Q&A As Your Character! - New Questions 7/8

1.) What’s your favorite quote?

"Somewhere along the lines about life flashes by like cherry blossoms, beautiful but fragile and short-lived. Interesting fact is that I heard it from somebody I hate."

2.) Who’s the most interesting historical figure?

"The first Emperor of the Resuris Dynasty; Idis the Wise, my ancestor. He was a scholar with very good brains, an inspiration for me even though I may not agree with some of his believes."

3.) How do you prefer to travel?

"By air, of course."

4.) Where’s the best view?

5.) Pick a city to rename, explain why the new name is better or why the old one was worse.

"St Aeryn. Why should the name of the capital city be named after some person from a religion that controls people by spreading fear? "

Already on week three of questions. Time really do be flying by.

Oooh, this is interesting! I'll answer these as Claas:

1.) Is it better to fail by doing too much or doing too little?
"Too much. Easy pick." Claas runs a hand through his hair, taking a moment to collect his thoughts. "If you do everything you can and you still fail, at least you can be at peace that you gave it your best shot, you know? Otherwise you're always gonna be stuck in the ifs and buts and what-ifs."

2.) If you could make one thing bigger or smaller, what and why?
"My mom's house, probably. It's just the one room really. She had the bed and my sisters and me used to sleep up in the loft, we had a rug there that we slept on. In a bigger house maybe we could've had a room and a bed. That would've been nice."

3.) What's the optimal number of pillows and blankets?
"I get a bed of my own now with my own pillow and blanket! So that's an improvement. Sharing isn't always nice, especially not with my sisters cause they're always moving around and pulling on the blanket. Having one for yourself is perfect, most of the time. Sometimes in the winter I guess I could use a second blanket though, so imma go with... two. Two blankets and one pillow is perfect."

4.) Name a food you don't eat often enough.
"Huh... I eat pretty well these days, actually. Food and board come with the job. But... cheese. There's no such thing as enough cheese."

5.) Who do you get nervous around?
"My boss." That too is an easy answer. "And the aristocrats. They always look at me like, well, either like I'm a cockroach in their tea cup, y'know, something gross that doesn't belong... or like I'm a table or something. Just something that's there that they don't have to really look at. I... I don't like that."

1.) Is it better to fail by doing too much or doing too little?

"Too little. If you fail by doing too much, you lose precious resources and still get an awful outcome - as opposed to failing by doing too little, where you can still recover with the resources you have left."

2.) If you could make one thing bigger or smaller, what and why?

"I'd make the guild's sleeping quarters larger. A lot of our members don't have anywhere but the streets or the guild, and I'd prefer for them to have more space so they don't feel crowded so frequently."

3.) What's the optimal number of pillows and blankets?

"As many as you can get your hands on. The warmer, the safer, the better."

4.) Name a food you don't eat often enough.

"Caramel apples - they just aren't sold all that often, and they're difficult for me to identify and steal when they are being sold. Gods they're tasty though - have you ever had one where the apple within is perfectly crisp, with that little bit of sharpness that outweighs the sweet? It's glorious."

5.) Who do you get nervous around?

"I'm obviously not going to share that information with you. What do take me for, a fool? Sharing weaknesses like that.."

1.) Is it better to fail by doing too much or doing too little?
 "Defnetevely too much. Anyone can - and should - held themselves to high enough standards not to give up without a good fight. The only way for one to growth is by pushing themselves to the max. Failure when you give up all of yourself is an earned one - even if the result is not wht you expect"

2.) If you could make one thing bigger or smaller, what and why?
  I'd make our mountains taller. This would keep those pesky harpies from entering our caves and stealing our food, It would also hide and protect our flock from predators and the unstable wheater.

3.) What's the optimal number of pillows and blankets?
 "Pillows? What's that? If you mean haystacks for my nest i suppose only one is enough. I prefer sleep standing anyways"

4.) Name a food you don't eat often enough.
  Bear trouts. They have a very long mating cicle and they only come back every once two or three years, and fishing them is a laborious and boring chore. They can get quite big and can put up a big fight. However hey are a very rare delicacy, especially if left to dry in the sun with herbs, where the numb meat becomes salty and slightly bitter."

5.) Who do you get nervous around?
  "The flock leader Dhalia. She is terribly strict and serious. Failure is never an option for her, and if I want to become a captain in this flock i need to know how to present myself formally around her. She's not punitive nor unjust, but her fierce eyes haunt my dreams.

This game is fun, please put me on the pinglist^^

1.) Is it better to fail by doing too much or doing too little?

”Well…best not to at all, isn’t it? I suppose too much, since you can’t regret not trying. I find I always feel worse when a situation goes south knowing I could have done something to prevent it. Even if I mess up by over-doing it, at least I tried, right?”

2.) If you could make one thing bigger or smaller, what and why?

“If it counts, I’d like to make myself taller….” 

3.) What's the optimal number of pillows and blankets?

”I don‘t really think it matters that much, does it? Just as long as it’s comfortable. That being said, three pillows and two blankets seems just about right.”

4.) Name a food you don't eat often enough.

”Pancakes, maybe? Any of those…those fancy sort of breakfast foods, really. Breakfast isn’t really that significant to my routine…”

5.) Who do you get nervous around?

”Oh, well, there’s Lucy…and Raven, Camilla….Cole, Levi, Crow, Jackson…not Eva, that’s for certain….I feel like I’m forgetting a few…”

1.) Is it better to fail by doing too much or doing too little?

“Too little, I guess, ’cause if you do too much, then you‘re already involved and have a big mess to clean up. If I can ignore the situation in the first place, then it turns into someone else’s problem eventually. Like, if the tap starts leaking, and I try and fix it, it’s my fault if I screw up, and I gotta pay for damages. If I just let it do that until the pipes, like, burst or something, then management has to cover flood damage and plumbing ‘n stuff.” 

2.) If you could make one thing bigger or smaller, what and why?

 “Oooohohoho WELL-“

3.) What's the optimal number of pillows and blankets?

”Like, one of each? I don’t see why the hell you‘d need more.”

4.) Name a food you don't eat often enough.

”Ask Liz, she’ll say salad. That’s not true though, I don’t need ‘vegetables’, I’m built different.”

5.) Who do you get nervous around?

”uhhhhh I dunno? I’m the one folks are supposed to get nervous around! I’m hot AND I’m smart, who wouldn’t be intimidated?“

1.) Is it better to fail by doing too much or doing too little?

 I'd say when you do too much. When one puts such amount of effort it's because we look for the best result and we'll being of the client, right? At least you would hope for it to succed after putting the dedication

2.) If you could make one thing bigger or smaller, what and why?

 Probably my driveway bigger... It would be nice to fit my work van there better.

3.) What's the optimal number of pillows and blankets?

One for me!

4.) Name a food you don't eat often enough.

I didn't had artichokes on anything for a while...

5.) Who do you get nervous around?

*lowers voice tone* Don't tell anyone I said this. And I don't want to seem disrespectful... but to name one probably quiet reserved people could make the effect.

 Doesn't matter the sex! Regarding work space, as friendly as you are around them they will still look at you from above with their heads up and in silence. As if your nice intents bounced back...  The fact that they stay towering next to me with the same demeanor when I'm down there doing my work is not any more helpful... It looks like they are staring right at your soul, reading your entire person and judging your every move,,, quite.. intimidating if you ask me, hah hah... But I will still be as friendly as I would be with anyone, I don't have anything against them! <: )

 But luckily I manage well with all my clients on the end of the day (3

1.) Is it better to fail by doing too much or doing too little?

...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

THE WORLD IS IN NEED OF TOO MUCH!!! CONSTANTLY! EVERY DAY! EACH OF US EXISTS IRREVOKABLY, AT A MAGNITUDE THAT CAN NOT BE UNDONE- AND THEN WE ARE TOLD TO UNDO IT ANYWAY, TO BE QUIET AND LOGICAL AND WITHOUT CONTRADICTION. IT IS OUR GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO BE TOO MUCH!! TO BE BURNING AND BEAUTIFUL AND ALIVE!!!! SO OVER EXTEND YOURSELF, SO SING OFF KEY AND MISUSE YOUR TOOLS AND SUBMIT WILDLY IMPROBABLE THEORIES TO YOUR LOCAL SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY AND FAIL, FAIL GLORIOUSLY, FAIL LOUDLY AND THEN DANCE ON THE ASHES OF YOUR COLLATERAL DAMAGE!! 

TO FAIL BY DOING TOO MUCH IS CALLED GROWTH.

2.) If you could make one thing bigger or smaller, what and why?

I WOULD SHRINK MYSELD DOWN TO THE SUB-ATOMIC LEVEL AND GET A LOAD OF THAT STRING THEORY. IF I SOMEHOW MANAGE TO MAINTAIN MY OWN BODILY COMPLEXITY AT SUCH A SCALE, SUCH THAT I AM STILL IN POSESSION OF MY MIND RATHER THAN GETTING COSMICALLY SPAGHETTIFIED, I IMAGINE IT WOULD BE LIKE DESCENDING INTO A NEW WORLD! A WORLD THAT WE MAY HAVE THE BAREST BLUEPRINTS TO UNDERSTAND! THE ABILITY TO SCULPT AND SHAPE NUCLEI LIKE CITADELS, THE ABILITY TO REARRANGE ATOMS LIKE THE ALCHEMISTS OF LEGEND! 

AND THEN ID PROBABLY GET STUCK LIKE THAT, DOOMED TO DIE ALONE WITHOUT PASSING ON THE GIFT OF KNOWLEDGE TO MY FELLOW SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY, BECAUSE THIS QUESTION NEVER SPECIFIED HOW MANY TIMES YOU COULD MAKE ONE THING BIGGER OR SMALLER. AND THEN I'D GO PLAY PING PONG WITH SOME QUARKS.

3.) What's the optimal number of pillows and blankets?

WHAT COUNTS ISN'T THE AMOUNT OF PILLOWS YOU HAVE, NOR THE AMOUNT OF BLANKETS. WHAT COUNTS IS THE STRENGTH OF YOUR GRAVITY VORTEX. I LIKE TO BE PRESSED ON ALL SIDES LIKE A LITTLE RADIUM PANINI, WITH ONE (1) TO THREE (3) STUFFED CREATURES OF VARRYING ABOMINATION TO ACCOMPANY ME.

4.) Name a food you don't eat often enough.

MY ROOMATE SAYS ALL OF THEM, BUT I THINK HE IS BIASED BECAUSE HE'S CONCERNED THAT I ""DISAPPEAR"" INTO MY ""LABORATORY"" AND ""FORGET TO EAT FOR 12 HOURS AT A TIME"". 
I DONT KNOW WHY I PUT AIR QUOTES THERE. THOSE ARE ALL ACCURATE STATEMENTS.
BUT I DO EAT!! I DO MAKE THE PROPER SACRIFICES TO MY MEAT PRISON WHEN STAND UP FROM MY DESK, AND REMEMBER THAT I AM MORE THAN A ELECTRIC MEAT TRAPPED IN A SKELETON. I SUPPOSE MY PROBLEMS WITH EATING ARE MORE PROBLEMS WITH THE PROCESS OF COOKING, WHICH TAKES TOO LONG, AND ALSO I KEEP ACCIDENTALLY MAKING BIOWEAPONS. SO "ANYTHING THAT CAN'T BE MICROWAVED" IS WHAT I DON'T EAT ENOUGH OF.

5.) Who do you get nervous around?

I DONT LIKE THIS QUESTION. WHY DO YOU KEEP WANTING TO KNOW ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO I HAVE ADVERSE REACTIONS TO. FINE!! SINCE I SKIPPED THE LAST ONE ILL ACTUALLY ANSWER THIS

THERE MAY BE- SOME INDIVIDUALS IN MY MORE IMMEDIATE AREA WHO I FIND. EMOTIONALLY COMPLICATED. TO DEAL WITH. PARTIALLY DUE TO A SHARED HISTORY THAT IS TOO LONG AND TOO EXHAUSTING TO TRULY UNPACK. THERE'S SOME QUOTE ABOUT, "THE AX FORGIVES WHAT THE TREE REMEMBERS" THAT COMES TO MIND, THOUGH. SOMETIMES PEOPLE GET TO LIVE EASIER LIVES BECAUSE THEY HURT YOU, AND SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO APOLOGIZE.

(Once more, add me to the pinglist! :D I am very much enjoying applying these questions to my neon chaos mess.)
