Regina wasn't entirely certain what had been passed to her from the array of 'space booze' but she took it eagerly enough, popping the cork off with a *plunk* nose before lightly sniffing at it as though that would somehow make the contents easier to discern. It didn't, of course, but that wasn't doing anything to hamper her sense of adventure. Instead, she listened to the first round of questioning, eyes going bright at the 'Never have I...'
"Oh! I've got my ears pierced." She tucked a strand of hair back behind her ear, showing off a simple metal hoop with a piece of crystal dangling from it. As she looked around for a moment she realized that they were supposed to be doing something other than just showing off their piercings... So she took a swig from the space booze... And promptly started sputtering as though she'd just swallowed fire.
At least it had a pleasant enough aftertaste once the fire began to die down?

Fritz accepted the shot glass offered to him and raised it in thanks to Ricky before lowering it again, settling. more comfortably against the wall. Drinking wasn't really his thing, if he was to be completely honest with himself (he would have rather gone to play video games or something, or maybe make more beadwork), but they were all in a place where they could use a little bit of relaxing.
And there were no video games in space.
So, Fritz decided to just let himself have a night of ridiculousness, even if it would probably mean a stellar headache in the morning. He hadn't ever really gotten himself completely smashed before (he was certainly better at holding his alcohol than Tolliver, at least; his brother got drunk off of one shot), but it would most likely be a learning experience.
And an interesting one, at that, considering the game.
"Never had a piercing," Fritz said lightly, resting the glass against his midsection, one finger absently tapping against it. "Never really saw the appeal of it, to be honest."
That, and he was secretly afraid of needles. But that was beside the point.

Kes smirked when the game was made obvious. She grabbed a shot glass and looked around at the others. It seemed everyone knew the game, at least that was something.
Piercings.
She looked at Jocelina when she mentioned that every girl should have her ears pierced. "Agree with you girl!" She then downed the shot glass and looked around. This stuff taste good.
"You reckon we can take this stuff home if we ever get back?" She was curious to say the least. She could feel the strength of the stuff and it tasted so good. Maybe they could sneak a few bottles home.

Joshua made a face.
Not so much at the ******** his parents bit (he did wish he could, but he depended on them and their money for now, as long as he was in high school), but at what Carolyn said.
Of course he'd heard about these piercings, it wasn't like he lived under a rock, but he was sure he didn't want a piercing gun anywhere near his... ding dong.
It looked like it was his turn now, but what to ask ? Something he'd never done... Hm.
"Never have I ever eaten squid."
Seriously. Squid was the grossest, scariest s**t he'd seen. The video of the whole dead squid moving when soy sauce was poured on it that was going through the internet did not help any.
Were any of them more courageous that he was ? He kind of wondered what it tasted like.
Kinda.
((Just moving this along a bit :>))

Ricky did not raise his glass. Instead, he simply arched a brow at the suggestion. He knew people in other parts of the world ate all sorts of weird things - even bugs - but squid? Who would want to put that in their mouth? He was blissfully unaware of how popular squid was, even in the States - not that he would consider trying something so 'foreign' to him.
"That's just ********' disgustin," he grimaced.

"...actually, I think it sounds pretty damn interesting..." Veer didn't drink, though, to his disappointment. Instead he took the time to make sure his shot glass was completely, 100% full for the next one, looking forward to throwing back another shot. Nevermind that when he brought the cup up to his mouth, he'd likely slosh over...
"The pizza place that delivers to my place has Calimari on the menu." He held up the glass like a toast. "Maybe I'll order it next time, just for you, kid."

Carolyn frowned and looked at her glass. She couldn't take a sip and it sort of dissapointed her. Not that she wanted to eat squid, that'd be something she was positive would never happen, but because she wanted more booze. Shrugging she looked up at Ricky and nodded.
"My parents have had it before at this really swanky dinner," she said, "but there was no way in hell I was trying it too."

Jocelina looked at everyone around her with wide eyes. "What is wrong with you people? Calamari is delicious." She emptied her shot glass, slower this time, while still grinning. "I mean it sounds disgusting, deep fried squid rings and all, but it's amazing. Mostly all you taste is the batter anyway so it's sorta like an onion ring without the nasty flavor of the onion."
She really did feeel bad for everyone who hadn't bothered to eat it before. Her favorite thing about Italian restaurants was that they always had calamari on the menu.

"Squid? Yuck!" No she hadn't tried it and no she never wanted to either. She looked at Jocelina and just couldn't believe what she heard. "It just sounds wrong, how can you eat it?" She was just... no it was wrong.
At least most of the people seemed to see the sense in eating squid being disgusting. She couldn't believe that... just no. Maybe the next person will at least think of something more useful. She wanted to drink more and well it seemed possibly only one person would be drinking this time round.

The second question was tame just like the first, but unlike the last one Hephaistos had to raise his glass to it, glancing at Jocelina as he did so. "Cheers to that, it's like shrimp really when it comes to flavor, just a little bit more chewy ya know? Taste great with a little marinara sauce too."
Tilting his head back he took the shot before glancing over at Kes he gave a slight frown, "I doubt we can do that. Or would be allowed to really. I kinda met the person who um." He paused, "To put it bluntly she's a Princess and pretty much this place belongs to her and a bunch of other people in her service... so it's like stealing from the Queen Of England except instead of some old lady it's actually a young girl with magical laser beam powers."
This was of course accompanied by a series of pew pew sounds as he used his hands like two magical space revolvers.

Regina didn't have any interesting stories to tell about her experiences with eating squid. Calamari was something she'd had once or twice, but she'd also tried it in a seafood mix at one of her favorite restaurants; a Chinese buffet in town that had all sorts of things. She had to admit, to herself at least, that she liked it a lot more when it was fried in rings than when you could still make out the shape of it as being a once-seacreature.
She did, on the other hand, feel the need to lightly add on to what Hephaistos was saying after taking her next swig of the fiery space concoction. "It's really not all that wise to try and pull one over on aliens."

Nodding to Regina he filled up another shot making his most serious pokerface in the world he could possibly do.
"Seriously. We Aliens know everything."
Of course that was total bullshit but since they were in space, he was a Senshi, and they were all drinking it wouldn't hurt to have some fun now would it?

"Meh aren't we the aliens at the moment? We are in their world as it were..." So as she was now an alien that meant she could take alcohol! Granted she wasn't going to let the world know she would take some and to be honest she may not even be sober enough at the end of the game to think of doing anything sensibly.
"I suppose you have a point, might ask though." Just to cover her back.

"It's tasty." She shrugged at Kes's question. "Really tasty if it's got the right batter on it. And they cut it into rings so it's not like you're eating tiny octi's or anything." She had seen some that fried up octopus looking things but she -wouldn't- eat those
"Oh god. Don't tell Regina she's an alien." She looked at Hephaistos and Kes again. "She might start believing you." It was bad enough hearing the other girls' babble about everything else.
"Anyway .. um .... Never have i been skiing"

"Yes I have" was possibly said with a little too much enthusiasm as she knocked back another shot. She liked this stuff okay? She also wanted to get wasted so she needed more things that she had done.
"Went in France one year. My mum broke her leg but it was good fun." If only because her mum ended up stuck on the resort and not actually able to follow them out to the slopes. Oh how happy she was to be able to get away from her mother. They didn't have the best of relationships.
