QUESTION FOR A QUESTION MEME

We all like hearing about each other's characters! We all like talking about our own characters! With this groundbreaking new meme, now you can finally do both, for the very first time in DWRP history!

The Guidelines:

• Post a toplevel listing the characters you play! If you have any boundaries you want to set re: questions you might receive (e.g. "No NSFW questions for this character"), do that here too.
  
• Tag other people asking them questions about their characters. What kinds of questions? Up to you! Canon questions, headcanon questions, meta questions, some random thing you've wondered since that thread you had two months ago, it's all fair game.
  
• Need ideas? I was passed this excellent gallery of various questions memes, so feel free to crib from these or just use them as inspiration.
  
• Answer the questions you receive, and, once you've done that, hit the person back with a question of your own about their character(s) too!
  
• You can end it there, or continue to go back and forth asking questions until you're out.
  

Now get to askin'!

Tellllll me about Rinea's thoughts on Avalon's modern-ish tech!

[groundzeroes]

Honestly? Rinea is lowkey terrified of it LMFAO!! Just because... it never seems to end! there's always something! There's always fuckin' something!! And then she'll forget how to use something she already learned once, but everyone around her uses everything so easily, and it's just... mortifying to be so behind all the time and have to ask for help.

Even so, she's doing pretty well for someone who didn't even have electricity back home. She doesn't check the network a ton and so misses important information sometimes, but she's graduated from three paragraph letters to one paragraph, and even manages video sometimes!! Kadoc showed her how to use Venmo once!!! The librarians can help her use the online search if she gets stuck lookin for a book!! Lots of things. And retaining a sense of wonder over her surroundings isn't bad. Maybe it helps other characters around her not take everything for granted quite as much, too.

For Maruki: how does he deal with stress? Clearly he doesn't have a great relationship to pain, but he hasn't erased his own yet. LOL

OH NO... she's the cutest. And yes, tech would be very terrifying to someone who knows fuck all of it.

Maruki and stress... I think he handles this better than pain! I think it would be hard to argue that he isn't good at handling stress, given the fact he survived university, survived research grant propositions and did it well enough that he almost had his own research facility for a relatively... supernatural field of psychology. I feel like he is the kind of person who sees his own stress as a sign he's going in the right direction Nic stop playing workaholics. I think he also uses the stress of work as a distraction from his sorrow, so it's kind of a relief. Being stressed about work usually means there's something he can do, some way to fix it. He's — clearly — the kind of guy who needs to solve problems, otherwise he probably would have taken a different track with his research.

Aaaand tell me something selfless Rei has done.

skfkaLKFFKkf starts bawling. MARUKIIIIIIIIIII *slam dunks him onto a cruise ship, forcing him to both grieve and have a good time*

Rei??? Selfless?????????? REI??????? SELFLESS?????????????!?!?!?????? Those two words should never be in a sentence together unless "isn't" is between them sslfdh;ssa rei has spent over twenty years styling himself into the kind of person who always has the illusion of getting Something out of every interaction he performs.

even so... the work he puts into something versus the gain he gets out of it can be really unbalanced. Like... Rei did NOT have to repair sasara's and rosho's entire relationship with his own two hands just so he could have a spot in the rap tournament. He also didn't have to better the life of an NPC in the manga just to get a peek at the guy's research-- Rei could have just taken it instead of running around to improve everyone's circumstances in the process. Basically Rei has done a lot of genuinely underhanded stuff, but also half of it is smoke and mirrors. I mean, his magnum opus is a device that ended global warfare...... for all of his shittiness, he's surprisingly aspirational about goodness! I think he acts slightly less self-interested than usual in Avalon too, because (in a sense) the stakes are lower... but if can turn an interaction into an advantage, whether immediately or later down the line, he absolutely will. Lol

ok now give me.... (throws dart) a pet peeve of izumi's. she is so cute and nice. i wanna know what she HATES

[morns]

We don't do cruises in TYOOL 2021 GOSH.

Also Rei just admit you're a nice person. do it. relevant.

Aaaand people who use roux to make curry, duh. THAT SHORTCUT IS A CULINARY HERESY. BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE ART OF CURRY. She also has no time for Masumi hitting oh her but who can blame her.

closing my eyes and scrolling gave me "what's their favourite hobbies / pastimes?" so. /chinhands at. player's pick for who you answer that for.
