driftfleet | 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.)

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I could probably say I haven't either [But this is him taking a drink] but I did finish my schooling. [It just wasn't called high school and wasn't public.]

I never watched movies before this last year.

I should've said schoolin', then, but yeah, never finished mine. [why do that when you can be a career criminal?

He gives the screen a strange look, then takes a drink] Not a movie guy?

I've never been to Disneyland.

We didn't have them. They are one of my favorite things to do now. [Can you "do" a movie?] Or before I was here. I still like it but I've seen Princess Bride [Trying to mentally count] twenty...thirty times? It's been a lot.

[No drinking for him.] That's a city in California, isn't it? I haven't really left National City.

I've never eaten a whole pizza in one sitting. [Kara always gets to it before he can try.]

That's a lot of times to watch a movie. You better get all the references I'm gonna drop. Where are ya from that you don't go movies, though? That's a crime.

[...] It's a theme park in Florida and California, yeah.

[he has to think about it before he grumbles and takes a drink] Kids live on pizza.

I've never watched a movie over thirty times.

[He hesitates.] I think it was thirty or less. [Drinks anyway.]

Daxam. The planet Daxam. We did have many forms of entertainment. We just didn't have anything that exactly translates to movies.

I never washed my own clothes until this year. ["Until this year" might be a theme.]

That's still a lot. I think my personal best is five.

. . . yeah, never heard of Daxam. So you're an alien?

[he takes a drink, and then:]

I've never been anythin' but human.

You could look at it that way, but then I could say you're the alien too. Or we both are because this isn't Earth or Daxam.

[He drinks and stops himself from doing, "I've never been anything but Daxamite".]

I've never dated anyone in the fleet. [And he goes ahead and drinks because why play correctly.]

You could be technical about it, sure. [but he'll give that a pass thank you.

He doesn't drink and snorts when Mon-El does]

Neither have I. [dryly] I've never driven a spaceship.

[He drinks again!] I guess you're not a pilot here?

I've never been...an engineer? [Just a shot in the dark but at least he's not making himself drink.]

Nope. Only know how to drive a couple of things. [maybe. Cars and boats, mostly.

He doesn't drink, grinning]

I've never been personnel. [is this how we're gonna play it]

[Mon-El doesn't drink either.] That one would work on my girlfriend though. [Wait, are they using those terms? Moving on!]

I've never been...maintenance?

Yeah? Who's your girlfriend? [uh oh, look what you've done now. He doesn't drink]

I've never been communications.

Kara Danvers. [Is this the end? Do you need her address too?]

[No drinking for him either.] Uh, tactical? I mean, I've never been tactical.

[there's a name that lights up the nerdy side of his brain]

Can't say I know her. [not YET. He doesn't drink]

I'm runnin' out of jobs in this place that aren't the one I have.

You'd know her if you met her because she's the best. [He smiles.]

Me too. I guess that means we're both security?

I'm sensin' a little bias there. [good god, kids in love]

Lookin' like it. [he lifts his glass to take a drink]

Yes, but she's also objectively the best. [They are the worst.]

[He'll take a drink too just to keep it balanced.] So what's your name?

That's objectively biased. [they really, really are]

Name's Sawyer. Like the character, if you're caught up on your Earth literature.
