everything that's random

So, the question kitteh has decided to go a little morbid and dark. Even the fluffy critter likes to show its fangs sometimes. (Doesn't help that a mod or two has been watching vampires and werewolves lately, very bad vampires and werewolves.) Remember the rules, kiddos.

1) Would you live forever? As what: vampire, Immortal, fairy, Neverland denizen, etc.?
2) There's a fire. What would you save? What would you grab first?
3) Favorite breakfast food: what is it, do you share, do you make it for someone else to eat?
4) When/if you die, for what would you like to be remembered?

It's that time of year to think of the turning of the year from the old to the new. It's time to think about reinvention, of renewal, of becoming. This means it's time for the question kitteh to ask another set of questions of our characters.

1) What is your New Year's resolution?
2) What would a resolution be for someone else?
3) Tradition suggests that whoever you kiss at midnight on New Years' Eve is the person you'll spend the next year with. So, who would you choose to kiss at midnight if there were no consequences? (this can be anyone you'd like, no matter how unrealistic)*

You know the drill, kiddies. Let's see what you've got.




*Thank you, Kelly, for this question!

It's the holidays. Time to give gifts! The question kitteh wants gifts too, or to see them being swapped. So, in that spirit, the kitteh asks the wonderful characters "If you could give without consequences, to whom would you give and what?"

Remember, this is for fun and stays ooc unless otherwise decided between players.

• What is in your refrigerator right now? On your bedroom floor? On your nightstand? In your garbage can?

• Look at your feet. Describe what you see there. Do you wear dress shoes, gym shoes, or none at all? Are you in socks that are ratty and full of holes? Or are you wearing a pair of blue and gold slippers knitted by your grandmother?

• When you think of your childhood kitchen, what smell do you associate with it? Sauerkraut? Oatmeal cookies? Paint? Why is that smell so resonant for you?

• You are doing intense spring cleaning. What is easy for you to throw out? What is difficult for you to part with? Why?

• What is one strong memory that has stuck with you from childhood? Why is it so powerful and lasting?

• You are getting ready for a night out. Where are you going? What do you wear? Who will uou be with?

Since this particular question spree was so popular (seriously guys, 324 comments), we're extending it into a new post.

You may continue your threads in the other post, by all means. But if you haven't gotten to ask questions yet, or if you just have MORE things your characters want to ask, please do that here.

We're going to do it a little differently on this one. Each question gets it's own comment. The way things collapsed was a little awkward, and this way you'll be able to track your specific thread a little easier.

So by all means, ask what you wish to ask of each other! Any character, any question. No limits on how many you ask. Usual rules apply.

Okay, characters, here's your chance to get to know each other. Pick another person and ask him or her a question. Any person, any question. No limits on how many people you ask. Usual rules apply.

Sometimes the kitteh gets a little serious. So, you know what to do. Also, for future fun or past fun hmm, take a look at we_archive; it's a work in progress, but it's worth a go.

1) If you got to choose how your life story was told, what would it be? (comic book, movie, tv, video game)

2) What in your life story you'd like the story teller to gloss heavily over or completely rewrite?

3) What would you really like to highlight?

4) Where is your happy place?

5) If you had a crush on someone, what would you do to get their attention?

Characters, you're on a desert island; answer the following questions, and as always you can give why's if you'd like. Also, there is no blinking off the island for those of you who can blink or teleport or whatnot.

1) Which would you rather have as your lone companion: lover, friend, family, stranger?

2) What book would you want with you? It's the only one you can read for however long your there.

3) There are caves on the island. Would you live on the beach or in a cave?

4) Would you pull crazy stunts, even if it might waste your precious supplies, to get rescued/off the island?

5) What is that smoke beasty anyway? And how did the polar bear get there?

6) Would you rather be the god of the island or the god's worshiper? (Because that's what happens to people when they get caught on a desert island, right?)

It's been a couple weeks, and the kitty wants some more answers - they're almost as good as cream and a good tummy rub. These are for the characters again; remember, it's just for fun.

So, what/who would win? Which would you pick? Why (optional)?

1) Cavemen vs. Astronauts

2) Beatles vs. Eagles

3) Science vs. Magic

4) Good vs. Evil

5) Vanilla vs. Chocolate

6) Shower vs. Bath

7) Ropes vs. Chains

8) Fire vs. Ice

Time for more fun with that wacky IC question kitteh! Yes, that's right. Now remember, these are for OOC fun, but answer them ICly (that's a word, doggonit!).

1) What is a surefire way to get you bummed?

2) Unicorns: fact or fiction?

3) You've got five minutes in a store to grab whatever you want, what sort of store would it be? (cannot be general/department type store)

4) What is your secret weapon to lure in the [opposite/same] sex?
