Question and Answer Time

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Ignore the date on this, it is, for once, quite irrevelant.

Today brings you-our-readers (and players too!) a round of "Ask the Character."

The idea? You ask the questions, we answer them. In character.

Comments

Okay, here are some.

x_avier: don't you sometimes wish you could have a school without a Manuel de la Rocha in it?

x_cassidy: What would you say if you found out your rebellious teenage daughter dates a FoH?

x_catseye: What now? Plans on trying if you can change into EVEN BIGGER CAT?

x_crowdofone: How's Skippy doing?

x_cypher: No daydreams about...err...visiting Canada? Or have you just learned to be discreet about it?

x_foliate: Do you have plans yet for the things you will change when you have taken over the X-Men? Also, planning to visit Dr. Samson again anytime soon? Don't you sometimes secretly think it is Sarah's fault that Jono went kabooom?

x_forge: When you make a new collar for Catseye, will you make one for Rahne, too?

x_polarisstar: This is a little complicated. Apart from the villain side to it, is it discouraging that there is already a mutant out there who is perfect with all the stuff you are still exercising? Shouldn't it be helpful that there is lots and lots and lots of info about all the neat tricks you might be able to do, in the files and danger room simulations? Why don't you use those ressources more? Or do you?

x_rahne: Don't you get tired of everyone telling you how sane you are?

and finally, Miles: sounds silly maybe, but I was wondering: what is your favorite season?

When you make a new collar for Catseye, will you make one for Rahne, too?

Catseye's collar was a great way to get her to stay human more often and that way, be able to go to class and socialize more. Rahne hasn't asked about one, and honestly - the girl just mentioned being able to break bones with her teeth. I'm not even going to mention the concepts of "Rahne" and "possible nakedness" within hearing distance of each other.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Every so often, Forge is very, very smart.

[ashenmote.livejournal.com]

That's actually a very good reasoning, I have to admit.

[x-rahne.livejournal.com]

Actually, I think 'tis kind of funny that I probably spend more time without clothes on than a lot of the girls who are... more relaxed about showing their bodies. Amanda and I were even kidding about it when she had some sort of ritual that had to be done naked in cold weather.

But I've got the transitional form, and usually don't think of that as being too immodest as long as the fur is thick enough, although maybe I ought to considering... erm. Oh dear.

I'd like to be able to shift from all the way from human to wolf, or more importantly wolf to human, without having to worry about clothes, but I've not really liked to ask. It seems rude, without really being able to do anything in return, especially after the talk about your maybe not being able to patent things if a mutant power counted under methods not available to most people. I'm not sure I quite followed.

Gah. Cleansing rituals. I still say someone with an evil sense of humour came up with being dunked in a stream starkers was a good way to purify your spirit. *snorts* And there's a word you thought you'd never seen in reference to me, 'purify'.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

I haven't really thought about her in a while.

Its sort of like a out of sight, out of mind kind of effect. As long as she's still in Canada, I don't have to worry about it.

If she were to ever come back (without short, growly and homocidal), then I would probably have to go have a very quiet nervous breakdown somewhere.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

He's dead. Also gone, which, a lot more different concepts than I used to think. You show up at this place without an open mind and the universe takes the freaking Jaws of Life to your skull, I gotta tell you.

I'm not going to forget him, and I now know more random trivia about the Brotherhood than I ever wanted, but hey, that's why Doc Samson brings the Krispy Kremes.

Well, okay, he brings the Krispy Kremes to eat with his coffee, but he's nice about sharing. Either way, I don't think Skippy's coming back in actual, y'know, reality. Thank God.

Also--I know that question wasn't meant for me, but--dude, an even bigger cat? Don't put ideas in her head! Some of us have to help keep the refrigerator stocked!

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

I am offended that you get donuts.

[x-forge.livejournal.com]

*I* get donuts. He doesn't offer you donuts?

[ashenmote.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't want to see him come back in reality either, but maybe I thought he deserves better than just being dead, with all the bad cards he got dealt. Dunno, just a little gesture, like maybe, a valkyrie with a 'we apologize for the inconvenience' greeting card or something.

Hey, it's a long and arduous way to get there, but when she is the Cat That Eats Tokyo you don't have to worry about the fridge anymore.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but if she eats Tokyo, Shiro will go all disgruntled again, and he's actually fun to be around now. :)

He got a funeral? And I learned from his bad hand, which once his brain wasn't melting in his skull was what he wanted . . .

[x-catseye.livejournal.com]

Catseye, turn into an even bigger cat?

Catseye would never even think of trying to do that. Oh noooo...

*purr*

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

You're very lucky I like you enough to come out of my hole cease my finals studying for this...

1) Of course I do. There's a folder in my filing cabinet marked "X-Men Plans (for when I become captain)". The tag is red and right by my personal logs on my mutations and the extensive logs on the other people in the mansion.

Needless to say, my filing cabinet is kept locked.

2) I have had two sessions with Samson already. They were fine. I drank tea.

3) Surprisingly, no. I would have thought that to be my (secret) thoughts too, but so far I've found myself unable to. Believe me, I've tried. It would be much easier to blame this on Sarah -- I certainly have many other reasons to back up the feelings -- but somehow I just keep blaming it on myself instead.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

You Disneyland Me! GO!

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

ARGH.

Well, I guess I can study in Disneyland as well as I can study anywhere else.



Hold on, I'll go write up an official e-mail type thing.

[ashenmote.livejournal.com]

I like you too! I would make a fan page for you, only I'm too scared of hacker attacks.

1) Ooh! Are you going to tell me one thing you will change? Just one?

2) Hmmm, tea. I have new tea that tastes of orange and licorice!

3) Shame. It would have been so reasonable. In the loose sense of reasonable, anyway.

[x-foliate.livejournal.com]

Silly. Who would hack a Paige fan page?

...no, seriously. Have you seen the people I have on my team? They'd be doomed.

1) Other than making sure certain people had a permanently broken nose (let me give you a hint, starts with H, ends with aroun) you mean? Nono, I jest. Besides, he makes Alison happy and that's all that matters.

No, I'd improve the trainee regulations etc. Set up solid rules, plans, make some order. They're trying very hard, but they have other things to do and these are different situations than what they had to go through.

2) I'm still all for the vanilla with nutmeg. We'll pretend instead of me being boring I'm... steady. Like a rock! Right.

3) I know! Trust me, I really wanted to blame it all on her! I mean, I still blame a lot of things on her, but if we're being honest, my going off to Magical Land was what set him off in the first place; her leaving just happened to be the straw on the camels back so to speak.

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

It's not discouraging, per se. Just…actually it's scary. He's got this phenomenal power and really insane control and I mean, I know how good I am and the things I can do and…he's better. There is no way he can't be. So when it comes to training…

It's…a little bit of column A and a lots of column ew, actually. I mean, Buckethead is really really scary good at what he does. And I have this sneaking suspicion that should we ever meet he'd not only wipe the floor with me he'd do so with glee. On the other hand, five minutes around him would teach me sooo much.

Yes, I train from what we know about Mags and actually, you guys out there never got to see it but Jamie and I had a long conversation about what Buckethead can do with just his powers after Skippy was finally resolved. And wow, some of it is stuff that I will never ever be attempting to learn. Other than that, part of my training definitely comes from what we know and other parts don't. I don't want to be a Mags clone and I kinda think that being too much like him is just asking for trouble.

I'm totally babbling. Someone shut me up? Or ask me something that isn't making me think about how we're really lucky he's held back so far?

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

What's your favorite recipe, he asks obediently?

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Oooh, a research question! I might have to get back to you on that. Something dessertish I know.

(You know what the best part about this being outside of the game proper? No voice to textness!)

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

x_cassidy: What would you say if you found out your rebellious teenage daughter dates a FoH?

SHHHHH!

[x-traitor.livejournal.com]

More like what is this FOH gonna do when he finds out he's dating a mutant.

Excuse me while I gag then take a shower...make that ten showers...

[x-rahne.livejournal.com]

Not tired, exactly, but baffled and a wee bit worried that I'm giving a false impression. Well... I think I'm sensible about some things where I don't think other people would agree if they knew all of my opinions.

(Belatedly)

[x-cassidy.livejournal.com]

I worry about a lot of things for Theresa, but who she dates isn't one of them. For a start, she takes after her mother, and the first time I met *her*, she laid me out cold. I think Theresa would do the same to any stupid wee bigot that gave her reason, and I don't think she'd knowingly date a bigot unless she maybe had some hope of educating him, and generally teaching him better.

Would I prefer it if she never got hurt in love? Of course I would. But it's going to happen, and I'm absolutely sure she's got the strength in her to cope.

Of course, if the stupid wee bastard does anything to her besides hurting her feelings, he's going to wish he'd never been born.
