Never have I ever made a fool of myself [video, nebula 17]

[monkeyinthewrench]

What's up, party people?

[ And here's a cheerful wave from a man in orange, seated in his room with a mug of...something. ]

If we haven't met yet, my name's Jake. Jake Peralta, your clues guy. I'm down to poke things with sticks and solve mysteries! Sooner we figure out what the train's entire deal is, where we're going and all that, the better, right? But in the meantime, I thought it'd be fun to get to know my new squad!

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone would be down to play a little Earth game called Never Have I Ever. How it works is you say something totally cool, or weird, or boring that you haven't done. And anybody who has done it has to take a drink. Unfortunately, I'm as broke here as I was back home, so I can't supply the booze. And we should probably be setting a good example, right?

So just drink whatever you have! Be that water, juice, milk, coffee...or if you happen to have a proper adult beverage on you, go ahead and drink responsibly. You ready? Great, I'll start: never have I ever gone skydiving!

((ooc: it's a big mingle format! Go ahead and add new 'never have I ever' statements as new toplevels, and threadhop all you want.))

[She frowns.]

That does not sound like the One to me. It's not like the creation of death was against the rules per say, more a breach in trust. The One provided the energy for the Lone Power to work on Their own part of creation, and the result caused irreversible damage.

Of course! Most aren't as good as the original films, but there are some real gems in the mix. Plus they tell you so much more about the universe that the story takes place in. Like other Jedi! And even more kinds of people who are Force sensitive!

I've been told that change is one of the few things you can expect in life. So you might as well enjoy the good parts, yeah?

Good place to wrap this thread?

The One in your universe may not be obsessed with obedience, but Eru in my universe certainly was. The beginning of the breach between them was a vast choral event in which Melkor, the Lone Power, tried to sing his own song instead of simply backing up the others. Eru was furious. And as for death, Eru created that, and Melkor used it for evil.

Your Star Wars story sounds interesting! Maybe sometime I'll look in our library and see if the tale is there, or maybe I'll buy it from the train store.

[ Hurrah for geeks! ]

Nothing is certain but change. That's for sure! So I guess you're right, the thing to do is enjoy the best of it.

Sounds good! Thanks for

[wizard_redfive]

[That's rather petty, Eru. Dair scowls just a little, then shrugs.]

Well, I can't claim to know what the One's thinking, let alone other versions of Them. Perhaps the song was more than just a special event, and messing it up had more serious consequences than it sounds. Either way, Melkor didn't have to take it out on everyone else.

Let me know if you succeed! [So she can read them as well.]

You're welcome, and thank you!

[so_dark_a_road]

Mabye so.

And yes, I'll let you know if I succeed in finding the Star Wars tale.
