[event/open] NEVER HAVE I EVER

Who? Anyone who wants in
When? 8pmish during the event
Where? On the beach
What? Just a nice little icebreaker game to get to know everyone. :)


It takes a bit of work and a few rides on the tender, but there’s a neat little structure set up around where the tender has been letting passengers off.

There’s a makeshift bar out of some coolers from the sundries store and some chairs somehow dragged onto the tender, wrapped in paper to hide that it’s a bar made out of coolers and chairs.

Just that was a pain to set up, however, so the crowd seating is made up of beach towels and driftwood logs dragged down from further up the beach.

Most prominent is the makeshift banner set up behind the bar, a trail of paper taped up between two hockey sticks jammed into the sand. In big block letters (that are only slightly cramped near the end) is written the theme of this little get-together:

ICEBREAKER


8PM - “NEVER HAVE I EVER”


The makeshift bar is crowded with glasses with drinks already poured. Who did that and when? Uh... Someone in a Hawaiian shirt, right?

Right, anyway. There’s April taping another piece of paper to the sticks of the banner, and when there’s enough people around, whether or not they’re actually here for the game, the rules are loudly announced for all in earshot:

  1. One person states something they have never done, in the form of: “Never have I ever...”

  2. If you HAVE done that thing, you take a drink

  3. Elaborate if you want

  4. Repeat with the next person


Simple enough, right?

Honesty is not magically enforced, so it’s entirely up to your character if they choose to drink or not, or explain why or why not they’re drinking. Have fun! Learn about your fellow passengers!

[RULES FOR US, THE PLAYERS:
- Top levels are for your character making their ‘never have I ever’ statement
- Top levels are then replied to with your character drinking or not drinking, whatever you feel is notable
- From there, have people react/ask further questions/etc to those replies, thread as normal.

Every character gets ONE ‘never have I ever’ top post unless the response to this post is abysmal.]

One, I'd never abandon my people. And two, the only way out is to cross the bridge and go through Piltover. And people like me aren't allowed up there. You'll just get caught and be sent to Stillwater prison, maybe.

(thinking back on all of this twists her tone more somber -- staring down at her glass but looking through it more than at it.)

— Or they'll sent the Enforcers down to "speak" with us and give us a "reminder" how things are meant to work.

[Ah. Well, that changes things. Their circumstances are very different, but Natsuno can understand the rage of being trapped. He would never claim to have a noble cause, never cared for more than a handful of people, but if he was treated like and not even allowed to escape...

He leans against a log.]


I'd want to burn them all, too.

[The same way he helped lighting the spark that destroyed Sotoba and slaughtered all the shiki. They trapped him, tried to make choices for him - so they all had to die.]

(that gets a grin out of her and even a small chuckle. it's good to know someone gets her point of view to some degree. sure, there may be others on the boat with the same line of thinking. but the ones she came across were all about the opposite. to not be forceful or go to the extreme.)

Hey. Y'think after the... "you-know-what" we can have normal chats like this? Be wild, huh?

We're not gonna be friends, you know.

But we can be civil.

[Well. As much as they're capable of.]

[Deep breaths Natsuno, you're on vacation today, don't set her off when you're this close to get her off your back - ]

It's stupid. We already wrote it down.

C'mooooonn, don't be such a spoilsport! I'm gonna miss our lil' spat. I won't be able to mess with ya like this again. You're not gonna miss me at all?

(because she will definitely miss him and terrorizing him.)

I told you before, I never wanted a spat. So don't back out if I say "no."

I'm not. I just wanted our last moment together extra special.
