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!

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.

[businessinfront]

How is that friendly teasing?

[yablueit]

It— just is!

[businessinfront]

That's way less friendly than saying I don't want to put goo on my face!

[yablueit]

How?

[businessinfront]

Wh— b-because— I didn't say you putting goo on your face is stupid!

[yablueit]

And I haven't called your mullet stupid once since we got here.

[businessinfront]

[ opens mouth




closes mouth ]

I... guess that's technically true.

[yablueit]

So... whatever.

[businessinfront]

[ After a pause that's almost palpably uncomfortable: ]

... I don't know how to tell the difference.

[yablueit]

[ Lance makes a disbelieving, annoyed noise somewhere in the back of his throat, still scowling. But after a minute, his scowl softens into uncertainty. ]


...Seriously?

[businessinfront]

Just— forget it.

[yablueit]

[ Well, great, now Lance kind of feels like a jerk. He's silent for a minute, trying to figure out how to respond to that without jamming his foot quite so far into his mouth. ]




...You know I'm just kidding when I say stuff like that, right?

[businessinfront]

Don't... don't make it weird. I don't care that you hate my hair.

[yablueit]

I don't hate your hair, dude. And I'm not making it weird!

[businessinfront]

I'm just saying, you don't have to apologize!

[yablueit]

Well, fine, then I'm not!

[businessinfront]

Why are we even fighting about hair and facials?

[yablueit]

I—
