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!

I can understand the appeal. And I hear there's a lot to be done in Eningeering just keeping things up and running even when crazed crew members aren't trying to destroy it.

[alsohawkeye]

[ Kate's smile is sympathetic. It's an unnerving thing to learn, that's for sure. ] It would be because of the stasis fluid in the pods, and the nanites in our systems. They're already keeping us alive during the jumps, which is even more unnatural. I don't understand the details of the science involved, but it's definitely possible - even likely - that large amounts of time are passing instead of the minutes we think it is.

[skjalf]

( unnerving is right; lizzie has to suppress a shiver. )

These -- these nanites -- someone should investigate them more closely. If so much time is passing, then what else might be occurring while we are asleep? How does this ship function without us to run it?

These are questions I might never have thought of before now.

[alsohawkeye]

[ He's kind of a jerk, right? ]

I'm surprised we didn't meet at one of the firing ranges before now, but I guess we must work on different floors.

[uncurse]

Thank god for that.

So what kind of alien? I mean not the invading kind, obviously. That'd make a crap friend.

[lucyandme]

I suppose. It seems many things are possible here.

[endureandsurvive]

wait how do they kick the ball if they have foot knives?

[Jesus you people and your sports - seriously confusing.]

[civilwarring]

Will do. I'll put you contact number on it too. You know, just in case anyone has any follow up questions.

--Aaaand that's a little horrible, just saying. You clearly need some poorer friends, just throwing that out there. We're talking two dollar bottle of wine poor here.

[alsohawkeye]

Maybe I'll just come blow the whole department, would that be enough, you think?

You know what else is horrible? Two dollar wine, Aidan. Even if you make it into sangria. Everyone says that helps but it doesn't. I will be friends with whoever, but can I buy them some half-decent wine?

[toomuchtenacity]

How did you get that job?

Are you royalty?

[likescats]

Very odd. I cannot speak for all Deaths but killing people seems a ...misguided way of courting them...us.

He certainly sounds unbalanced.

[likescats]

No this form is the one I had in my own world as well. I know of other worlds that have their own versions but cannot speak to all of them of course.

[shallbeavenged]

A little.

[toomuchtenacity]

Do you know many robots?

[toomuchtenacity]

How do I know you won't run off with them?

[likescats]

I am quite used to this reaction. Most people I only have one conversation with. At least that was the way things worked in my own world.

[doggedly]

please dont tell me youre purposefully cultivating slightly weird hair just for the sake of gnomes


dont be a martyr r. j. lupin

[doggedly]

1. gnomes never mean well but yet i do find him weirdly adorable
minus any extraneous jumpers
1a. + 1b. are you suggesting some sort of 3 person date for hair evaluation
(really more like 3 person + loads of gnomes)

[doggedly]

i love you too & not just for the points



(careful of the glittery wolf on the back couldnt get him to stop trying to bite)

[doggedly]

Well, it's not exactly mind reading, is it, 'cos a mind isn't like a book you can just pick up and read through. There's loads going on in there. But I think that's sort of in favour of your not-sure-I-want-that-power argument. Loads of things you don't want to know.

To make up for it, I'll make myself an open book to you. Then you won't need any magical abilities or surveys.

[doggedly]

And in less-than-gowns as well.

[That's half-muttered to himself, slightly mutinous--but she's right, unfortunately; she's completely right on all points.]

If I give you the best space Christmas you've ever seen, will your beautifully sweet and intelligent heart be satisfied? Or will you want a second Christmas the day after.

[alsohawkeye]

Oh yeah? [ Kate doesn't sound like she's taking that offer very (ahem) seriously. But her amusement's the genuine sort, because he is funny not because she's laughing at him. On the other hand, some people would probably offer to turn this into a reciprocal Twenty Questions or something and Kate is not that nice. ] Okay, Sirius Black. What birthday will you be having here in space and when?

[doggedly]

1. youre a liar is what you are

2. ooo im getting another prophecy: you will not go to that effort just to prove me wrong

3. davy macdougal in ravenclaw had 3 thats who youre thinking of
& then blishwick in slytherin he had a pair as well
they were crap so he never bragged about them unlike everything else in his life
but macdougals were brilliant
possibly laid eggs in your hair are you thinking?

4. i think ill bite you

5. if you start with that then: congratulations

[doggedly]
