NEVER HAVE I EVER the meme

[padadin]

HOW TO PLAY:
in case the diagram is not enough

1. Everyone is at a big party. I don't know how we fit this many people into one room either, but bear with me!
2. Post an IC or anon comment with a subject that finishes the sentence "never have I ever".
3. If you see something your character has done, reply with them taking a shot! If they've done it many times, have them take many shots or down an entire bottle. Shots do not need to be alcohol, especially not for underage characters.
4. All characters must be honest. It's more fun that way.
5. Bother other people. Demand details. Don't wreck the house, please, and post warnings if needed.
!!! Nobody is too new for this!

You left me no choice. You swore the same as us, and were bound by the same chains, Nelyo. None of us ever blamed you.

[castintoflames]

No, I did not. (Even though Maglor could have dropped his burden too.) Well you should have. Father went mad, Mother had no power over us and our Uncles were either too distant to be of any help or too busy. We are brothers, yes, but in those days, I had to be a father too. I let my children - my brothers - charge headlong into certain death.

You could not have stopped us Nelyo, you know that as well as I. The Oath drove us all, an endless refrain.

[castintoflames]

I know, but I rebel against the idea - the Oath - nonetheless. I should have kidnapped the lot of you and Sailed home.

[bythewaves]

The Oath would have no more allowed you to do so than it allowed me to stop you.

[castintoflames]

The Oath was a mistake. That is when I should have stood aside.

[bythewaves]

We all should have, but we loved father, and the guilt of grandfather's death lay on all of us. We could no more have done so then than we could have let it go later.

[castintoflames]

Such decisions should not be made when emotions are high. Father should not have asked that of us.

[bythewaves]

No, they should not, but it changes not the fact that he did, and we followed, as we have always done.

[castintoflames]

I like to think I would have been a better father. If given the chance, that is.

[bythewaves]

I think Elrond and Elros would say that you have proven that.

[castintoflames]

(Somewhere, deep inside of his heart, they are his sons.) I never sought to prove it.

[bythewaves]

I don't think you need to, Nelyo.

[castintoflames]

What of you? Did you wish for children?

I do not mean to cause you pain by asking, Kano.

[bythewaves]

It's alright. [ He touches Maedhros' hand ]

We... were thinking about children, Fal and I. But... things... the timing was not good.
