Never ever have I ever felt so low

[dylinquent]

The "Never Have I Ever" Meme

Never Have I Ever, for those of you haven't heard of it, is a classic drinking game. Individuals take turns stating something they've never done, and everyone who has done it takes a drink. And then embarrassment and teasing and general fun is had by all.

HOW THIS WORKS
✔ Post a statement beginning with "never have I ever" that your character has never done!
✔ Post as many 'nevers' as you like!
✔ Other characters reply to whichever 'nevers' they like, drinking or not drinking as appropriate.
✔ Optional rule: If you drink, you have to explain the situation in which the 'never' occurred!
✔ Another optional rule: Forced honestly is okay, if you have a character that wouldn't talk/share anything.
✔ Threadjacking is encouraged! Particularly if it's to make fun of someone for their answer/drinking.
✔ HAVE FUN PEOPLE

Never have I ever had a one night stand.

[dedikated]

Long as you don't want me to drink for each.

( She does take a very long drink though. )

[fracturedbeauty]

Yes, I'd rather not know how many, thank you very much. [He almost instantly regrets that actually. He doesn't want to know how many people anyone's slept with.]

[dedikated]

( Well, you might find out.

Not from her. )

Not sure I could drink for all of them.

[fracturedbeauty]

You don't have to. [Please don't.]

[mismanagement]

[Maketh gives him a dubious look, then does a shot. Just the one, though.]

I'm not drinking for each.

[fracturedbeauty]

[Good God, people. Why do you sleep around so much? He's so regretting this statement and wants to retract it now.

And don't look at him that way, Maketh. Just because he's pretty doesn't mean he's a sex hound. Unlike you people apparently.]

One is fine.

[mismanagement]

[Blame PTSD and shitty coping mechanisms. Also bad decisions. And alcohol.]

You seem surprised.

[She drinks.]

[fracturedbeauty]

[Maybe that's because he is surprised.]

Only that you people seem to enjoy mating with someone you've never met before.

[Seriously, that can't be sanitary. Or pleasant. Or... Nope, he's going to stop that train of thought there.]

[mismanagement]

'Mating?'

[Maketh just raises an eyebrow.]

That's not the word I would have used. They were--distractions.

[fracturedbeauty]

[He glowers at Maketh in response.]

So you lack shame is what it is.

[mismanagement]

[Maketh just frowns at him, more confused than offended.]

That is a strange thing to say. Why?

[fracturedbeauty]

[His cheeks tint red at that question, although his glower doesn't fade.]

It's... obvious, one would think. It's something that should be shared between... Lovers, not strangers...

[He presses his lips into a thin line, looking rather as if he's bitten something bitter. Call him old fashioned as far as love versus lust goes.]

[mismanagement]

[Maketh is quiet for a moment.]

Love was an--an extravagance, in my world. Dangerous and costly.

I had someone, once. I thought it unwise afterwards.

[fracturedbeauty]

So you let lust take its place instead. [Yukari just shakes his head.

Yukari can identify somewhat with Maketh on this, if only a little. The last lover he had, before Curufin, the relationship was a very... poor experience, to put it nicely. And even with Curufin now, he has odd reactions to intimacy. But he still can't imagine himself spending the night with a stranger over it.]

[mismanagement]

If you wish to be crude about it.

[Maketh shakes her head.]

A stranger is less likely to betray you. Humans still need--contact. To function properly.

[fracturedbeauty]

Hmph. [As far as he's concerned, lust was the nice way of putting it.]

I certainly didn't. And I'm thirty years old, mind you. Perhaps you simply don't enjoy your line of work, if you have time to occupy yourself with strangers and worry about betrayals.

[mismanagement]

[Maketh snorts at that.]

I was an officer of the Imperial Court. Betrayal was inevitable.

[fracturedbeauty]

And I was second in command to two Kings. [Yukari smirks.] I have been betrayed and done the same to others. That's exactly what I'm saying, you take your line of work far too personally. If it was inevitable, you think you'd be less affected by it.

[mismanagement]

[Was he, then. Hmm. Maketh gives him an appraising look.]

An honest answer. But you mistake my meaning. A lover, as you call it, knows too much. Don't bother with them and your enemies cannot take advantage. They will strike regardless, but I see no need to make myself an easy target. Nor anyone I care for.

[She shrugs, deceptively casual.]

Thus I did not care for anyone.

[fracturedbeauty]

I suppose that could be one of many ways to handle it. But it still seems you're putting duty before what you truly want.

Or do substitutes truly make you happy?

[mismanagement]

Duty was everything, once.

[She shrugs.]

That was a different life.

[fracturedbeauty]

[A small, airy chuckle.]

Well, I certainly wouldn't be where I am if I put duty over my wants. Sure, it's fine to make small sacrifices. But if you're sacrificing yourself as part of it, then you're missing out on the true beauty of life.

[survivethis]

Guess I'll drink to that one.

[This one is a little embarrassing.]

[fracturedbeauty]

[Oh, good, a normal one who doesn't talk about how many she's had. Thank you.

Yukari gently raises his glass in mock cheer for that one.]
