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.)

My understanding of dating is that it is just another word for lovers, but without sleeping with other people at the same time.

[she's taking a guess, ok.

. . . her nose wrinkles before she gives Mon-El an unimpressed look]

They are not pets.

[spacebro]

Well, not the exact same time. ...Usually. [What happened on Daxam stays on Daxam!]

You take care of them and keep them with you. They're alive. Is it that different?

[noprophecies]

Is it not called cheating if you sleep with someone else while dating another?

[she huffs] I explained to you why I do it. Does that sound like keeping a pet? They are not dogs or cats.

. . . besides, I have a lizard. He is more of a pet.

[spacebro]

It...is complicated. Everyone knew the situation. It wasn't like earth.

But I hear you on the pet thing. Plants for magic aren't pets. Okay.

But you have a lizard? I haven't met this lizard. [Are you going to introduce him, Tempest? Are you?]

[noprophecies]

. . . I was not referring to your . . . whatever, just in general. [oops] The concept of "dating" isn't one I'm all together familiar with.

See? Not pets.

[. . . a long-suffering sigh] He lives in my room and eats the plants I leave for him. DO you want to meet him?

[spacebro]

It's newish for me too. At least newish in terms that aren't Daxam's. But a good new? [Except when he's making her break up with him over something.]

Of course I want to meet him. It would be rude not to know my lizard crewmate.

[noprophecies]

I suppose it's good? It's similar to courtship, but even that's something I don't know much about either. [and honestly, she was never interested in someone besides Sayid that she wanted to spend more than one night with]

. . . he is a pet, not a crewmate.

[spacebro]

You are very concerned with the labels. Pet, not crewmate, it is.

So, no dating or courtship for you. Everything was casual?

[noprophecies]

Labels? [aren't those the things on jars and the like??]

Do I seem like a woman who indulged in dating? [she shrugs a shoulder] With the exception of my current relationship and one other, yes. I did not have time for anything more than that, nor interest.

[spacebro]

Yes, like whether someone is a friend or acquaintance or annoying crewmate. Those kinds of labels.

Oh, wait, there's a current relationship? Who is it?

[noprophecies]

Oh. I did not know that they were known as labels as well. How strange.

[her nose wrinkles] His name is Sayid Jarrah, he is on the Bishop. We have been seeing each other for . . . quite a long time now. We met in the other world I was kidnapped to.
