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.)

It's a fairly large, very colourful bird, beak like a toucan, and its predominantly known for always, always looking South. Sailors will sometimes catch one if they can't rely on their compasses, which in the oceans we sail is more often than you'd think.

[mongoosecrow]

Holy shit that seems pretty awesome actually. Very useful when you're planetside.

[namisan]

They're pretty bad-tempered, though. And intelligent. The one we tracked down literally led us through the most bug-infested parts of the jungle to be an ass.

[mongoosecrow]

Ah... So less awesome then.

Sounds like some pilots I know.

[namisan]

Oh? Sounds like those pilots are some real great guys.

[It's an amused kind of sarcasm.]

[mongoosecrow]

The one I'm thinking of is salarian and he's a huge pain in the ass.

[namisan]

Yeah? Is he here or are you just remembering him with fondness?

[mongoosecrow]

I haven't seen any salarians to be honest.

It's kind of weird. That and asari. I'm used to them being all over the place.

[namisan]

Are there any races here you do recognise? Curious.

[mongoosecrow]

Humans. [He says it with a joking tone, knowing the answer is impish.]

[namisan]

[Snrk. Well played, sir.]

And yet half the people here who look human probably claim to be something else entirely.

[mongoosecrow]

I know right? I really gotta be careful about assuming.

[namisan]

I wouldn't worry. Most people are all too happy to share where they're from. It's kind of nice. I'm not used to people being so free with information about themselves.

[Even Luffy, who's such an open book, doesn't think to tell people anything about himself because they never asked.]

[mongoosecrow]

It helps that we're all kind of in the same boat.
