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!

[alsohawkeye]

It never actually occurred to me until right now that Stiles might not really be your name.

[de_void]

who names their kid stiles stilinski

[alsohawkeye]

1. I didn't know that was your last name, either. 2. I don't know your life, maybe your parents were assholes. Really intensely Polish assholes.

[de_void]

the really intensely polish part is right i guess. at least on my mom's side.

my real name is basically unpronounceable

[alsohawkeye]

There was a while where I was mad at my parents for giving me such an intensely generic name but at least no one ever mispronounces it. But hey, maybe there's an alien on board whose language makes them perfectly suited to saying yours, or something.

[de_void]

a polish alien?

[alsohawkeye]

I was thinking more like an alien whose language includes sounds similar to the weirder bits of Polish, but who knows?

[de_void]

that would be incredibly strange

on the other hand, it's been so long i'm not sure if i could pronounce it either, so i'm not sure what the point would be

[alsohawkeye]

That's got to be pretty weird, right? Not being able to pronounce your own name?

[de_void]

well i haven't really heard it in eight years

[alsohawkeye]

No judgment I mean I guess I can see how it could happen if it's really been that long, I'm just finding it hard to imagine. Like does it even count as your name at that point, except legally?

[de_void]

probably not. i think only like, my dad and maybe my coach know what my real name even looks like.

i think it's even on all of my school paperwork. 'stiles' that is.

[alsohawkeye]

Might be handy if you ever need to go on the run, you've basically created an alias for yourself already. Nobody will ever think to look for your real name.

[de_void]

that... is an excellent idea, actually
