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.

[ Looks down to her crooked pinky where the tip had been chopped off, then down to the scar on her ankle. Yeah, she wasn't winning this one.

She lets her hair down next, because a hair ribbon totally counts as an article of clothing. She's not making this too easy. ]


I'm still doing pretty good, thank you. But you've truly never bled? Not even during... [ She gestures vaguely. ]

[AIOS shrugs, and then... dissipates into pixels, reappearing on Maomao's other side.]

Bleeding is something organics do.
2mao: (yahuh)

[personal profile] 2mao 2024-05-23 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Blink. Blink. ]

Organic as opposed to what? How did you do that?

If I tried to explain the idea of a digital lifeform to you, it would all just go over your head, wouldn't it?
2mao: (and that's why you're a ho)

[personal profile] 2mao 2024-05-23 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
I understand what a lifeform is, obviously, just not the word "digital." Though I did think "organic" would be a qualifier for a lifeform.

Are you some sort of spirit, then? [ She has to admit, those all seemed a bit superstitious to her before, but... ]

Hmph. To a limited perspective like yours, it would be easier and faster to just call me an all-knowing, omnipotent god.
2mao: (I'd rather not)

[personal profile] 2mao 2024-05-23 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
You're definitely not that.

If you were, you'd easily be able to actually explain yourself.
virtualsystem: (6)

[personal profile] virtualsystem 2024-05-23 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I can explain. I just don't want to.
2mao: (Explaining yet again)

[personal profile] 2mao 2024-05-24 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
You're not sounding very convincing there.

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: (and that's when i said hey)

[personal profile] 2mao 2024-05-24 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
See, that wasn't too bad, now was it?

I get the gist of it now.
virtualsystem: (66)

[personal profile] virtualsystem 2024-05-24 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
I highly doubt that.
2mao: (:|)

[personal profile] 2mao 2024-05-24 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Are you physically incapable of being courteous?
virtualsystem: (6)

[personal profile] virtualsystem 2024-05-24 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
In this place? It would take more processing power than I'm willing to allocate.

Do you realize how many different cultures and time periods are reflected in this room alone? With vastly different ideas of courtesy and norms? It's a wonder you're all stripping instead of trying to kill each other.
2mao: (just tasting the poison)

[personal profile] 2mao 2024-05-24 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
You're playing too. What was it you said. You're going to win this, right?
virtualsystem: (1)

[personal profile] virtualsystem 2024-05-24 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Obviously, yes.
