Time for another round of "Ask the Characters!"

[nute.livejournal.com]

Yes, everyone's favorite meme, open to player and audience participation as well! Most of you have played this game (or the home version), but for those newcomers, it's simple: Post a question for any character in the game, and get it answered in and/or out of character!

Anyone's welcome to participate, ask as many questions as you like, as often as you like. Have fun!

Hrm. Okay, lesee.

Kurt (also, Lorna, Terry, anyone who applies to the religious part, Catholic or not): How do you balance being a devout practicing Catholic while being around people who do things that your faith teaches are commiting sins? (Jay, for example) And how do you balance the Catholic requirement for mass with the fact that at any moment you could be called into duty as an X-man and unable to worship?

Cain: What IS your shoe size, anyway? Seriously, where does a guy that big get things likes clothes, shoes, etc?

Jim: Do the personalities come into conflict in little ways as well, like likes/dislikes in food/clothing, that sort of thing? How disruptive to your normal daily life is it?

Sam: What in the holy hell did you major in, Guthrie? Inquiring minds want to know. Where did you go to college, anyway?

Remy: Any further progress on the finding things you actually know you like/enjoy? If so, what?

Lorna: Does cilantro taste like soap to you? (Legit question. It does for some people, and not others.)

Sofia: What do you think of New York City?

Shiro: So, do you have asbestos underwear, or just go commando under the uniform?

Shoe size is a 22 quintuple E. That's five. And for the record, I get most of my clothes from the Husky Man outlet store in Salem Center. Dry cleaners in town make any alterations I need, especially for my suits (66 Long, if you're keeping track).

That's some big ass feet.

No, it doesn't. It tastes like cilantro. However, I'm no more fond of it than Forge is these days. Magneto is entirely too fond of the stuff. The taste reminds me of playing canasta. Not to mention other even more horrific things. The smell makes me a little bit nauseous to tell you the truth.

Um, I'll have to get back to you on the Catholic thing. The only part that I can answer in less than 1000 words is the called away to duty thing. It's long been tradition that travellers have dispensation. I usually will hit morning mass if I miss Sunday but I don't worry too much about it.

"I'm fond of it. A little less insanity among my co-workers would not go amiss, but at least the take-out is good."

("After the death of my mother, and my uncle's reaction to my mutation, it was necessary to reevaluate my faith. I've decided to take it all with a grain of wheat.")

Marie-Ange, Kitty, Wanda, Doug: Aftermath of "Germans" - how're you coping with what you've been involved in?

Sarah: Back in New York - how do you feel?

Crystal and Kevin: verdict on your first month(s) in the mansion?

Forge: are you ever planning to talk to Amanda about those issues of yours?


More later when I can think of good questions. :)

[nute.livejournal.com]

IC: Only once I've officially confirmed that burning witches *is* in fact no longer legal...

OOC: ping me on this when I get home tonight, woman!

[ferox.livejournal.com]

Clarice: So, your boyfriend is a crackhead. How's that going?

Forge: teeheejennie.

Remy: So, is it just because she's a shrink? (haha, yes, it is all about me)

Marius: OMGWTF?!

...okay, I'm tired, how did Frito do this?

[nute.livejournal.com]

Tee...hee...Jennie? Do you know something I don't?

Oh my god, you girls are talking, aren't you? There is Girl Talk happening! It's about me, isn't it?

I'm so doomed. Dooooom.

[ferox.livejournal.com]

Paige: But then what will we have to gossip about?

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

I just...do? I don't really know. It's not really my place to judge anyone. I have enough faults of my own to be worrying about others. And...some things I don't have the same views of as the Church does.

[silensy]

Karolina: So, flying huh?

Alex: I'm covering her ears and eyes. Tell us about how you feel these days about your ex-girlfriend.

Tommy: Same circumstance and question.

Everyone: What's the best thing about being where you are right now?

[stinaleigh.livejournal.com]

Reader/lurker here

Kyle: HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID?!?!?!?

Jay: Do you really have to leave us? Kyle was just being stupid and 16 and I think he really loves you. Or alternately, I'm sure that the staff would assign a different room for you.

[deathpixie]

IC: Only once I've officially confirmed that burning witches *is* in fact no longer legal...

And yet I remember a log where Forge expressly told Amanda not to use her magic to do anything stupid re Charlie after the fact...

OOC: ping me on this when I get home tonight, woman!

*grins* July 19 is the anniversary of a certain event, too...

[alasdair.livejournal.com]

>>>Everyone: What's the best thing about being where you are right now?<<<

Pete: Absolutely fucking nothing. It's hot, it's full of howling mad bastards, and I have to figure out how to kill one of them and get away undetected as a favour to bloody Mossad.

[deathpixie]

Everyone: What's the best thing about being where you are right now?

Amanda: Learning to live my life on my own terms, without trying to fulfill any expectations that aren't mine. Yes there's the atoning and the guilt for last year, but no-one is pushing me to be anyone else but who I want to be, and that's good.

That and I'm actually enjoying having a job that doesn't involve table service. ;)

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

That would be because I'm a damn idiot, actually. It's called 'thinking with your dick'. She was hot, she was all over me, and I wasn't thinking with the large head. The shit thing is, I barely remember most of it.

semi-OOC: No, I really don't love Jay. I care about him, I feel shitty that I fucked up, literally, and he's miserable and leaving because of me, but love? Not really.

ReallyOOC: Kyle's a sixteen year old boy with more hormones than sense. And he's really not mature enough for love, much less a long-term relationship. Add on top of that, that he's really not very gay, or even very bi, and it adds up to the relationship ending eventually anyway.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

As always, trying to pretend it wasn't as bad as it was, and not thinking about it.

In a few weeks, deciding that proaction is better than reaction, and despite the ugly things that were done, it did more good than harm to stop it before it started, rather than try to stop things once they had started.

[x-legion.livejournal.com]

They do. It's not so disruptive anymore, but sometimes I'll be in the middle of painting and forget what I was doing, or trying to do paperwork after a long day and be possessed by an overwhelming urge to play with Hot Wheels. I just take a deep breath, quote from the Bhagavad-gita, and it passes. ...or I wake up an hour later eating crackers with Moira. It depends on how stressed out I am. My inner child can be obstinant.

Cyndi does think I dress like a dork, but if it were up to Cyndi I'd have so many piercings I'd never make it through the average metal detector, so I mostly just ignore her.

I do still have the occasional moment when I realize I don't like to smoke a split-second before I take a drag, though. That's . . . kind of annoying.

Three things at this point.

Novels by Arturo Pérez-Reverte. Started because you can buy them at any airport in Europe, found himself intrigued by the intermixture between mystery/conspiracy and elements of art and literature. The mystery part he's usually got figured out, and the art side drags him into different things.

Wikipedia. As a followup to the novels, Remy spends a lot of time looking around various things on the net, and likes wikipedia for that. Remy's training gives him a basis in many things, so he still treats it like research. The reality is that he's starting to get reasonce from certain things, which is where personal tastes start.

Photography by Leo Touchet, especially his work in the South and in New Orleans during the late sixties and early seventies. A woman recognized his accent in a bookstore and persauded him to by a book of his work.

[x-gambit.livejournal.com]

Non. It's because I'm in a vast amount of pain constantly, have actual work to do, and the last thing that I need on top of that is some flaky head doctor asking me questions about my maman.

[x-gambit.livejournal.com]

Everyone: What's the best thing about being where you are right now?

The pillowcase full of painkillers that I've got stashed in my office.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Free housing? Not having to deal with gossip because half the problem left and moved himself to New York City? Ask me this again in a few weeks because right now I'm not very content at all.

I'd answer the question for Marie-Ange's mental state as well, but it's complicated. The removal of the psionic scarring has her in a weird place right now. She's more emotional, less aloof, and very, very angry, and channeling most of it at Doug. I don't know that there's a 'best' thing about that.

[frito-kal.livejournal.com]

Kyle says there isn't a damn thing wrong with Hot Wheels no matter how old you are. Vroom. But then, this is also the guy who eats more animal crackers than the average five year old and still bites their heads off every single time.

[silensy]

Lorna's fond of Hot Wheels as well and she's older than Kyle.
