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.

Why did you assume that Querl taught me how to trace the rings?

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Because I have no reason to believe you could figure it out yourself. Think. You should know how smart I am, and you didn't think I could do it.

Frankly, I still think you lied. Although figuring it out yourself would explain why you didn't know better than to play around with it.

...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?

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

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

Yes, it is.

[crysteel-future.livejournal.com]

Your Legion is a comic book in my universe. But out of respect, I did not tell you - none of my Legion did.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

It was a rhetorical question, princess.

Anything else you want to ask?

[crysteel-future.livejournal.com]

First, stop calling me princess.

And yes. What will your reaction be when Querl eventually pod-pops?

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

No, princess.

"Hi, nice to meet you."

[crysteel-future.livejournal.com]

Fine then, Headband-Lad.

And after?

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Bold, princess. You didn't even need a hologram to say it for you. Maybe soon you'll move on to chewing your own food?

"I'm sure you can find your own way around, I'll be in the lab if you need me."

[crysteel-future.livejournal.com]

I'm done fighting with you Lyle. You can call me pathetic, insipid, rebellious and foolish and self-destructive.

I don't care.

...I just want to be with my Legion right now.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Oh, please.

When you put your fellow Legionnaires in danger? All you had to do was apologize. Without the sarcasm. Not throw a fit, not insult me repeatedly.

If you want to be liked, try being nice. It's not so hard.

[crysteel-future.livejournal.com]

And what is is that you want me to do then to prove I'm sorry, then?

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Say it. Say it and mean it and don't tag a "but" on the end.

"I'm sorry."

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

All right. Apology accepted.

Why do lightning storms and thunder storms always hit at the worst possible time?

[crysteel-future.livejournal.com]

Can you please help me decipher my visions in the plot then? I keep seeing demons and more demons, and crew members...Querl had a machine that saw into my mind and would copy the vision and turn it into workable data.

I'm going to have to apologize publicly on the comm in the plot...aren't I?

Murphey's Law (of RPing)

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

It'd be better in person, but yes. Maybe give me a little time to be annoyed with you and get it out of my system.

Hahahaha. Try being at a party with friends when the power temporarily goes out.

[crysteel-future.livejournal.com]

Alright, I'll wait for the plot to finish and then apologize. No gloating is allowed, though.

And the visions? I don't want the predictions to involve a crew member's death, Lyle.

Spooky stories party!

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

I only gloat at my enemies. You may annoy me, but you're not my enemy.

You know I'll do what I can.

You must be from Naltor! Because that's what we're doing!

[crysteel-future.livejournal.com]

Stellar!

What will we--you call this vision-viewing machine then?

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

I think "Vision Viewer" will do. [This is why Lyle is not known for creative names.]
