Teen Party!!!

[jonesiseverywhere]

Who| Anyone under 18!
What| A big teen blowout (or possibly just kind of a quiet teen get-together depending on how things go)
Where| Starting in Dipper's room
Warnings/Notes| Is it underage drinking if they aren't underage in Legion's reality?

They were all in the mess hall, Dipper was talking about how many games his sister Mabel had managed to collect in the time she was here, and before you know it, it had morphed into a party. Teens only. Invite your friends. Bring some snacks.

Casey arrived with a stack of pizza as high as his torso, and a case of beer. You can buy space-alcohol as a teenager here! That kind of rules.

Arrival and Mingling

[jonesiseverywhere]

Get settled, drop off your stuff, and chat with people.

Jason's unsure how he feels about being told to come to the party with actual booze, but... Well. It's legal here, right? No point in clinging to what's legal back home, especially not if he wants to maintain friendships.

So when he pops into Dipper's room, glancing around since he'd never been in there before, he brings with him two bottles. One seems to be generating its own layer of frost. There are snowflakes moving inside. The other bottle looks for all the world like someone poured a galaxy into it.

"You guys asked for something good, so I got the top shelf stuff." He hefts both of the bottles. "Figured some of you would need help reaching these, anyway."

It wasn't so much that Danny was nervous about being in a party with people his own age. It was more the fact that he didn't really... know a lot of people here, so he wasn't sure what to do. At the moment, he was just leaning against the wall, non-alcoholic drink in hand. Taking occasional sips from it, as he watched everyone else have fun.

He talked to Dave before over text, and he remembered Jason and Dipper from other posts. But he never actually met any them face to face, so he wasn't sure how to even say hi. It was easier to talk over the omnicom, he didn't have to worry that much about messing up. But without it, he was just keeping to himself, and watching everyone.

It wouldn't have been so frustrating, if it didn't make him feel like he was the loser back in high school again, honestly.

Sip.

Dipper is feeling surprisingly social at the moment, but it is all taking place in his suite, and at this point, he's either friendly or at least on familiar terms with most of the other teens.

And for some reason, parties have always come easier than other social things. Maybe it has to do with never having thrown one or having gone to one alone. Right now, even though she's not there, it sort of feels like Mabel's still here, so he's at ease as much as he would be if she were around.

So he notices Danny looking a little awkward and decides to try to help with that awkwardness.

"Nope nope nope," he says, walking over to him. "The walls are no-lean zones. It's like 'the floor is lava' except a little more lateral."

Come. Sit with all the people.

"You don't have to do the wallflower thing, man. This is a superhero party. Nobody has to worry about any of the dumb...whatever. That goes on in normal parties."

Not that he really knows what goes on in normal parties because he's only 13, but TV has taught him there's issues due to popularity, potential for embarassment...

But this isn't exactly the kind of crowd that cares about popularity, and they're more the type to laugh with instead of at someone.

He tugs lightly on Danny's arm, towards the center of the room.

"Come hang out."

Miku stuck her head in. She was a bit late, and she wasn't sure if she actually counted, at the ripe old age of 19. Still, Pidge and Gwen, if they came, would probably enjoy the sparkling, fruity sake that Miku had hunted down to avoid drinking anything harder.

"Um..." Miku leaned in a little further.

[bachido]

"Miku, hi!"

Kubo waved from beside the tray of mochi he'd brought. He already had his shamisen on his lap, picking out a tune to accompany the party.

He still needed to meet with her for a jam, sometime. It occurred to Kubo that perhaps he could convince her to go get her koto before the night was out.

[isthisapidge]

"Hey, Miku! What'd you bring?" Pidge gave a little wave. She...didn't realize she didn't know Miku's age until right now, but she would have been welcome anyway of course.

NON-drunken fun and games

[jonesiseverywhere]

Hey, it takes awhile to get smashed even if the majority of the people here are massive lightweights.

Never Have I Ever

[jonesiseverywhere]

The pièce de résistance of any good party, perfect for when the social lubricant really starts working its magic. Playing this was just inevitable. It starts when Casey says "Hey, you guys ever played Never Have I Ever?" but who knows where it will end up...

[turntex]

Well, there's definitely stuff Dave knows is normal and commonplace for kids that he's just never experienced due to Bro's batshit child-rearing style. And he is not above takihg advantage of that shit to win.

"Never have I ever been to a doctor before getting dumped in this universe," he says, leaning back on his hands and smirking just slightly.

[jonesiseverywhere]

"What, like...never? Even if you broke a bone or needed stitches or something?"

Casey's life has been punctuated by a stream of doctors treating breaks, bruises, cuts, and brain traumas. Not going is just...alien to him.

[kingtyrantranger]

"Somehow I believe you." Still, dick move targeting everyone right off the bat. Jason takes a shot and shudders. Eugh. So cold it burned a little going down. "Is it our fault you never got vaccinated?"

[ghost_bait]

Miku pouts at Dave, but dutifully takes a shot. She makes a face; her bubbly drink might be a little too bubbly.

"Ah, it's tickling my nose."

[isthisapidge]

Wow, beer actually tastes really...less than good. She's going to switch to Miku's sake after this.

"If we go through everything that was not-normal about your life we'll all pass out in half an hour."

[jonesiseverywhere]

"OK, OK, never have I ever...kissed someone with poison lips."

Casey is going to have to pull out the big guns with this crowd. Everyone's kinda done everything.

[bachido]

"So, wait -" Kubo cut in. "Does this mean I take a drink if I have, or HAVEN'T done the thing the person says they haven't done?"

Because he thinks he owes Dave's Never Have I a drink, but he's not sure.

He's definitely never kissed anyone with poisoned lips though and Casey the real question is, what is the story there?

[isthisapidge]

Pidge never dreamed she'd be drinking before the Galra war was over, or before she found her family, or before she was 21. It seemed like a bad idea back then, but now...well, nothing ventured, right?

"Never have I ever...fought a giant robot."

That one may be a little targeted. Just a bit.

[kingtyrantranger]

If anyone's surprised by Jason taking a shot, well. Actually, he's still kinda tight-lipped about the whole Power Ranger thing, so it's probably not expected either way. He grimaces at the taste and the chill again, but declines to comment.

[kingtyrantranger]

Jason considers for a moment while refilling his glass. He's had to take a few shots already, so it's not that smooth.

"Uh. Never have I ever..." He pauses, rolling it in his head first. "...Been turned evil."

That works.

[bachido]

When the game's rules are finally under Kubo's belt, he still has to think about what he'll put in. The things he hasn't done that normal kids seem to have can fill an absolute

"Never Have I Ever . . . gone to school. Before here, I mean."

That seems to be a thing that other kids have done, and the goal is to get people to drink more than you, right?

[captainbuzzkill]

Twin powers, activate.

"Never have I ever had a separate birthdate from one of my siblings."

[ordinarily]

It took a bit for Danny to think of something, given the kind of crowd he was working with. But then, with a smirk, it hit him.

"Never have I ever been to space. Before coming here, anyway."

Danny Phantom was the one who's been to space. Danny Fenton has not.

[ghost_bait]

Miku thinks, "...Ah... Never have I ever played a video game." Pinball one time does not count.

She holds up one hand apologetically to those of them who were born much later, "...Sorry..."

♫ Darling You're a Celebratory Pyrotechnic~! ♫ Jam Session Sing Along !

[bachido]

Kubo picks a couple of idle tunes out on his shamisen throughout the night, but no matter what song from home he idles his way through, his fingers keep finding a series of new notes that have been pleasantly stuck in his head for days.

"Hey, does anyone know this song? I've been hearing it everywhere lately."

He jumps into what is unmistakeably Robotican Pop Wonder Kapaciti Periphi's latest chart-smashing hit. It's no wonder Kubo knows it. The mess deck's radio station plays it ten times a day.

"I can never figure out what the words to the part of the singing she repeats are."

[ghost_bait]

At Kubo's request, Miku left for a short while to get her koto. She was a little tipsy, and it took her several tries to find her way back to Dipper's room, but she did eventually manage to drag it back to the room. It was long, taller than Miku by several inches. Her face was pinker than when she left, with the exertion of carrying it, and three finger picks between her lips.

"Mmm mmmph mi." (I brought it.)
