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, come on! Really, Kaeya? That's still on target!

( Nevertheless, she laughs and takes a drink. )

Here's a vague one for you, then. Never have I ever slacked off while on duty in the Knights.

[circuitice]

[ he mulls that one over-- actually has to think about it. normally, he would drink openly, because he does love that appearance.

but he knows it isn't true. ]

Ahh, that is a targeted one, isn't it? I-- don't think it entirely fits me, though.

[outride]

( Amber shakes her head. )

Not targeted at all! Kaeya, I know you're a dedicated Knight. But I wouldn't think less of you if you scampered off while on duty.

( She knows he's a tough shell to crack. This is all bonding! )

Go ahead and ask me another one, if you like. I can take it!

[circuitice]

I appreciate the thought. Though, I imagine Jean would say I'm being a terrible influence.

[ he would never, relaxing just leads to getting distracted with bad memories. And so. ]

Never have I ever... Missed one of Six-fingered Jose's stories.

[outride]

Heehee! She would, wouldn't she?

( But what she doesn't know won't hurt her. )

Ooh! Him! That bard is a great storyteller, but I probably miss out on a lot when I run around being an Outrider. ( She takes a drink and shudders. Whew! Strong. ) Okay. Never have I ever ... kissed someone of the same gender.

[circuitice]

Oh?

[ he seems genuinely surprised by that-- but obligingly takes a drink. ]

Amber, have you never kissed anyone?

[outride]

( She swallows, and then shakes her head. )

I have not.

[circuitice]

Because you've been too busy, or you're a romantic?

[ nosy, nosy, nosy ]

Since I can think of at least several people who would want to kiss you.

[outride]

Kaeya!

( Look at how red this bnuuy is! She's almost as red as her ribbon. )

I'm, uh ... flattered? I think-?! Yeah, I guess I spent too much time Outriding to be too focused on my love life ... but now you've got me all curious! Who!?

[circuitice]

I think I shouldn't be the one to out their desires, if they've flown over your head~

[ though, he rests his cheek in the palm of his hand ]

But honestly, it's not entirely surprising, either.

[outride]

Hey, you can't just say people would kiss me then not tell me who! That's cheating!

( It's, like, absolutely not cheating in the slightest, but she wants to know!!!!!!! )

What if I keep it a secret? Hm? Because I can tell you with confidence I've never had an inkling of a clue that anyone likes me in that way! ( Bless her heart, honestly. )

[circuitice]

Never have I ever failed to notice people's feelings for me.

[ he says in response, his voice sing-song and obviously teasing ]

[outride]

( YOU SUCK KAEYA!!!!!! )

Hmph-! ( She necks her shot. ) Never have I ever withheld information from Amber!

[circuitice]

[ HE TAKES A DRINK ]

My, my~ That's so mean! To target me this way, Miss Amber!

[outride]

Yeah! That's your own medicine!

Now ... please tell me!

[circuitice]

I'm very good at keeping others' secrets for them, I'm afraid. And some of them may be just as in denial as you're unaware.

It seems unfair to say.

[outride]

It's unfair to me! What if I remain kissless forever?! I promise I won't tell! Not ever!

[circuitice]

I'd kiss you if you were really that worried about it.

1/?

[outride]

2/?

[outride]

Wha-

3/?

[outride]

( KAEYA?????? )

4/done

[outride]

( AHEM. )

I ... um! ( BLUSH. ) Isn't your first kiss supposed to be special...? ( WOW WAY FOR HER TO IMPLY THAT HE'S NOT SPECIAL jk jk but amber has read one too many fairytales in her time ... )

[circuitice]

Ah, am I not special enough then?

[outride]

Of course you're special! ( whoa!! bet he wasn't expecting a genuine compliment here! soft!! ) It's not so much the person, but the context ... just kissing me because I've never been kissed is a little bit sad, you know? But kissing someone because you want to kiss them is a lot more special than that ... right?

[circuitice]

[ he waves off the compliment, or rather, doesn’t respond to it, beyond his smile softening a touch. ]

I think what makes it special is that it’s freely given and received.

But, in that case, wouldn’t it be more meaningful if it were to be with someone you’ve realized on your own that you cared enough to give it to, than if I told you who that person was?

You’ve still got quite a bit of time to worry about being un-kissable, if you want my honest opinion.
