Anarchy peered over her mug at Astral suspicious. "It's called never have I ever. You say something you haven't done, and if somepony here has done it, they take a drink" Astral paused "I'm not really sure how you win." Eclipse huffed, a small smile growing on his face. "An interdimensional traveler, a looper, a poltician and Misty Rose? Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say we may be here a while." "Are you guys sure you should be having alcohol?" Misty laughed, loud and crass, before leaning on the table. "Astral, we're Canterlot royals. We've been sneaking wine since we were preteens." "Okay, disturbing thing to be proud of, but neato." "Let the games begin!" Misty paused for a moment, obviously trying to think of one, before a smile pulled at the corner of her mouth as she glanced at Annie. "Never have I ever tripped over my own Shard." Immediately, Anarchy lunged across the table as Misty carefully leaned away. "You can't even Bladecast!" She howled. "I don't care, drink up bitch." Anarchy smirked as she slouched in her chair. "Never have I ever usurped a kingdom." The look Eclipse gave her could of froze water. "That was a mistake. The ponies of that world had never seen a Draconequine before, or even a Draconequus. They kept claiming I was 'the new God of the world.' Gods, it was embarrassing." Astral side eyed Misty. "Surprised you never tried that." "Tried. Walked into Canterlot Castle and threw a stick at Celestia. Did not work, which was a shame" she shrugged. "Ah well, sometimes even the best laid plans go to waste." "Never have I ever . . gotten into trouble with the locals" Eclipse said with a smile, only for said smile to drop at everyone's expressions. "What?" "You know I'm your sister, right?" Anarchy raised an eyebrow. "I have seen you get into trouble with locals." "Plus you just said you toppled a government, so . . ." "Alright, alright, fine" he huffed, brow furrowing in thought before clearing. "I've never threw up in front of royalty." As expected, everyone else drank to that. "Never have I ever made out with a squid!" Astral yelped, hitting the table in joy as she watched all three drink. Misty put her glass on the table. "Okay, mine was because of a bet. But you two?" They both studied the table. "We don't want to talk about it." Astral shrugged. "I'll find out eventually" she threatened. "Never have I ever blown up my house." "Not fair! That's picking on me and Anne!" "Technically, it was your dads fault for giving you that chemistry kit." "Never have I ever froze the sun!" " . . Low blow sis." "You started it." "Never have I ever been on a date!" Only Astral took a shot. "Say anything, and you will lose a spleen" she growled. "Never have I ever broke into a place." " I broke into a museum to return an artifact" "I didn't break into anywhere, but I did rob a bank, so I think I'm good?"
