The "Ask Characters Questions" Meme!

[prettycoolguy]

Okay guys, this is pretty simple but should be fun, and give us all something to do as we wait for things to happen as plot to progresses.

Post your character, and people can ask them things ICly or OOCly, as themselves or as their characters.

For example, "Hey Chief, what do you think of [x]?" or "Hey Zita, what does Chief think of [x]?"

Characters do not strictly have to answer honestly, but it's more fun (and more funny) if you make them!

Other than that, go nuts and have fun!

Can we please stop discussing this?

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

.....I suppose.

Is there anything you'd prefer?

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

What's this (http://community.livejournal.com/insertmeathere/11638.html?thread=859766#t859766) about?

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

What about it interests you?

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

What do you think? Why would you say something like that?!

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

That humans are my intellectual inferiors? In most cases, they are.

But so are Carggites, Winathians, other Coluans, and any other species that can be named, generally. Only specific individuals manage to remotely approach the same level of intellect, or in the case of individuals like Lyle Norg, show traits like ingenuity and creativity that I lack, in compensation for not being quite the same level of intelligence.

...while that may be true, it isn't something people appreciate being told.

Besides, the comment was just 'inferiors', not 'intellectual inferiors'.

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

I never said I thought I was morally superior in any fashion. I always meant it in terms of intellect.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

....but that's just..

......why would you say that to someone?

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

It's true. It usually came up in the course of conversation. What reason is there not to say it?

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

Maybe not to offend others? It took longer than I like to admit, but after I'd been with the Legion for a while, I learned that while such things are true, it's sometimes better to keep them to yourself.

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

Why? If people choose to interrogate such things from a negative perspective, that's their prerogative.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

How can you--

.....

Didn't it occur to you that there a ways of saying the same thing without making it seem like you're insulting almost everyone that isn't you?

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

They'd likely take offense regardless.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

You don't know that for sure. In fact my experiences suggest otherwise.

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

They usually find something to take offense at.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

I find it hard to believe that even you manage to offend someone every conversation.

...out of curiosity, did this topic come up in discussion with Kara?

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

It's not every conversation. That was a gross exaggeration.

And...yes, it did.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

But maybe if you tried being more personable, it would be even less frequent?

...and did that cause or contribute to your... 'misunderstanding'?

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

It was more...a misinterpretation of her intentions that caused the issues.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

What happened?

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

I thought she was...engaging in flirtatious behavior with me as a ruse of sorts. For her own entertainment. When I said as such, she was hugely offended and sarcastically implied that it was true--which I interpreted as her admitting to it, and...

Now she's rather incensed with me.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

*just..... STARES*

...and you did apologise, didn't you?

[cabbage-butt.livejournal.com]

...Not as such?

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

...why not?!
