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.

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]

[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.]

[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. >] ]

[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?

[brainy-bot.livejournal.com]

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

[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.
