NEVER HAVE I EVER MEME
HOW TO PLAY:
in case the diagram is not enough
1. Everyone is at a big party. I don't know how we fit this many people into one room either, but bear with me!
2. Post an IC or anon comment with a subject that finishes the sentence "never have I ever".
3. If you see something your character has done, reply with them taking a shot! If they've done it many times, have them take many shots or down an entire bottle. Shots do not need to be alcohol, especially not for underage characters.
4. All characters must be honest. It's more fun that way.
5. Bother other people. Demand details. Don't wreck the house, please, and try to keep things around PG-13

Okay, well I guess I'm seeing how you could've construed what I said that way but it wasn't what... wasn't how I was meaning to come off.
[he stuffs his hands into his pockets and adds quietly:]
Maybe I didn't want to have to see you keel over from alcohol poisoning or anything.
[a sigh, and then another attempt at an explanation:]
Look, my bad, I guess I'm probably more touchy about the issue than I should be because I've been in situations before where people I knew went overboard with the stuff and I could've said something and I didn't, and I guess... I guess I just figured, I dunno, I'd... regret it if I let it happen again here.
no subject
Ah, Dave. Gary can always count on you to provide him with entertainment.]
You think I would go overboard? How insulting. I was under the impression you thought better of me.
no subject
[He realizes what he's saying, what he was about to say, and flushes red in embarrassment, then white in mortification.
Then his mouth shuts and stays shut, because Jesus fucking Christ. This is worse than the time he met Pokey and tripped all over himself about evil puppets. This is worse than that time Pokey called him a "friend" and his brain shut down on him because holy shit Pokey wants to be friends with him. This is... well, it's almost worse than that time he met Jane and called her "John's hot mom."
Almost. Not quite, but getting there.]
no subject
--Wonder why I what, Dave?
no subject
He's really fucked up this time.]
...Nothing. I basically have no idea what I'm saying sometimes.
no subject
Sometimes I wonder why I put up with you.
[Well if YOU'RE not going to say it...]
no subject
He hopes the shades hide how hurt he looks right now. Do your fucking job, shades.]
Are you just finishing my sentence for me, or do you...
[...really mean that.]
no subject
Both.
Sometimes you can be such a loser. And I try to do my job as a friend and steer you away from that direction but you just careen toward it like a car going over a cliff at times.
no subject
That really hurts more than it has any right to, and he knows it's because Gary's right. But he tries not to focus on that; pushes those thoughts to the very back of his mind, and tries to muster up all the anger that he can feel.]
Yeah, well sometimes you can be such a prick.
[It's a halfhearted effort.]
no subject
It doesn't matter how halfhearted it is you can't just stand up to him like that.]
What's the matter, Dave? Is the truth more than you can handle? [He shakes his head. FOR SHAME.] Tch. You're lucky I'm here to tell you how it is. I could lie and pretend nothing's wrong with you but I'm trying to help you be better. You have the potential to be.
Or at least you would if you'd stop screwing it all up.
no subject
It's why he befriended Gary in the first place, after all. His other friends were the type to grin and nod no matter how much of an idiot he was being. His other friends were the type to insist he'd done nothing wrong even as they'd had to suffer the backlash of his horrible fuckups. Being around them made him feel terrible, because he was sure - is sure - that he couldn't believe in their words.
Maybe what he wanted was for someone who'd scream and yell and punch him in the face and tell him what a loser he was. Maybe it was what he'd needed, even. What he deserved.
He doesn't know. All he knows that their meaningless praise and flattery had long ceased to make him feel anything other than worse about himself. It made him feel as though they'd long given up on him entirely.
But Gary... Gary is different. Gary wants to see him improve, wants to help him.
He really doesn't deserve to be friends with Gary after all.]
I... I know.
[The inside of his mouth tastes like blood. He must have been chewing on the inside of his cheek again.]
I just. Don't know what I'm doing.
[He's biting his lip hard enough for it to bleed, because he's fucking pathetic. He can't do anything without someone to guide him.
First it was his bro. Then it was Terezi. And now... now he's hoping it'll be Gary, but he knows he'll fuck it up and end up abandoned again.]
