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? 🍎🍊🍌🍐🫐🍑

[Oh you sweet summer child.]

Well, I did say I haven't done it. Sounds like you haven't, either.

Your turn, Itto.

[battlebugs]

[This game is going to leave him with a lot to think about, it seems like. For now, he furrows his brow as he tries to think of something to offer up in turn.]

Alright, let's see... never have I ever thrown a fight!

[He sounds pretty proud of that one!]

[indolentaxe]

[Hilda drinks to that.]

Sometimes it's not worth the effort. I'm not like you in that way.

[battlebugs]

Man, really? I can't imagine being satisfied unless I know I've given it my all!

[They're VERY different people.]

[indolentaxe]

I'd rather not let people know what "my all" is. Otherwise they'll start expecting things from me.

[battlebugs]

Look, people start expecting things from you, just put your foot down! Tell them that's not your style. That's what I say anytime someone tells me to get a real job.

[PFFFFT.]

[indolentaxe]

[Hilda blinks at him a few times, then bursts out into genuine laughter.]

You know what? You're right. No one bosses a delicate flower like me around.

[battlebugs]

You're damn right! Nobody can make you do anything you don't want to— that's the delinquent way! You're one of us!

[Whether she likes it or not, apparently.]

[indolentaxe]

[Hilda laughs again, leaning into him affectionately. Which she would probably have done even without all the drinking--but the drinking helps.]

My brother would be so proud.

[He WOULD NOT.]

You said you have a gang back home, right? Are you starting one here?

[battlebugs]

[He slings an arm easily around her shoulders, even if he has to kind of bend himself at an angle to do it. It's fine!]

Y'know, I haven't decided! I've had a few people ask me about it, but it's not like I can just replace my boys from back home. Maybe a new branch? Guess there's always room to grow!

[There are a few people here he thinks would make pretty good gang members!]

Think you got what it takes?

[indolentaxe]

[You're too tall, Itto! And she's too short.]

I'd never dream of replacing your boys back home! We can be an auxiliary branch of the gang.

[She wraps an arm around his waist.]

I think I can hold my own. I've been through some stuff--being in a gang will be a piece of cake!

[battlebugs]

The most important thing is always having the backs of your fellow gang members!

[He's pretty sure she can do that.]

And committing to our one day work week policy, of course.

[indolentaxe]

I happen to make a great second in command, I'll have you know. I'll have your back when it counts.

[Despite what she usually pretends, she's pretty ride-or-die--and the drunkenness of the moment makes it so she doesn't even bother hiding it. It's not like the stakes here are life or death--of course she'll have his back.]

The one day work week policy is the best part, are you kidding?

[battlebugs]

My second-in-command back home would be glad to know I'm in good hands!

[He doesn't even think about how else that might be interpreted, just laughs openly as the alcohol encourages him to be even more loose-lipped than he already is.]

One day work week, three day weekends on both ends— sound like something you can handle? Course, you gotta know how to party, too, but I already know you can drink!

[indolentaxe]

What's this second in command back home like?

[Hilda will be kind enough not to point out that a three day weekend on both ends effectively means six day weekends. He hasn't thought about it, and she's not about to bust his bubble.]

Of course I can party! I'm partying with you right now, aren't I?

[battlebugs]

Guess you are!

[He laughs again, slapping a hand against her back as he helps himself to more of his drink— he's not even playing the game anymore at this point, just enjoying himself among excellent company.]

Anyway, she's a real badass. Does a great job helpin' me look after the boys! Bet you two would get along great, y'both know how to have a good time— although she probably works a little harder than the rest of us.

[It's fine. That's not a high bar, honestly.]

[indolentaxe]

[Hilda and Kuki would definitely get along, given that they're both clever and have an abundance of common sense. Sure, Kuki is significantly more motivated that Hilda is, but it's not like she'd expect Hilda to tag along for the multitude of certifications.

Alas, it's all hypothetical. Hilda gives an oof when Itto slaps her back but otherwise just laughs and takes a drink of her own. They're just hanging out and having drinks at this point.]

I'd love to meet her, if I ever get the chance. And in the meantime, I'll keep an eye on you on her behalf.

[She's teasing. Mostly.]

[battlebugs]

Who knows, maybe she'll show up! Though I guess she's pretty busy looking after the boys without me there to take care of 'em— or, you know, however that works.

[Technically they're all new versions of themselves here, right? So it's not like the gang is missing him, buuut... he doesn't want to think too much about that, since he definitely misses them.

Either way, he shrugs it off, slinging an arm around her shoulders.]

You know, I can take care of myself— wouldn't be much of a boss if I couldn't— but good to know there's someone I can count on!

[indolentaxe]

Hey, every boss needs a hot girl second in command. It's the rules.

[It really isn't, Hilda. Besides, she's the only "hot girl" retainer in FE:3H, so that's not even true for her own canon.

She wraps an arm around his waist as he slings his over her shoulders.]

I can even do logistics. Which are the worst, by the way, but I'm good at them!

[battlebugs]

Hell yeah! That's great, don't have anyone doin' that kind of thing for me right now.

[Does he know what logistics are, really? You bet not!]

You got a point, though... if that's in the rules, sure ain't a rule I wanna be breakin'. Although... as a delinquent, breakin' rules is kind of my job!

[indolentaxe]

[Of course he doesn't. That's why he needs her.]

I think you can make an exception and follow the rules just this once.

[battlebugs]

Alright— but don't let word get around, okay? I've got my rep to look after!

[You know, as a badass.]

[indolentaxe]

[Hilda laughs, bright and fond.]

Your secret is safe with me, boss.
