6th floor common room- Wednesday evening

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Once again, Sabine's stuff had gone missing, and she'd decided it was the day to actually look through the common rooms and see if it was somewhere there somehow. And once she got to the sixth floor, a floor she wasn't even sure she'd realized they had, she found a party set up. There was food, there were drinks, there was music going, there were even vaguely partyish decorations strung up.

But no one was here, and she looked around before getting out her phone and sending a group text to the dorms: Did someone throw a party on the sixth floor and forget to tell anyone? Because there's one waiting up here.

So, maybe she'd wait for people and see if they knew what was up? And anyway, there was free food and drink, so she went to grab a soda, and spotted a familiar symbol on a cap. "Hey, this is mine."

I Never's the star, but feel free to add your own in a subthread!

I Never

[seriesofbaddecisions]

So somehow, they had all gotten to sitting around, talking about things they never did, and lo, a game was started.

"Okay, I'll go," Sabine said once she'd settled in with a Coke. "I've never been to a homecoming before."

There, start easy.

"I've never actually played this game before," Peebee admitted. "That's kind of sad, isn't it?"

Well, now, this could get pretty interesting. Prompto had to admit, he was a little excited about this, though any time he tried to think of something to contribute, it was...mostly stuff he wouldn't want to admit to a group of his peers that he'd never done before. It didn't take him long to snort a little as he got inspired, looking around the room and smirking at Sabine.

"I've never dyed my hair before," he announced, maybe a little smugly.

“I’ve never stuffed myself into a torpedo casing and shot myself out into space,” Peebee volunteered at the first lull in the conversation.

She sounded very disappointed in herself.

Vette paused to seriously consider things she'd wanted to do in her lifetime, but never had the opportunity to. After a few moments she perked up, lifted her glass, and grinned.

"I've never stolen a ship before," she volunteered.

Plenty of other things, never a ship.

Re: I Never

Feeling instantly bad for how well his hair question went over with two particular party guests at the moment, Prompto somehow managed to flash them both an apologetic smile at the same time while he boldly ventured into his next statement.

"Never have I ever been blue."

You're welcome, ladies.

Re: I Never

[seriesofbaddecisions]

"I never..." Sabine looked around the room for inspiration, realized she didn't know what anyone was drinking, and said, "I've never been drunk."

Re: I Never

[seriesofbaddecisions]

And just for you, Prompto: "I've never initiated a selfie."

Astrid chewed her lip for a little while as she thought of some of the things she'd never done, and realized that most of them were pretty basic and boring and not terribly interesting, so she didn't know if she'd be any good at any suggestions, but she felt she had to at least offer something.

"I've never....gotten a permanent tattoo," she offered, adding the emphasis for any sticklers who might make arguments for henna.

Re: I Never

[in_sidon_we_trust]

Sidon, looking around the room and probably putting far too much consideration and thought into what was essentially just a silly party game, wanted to come up with something that would play well to the wide range of people participating. And he did come up with something, something for which he was rather proud of when he got around to taking a turn.

"I've never been to another planet," he stated, "besides Earth and the one on which I was hatched."

Pause.

"Born," he corrected.

There. That should garner a nice variety and a good dose of drinking from at least a handful of them.

Re: I Never

[chirpchirpchirp]

Vette looked at her drink for a moment thoughtfully, and then offered, "I've never danced with someone whose name I don't even know."

She had danced with plenty of people, mostly on odd jobs with the gang - long stories, most of them - but she'd known enough about those targets before ever meeting them that they didn't really count.

Re: I Never

[seriesofbaddecisions]

So this was hard, and Sabine was trying to come up with things that others might have done that she hadn't.

"I've never... been naked in public?"

...Maybe someone had? Look, you never knew.

Re: I Never

[unusual_sith]

Lana thought hard about what she could say. Something that would be interesting and that maybe some people would have done?

"I have never...defaced public property before. Or private, come to that."

Re: I Never

[chirpchirpchirp]

Okay, a few of these drinks were kind of starting to get to her now, so Vette, emboldened by Sabine's naked I Never, took a deep breath and blurted, "I've never been kissed."

...

SHUT UP SHE WASN'T WATCHING CAREFULLY TO SEE WHO WAS DRINKING THAT WAS YOUR IMAGINATION.

Re: I Never

[white_oleander]

Prompto might not have thought anyone was paying attention with the tattoo question, but the asker of it had been, and now she was wondering if she could try to parse out those tattoos he was trying to hope nobody noticed he had with more questions.

"I've never," Astrid ventured, "had a tattoo of someone's name or initials."

Re: I Never

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Oh! She had one!

"I've never been bitten by a gremlin."

Re: I Never

[white_oleander]

Since once good turn deserved another, after Sabine's gremlin bite question, Astrid had to shoot out, "I've never turned into an animal."

Re: I Never

[revengenotebook]

Rosa's lockpicking class was still on Paris's mind, so when it was her turn, she offered, "I've never broken into a classroom or something after hours."

Re: I Never

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Two could play this game, Astrid! "I've never seen my roommate without clothes."

Whatever, it'd made radio. No shame now.

Re: I Never

[unusual_sith]

"I've never..." Hm. "Sung in public," Lana declared.

Re: I Never

[hashtag_chocobro]

"I've never..." Prompto narrowed his eyes, trying to think of something really out there and ridiculous, "....declared my love for someone in an overly dramatic fashion."

Gods, he hoped at least someone drank on that one!

Re: I Never

[chirpchirpchirp]

"I have never dressed up in sexy clothes just to try to seduce somebody," Vette declared.

That had been Taunt's job. Or, if Vette had, there had always been ulterior motives.

Ones that mostly ended in someone getting dead.

Re: Games!

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Having never played this, Sabine didn't know if you went around the room or just took a turn as you came up with things, so she stuck with the second thing.

"I've never needed to be bailed out of jail."
