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.)
Use the code below to participate!
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 (๐) emoji, but what's stopping you from changing it to the fruit that you grow on your trees instead? ๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐

He whips his head to the side at that. Fair. SWIG. ]
Never have I ever had to walk my dog in the morning.
no subject
[Takes the shot. Gladly.]
no subject
[ ... ]
I'd walk my bear in the morning, though.
no subject
...
May it may not be jealous, too—]
You have a bear? Why?
no subject
He laughs. ]
Why not? He's my buddy, and I love him.
[ He glances over his shoulder like he might be there butโah, right. He's not here. ]
no subject
[Pausing on the game, the whole bear thing is interesting.]
no subject
[ Hector seems to relax a little bit, his expression shifting into something more natural. ]
Found him out on an excursion with my dad and some others when I was a kid. We got really attached and he's been by my side ever since.
[ He thinks for a moment... Man, the shit that bear has seen. ]
My parents weren't going to let me keep him, but they ultimately decided it was better than me stealing the neighbors' cats.
no subject
A bittersweet, nostalgic feeling washes over him as he listens, and he idly turns the glass in his hands.]
...Glad you were able to convince them. It's not a very usual animal to choose, but a formidable one once friended.
Is he here in this world?
no subject
No, sadly. I wish he was here with me, but I think he's seen enough.
[ He'll probably ask for him back anyway. Especially if it's just a...dream world type thing.
His smile widens as he looks back up at Eustace. ]
Will you tell me about your dog now?
no subject
[A fond smile as he thinks about the doberman.]
He found me.
[A light chuckle as he recounts that day.]
Truth is... I love dogs. Raised a wolf cub once when I was a kid. [There's that flicker of bittersweet nostalgia before he continues.] But they were always afraid of me... Intimidated, probably. Over the past couple of years, with some help I managed to get close to them again, but most are still wary.
But with Valo... We happened to see a dog competition and we're just watching when he appeared at my side. We learned afterward from his trainer that he used to live with an elderly couple until they passed... And I was the first one he willingly approached.
I didn't think I was a good fit with my job and fear of him becoming afraid, but he refused to leave me. He even helped rescue a dog when a monster attacked.
That's why I named him Valo.
[For "valor."]
no subject
A soft smile crosses his face, reminded of his own daughter. ]
You know it's going to be a special bond when they pick you. [ He speaks from experience. He gives the tiniest sigh. ] You're lucky. That's rare.
no subject
[A swirl of his glass as for a moment as he appears more like his usual self before there's that...not so usual soft smile appears and he looks back up at Hector.]
So you really are around animals a lot.
no subject
[ Maybe he should be scared at the sight of a wolf pack, but eh. ]
It's one thing to take in a lot of animals and care for them. But earning their trust enough that they'd willingly fight alongside you all the way into the depths of the Underworld and back is a different thing entirely. The latter's the reason why I'm a ranger.
[ He takes a sip of his drink, thinking of all the other creatures he has. He has so many! ]
Does Valo fight with you?
no subject
No, I don't take him out on missions with me. I wouldn't want him to get hurt.
[Again that bitter look.]
Already lost one trying to save me...
no subject
I'm sorry. [ There's genuine sympathetic pain in Hector's eyes. It's all technical, but...he does know how that feels. In a sense. ]
That's not something I'd wish on anyone.
[ except balthazar lmfao fuck that guy ๐ ]
no subject
[And where's the bottle.
JUST GONNA DRINK IT STRAIGHT if only there was more left in it.]
no subject
You're a good guy, Ru.
no subject
You're pretty great, too.
[Whoever he is. Not even realizing he still doesn't know the guy's name—]
no subject
[ They don't have to know each other's names... It's fine. ]
