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 (🍓) emoji, but what's stopping you from changing it to the fruit that you grow on your trees instead? 🍎🍊🍌🍐🫐🍑
Welcome to Fable's fourth network social! Please read this before participating!
This social post is closed to Fable members!
We alternate between keeping our socials public and private, and this month's one is private!
Lastly, while we love IC banter, please remember to be civil and familiarise yourself with the game rules. Have fun!

It's taken me some time to adjust. Normally I wouldn't even be at these kinds of gatherings, but it's been fun.
[A night of fun he's going to have a lot of regrets over and probably hermit for a while BUT HE'S GETTING OUT THERE!!]
no subject
[ Obviously, she has no idea how out of character this is for Eustace in particular, but she smiles and leans on her elbow, just a bit closer. ]
I understand wanting a little peace and quiet, too, of course.
no subject
Hmmmm, just felt in the mood for it.
You?
no subject
[ Then after a beat, because the alcohol is really kicking in or else she would never ask this. ... Probably never. ]
I know this is forward, but... may I touch your ears?
no subject
Sure, go ahead.
[And lowering his head towards her so she can easily reach them. They'll feel soft and velvety, as if she's petting real wolf ears.]
no subject
After a few moments, she decides that's enough. Wouldn't do to overstep, so she withdraws her hands. ]
That was delightful. Thank you.
no subject
Ah... Yes... So nice...
If he had a tail it would be wagging. Which would also mortify him once this is over so probably a good thing he doesn't.]
Mm... No problem.
[Just going to lift his head almost sleepily, and give her a contented smile.]
It felt nice, thanks.
no subject
[ Is Dorothea actually a bit smitten right now?
Yes. Yes, she is. Her face is flushing a soft shade of rosy pink all across her cheeks and the bridge of her nose.
She's also drunk, so she leans forward to present her own ears. They're, you know, dainty human ears, adorned with a pair of gold earrings that sparkle with green gems. ]
It's only fair.
no subject
So while normally he would refuse, he'll just reach out without a second thought to first poke her ear and then kind of. Rub it a little. Not too hard, but it's a firm hand.
Whoa.......]
It's.....rubbery.
[Yes that is exactly what a man should say about a woman's ear—]
no subject
Is--is that bad??
no subject
[Continuing to stare and feel with extreme fascination, like this was the coolest shit in the world.]
...Earrings are nice.
[And then a weird thought occurs to him but he just keeps that to himself.]
no subject
[ Then he mentions her earrings and she grins, blushing more. ]
You think so? This is my favorite pair. The green stone really complements my eyes, don't you think?
no subject
There is some intense staring as he looks at her eyes. Then her earrings. Back to the eyes. And then the earrings.
And then—]
What would look good with red?
[He just blurts that right out without a second thought.]
no subject
[ Ahh, that's disappointing, but she understands. ]
Do you need a gift for a special someone?
no subject
...
OH.
Hold on, he's suddenly going to turn scarlet as he sits back, waving his hand as if trying to dismiss it all while the other covers his face. Aahh AAHHHHH]
No, no—that's—just—
[Just going to be unusually flustered about this.]
no subject
Ohh, I see. A gift for someone that you'd like to be your special someone, but she just isn't yet.
no subject
It wasn't—
[Mfdhdhhdjsjjs
He somehow managed to avoid this all night and yet he did this to himself.]
She's just... A friend.
[Even his ears are burning.
Wow he is so going to hate himself in the morning—well he was going to already now he really will.]
no subject
[ She sets her chin on the heel of her palm, looking at Eustace with a knowing smile. ]
Is she... your first love? She must be. Oh, that's so sweet.
no subject
It's not that, I swear...!
[Groaning.
He's pretty sure, anyway.]
It just...reminded me...
[How many drinks did he have, fuck—]
no subject
Sitting here, talking to me, and another woman is the one on your mind?
[ Tsk tsk. ]
You've got it pretty bad, I'd say. She must be extraordinary.
no subject
There's no recovery from this.
Should he just run—
Oh how the mighty has fallen.]
She is—but not like that.
[He thinks?? Maybe??? His brain is too overfried right now to think straight.]
But you're right, I'm sorry...
no subject
So you haven't told her how you feel? Or does she suspect? You shouldn't wait too long, you know--life is uncertain. And without some encouragement from you, she might turn to someone else eventually. Don't miss your chance.
no subject
As nice and considerate as the advice she's trying to give him is, it only makes him internally scream when he considers everything surrounding, well, everything.
Does he dare talk about it?
SHOULD HE?????
Were he in his right mind no. Then again, he wouldn't even be here were he in his right mind so there's that.]
The situation... It's complicated.
[But...maybe talking about it would be helpful?? Even if he should, you know, probably ask first, but he's now crossing his arms over the table, head buried in them. This is so not like himself.]
I've always respected her, but I never looked at her—or anyone—beyond that. And this is all because of those damn drinks from the masquerade.......
[As if reminded, he is suddenly shoving his glass across the table. Might have tipped it over, but it's already empty.]
