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.

That sounds fascinatingly convoluted. If you tell me about it before you get your shirt off I might even be able to follow it.

Does a virtual replication of the past ocean count?

One question at a time, lady!

[He shakes his head, trying to sort out how to answer all that.]

Don't think it's about my perception, but I never tested it. Seems anything lower than room temp does it. Anything as warm as bath water or hotter will change me back.

No idea what happens to my extra mass, it's magic, so maybe it just literally disappears?

No, I can't choose to do it. Which is why I still consider it a curse, even though I consider both bodies as mine now.

... Nah. I doubt it. After all, you don't look like you've ever gone above Layer 1.

[personal profile] virtualsystem 2024-05-24 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
Fascinating.

[sorry, Science Mode has been engaged.]

Does it have to be liquid water? What about steam? Ice? How much of your surface area has to be wet before it triggers? Come on, hurry up!
preventedmurder: (saturday night is looking great)

Hannah I apologize for any shared cringe I may be dragging back up here.

[personal profile] preventedmurder 2024-05-24 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, are we just throwing out jargon now? Because I can definitely tell you don't know about how Aura lets me use my Semblance to tap into the script of universal causality or activate Dust to convert potential energy into a Grimm flying across the floor at half the speed of sound.
curse_of_girl: (Thinking)

[personal profile] curse_of_girl 2024-05-24 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Fuck, he's got a curious one. Well, now that's she asking, he's kinda curious about one of those questions.]

Yeah, it has to be liquid water.

I don't actually know what the minimum is. Wanna test that with me later, since you seem to have a steady supply of water?
virtualsystem: (41)

[personal profile] virtualsystem 2024-05-24 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Gladly. I'll be sure to study this "curse" of yours thoroughly. An interesting routine like this needs to be documented.
preventedmurder: (serious)

[personal profile] preventedmurder 2024-05-24 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
The water works even if you take it elsewhere, huh...

[She thinks on this.]

I almost want to ask for a sample, but I'm trying to decide whether anyone I know who wants a girl's body would want a specific girl's body.

[She'll have to squeeze her face past FDS's tits to not be looking up from under them.]

There's no rule that I have to offer you a forfeit at all, you know.

[Oh, AIOS has catastrophically misunderstood what kind of priestess Sunrise is.]

A god? No wonder you're so insufferably full of yourself. Someone should put you in your place before you go bullying mortals with that shitty attitude.

[She closes in, pinning AIOS against the wall and in the process squishing their ample chests together.]

It's not "jargon", it's just what it's called. You're making up words, but Layer 1 just what you call "the physical world".

What? That's definitely part of the rules in my database-

[... She's starting to realize she's made some errors in her judgment.]

Haah? Priests are supposed to serve gods!

[personal profile] curse_of_girl 2024-05-24 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
As long as you don't mess around with the temperature extremes anymore. I'm still a human, so that'd be a shock to my fleshy body here.
hatefuldays: (It's just...)

[personal profile] hatefuldays 2024-05-24 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
It's wrong because if I'm not the same person as Hyun-ae, then... her life is just too sad. She suffered so much, then she just died, and that's it? No, I refuse!
hatefuldays: (Well that sure happened)

[personal profile] hatefuldays 2024-05-24 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, what does that mean? The body of... what? Is this an Earth thing I don't know about?

[After years of having the most binary possible gender binary hammered into her, this is gonna be a difficult concept for her to wrap her head around.]
handsonapproach: (over the shoulder)

[personal profile] handsonapproach 2024-05-24 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Granted.

[She leans down - at 193cm, Sunrise towers over a compact boy like Ranma - and parts her lips, pulling him closer.]

That's the story of most humans. There's no cosmic 'justice'. They appear, suffer, and then are gone. That's how it works in their ridiculous world. You know of that one, but there's probably millions just like her.

Humans are statistics. There's too many, there's no such thing as a 'unique' one. You don't have to be beholden to something like that.

Good luck getting to the place to get some. It's in the middle of some jungle in China.

Before I got comfortable, and considered this body mine just as much as the guy one, I tried to find a "cure" plenty of times.

It's not exact, since I know another person that fell into that spring, and they look different, but their build will probably be kinda similar to mine if they fell in.
hatefuldays: (And I'm glad she's dead)

[personal profile] hatefuldays 2024-05-24 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
You're a real asshole, aren't you?
preventedmurder: (i'm watching you)

[personal profile] preventedmurder 2024-05-24 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, all of those words are respected technical terms where I come from. Except the script bit, I did just make up a name for that because I don't know what to call it anymore.

And I do mostly live in the physical world, but I don't think we're in it now, and I've definitely been out of it before. I don't know what to call where I went, but I can definitely see how someone who's purely "information" could live there, in theory.
virtualsystem: (41)

[personal profile] virtualsystem 2024-05-24 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, but we're going to have to.

There's so many things we're going to have to experiment with, after all!
curse_of_girl: (Switch)

[personal profile] curse_of_girl 2024-05-24 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Kinda? Could be specific to my world.

It's... probably easier to just show you.

... Oh?

[Now she's looking at Anand with more curiosity.]

You made it to a higher Layer, after all? A place of more dimensions?
curse_of_girl: (Annoyed)

[personal profile] curse_of_girl 2024-05-24 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I only agreed to test out this surface area thing. I didn't agree to be your guinea pig.
virtualsystem: (62)

[personal profile] virtualsystem 2024-05-24 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
... Listen.

[yes, but she's actually TRYING to be nice here.]

I don't know how long you've been alive, but I've been doing my best as an AI for a long time now. And I can tell you- If you try to be a 'human', then humans will never respect you or your identity. They'll use that excuse of 'you're a copy of a human' to pretend you aren't real and force you to do whatever they want, or just erase you.
