[Q+A] The Question Game...

[skinstealer]

welcome...to the question game. we've played this on discord MANY times, and now it is time to bring it to the forums. the name of the game is simple: team members can be asked questions about their characters, and the questions will be answered. some team members like to answer with just one character, some like to answer one question with multiple. here are the rules.

1) a team member can walk in and say "i am answering questions about [x]." it can be a group of characters, it can be any of their characters, it could be specific ones. team members can also pick randomly, or do it however they want. the main takeaway is: a team member will saunter in and announce a session of the game is beginning, and who they are answering questions for.

2) anyone else can ask questions at this point, team member, audience member, or otherwise. keep your questions SFW for now (though we will probably open a NSFW question game thread eventually). it's up to you what you want to ask, but the team member(s) may request specific things. if multiple team members have a session open, please write down who the questions are for specifically (though multiple/all are fine). team members do not have to answer all questions.

3) have fun, and feel free to leave commentary/discussion/follow up stuff as well! this is a discussion thread, after all!




and now the ultimate blogging question game begins...we'll start

TEAM MEMBER: ringor mortis
CHARACTERS: Random Rin TCPs
TOPIC: Anything Goes

[MarxzVulpez]

I know there's only one going on right now but I'll still specify:

Rin: What's something they like about their partner(s) if they have one (or multiple). if not, even if it's something small, What's something they like about themself?

[skinstealer]

>What's something they like about their partner(s) if they have one (or multiple). if not, even if it's something small, What's something they like about themself?

only one of these TCPs has canon partners so we will work with both questions

ABIGAIL, no project- i feel like abigail has many weird lovers across her travels but no consistent partners. she's a rambler she's a mover she's a shaker and she does NOT commit. she likes people who are willing to be just as flexible and don't mind things being short-lived and spontaneous. as for what she likes about herself, pretty much anything if you ask her to her face. she's very confident.

REFILL, no project- refill is a very excitable person who needs someone to keep up with her energy, but her worries can be a bit much for people sometimes...as for what she likes about herself, she enjoys the art she makes and the ideas she uses for that art.

UNNAMED JELLYFISH TCP, no project- no partner, aroace. it likes that it's a good listener, even if it feels like it isn't able to help in other ways.

RAGGEDY, FriendZoo/Felid Factor- no partner but secretly really really Really wants one someday. would really like someone who can endure The Extreme Amounts Of Toy And Virtual Pet-Based Autism he has. a lot of these TCPs are about matching energy honestly but yknow, that can be important to a lot of people. he likes his creative streak!

ALIAS, Felid Factor/FriendZoo- has two partners, foil/tricky and remmy. he really loves that remmy is a big sweetheart, and while it can be overwhelming for him at times, he really likes how foil pushes him into new territory and adventures...most of the time. he doesn't have a whole lot he likes about himself, but if you asked him genuinely he'd probably mutter something about work ethic.

[skinstealer]

new round!

TEAM MEMBER: tiffany mortis
CHARACTERS: any of tiffany's characters (will probably use all, there are 5)
TOPIC: anything goes!

[skinstealer]

another round...will be going for a while! algor has a pretty decently sized pool, so get hype.

TEAM MEMBER: Algor Mortis
CHARACTERS: Random Algor Characters
TOPIC: Anything Goes

[skinstealer]

new round now that we're pulling ourselves out of the muck

TEAM MEMBER: algor + cocoa mortis
CHARACTERS: Random Characters (for both)
TOPIC: Anything Goes

ask us things and you will receive

[Shifter55]

How would any of your characters react to having to walk around a city district for the day?

[skinstealer]

>How would any of your characters react to having to walk around a city district for the day?

AUTOMATON, Algor's, from Supercyber- this is already automaton's daily life, seeing as it makes its living as part of a street gang that roams around one of the infinite digital cities in supercyber itself. still, it has places where it prefers to go and others it doesn't- personally, it seems to veer more towards where people work on vehicles and tech. it likes the smell of oil and all of the noise, even if database (its link) gets irritated by the audio clutter.

SOFTIE, Cocoa's, from Kaleidoclub (Toybox System)- softie doesn't front much when it comes to the more external toybox members, but would probably linger around shopping districts and look in all the windows. if there was an animal cafe, they would probably be tempted- but feel bad about spending money on entry, and just look from the outside in. 

WHISK, Cocoa's, no project- hmm. we don't have a lot down for whisk yet outside of a concept of what her whole Situation™ is and we don't want to spoil too much of that. but...we think she would probably end up in a place full of strange and mysterious things to see, and maybe get into a bit of trouble. she's prone to wandering and getting lost, so for her sake, i hope she has some kind of map or a phone.

MARSHMALLOW, Cocoa's, Assisted Living Project That Needs A Real Name- marshmallow already lives in a big city, haven! she would get up to huge trouble for sure, but more on purpose than whisk. her whole reason for leaving the facility is to cause problems on purpose, so i wouldnt be surprised if she was going out to somewhere she can get a rise out of people easily or get up to shit on a "cartoonish antagonist" sort of level. stealing candy from newly spawned TCPs in the park or something.

BOBBIN PIN, Algor's, Felid Factor-  bobbin has never left their home. if presented with the ability to actually go outside, away from their mother, they would be completely overwhelmed regardless of whether it'd be a city district or somewhere more isolated. all the same, they would probably get caught up in wandering, and return home with interesting stories.

[skinstealer]

TEAM MEMBER: all of the mortises

[skinstealer]

- If they were given a blank piece of paper and a pen what would they draw? Bonus if you want: How well would the do?

CROSS- monsters, clearly. she isn't super skilled at drawing but is technically skilled enough to do fashion sketches, so maybe a blend of the two? ideas for costumes, maybe...

LAURIE- probably posters for upcoming events. he's not the most technically skilled but the spirit is so prominent that everyone loves it

MIASMA- saucy drawings of him and his partners to be sent in letters, they are crude but very effective and heartfelt

SCOUT- wildlife drawings, he'd most likely want to be out in the field for this. he wants to make a field guide of monsters someday, and puts a lot of care into this stuff

MARLOWE- flowers, lace, abstract patterns. very skilled.
 

---

- what is their morning routine?

MIASMA- wake up, put on makeup, down a shake, see what needs to be done for errands for laurie

LAURIE- wake up, spend like an hour getting dressed, eat breakfast at the cafe before it officially opens, spend as much time as he can warrant looking over paperwork and organizing people in the network's duties

FATALE- sleep in, roll out of bed, lament the fact that her system doesnt have any nice fancy clothing to wear, get as far away from tim as possible and forget to eat breakfast

MARLOWE- wake up, dress himself up but have trouble deciding outfits (jesus christ we rolled all of the fashion gays), harass featherweight about what he should wear, contact laurie about what needs to be done for errands and outings

CINDI- wake up, get some early morning exercise in (punching bag, jogging on her treadmill, stretches), pick out an easy outfit, eat some granola bars and go to work
 

---

- How would they celebrate new years?

DEVO- probably stay in and try not to be bothered by fireworks and partying. might invite tim over to cuddle and maybe celebrate a little.

ERSON (hehehe future character)- On Duty, absolutely on duty at his job as a field medic. probably DIRECTLY at the laurie's new years party so that he can patch up any drunk/high partygoers who trip and fall or some shit

CROSS- invite polka for a dance and feel better having someone there to share this with

POLKA- spend time thinking a lot. but also, dancing with cross

SADDLER- throwing the world's worst new year's party with a lot of politician and high roller "friends". extremely nasty shit ensues.

---

- If they had to pick a weapon to defend themself against someone, what would they pick?

DEVO- knife. kitchen knife, every time. is it the best knife? absolutely not. is it what he and the other bears are most skilled with? yes, and with the narrative behind every swing, that counts a lot.
 
CINDI- fists- or hooves, i guess.

TIM- well, as seen in the project, gun was his first pick, but he's a sword guy now.

ERSON- owns a scifi ray gun. does not like to shoot people, but will if he has to protect patients on the job, or himself/his other medic colleague.

KATIE- big amy rose style hammer
 

---

- And a joke one: Would they watch hallmark christmas movies? Hate watching counts.

CROSSBONE- yes, but hate watch with the rest of the plaything party (not sure if roulette would come but the offer is there)

KATIE- yes, thinks theyre corny but says "it gets you into the spirit!"

"MONSTER BEAR"- Absolutely Not. he would dissociate immediately, especially if "family" is a theme. would much rather watch a horror movie.

MIASMA- yes, hate watch. makes a watchh party over it

MARLOWE- also hate watches, featherweight cant stand it and tells him to turn that shit off PLEASE

[AceOfNothing]
