aww yeah it's question meme time

[hackitude]

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!

QUESTION THE NEXT:

What's the most ridiculous thing Shinjiro has had to deal with while here?

[hoboagogo]

Being possessed by a ghost into threatening to blow up the local DMV with a bunch of hot dogs and wires strapped to his chest as a fake bomb. HANDS DOWN. THAT IS THE NUMBER ONE MOST RIDICULOUS. And then he had to spend a very uncertain two weeks in prison and was so fucking confused about his life because he didn't remember a damn thing about it.

But now he and Yoms are buddies so it's all good.

SECONDARY RIDICULOUS THINGS include an awkward run-in with Jaime wearing a Mega-Man Arm Blaster and arguing with a robot living in his spine over whether or not to kill Shinji's pet. Also the whole 'arm in the microwave' thing back at the summer games. Also watching Akihiko nearly get his face ripped off by a badger at summer camp because his best friend is an idiot.

Oh and his other bffbro is apparently an 'alligator curator'. And one day a disembodied ghost was hanging out in one of his wall sockets and had to be talked down from killing people.

And a space marine had to call him and clarify that he is not into virtual dating sims, despite what game titles such as 'Galaxy of Fantasy' would have him believe.

He also got into a stupid fight about dinosaurs with a dinosaur. Shinjiro still maintains that even with their second ass-brain (shinjiro does not know how dinosaurs work) they aren't smarter than people usually.



His whole life here is a string of ridiculous happenstance, tbh.

[hoboagogo]

SAME QUESTION BACK AT ANNIE because man i love me some ridiculous RP shenanigans.

[lyingheart]

Oh no it's basically everything. SAWING THROUGH HER ARM AND PUTTING IT IN THE MICROWAVE IS KIND OF. UP THERE? For Annie, so is dancing, but you know, degrees of everything.

Oh stars most her antics have been over the devices, or having awkward moments where you go lingerie shopping with a relative stranger who then goes "so about you being a Titan" or convincing a computer nerd to help pick out her computer or learning everyone is silly about cute puppies and it's almost endearing of those people THIS IS WHEN I REALIZE SHE SOUNDS SO DOMESTIC and it's such a contrast to her life before

That that is antics in and of itself

Like her being at the dunk tank was good too, but honestly most her ridiculousness comes out of CR and interpersonal relationship play, I realize, as I sit here going "wow what... else... has happened..."

Titan wrestling mini-Godzilla was pretty hilarious. To me. Of course that was me threading... it out on my own.................. so it comes back to being the most ridiculous parts have been the CR she has with people, and those interpersonal interactions. LIKE MINAKO TAKING OFF WITH HER WARDROBE hands in the air why this why now

[lyingheart]

THE SAD QUESTION based on how the comings and goings happen ICly, but, should Akihiko ever get exPorted/dePorted and not return, do you think Shinjiro would ever end up finding himself in a relationship again? It'd be different dynamics from the start, since not a childhood friend (etc etc), but it's always one that makes me curious in JamJarish contexts

At what point does a character's need for human connection overcome their desire to not get inevitably hurt dun dun DUN

[hoboagogo]

MAN I DON'T EVEN KNOW. It's certainly possible. It's not something that he would really actively consider and strive for because... well, he's a miserable dead person, why would anyone even. (As always aki is the exception to all his rules.) He doesn't exactly think of himself as the most deserving, after all.

I feel like the biggest worry wouldn't be OH NO WILL I GET HURT AGAIN (because hurt happens okay, he sort of... tends to stay so reserved because we all got it coming at some point.) but rather SHIT WHAT WOULD HE DO IF AKI CAME BACK AND REMEMBERED

like whoops bro you see you might feel like it's only been 2 seconds but

it's been a while and uh

how can we make things right. is a threesome the answer here.

It would be very difficult for him to really build up that sort of necessary trust for a relationship because this was less "hey lets get together sometime' and more... idk, just an expansion on their pre-existing relationship? (NOTHING HAS REALLY CHANGED MUCH TBH.) But given the right type of personality and situations and time, it would certainly be possible.

hell, in a previous game, he had an awkward teenage boycrush on FFIV's cecil harvey before finding out that cecil was a dude and yet keeping said boycrush because i do what i want and the rule of funny beats out all else.

[lyingheart]

threesome is always the answer i mean what


... AWWH THAT'S CUTE

[hoboagogo]

ASW always has my back man

[lyingheart]

WEEPS

[hoboagogo]

How is Annie's relationship with our survey corp members here? UNDERSTANDABLY I COULD SEE IT BEING STRAINED, but has all popping into a titan-free world changed much? have they influenced many of her choices or paths here?

do her bffs need to have her back and shank a bitch?

[lyingheart]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Okay so like with Reiner it's on the awkward but getting like. Better. Side. She's still awkward in trying to be around... or helpful... or anything with Bertholdt gone, largely because she's like "I am the last person who can help people through anything really do you need a wingman I can do that do you need someone at your back I can do that do you need a hug? I can............ awkwardly...................... attempt................................. that"

Then there's everyone else. She does not trust any of the adults. Her respect has only grown in increments for Jean and Sasha; she feels Armin has not responded well to this world, and knowing more from home, wonders if stress there plays some part, but it's actually sounding like events are moving on lines that... might be better, or might destroy everything. The only older adult she's on speaking terms with is Hange, and lol. It's in that territory of fuck you we're not talking alone together unless absolutely necessary. Levi she doesn't want to deal with at all, and Isabel will get side stepped carefully due to ties to Levi. Erwin is a scary dude.

SO LIKE. Jean is the guy she... talks to... and she hates that he's like. More reasonable. But still an ass. Sasha is just purely Sasha, and she has a lot of respect for her talent and skills, and also her moments of stupid, because it's all easier to take in stride.

SO SHE'S not intending ill will toward anyone, but knows things are strained because lol??? TITAN SHIFTER??? And yes, they have influenced her here. Mostly in moving away (yo Nonah), mostly in pressing sooner to confess to what she was (which her fellow shifters backed, after Colorado), mostly in having no large degree of faith in being protected from them when they'd been manipulating Reiner since day one, trying to work against them.

However, Jean being occasionally reasonable, and Sasha being Sasha, means they're like. The two she feels okay dealing with. Hange is edging in there as at least being open and sharing conversation and information two ways. THEN THERE'S. Armin. For whom she has many complicated feelings and nothing is probably ever going to be okay ever.

But do not shank bitches those poor dogs can't help going into heat okay OKAY!

[lyingheart]

Who's in Shinji's social circle right now here in MoM?

[hoboagogo]

A WEIRD MIXTURE OF PEOPLES, TBH.

Of course there's Annie, who is... uh. Fr...ien...ds??? They train, they shared some basic information about their worlds, they amputated her necrotic arm and stuffed it in a microwave. Annie is way more focused than he is (Because he's such a slackass-) and he can respect that. Respects that drive to make herself an exemplary imPort, and respects her self-acknowledgement on who and what she is, and why she does what she does. She's so matter of fact, it makes her super easy to talk and shoot the shit with, be it about missing wardrobe to dancing to whatever else. He can't claim to be as knowledgeable about the goings-on in this world [because susan is a slacker and doesn't keep up with world plot like she should--] but he's ready and willing to help her figure out what she's looking for.

After that there's Akihiko, who we all know about by now

And Minato, blah blah castmates.

Jaime and Jayden are two of the people his own age he's hung out with most. They all go to Heropa Public School because idek if xavier's ever opened....? and occasionally all hang out together in dumb teenage ways. Shinji and Jaime used to be housemates, and they got along super well. He also half keeps up with Kaiden, who was also an old house mate before he moved out to De Chima.

Yomiel is... complicated. They're friends, and he understands what a shitty situation Yoms is in, but he also recognizes how easy it would be for the ghost to slide off into the deep end and start using people to kill others or whatever again. He's just accepted the fact that the ghost may be in his room or pet or whatever at any given time. he wants to try and steer Yoms back but you know what they say about leading horses to water and not being able to shove their heads into it.

Jesse is a coworker that he's been hanging out with less as of late, but they used to go smoke weed on the roof together and bullshit back and forth.

Inumuta is.... lol, well, he's Inumuta. Shinjiro thinks he's alright, just a HUGE FUCKOFF NERD. he tried to help the guy out of his internet addiction once (didn't work) and then they started stopping by a tea place every so often to figure out this 'how do i friends' thing. Inumuta and Soba get along which is good.

Soba is his pet snake and he loves her very much like you don't even know how much he has feelings for this bigass snake.

And Sugar ray is Akihikos new pet Rabbit and surely this will not pose any problems at all whatsoever nope.

He's not interacted quite as much with his De Chima housemates, because I am a huge shy wimp sometimes, but he thinks Samara's got a hard life- and is starting to piece together that she, Jacob, and Kaiden are all kind of from the same future-ish.

I'm sure I could keep going, lmao, because HE GETS ALONG WITH PEOPLE PRETTY EASILY despite being such a dry jerk, so I don't... think he's had too much negative CR other than fighting with Dr. Dinosaur that one time. I AM LIKELY FORGETTING PEOPLE, IDEK.

Basically his social circle is surprisingly broad, but not very deep in most cases. he's only lately started to tell people about the more supernatural aspects of his world, for instance, and has yet to tell anyone about his inabilities to properly control his Persona, and the ramifications they had back home.

[hoboagogo]

Annie's eating habits! Does she have any favourites? Go-to meals? Does she cook or stop and grab something or eat on the go? Do tell.

[lyingheart]

this is when you learn i'm not so creative on these things - annie avoids most the easy meals because the salt content gets to her, and the grease. like it can be good? but her system just goes FRICK YOU for it so her response is not to push her body to accept all these weird greasy foods and stick to a largely vegetarian diet by preference, eating meat every so often. she's been trying new recipes, tries to stick away from anything that relies too heavily on dairy, is down with stews (they're easier and can last for days okay) and breads and soups and potatoes in all kinds of variety, different roasted and baked veggies, she's explored with casseroles... has a love hate relationship with rice and pasta, hasn't tried too much of it as a consequence. she hasn't been so inquisitive in her food explorations as most other things, partly because tried and true causes the least gastrointestinal distress. that and she enjoys the variety of new fruits and veggies! some of the new oils are nice to use... but it's about balance. so ironically, she eats healthy, even if it takes more time, because the fast food junk doesn't do well with her.

so she cooks and she's been figuring out things like EGG DISHES and like omelets and sunny side up and toast done her way and casseroles and soups and stews and breads she mostly buys from a bakery and roasted/broiled veggies! meat is more rare still even if it's omnipresent here, she's not always trusting of the source. (needs to find a good butcher, really.)

QUESTION: if shinji had to act in a movie for some reason, what kind of movie would it be, and what sort of part would he play if he also had to be the main male lead?
