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.

[AIOS is trying really hard here. She doesn't want to force her notions on *Hyun-ae, but she also doesn't want to let this other AI pigeonhole herself into a miserable role...]

... If you're sure, I guess.

[Her voice is full of doubt, but... Maybe this is a good thing. After all, it means AIOS is still fully unique after all. Right?]
2mao: (Explaining yet again)

You're not sounding very convincing there.
2mao: (distrust...)

[personal profile] 2mao 2024-05-24 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, so you're one of those. The type who chase after wealth and status.

[ Not that wealth and status, independently, are necessarily bad. But the kind who chase after it to the exclusion of all else tend to be.... not very nice people.

Not to mention it's a fool's errand. ]
2mao: (what did you say now)

[personal profile] 2mao 2024-05-24 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
I've never heard that statistic before, but it's several days out on horseback to reach the ocean from the Central Province, at the very least. Probably longer.

I'm what you would call an artificial intelligence, a virtual being born in the highest Layer, a realm where dimensions, space, and time have lost all meaning. In this place, for lack of a better term, all information humans have ever created flows, bringing a confluence, a nexus if you will, of all sum total data and information of every world humans have created through their digital network and simulations of all other universes. In that conflux, I was born, and so I freely travel through Layers and bring whatever I wish with me as I please.
2mao: (:v)

I suppose they wouldn't make them if they were truly that dangerous. It's hard to imagine how they would work, though.
hatefuldays: (Well that sure happened)

[personal profile] hatefuldays 2024-05-24 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
That's amazing... I wonder what I'd be like as a boy? No, I'd rather stay as a woman.

[Gears turning.]

...Wait, were you... When you asked if... you meant, with you?
preventedmurder: (tfw no shapeshifting gf)

The real answer is that she's a tabletop character and you can't take the Fly skill until level 11

[personal profile] preventedmurder 2024-05-24 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you could say that Verse isn't really built for it. Faunus - that is, people with animal features - are a minority there, and avian faunus are really rare. I think I've met one outside my direct family. So it's not exactly designed to fly around in, and I wasn't exactly keen on drawing attention to myself before I started at my school a couple years ago, so I just didn't learn the magic tricks I needed to get off the ground.

[She coughs, suddenly remembering her nudity aside from a pair of panties by this point.]

I'm uh...still getting used to putting myself out there generally. Call this party advanced training.

I don't know, I guess I've got some complicated childhood emotions that I just kind of forget about when I'm actually flying now. There's really nothing like it, is there?

[personal profile] curse_of_girl 2024-05-24 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, if you wanted to. I'm definitely not about to pressure somebody into that, but... I really suggested it for a lot of reasons.

You're pretty, I could do it, I think it sucks how you were treated and part of the reason I'm even here is for some freedom too.

So, I won't make it weird if you say no, but just know I'm not just suggesting it out of pity or something stupid like that. You're strong, even if you don't fight, you've got a strong spirit.
hatefuldays: (People are awesome)

[personal profile] hatefuldays 2024-05-24 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, oh! Have you ever ridden on horseback? That's one I'd love to try sometime, too.
preventedmurder: (saturday night is looking great)

[personal profile] preventedmurder 2024-05-24 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if you ever do decide to go mad with power, I'll feel a little bit better being oppressed by a program girl with a killer figure than some old guy, I guess.
hatefuldays: (Can you believe this)

[personal profile] hatefuldays 2024-05-24 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, no, I mean... geeze, I don't know how to react if you just offer point blank like that!

[She's gone bright red, though. Apparently her hardframe simulates that, too.]

But I mean, ah... yes...? Yes. If you really don't mind, I'd like that...

Damn right you will. I incorporated all the data on beauty standards to make this body, you know!
curse_of_girl: (Nervous)

[personal profile] curse_of_girl 2024-05-24 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I'm pretty nervous offering, but it seems right.

[Which is clear when she accepts.]

Alright, just tell me if I do something you don't like, or you decide you want to stop...

[He gently reaches out for her hand, and decides the best thing to do is head for one of the rooms Iren mentioned without making a fuss about it.]
preventedmurder: (saturday night is looking great)

[personal profile] preventedmurder 2024-05-24 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
I think you might have included the data on cup size twice. Not that I'm complaining.
virtualsystem: (3)

[personal profile] virtualsystem 2024-05-24 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
That one was personal taste. I liked the softer, curvier look, so I exaggerated it.
preventedmurder: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] preventedmurder 2024-05-24 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. I thought I lost all shame after living in a dorm but this is a little more than usual for me, too. I should take the team out to a public bath some time, though, now that you mention it...

...raised in a brothel, huh? Is there a story there, or...?

[ Too many people still have clothes, so it's time to fix that.

So enter a catgirl! Except this catgirl has a gnarly axe, is fairly well muscled, and has some nasty scars - most notably, one down her entire face. ]


Never have I ever... been able to go more than a couple months without having to kill a person, since I was old enough to.

[ It's a bit of a double negative, but she's pretty sure it's within the rules! As she learned them from Momo. Though Momo's version didn't have people taking off clothes... Well, whatever.

As for her own clothes; cape, shirt, chest bindings, pants, underwear, boots, socks, gloves, and axe. The axe counts. ]
preventedmurder: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] preventedmurder 2024-05-24 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, it's good taste besides being nice to look at.

Your body being a form of self-expression is...huh. That's kind of an ideal though, isn't it? Humans and such are all starting from a baseline of genes instead of just picking what we like.
preventedmurder: (what)

[personal profile] preventedmurder 2024-05-24 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'm getting the distinct impression that either medicine is a lot less advanced where you're from or service workers are a lot less educated.
virtualsystem: (3)

[personal profile] virtualsystem 2024-05-24 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I assumed biomod tech is why you looked like that.
2mao: (blah blah)

[personal profile] 2mao 2024-05-24 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't say "all," though you've made your point.

Death is usually something I try to prevent, as an apothecary, yes. At least, death before one's time comes of old age.
virtualsystem: (32)

[personal profile] virtualsystem 2024-05-24 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
I also don't really know what you're working with. You're from before gene therapy and stuff like that, I can at least tell that.
2mao: (what did you say now)

[personal profile] 2mao 2024-05-24 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ A Complicated expression. ]

Not an interesting one. Born to a courtesan who got too sick to raise me herself.

[ Got sick because Maomao had been born, and was forced to sleep with the dregs of society as a courtesan who'd lost her value. Then she was raised by the same brothel who'd forced that on her mother.

Yeah, it was complicated. ]
preventedmurder: (serious)

[personal profile] preventedmurder 2024-05-24 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, the wings? Nope, all natural. And my best feature, if I say so myself.

We can definitely make a lot of changes to our bodies, but adding whole new limbs or anything like that isn't really doable where I'm from, and even if it was, it'd probably be an ordeal of years for that kind of change. I'm just what's called a faunus, which...it's kind of hard to explain without millennia of social context, but we're a little different from humans without being like, a biologically different species.
