Welcome to Gaia! ::

Even Joshua Harvey got kind of sick of sitting on his a** and fixing s**t sometimes. He'd been slowly hammering at the second story of Leo's outpost ever since his arm healed a few days ago, and in between his work and whoever happened to join in at the time, they were getting a good headway in.

Breathing all that dust was bad for one's lungs, through, and whenever he started coughing too much he evacuated for a bit to get a breath of fresh... air.

He certainly couldn't say anything about anyone's state of clothing. He was washing, of course, and also washing his clothes as best as he could in the showers afterward, wearing some of the beamed up supplies while waiting for them to dry. But it still certainly wasn't machine-washing level, for sure.

Being tall and having broad shoulders made it so that most of the things people had found so far just plain didn't fit him.

He still didn't know how there was air in space. He'd given up trying to figure it out.

He was slowly getting more and more comfortable with the strange surrounding, and was going further and further from Leo's outpost while steering clear of the places he had been indicated not to go in. These people were offering them shelter, the least he could do was abid to their rules.

Gemini's outpost had been his destination, and there was a somewhat familiar face - he remembered this one from the my little pony part of the space road - and... he had alchool.

There was alchool all over this freaking room.

Honestly, it was tempting. He was bored stiff, more or less, and while he wasn't technically allowed to drink...

...It wasn't like his parents could see him up here.

Regina Faith looked completely out of place as she stepped into the room, peering around a moment before nudging her glasses up (a horrible nervous habit, really; rarely done because her glasses were actually sliding). While her research had shown that the young man (all man, she was hoping; possibly the only one she was crossing her fingers hoping wasn't an alien) she had taken a fancy to in her first brief glimpses was one of the two Gemini Sailors, and that this was his outpost (hers? theirs? assuming it took both of the Geminis to own it, and not just the one... more research, eventually, she supposed...), he wasn't actually here. At least not at the moment...

There did seem to be an overabundance of alcohol, though, and... Wait. Jocelin had come along with her and she was heading straight for the... "Hold on. Don't you think we should ask, first? I mean, not that I think this is a bad idea, because I think we could all use a drink or two..." or five. "... Oooh, what is that there?" Her brow quirked, thoroughly distracted as she stepped up behind the young man (Joshua) to peer at the bottles he was nearby. "... Joce, Joce! There are things from other planets here!"

Fritz had gone exploring again.

This had now started to be a prevalent thing within his daily habits, but considering that they were lost in the middle of space, surrounded by who knew what, going home who knew when, he had rather thought he'd make the best of the situation.

Which was how he found himself wandering into the Gemini outpost and stumbling across what appeared to be the biggest hoard of alcohol he had ever seen.

Tall, white frosted bottles of Skyy, the dark amber ones of Crown, the tiny little bottles that held Sake in them, elegant bottles of Beringer wine, festive Peach Schnapps, and dozens upon dozens more that Fritz could not even begin to count.

It was really rather impressive.

"Evening, everyone," he said cheerfully to the people already in the room, lifting a hand in a brief greeting as he ambled across the floor and took a seat, lounging back against the wall with his fingers linked behind his head. He wasn't entirely certain what was going on, but it seemed like there were at least other people to hang out with. "So, what's happening? We having a party or something?"

Kes had been stuck at Virgo with her ribs being cracked it meant that she wasn't really going to be going anywhere anytime soon. However surprisingly they seemed to be getting better quicker and quicker each time. To say this is what was expected was well untrue. Her ribs were still aching but she had started to leave the outpost to explore the other areas. How she made it here she wasn't sure, such was letting one wander lots.

She walked into the room and was pleasantly surprised, this was what she wanted. Somewhere that looked like a good party. The booze around the room made her smile, that would help distract her from her aching ribs anyway.

"So we gonna drink this stuff?" She smirked and looked around at the others. Oh she wanted some of this stuff.

Guests had arrived; the party had finally begun! As Ricky looked around the room, a collection of shot glasses caught his eye.

"Aw, hell yes!" he shouted loudly as he hurried over to the shot glasses, a little skip in his step. He picked up a stack of the glasses and a bottle of liquor, raising them high above his head. "Who wants to play a drinkin' game?"

He called the others over to form a circle and gave each a shot glass as he took a seat on the floor. The bottle of liquor was placed in the center of the circle.

((Sign-ups for the drinking game have now closed! The order of making statements will be Ricky, Joshua, Jocelin, Regina, Veer, Fritz, Carolyn, Kes, and Hephaistos. This is simply the order of "Never have I ever" statements, not a strict posting order. Ricky will make the first statement, everyone posts their response, then Joshua makes his statement, and so on and so forth. If you are skipped over for your reaction post, feel free to post later and backlog the reaction.))

Once everyone's shot glasses were full, Ricky started the game.

"Never have I ever gotten a piercing."

((If your character has had a piercing, they must drink, and feel free to explain! Otherwise do not drink!))

Joshua settled, shot glass in hand, taking his place in the circle. This wasn't a game he'd ever played, but really, it didn't take an university diploma to figure out how it worked and how it was played.

Ricky announced his statement, but the black-haired teen didn't drink the content of his glass. "I've always wanted an eyebrow piercing, but my parents always said it was against Azure's dress code. I have no idea if that's true or if they made it up... But I guess I'll get one done after I graduate."

It wasn't like he knew any safe place who pierced minors without parental concent, anyway. Sure, he could hide the ring when he went up to Vancouver to visit... But his parents would see the holes, and then the holes might close.

Too much of a bother.

Never have I ever! Carolyn's face lit up and she was instantly scooting herself ungracefully towards the shot glasses like her life depended on it. As far as the blonde was concerned, it did. Smiling at everyone gathered she wrapped her legs around the shot glass and did her best to make sure her shorts weren't riding up in a way that would end in a Lindsey Lohan moment. Something told her this was the last place she wanted to flash anything.

Oh man. That first statement was a total cheat and she instinctively reached up to feel her ears. Not only were her ears pierced to the cartilage, but so was her naval. Shrugging, it only meant she got to start drinking sooner and she downed her shot without so much as a second thought. Grinning she waved her empty glass at the young kid concerned about Azure's dress code. "Yeah, what he said. ******** your parents, it's not like you're asking to get your ding-dong pierced." Though, maybe that was the better option since something like couldn't be considered against dress-code.
