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!

God i re-read like.. the first 25 books or so a few months ago and THE ONE WHERE THEY GO INVADE NOT-AOL. Marco's so proud of his like... 56k..... weeping...

Also that totally makes sense. Poor kid. >:

HE IS PRETTY STREET-SAVVY, ACTUALLY. There's a bit of a culture gap, because he was born in Japan in 1991, so he's used to it being 2009 across the world. But he dropped out of highschool when he was 16 and, as far as we can tell from canon, was a damn hobo for two years.

no really.

We meet him in-game in an alley when the protagonists are dumb enough to GO DOWN THERE TO INVESTIGATE A GHOST STORY and nearly get their shit kicked in- And that's pretty much where he hangs out for half the game, until the jerk finally joins your party. He sells info in the protagonists for drugs at one point (WHAT A LOVELY GUY....) and just...

Yeah. While in game here, he's been playing a bit more legit, he's good at reading people and situations for the most part- so he can get by in shadier situations and the like, but isn't quite as familiar with "Oh yeah, joe over there's got the blow, but he cuts it more if he doesn't like you, and..." etc etc.

If Marco could pick one canonmate to join him here, who would it be and why? What skills or talents does he think would be most useful here, what with all the uncertainty and paranoia of landing here?

oh my god if Marco somehow became homeless and was forced to do shady stuff, I think he'll do the exact same thing. Dipshits unite!

As much as I love the bromance between Jake and Marco, Marco is not the sentimetal type would totally be pragmatic about his choice and pick Rachel. Rachel and Marco are complete opposites, but they really got a groove going on. Not only that, but Rachel is like ten times the better fighter than he is. There have been instances where he's gotta pick someone for back-up (especially in the later books) he always picked Rachel. Their relationship can become strained at times, but hey, Marco's an asshole, so that's like basically him with everybody everywhere. If he's going to be in a separate reality where commies are an actual threat to the US and there's crazy supervillians going about, he would rather be with someone who won't eat the cigarette butts or live mice and know how to get down and dirty without debate.

If Shinjiro can morph, what would his battle morph be?

Ahhh, I love how practical he is. ANTICIPATING WORST-CASE SCENARIOS, ALL DAY ERRY-DAY.


Shiiiiiit man so many good choices. HONESTLY, in his JRPG, Shinjiro's your brute force character. He's good at swinging around battle axes in one hand, only learns physical techs (That eat at his own health to even use-) and is totally upfront about the fact that if you need some sort of support skills (healing, debuffs, whatever) you just need to go find someone else.

THEREFORE, he'd be all about the damage dealing and sturdiness, but without going all the way overboard into not being able to maneuver. A type of bear would be likely, I think- Big, strong, got claws, but it's not completely unwieldy. Along the same vein, komodo dragon or saltwater crocodile would also be likely candidates, if if the goal is to stand and fight, as opposed to potentially be moving and fighting. While the reptiles CAn move fast, they don't quite have the same stopping force as some huge mammals.

(not that... they always need it, but w/e.)

What are Marco's thoughts on his roomies? Or anyone in general, haha- Has he tried staking anyone out for the three days to be sure if they're a controller or not?

He kinda strikes me as a rhino, mainly because those guys can REALLY dainty on their feet. Even Jake in the books remarked that walking as a rhino feels like walking tip-toe.


I ACTUALLY PLANNED TO PLAY THAT OUT but moving out of state changed my rp plans whoops. But yeah he TOTALLY staked out his roommates (sorry rooomies!), mostly at a individual basis and as a bird or a bug, rarely as himself . . . . so it basically took him about two weeks or so be satisfied with his roommates. He knows he can't stalk EVERY imPort, so for now he's just keeping his head low, ear to the ground, and side-eye his roommates. W2G MARCO

After he's done checking them out he doesn't really interact with them because WHOOPS RL LIFE got me but it's kinda IC for him to not . . . really . . . care. Thinking about making a open log to change that.

IT HAPPENS i know it has to me, l-lol whoops... ALSO RHINO IS ANOTHER ONE I WAS THINKING TBH, I couldn't remember if they were like sheer bulldozers or what. I remember vision being an issue, but it is for like half their morphs, so whatever.

Water battle morph could be a hippo. just goes for the bulky gray animals. TBH I could also see like a cape buffalo because those things are intense. (i know there's one youtube video of an alligator and some lionesses fighting over a calf AND THEN THE WHOLE HERD SHOWS UP AND KNOCKS THEIR SHIT it's insane.)

manatee, ur nxt.

haha, AND THAT MAKES SENSE, trying to get a feel for anything similar to the sharing, et cetera. Do you foresee him eventually getting close enough to consider himself allies with any other imPorts? Or is he more likely to err on the side of "fuck no I'mma lay low until I absolutely have to"?

Marco is paranoid, but he is a social creature, so he's gonna reach out to others sooner or later. He is more likely to bond with others around his age than adults. Not of some paranoid reason, but more of a typical stupid teenager reason. But he will hang out with people, but don't expect him to open up about feelings and stuff. (Heck he even burned his files on the first day he arrived!)

Since I forgot to ask a question last comment here's a double whammy: does Shinjiro have any likings in this reality? How does he like the idea of being a military-vouched superhero?
