aww yeah it's question meme time

Time to bring back one of my old faves...

the QUESTION meme





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!

What would David rather be doing then helping other imports? Or would he rather really be doing anything?

it's tough to say. at his point in canon, he'd gotten so tired of the drama and trauma of the superhero game and everyone in it that he quit and just wanted to be left alone. of course, circumstances ended up dragging him back into it, and circumstances in game wouldn't allow for him to stay out, they always have. from the start, he never wanted to be a superhero, but he did want to change the world for the better. he used to dream of being president, but he'd just think that's naive now.

he could easily get a job at whatever tech firm he wanted, but even when he needed something he wrote it off quickly. there was nothing really special about it, it's just something he's good at, but there are so many varieties of things he's good at. it would feel like a waste when there are more specialized people already doing it.

but the career services job, it at least means something. it's a half-step from social work, and even though it's frustrating and a trial on his patience, anything's going to be. he mostly took it at first because he figured it'd give him a springboard to find something better, but it's kinda grown on him. helping people find work does give him a kind of satisfaction at the end of the day, and he's okay with it.

of course, it also doesn't pay for shit, so he did end up getting a tech gig with malachor industries on the side. guy's gotta pay the bills, plus he's working with a hot jedi knight. so that's a bonus.


BECAUSE I FORGOT TO ASK ONE BEFORE does ward have any plans to turn his reputation around?

what part of his own world does david miss the most?
xpostate: (pic#7768386)

[personal profile] xpostate 2014-10-15 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
home.

i think he lost touch with them somewhere between the move to sanfran and the foundation of utopia, because how do you play that off, how could he make them understand it? "yo so we're seceding nbd!"

after utopia, the only place he was more reluctant to return to than chicago was new york. new york means pretending that everything that happened in the last few years wasn't a big deal, it means getting dragged back into the same game again. chicago means having to face his family after, to confront things he's ashamed of and regrets. it means trying to face his mistakes, and sort out just which decisions were mistakes in the first place. he's scared of that.

it probably would have been his eventual next step after everything with the young avengers, and he misses them terribly. but he's not sure he's ready for it, either.


for loki, how embarrassing would it be if thor ever hung with the ya?

;;; david

UM.

WHILE THOR WAS WORTHY HE WAS PROBABLY PRETTY EMBARRASSING thor hits a lot of his affection pings and i'm sure in front of anyone else that it really kind of throws him off. loki would probably end up being contrary for the sake of being contrary even though there's really nothing to be contrary about. cry more, loki.

how does david feel about billy coming from the canon point he's coming from?

it's pretty shitty, honestly. billy being mad at him is better than billy not even knowing him, and if billy were to find out now, while he doesn't know him and never considered him a friend, well, that would only make things worse. he feels a little cut out of things by it, since billy is pretty socially central to the young avengers, and with that door closed, all the others feel the same, like he's dealing more with professional colleagues than friends. it was easier with tommy around, but with him gone and butting heads with billy a couple times since, it's weirdly isolating.


even worse, what if the young avengers went to hang around in asgard and stayed for supper?

If things did go south in Heropa like they do so often in X-Men, would he try to help imPorts or get the hell out of dodge?

[personal profile] xpostate 2014-10-15 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
getting out of dodge would be incredibly tempting, if no one he knew from home were around, he might seriously consider it. he might still even mention it as a legitimate option. but being around other heroes has a tendency to inspire him to do better, to act like the hero he never wanted to be. plus, he has more experience in this than a lot of other imports.

so, he'll be reluctant, but ultimately come around and do the job in helping as he can.


what are rei's feelings on swimming with others, especially swimming with new people that he hasn't really gotten attached to? god now it just sounds like a sexual metaphor
theoryandcalculation: (so not beautiful)

[personal profile] theoryandcalculation 2014-10-16 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Welcome to talking about Free Rei isn't necessarily opposed to swimming with others, but he wouldn't join a team with anyone while here (especially at this canon point) for a few reasons. One, a team is a commitment and he doesn't know how long he'll be here. Two, it would feel in a weird way to him like cheating on his team, WHICH SOUNDS DUMB but with the way the Free boys think about the relay, it feels too much like an unbreakable bond between them. So he could just join a team and not swim relays, except three, they'd want him to swim all the strokes, and while he does know how now he's still only confident with the butterfly, and while the people who knew him before know he's made massive improvement, new people don't know that. It would be humiliating and not beautiful at all.

BUT all that said, if he starts getting attached to people here who want to swim with him, he would. He's naturally competitive, so having people to race against and with gives him a lot more motivation to work harder and go faster than just swimming alone. And blah blah sights people have never seen the magic of swimming yadda yadda

This is the silliest canon.

Is David dating anyone and if not is he interested in dating anyone?

(wow it sounds awkwardly like I'm trying to ask for Rei considering but I'M REALLY NOT)

loki blackmailed him into a date once, it's a very unfortunate, very lusty and very unrequited situation he's been trying to tiptoe around for a long time. the guy's pretty but he's just not david's type. there was a librarian he was kinda attracted to, but he turned out straight. and now jonathan joestar is way more charming than he has any right.

but no, he hasn't really been in a steady relationship since he and nori broke it off two years ago.

what are rei's thoughts on ~romance~? is swimming a must?
