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!

That would be the popular theory. I get it, I guess, but it doesn't totally hold up. The average person can handle a lot. In my experience, anyway.

[frostedplum]

I guess they can if they need to.

[ She sounds a little skeptical, but then again, she's from a world that went through a war with omnics and continues to have skirmishes with them today. Some humans just don't like to handle being around them. ]

[businessinfront]

You don't sound so sure.

[frostedplum]

Well, everybody is different. It'd be too boring and predictable if everyone was the same, wouldn't it?

[businessinfront]

Sure. I guess that's what makes people hard to predict, too.

[frostedplum]

That's true. That's why I like things like this, where we can all get to know each other. We don't have to guess at things.

[businessinfront]

When you put it that way...

... But I still think the vegetable question is weird.

[frostedplum]

[ That makes Mei giggle. ]

Yes! I didn't know whether we were supposed to want to be eaten or not. I went with not.

[businessinfront]

Right. That's part of why I thought of peppers and artichokes.

[frostedplum]

Oh, I like peppers. Not too sure about artichokes, though.

[businessinfront]

I've only had one once. They're hard to eat. The leaves are pointy, and there's not much on them worth trying to chew off.

[frostedplum]

Maybe I'll try it once just to say I have. You never know what you'll think of something until you try it.

[businessinfront]

Yeah... I guess I'd rather try something and not like it than not know at all.
