video; ICEBREAKERS

[yablueit]

Helloooooo ladies, dudes, and various other genders, identities, and lifeforms! Some of you may already know me, but for those who don't, my name is Lance, and today I am comin' at you with some ice breakers! A couple of my friends who shall remain nameless but know who they are are really bad at socializing and are in need of new friends. And I figure, if they are, there's gotta be other people out there who are just as bad, right?

So here's the deal! I'm gonna read some questions, and you guys can answer them! And then you gotta talk to two people you don't already know. I don't count, but talk to me anyway!

Go into as much detail with these as you can want, because they're gonna help you make new friends.

[ He clears his throat, and starts reading. ]

Number one! If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be?
Number two, if you could meet any historical figure, who would you choose and why?
Three, what are your top ten favorite foods?
Four, share a description of your favorite material object that you already own, and share why it's important to you.
Annnd five! What color do you think best represents you, and how does being that color make you feel?

[ He takes a second to copy and paste the same questions in a text format along with his video for ease of answering, then grins into the camera again. ]

Everyone got that? Cool, now go meet somebody!

1) If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be? Wait, are potatoes a vegetable? Because definitely potatoes. But if they're not, then black beans.

...Wait, are beans a vegetable?

2) If you could meet any historical figure, who would you choose and why? Yuri Gagarin! He was the first person from my world in space, so that's pretty awesome, right? I dunno if we'd be able to talk much, because he's from Russia and I so don't speak Russian, but it'd be cool either way!

3) What are your top ten favorite foods? Pizza, garlic knots, my buddy Hunk's spam fried rice, empanadas, fries, tres leches cake, burgers with extra bacon, corndogs, mozzarella sticks, barbecue potato chips, and, believe it or not, caesar salad!

4) Share a description of your favorite material object that you already own, and share why it's important to you. I don't own a whole lot of stuff here yet, but definitely my Paladin bayard? It's this totally cool weapon that interacts with my Lion, and transforms into an energy rifle. And it's important to me because being a Paladin of Voltron is important to me! Plus it's totally badass.

5) What color do you think best represents you, and how does being that color make you feel? Blue, obviously! And it makes me feel awesome, because blue is the best color even if it wasn't also the color of my Lion.

Leeches cake?

[Golly. How dull.]

1) If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be? Something poisonous, no doubt.
2) If you could meet any historical figure, who would you choose and why? The first primate that had the grand idea of getting on two feet and walking about like a human being. I would kill them and put a preemptive end to the entire species.
3) What are your top ten favorite foods? See question number one.
4) Share a description of your favorite material object that you already own, and share why it's important to you. I have a rather sharp Knife in my possession. It's red.
5) What color do you think best represents you, and how does being that color make you feel? My favorite color is blood.

[pidge_out]

I am boycotting everything about you.

[yablueit]

Tres leches! It means three milks, because there are three different kinds of milk in it!

[yablueit]

Oh come on! I didn't even name drop you or Keith! The least you can do is participate a little.

[yablueit]

...Cool, cool.

So, you're definitely one of those "has trouble making friends" types, huh?

[businessinfront]

You just did!

[yablueit]

Yeah, but only because Pidge is being a spoilsport!

[inconsequence]

Why, whatever do you mean?

[They're a completely well-adjusted child between the probable ages of nine and thirteen. So very definitely non-threatening here.]

[pidge_out]

This is stupid. You can't make us do this, anyway.

[shiro2hero]

So it's... extra milk cake?

[yablueit]

Nobody's making you do anything. I just thought it'd be fun.

1) If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be?
I... don't know. A jalapeno? Wait. Artichoke.

2) If you could meet any historical figure, who would you choose and why?
Maybe... the guy behind the original Roswell cover-up?

3) What are your top ten favorite foods?
That's ten questions in one, pass. [ But, after a beat... ] I miss Pop-tarts. The pink ones.

4) Share a description of your favorite material object that you already own, and share why it's important to you.
No.

5) What color do you think best represents you, and how does being that color make you feel?
Red. It's the fastest color. [ It's hard to tell if he's serious. ] I... guess it feels pretty cool. Haven't given it much thought.

Seriously, is this actually the kind of stuff most people think about?

[businessinfront]

how do you not know what a vegetable is?

[yablueit]

[ Lance has siblings and cousins between the probable ages of nine and thirteen. He knows there is danger here, though he may not have an accurate idea of just how much danger. ]

idk the blood and poison stuff is kind of a tip off

[redshitlord]

Uh, easy?

They so don't exist where I'm from, dude.

[yablueit]

Okay, artichoke definitely makes sense for you, dude. Also, raspberry pink or strawberry pink? There's a very important difference in Pop-tart classification.

Anyway, no, but that's the point. It makes you stop and think so it's not just the usual "this is my name, this is my age, this is where I'm from" boring introduction stuff.

[brokeassgoing]

What, not B.D Cooper or Sasquatch? You're taking history for granted, man.

[shiro2hero]

Hey, works for me.

... good idea, by the way.

[inconsequence]

Perhaps I simply have an interest in the medical field.

[businessinfront]

Oh.

[ Think before you talk, Keith. ]

... plants? You have those?

[businessinfront]

Cherry. The pink frosting.

And now everyone knows you're a potato. How does that make you feel?
