Ickle Meatships!

Hopefully no one sues me for semi-stealing the SLEEP meme format but!



ICKLE!

Think about or think back on the childhood days/younger days of your character (or your character now if they already are kids). There's a huge playroom with a mountain of toys....

Have fun, Kids! And no fightings!

"You're supposed to be the smart one? Jesus Christ." Tal mutters, shaking his head. "We're from Earth."

See, Brainy? Tal is an equal-opportunity snarker.

He doesn't care. Brainy still doesn't like him on principle.

Of course, he's not exactly helping the situation when he looks at himself, then back at Wyn with a 'are you stupid?' expression. "I'm green and inorganic," he explains very slowly and clearly. "Where did you think I was from?"

"I wouldn't have known you were inorganic without taking you to one of the labs at the university and doing some tests, and then the researchers would have been mad at me and would probably put you in a box somewhere to be watched for a really long time or until you died because we haven't actually found any aliens yet which is why it's kind of cool to meet you. And the green could have been a skin condition, which would have been rude to mention." Wyn says, clearly still trying to help Brainy with his social interaction problems.

... yeah, Wyn's earned herself an 'oh God what are you doing?' look from Tal. He thought she had enough sense to keep from doing the word-vomit thing in public, especially with regards to doing testing on potentially hostile alien visitors. (Tal has seen enough sci-fi movies to know that's a bad idea.) "You could have been American." he says, clearly very much finished with any meaningful conversation.

Brainy frowns even more (he seems to do this a lot) at the talk of researchers and tests. "That's just barbaric," he says. "How backwards are you?"

[madeofwyn.livejournal.com]

"Really? Because I get tested all the time, and it's not so bad. It's kind of boring, but I don't think I'd call it 'barbaric'." Wyn says with a shrug.

[justabarkeep.livejournal.com]

Brainy, your social skills are not improving. "We're not backwards." Tal snaps. "Just because we're from a different planet than you doesn't mean we're barbarians, either."

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

"You're talking about forcing people to undergo tests just for being different," he points out. "That's, if not barbaric, at the very least extremely offensive. How can you expect it to come across as anything but backwards?"

He looks at Wyn curiously. "What tests do they make you undertake?"

[madeofwyn.livejournal.com]

"Um, mostly functional magnetic resonance imaging for cognitive psychophysiological testing." Wyn says. Her tone of voice makes it abundantly clear that this is normal for her. "I did that Myers-Briggs thing a while ago, and I think they've given up on IQ testing. Finally."

[justabarkeep.livejournal.com]

"Wyn, you don't just--" Facepalm.

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

That doesn't sound quite as bad as the images conjured by the broad term 'tests', but it's still not something he'd want without his permission. He'd had enough of that on Colu.

"Most of that would be pointless on me," he says. "My brain is nothing like yours, and I've already had far better tests on Colu. My intellect is extremely high, as well." He can't resist adding that last part.
