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.

Oh? Interesting. Then... There's a temperature range. Or is it how you you perceive it as 'hot' or 'cold' that matters? What is the exact temperature cutoff? What about lukewarm, tepid water? Do you have another condition to change back? Where does your extra mass go? Do you reconfigure yourself by will?

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.

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!

[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?

[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.
curse_of_girl: (Exhausted)

[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.

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: (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: (11)

[personal profile] virtualsystem 2024-05-24 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds like a you problem.
curse_of_girl: (Exhausted)

[personal profile] curse_of_girl 2024-05-24 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
You either figure out a way to convince me, or I'm not doing it. I'm not so curious that it's enough for me to go through a bunch of other tests.

[This computer program is a fucking handful, but she's honestly not the worst person he has been friendly with.]

[personal profile] virtualsystem 2024-05-24 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Because you're curious, too, aren't you? What's the cutoff point? How pure does the water have to be? More information can only make it easier on you... Or maybe even make that curse replicable.
curse_of_girl: (Goddamn Kuno)

[personal profile] curse_of_girl 2024-05-24 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'm curious about some of it, but I'm not putting up with any of the more uncomfortable tests just because of that curiosity.

Even for something like a vaccine, you can get candy or something, and this is more uncomfortable and less necessary.
virtualsystem: (42)

[personal profile] virtualsystem 2024-05-24 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
What, candy's all it takes to satisfy you?

[A giant, cartoon-style lollipop appears in front of Ranma.]
curse_of_girl: (Woops)

[personal profile] curse_of_girl 2024-05-24 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Ranma blinks in surprise.]

You can make stuff other than water?!

[He hums.]

Alright, a tasty parfait will win you one uncomfortable test, and we're not doing all these tests in one day.

[personal profile] virtualsystem 2024-05-24 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
I can make anything. You can think of me like a god.
curse_of_girl: (Thinking)

[personal profile] curse_of_girl 2024-05-24 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Huh, interesting. I don't think you're a god, though, seem like a person to me. Just powerful, like a dragon or something.
virtualsystem: (8)

[personal profile] virtualsystem 2024-05-24 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
A dragon? How rude. Does someone like me really seem like one of those giant, ugly lizards humans made up?
curse_of_girl: (Thirst)

[personal profile] curse_of_girl 2024-05-24 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, dragons are pretty amazing. I've met the child of one before, and just eating a whisker of one will cause your hair to grow. Great if you're bald, but uncontrollable if you aren't.
