Text; another poll

[alsohawkeye]

Hey everyone.

I'm sure some sort of demographics survey has been done in the past but I haven't seen one since I've been here and I'm curious. I've tried to keep it pretty basic. I know people are touchy about their privacy, and I know some aren't cool with being asked about special abilities/skills/powers/whatever, so obviously skip questions if you want to, no hard feelings. I'd rather just get name/age/planet than nothing at all, you know? Not like I'm going to hunt you down and force you to fill it out. But if you're willing to be more complete that'd be awesome and if there's something you think is important that I didn't include a field for, let me know.

Maybe there's a pattern here somewhere, maybe there's not, but at the very least it might be interesting or provide some useful data for department recruitment or something. Maybe you'll find some friends, whatever.

Thanks!

(ooc: feel free to treat this as threadjack city as far as I'm concerned. if you squint it's kind of almost like an ic cr meme?)

I know I saw that name on this post, I'll track him down. How come?

[skjalf]

[ she knows this is as fake as fake gets, so she feels it's ok to laugh a little. ]

And still no word of the grand Yule celebration he has promised us.

Quite disappointing!

[c24]

Yeah no shit. Found that out believe me.

[fullmoon]

I've never worked in a 'normal' shop, but I'd imagine so, yeah.

Are you joking about the cape? I was joking about the cape. Do your friends wear them in public and everything? Proper masked crusaders?

ADDENDUM

[skjalf]

Relationship status: I have been.. is it called 'seeing' in modern times? I have been seeing Cesare Borgia for some time now.

[alsohawkeye]

Not joking, but only one of my friends has one. The rest of us have various sorts of high-tech suits but no capes. Or most of us do, anyway. One of us just wears a denim jacket because somehow these days that's more mysterious than a mask.

The Tower is a Royal residence. May I ask what business you had there?

[alsohawkeye]

It definitely does. The ship gave me a bow but not my own or the quality I'm used to, and the only arrows that came in my locker are the trick kind.

[c24]

Yeah? Guess it's all that training, sense of duty, or love of country that really seals the deal then.

[ It's okay, Clara. You're allowed to just bask in his awesome righteousness even if it's bullshit and corporatized by his time. ]

[ Three more points for math. No, he's not that mean. ]

That's exactly what it means.

Between you and me [ and anyone reading this I guess ] he's much better at losing points than earning them, so you can probably coast.

[ Never mind that prefects aren't actually allowed to award points. This is space. Everything is made up and the points don't matter. ]

If it were ever common in my world, it has since faded into relative obscurity.

For the most part. It also runs in my family.

You and your brother have been fortunate, Lady Hawke.

[c24]

Well I've already heard it, so you don't need to waste your breath. Or your fingers I guess.

[c24]

You another one that "knows" me from before?

[ Sorry, he's testy now. Blame Colbert up there. ]

[ Lecturing anyone on keeping up hope is probably hypocritical, all things considered. Hook gave up on it ages ago. It has its perks — easier to tolerate being trapped here, for one — but it has no future, either.

Losing someone isn't the same as being left. He's well aware of the distinction; he built his life around the latter, once, following in Liam's footsteps instead of his father's. So when Emma changes the terms, makes this about Henry's faith instead of hers, it makes her stance clear: Henry's more important than she is. Not surprising news, of course, but it'd almost read like a deflection if it weren't so honest.

It's a sentiment he can understand, even if it feels like something that's no longer within his reach. Losing his brother and Milah, that hadn't been a choice— losing Bae had, and it's a choice he has to live with. It's also one Emma would never make, implicitly or otherwise.

He's a lost cause. She isn't even close to being one, despite her assertions to the contrary— but either way, the crux doesn't seem all that different. He should've believed in Bae when he'd been given the chance. ]

How did you find your son?

[cliver]

Then color me impressed by your minimal panache.

[cliver]

And I'm sorrier that I know you've had it worse.

But we're both all right now, so that only speaks to our strength.

[ ON THE BRIGHT SIDE. ]

[stimulations]

Then my not answering won't skew any results, I suppose.

Post-Schism. The Schism being the near-apocalyptic event of the A.I. attempting to permanently disconnect humanity from the Virtual.

[cliver]

Understandably, but there are other girls out there in these great big universes.

[stimulations]

Yes. And I'll take the scare quotes to mean you don't remember.

[alsohawkeye]

Nope, you're all good.

If I ask 'the Virtual what?' does it force you into a long and tedious explanation? Because I'm curious but I know explaining your world to people over and over can get boring.

[cliver]

Teachers are very under appreciated, you know. I'm plenty proud to be one.

[alsohawkeye]

I don't actually have powers, I'm 100% normal human. I'm just really, really good at shooting things.

[unmakes]

sirius, if you're reading this, let it be known
that he said it, not me
i'm just saying

p.s. you've been here like 10x as long, how am i winning

[alsohawkeye]

It's a similar group of people, at least the Avengers in your world have been most of the main ones in mine. Thor, Iron Man, Captain America. But there's basically like decades worth of stuff that's happened in my universe but I guess hasn't in yours. In yours this is all pretty new, right? The Avengers and alien invasions and stuff?

[cliver]

[ got it in one. ]

Bit inevitable now, isn't it? Sorry about that.

[ the rules of time travel and all. ]
