[Now he looks sort of unsure and embarrassed which is a new look for him.]

Never really worked out. That's all.

[uncurtained]

That's usually what people say after they've tried it for a while. You know, speaking from experience.

[That last bit is meant to put him more at ease, at least.]

[crashout]

[He lifts his eyebrows.]

Dated a lot then, Beck? [This is no longer about the game and now he's just asking questions, whoops.]

[uncurtained]

A few guys, throughout high school and college, up until... Not very long ago. You know how it goes. Or - I guess you don't?

[It's a little bit teasing, but it's fine.]

[crashout]

[There's something off about the closed-lipped smile he gives her, even if he's fine with her teasing him. It's fascinating.]

I guess I don't. [He takes a drink even though that wasn't really a question.] Oh well.

[uncurtained]

[She can't quite tell what's off about the smile, but something prompts her to move on nonetheless.]

Never have I ever been cut off at a bar.

[crashout]

...[He lifts the glass in a toast before drinking.]

Caught me. Not recently though.

[uncurtained]

If it helps, I'm sure I've come close.

[That's both honest and an attempt to make him feel better, but she's changing the subject fairly quickly just in case they get into awkward territory.]

Your turn, now.

[crashout]

[Weren't they supposed to go somewhere? ...ah well. It can wait.]

Hm...never have I ever owned a pet. [Easier questions. He'll redirect as he can.]

[uncurtained]

...Hm. Does it count if my mom owned it while I still lived with her?

[crashout]

It counts. [:)] My parents were pretty strict about owning animals.

[uncurtained]

[She takes a sip again, but, with a smile:]

If I were more cynical, I might think you were just trying to make me drink more.

[crashout]

Aren't you the one who suggested this game? Don't be a sore loser. [The easier atmosphere is back, at least.] Even the score then.

[uncurtained]

Even the score, huh? Never have I ever been named Junpei.

[smh]

[crashout]

Okay that? That is outright cheating! [But he can appreciate it anyway and he'll drink.] Never have I ever gone by my last name.

[Because VLR is not real.]

[uncurtained]

[She laughs a little more outright, shaking her head as she drinks again.]

You're the one who asked me to even the score. Do you have an objection?

[crashout]

I was kind of thinking you'd surprise me with something more clever. [It's fine, they're doing great and are well past the point of sobriety because they're being stupid. He's used to this, and he's gathering intel, and...well...she's nice. It's fine.]

[uncurtained]

Isn't it clever enough if it worked?

[crashout]

Depends. How are we defining clever? There's a difference between wit and resourcefulness.

[uncurtained]

Some people would say using a tactic you know is going to work is an example of both, you know.

[crashout]

Some, but not all. I'll count it in this case though. [He's generous that way.] Whose turn is it again?

[uncurtained]

Oh, very generous. Also, it's mine, so... Never have I ever fainted.

[crashout]

[...annnd a drink.] See, that's a better one. Digging deep. [A beat.] I was nine, so I don't know if that counts.

[uncurtained]

Nice try, but the question wasn't 'never have I ever fainted when I was over the age of ten'.

[crashout]

[He rolls his eyes.] Alright, alright, my turn. Never have I ever...been on a boat.
