never have I ever!

It's time for a game of Never Have I Ever!

The rules of Never Have I Ever are simple: Players take turns listing potential experiences they've never had. If someone has done the action in question, they take a shot or a sip (or whatever other consequence you dream up). If no one has done the action in question, the person who posed the query takes a drink. The house drink of the night is Pixie Punch which may or may not cause any of the following effects: Standard drunk behaviour, giggling, flirting, oversharing, clinginess. (Pick your favourites!)

Not a drinker? No problem! There's plenty of juice and snacks to go around if you want to stay sober. The non-alcoholic punch and food, if sprinkled with fairy dust, may cause similar effects listed above (minus the drunk effects, of course.)

This game takes place on the Fable Network! You can reply in-person with action prompts if you imagine everyone is drinking in the same tavern, or reply with text-prompts if your character might be across the room from someone else. Sometimes it's easier to say things through text than it is face-to-face ... (Which could be for better or worse.)

Flowr is a brand new app on your device! Or is it...? Maybe it's been there the whole time. Either way, it's Fable's socialising app! The default fruit for the app is a strawberry (🍓) emoji, but what's stopping you from changing it to the fruit that you grow on your trees instead? 🍎🍊🍌🍐🫐🍑

( GASP. )

Hilda...! You traitor-! ( SIP. )

Well, then. Never have I ever made any accessories!

[indolentaxe]

Don't hate the player, Kaveh. Hate the game. ♥

[She takes a sip of her drink like a champ.]

Never have I ever had blonde hair~

[alcazarzaray]

( BEGRUDGINGLY, he drinks. )

Never have I ever had pink hair! ( Who could have seen that coming? )

[indolentaxe]

[Hilda laughs and takes another drink. She's shocked at that turn of events.]

Okay, okay, I'm done with the targeted prompts. [For now.]

Hmmm... never have I ever left my home country.

[alcazarzaray]

But, Hilda... isn't that still a targeted prompt for the two of us?! Haven't we both left our home countries to arrive in this place?

( He fills her up a glass, and then one for himself, while giggling. )

Rules are rules. And don't say it doesn't count, because I know in my heart that it does.

[indolentaxe]

Wait, wait, I mean back home!

[He pours them drinks anyway, and well... dammit, he's right. She picks hers up, clinks her glass with his, and drinks deeply from it.]

[alcazarzaray]

Hehehehe!

( Someone seems proud of himself. And pleasantly tipsy already. )

Hmm, well, to answer your question ... I haven't left my home country, actually. How about yourself?

[indolentaxe]

[Him and her both.]

I haven't, either. But I think I'd like to. It sounds like a grand adventure, just going and seeing the sights of the world beyond... well, Fódlan.

Maybe we can visit each other! Somehow. Not any more impossible than us both ending up here, right?

[alcazarzaray]

I would adore that. I'm sure there's a way to make it happen!

( Sip! )

What are you most fond of back home? Anyone you'd want me to meet in particular?

[indolentaxe]

You mean, besides being able to go shopping in Derdriu? Which we would totally have to do if we go, by the way. I guess I miss... people.

I'd have to introduce you to my brother and Baltie, for sure. They're kind of... warrior-y... but they're great guys. And it's not like you're competing for my hand or anything, so they probably won't threaten you.

[alcazarzaray]

( Shopping!! Yes please. )

I do, too. But you know I'd go shopping with you any time you like here! Even if it's not the same as home.

( Kaveh laughs. ) Good to know. Is everyone in your land as strong as you are? ( Those muscles, girl. )

[indolentaxe]

Yeah, but it's not the same as shopping in a city, you know?

[Downside to living in cottagecore land.]

And no, no, this is a Goneril family trait. [The Crest of Goneril helps.] We've always been a pretty martial house.

[alcazarzaray]

That's very true. Nothing here quite resembles Sumeru City ... oh, how I'd love to take you there one time. It's marvellous! And I'm definitely not biased as a contributor to the city's architectural aesthetic, of course.

( Another drink. )

Ahh, I see! A family of strength! I'm impressed. I never grew up with any siblings, but my mother was an architect just like me.

[indolentaxe]

I can't imagine why you'd be biased in any way. [Hilda giggles.] I'd love to be able to see it, someday. Maybe using our magical fairy dream powers or something.

[It makes sense to her, kinda.]

I have an older brother. But it goes beyond whether or not I have siblings. In Fódlan, noble bloodlines matter. Like... way too much. The stuff some houses do to maintain those bloodlines is insane, especially if the bloodline has a Crest in it.

[Pause.]

Do you know what a Crest is?

[Of course he doesn't, Hilda.]

[alcazarzaray]

( Hopefully there will be some weird magicy opportunity for him to show Sumeru to Hilda. But in response to her question, he shakes his head. )

I haven't heard of a "Crest" ... I'm going to assume you're using the word in a way that describes something that isn't an emblem or a coat of arms symbol. ( Especially in the context of someone's "bloodline" ... )

[indolentaxe]

It's like... a magical blessing thing from the gods? It runs in certain noble family bloodlines, and having a Crest is really, really valued. Trying to marry into a family with a Crest in its bloodline is a goal for some people, and some families will disown heirs without one in favor of younger siblings with one. It's... messy.

[She sighs.]

I have the Minor Crest of Goneril. My older brother doesn't have a Crest, but my family isn't insane so he's still the head of House Goneril. Which is good, because I want no part of the whole 'ruling a territory' thing.

[alcazarzaray]

( Kaveh widens his eyes. )

That does sound messy. We receive magical blessings from the Gods as well, back where I'm from. This blessing appears in the form of a Vision. ( Kaveh rotates his hip and shows her the green glass orb attached to his golden thigh garter. Not everyone with a Vision has a golden thigh garter. Kaveh is just extra. ) Although they can't be passed down genetically ... I hate to think what my world would be like if they could. The thought certainly makes me shudder.

( The comment about her family not being insane earns him a laugh. )

I am glad to hear that your family doesn't bend to society's demands. That's very noble of them, since I feel very strongly about equality within status among citizens.

[indolentaxe]

We're not perfect, mind you. But overall I like to think we're a pretty good family.

[She looks at the Vision that's attached to the golden thigh garter, the latter of which she appreciates because it's extra.] You're not the first person to tell me that Visions are blessing from the gods of your world. He didn't seem to think much of them, though.

[alcazarzaray]

( There's a pang of pain he feels in his heart and a glimmer of sadness in his eyes. Family ... the one thing he lacks and wishes he had. Even still, he's glad Hilda can experience such a precious joy. )

There's nothing like family. Flaws and all.

( He quirks his eyebrows with interest at the Vision prompt, though. (He's also trying to resist traumadumping.) )

You've met another person from Teyvat? I wonder if I know them.

I couldn't resist

[indolentaxe]

He had a big hat. I didn't get his name, so I'll just call him Hat Guy. He's over there.

[She points Hat Guy out in the crowd.]
