thisavrou | video; ICEBREAKERS

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!

I'm only doing this because Shiro said to. [~~Except it's also because Pidge doesn't want Lance to pout forever.~~]

1) If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be?
Chili pepper.

2) If you could meet any historical figure, who would you choose and why?
Marie Curie. Because she was the first woman to be recognized for her scientific discoveries, obviously.

3) What are your top ten favorite foods?
Chocolate chip pancakes, churros, chicken fried steak, seasoned fries, crispy bacon, brown sugar pop tarts, pretty much any kind of pizza, peanut butter cookies, my mom's pumpkin pie, and... I dunno, deep-fried cookie dough.

4) Share a description of your favorite material object that you already own, and share why it's important to you.
I guess... My brother's glasses.

5) What color do you think best represents you, and how does being that color make you feel?
Green, even though I kind of associate it with the forest and the outdoors. But I don't know, it just... feels right.

There. Done.

[He holds up the "a-okay" hand sign and grins in a rather vivacious manner.]

A wunderbar choice for meeting any historical figure.

What's deep-fried cookie dough like?

[She gives him a big grin right back. Kurt is safe to converse with, after all.]

Right?

Oh, it pretty much tastes like a giant cookie that hasn't fully baked all the way through. So the center is still soft and doughy.

[His eyes widen at the explanation, mouth dropping open in astonishment.]

That sounds ... amazing, actually. Do you eat it with ice cream? If not, you should!

And now, I want to make cookies.

[Her own grin grows excitedly.] You can! I mean, you could technically eat it with whatever you want, but ice cream with it would be amazing.

You should definitely make cookies. And keep them soft in the middle.

See, I chose ice cream because you can have the cookie and put the ice cream on top and it just goes perfectly with the warm dough ...

[Wow, okay, this honestly needs to happen because the idea is almost making him salivate.] What kind, though?

[Her mouth totally watered. But at least she's not outwardly drooling yet.] That seriously sounds so good right now.

Peanut butter cookies are one of my favorites. But you can't really go wrong with chocolate chip.

[Kurt is already making a mental note of ingredients to pick up for this baking session. Perhaps Hunk and Pidge could come visit the mansion this time?]

Making a choice, though ... What about both? That way we don't have to choose.
