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.)

[A table, with a good view of the room. His camera is even out, just in case. You never know when a good opportunity will come along.

He scoots up from a slouch when she approaches and quickly slides a hand through his hair.] Uh, yeah. Help yourself.

[axi]

Thanks. [She slides into the seat across from him with a smile, drink still in hand.]

My name's Kaname, and I believe it's your turn.

[this_loser]

Uh, Prompto.

[He smiles back, and it's a bit crooked and a bit nervous, because this was easier when they weren't face to face.]

I've, hm... I've never worn high heels.

[axi]

Nice to meet you.

[Taking notice of his sudden nerves, she can't help but chuckle, both at that and the statement.]

Nice to meet you. And I believe I'm drinking again. [Which she does.] Have you been here long?

[this_loser]

[He tips his glass back and forth, brows pulling together as he does the mental math.]

A while. Bout half a year now. It doesn't seem like a lot compared to some others here, but ... it feels like a lot.

[axi]

Mm, I get that. [And she does.] With no control over where you're headed, it can seem longer somehow.

[Kaname pauses, looking thoughtful.] I've never been in a car accident.

[this_loser]

Mm. This-- [He waves a hand at the bar, and really the whole big ship in general.] --kinda helps. [But distraction was only good for so much.]

Damn. Not only have I been in one... [He takes a bigger drink than he needs to.] ...I was the one behind the wheel. They don't let me drive any more. [He had a good excuse, right?]

[axi]

[Her eyes widen slightly when he mentions that, looking at him curiously.]

Well, that's a story for another time. [She pauses.] You're not a pilot are you?

[this_loser]

Oh, no. But that would be super cool, right? [Flying a space ship would be awesome. Way cooler than driving the Regalia.] Nah. I'm maintenance.

[axi]

Ah, yeah... [Her smile momentarily grows wistful as she falls silent, remembering something.] Pilots are pretty impressive.

[Kaname looks at him again, foregoing the game for the time being.] What does maintenance involve?
