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.

If my counterpart asked you on a romantic date, would you accept?

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

First I would check him for mind control.

But yes. We're good friends, why not?

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

....oh.

.......Excuse me.


[LOL MISFIRE]

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

[Sorry, Lyle believes in try-out dates. He does not take dates as seriously as the Brainies do.]

That it?

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

[You mean you can have dates just for fun? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?]

..I. Yes. ...I'll be leaving now.

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

[Lyle laughs.]

Oh, come on. Haven't you played Truth or Dare with your Legion? Nothing else?

[Peer pressure has appeared, do you succumb? y/n ]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

Truth or Dare? No, not really. ...are you saying I should ask something else?

[YYYYYYYYY]

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

If you like. I want things to be fair.

[And then he doesn't answer it if it's at all personal.]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

And the dare part?

[Lyle's version of fair: Your mileage may vary.]

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

...just ignore that part.

[Lyle's version of fair: I get what I want, and no one objects.]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

Then it's not Truth or Dare, is it? It's just Truth.

But alright, I suppose. What are your most notable inventions?

[How does that work out with Condo? XD]

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Why must you ask me things that require my mun to remember things...

My invisibility serum and the flight rings.

[He loves it.]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

Because people do the same to mine

..you invented the flight rings?

[...that is strangely adorable.]

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Brainy created the materials, and I invented the rings. It was our first cooperative effort. Which makes it typical that it wasn't cooperative at all.

[That describes their relationship, yes. I still need to figure out exactly how they interacted and all, though.]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

Really? That's interesting. And explains why he seemed so shocked I'd never heard of you.

[Yay, headcanon? It can be fun to figure out sometimes.]

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Shocked?

I am one of the original members in our Legion. He's used to having me around.

[I had it figured out a bit, but then saphie gave me new ideas and asdrtgyh]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

Shocked. It was off-putting how much it seemed to upset him, considering how he'd been behaving previously. But I suppose I may have been the same if he'd not known who someone like Superman was.

[SHE DOES THAT. Or pre-empts something I was going to tell her. I clearly need to get more scheme-y.]

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Really? Huh. [There's a pause here as Lyle contemplates this.]

It's a shame our Legions haven't met.

[I will scheme with you. We can make ourselves mustaches and twirl them.]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

It'd be interesting. Though I also have to wonder how much property damage we'd end up with by the end of it. The Science-Police don't need any more reasons to dislike us, after all.

[TOGETHER, WE WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD. ...though I dunno how moustache-twirling would go with my scheme-coffee. Hmm.]

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Well, so long as you and Brainy are contained, there shouldn't be too many explosions.

[You could get a white cat and put a mustache on it. Then you could alternate between petting it and twirling its mustache.]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

Clearly you haven't met Lightning Lad on a bad day. Or Kel-El. ...or several other Legionnaires. I think I do more repair work than actually inventing things.


[asjgkh kitty. ♥ ...I'd probably end up naming it Koko.]

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

Kel-el? [Mun once again fails in remembering if they mentioned him in a conversation before.] We usually make Chuck do repairs.

[If you name him Koko, you can wear him as a hat or a scarf, because Koko is a fashion accessory.]

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

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]

[smartnass.livejournal.com]

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]
