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.

Thirty-first century vernacular. Sorry. They taste exceedingly good.

Kel-El. He's a clone of Superman from the forty-first century. It's complicated. [I... don't think so? D|] Bouncing Boy normally helps out a little, but sometimes his repairs can cause more damage than they repair. Besides, I stopped asking when he was voted team leader. He had other things to worry about, and I'm pretty used to handling things on my own.

[So long as the cat doesn't start mixing chemicals while I'm working, I'm fine with that. XD]

..I am from the same time, you know. I've just never heard that phrase before. Maybe you meant to say it's unique to your dimension?

You could drag humankind almost anywhere by manipulating the enormous energies of procreation. You could goad humans into actions they would never have believed possible. ...This energy must have an outlet. Bottle it up and it becomes monstrously dangerous.

In other words the very core of it is an instinctual drive that preserves the species.

It sounds it.

Chuck was team leader? Good for him!

[But the cat will do it better than you! No, wait, that's depressing. Especially since cats don't have thumbs. Except for polydactyls.]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

Yes, he was voted in after proving his worth with directing storm relief efforts on Winath. That and I think everyone wanted a break from Garth and Rokk's constant arguments.

[...since I have zero knowledge in the field, the cat probably could do it better than me even without thumbs. Dx]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

...so they're going to keep asking questions about things like that and making up other activities about it?

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

There's a way to stop them from arguing? ...does it involve muzzles?

[Well, it can't talk. You could always take the credit.]

[worm-dancer.livejournal.com]

Yes. I suggest you get used to it.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

Vast distance between them seems to help a lot. But the downside is that they argue even more when they eventually meet up again.

[Good point. But I think a cat that can do chemistry would actually get me a lot of money in other areas as well. >] ]

[Siiiiiiiiiigh]

I don't see why I should have to be the one to change.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

At least they manage to keep it tsundere friendly. Arguing and making up is the sign of a strong friendship, right? (Brainy and I must have a very strong friendship.)

[Until he has a Brainy moment and blows us all up. Chemistry cats: the end of mankind. We always knew it would be a kitty.]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

.....Superman and I have a strong friendship, and we don't argue very often at all.

On the subject of the meme... how do you feel towards my counterpart and myself?

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

It's the quality of the arguments, not the quality? I don't argue much with ... nevermind, I argue with everyone.

What do you mean?

[worm-dancer.livejournal.com]

What we must strive for always is to find the natural flow and go with it.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

Well, you said you both must have a strong friendship. Do you think of it that way?

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

...and what is that supposed to mean?

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm one of his oldest friends, I think. I was definitely his friend before he was mine.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

And is there any chance of that friendship becoming... something else?

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

I don't think so. Brainy's really obvious when he has a crush. He drops straight to 8th level at most.

Don't tell him I said that.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

I won't. But if you thought he was interested...

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

I'd think about it.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

Just think about it?

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

You seem awfully interested in this.

Brainy's crushes are ... something you have to take seriously. So yes. I'd think about it.

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

......

My apologies. I have something else to do for the moment, so I'll speak to you some other time, Invisible Kid.
