Not-So-Final Destination Week

Are there some things that you've always wanted to do with your character that are just a little too out there to really justify, or just plain aren't IC? Have you ever wanted a good reason to do it anyway? If you said yes to those questions, then do I have a plot for you!
There will be a party in the 6th Floor Common Room in the dorms on Saturday, May 25th. During that party, there will be a game of I Never. But this will end up being a game like you've never played. *takes a drink*
The Final Destination movies, if you're at all familiar with them, involve Death getting mad that a group of young people avoided a horrible fate, so it goes ahead and makes sure they die in terrible, sometimes 3-dimensional, ways. In the Not-So-Final Destination plot, Irony is watching and decides to make sure that some of the things that You Never did end up happening. (And if you try telling Irony that it doesn't work like that, you're just going to end up with Alanis stuck in your head. Because that would be ironic. Don'tcha think?)
So, if Sia says "I've never worn a top hat" and Jessica hasn't done that, then at some point during the week of May 26th to June 1st, I can come up with some reason for her to wear one. Maybe one blows toward her in the wind and she goes, "That looks snazzy, I will wear it." Or maybe she wakes up to gremlins playing Jessica Dress Up. One way or another, it WILL happen.
You'll be able to choose your prompt from anything listed during I Never that does not inspire your character to take a drink per the rules of the game. Obviously, if somebody throws out "I've never killed someone just to watch the life escape from their eyes," don't choose that. Also, maybe tattle on that person because that's messed up. But if somebody throws out, "I've never streaked across the front lawn," well, have fun streaking.
At the end of the party, late on the 26th, I'll compile a list of the various prompts and post them to
fhplotterywheel so people have a solid list of things to choose from. I realize that's Memorial Day weekend, but if you'd like to participate, please at least establish your character in the I Never game. And maybe throw out a prompt!
So, to recap:
Party with I Never: Saturday, May 26
List of Prompts Posted: Late May 26/ Early May 27
Irony Chases You Down And Makes Something Happen: Any time between Sunday May 27 and Saturday June 1
Thoughts? Questions? Concerns? Adorable little bunny rabbits?
ETA: And obviously, it's a party happening in the dorms, so this is limited to the people living there, i.e. students. Non-students (and non-party-goers) can get caught up in the fallout as it happens to someone from the party, but that's it. But hey, we could always use more than one person for a good streaking.
