I Never (Game/Open)

[yolanda7i]

((Game Rules:

Okay so we all know the classic drinking game "I Never" right? One person starts off by saying "I Never...(insert thing they never did)". Everyone else says if they never did it, or if they, in fact, did do it. If they did do it, they take a drink. Its a way to get to know people and also get ridiculously drunk lol.

1. So we will do it IN CHARACTER, however. So if you never done the thing in question, or if you have done it, reply accordingly as your character would. You can reply and respond to the other characters' answers. This is just like any RP...as if you're in the scene.

2. You "join" the game by posting. So once you post we expect for you to keep up with the game as it goes on. If you want out, just walk out of the scene like normal.

3. When a statement as been said (ex: "I have never traveled"), everyone who is in the game must say something. Either they HAVE done it, or they HAVEN'T. If you HAVE you must do TWO things: you must explain further the situation that you did...and you must drink

4. Even if you HAVEN'T done it, you must state that you haven't.

5. We'll go in the order of people who posts. So say the round goes like---

Lorne asks the I Never statement
Faith posts, then Xander, then Angel, then Willow, then Cordy ()
Then Faith will post the next I Never statement, since she's next in line.
For the next round, Xander will post the I Never statement.

Don't worry Lorne will tell you when its your turn.

6. Yes, the drinks effect you. So if you end up drinking a lot, act like you've had one too many drinks

7. SO yeah, this has the potential of getting really wild and crazy lol. Use your imaginations! Make up stuff (in reason lol)! Even if it wasnt explicitly done in the show, if you think your character PROBABLY...MOST LIKELY...would've done it, say so and make up the history lol

Sample RP (just so you guys can understand And please forgive fact that im RPing with myself. Many of us will end up doing just that anyway lol):

Lorne: Lorne lifted up his glass to the people at the table "Alright honey bunches, here's the first one to keep you on your tippy toes. I've never seen the 18th century."

Gunn: Gunn laughed, pushing his drink away. "Naw man, and I'm glad. Not the best time in history for me to be in, i'mma be straight. Plus, not being dead is a plus, so looks like i'm stayin' sober this round."

Angel: He looked at Lorne suspiciously, thinking he said that purposely to get him to drink. "Yeah, seeing the 18th century comes with the territory. I also met the pope back in my hay day," He laughed a bit. "Actually it was a funny story..."

Gunn: "Yo," he interrupted. "If it's got to do with you creatin' havoc and mayhem in the Vatican, I'm gonna bet it ain't all that funny."

Angel: Angel gazed at Gunn uneasily, brow furrowed. "True," he then took his shot.

Lorne: Lorne coughed loudly. "Lets move on shall we? Angel, you're up next to make a statement"

Kay got it? YAY! Lets play! (Hope this works lol) So the setting is in Caritas and Lorne is already there and the first "I Never" is after the end of this post. So if you want to JOIN the game, post if you HAVE or HAVEN'T done the what was stated. Remember, even if you HAVEN'T done it, post anyway if you want to join. and follow the rules accordingly. ))
----------------------

Lorne sat at the long table in the back in Caritas, and poured himself a shot. Unfortunately he couldn't drink now but he was always ready for the immediate future. He couldn't drink because he was the one starting off the game of I Never. He invited all of the friends he knew, and their friends' friends, so on and so forth. He figured it would be a good thing, considering the world was going to end. It would be nice to unwind for the big finish. Besides, there was nothing else he wanted to do more than spend time with people he cared about before it could possibly be all over.

"Alright my dreary weathered friends," Lorne said. "Here starts the first round. I'm sure unlike most of you here, I've never turned bad, not in any alternate universe, not in LA. Not in the slightest." A smile appeared upon his green hued face.

Faith ran her hand through her hair as she moved closer to the table. She loved this game. Although Lorne’s question caught her off guard a little. Faith shrugged, what's done is done. “Well I never was no Angel from the start” Faith said smiling as she took a long swig of her beer. "Pun totally intended" Faith added grinning at Angel.

[Buffy Summers]

Buffy sat tensely at the table, not being able to keep herself from eying the green demon called Lorne. But since Angel trusted him, she realised he must be no threat. She hadn't played this game before, but it would be good to have some fun for once. After Faith had spoken, Buffy laughed. "That's for sure... and I was there, remember?"

"Yeah, I've had my bad moment. Shutting everyone out and acting like a total... you know what." She shrugged and took a drink. "Plus, hanging out with this one has to make me bad..." She looked at Faith with a smirk.

[Xander Harris]

"No, I don't know what, I know what?" Xander looked at the group dumbfoundley, to Buffy's statement.

"Well I once was possesed by a hyena, and I had this dream where Willow and I were a vampire. It was strange, the dream was so life like. So I can say I've been bad, really dogish of me." He laughed at his attempt to make a joke.

His laughing died out as he took a mouthful.

[Cordelia Chase]

Cordelia's eyes shifted from side to side after hearing Xander's answer about having a dream of being a vampire. "Yeah... a dream..." She cleared her throat nervously and quickly answered the I Never after that.

"Well, in high school, I wasn't exactly the nicest person... Don't say anything!" She pointed to Xander. "So I suppose that counts..." Cordy took a drink too and pulled a face. It had been a while since she'd had alcohol and she'd forgotten how strong it was. But she had a feeling she'd have to get used it to by the end of the night.

[dustedvampire2]

Spike eyes darted around to everyone at the table, I can't believe that I'm here with these people Spike rolled his eyes.

"Well I am a vampire, used to have no soul. And I tortured, maimed and kill victims because it was fun." Spike drank half his glass in one mouthful.

He eyed his glass, "shouldn't have done that, 'ave a feeling I'm going to be drinking the most."

[archer]

Willow grinned sheeishly, "well we all know I went power mad before so I definitely did." Her voice softened with shame and her cheeks flamed red as she took a mouthful of her WKD, it wasn't a hard drink and she could keep her head after the first one and halfway through the second it became a bit hazy.

((OOC: I have played this game in real life its well good hehe)

Angel pressed his lips together and sighed heavily when Lorne made the first statement. Of course, he would say that, he thought. He stayed completely silent as the other people at the table said their piece, thinking in his head how ridiculous this was and asking himself why he was doing this in the first place. The world was about to be destroyed yet here he was playing this pointless game. But Lorne was right. They were sitting ducks until the evil made it's move. Might as well make the last moments good ones before the big fight.

He shook his head and sighed at Faith's little pun. His dark eyes then looked up at Spike, in particular, taking in his almost nonchalant response.

Soon enough the table was waiting on him. He cleared his throat, his expression showing his lack of amusement with this game already. "Well, I think we all know my answer without pointing out the elephant in the room," He said dryly. He looked up at the table, and for the first time really noticing what was going on here. All of his friends were sitting there, together, despite everything that has happened. Despite everything that was going to happen. Despite their disagreements, despite their differences. There was something comforting in that fact. He finally realized the reason why Lorne was right.

He sighed again and continued, "...more than 100 years of my life was spent making everyone's lives a living nightmare." He picked up his shot glass, holding it from the bottom and looking through the liquid and the glass as if it were fascinating, not seeing any hint of a reflection. "And you can spend another hundred years trying to cope, trying to atone, but it's never enough. And you just have to accept that." Even now when he could potentially be ending his long, long life, that fact had settled with him. Something deep in him wanted to say sorry for all the pain he's caused to the people at the table over the years, when Angelus made appearances. But as he tipped his head back to swallow the shot, he swallowed his words as well. He knew that words meant little, and that was something he had to accept as well.

(haha sry guys I have a chronic addiction with the internal monologue lol)

[yolanda7i]

Lorne grinned at Angel. "Hey Angelcakes, might wanna take it easy on all that mood killing you're doing. Think about it. The end of the world is coming tomorrow, no need to be the dark avenger when you've got shots on the table, right amigo?" He looked at the rest of the table.

"Faith, why don't you show Angel how it's done. It's your time to shine, honey. Go ahead and give us another I Never statement," he said.

[missy7]

Faith grinned, it was her turn, and she was gona make this good. Faith looked around the room and smiled. “Ok guys I never slept with or kissed anyone here” Faith said. She was fairly certain that all of them except maybe Lorne had done the deed.

“Come on guys, don't be shy” Faith said shaking her bottle then nudged Buffy smirking.

[Buffy Summers]

Buffy threw Faith a murderous look at her choice of the I Never statement. She willed herself not to look at anyone so she bent her head.

"Okay, I'm just going to drink because everyone already knows and we've all heard the story often enough so..." She realised she was rambling, so she quickly picked up her drink and half emptied it, still not making eye contact with anyone. But she did manage to throw Faith another glare at her knowing smirk.

[Xander Harris]

Xander stared at Faith intentivly, as soon as she aked the question he flashedback to the that hour an a half they spent together, and to all the times that he and Cordelia spent half of their school days in the janitors closet and to when he and Willow kissed and were caught by Oz and Cordy.

"I think somones had a memory lapse" he said sarcastically and took a swig of his drink.

[yolanda7g]

Angel rolled his eyes and sighed again. "Good one, Faith," he said sarcastically without cracking a smile. He grabbed his drink again and said, "I'm with Buffy,"

He paused. "I mean, that is in no way related to the question, I'm just agreeing with..." He sighed. "Nevermind." He took in his drink.

"I can see where this night is heading..." He mumbled under his breath.

[Cordelia Chase]

Cordelia pulled a face at Buffy and Angel. "Okay, we don't need to hear about it guys... let's just go with eww and never speak of it again."

Cordy looked at Xander with surprise. "What are you talking about? What would she have a memory lapse over?" She stared at him with a frown, finally understanding. "Oh..." Then she looked at Faith and put up her best sympathy face. "Lucky you."

Cordy took a drink before adding, "That's for wishing I had one too." She glanced at Xander, now with an amused smile, remembering their High School days when they were 'together'.

[dustedvampire2]

"The stories, I could tell you all about what happened between me and Buffy" Spike grinned a satisfying grin, as he remembered those steamy nights between them two.

He downed the rest of his drink, reached into his pocket and bought out a bottle whiskey and poured it into his glass. He looked guiltingly at everyone. "Well the crap you gave me wouldn't do anything."
