[Mini Player Event] Never Have I Ever

[crushed_pearls]

Who: EVERYONE
What: A rousing game of Never Have I Ever, and other entertainments
When: Saturday, May 4th, starting at around noon
Where: Oak & Iron
Warning(s): Intoxication and whatever you bring in with you; the prompts here are ideas for your own TLs

Shortly after the island comes back and rebuilding begins, the esteemed Mister Yorick of the newspaper gets the Erin Peters experience, where she flings his door open and yells, "YOU LIKE GETTING DRUNK MOTHERFUCKER?" Somehow this kills him, and Erin honestly is not sure how, but a much more sedate second visit leads to an announcement in the newspaper:

Never Have I Ever
Saturday the Fourth, Oak & Iron
First Round of Drinks Free
If You Drink, You Play
We're Never Going To Say This Again But Food From Home Encouraged, Our Chefs Aren't Immortal

If You Have Never Heard Of This Game, Start Talking About Large Boats And Ask The First Person Who Has A Flashback How It's Played

Attendance isn't mandatory, but it's about to be hard to miss at least seeing the damn thing...

The Party

Erin's come prepared for this one. It took some cajoling. It took pleading and browbeating to get extra chefs on deck so people could switch out to participate. It took opening extra kegs and casks, and, yes, it took stealing and fixing a whole lot of furniture that had been damaged by the flood, but right now Oak & Iron is not merely the building, but most of the Outside(tm) near the building. The event proper starts at noon but setup started at 8 PM the night before and Erin straight up just did not go to bed until it was done. The Pine Devil can come at her if it thinks it's hard enough.

The end result is a whole lot of mismatched outdoor seating with a variety of chairs, stools, tree stumps carved into "chairs", Frankensteined tables, and an outdoor bar. Staff from the inn collects money from that bar, where Erin Peters is working, every 25 minutes on the dot, and your hostess has a sharp and sly grin on her face whenever she's not actively engaged in a conversation. Food is available but bringing dishes of one's own is strongly permitted. Hell, come bring it and sell it, this may be the only time the inn doesn't care that you're technically competing with them.

She has, after all, been starving for Glamour under the sea. She expects to feed well.

A large sign next to the bar reads: I'm Blind As Fuck And This Game Goes Hard, Drink At Own Risk

Smaller letters immediately beneath say: Anyone Dying Of Alcohol Poisoning Will Be Mocked

The Game

Never Have I Ever is a simple game. Someone makes a truthful statement, such as "Never have I ever had a fist fight with a bear," and anyone who can't truthfully agree with that statement must take a drink. Though there's no actual formal obstacle against lying, people fudging the truth while Erin is walking past with drinks or to see friends might get a nudge with a wing and this blind bitch announcing 'liar' in a sharp tone that might be play or might be bullying and is probably both (feel free to NPC this happening if it's of interest to you!).

Feel free to simply tag in with your question as the header, as seen here. Even the prose is optional! Folks will come to you with whether or not their character drinks and you can thread or not thread from there.

The Long Walk Home

Did you survive your own poor choices? Do you have a plan to make it home safely before, or after, dark? Not like Oak and Iron can bear the entire town within its walls, so...

Comments

Never have I ever forgotten a name.

[prince_of_beasts]

Of course the moment he's asked to think of something he's never done, all he can remember are the things he has done.

He's certain he's never forgotten a name, though.

[abhorrently]

Yeah. This requires a drink. Are all these going to be about forgetting things?

[pineapplesalmon]

César takes a look at his drink, then drinks. "Dang it."

[littlefairytale]

Dimitri gets a friendly 'oh darnit you got me' sort of look as she drinks for this one.

[prince_of_beasts]

What is Never Have I Ever for, if not to tease and-or flex on your friends. A little, as a treat.

[redlightgreenlight]

This is truly not a fair question, it would be impossible to remember every name of every person she's met in over two thousand years.

[lasthumanvoice]

"Yeeeeah." Cecil sighs and lifts his glass again.

[yournewsidekick]

Nimona sticks out her tongue at Dimitri, then drinks.

Look, she's over a thousand years old, what do you want from her?

[prince_of_beasts]

Dimitri toasts Nimona with his own unsipped drink. His expression is meticulously not smug.

(He wouldn't be if he knew about the immortality, but alas.)

[graveling]

"...my fucking own, depending on how you squint at it." Sip.

[prince_of_beasts]

"I hadn't considered that possibility, but I suppose it does count."

[tehilim127_1]

"I used to have a button," Zivia says, lifting her mug, "that said hi, I can't remember your name either. Great for wearing right next to a nametag."

[inaurate]

Claude doesn't drink. Hypervigilence buddies!

[prince_of_beasts]

Does it count as a toast if you're not drinking? Either way, Dimitri salutes Claude with his mug.

[jeveuxpartir]

"Man, have I forgotten some HONKing names. Like, a whole life's worth."

All griping aside, she knocks back a longer drink this time.

[stonecoldtop]

George takes a drink.
He almost wants to congratulate Dimitri for this one.

[battlebyballad]

She takes a drink and sighs. “Loathe as I am to admit, I meet too many people not to.”

[cacophonish]

"Dude, how? Do you have, like, one of those photographic super brains?"

Drink #3.

[prince_of_beasts]

Dimitri preens, just a little. "Not generally, but I never forget someone I've met."

Drink

[be_seeing_you]

He considers his glass for a moment, expression quite serious for what should be a light-hearted game. Ultimately, he does drink.

[thethirteenthchild]

Dahlia doesn't drink. "I think I just haven't known enough people to have reason to forget a name. It's a small island."

Drink

[maximumcake]

Max can't think of a time recently where that's happened but he's sure it has at least once. So he drinks.

[closureisformovies]

She almost refuses to believe this is even possible. Drink.
