Video/Action : Open : "I Never" Game!
Who: Mon-El and YOU!
Broadcast: Open to all
Action: Open at the Space Bar
When: Now
I should probably mention I'm awake again since that's what everyone's doing. Who knew so many of us were sleeping together? [Light laughter. Yep. Okay, more serious face now.]
So, I heard what happened, and I don't want to make light of that. I know what losing a planet is like and it's...not great. [Such understatement.] But I also wanted to provide some distraction. [It's what he's best at.] Some fun. Some potential healing? [For himself too. He's still processing what happened to Okita and the others.]
For anyone who is interested—either over the network or by coming into the Space Bar at the Iskaulit—let's play a game I picked up on earth called, I Never. [He may also be correcting what he thought was awkward grammar from someone saying "Never have I ever." Details.]
So, you take turns and say something like, "I never crash landed on Earth." And if you have then you take a drink. [And he does.] Which is usually alcohol, but apparently [apparently, he says] kids don't do that here, so water or whatever is fine too. The objective is to make the other person drink more than you, so you might just get them really hydrated instead of drunk.
It's a good way to get to know someone too, so everyone's welcome even all those people I don't know yet. I'll start.
I never was born on Earth. [He doesn't drink.]
[If you do meet up with him at the Space Bar you'll see he's actually bartending and drinking on the job! But he has superhuman tolerance so there's that. He may even be responsible and switch to club soda if he needs to. He'll offer you a drink even if you're not interested in the game.]
(OOC: Feel free to threadjack if you want in on this concept with someone else too or just to point and laugh. You might want to check with them, but it's cool with me. And if anything goes to a place you don't want it to go just let me know or give me a heads up if there is something to avoid up front. He won't be intentionally hardcore about it.)

In the interest of bar solidarity! [He doesn't drink at Mon-El's statement. Then again, he wasn't even technically BORN. ] I never learned how to play a musical instrument.
Video;
I never ran a bar. [Bartending is definitely not running!]

Never even stepped foot there. [Earth sounds weird. ] Um. Okay. I never accidentally drugged myself and tripped out for the better part of a day.
[He takes a drink- which defeats the purpose of the game, but he actually wants to get drunk so who's the real winner here?]
Action
Without even having to think about his answer to this one he takes a drink. He could list many times. Daxam wasn't the best place even as the prince of it. He also respects this form of game play. It's easier to think of things you have done, but for the moment he'll play as intended.]
We've got that in common. Um, I've never lived in an ice town. [And it's true. He has not.]

Thanks. It was 2016 on Earth when I was there so... [He nods after completing his century math homework and takes a drink. It's not like Daxam was using the same calendar so it takes a second to process. He's far from drunk!]
I've never... [Oh, what did they do in shows Winn explained as taking place in the past?] ridden a horse.

He takes a drink for Mon-El's, because he was indeed born on Earth in the middle of its crappiest places. And then he takes some time to think of one he can say. Finally, he does and says it with a bit of a chuckle in his voice like it's no big deal, completely not realizing that others might think it's depressing.]

Oh, this will be fun to play over the network! Or even in person. Let's see. I'll have to think of a good one.
Never have I ever... Driven a race car!

He takes his first drink at the start, as said home country is Cuba.]
It's been way too long since I've been home, but... Yeah. Uhhh. Never have I ever started a fist fight with someone way bigger than me.
[He chuckles, then--oh. Suddenly does take a drink to that too.]
Whoops, forgot about elementary school.
[action]
Elementary school though. I'm not sure if I'm impressed or concerned.
Oh, and I've never been roller skating. [That's a thing Earthlings do, right?]

Oh. You know, I wasn't sure. [He does remember the calibrations even after his nap. And now he's taking a drink before putting it down and looking more thoughtful.]
Wait, it doesn't count if you're just kidnapped and thrown in a cage, does it? Or if it's a secret, off-the-books government agency holding you for a crime you didn't commit?
[He'll ask another soon. But this is clearly important. He may have had alcohol for NO REASON! Wait...he likes having alcohol for not reason.]

[Action/Also Video for the Game part]
She finished shift a short while ago, so Mon-El can take charge of the bar proper while she, uh. Sits on the end of it. Look, she's a cute bookend, okay.]
I'm guessing that'll get half the Fleet. Too bad about the other half. [But hmm, she has to think of an addition to this game.
A toast!]
I've never fallen in love.
[Drink, you losers.]
[Action]
[Mon-El is so happy to drink in the name of love!]
Really? Never? [He shouldn't be so surprised. He really hadn't before Kara and if you count the years he spent in a space coma he's very old. But why would you count that time?]
I've never dated anyone? [He drinks because this is really just a question.]

He cocks his head curiously as he watches Mon-El explain the game. It's posed as a method of healing and getting to know people, but exactly how a game where everyone gets as inebriated as possible does that, he's not sure. But he's not sure of a lot of things having to do with mortal behavior, so he does what he always does when he doesn't get something: he asks questions.] Why is alcohol used in this game?
[Action]
I got the feeling it was created as a drinking game and that's usually a big part of those. But also to get you to relax and open up. Enjoy yourself. Did you want a drink? We have more than alcohol if that's not your thing.

Sounds like fun. Earth's not the name of the world I'm from, far as I know.

He tips a glass of wine at the camera to show that he's prepared but doesn't drink.]
I imagine you'd have a nearly equal chance of victims for that one. Give or take depending on the month...
[He taps his fingers on the table, thinking, then smiles darkly]
I have never kissed a woman.
video;
Regardless, he lifts his beverage because of course he's drinking for that, but he manages a spit take mid-drink as he realizes Felix isn't taking one for himself.] Never? How? Why?

Space Bar ~
I never was quick to the idea that magic wasn't real.
[Merlan didn't drink because in her heart, she always believed just enough that magic or technology replicating such was real. It had to be. Khadgar was proof of it, Sam Winchester, the Bloodsport. She leaned forward with a serious look on her face and then just laughed.]
I'd say advanced...everything, here, is close enough to magic for me. The technology is incredible.
no subject
I've never lived anywhere without advanced technology. [A reply and the next round! Although Earth certainly had less than he was used to, but he hung out in a secret government lair equipped with the latest and greatest so he may also not be fully aware of what limitations average Earthlings experience in technology.]

I never have celebrated Christmas. [Speaking of Earth customs. He'd only made it to Halloween. He was actually in the fleet for the last Christmas, but things were still dicey with Winn and Kara not having memories of him then so he didn't join in anyone's reindeer games.]
