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!

There's only one of them here, and technically he's not even really one of them, because he's probably mostly human, and anyway, he's on our team.

Which means it's kind of like a vacation for all of us.

[frostedplum]

Mostly human? Wow, humans can successfully mate with other species?

[ Mei, your science nerd is showing. ]

[yablueit]

Apparently! It was kind of news to all of us, too. Him included.

[frostedplum]

Ohhh, that sounds like there's a story there! Would he be all right with you telling it to others?

[yablueit]

[ Lance frowns, considering this for a second. ]

...Actually, come to think of it, I don't know if he'd be super cool with me telling people he's an alien at all. Sorry.

[frostedplum]

Whoops! Well, you never said his name, so you didn't give it all away! And my lips are sealed anyway.

[ Though he did say he was part of the team, so if Mei learns just how many people have lions that make a giant robot, that will sure narrow it down. But she's no snitch! ]

[yablueit]

[ Lance knows it's not exactly hard to figure out, but he appreciates the sentiment nonetheless. ]

Well, thanks. I'm Lance, by the way.

[frostedplum]

I'm Mei! It's nice to meet you!

sorry about this garbage child

[yablueit]

Nice to meet you, Mei.

[frostedplum]

[ Lance, aren't you a teenager? Mei's too old for you. And is that a flirty tone she detects? She's just going to... go. ]

Umm, right. Well, thank you for the questionnaire. It was a good way to mingle with people. I mean, a general mingle. Not any other kind of mingle.
