This is a variation of a game that was played on the forum where the first Metro City RPs were started. It's a great way to develop your character(s)!

THE RULES:
The character in the hotseat is asked questions by the rest of the forum. They should ideally be questions directed at that character and answered in-character as though to a trusted friend. Also acceptable are questions directed at the character's player about technical, rhetorical, and methodological concerns related to playing their character in Metro City RP or about quality roleplaying in general. This second kind of question is less fun to ask AND to answer, though. After a character answers three questions, they choose the author of one of the three and sticks their character on the hotseat next. Obviously, no asking questions with your own alt, and give everyone a chance on the hotseat.

I'll go first! Let 'er rip!

Boxers, briefs, boxer briefs, commando, or delicate pink thong panties?

[Boreas]

Red: Briefs under the suit. I mean, I didn't really have a choice...boxers bunch up. It's boxers when I'm not in costume, though. Gotta let the boys breathe every once in a while.

If you were going to marry a US President, which one would you pick? (Note: The dead ones are not dead. You don't have to/cannot marry a corpse.)

[Boreas]

Taryn: I can't marry a corpse? Balls. Corpses are totally my thing.

I could marry Kennedy if it weren't for that goddamn fucking accent. Holy shit. If they'd ever elected Franklin president, it'd be him, hands down, absolutely. Under the present circumstances I'd give it...a three-way tie between Polk, Jefferson, and Clinton. I'd make them all court me and I'd act all demure before I made my choice. Or we could just be in a superhero/president polyamorous relationship. You know you'd fucking watch that reality show.

Question for the character: What is the most beautiful view you've ever seen? Have you been there, or do you plan to visit? If you have one, share a picture.

[Boreas]

Nick: Right after I graduated high school, my parents had a moment where they went "CAMERON! YOU'RE HALF GREEK AND HALF JEWISH! YOU HAVE HOMELANDS." So we went and saw them. Three weeks in the Mediterranean from mid-June to the end of the first week in July. It was...pretty B.A.



That's the Acropolis at Athens. It's probably the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, and I've flown over Metro City at night.


Taryn is up.

Do wings interfere with things like swimming?

[Taryn Thoreau]

Sort of. They help streamline you underwater, but they get in the way when you're just treading water. Thankfully, I don't have to keep my wings on all the time.

[Boreas]

Favorite musical?

[Crimson Defender]

What would make you use a gun?

I would use one to shoot the little wooden ducks at the fair. But not the bunnies! Poor little bunnies.

Crimson Defender you're up!

[The Ancient]

What is your favorite legend? Classical, medieval, or modern, I don't care.

[Crimson Defender]

Probably Scorpion and the Frog. Nature can be kind of a douchebag sometimes...

[Nick Temin]

If you could change one major thing about your life, whether a relationship, your job, your living situation, your school, etc., what would it be?

[Crimson Defender]

I've seen that Trek episode where Picard gets turned into a crappy blueshirt lieutenant too many times to want to change anything about my life. I've had some stuff that sucked, but it's all made me me, y'know? And, all things said, I kinda like me. Sounds vain, but there it is.

[Taryn Thoreau]

You are in the desert. You see a tortoise lying on his back in the hot sun. You recognize his plight but do nothing to help. Why?

[Crimson Defender]

He's the reason I'm there. (Although, even then, I'd probably pick him up and take him with me so I could toss his shell-covered ass in jail.)

Nickiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii... oh NICKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII...

[Nick Temin]

Oh dear.

[Actaeon]

You've got to marry either Ginger or Mary-Anne from Gilligan's island. Who and why?
