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!

It's not really that sticky.

[businessinfront]

... Goopier, then.

[yablueit]

Not really even that, really. It's kinda hard to describe to someone who's never tried one.

Which, for the record, you totally should.

[businessinfront]

My face is fine.

[ But he's frowning, his shoulders tensing defensively. ]

[yablueit]

But it could be better.

[businessinfront]

[ He's taken by surprise, for a moment, when Lance doesn't immediately take that obvious opening he'd left. ]

... I ... really don't care. I'm sure that's hard for you to imagine.

[yablueit]

Dude, trust me, I so get that you don't care. I'm just saying, it's not as bad as you think, and you should try it before judging.

[businessinfront]

"Not as bad as you think" isn't much of an endorsement. And I'm not trying to impress anybody.

[yablueit]

Neither am—

Okay, wait, nevermind, but that's not why I do it! I do it for me.

[businessinfront]

Well, no one's more impressed with you than you...

[yablueit]

[ Lance just rolls his eyes. ]

Oh whatever, dude.

[businessinfront]

[ Keith just shrugs, like "what did you expect," but looks a little pleased with himself. ]

We have different ideas of a good time.

[yablueit]

[ Lance scowls a little at how pleased Keith looks. Here he was, trying to make an effort not to be a dick, and Keith is twice as much of a dick to make up for it! ]

Clearly.

[businessinfront]

[ That gets a frown, and he suddenly looks— uncomfortable. Shifty. ]

I don't care that you like it...

[yablueit]

Whatever, dude, clearly it's so far beneath you, you'd never stoop to try something new!

[ This is the stupidest possible thing to be annoyed about. ]

[businessinfront]

What? That's not what I said!

[yablueit]

It might as well have been!

[businessinfront]

How did you get that out of it?!

[yablueit]

When you won't even consider the possibility of trying something before you make fun of it, it kind of gives a certain impression.

[ Stop bullying him, Keith. ]

[businessinfront]

But you make fun of me all the time!

[yablueit]

That's not the same.

[businessinfront]

Last week you told me you held a seance for Whitesnake and they said they want their hair back!

[yablueit]

.............Well, yeah, but that was true.

[businessinfront]

See!

[yablueit]

That's a completely different thing! That's friendly teasing.
