[Hey, it's everyone's favourite demon. Or...at least a demon that some people have a positive opinion on. Same difference. Queen's Another One Bites The Dust plays in the background as he gives the camera a grin.]

So. While we all sit here, waiting for whatever fresh bullshit Atroma drops on us next, I thought we might have a little bit of fun, that we haven't done in a while. Lets have ourselves a little game of Never Have I Ever. It'll get you to know one another and let me in on your secrets, because I have to get my kicks somewhere. The idea is, you give a statement, if that statement is true for anyone, they don't take a drink, if it isn't, then they drink.

Basically, the less messed up your life is, the more wasted you're probably going to get.

You can do it over video, or you can come and drink at the bar. If you're underage and believe in rules, you can have slushies. You can have it in blue flavour or blue flavour. I'll even start. [AHEM] Never Have I Ever stolen a car.

[He takes a drink from the wine glass that's suddenly appeared in front of him. Was it always there?]

See? Easy.

[[ooc: Feel free to threadjack one another here, it's a free-for all!]]

[as long as it doesn't slide into certain territories with him, he doesn't have a "personal" limit] Whatever, fine, I'll try not to be personal.

Can't even give a good story about it, how is that better?

[watermarks]

[Flatly, and without the slightest trace of embarrassment:] Because it's not about sex.

[privateeyed]

Just 'cuz I went in that direction doesn't mean I wanna actually talk about it. I meant in general. Stories in general.

[watermarks]

Well, then go for something less boring than vision clarity and less rude than sex!

[ She pauses, and replays that sentence in her head. Then she laughs a little. ] See! I told you this game was hard.

[privateeyed]

Whatever.

[he rolls his eyes] It isn't that hard. It's your turn, though.

[watermarks]

[ She huffs. Well, fine, she can think of something that will make him drink. ] Never have I ever tried any alcohol.

[ ...look, that's nicer than the cyborg option. ]

[privateeyed]

Not yet. [he says, taking a drink. His nose wrinkles a little] One day you'll give in.

[he just has to tease her long enough that she gets frustrated and gives in]

Never have I ever gone on a road trip.

[watermarks]

Maybe. Probably not.

[Anyway, by any standard definition... Katara has to take a drink for that one. Even if technically, they were on Appa, and not on the road.]

Never have I ever... graduated from any kind of formal education.

[privateeyed]

[his nose wrinkles as he takes a drink]

I don't know why high school would count, but whatever. Formal education, sure.

I've never had hair longer than my shoulders.

[implying it has been that long at least once in his life]

[watermarks]

[ She takes a sip of her milkshake while staring at him suspiciously. ]

Are you just picking things that are obvious about me? Because that doesn't seem like a fun way to win this game. What am I supposed to say next, 'Never have I ever had a mechanical eye?'

[privateeyed]

I'm picking things I have never done, as per the rules. [he says it in that monotone where he's clearly lying and absolutely picking things that are obvious about her]

You can say that. I mean, it'd get me to drink. But seriously - my hair's never been that long. Been long-ish, but I cut it before it got crazy.

[watermarks]

[She gives him a look.] There's nothing crazy about guys having long hair.

[Plenty of guys from home have hair as long as hers, though most seemed to keep it about shoulder-length. Though... she doesn't think it would suit him.]

[privateeyed]

Didn't say that. Was implying that me with long hair is crazy. [he makes a gesture, to just above his shoulder] Got about here, more or less. Probably a little longer, I don't know, I didn't really pay attention. Got called a hobo a bunch.

[watermarks]

[ That was fair. So she nods. ]

Uh... never have I ever flown on an airplane?

[privateeyed]

[he takes a drink with a grumble] I hate flying.

I've never been to either of the poles.

[watermarks]

[ She takes a pointed sip of her milkshake. ]

I'm going to run out of milkshake. [It's a lie; it's half full.] Pick something real next time! Never have I ever ... wait, no, I did that. Hmm. [It's a lot harder when she's not just using her knowledge base to get at Ben.] Never have I ever tried sardines and peanut butter.

[ She is staring at YOU in her brain, Shikamaru. ]

[privateeyed]

I'm picking real shit! I've never been there - that's real. [and also an easy pick but DETAILS]

—wait - who the fuck has ever - no. No, I don't wanna know, that's gross. [that's the grossest shit he's ever heard, yuck]

Fine, real shit. I've never eaten pineapple on pizza.

[watermarks]

[ She takes a sip. ] I'm not even sure I've ever had pizza -- no, wait. There was that one time, with Allen. But... it had tomato sauce. Do people really eat pineapples with tomato sauce?

[privateeyed]

. . . okay, we need to hunt someone down who can make pizza like, immediately. But yeah - tomato sauce and cheese and - they put ham on it too, ham and pineapple, like the fuckin' heathens they are. It's gross, but people like it, I don't know why.

[watermarks]

[ She makes a face. ] That sounds like it would be too acidic. I like pineapple, but... no.

[ Okay, whose turn -- oh, hers. ] Never have I ever... driven a car!

[ That note of triumph is not about making Ben drink, it's about figuring out something that she hasn't done which isn't too personal. ]

[privateeyed]

It is too acidic, but some people like it that way. Then again, people put literally anything on pizza. You name it, it's been on a pizza.

[his nose wrinkles as he takes a drink]

I've never rode a horse.

[watermarks]

[ She does not sip! She has also never ridden a horse.

Weird Earth animals. ] Hmm... never have I ever... [ ugh, the only thing she can think of is what she's been trying not to say: ] ...fallen in love of my own free will.

[privateeyed]

[it isn't hard to miss how quickly his shoulders tense right up, or the brief wince on his face. Like it physically hurts to even think about it. Wow.

But it's there and gone (at least, the wince is) before he takes a drink, muttering curses into his glass]

I've never had a crush.

[watermarks]

[ Sorry, she didn't mean to overshare - she was just stuck!

But she can at least take a sip of her milkshake on this one. A big sip. This... is a thing that has happened to her a lot, with various degrees of disaster attached to it. ]

Seriously?

[ She finds it hard to believe that he's fallen in love and never had a crush. ]

[privateeyed]

[he shrugs, glancing down at what remains of his drink, and seriously considering adding some actual alcohol to it now]

Not really, no. Found guys attractive, I guess, but never - crushed on them? I'm kinda dumb with that stuff, though. [he's mumbling, cuz - well, it's dumb] Don't gotta crush on someone for the other shit.
