Never Have I Ever Meme



- Everyone is at a big party. I don't know how we fit this many people into one room either, but bear with me!
- Post an IC or anon comment with a subject that finishes the sentence "never have I ever".
- If you see something your character has done, reply with them taking a shot! If they've done it many times, have them take many shots or down an entire bottle. Shots do not need to be alcohol, especially not for underage characters.
- All characters must be honest. It's more fun that way.
- Bother other people. Demand details. Don't wreck the house, please.
- Example of how it works!

I'm not giving them the time of day.

[ A pause. ]

It sounds reprehensible.

[tesselate]

You are so far in the closet.

[ropedin]

No. I'm not.

[ Firmly. Remember? There's nothing!! ]

[tesselate]

[whatever billy is just going to keep talking]

I know it's not easy. I'm lucky enough to be living in New York and with things the way they are now, it'd definitely a lot easier than people had it in the past, but even then, I used to get the shit beaten out of me all the time at school. That didn't make those people right.

[ropedin]

I wouldn't have that problem if it were the case.

[ Just. Look at him, Billy. Does he look like the kind of guy that would get the shit beat out of him? Either way, he makes a soft noise of disgust. He doesn't want to talk about it!! ]

[tesselate]

No, I know you wouldn't.

[too bad.]

[ropedin]

[ If anything, he was the one doing the punching, but we won't get into that. ]

Then what suggests to you that if I were, I would need to hide it?

[tesselate]

Well for one you tried to hide the fact you totally, definitely took that shot. And you've been spending this entire time acting like it's something bad.

[ropedin]

It is.

[ It doesn't make it any less enjoyable, but it's just a sin, and who isn't a sinner? ]

[tesselate]

It's not.

[ropedin]

[ This is why he hates the modern world. ]

So you say. I fail to see the evidence otherwise.

[tesselate]

Because it's in your DNA - it's not just some choice you make, like oh maybe I'll have ice cream for dessert and after that maybe I'll sleep with a guy.

I love my boyfriend, I can't even imagine having it any other way.

[ropedin]

[ Oh. That word. He's glad he has a hood to keep his face hidden, although his eyes look somewhat unfathomable. Like there's something there.

But he says nothing on that. ]

That is nonsense. I never said it was a choice.

[ The implication hangs in the air. ]

[tesselate]

You're acting like it is.

Why would it be wrong to love someone?

[ropedin]

There are things that cannot be controlled that should be dealt with anyway. They are not necessarily always a good thing, and shouldn't be treated as such.

[ Adamant about that one. ]

[tesselate]

Except that this is a good thing. I'm happy, Teddy's happy. No one is being hurt. End of story.

[ropedin]

Except for where society's crumbling all around you. You shouldn't be so forward about such things.

[tesselate]

You say that like being open is leading to criminal behavior. There's no correlation.

[ropedin]

It's not appropriate.

[ It's like it's subversive!! or something. ]

[tesselate]

Because....?

[ropedin]

It's fact.

Is there a point to this?

[tesselate]

It's not.

The point is that what you're saying isn't fair to yourself, it isn't fair to me, and it isn't fair to anyone else who could be in the closet and is afraid to come out - and you don't even really have a reason for saying those things.

[ropedin]

It isn't supposed to be fair.

There are parts of society that are better than others. Once that's accepted, perhaps things could improve properly.

[tesselate]

"Better"?! How? Prove it.

[ropedin]

The fact that you don't recognize that is the problem with this place.
