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!

Messes with sleeping and is really awkward to explain to a cop when I show up at a crime scene. But I'm getting used to it.

I would probably kill for a little more control over it though. Just because it's— it's pretty heavy.

[notmarieanymore]

I can imagine. You get nightmares then, too?

[acapriciousthing]

It does seem to. Most confuse us for gods, when we aren't at all.

Ned claimed that wasn't the case.

[the_other_eight]

Is that what you were doing while we all thought you were dead?

[lostsoldier]

that's one way to put it.

[ oh look a subject change! ]

who's your friend?

[ He hasn't reported her to Security. Elizabeth's right; that's the sensible approach, but something's kept him from it. He doesn't want to dwell on it, so the diversion's taken without hesitation. ]

You don't need to apologize. [ Genuine, though the follow-up's a bit flat. ] I'm fine. Thank you.

[ Peeta almost leaves it there, but there's a vague memory of something else. The brief conversation at the jump, the mention of her mother. ] Did she wake up?

[mathematically]

Sort of? It's kind of weird to explain. Sometimes I do, sometimes I just get bad feelings that wake me up. Normally I don't just dream dead bodies though, if that's what you're asking.

[inafadingcrown]

It does not surprise me. The same is true of the Valar. It is a simple explanation, I suppose- easier to understand than the truth of things. Perhaps that is why it is so favored.

[notmarieanymore]

Not really. Just bad dreams on the whole. I've got a lot of experience with 'em.

I am gladdened to hear such. Truth be told, I have been worried. ( about him. and his odd shift in demeanor since his departure and subsequent return.

and she will never so much as dare to ask what happened while he was away. but obviously, it was serious. but the topic changes swiftly, and she has not the chance to speak further on the matter. elizabeth pauses briefly, the silence weighty and telling. )

Yes. Yes, I thank you, she did.

[skjalf]

Pardon me, but what I am into? What does that mean?

( her brows rise at his boldness, but recovers quickly with a grin. )

If I do so, then Cesare would also insist upon it. Then all who attend would have no choice but to follow suit.

Is this to be a Yule celebration or a pagan fertility rite?

( deflecting his obvious advances with gentle humour is the only way she knows how to. he is a friend, and all-told, she would not be cruel to him. he knows her boundaries, or so she should hope! )

[uncurse]

It'd sure as hell help me kick her ass and take him back.

[alionsheart]

Sometimes it's our only recourse, even when it pertains to family. Though, not terribly pleasant, I'd imagine.

Private to Katniss

[striking]

Maybe sometimes it isn't.

[ she went home. or she remembered home.]

But I think sometimes it is.

[overdraws]

No? [ Because we're pretending this is taking place before Isaac and/or Scott showed her the way oops. ]

[fe_male]

It was a late reply! Who else thought I was dead?

[acapriciousthing]

Probably. In the end, it doesn't really matter what they think I am. I exist regardless.

Re: Private to Katniss

[the_other_eight]

We might want to collect evidence on that.

[Because Katniss is probably right.]

[the_other_eight]

I meant what you were doing back home.

[inafadingcrown]

True enough, though there is a certain comfort in being understood. [Mind you, it's not exactly everyone who can claim to understand her either. And she's only an elf- a very powerful elf, but an elf all the same.]

[trusted]

on the market and a bargain at the price.

[Hi, Darcy.]

[trusted]

Yeah, interesting. Stopped aging at a certain point, or... what was it? Stasis?

[He's not actually an idiot, he can just do a real good impression. Stasis. If she doesn't tell him, someone will.]

[trusted]

so i hear. ever heard of something called stasis?

[c24]

Sorry there's no room for it in this finely-tuned machine. A hint of it would just throw off the balance and that's not good.

So when's the present?
