All right, it's share time. Here's some "get to know you" questions. Feel free to answer any or all. Then ask each other new ones you come up with.

1. Who is one person you admire from your world? Historical figure, celebrity, friend or relative - anyone. And why?

2. What's a fond childhood memory you have?

3. What's your hidden talent? The thing you're good at that others might not be aware of.

4. What animal would you be, and why?

Have fun!

Movie night, tomorrow night, 8 pm. The Weaponizer. It's a classic.

You really are the devil.

[dealwiththe]

I knew you'd come around eventually.

Someone Alex was complaining about being bored the other day; so here's something to do. Besides, we're all stuck in close quarters together, there's no sense avoiding learning about each other.

not here

[Claire will never admit that got an lol out of her :( ]

[omniavincit]

Really?

[reek]

You first.

[ Says the man who can't answer any of these questions. ]

[dealwiththe]

Certainly.

1. My dear friend Eve, who overcame her own hangups and the expectations of others to forge her own path in life and found a great love and great happiness.

2. I technically didn't have a childhood, but back before I got kicked out of the Silver City, my sister Azrael and I loved to play pranks on our siblings. Our older brother Amenadiel was one of our favorite targets, mostly because he had (and continues to have) the funniest annoyed face in the universe. It's like 😑 but a thousand times funnier.

3. I'm an excellent pianist and singer.

4. A peacock, perhaps. They have possibly the best fashion sense in the animal kingdom.

Now you! Or if you don't like those, I have so many others I can offer.

[helenite]

ud b an ottr

[lessandmorethanhuman]

Seriously?

Fine.

3. I can fly both an Apache Longbow Gunship and a Blackhawk transport helicopter. I'm fluent in Spanish, German, and Farsi, and I can play violin and piano.



[OOC: The languages and violin/piano are headcanon, but based on the people he's consumed? not unlikely at all.]

immediately switches to audio

[dealwiththe]

[ He also immediately switches to flawless Farsi. ]

Where'd you learn the languages? Do tell!

[helenite]

Since you're making the effort, I might as well.

1. Saying I admire my husband sounds like cheating, but I do. I've never met anyone as strong or as kind. He's the very definition of a good man, and I often find myself wondering what he would do in situations.

2. My uncle letting me drive a car when I was was seven. I think I shaved years off his life. It was fun and I have no regrets. I clearly survived to tell the tale.

3. It's not a hidden talent if I tell everyone.

4. A cat. Specifically, my little cat at home, Adso. I think he and I have similar personalities. I would also like to sleep all day in front of a warm fireplace, moving only to get food.

[dealwiththe]

An incredibly good sport, as always.

1. I don't think it's cheating at all. I'd hope your spouse is someone you admire. And I also often think about what my loved ones would do in various situations. All the time, really.

2. And back when cars still only went about 30 mph! Impressive. I knew there was a reason I liked you.

3. I suppose a lady is allowed to have a mystery or two. 😉

4. You may have a point, about the sleeping.

[helenite]

u can just say its karate

1. My late master. He taught me a lot about swordsmanship and fighting. He taught me how to push my body to the limit. He was such a hardass sometimes, but I don't regret a single minute of it.

[He does start to type something for the second question, but he deletes it promptly. Moving along:]

3. I'm a bullet hell pro.

4. A tiger. The apex of the food chain and a lone hunter with a real flashy coat. It'd also be pretty cool to have piss that smells like popcorn.

[helenite]

y r u smelling tiger piss

[dealwiththe]

1. Is that all your master taught you? How to fight?

3. I know what bullets are, and Hell, of course, but you might need to elaborate on what “bullet hell” is.

aq.

[helenite]

this is 2 truths & a lie rite ? 3 truths & a lie ?

[dealwiththe]

I don’t lie, so I’d be bad at that game, but you can play it however you like. What about “Never have I ever”? Not as fun without liquor but could be interesting.

p.h

[prinks]

1. A playwright I know, Aphra Behn. She writes what inspires her, not what sells, and weathers undue criticism for it.
2. Learning to hunt in the wilderness.
3. I suppose I've spoilt it; I can hunt with bow and arrow.
4. Surely this question is better answered by someone better skilled caricature than I.

WARDEN FILTER:

Another thing I fear you'll have to explain to me, Mister Morningstar.

[dealwiththe]

Aphra! She was fun. I loved "The Rover".

A movie is actually a bit like a play - but it's been recorded with technology, so you can watch it any time you like. You can check out a lot of them in the library here - watch them directly on your CommLink, too. You should come to movie night! There will be snacks.

[smugreport]

I thought we were done with these icebreaker activities?

[ but whatever he is bored and lonely ]

1. skip

2. I've been a visionary about the kinda person I wanted to be ever since I was a kid. I had a small business going even then and would make the kids next door play Office with me. I had little business cards and everything! It was great.

3. I don't hide any of my talents

4. Like, out of the entire universe? Uh, I guess one of those big cat types. Y'know. Grrrrr.

[dealwiththe]

I wasn't here for the last one.

2. Did you have any friends as a child? Serious question.

[Good news everyone, Loki loves to talk about himself.]

1. My mother. She taught me everything she knew of magic, and I think she may be the only purely good person I've ever known.

2. Hunting down a baby bilgesnipe with my brother when we were far too young to be doing such a thing alone.

3. I was trained in several styles of dance, when I was young. Though I suppose I haven't practiced most in quite some time.

4. I have been several animals, so it's difficult to pick just one. And I'd quite like to see what Miss Alice might choose for me.

[dealwiththe]

Okay but which animal was your favorite to be?
