Video/Action : Open : "I Never" Game!

[spacebro]

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.)

1782. [He gives a little wave.] Hey, I'm John Laurens.

[the_tailor]

That's....a really, really long time ago. Anyway, uh, hi there, John. My name's Lance. And I'm from a few centuries after you.

[unbridles]

I've found that a lotta people are, around here. Nice to meet ya, where exactly are you from?

[the_tailor]

Cuba, originally, but I was in the U.S. last time I was on Earth.

[unbridles]

[He can't help but brighten a little, still, every time he hears 'United States'. It's so freakin cool.]

I'm from South Carolina myself, for me Cuba's a colony of Spain.

[the_tailor]

Oh. Yeah, that was definitely a long time ago. Man, this time difference stuff really throws me off sometimes. Sometimes it's weirder than the different worlds thing.

[unbridles]

It's definitely taken some getting used to. Though I gotta say, electricity is real nice.

[the_tailor]

I seriously don't know how you guys ever survived without it.

[unbridles]

Well, it was real cold, for one thing.

[the_tailor]

No bueno. I'm a beach boy, I'm not great with the cold.

[He hums and taps his chin.]

Which is kind of funny, because my lion can shoot out ice beams, so that's kind of my thing...

[unbridles]

Neither was Alexander. [There's a small grin.] Is? I dunno, everything's so weird here.

...Wait, what, a lion?

[the_tailor]

Alexander? That a buddy of yours?

[To that question, he smirks. Oh boy, here we go. When Lance gets started on Blue...]

Giant sentient ancient robot lion that I pilot, actually. Her name's Blue and she's basically the best thing ever.

[unbridles]

[He can't hide a smile there.]

My dearest friend. He's from further south than I am, though we both kinda hate New York winters. [Well. It'd be easy to hate winter, having had to deal with Valley Forge.]

....Robot...lion? Like a mechanical one?

[the_tailor]

I've always wanted to go to New York! It's up north though, so I guess it gets pretty cold there, huh?

Yeah. Mechanical. But also kind of magical.

[unbridles]

Yeah. 'Specially in winter, but you kinda get used to it after a while.

Oh man, you gotta tell me about this. Or show me! Is it here?
