Tell Me Why...

[crysteel-future.livejournal.com]

Since everything in the world begs questions, and we would all love to have answers to the "Why"s...and we can't always have those answers. However, on the meatship crack-comm, we can. I thought that this meme would be stimulating for the brain and considerability of our persons.

The game is simple:

1. Post a comment of your character accepting/not-accepting-but-making-due-with being part of the meme
2. Other characters comment on the first comment with questions. Anything goes.
3. The character being questioned answers the questions. Truthfully. You're allowed to gracefully skirt around answering a particular part.
4. Enjoy.

As dates, Brainy.

This question is illogical. Superman wouldn't do something like that.

I have no desire to repeat the experience, trust me. Too stringy.

You seem to have it together, and you've been trusted with a lot of responsibility, so why the lack of confidence?

Oh, hey, that's one of those freaky impossible statements we learned about in Grammar last month. [oh yeah is she ever enjoying only telling the truth] Technically the answer is no!

Hmn.

I don't see why not. *pause* Anyone want jello?

Still. If he did.

...you are not from my universe. You do not know me. I don't know you because you aren't from my universe; and I hardly think that brief greeting during Legion of Three Worlds constitutes as 'getting to know you'.

I was a Precommando upon Naltor during the Revolution of Youth. Things were fought dirty and unfairly. I was taught things that you would find not appropriate of lawmen. But to you, that's an excuse, isn't it?

Again? I'm going to run out of secrets soon.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Then why do you act like you know us, princess?

Yes, it is.

[quark-assassin.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

And if a person starts out with a single hair on their head as is considered "bald", and hair is added in single-hair-increments, at what point is the person no longer bald?

What?

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

But he wouldn't.

If you were ever in my universe - a visit or however you want to think about it - would come with me to the largest tea market in the galaxy?

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

It's a hypothetical, Brainy. Superman comes up to you and says, hey, I'd like to ask you out. How about dinner?

And you say...?

Most of it is a remnant from my more awkward years. I never really had friends until I was about thirteen. Other children considered me a freak due to my interest in science---and in fairness to them, my vocabulary was fairly difficult to understand. I spent many of my school breaks hiding from bullies or pulling myself out of trash cans.

Eventually I made some wonderfully patient and kind friends, and with their help and our Ranger responsibilities binding us together, I was no longer a victim. You're right: I should be confident now, but most of my gains were well supported by my friends. I have new friends here, but no one can fill the gap they left.

There's also the age matter---I'm significantly younger than the rest of the officers and most of the department I supervise, and I suspect they distrust me on some level. They've more than likely had disastrous encounters with teenagers in the past. And no matter how much responsibility I've successfully handled, there's no substitute for life experience. In their shoes, I'm not sure that I would trust myself either.

This again?

Aaah love icon

Ask away.
