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? 🍎🍊🍌🍐🫐🍑

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!

I don't owe you any measure of anything.

[ Least of all himself. He's immediately distrustful of anyone that takes a keen interest in him. Force of habit. ]

I'm simply not interested in things that waste my time.

What else do you have to do, now?

Relax, relax~ It's all fun and games after all.

[ He hates that he has a point... ]

Never have I ever worn an eyepatch.

[ And don't think he didn't notice your pupil, my guy. ]

[ he takes a drink at that one, since it's easy enough. And now that he's far enough along in his drinking, perhaps... he wants to pry a bit more. ]

Well, I feel targeted! But it seems you've taken my words to heart.

Never have I ever resisted a chance to get to know someone before.

[ Now who's targeting who? But it's wise to fight fire with fire, and he takes a drink. ]

Never? You should try it sometime. It's a privilege to keep up your boundaries when someone tries to intrude upon them, but I guess you wouldn't know about that...

You don't have to lower your boundaries.

Thinking you have to is a mistake. Could that, perhaps, be the reason you've never relaxed?

Oh, not at all. That I learned from experience alone.

[ He says with a cheerful smile. ]

I suppose that's not the sort of story you would be willing to share?

Not without a price. However, I get the impression that you have a pretty interesting story to tell yourself.

Me?

I suppose I have a few interesting one from my time in the Knights of Favonius, yes.

[ A Knight of Favonius, hm...well, he'll tuck away that piece of information for future reference as well. ]

Oh, I think you've got something far more interesting than that to share. After all, it's not every day we find ourselves in the presence of a Khaenri'ahn, is it?

[ Yeah, he's got your number, Kaeya. ]

... You're the only person I've seen besides myself to recognize us on sight.

Interesting... I wonder why?

Because I know others like you. I'm well-traveled, you could say.

Do tell.

I never thought I'd be so curious about someone who could recognize my heritage. Fascinating.

[ A thoughtful pause. ]

First, answer a question for me. As a Knight of Favonius, you are no doubt familiar with the Eleven Fatui Harbingers. Tell me...who holds the seat of the Sixth?

Hmm. Last I heard, there was no one in the position.

Why?

[ Hm. How very interesting...

In a seeming non sequitur: ]

I've met a number of Khaenri'ahns over the course of my life, but I've most frequently associated with a man known as Pierro. Perhaps you've heard of him?

[ Said with a smirk. ]

One of the Fatui Harbingers?

Yes. Isn't that a given, though?

What? That he's Khaenri'ahn, or that you know he is?

There are rumors about the fact that he was from an ancient civilization, but none that I had been able to confirm. Surely, for a country that has been gone for over 500 years, with its entire population wiped out, that I would assume it could be true.

[ he explains patiently ]

My knowledge of Khaenri'ah is actually quite limited, as I grew up in Mondstadt.

You're the first person I've met that's recognized my eyes.

[ that wasn't dain, at least. ]

[ Hm, how fascinating...so, this one isn't older than he looks - or, if he is, he's disguising it well, but anyone who was from Khaenri'ah at the time of the calamity would know The Jester as a court mage. ]

As you already have seen on my profile, I've been around for quite some time. Long enough to be quite familiar with an unmistakable characteristic like that one. I've even been to the Abyss itself and back.

[ A number of times, though this isn't really something to brag about. ]

Fascinating.

I wonder, what were you meant to be doing in the Abyss?

[ he's 21, for real, for real. ]

Why do most people enter that accursed place? I was training. Growing stronger. Gaining power.

[ that's an answer, sure, but it's vague enough that Kaeya doesn't believe that's it. ]

I didn't know the Fatui were that eager to take advantage of Abyssal power. It's not like they don't have enough power of their own.

I'm sure there's a lot you don't know about them.

[ "Them", not "us". ]
