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!

Perhaps you should have tried in the first place before issuing your judgment.

[Conspicuously not answering the question, hypothetical or no.]

voice

[shiro2hero]

Uh huh. Sure thing. Definitely gonna keep that in mind forever.

[Why this.]

[redshitlord]

Dude I hope you don't walk around with dirt blobs in your chests.

... yeah Hawke showed me potatoes. By the way.

[inconsequence]

You are hardly in any position to say for certain. You seem to have been making an awful lot of assumptions in the last few moments alone.

voice

[shiro2hero]

Goes both ways there, Chara.

[inconsequence]

I followed your illegitimate child's instructions. If you've some manner of issue with that, I suggest you simply say it, rather than smothering me with vague platitudes about how I should relax.

[SUPER RELAXED, RIGHT HERE]

voice

[shiro2hero]

We're not related.

How's that for saying it?

[shadowblends]

Well, I have to admit, it was kind of fun. A good distraction from the ... dramatics on the outside.

I thought so, too! Lucky find, I'd say.

[witchweird]

Sweet is always popular. You're interested in food?

[frostedplum]

The whole universe? Really? They must be a widespread race! Are they trying to enslave people?

[frostedplum]

They could have been pressured to by the government in order to keep people from panicking.

[inconsequence]

Perhaps you should learn to prioritize what needs saying, on top of it.

voice

[shiro2hero]

Wouldn't that be nice.

[This is probably one of the few times, he's going to thank Eternal Fatigue. Hard to lose your temper when you're this wiped out.]

What does a weather drone do?

voice

[inconsequence]

[One might assume he hardly cares, with how completely the wall of his exhaustion has mired him in apathy.]

I daresay it would be.

[unaffluent]

1) If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be?
Why would anyone want to be a vegetable or know what vegetable they would want to be if they were one?

2) If you could meet any historical figure, who would you choose and why?
Marilyn Monroe because I've had a crush on her forever.

3) What are your top ten favorite foods?
I don't have any...

4) Share a description of your favorite material object that you already own, and share why it's important to you.
My tarot cards. They were given to me by someone special before they died. I'm pretty sure she made them.

5) What color do you think best represents you, and how does being that color make you feel?
How does a color represent anyone?

[frostedplum]

Oh, it helps me take readings on weather conditions, but I've also rigged it to release a blizzard in a small area. It's a powerful little thing.

[witchweird]

[That gets Wanda's full attention, since she's been waking up inside of a snowdrift for the last several days.]

A blizzard?

With snow in your eyebrows and wind roaring in your ears and visibility of zero?

[shadowblends]

So, do you just like pasta or do you mean something specific, like macaroni and cheese? Oh, and why is jello ruined for you?

[shiro2hero]

Um... both, actually. I've missed macaroni and cheese for a long time though. So probably that one.

Where my team and I were, that was, basically, the only food there was.

[shadowblends]

I've made homemade macaroni and cheese before! It turned out rather delicious.

Oh, uhm ... that would get rather tasteless after a while, ja. I wouldn't be able to only eat jello, that's for sure.

[frostedplum]

Pretty much! It's amazing how precipitation can come from such a little thing.

[shiro2hero]

You're way ahead of me. I've got to ask Hunk nicely if I want any.

[He's kidding -- Hunk probably has it on hand almost constantly.]

It wasn't exactly jello. Just. Really, really looked like it.

[shadowblends]

I'm sure he would make you some! Hunk is--

[He pauses, head tilting in thought.]

You know Hunk? [Oh, right, they were talking about jello.]

As in had the gelatinous form of it?

[shiro2hero]

Yeah, he's my teammate. And lives with me. You know him?

[Good! Hunk making friends. That kid deserves all the friends in the world, as far as Shiro's concerned.]

That's exactly what it was. Green goo.
