These masks continue to be a pain in the ass, huh?

But I guess the alternative is being laid up in bed sick — which I don't recommend, in case you're feeling brave, because seeing the people who took off their masks isn't inspiring any faith here. As for me, I'm needing a little break from travelling around down there in all that questionable toxin. Not exactly my cup of coffee, you know? Prefer more open roads, more green and, uh. An ocean I can smell and not go into coughing fits over.

Maybe I'll just spitball some stuff to pass the time while I question what I'm eating from these kitchens? I'm feeling nosy. Call it an acquired skill set, being nosy. Back in the other place I was trapped in, I mostly gathered information about our bestiary; monsters from all kinds of worlds would fall into the world with us, and I did my fair share of fighting some pretty rough creatures. Including the killer rabbits that would try to sabotage my garden. They're small, fast, and aim for the jugular, FYI.

Anyway, pick a number, any number —

1. Favorite fairy tale, ghost story, or piece of folklore.
2. Favorite thing about the other worlds you've been to? (Least favorite, too, if you're feeling like getting it off your chest? I'm a crappy psychiatrist, fair warning.)
3. Ever run into people who know you from a book, movie, or game? Or, uh... manga?
4. War games — which do you prefer, and why?
5. Magic in your world: real or fiction?

I figure I'm being totally transparent, but I'm a big fan of information gathering. But it's also... actually really nice to be in one place long enough to get to know people. How often do you have the chance to learn about alternate universes? Small pluses.

1. Puss in Boots
2. Everyone lets little kids go everywhere it's quite annoying
3. All the time! I'm very famous
4. war isn't really a game, is it?
5. Fictional. It doesn't exist. Ever. Not even here. All in your imagination.

[Here's the liar, weighing in.]

[collegedropout]

1. Excellent choice. What other cat do you know that wears shoes?
2. I'm pretty sure certain little kids would go everywhere whether people let them or not...
3. In that case, do I get an autograph?
4. Not at all. Kind of scary sounding, isn't it?
5. But what about imaginary friends?

[flickerflash]

1. They all do! They're just really cleverly disguised as claws.
2. I don't know what you mean :D
4. At the very least, it should be taken very seriously.
5. There's as many of those as there are imaginary enemies. Try not to make any.



3. why can't I write on these things? It's very hard to give a signature if you can't write.

^._.^??

[collegedropout]

1. Smart. I'd never have guessed.
2. Of course you don't! .... :P
4. That's very true. But it's nice that these people only play pretend and not real war, isn't it?
5. I'll avoid imaginary enemies; luckily, I made friends with a few good ones back home.

3. That's a great signature. You should leave that at the end of all your messages! Maybe... Um...

....^----^
..\(=`w`=_)_/

???

[flickerflash]

1. I bet it will catch on and everyone will wear them one day.
4. Is a pretend war to prepare you for a real one or to pretend war isn't as scary as it sounds?
5. You made friends with a few imaginary enemies?

[That's totally not a deliberate misunderstanding.]

3. That's a much better one! Do you practice?

(2. ran away)

[collegedropout]

1. I'm always willing to try new things, but... I can't imagine they're useful for turning book pages. Or keeping toilet paper in one piece.
4. I think the second one. They don't want war, because they've had it before.
5. Oh, dozens of imaginary enemies. We started a bad guy group.
3. Every once and a while! You get bored on these things sometimes.

Are you putting our numbers out of order on purpose?

[flickerflash]

1. All it takes is practice!! you shouldn't be afraid to try new things
4. Do you think that's why the air is so horrid here?
5. Do you talk about how you drink too much or do you go out and do bad guy things?
3. is running away with 2.

87. I never do anything on purpose, you should know that by now :)

[collegedropout]

1. You're absolutely right. I need to broaden my horizons.
4. Possibly... I mean, they probably learned it was a pretty bad idea from that, huh?
5. No, but apparently we discuss playing air guitars or making marshmallow nachos.
(I always thought it tasted okay!!!)
3&2. See you later!

4506587. No, never.

[flickerflash]

marshmallow nachos! [Look at that, we dropped numbering altogether in favour of this interesting thing.] Did you ever make them? What were they like?

[collegedropout]

Of course I did! With imaginary friend supervision, of course.

[... Okay he was using the oven since he was younger than nine, but w/e.]

They were crunchy and sweet.

Maybe a little too sweet. Don't eat too many at once.

[flickerflash]

How long has it been since you had them? We should try and make them some day!

[She'll be the judge on how many is too many, mister.]

[collegedropout]

We definitely should. We'll make it a party!
