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.

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.

not here

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

[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.]

[dealwiththe]

[ He also immediately switches to flawless Farsi. ]

Where'd you learn the languages? Do tell!

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.

Farsi it is!

[lessandmorethanhuman]

[Well, that was a bit of a surprise.]

Military. Rather not go into it honestly. Although the Spanish and German were from school and university.

[None of which is a lie.]

[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.

[reek]

[ Well, now he wonders why he even asked when he doesn't actually care. ]

My older brother had the same face. I thought he took after my father, but perhaps it's something reserved for all first-borns.

[ He has to think about it for a moment. He's more envious of others than he is admiring of them, he didn't have a particularly happy childhood, he is never so shy as to hide his talents, and he wouldn't be an animal if he could.

Your questions suck, Lucifer. ]

Offer me another set of questions.

[dealwiththe]

I'm sure there are a lot of things you don't want to get into, but you'll have to, regardless. Did you think you'd coast to your graduation, Alex? Good intentions enough to sail you to the finish line with no discomfort?

[lessandmorethanhuman]

Not at all. I'm not afraid of hard work, but it'd be nice to know what they'd qualify as 'redemption'.

[dealwiththe]

[ His questions don't suck, you just need to get into the spirit, Theon! ]

I think it may be a universal older-brother thing. Does he also get that line on his forehead, when he scowls?

All right, a few more to stimulate the gray matter.

1. If you could instantly become an expert in something - one thing, anything - what would it be?

2. What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given? And/or the worst?

3. If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?

[dealwiththe]

Hard work doesn't always mean physical work. Sometimes it means the hard work of facing your own emotions.

"They" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Your redemption is something you're going to have to figure out - with help from your warden. And that is going to mean opening up about things you don't want to deal with.

[lessandmorethanhuman]

That requires a lot of trust--and that's not something that'd easy to do.

[dealwiththe]

Trust is never easy. But you said you're ready to do hard work. Does that include taking risks?

[lessandmorethanhuman]

[There is a long pause.]

I picked up Farsi from the military guys I clashed with, as a side effect of the virus. I'm not contagious, given how they have us brought here and shit.

[There, risk taken. Because oddly, Alex has started to trust Lucifer at least a little.]

[nineteenfortyfive]

Can't have the devil being the only one encouraging this sort of thing.

I'm a good driver as an adult, mind you.

[dealwiththe]

But hopefully you don't drive like a grandmother just because you are one.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Hopefully you don't need to find out.

[reek]

He did. He died some time ago.

[ He doesn't like these new questions any more, but he'll humor Lucifer this time. ]

1. Wardenship.

2. Yield.

[ Not that he took that advice. ]

3. I've no opinion, so long as it's well seasoned.

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.
