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!

My answer for her on any question like this keeps sounding sad - learn how to live a normalish life, or more how to have expectations and goals she chooses for herself. Learn... to have friends... to have bonds that mean something in both directions that she doesn't have to betray simply by merit of being who and what she is. Learning friendship is probably the big one. Learning to open up despite the pain that invites in, especially here. LEARN TO SMILE AND LAUGH MORE NORMALLY wow like I said it just sounds sad.

Lind of the most important part there is that these are friends who know about the version of her past she tells (which is deliberately more condemning than it needs to be), who acknowledge these things she's done and her capacity for being a threat, back home, and who do not dismiss them, but move forward with and probably struggle with these things. Mutual relationships with those kinds of people. It's important to her... and seriously probably not ever going to happen in canon.

On a note of random things she's enjoyed learning since she came, hovercycle riding. That's just fun in a weird liberating way.

Question: What are you enjoying about getting to play Newt here, right now? Like, what thins are you finding it interesting to explore? Since I feel like the rewards a player can get out of it are different from what rewards a character gets out of the setting (or their detriments, depending).

Aww oh no I don't even know her canon and I'm sad for her I just want to gather her up and put her in my pocket. :C

Man, I am having so much fun with just... Everything, honestly. I love how I can have really serious threads about government and the awful shit in his canon but turn around and have ridiculous threads with him trying to make moonshine or play with cats and just get to have a little bit of normalcy. I really like getting to explore Newt getting frustrated in MoM, because he's usually the most level-headed of his friends, the one with logic and reason that doesn't just run into bad ideas without a proper plan. He just keeps hitting walls with people with their beliefs vs his own about what's going on here, and it sort of takes him out of his comfort zone. I'm looking forward to see how he develops in MoM, because I don't really have any direction that I want to take him in specifically. Will he hate MoM and try to go back to his world, will he end up wanting to stay here because it's leagues better than what his world has to offer? I honestly have no idea which way he'll lean yet, so I'm excited to see where his development takes him.

Question: What is Annie's favorite guilty pleasure food?
