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's... a lot more thought than I put into the vegetable question.

omg yes keith

[shadowblends]

Do you think it's too much? It's just-- I mean, I figured being specific would give more of an idea of who I am as a person.

time to meet the in laws

[businessinfront]

No, no. I'm just... not sure how other people are this good at vegetable psychoanalysis.

oh shi-- here's to hoping i make a good impression

[shadowblends]

Oh, uhm ... I don't know. I cook a lot, so maybe it has something to do with that?

Did you know you can make chocolate cake with avocados?

[businessinfront]

Really?

[ He frowns, dubious. ]

That sounds... [ be nice, be nice ] ... healthy?

[shadowblends]

Disgusting, [he corrects, drawing a hand up to muffle his laughter.]

It's okay. [A shrug.]

I was nervous at first, too, but I made some triple chocolate muffins with them once and wow-- you'd never imagine something like that ever tasting good.

[businessinfront]

You're right, I wouldn't. Can you— I mean— does it still taste like avocado?

[shadowblends]

Not at all! It tastes like chocolate through and through.

[businessinfront]

Then what's the point of the avocados?

[shadowblends]

People who are lactose intolerant can eat them? They're dairy-free.

[businessinfront]

[ This is the baffled, uncomprehending stare of someone trying to work out how avocados can possibly be a replacement for dairy. He's... not so good in the kitchen. Is he being pranked? ]

[shadowblends]

[Oh, good golly. He hasn't broken him already, has he? No prank here for once-- honest! Kurt's not completely sure how it comes together, but it's a recipe he's tried and for some reason, avocados and chocolate mesh well.]

I know, it's really weird, but it just works.

[businessinfront]

Huh. I'll have to talk to Hunk about it. My skill level kinda peaks at sandwiches.

[shadowblends]

What kind of sandwiches? I've seen some rather interesting concoctions.
