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? 🍎🍊🍌🍐🫐🍑

Just because I'm inexperienced doesn't mean I'm not romantic.
circuitice: (Hi.)

[personal profile] circuitice 2023-05-08 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no, if anything, I assumed it increased the potential that you were.
outride: (🏹 072)

[personal profile] outride 2023-05-08 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, no? It's just ...

I'm the only Outrider in my Grandfather's platoon. It's a lot of hard work. It's my whole entire life. Even though I do want to know how it feels to be held and loved and kissed by another, I haven't had the time. ( Sigh! Yuck. Admitting all this makes her take another drink. ) Who knows what this place will have in store for me, since I can't exactly be an Outrider here.
circuitice: (Do you want a jellybean?)

That's not what I meant.

[ he gets a little melancholy, and doesn't quite look at her, looking instead above her head at a window, as he hums in thought. ]

It's easy to be a believer in all the tales of romance, when it's a complete unknown. After all, no one wants to believe that their lives will be full of heartbreak.

But with knowledge, comes cynicism and fear. The exact opposite of what's necessary to be a romantic at heart.

( Oh ... )

I don't know what you've been through, Kaeya, but I can understand why you might feel the way you do. I know what heartbreak feels like in some forms. I don't lose myself to fantasies, but ... maybe I just hope things will be okay one day. That I'll actually have company, and ...

( Mm. )

Maybe ... I'm a lot more lonely than I originally thought.
circuitice: (Won the title of history master.)

[personal profile] circuitice 2023-05-08 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahaha-- don't take what I said so seriously!

I'd hate to be that kind of a corrupting influence on our young Outrider.

And at any rate, like you said, there's plenty of opportunity now.
outride: (🏹 005)

[personal profile] outride 2023-05-08 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Kaeya ... you can laugh this off as much as you want, but like I said, you can't stop me from caring about you.

( Honestly. )

All that can come later. My friends mean just as much to me as any lover I potentially have in the future.
circuitice: (Hi.)

[personal profile] circuitice 2023-05-08 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I would never doubt the sincerity of your feelings, if that is what you're getting at. After all, I watched you save that young girl's life.

[ the melancholy part of him is tucked firmly away now ]
outride: (🏹 136)

[personal profile] outride 2023-05-09 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Oh, yeah ...

That's right. You did. ( Little Collei. ) I would've done anything to help her.
circuitice: (How very cute.)

[personal profile] circuitice 2023-05-09 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I know.

It wasn't exactly easy to help her situation after all. And I would wager most people wouldn't have even known where to start.
outride: (🏹 315)

[personal profile] outride 2023-05-10 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
... Yeah.

( She softens her voice, and lowers her head. )

She, um ... she was here. But she left.
circuitice: (And nothing else matters.)

[personal profile] circuitice 2023-05-10 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
...

[ he reaches out to softly pat her head. ]

But you'll get to see her when we go home.
outride: (🏹 185)

[personal profile] outride 2023-05-10 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
...

( She nods. Amber is a little surprised by his gesture, but she appreciates the comfort. )

I just hope she's okay.
circuitice: (Creativity is overrated.)

[personal profile] circuitice 2023-05-10 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
She looked like she'd grown quite a bit. I'm sure she will be.
outride: (🏹 184)

[personal profile] outride 2023-05-10 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
( It may be due to her disclosure about how lonely she feels, but Amber can detect a unique kind of vulnerability tonight from her conversation with Kaeya. After receiving a pat on the head from him once already, she feels motivated for just a little bit more comfort than she normally allows herself. )

... Kaeya, ( She glances up at him. ) Could I get a hug?

( Aw. )

circuitice: (Slightly unexpected.)

1/2

[personal profile] circuitice 2023-05-10 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ the request visibly surprises him for a moment. hugs aren't typically a thing he doles out, except maybe to Klee? And even then, she doesn't really need them.

but, he can tell the request is sincere.

he's just surprised she would ask him of all people. ]
circuitice: (Me? I am but a humble knight.)

[personal profile] circuitice 2023-05-10 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Of course.

[ and he shifts just slightly, to wrap an arm around her shoulder and pull her into him for a brief hug ]
outride: (🏹 104)

[personal profile] outride 2023-05-10 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
( She absolutely could've asked anyone else - but does she want to hug anyone else? Not in this moment. Kaeya means more to Amber than he will allow himself to believe, and not only this, he's one of few people who truly understands just how much Collei means to her. And lastly, he's a reminder of home.

The Outrider feels an immediate wave of comfort wash over her when Kaeya's arm circles around her smaller frame. For how reluctant he is with being vulnerable, this act feels like a privilege. She's trying to resist the urge to cry, though it is quite tempting.
)

... Thanks, Kaeya.
circuitice: (Alcohol jokes.)

[personal profile] circuitice 2023-05-10 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
There's no shame in seeking comfort.

[ he says easily, still unsure of how they got to this point where he was the one she asked. But, he understood. Maybe not the full extent, but it was hard to lose someone important to you. ]

Better now?
outride: (🏹 172)

[personal profile] outride 2023-05-10 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Mhm.

( She nods, and he'll be able to feel the movement of her head against his chest as she does. Amber withdraws herself once it feels natural enough, even though she felt like she could hug him just that little bit longer. But she does thumb away a little tear from the corner of her eye. )

Thanks, Kaeya. Really.
circuitice: (Do you want a jellybean?)

[personal profile] circuitice 2023-05-10 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
No need to mention it. I would never leave you in your hour of need.

[ he says in response, readjusting to provide her the space. As though the hug hadn't happened-- even though it very clearly did.

But, still.

He was a little flattered she would choose him. ]
