Meme: Questions, Throwback Thursday Style

[loverlyviolets]

We last did this meme the regular way in March, but in honor of the game's upcoming anniversary and to encourage you to dust off those old journals (and check if you can still log in) ahead of time, here's a new... I mean old... variant:

Pose an open question (or many) to students, teachers, townies, alumni and expatriates, and they will reply to your thread and answer ICly. (But nothing said here, as usual, actually counts in-game.) The catch: answers should come (with one exception) only from former Fandom High characters.

Q: What if I don't have any former characters?

A: That would be the exception! If you don't have any dropped characters, feel free to answer with your oldest FH character instead. (And/or just run around asking lots of questions, since those can come from anyone!)

So, for example, I'd start a thread with a question like "Are you or have you ever been a Communist in love? If so, with who? If not, why not?" And people ping in under me and answer that question. Questions don't have to be just about catching up with current events in a character's life, though. They can be philosophical ("Do you believe in an afterlife? What do you think it's like?"), historical ("Given your experiences in Fandom, what power do you wish you'd had while you were there?"), OOC-but-IC ("Which person currently on the island would you most like to go drinking with, assuming you'd met them?") or any other variant that might produce fun and interesting in-character answers.

There's no latesies on this, because of the format, so people can ping in at their leisure. And ANYONE can ask questions!

Let's go with one of those up top: Given your experiences in Fandom, what power do you wish you'd had while you were there? Why?

[loverlyviolets]

I just wish I'd the power of CHANGING ONE BLOODY LETTER INTO ANOTHER.

[nadiathesaint]

The ability to reason with laundry machines would have been great.

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

The ability to deflect punches to the face.

[famous-gut.livejournal.com]

The ability to keep all the wackos from calling the trooper station when things get weird.

[shiroi_tiger]

Gremlin-proof skin. Just... gremlin-proof skin.

[all4thewookiees.livejournal.com]

The power to keep people off my lawn, heh.

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

What significant events have happened to you after Fandom?

[loverlyviolets]

I've expanded my business! Now I not only run my own flower shoppe, I also maintain Miss Doolittle's Long Term Boarding Home For Confirmed Bachelors upstairs.

[puppy_fair]

There's this place called Nibelheim...

I...

We don't talk about Nibelheim.

Papa died.
A Red woman spared my life.
Proto died.
I.
I have carried on my father's will.
I am on a ship of Reds.
We challenge the Gods themselves, I watch Reds kill Reds, I am told the souls of our people are enslaved and eaten alive, and think this world has gone totally mad. Sometimes I think I died in the snow with Proto.

It is fine. I was born a warrior, I will die in battle. And when I fall, the next Gorka will take up the sword in my heart, carry on my will, and twist it into some Red fucker's eye and spit on their corpse until my country is free.

But for now, I count ammo and watch my Reds with their hearts bleeding on the inside, and cut the notches on the handle of my hammer for how many I cut down today. Souls that will now be used against us as ammunition in this war in Hell.

Well now, that would be telling...

[all4thewookiees.livejournal.com]

It's a long story, dammit, and you're not even going to pretend to be interested, are you? I didn't think so.

So I was on my way to the outer reacher of the galaxy, beyond space known to most people....

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Who do you look forward to seeing the most?

[superartie]

My great old friends the ducks!

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

Gremlins: How do you plan to avoid them?

(Don't bother Skywalkers. They will find you.)

[notmyownage]

Stunning them from a distance with a raygun.

Obviously.

[famous-gut.livejournal.com]

Any specific places in Fandom you want to visit while you're here? (The Perk, Caritas, etc.)

[gastronomistic]

I can't wait to see what's become of Lukes! It's the only restaurant I've ever run that didn't get destroyed on a weekly basis. . . .

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

How much do you wish a ballin' movie would be made about you ?

[forgottenpants]

I ain't entirely clear on what two of the primary words in your question mean, but I'm certain I would be excellent at it.

[karaoke-lizard.livejournal.com]

What's your favorite memory of Fandom?

[all-the-news.livejournal.com]

Finding Buster (http://fandomtownies.livejournal.com/6569695.html). This dog has saved my life countless times.

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

What item do you plan on bringing with you to Fandom to combat any potential wackiness?

[scruffnfeathers]

I suppose bringing one of the weapons of heaven would be considered unethical. . . .

I'll have to see if I can borrow a shotgun.

[ultimatehottie.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna go there. Who do you wanna hook up with while you're in town?

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Has Tino ever seen you naked?

[puppy_fair]

Oh, wow, I really hope not.

[sharp_as_knives]

Who or what will you be trying your hardest to avoid?

[shiroi_tiger]

Gremlins. Very much the gremlins. I want to think I left the island on fairly amenable grounds with most people.

But those damned gremlins...

[ultimatehottie.livejournal.com]

If you had one thing to do over in Fandom, what would it be?

[puppy_fair]

I don't know. Maybe I would have stayed, or at least learned more about what went horribly wrong back home before I left. I keep thinking maybe if I had been better prepared...

[ultimatehottie.livejournal.com]

If you could steal somebody's life in a Single White Female/Talented Mr Ripley way (I think that's what that movie is about, right?), which Fandomite, past or present, would you be?
