Never Ever (open RP post)

This is some kind of place between places. A land where anyone can meet anyone else, and friendships can form between people who would never have reason to meet each other.

At the moment, it's the resting place for the Laughing Toadstool, the bar that Iren owns and runs. Don't think about it too hard.

The place is closed for business tonight, as a more private gathering is occurring. At Iren's urging, the furniture has arranged itself into a rough circle of seating. In the center of the seating area is a snack table covered with various bits of finger food which Iren, being the priestess of the god of hospitality, spent all day making herself. It's all delicious. There is also an open bar for those who want a drink, alcoholic or otherwise. The seats are an eclectic collection of couches and stools and chairs and cushions and blankets. The whole setup is really very cozy and intimate.

A chalkboard has been propped up along the edge of the seating area, on which the rules of the game have been written:

STRIP NEVER HAVE I EVER
1: Each of us take turns listing something we have never done with the phrasing "Never Have I Ever _____".
2: If someone lists something they have never done and you HAVE done it, you must take off an article of clothing.
3: Socks, shoes, earrings, and other items that come in pairs must be taken off in pairs. No taking off one sock at a time.
4: We keep playing until everyone is naked (or we get bored).
5: Don't feel limited to only taking one turn, if things feel like they're slowing down too much.
6: There are a few spare beds upstairs, should anyone need them, for whatever reason. =)


No one who is invited to this gathering is a stranger to everyone else (If nothing else, feel free to assume you have met Iren before.). No one was forced to come against their will. Everyone was aware that this would involve naked people. Everyone invited is an adult. Iren prides herself as a hostess, and has gone to great efforts to ensure that only people who are actually interested in such an event were invited.

IN SHORT: Let's learn a little thing or two about each other while getting sexy in here.

Huh, guess that'd do it, yeah. People weren't living regularly in space in my world. I think only some scientists would go up there.

That must have been a long time ago for me! It was the 25th century when I was born, and the 50th century when I finally came back.

...That part's a long story. I spent most of it in cryosleep.

[personal profile] curse_of_boy 2024-05-23 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, yeah, that makes sense.

[As far as a person having wings makes sense to Ranma. There were only certain birds, like ducks, that could swim.]

It still feels a little embarrassing to say even though I've gotten better about not seeing it as a bad thing, but if I get splashed with cold water, my body transforms into a girl's body.

I'm not as negative about it as I used to be, but I still call it a curse since I can't control it.
hatefuldays: (Gotta disagree with you on that point)

[This is *Hyun-ae taking her skirt off, leaving her with her underwear and thigh highs, but the mood's a little complicated.]

My marriage didn't get arranged until I was twelve, I guess.

[personal profile] curse_of_boy 2024-05-23 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Guess I can say, I have a curse that if I get splashed with cold water, I transform into a girl's body.

I'm not as down about it as I used to be, but I still call it a curse since I can't control it.
curse_of_boy: (Surprised)

[personal profile] curse_of_boy 2024-05-23 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
That, uh, doesn't actually mean anything. The South Pole in the world I come from is pretty cold.

[personal profile] curse_of_boy 2024-05-23 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[It still makes him flustered to have her check him out like that.]

Yeah, that sounds like an allergy to me. I don't know the mechanics behind it, but some people react badly to otherwise normal things. Bee stings are a pretty common one, I think.

For most people it just hurts, but for certain people it can be deadly.

[personal profile] preventedmurder 2024-05-23 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Hhhhuh. Interesting. That must have been pretty distressing. Or enlightening, I guess, I've never met anyone who just does that with magic.

...also, and this is my paranoia noticing all the pitchers of drinks around, but what's your pronoun situation if that happens? I don't want to accidentally pile anything on you.
curse_of_boy: (Monch)

[personal profile] curse_of_boy 2024-05-23 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. It is, I've been at a few shotgun weddings at this point too, but that seemed too specific even for this.

[Inching closer, she's letting him get as much of an eyeful as he likes.]

You have something in mind to cover me up?
curse_of_boy: (Blush)

[personal profile] curse_of_boy 2024-05-23 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ranma is looking. Maybe not respectfully, but he certainly respects those muscles she's got. The scar on her chest is also interesting, but he's not sure about asking that just yet.]

You can say that again. I'm just glad I don't have to deal with that while I'm here. So... you're a martial artist too, huh?
curse_of_boy: (Blush)

[personal profile] curse_of_boy 2024-05-23 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Not that I'm in the situation by choice.

[He's trying not to stare, but she is really pretty.]
curse_of_boy: (Monch)

[personal profile] curse_of_boy 2024-05-23 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I ain't in the upper tiers of society. I'm just a martial artist.

My dad is old-fashioned and an asshole. He promised me to one of his students of the same master. He also promised me to the father of a childhood friend of mine just to steal her family's food cart.

Didn't hear about any of this until I was a teenager.
curse_of_boy: (Blush)

[personal profile] curse_of_boy 2024-05-23 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I noticed

[In fact, he can't take his eyes off of her.]
curse_of_boy: (Monch)

[personal profile] curse_of_boy 2024-05-23 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry you had to deal with that at all. My dad arranged it when I was an infant, pretty annoying all around.
handsonapproach: (intrigued)

[personal profile] handsonapproach 2024-05-23 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? Perhaps your elemental poles are inverted? In Creation we have the Pole of Fire in the far South and the Pole of Wind in the North. Is your ocean to the West or the East?
curse_of_boy: (Surprised)

[personal profile] curse_of_boy 2024-05-23 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Enlightening, eventually. Though it was distressing for a while.

[He's still getting used to being asked questions like this.]

Stick with he and him even if I'm in the girl body. Obviously, won't bite your head off if you don't recognize me and get it wrong, though.
handsonapproach: (intrigued)

[personal profile] handsonapproach 2024-05-23 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds like some kind of First Age artifact. They must be incredibly rare.
hatefuldays: (Well that sure happened)

[personal profile] hatefuldays 2024-05-23 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you have to follow through with it? I was married to the emperor for 3 years, before... stuff happened, and I got away.

[ Let's leave it at that. ]
curse_of_boy: (Wat)

[personal profile] curse_of_boy 2024-05-23 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, yeah, that is the far future for me! I'm from the late 20th century.
immortal_smoke: (Dying's not the end of the world)

[personal profile] immortal_smoke 2024-05-23 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
You'd think so, wouldn't you? From what I hear, though, almost everyone has one these days.
preventedmurder: (serious)

[personal profile] preventedmurder 2024-05-23 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Got it. Do you look much different in a girl's body? I was guessing it'd be similar to yours but with curves, but I guess I don't know how the curse works.
curse_of_boy: (Wat)

[personal profile] curse_of_boy 2024-05-23 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[None of that made sense. He understood the literal words, but he was just surprised how different it was.]

I think things work a lot different. We don't have elemental poles like that. North and South Poles are just the two furthest points from each other, and there are multiple oceans. Most of the world is water, I'm pretty sure.

The warmest point is a line running horizontally along the center of the planet.
hatefuldays: (People are awesome)

[personal profile] hatefuldays 2024-05-23 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh wow! That would've been around when AI first started to develop, I think! Has that happened yet?

[ In her timeline, that was around the 1970s. ]
curse_of_boy: (Surprised)

[personal profile] curse_of_boy 2024-05-23 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I've avoided it so far. Had some close calls with shotgun weddings, though.

[He won't ask her to elaborate, considering that could've only ended a few different ways.]

Glad you managed to get away, I don't think anyone should be forced into marriage like that. It's pretty fucked up that they haven't gotten rid of that even in your time.
