[Mini Player Event] Never Have I Ever

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...

Daisy takes a long, looooong drink for this one. "Often without ever finding out. I was the scene's resident lesbian dirtybag for—" she blows air like hoo, boy "—a long time? Let's just say a long time."

"Oh, but you do so look like a girl that would work for. If you skipped the pleasantries with me I don't think I'd spend too long missing them."

Daisy quirks a brow and a smirk. Cute. "You wouldn't. Didn't keep winning over girls with that reputation without being worth it."

No shame on this woman.

An mmmf purrs itself out from Music's throat without her realizing. "Gods I wanna make you prove that."

Only after the thought is finished does she realize it left through her lips, and she flushes a deep, bashful mauve.

Oh this one's cute cute, huh. Daisy's head tilts to the side, thick waves of short hair rearranging and flashing one of the dainty daisy earrings now back in her ears. "No one makes me do much. But that doesn't mean I won't prove it."

Her ears flick and flutter as she very near melts in her seat. "Ten apologies, ma'am. You're in charge ma'am."

"Better." This is fun. Feels almost like she's in her 20s again. "Guess we better avoid hearing the other's name. Not really proving the point if the pleasantries do happen."

"Of course. I'll eagerly await it, though I think I'm spoken for tonight. I'll be a good girl and not ask your name until you've had the chance to make your proof, but it'll be oh so hard."

Her smile would stretch the whole horizon if it could just get past her ears, and she squirms a bit in her seat just to release some of her own energy.

Daisy's probably going to quietly boggle about how that Hawkeye guy of all people apparently has actual game later, but for now she's filing that away and keeping up the cool demeanour.

"Good. Waiting makes the rewards even better, I think." It's not just a line, not really. The edge of a chase, some kind of anticipation, has always been a part of Daisy's appetite.

"Shall I tell you where I'm staying or assume you'll find me when you want me?" Gods, she hopes it's the latter.

Daisy cocks her head as if she's thinking about it, but the answer comes a bit too quickly for her to have needed to consider it long. "I'll find you. I've got my ways."

"I'll eagerly await you then, handsome. I'd say I'll be ready for you, but I almost hope I'm not."

Daisy laughs under her breath and flashes a sharp, smirk-like smile. "Guess we'll see. Either way. You'll enjoy yourself."

No 'I think' or any other such qualifiers. Just a confident declarative statement.
