Raincrow What are your feelings about tea? Quote: Shigure smiled at the question as the microphone was passed on to him once more. "At last, a sensible question. Tea is the wine of good health," a smug look came over his face as he said this, as thick as lard. "Tea is calming with a slight stimulation; green tea especially. It heals the soul." Shin made a face beside him, poking his tongue out like someone had just suggested he eat a live tarantular. "Blerh, yer kiddin'!" he excalimed, screwing up his face in disgust, "Yer green tea tastes like yer boiled a few hundred ants in washin' detergent! Wine, my a**. Maybe the relly cheap stuff, not good wine." Shigure glared at him. "And what would you know about wine?" "Lotsa stuff." Shin seemed to think this was enough, because he said no more. Shigure sighed at him, and then turned back to the microphone. "Well, tea cleanses your body and brings you closer to the gods," he concluded, ignoring the sounds Shin's incesent imitation wretching. "Some people just don't appreciate it."

Ooare Do you believe in aliens?
"Well, sure I believe in aliens!" Yinda piped, "I've seen 'em. They're all blondies and most of them have funny accents. And some have these funny brown finger-print things on their backs. Sabine says they're called birthmarks and not just Northies have them, but I'm not so sure..." She was quiet for a moment, trying to see if she had anything more to add. She eventually decided she didn't, and passed the microphone to Sabine.
"What a strange question to ask," Sabine muttered, though the microphone picked up every word. She raised her voice to a more normal level and said, "I'm with Yinda. I've seen foreigners with my own eyes before; there's nothing really strange about it. Why shouldn't I believe in aliens? You could say Vitae's an alien, since he's from Central. Yinda's from Western and Nathan's from Northern, so I guess we're all aliens here, right?"
Vitae took the mic next. "There really isn't much left to say. I, too, believe in aliens. I should hope whoever wrote that prompt card does too, unless they live in a highly isolated and possibly xenophobic country."
The microphone had to be held for Nathan, as he happened to be on his hands and knees, searching the floor for his lost button. "You know, I really don't appreciate the label 'alien' any more than 'Northie' or 'hex.' Just because I was born in Northern doesn't give you any good reason to treat me as less of a person!" He stood and dusted himself off, his expression sulky. "Oh, this is just great. I'll never be able to wear this vest again!"
Have you ever experimented with drugs?

Raincrow Have you ever experimented with drugs? Quote: "Definitely not," Zhao said, quietly. He gave Janus a level stare before passing the microphone on to her. Iris coughed nervously. Janus blinked. "What're you bastards staring at me for? I don't experiment with drugs." Iris snorted and burst out laughing, pulling a handkerchief out of her sleeve and chortling into it until her face reddened. "I said I don't experiment with drugs," Janus continued, undaunted but annoyed, "I've got it down to a science, you see. No experimenting involved at all." Iris was still in a chuckle fit and managed to shake her head as the microphone was handed to her, letting it get passed on to Leon. "No," Leon answered, simply. "What're those?" Kasume asked. "Drugs? Is that, like ... um, it sounds like one of those funny deserts that they sell at those restaurants at the north side of town and when I go to look they yell at me 'cause apparently I'm a bum and you know I've got white hair and if you're a bum with white hair you can't look at stuff."

erikakaiser Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?!
What types of books do you like to read?
"Poetry, mostly," Vitae said almost at once. "I prefer a good, solid classic. The drivel the printers churn out these days is tasteless and overwritten at best."
Sabine smiled sheepishly as the mic passed to her. "I don't read much, actually. It's mainly just, you know, herb books."
"I don't read!" Yinda announced proudly and tossed the mic to Nathan.
The mage unfortunately didn't see the microphone coming, as he was busy removing his damaged vest and smoothing out the shirt underneath. The mic hit him squarely on the side of the head with a loud thomp and sent him staggering sideways. "Augh! Yinda, for the love of--"
"Language," Sabine chided, shaking a warning finger at him.
Nathan, scowling, took a deep breath, exhaled, and picked up the mic. "I read romance novels," he said, his voice balancing perilously close to sulky tones.
"He reads slush," Vitae corrected.
Nathan rounded on Vitae. "It isn't slush!"
"Any book that uses the word panmixia outside of a scientific context has to be slush," Vitae said with a matter-of-fact shrug.
Yinda looked up at Sabine in confusion. "What's panmixia mean?"
Sabine waved a dismissing hand. "Oh, never you mind that. Actually...come to think of it, I don't know, either."
What are your opinions on dragons?

Raincrow What are your opinions on dragons? Quote: Shigure smiled whistfully to himself. "Those, oh, those were the days. You would see them all around, way back. And then they all just... disappeared." His companion seemed to consider this for a moment, a concerned frown on his face. "That kid... Yehvone... he's a dragon, ain't he?" Shigure looked surprised at Shinneri's observance on this occasion, and nodded at him. "Yes, he is. Well, I say dragon... he's a demi god who takes the form of a dragon, really. And it's Yvon, actually." "Yeah, yeah... he says it Yeh-von..." "Well, he is Chinese, Shin, not French like he pretends to be. He'd only read the name in books when he chose it." "Yeah, yeah, I get ya, Bakako." "I told you not to call me that!" "'Tis a perfectly good name... uh, maybe you'd better pass the thingy-ma-jiggy on... Eep!"

As the microphone found its way to Seishak, he snorted a little. Clearly, he was about to say something demeaning. "Love is for stupid, weak bastards," he stated loudly, basically daring anyone and everyone to contradict him. Even among the others in his own group, he got some heated glares and a few half-started arguments before he held up his hands for some quiet. "And keeping that in mind, I am a stupid, weak b*****d for loving someone, so shut your mouths!" Carelessly, the microphone was tossed over to Kail, who fumbled with it for a moment and caused it to squeal loudly in feedback. Wincing at the noise, he looked at the object in disdain before speaking into it as he'd seen his descendant do just a moment ago. "There's a lot of different types of love. Parents love their children, a person loves their pet, and lovers, obviously, love each other." The overly-feminine man shrugged and passed the mic over to the next person in line. Do you have a good relationship with your parents?

Rimbaum Do you have a good relationship with your parents? Quote: "We get along pretty good, I guess," Janus said, shrugging. "Haven't seen 'em in a couple of years, though." "Drek and Kakurine are not your parents," Iris protested. "Who asked you? And they're good enough. Drek hits me on the head when I swear and Kakurine bakes me cookies, that's what parents are for." Kasume lit up at this and Janus gave him a nod, so that she was probably repeating something he'd once said. Iris rolled her eyes. "Oh, whatever," she muttered, grabbing the microphone. "I haven't seen or contacted my parents in years, our relationship is and always will be at a standstill." She hesitated as if about to elaborate, but instead just passed the mike down the line. "Dead," Leon answered, bluntly. "Did not know my father." "Christ on a bike, learn some English," Janus hissed. "The question was whether you had a good relationship with your parents, not what happened to them." "Relationship?" Leon repeated, awkwardly. "Did you like your parents or not, Merkin?" "Oh," the other said, taking off his hat and shoving it in a pocket, seemingly for the sole purpose of running his hands through his hair nervously. "Yes, and probably my father too if knew him. My mother Anna is -- was -- very nice, did try very hard. Right?" He looked to Janus for confirmation that he'd answered the question right, and she gave him a quick, sarcastic thumbs-up. "Yeah, I like Drek and Kakurine a lot!" Kasume said, through a grin. "They're kind of small and whatnot and this one time I tripped over Kakurine and accidentally fell and knocked a hole in the wall but the hole is fixed now so I mostly don't even remember about it except for, like, right now when I'm talking about it." Iris frowned. "Drek and Kakurine are n --" "Take your voice of reason and shove it up your a**!" Janus yelled, cutting her off. She turned to Kasume, flashed a force smile and motioned for him to pass the microphone on to the next person.

erikakaiser Do you have any superstitions?
"Those things don't work," said a scruffy-looking young man, who merely peeked into the room before disappearing again.
Yinda stuck out her tongue at the doorway. "Shut up, Jericho. Now where was I? Oh, walking under ladders, that's bad luck. And stepping on frogs, too, and breaking mirrors. And walking on graves, and going into temples that are on top of graves. And dead people. Dead people are lots of bad luck. But spoons! Silver spoons are good luck. And wishbones, too. I have a whole collection of wishbones at home. And shiny coppers. And you get good luck for putting money in the donation plate at the temple, but only if it's a temple without dead people underneath. Spitting on the ground sometimes helps to keep the bad luck away, but some people don't like you spitting on their floors. But anyway, if you get too much bad luck, then when you die, you go to a bad place. But if you get more good luck than bad, you don't have to go to the bad place."
" 'Harm not the trees,' " Vitae quoted solemnly as the mic came his way. "Nature is the Creator's sacred creation, and should be treated as such." He held the mic out to Sabine.
Sabine planted a fist on her hip and stood up very straight and important. "I'm not superstitious. I go to mass every Sunday."
"I don't put any weight in either luck or religion," said Nathan, "I'd rather depend on my charm and good looks to get me through life."
Do you frequent the theatre?

Raincrow Do you frequent the theatre? Quote: Gerard Damián smiled snidely. "Dear child," he purred, straightening the folds in his red coat, "I am the theatre. I dare anyone to tell me that the Janothor Performing Arts Centre would be even half as good as it is today without me." His companion, apparently a large humanoid cat in a tuxedo with a snooty look to his feline face, snorted in contempt. "Without you! Your operas never make any money! Why, you wouldn't even be employed if it weren't for Invasion." " Invasion! Rock opera my eye! All they do is prance around the stage to some catchy- but this isn't the question." Gerard sighed, rearranging his thoughts. "We virtually live at the theatre, myself certainly. Monty here travels around with his Awful Troupe." "Pawful, Gerard. Pawful Troupe." "Well, they are awful." "Shut up."

Quote: Who is the most obnoxious person you know? Ashen accepted the microphone, but took a moment before answering. "The most obnoxious person I know...?" She repeated the question slowly, as if tasteing it. "Uh...Darius. He's this guy that seems to think that every female mind revolves around his sex parts." Have you ever attempted to/thought of/succeeded in stabbing someone?

Ashen_Rose_Petals Have you ever attempted to/thought of/succeeded in stabbing someone? Quote: Akiru peered around, checking his surroundings for safety before continuing. "Well... I haven't. But I'll tell you something: most of the people I know have. They don't operate by modern society's rules, I think," he said in a quiet voice, before leaning forward further. "I'll tell you a freaky story. You know Shigure; he was here until a few minutes ago? Yeah, well..." He considered his situation for a few moments, and then frowned uncomfortably. "Let's just say he won't be getting robbed again anytime soon, if that guy actually managed to walk away. Kemuri was going to tell him off for stabbing someone in front of kids my age, but Shigure just glared at him, and that... that usually shuts him up."

Quote: "Kids smell," Janus said, bluntly. "******** that s**t." "Honestly, Janus, that's horrible! I love children. They're our future," Iris started, a sort of forced sage-like tone coming across in her voice. "I mean, of course they can be a little difficult at times," she continued, shifting her eyes around to reassure herself that Gabriel wasn't present to protest, "but they're our hope." "Well, isn't that just sweet," Janus snorted, rolling her eyes and fishing in her pockets for another cigarette. "You know what, Janus? I'm tired of your pessimism! You're just trying to be -- I mean, you're always --" "I'm what? I'm what? You can't even insult someone properly, you goddamn --" "Don't you swear at ******** you!" "Quiet!" Leon shouted, hoarsely. The heads in the room slowly turned to him. He stared at the two: Iris slouched down in her seat, eyes wide, looking like a scolded kitten; Janus stuttered the beginnings of an argument for a moment, but cut herself off and remained sullenly silent. Leon cleared his throat, realizing the attention that was on him, and gave a nervous chuckle. "Like children, I like children," he said, quietly, quickly passing the mike on to the next person. "Kids are funny!" Kasume said, cheerfully. "They're like small little people but, well, I guess they are just small little people, like miniatures, only they're not toys and they're not breakable like the miniatures at the store. But, well, I guess they are breakable because if you dropped a kid would they break? I don't know, that's a gross question, isn't it?"

erikakaiser What are your thoughts on ... pirates?
"I believe the question refers to the sea-faring sort," Vitae said.
Yinda waved a hand excitedly. "I like pirates! At least, I like the pirates in stories. Most people say they're bad, but I think they're just misunderstood."
"What would you know about pirates?" Nathan scoffed, "You've never even seen the ocean."
"Yeah, well, neither have you!" Yinda retorted, and stuck out her tongue. "I think piracy would be fun."
Nathan crossed his arms. "I think pirates are a ragtag group of glorified gutter-trash with no sense of fashion and who bathe even less frequently than Jericho."
"And what would you know about pirates?" Yinda asked, mimicking Nathan's earlier question with a superior look. Nathan scowled at her.
Sabine cleared her throat, trying to draw attention away from the squabbling pair. "From what I've heard of pirates, I think they're all mislead and ought to find more productive, socially acceptable occupations," said Sabine.
Yinda muttered something along the lines of, "You would."
Vitae shrugged as the microphone came to him. "Pirates, like all of us, are individuals who made a choice sometime in their past and must now follow through with it. Yes, they often do terrible things, but since we ourselves can't change them, we have only to be thankful that we live far enough inland that we will never have to be worried by them."
"Yeah," Yinda said brightly, "That's it. What Vi said."
Nathan rolled his eyes. "You didn't understand a word of it."
"I did too!" Yinda snapped. "I'll kindly explain it to you if you didn't understand, though."
Nathan scoffed. "I'd like to see you try."
"Just ignore them," Vitae muttered as he passed the microphone along.
What do you think of magic?
