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.

Wow, talk about fitting names.

[Because she was definitely gorgeous, confident and seemed to represent her homeland pretty well.]

Ah, no, not really. Been kissed by surprise once or twice, but I'm usually avoiding those suitors I mentioned before. Part of hanging around here is so I can have some more freedom about that.

[It wasn't like Ranma hated all the women after his hand, but having a decision forced upon him was very different.]
hatefuldays: (What are our options)

[personal profile] hatefuldays 2024-05-24 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
[*Hyun-ae takes... her hand? his hand? Whatever, she probably won't need to worry about pronouns for this. She follows Ranma towards the bed, rambling self-consciously.]

Well, I've only really had it one way, and that was with a man, so I don't know what my options are... Just let me know if you want me to do anything, okay?
handsonapproach: (over the shoulder)

[personal profile] handsonapproach 2024-05-24 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Heavier? I'm sure I can handle it.
actuallycuring: (When she was older and was in)

[personal profile] actuallycuring 2024-05-24 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[And Karen is wearing... no shoes, now.]

Not often.
curse_of_girl: (Flirting)

[personal profile] curse_of_girl 2024-05-24 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
I'll, um, try to show you some of those options then.

[Ranma was already undressed, given the game downstairs. So he just guided Hyun-ae to take a seat on the edge of the bed.

He leans in to kiss her first, something soft, and giving her the option to take the lead if she prefers. His lips were soft, and he at least had a little experience kissing someone.]

Of course! Wealth and status are what life is all about. What did you think the meaning of life was? Being a little goody two shoes?
actuallycuring: (shocked of not being chosen)

[personal profile] actuallycuring 2024-05-24 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Karen still has socks on, but she takes off her skirt instead. Outer layer first, then inner layer. That's clearly how this should be done.]

That's a little difficult for me to imagine, honestly.
immortal_smoke: (Effort is too much work)

[personal profile] immortal_smoke 2024-05-24 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
It was a long time ago. In the first hundred years of immortality, I think I lost my mind a little. I'd do anything to chase the boredom away for a little longer.
actuallycuring: (she doesn't believe in make up stories)

[personal profile] actuallycuring 2024-05-24 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Fine, fine.

[Was Mokou singling Karen out intentionally? Probably not. Does she feel targeted anyway? Yes. Karen takes off her shirt, along with a necklace that she feels shouldn't count as an article of clothing, and sets both of them in her little pile of discarded items along with her phone. The hilarious meme Saki posted in the groupchat will have to wait.]
actuallycuring: (expressed little o her reaction)

[personal profile] actuallycuring 2024-05-24 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Socks: gone.]

That's fair. Not everyone is in a position to do it.
actuallycuring: (Karen spots the others)

[personal profile] actuallycuring 2024-05-24 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Outside of this conversation but still close enough to hear it, Karen quietly slides her little pile of belongings a little further away from Joon.]

[personal profile] virtualsystem 2024-05-24 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Is there really a difference?
actuallycuring: (pic#17062141)

[personal profile] actuallycuring 2024-05-24 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Karen's been remarkably casual about being part of a group of increasingly naked people, but this has her flustered.]

I just wanted to try it...

[Almost as an afterthought she gets to work removing her bra.]
actuallycuring: (pic#17062144)

[personal profile] actuallycuring 2024-05-24 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[And thanks to Anand, Karen is now naked, casually dropping her panties onto the little pile that now contains everything she brought in with her.]

There are more of these? I've only ever been to a magic interdimensional garden before.
2mao: (Hold up what)

[personal profile] 2mao 2024-05-24 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ Really? REALLY?

This is all Jinshi's fault. He made her take that dumb court lady exam.

But still, the rules were rules. Maomao was already down to nothing but underwear and an arm bandage.

She takes off the underwear first, blushing highly as she does so. At least she's not the only one naked here - though that does bring up a whole other issue, which is that Maomao must be particularly unattractive next to this woman.

Well. Maybe that would draw the eyes from her. ]


How often do you take tests that this is an accomplishment?
2mao: (and that's why you're a ho)

[personal profile] 2mao 2024-05-24 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
I see what you mean. But if you took shelter under a noble's house, surely they could get rid of him if he came for you?
actuallycuring: (shocked of not being chosen)

[personal profile] actuallycuring 2024-05-24 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Karen takes off her... oh, she's out of clothes already.]

Oh, it looks like you get to give me an order.
virtualsystem: (6)

[personal profile] virtualsystem 2024-05-24 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
What- I'm not complaining, but already? How did you run out so quickly?!
2mao: (Explaining yet again)

[personal profile] 2mao 2024-05-24 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Keeping your head low to avoid the axe, mostly.
handsonapproach: (over the shoulder)

[personal profile] handsonapproach 2024-05-24 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
I see. Looking for something with less... attachment?
curse_of_girl: (Sleepy)

[personal profile] curse_of_girl 2024-05-24 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
The only rich people I know, is exactly one of the people trying to get me to marry her. Can't blame that one on my dad, though. I saved her life once, and she just decided I was her knight in shining armor.

She has kidnapped me more than once. Used Blackmail, paralysis powder, all sorts of stuff. I really don't have any options here.
Edited (Fixing a word) 2024-05-24 04:21 (UTC)
2mao: (back of the neck)

[personal profile] 2mao 2024-05-24 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Afraid not. I come from the Kingdom of Li. No dragons in our imperial family, I've checked.
curse_of_girl: (Boyish Blush)

[personal profile] curse_of_girl 2024-05-24 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. I don't think it has to be a lack of emotional attachment, just not something that will alter the rest of my life.
2mao: (yeees my poison!)

[personal profile] 2mao 2024-05-24 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ She can feel his pain over being kidnapped - she was kidnapped, too. Sold into the service of the Imperial Palace, even. But before she can express her sympathies over a similar situation, he mentions the other stuff. ]

Paralysis powder? What did it look like? How did it paralyze you? Was it ingested or contact?
actuallycuring: (Karen designs a flyer)

[personal profile] actuallycuring 2024-05-24 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[If asked, Karen would insist that Maomao is very pretty! But that's a hypothetical thing that could be happening. Out here in the realm of things that are actually happening, she's paying more attention to Maomao's bandage than to her privates. Later she will apologize, then apologize again for the absurdity of that apology.]

Not often now, but in my world and time period we take them regularly as part of our education.
