I stole this game from the Fantasy forum, and we've sort of been playing it on Twitter, but I thought we could do it here too!

Basically, ask a question. It can be as simple as "what music do you listen to?" or as complex as "you wake up in the middle of the night screaming. What were you dreaming of?" ...ok that wasn't very complex LOL. Just ask anything!!!

The next poster will answer the question as their main character. They will then ask a question for the next poster. With only 6 sleeps to go (if you don't count Saturday night), it could be fun to start getting into your character's head/characters' heads.

Now... first question!

What is currently in your pockets?

Currently in my pockets is a pack of playing cards and a set of locksmiths tools.

You have a length of rope, a metal pipe, a pair of pliers and a thick piece of wire. What are you going to do with them

Hmm, most likely I'm binding a tasty morsal of a human to a chair and am about to spend the next few hours with quality torture time before removing their throat and lapping up their blood.

Question: You've just been thrown off a balcony. What did you do to make someone that annoyed with you?

I've had the unenviable luck of being pulled through to another world by accident. Apparently they frown on that sort of thing here.

Question: Your friends have shaved your eyebrows while you were sleeping. What is your reaction and how do you retaliate?

Well, I had friends who did that once. Yeah, used to know them. About ten minutes ago.
Too bad they got peroxide in their shampoo bottles.

What are you afraid of the most?

Ok. This thread is wicked confusing to navigate. Perhaps writing the question above your answer will help. At least, that's what I'll be doing. Now... ~channelling~ my MC...

I'm wearing a skirt at work but I have a knife in my hair and a gun strapped to my thigh.

I'm going to keep the rope for a while. Use the pliers for torture (no details, this is an all ages forum), and the wire for getting through locks and what not with the help of my pliers. I might even tie up someone I like if I don't want to kill them.

Those that rebel against the Institute would see me thrown off a balcony. I simply enforce the way of life of our people. They are the ones that should be thrown off a balcony.

Fame. To win that massive role i know i was born to play. I know i have talent. I'm probably the most talented actor ever not seen, and i'm sure the minute i get that one role to define my career, every single person who told me i couldnt act (pretty much every person i've ever met) will eat their words and inundate me with apologies, praise and outright sucking up... I've believed this whole heartedly my entire life, and to be honest i've never let myself consider anything else. if you doubt the only thing you've ever known, what do you have left? your entire existance is about as important as a urinating llama...

What traumatic childhood memory have you carried into adulthood?

sure .. in a charming, endearing, lovable ... yeah.

I watched my father kill my mother, the blood of her and her unborn babe seeping into the earth that she had nourished, and in turn nourished our people. Our people, not his, even though his was the hand that held the blade that twisted in my mother's heart.

(OOC: yeah, real cheerful, I know.)

If he's gotten out of prison my father, otherwise my old partner, my maid and my nemesis. That and my finest liquor I intend to talk the time away with good food and good drink.

You've just been blackmailed because of a decision you made when you were 18. You have the oppurtunity of doing three things and making it go away, taking it to court or a method of your own devising (please explain), what choice do you make?

I can't remember anything back past my teens and you only know this because I trust you immensely and you'd never mention it without me mentioning it first.

I want my whole squad by my side. I know Reese my 2IC will be there definitely. We have a special bond.

I would destroy their life with my access to the Institutes's mainframe. They don't know who they're messing with here. If that fails. I'll kill them. Simple. (I probably wouldn't know what this decision was)

How would you spend a cold, rainy afternoon/evening?

My main character's name is Hajime. He looks up to his best friend Yuusaku, but obviously things change during the storyline.

Quote:

I have pockets? The clothes I'm wearing are the same clothes I've been wearing for the past year. They're little more than cloth that covers my body and protects me somewhat from the cold.

Quote:

These have the makings of a good spear. If I can twist the wire and sharpen one end to a point, mount it on the pipe somehow ... use the rope to make grips ...

Big bro Yuusaku! I thought you were my friend! ... Why is throwing me off a balcony for my own goooooooo .....

Quote:

Who the hell shaved my eyebrows?! Is this another mean-spirited prank those damn bullies are playing on me?!
*look around* damn them ... I have some good berries that cause horrible stomach cramps ... let's see how they like berry juice later .... hehehe

Quote:
What are you afraid of the most?

I'm afraid ... of everything. But most of all, I'm afraid of what would happen if big bro Yuusaku chose to hate me ... what would I do if he abandoned me?

Quote:

Traumatic memory? ... Most of my childhood, I got beaten up by bullies ... and then big bro Yuusaku beat them up to get them back for beating me up. I don't really remember anything horribly bad.

Quote:

My big bro! With him by my side, we can do anything together! We'll stand against the armies of the world, and come up the greatest under heaven!

Quote:

Afternoons are for either sleeping, or training. Training in the cold and the rain would be excellent training to toughen up my body.

What's your character's most treasured possession?

Someone once told me that the best things in life aren't things; I thing that happened while I could still remember things normally, but naturally I can't be sure. Anyway I've taken that to heart more than anything else has said to me. Dreams, my neighbour Greg and of course, Alice.

What thing do you fear the most? The fear of something particular happening doesn't count.

Cats. I've had an irrational fear of cats ever since my instructors tried to explain Schroedinger's Cat. Wouldn't the cat be angry? What must cats think of being used in this manner? Though only a theory, the blasted fear remains.

I would find the person who did, hope to god that they were some kind of shifter and kill them, after making them send me back.

What would you be thinking about if you found that you woke up and found yourself nailed to the wall...literally, an iron bar through your palm and a spot light shinning in your eyes?

Had to answer this one. Because I'd want my mummy by my side... especially since she's the one causing the apocalypse...

I would of course choose a long hunting knife. I would also have in my hair my razor sharp hair pins but they don't need to know that they are a potential weapon!

Our tenth birthday party. The last time the five of us were together. Birthday Day was the best day, we all got a full day off, to celebrate with the other children. We celebrated the last of February every year, though most years it wasn't actually our birthday. I picked the green cupcake that year, and then we all played hide and seek. I was always the best at hiding.

The blue pill. My life is strange enough already. I want out of this madness, not deeper in. If that means a little delusion, so be it!

This has happened to me a couple of times... It was pretty awkward, they were all like "Hey, Izzy!", which they should know pisses me off a bit - so they wouldn't have called me that if they actually knew me. But I've never had them be able to prove they know me. If they did, I'd be a little creeped out and probably tell them to stop stalking my Facebook.

You've got 3 hours on your own: you can either spend it with your significant other (if you have one), listening to music, reading a book, watching a movie, or doing something that you can only do in your universe. What is it that you do?

Well, considering I can't even find her, I'll stay with spending it with my significant other... Well, at least I think she's my significant other.
