aww yeah it's question meme time
Time to bring back one of my old faves...
Simple and easy! Here's how it goes:
1. POST a top-level with your character name
2. REPLY to other people's top-level with a question for that character
3. ANSWER the question you were asked
4. ASK a question of that person's characters in return!
We go back and forth like this asking questions in a thread until one or both of us runs out of questions!
QUESTIONS CAN BE ANYTHING. Serious or silly as you want! What does Jane think of (x)? What does Sarah have for breakfast? How many times a day does Alex masturbate? What's Tom's dream job? The only limit for questions is your imagination.
Replies can be as monosyllabic or as tl;dr are you want; it's up to you. Go wild kids!

Kotetsu T. Kaburagi
Re: Kotetsu T. Kaburagi
Annnd if he could choose to send one person in MoM home, who would it be?
no subject
And perhaps cause less property damage. Maybe. The multiverse hopes.Aaaaas for the second, at this point that would probably be Jaime! He's (as far as Kotetsu knows, ofc) just a normal kid with a happy life and family, so he'd rather he go home to his own world than continue to deal with Heropa's shit, especially since they've bonded in the past over how crappy the government is and all. Jaime's p. much the only one he knows well enough aside from those of his world to even say he wouldn't be sending them back to a craphole (as in the case of the AoTs) or death, and he knows Barnaby would probably kick his ass if he sent him back without him, and he'd miss him too much to do it anyway.
If Jaime was offered the chance to go home (no way to take his friends with him, and no guarantee he'd even remember them), would he take it?
no subject
Jaime would absolutely not take that offer, though it would pain him to do so. It would be much more difficult to answer that question if Brenda wasn't around, but Jaime won't go anywhere without Brenda if he can help it. They're a package deal. Where he goes, she goes, or else he ain't going. He would, however, assent to send Brenda home in his place (and then she would probably reject that offer and possibly punch him for it). Even if Brenda weren't around, he would be extremely hesitant about taking the offer and would probably eventually reject it. He's all about Responsibility, and with the way things are going down, he'd feel too much like he's jumping ship to do it in good conscience.
AND BACK ATCHA. What's Kotetsu's favourite thing about Heropa?
no subject
And lmao, Kotetsu mostly resents Heropa because it's basically like his world, but shittier. Like, not in an active 'I hate being here' sense because he doesn't, but he still wants to go home and definitely would rather have never been here in the first place. `_` Pretty much the only thing going for it in the actively positive direction is that he's not losing his powers anymore, which means he can still do his job! Though it gives him conflicting feelings about his retirement back home, oops.
Does Jaime ever wish he could have some privacy in his head from the Scarab, or that he wasn't the only one who could hear him?
no subject
And... lmfao oh god, the Scarab. Yes, he wishes for privacy quite regularly! These days, if he ever got close to power nulls and they silenced the Scarab, it would freak him right out, but that doesn't stop him from wishing for privacy... especially with anything to do with teenaged hormones. :') The last thing anyone wants when they're trying to have some quality time AHEM AHEM is a robot voice going WHOA HEY THERE YOUR HORMONES ARE DOING WEIRD THINGS SHOULD I LOG THEM? I WILL LOG THEM VERY LOUDLY IN YOUR EAR -- WHY ARE YOU STOPPING. PLEASE CONTINUE. MORE DATA IS NEEDED.
So yeah, I imagine Jaime had to sit down with the Scarab and explain to it that sometimes, he needed not to hear it, including that, in the middle of the night or early in the morning when the Scarab got bored, etc., etc.. He wishes that other people could hear the Scarab only occasionally, mostly because it's not fair to the Scarab, but is selfishly happy that they cannot; if people could hear everything it said, he'd be put under constant watch.
IMPORTANT QUESTION: what kind of teacher is kotetsu?
no subject
AND I THINK, he's the sort of teacher that students tend to be like 8DD EASY A with, except there's no grades in power-tutoring hahaha. He would be absolutely terrible at discipline, and if he weren't the sort of person who could win respect with how earnest and caring he is, kids could easily trample all over him.
He's 100000% positive reinforcement. He'll always find something positive to say about the kids' progress even if he's privately thinking what are you even doing oh my god, like how when he visited the academy and was inwardly like 'these powers are all fucking terrible' he was still like YOU HAVE A GREAT SMILE!!!! I think he probably gravitates most toward the kids who are the least sure of themselves wrt their powers, the ones who are like he was and don't really want to deal with them in the first place. Honestly, he probably doesn't have that much to offer those that are more naturally talented, since he himself is a learn-by-doing sort of guy who can't really teach fine-point precision.
Also he's totally that teacher that tries too hard to be cool and relevant to the kids and leaves them groaning and rolling their eyes, why this Mr. Kaburagi
GONNA SPRINGBOARD OFF YOUR QUESTION and ask, what does Jaime look for in a teacher! does he have any imPort teachers in Heropa and what does he think of them if he does?
no subject
And yeah, he'd probably be one of the students rolling his eyes at Kotetsu. He's a nice kid, but he tends to hold people at arm's length, and attempts from teachers to reach out to him as an imPort have been mostly met with him patiently bearing it and then leaving as fast as he can. He got quite a bit of it after being locked up and he basically just said "yessir" or "yes ma'am" until they left him well enough alone.
Hassss Kotetsu made friends with any of his coworkers yet? I'm sure bits and pieces of the xavier academy is a clusterfuck
no subject
but the ic answer is more like he's generally friendly with whoever he runs into when he's at work but he hasn't made any particular effort to get to know them or hang out there beyond work hours so, not really. Emma is his housemate and he's still an awkward turtle around Jesse
what a surprise huh? :Baaaaand that's it.Jaime's immediate & long-term goals for MoM?
no subject
Long-term goals: Try to push back against the government! Find out what's going on with all this spy shit! Find a way home! ALL THE HERO THINGS
okay we've asked each other plenty of questions LAST ONE: back atcha, let's hear kotetsu's goals.
Re: Kotetsu T. Kaburagi
NO BUT why does he care so much about looking cool
no subject
THIS IS ALL REALLY WAYYYY BELOW HIS LEVEL OF AWARENESS THO. Kotetsu doesn't realize he does any of this shit. The other part of wanting to be cool, the part he's actually conscious of, is much more straightforward: he saw Legend as cool, and Legend exemplifies everything he wants to be as a Hero, so naturally he wants to be cool too. It's also kind of part of his desire to be a good dad and get approval from Kaede? He says mid-series that his dream is for her to call him cool.
If you asked him this question IC he'd probably be confused, lmao. all, BEING COOL IS A GOOD THING??? EVERYONE WANTS TO BE COOL, WHY WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO BE COOL...........
Are there any adults Wally thinks are cool?
no subject
YEP WALLY THINKS QUITE A FEW ADULTS ARE COOL but kotetsu isn't one of them sorry dude
ur like his uncle barry
minus the coolness barry occasionally has
THEN AGAIN WALLY THINKS DUDES PRANCING AROUND IN SPANDEX WITH DUMB CODENAMES ARE COOL SO HIS SCALE MAY BE A LITTLE OFF KILTER
Does Kotetsu have any family from home that he misses? HONORARY FAMILY COUNTS
no subject
no subject
He does deeply respect all his coworkers back home and really anyone who chooses to be involved in their line of work, and some might even win his admiration in the future, but honestly I don't think he could ever have that level of adulation for anyone ever again. Because when he met Legend, he was just a little kid, a ten-year-old who felt lost and alone in the world, and Legend gave him a reason to believe in himself and something to strive toward. It could be said that Legend gave him his very identity, and Kotetsu doesn't really need that anymore. He's 37, and he's got a life and a family and sure he still has his self-worth issues and insecurities, but he's not that same scared child who desperately needed to be told he wasn't a monster. So imo, Legend will always stand apart from all others he ever comes to admire, if only for the fact that none of them were there for that critical moment he was given a reason to hope.
Which ties into the second part of this answer, because if he were to revert to being a child, it would depend on what age he was reverting to. If it were before the incident in the bank, then yeah, he could easily latch onto the first Hero that gave him that same kind of comfort and reassurance. Or not even necessarily a Hero--it's very possible that he could, especially if separated from his family, have gone the way of Kriem if he got his first taste of acceptance from a less than savory type. If it were to a point after the moment with Legend, he could look up to other Heroes and find them cool and everything, but they wouldn't be as awesome as Mr. Legend okok!!
SO KIMBLEY. Just how excited is he about the war brewing on the horizon? What are his plans in that regard?
no subject
no subject
AS FOR VIGILANTISM, in canon he was very NOPE about it, but in game he's a lot more accepting...in a sense. Which is to say, he literally does not give a fuck if someone is unsettled and fighting crime anyway, bc Heropa's government is so shitty :') He still doesn't believe in Lunatic's brand of vigilantism, tho. So basically it comes down to a question of the character's intentions and methods. If the only part that's not legit is that they're not registered they have Kotetsu's full blessing hahah. u_u
Is it weird to Marco that other people have powers and don't have to worry about hiding them? What would he do if a Yeerk showed up?
no subject
While he gets people are more used to show off their powers, Marco is still insecure about his own powers (mainly that people will find out his weaknesses and exploit it) and doesn't openly talk about it just yet. Eventually he will chill out and become a glory hound about it, but in the mean time he's just going to pretend he's a normal kid with a normal life with pretty lame powers.
Well, if a Yeerk shows up, it would be hard for Marco to tell because who knows if they will be with a brand new body of their own or with their human body from canon that they infested. If it is a human controller Marco is familiar with, you can bet Kotetsu's hat that he's gonna stalk em and plan a way to starve them out and free the human.
What's the deal with Kotetsu's hat anyway?
