    Hey, this seemed like fun, and since Azure offered, I guess I'm joining. Since this seems like a pretty squishy party, I'll be the brawn of the group. I'm thinking of an Elvish Fighter. The current name I'm thinking of is Glanoa Sietrovich. I'll get back to you on her character details later.

    So are we rolling or doing point-by for stats? I normally just do Point-By, since it's way more balanced, but if we're rolling that's alright.

    I wasn't sure if defaulting to Gen II units was the best idea for assigning units, but my line of thinking was that Gen I units could be used as fathers at the very least and thus could be potentially more useful over the entire game in an indirect way cause of inheritance. I didn't want to assign them totally randomly cause it felt like too much RNG. I'd probably change how units would be assigned in future drafts. I didn't really have a system set up for this ahead of time cause I thought 24 hours would be enough time to pick units :(:.

    It might just turn into a "Crimsonvolt gets the best Gen 2 team ever, while having almost no Gen 1 game" kind of draft.

    @DarthR0xasTerrador can't be given Lachesis cause he already has one of her substitute children. Actually he has both I just noticed. 

    This is a rule that was in the old SOYO drafts cause it prevents people from ending up with half of their team unrecruitable.

    Oh, my bad. Skimmed the rules and missed that one. Makes sense why no one was doing that in hindsight, I thought it was a fairly obvious strategy. I'll just give him Linda.

    I see. Why Roxas in particular? Why not DarthD0nald?

    Because I like Roxas. He's my favorite KH character, one of my favorite characters of all time, and also fun to play as. Also, screw Donald. He was only good as a companion in KH3, and in that game I literally couldn't understand him half the time and had to read the subtitles to understand his gibberish.

    Some interest. Nothing major, I occasionally look over whatever philosophy book stands out to me at my local library. I don't try to get into many debates about philosophy, politics are my strong point.

    Opinions on Tolkien?

    I've tried reading them a couple times, but I've been kinda bored or fell asleep every time I've read him. Love his work, mainly since all of fantasy has in some way taken from it and despite me not being able to read it, it is immensely interesting once you get past the initial hurtle.

    you know you had a period from like september 2015 - 2017 where you could have snatched Roxas from me why didn't you 

    I wasn't around on this website at that time. I might've lurked a bit, grabbed a translation patch, checked some info, but I didn't actually join until around 8 months ago. And by that point I had already been using the current handle that I do now for a good couple years. I like this one, so even if I could I probably wouldn't just do "Roxas"

    6. Favorite moment as a DM in D&D?

    Probably the session that my players became hat merchants. The reason they became hat merchants is due to one of my players (a human barbarian) said that he was going to skin a kobold to make a hat. He was probably joking, but I had him roll, and he of course got a 20. So after that battle, instead of going to the next one they double back to town and start selling/making kobold skin hats. Due to some more great rolls on their part, and poor rolls on mine, they were doing surprisingly well, and since I wanted to see how far this could go, I introduced a few NPC who would give them an investment to start up a hat shop since they thought their hats were that good. About an hour later, I could see some of my players were getting bored, so I decided to have some pissed off kobolds attack the place. One thing led to another, and somehow the doors were locked from the outside while the building was on fire. I forget whether the wizard cast a water or an ice spell, but it was enough to protect the players from the fire. After that battle, with their shop and some other buildings being burnt and destroyed, my players put the business behind them, and went back to the main quest. But to this day, one of my players always tries to get a kobold hat, no matter the methodology.

    7. Favorite moment as a player in D&D?

    There are two. Both from the same campaign. I was playing a Geonosi (who was actually a human because the DM I had at the time was an indecisive git who went back on his word but never told me) Paladin named Berkut. We started the campaign on a boat, and we were attacked by another boat of kobolds. The DM forgot to tell us two important details about this boat. 1. There was a crazy powerful old wizard on this boat, 2. That there were more people than just us on this boat. So since this was my first time as a player in a long while (I mostly DM), I decided to have some fun. I climbed the mast, fired an arrow, and the next turn I look my friend dead in the eyes and tell him "I want to glide over there." My plan was to use my robes to act as a paraglider of sorts, and for me to glide over to the kobold boat, a boat that had an absurd number of kobolds, and take them all out single handedly. The DM, after trying to stop me from doing this about 5 times, let me roll. I have notoriously poor luck, ones and twos for days. So I roll a three. The DM says I fall into the ropes of the sails, getting tangled and caught up in them. Two turns later, I cut myself somewhat loose and fall onto the deck below. I'm still prone and tangled, but then I have an idea. I think back to that one boat map in Awakening, and I think to use the boat as a fiery battering ram and set the enemy ship on fire. So I tell the DM that I want to set the boat on fire. My fellow players are either hardline against it, or love the idea, about a 50/50 split, and the DM is giving the whole, "are you sure about that" thing to me. I say yes, pass an easy roll since I was so close and only my bottom half was actually tangled, and set the boat on fire. It is at that point, that I hear a chorus of screams from under the boat, and the DM informs me people were on board. Then the powerful wizard dude comes out, and the kobolds start to flee, but not before my friend, a dwarven fighter named Flappy Beard chucks an anchor onto that ship, and then gets another one of my friends, the ranger I think, to throw him over to the ship. He gets there, basically gets instarecked, and runs away. A session later, we come across a village of Gnolls. Most of the party just want to move past it, but me and the rogue are conspiring. We want to burn down the village, since the DM mentioned some sweet loot, but I didn't want to actually fight them. So I tell him that I want to burn it down, everyone but the Rogue is telling me not to do it, some because it's dumb, others because I'm the only Lawful Good character in the party who is at this point a literal pyromaniac. Anyways, I roll. I get a 2, as per usual, but at this point I do something a little sneaky. You see, two is right next to 20, so a little bump makes my two a 20. So I burned down their entire village. We then finished our quest of delivering a caravan to the Elvish king, and right as I was trying to say how we too care of that Gnoll camp to the south, so we could get more gold, an army of angry Gnolls appears over the hills. Needless to say, that king was less than pleased, and we were promptly kicked out of the capital.

    8. The General Tabletop thread contains stuff about D&D. What would you think of being a player in a campaign, should that come around (Bhoop is DM)?

    I'd say I'd be fairly interested in doing so. As I said, I don't get to be player often, so that would be fun.

    9. Who’s that now in your pfp?

    That was Julia from FE4, and also the change was completely unintentional. I lost a bet over on Discord with a couple of buddies, and my price was changing my pfp to whatever character he wanted. He chose Julia, I found the pic. What I forgot was the my pfp on the Forest was synced to Discord, so changing it on Discord led to it being changed here. Real big brain moment on my part.

    10. Has that meme you’ve shown literally happened in a game you hosted before?

    Not quite like that. For one, they seduced both the mayor AND his wife, since where's the fun in only doing one of them? That and the village they burnt down wasn't the same village as that mayor and wife. It was some other village, probably a kobold one, since it was the same campaign as the hat thing.

    1. First and current impressions of me?

    2. What made Felicia your waifu?

    3. Favorite meme?

    4. What are your current studies?

    5. Favorite KH gameplay moment (aside from anything in 3, I have yet to play that).

    1. I'll be honest, I don't have much of an opinion on you. I've seen some of your posts floating around, you seem to like Tiki, which shows me you have good taste. You've posted some decent stuff, made that Fates/Awakening Support board that I occasionally glance at. You seem pretty chill.

    2. A combination of an amazing design, a decent amount of screen-time compared to most minor characters, and her personality. Felicia looks great, that's basically a fact. She has one of the best character designs in Fates. Since she is a character that sticks with the Avatar for all three paths, she gets a decent amount of screen time. Sure, it's no Nohr/Hoshido Royals screentime, but it's around the same amount Kaze gets, which is enough to get a good enough impression of her character that I feel the desire to dig deeper. And what I found was an adorably clumsy girl with a will and stubborn resolve to try her hardest. I really like traits like that, so they drew me closer to her.

    3. Probably this one:

    Mainly since I'm a DM

    4. Currently I'm just doing some basic school stuff. Bio, World History, that junk. Next year I''ll get into some more interesting stuff, like the Theory of Knowledge.

    5. I'd say basically all of KH2, but I'll narrow it down a tad more. I'd say anytime you get one of the Data Org Bosses into a position where they take a lot of damage when you're doing it with a form like Final form. Another moment would be the 1000 Heartless fight, although I replayed KH2 recently, and it wasn't quite as cool as I remembered it. Flowmotion was awesome until you realized it was broken and just spammed it. I really enjoyed all the bosses (minus that one flying boss) in 358 Days. I'd probably think of more from other games if KH3 wasn't on the mind. That game has quite a few I'd point out. Also, play on Proud when you get it. Trust me, it's the better option.

    Tell us about some more absurd narrative stuff.

    In KH? Sure. So with the introduction of time travel we get the idea that one can only go to a certain point that their body was already at. This gets abandoned in KH3, by them basically introducing a catch-all plot element that lets them ignore that condition. Another dumb thing is the realm of darkness. It's stated that you need to wear a dark coat (the ones that all those organization nerds are wearing) to be safe, but then Aqua is able to exist just fine without one (she only falls in KH3 due to losing a fight, not since the darkness of the realm destroyed her from within). You could say that it's due to her heart being pure, but then why do Mickey or Sora need special clothes? If there's an answer to that, I don't know, but it's fun to watch.

    Why not DarthRoxas? Why DarthR-Zero-xas?

    DarthR0xas comes from Darth, as in Darth Vader since I'm a Star Wars geek, and Roxas, as in Kingdom Hearts. The zero was a stand in for the o since someone already took "DarthRoxas" when I made it on Youtube about three years ago. I've just kept the zero for consistency. But as for why I don't spell out the zero, that's mainly so it looks nicer. Most people just say Roxas, ignoring the 0, which is what I prefer to happen, so spelling out the zero would be counter-intuitive.

    How was Kingdom Hearts 3?

    Spoiler

    Honestly, it was fine. I'm really underwhelmed by the story, but the gameplay was alright. It's worse than two in almost every area. But I'll start with the one area it destroys 2 in, presentation. The graphics are gorgeous. Legit, drop dead amazing. It felt like I was playing one of the opening movie sequences in KH1 or 2. Graphical effects were on point, loading was surprisingly fast most of the time (I'm not on a PS4 pro so it wasn't instant, but pretty good), and the game only slowed down on me once. With the amount of stuff that can be on screen at once, I thought that was pretty impressive. The story is a cluster-fuck. That much can be expected. The problem is that it's an unsatisfying cluster-fuck. As I said before, I mainly stick with KH for its utter nonsense, and while I did get some of that, there wasn't enough done in a conclusive manner. When half the worlds feel static, and like retelling of movies that Sora barely interacts with, then I'm not having fun with the stories. In KH1 and 2, sure they were mostly retellings of the movies, but you felt like Sora and co were actually there, participating. Here it feels more like Sora and co are in the background, not really doing much. This is sometimes literal, like when Sora and co are literally just sitting on a window in the Tangled world, not even doing anything. That one had me mad since "YOU HAVE CURE" "JUST USE CURE" "OR THOSE KUPO COINS, I HAVE ONE IN MY INVENTORY RIGHT NOW" (Kupo coins are basically automatic revival tokens that are cheap, but you can only hold one of them. I used like 4 of them on Proud). There were some points when this was funny, like Sora and co watching "Let it Go" happen, and they keep commenting on it. Sure, I hated the song, but Sora helped me get through it. The best moments in the game are in the worlds with original stories, where the Disney characters just show they don't care about the plot and just tell whatever villain it is there to screw off. Woody telling Terranort to piss off had me on the floor laughing. And Mike and Sully throwing Vanitas through a door, and then that door through another door, and then that door through another door, one more door, and then shredding that door was also funny. But what was really annoying was the way that the main plot was just shoved aside for most of the game, and then felt rushed at the end. Gameplay was fun, great even. The issue is that when compared to KH2, it's a downgrade. In some ways, this isn't fair. It's a different team, different engine, different software. But then again, they've been working for six years, they have plenty of quality games to look at for inspiration, and they just kinda give us an unbalanced easy mess. Granted, a very entertaining mess, but a mess nonetheless. Attraction commands are basically free summons, with no downsides. The addition of command styles and shotlocks is something I do like, and they're implemented well, but the attraction commands really drag it down.

    Well, obviously they should release Portal 3. Just Portal 3, since that's the only third entry of a series that Valve hasn't put out. Only that one.

    Nah, but seriously I wish him the best. Reggie is a great man, and he should get the rest and time with his family that he deserves. With him leaving, it really feels like the end of an era. The true end of the Iwatta era of Nintendo. It's always sad when something like that ends, a time where Nintendo was off-the-walls, and seemed to have fun even when it was utterly failing with the Wii U. But an end always offers the potential for new beginnings, and great things. Mr. Bowser has big shoes to fill, and I hope that he can properly do so, even if I don't think he has quite the screen presence that Reggie does.

    6. What was it that got you into Fire Emblem?

    7. Is there anything in particular that you would like a sequel to?

    8. Is there a job that you think you would be absolutely terrible at?

    9. Have you seen any commercials that you were a fan of recently? 

    10. If you had all the money, time, and creative freedom necessary to achieve whatever you wanted, what would it be?

    6. It all started around three years ago. I was talking to a friend, who I'm just going to call A. Now this day A had brought his 3Ds to school, and I, being bored at lunch one day, was just watching him play it. That game he was playing was Fire Emblem Fates. After about five minutes of me watching him just play (poorly, might I add, not that I knew at the time), I asked him what he was playing. A said "Oh, it's this game that just came out for the 3Ds. It's Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest." I ask if I could give it a shot, I basically instantly get a unit killed since I have no idea what I was doing. He got kinda mad at me, but since he was playing on Casual mode he didn't really mind. Later that month I hung out with A, and there I asked if I could borrow Conquest. See me and A, we're pretty tight, best-friends. We loan each other games one at a time, mainly so we can guarantee that we'll give each other's games back since we want our own games back. You can never be too sure. Anyways, he said yes, I give him my copy of Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam, I get Conquest. I played on Normal Classic for 15 chapters, then realized I got Azura killed somewhere (I think chapter 10, and yes it took me that long to realize I lost her). So I switched over to Casual mode to get her back. I didn't go into Phoenix mode, even then I had enough pride not to do that. It should be noted that I played like garbage on my first playthrough. I basically fell into every pitfall there was. Horded items, namely staves, which meant by endgame, my best healer was a level 12 unpromoted Elise. I did promote her early, but that was more out of necessity since I needed another combat unit. Honestly, it's a wonder I made it through Conquest at all. But even though I sucked, I loved every second of it. I put over 100 into one file of Conquest, which to my knowledge is the longest I've ever put into a game, up until that point. Now, this wasn't the first time I ever played Fire Emblem. Throughout middle school I would emulate games on the school computers, and one of them was Fire Emblem. I finished Lyn mode around 5 times between the emulators on my computer and phone (I never actually played Eliwood mode until I bought it for the Wii U), and I got to the route split twice in Sacred Stones. Every time, I would either delete my save, delete the emulator, or just forget my flashdrive containing all of my saves, but I didn't really mind. So I had enjoyed FE before Conquest, but if wasn't until Conquest that I actually got into the series.

    7. Plenty of things. That new Spider-man game for PS4 is one I really want a sequel in, mainly for more content. The DLC was alright, but it wasn't quite the content boost I needed to fulfill my appetite of that game. I would hope that a sequel includes a few more suits, maybe something like his zombie suit, and I would also hope for some different gadgets. The Trip Mines are neat, but they weren't very practical in application. Another sequel I want is "The Bible 2", I wonder what kinda stuff is in that one. Lay it on me God, I'm ready.

    8. Any position at a hospital. I'm pretty squeamish, so blood, guts, bodies, all of that is a no-go for me. That and I'd have to tell people they're going to die, and other lame junk like that. Hospitals just seem like depressing places, I don't want to work at one for my life. Not to say anything against people working at hospitals, they're doing God's work, but the atmosphere there isn't very cheery. I'd rather work elsewhere, like in the White House. That place is rad.

    9. Nah, I don't watch TV much, and I skip every ad on Youtube. Although I have recently seen quite a few infomercials that I love. An example is the Sock Slider (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0YzunWoLsY If you're curious), which is just so dumb I have to love it. I also saw a couple egg ones, but they aren't as funny.

    10. I would build the worlds largest golden dick statue that is diamond/emerald studded. It would be taller and wider than the Empire State Building, built directly next to Trump Tower, and would also house the best bar and grill in the entire world. Why you might ask. Well I raise you the question, why not?

    1. Spanish. I hate it with a burning passion. English is just so much better, we don't have any dumb accent marks, or conjugation, or any of that junk.

    2. Yes

    Numbe- alright I'll give a better answer than that

    It's been a while since I've really thought about Mighty Number 9. I mostly ignored it up until released, and to this day I have never played it. That said, I have probably watched about a two days worth of content on that game, simply because it was such an interesting mess to analyze. The background of everyone involved, the development of the game, the game itself, reactions to the game, it was all incredibly interesting to see. That and I love to watch clusterfucks unfold, it's why I like watching RWBY so much.

    3. I want to leave behind one that's constantly getting edited to have outdated memes in it, and overall is an uninformative mess.

    4. I mean, that's probably someone's fetish. It depends, would the girl A. Still be comprised of Ice Cream, B. Wouldn't feel pain, C. Was consenting, D. It wouldn't count as a murder of any kind, E. Would maid waifu (whose name is Felicia by the by) get in on it? If the answer is yes to all of those, then sure, I don't see why not. I could just get magical fairy Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to make her a being that would regenerate after a set amount of time.

    1. What makes Radiant Dawn your favorite Fire Emblem  game?
    2. What kind of seasonal for Felicia do you want to see the most in Heroes?
    3. What other RPGs aside of Fire Emblem do you enjoy?
    4. What has been the happiest day in your life so far?
    5. How would you describe yourself in three words?

    1. To put it into three words, Plot, Characters, Gameplay. The plot of the game is kinda dumb, and overstuffed, and convoluted. Just what I like. I like my stories to be utterly nonsensical, it makes it more fun that way when shit goes off the rails. And it also means there's depth there. It might be really, REALLY needless and pointless depth that does nothing but confuse, but my god is it depth. The characters, mainly just that I get to see them more grown up. Mist looks adorable, Mia is rockin it, as is Nephenee. Ike became a god among men in his new buff form, Titania look like a full course meal instead of a snacc, and I love how Elincia looks. Aside from looks, it's another case where you feel the repercussion of the first game, and how they impacted the characters. For instance, basically everyone bar Daein loves Ike (the father of Sothe's children), and the desperation really sets into the atmosphere of said characters. I just like seeing growth, and it might be somewhat artificial since it's between games and most characters are static in RD, but it counts. Sure, a lot of the Dawn Brigade is kinda eh, but Miccy is good, and Miccy is all that matters. As for gameplay, that's really the reason why I pick this one above POR. POR is superior in characters/characterization, and in plot, but what it lacks in is the gameplay department. Namely, any sensible difficulty curve. Normal and Hard are easy, then Maniac is like "Hey, you like enemies" and bombards you with them. Now, RD does something dumb with Maniac too, that being "Hey, didn't you like FE1-3?" and removes the weapon triangle in a game balanced around the weapon triangle. But in the other modes, they're actually thoroughly challenging. POR I found myself easily meeting Bxp turn requirements. RD I struggled on numerous occasions, on the easiest difficulty. That, and the game looks great, the animations, though slow, are godly, and the extra mechanics are great. My favorite skill system, three tiers of classes, SHOVING. It's the package deal in my opinon.

    2. Well, obviously a winter one. It'd fit her character best. Remember Winter Tharja, and how that was utter nonsense? If that was Felicia instead, it would make some sense. Now, I'm not saying dress Felicia as scantily as that, but you could easily put her in some light clothing, and make the joke that she's from the Ice Tribe, so she's fine with wearing few clothes in the snow. That and I think Christmas Felicia would be hot.

    3. Plenty of RPGs. Staying within strategy RPGs, I played Advance Wars far before Fire Emblem (one and two, never finished either). I really just played the multiplayer, and let me tell you that BS-ing my way to victory was one of the greatest feelings ever. One time, I set it to Fog of War, not knowing what that was, and I got all my troops decimated. All, but a single infantry, who was at full health. Now I was in full run away mode, but I decided I'd run towards A's headquarters (knew I'd get to use that again). I won that game through sheer chance, and it was hilarious. There were other absurd games like that, but I'll leave those for later. I also love Kingdom Hearts, if my name didn't give it away. I have played every single entry in the series, even the DS game, and even the mobile game. While I didn't enjoy all of them (Chain of Memories was god awful), every single other one I loved. Probably a similar love that I experience with Radiant Dawn. Absurd stories, amazing gameplay, great characters. Octopath Traveler is great. Looks great, sounds better, plays even better, stories are, it varies. I haven't actually finished any of them (I'm fifty hours into the game, and got stuck out of stubbornness at one of the secret bosses). Not sure whether TMS#FE counts as an FE game or not, so I'll just stay safe and assume it counts as an FE game. It rocks, I totally recommend it. Last but not least, the Mario and Luigi series. The sprites have always looked awesome, the music is always great (bar like two tracks), the humor is on point, the stories are surprisingly complex and dark for a Mario game, and best of all, the gameplay is amazing. There are other RPGs I like, a few of the Final Fantasy's come to mind, but I'll move onto the next question.

    4. I have to pick one? Uh, I guess I'd probably pick the day I went to marching MPA (Music Performance Assessment) with my marching band, and we got a Superior. While getting the highest grade was awesome, what was even better was the time I spent with everyone. It was basically a day of me hanging out with my friends, goofing off, having a great time. Eating lunch, and then dinner, and then a second dinner with all of them was great. I got to school a couple hours early to clean up my baritone, and with some spare time, decided with a few friends to play soccer with a ball we randomly found. The shenanigans that occurred in that game are so plentiful, that going in depth would result in me typing a lot. It was basically the first time in a long point of my life where I felt content, and like everything was right in the world. A week later the script got flipped on me, but that gets sad, which isn't what this question is about. So some day in November would be the happiest day of my life.

    5. Hmm, probably inconsistent, intelligent, and absurd. Inconsistent in that I basically switch opinions on things and ideas on a dime. Today I'm moderate-left. A year ago I would say I'm hard-line conservative. The year before that I was liberal in every sense of the word. This doesn't just apply to politics. My ever changing opinion on the Last Jedi has gotten my friends confused at numerous points. Intelligent, I won't go too in depth on this one. Any hardcore analysis of this one will just make me seem like a douche. I'll just say that I medically can be identified as a genius, a lot of my friends consider me the most academically intelligent person they know (not socially intelligent cause jeez I don't know a thing about social situations), and that I do pretty well in most areas of study. Lastly, absurd. I do a ton of absurd things, or make absurd connections, or ask absurd questions. I'll use the many dumb things I've done at a local summer camp. For absurd connections, I made a cabin joke when I combined the idea of a door being a person with my accelerated rate of talking, so that when I made an awful joke when my councilor was going through names to make sure we had everyone, I said "and Door" at the end of it. This combined into "Andor", which then the joke became that we lost a camper and spent the entire week trying to find him. Another year at that same camp, for reasons that escape me, everyone was doing squats while giving each other piggy-back rides. This one kid, who I'll call Red since I forget his actual name, asks if I want to ride on his back. Now I'm a tall fellow, 6 feet of average with a side of a body weight on the higher end of the healthy scale. Since I'm intelligent like I previously said, I obviously say sure. Red is pretty strong, I'll give him that. We get to around 20 with everyone else until I slip. And I fall straight back, right onto my head. Right onto a spot, where not three months ago I had sustained another injury from a pool incident. Now, thank god I didn't start bleeding out, but I had a pretty nasty bump on the back of my head that's still sorta there today. There are plenty of other dumb situations I've gotten myself into, and I myself am pretty zany, but I think I'll save those for later.

    So, I know your waifu is, like, the maid girl from Fates whose name I don't know because I never played Fates. But I want you to humor me for a second. Pretend you are a single weaboo with no waifu, and then, suddenly, Dwayne the Rock Johnson appears. And is also a magical fairy. He grants you one wish- one food item personified into a waifu for you. What food item do you choose to spend the rest of your life with, and why?

    I'd as for Dwayne himself since he's already a snacc.

    One food item personified, well I'd stay away from fruits and vegetables. They'd both be health nuts. Grains, they would probably be, well I dunno what they would be. I'm leaning towards ice cream, since then she'd either be really chill and also like the cold, or she'd be a tsundere, neither of which I'm against. But then the matter of flavor comes into play. The easy answer would be my favorite flavor, that being Mint Chocolate Chip, but one must take into account every single ice cream flavor that I bother to remember. Vanilla and Chocolate, too plain and boring. Birthday cake, too much, probably an over-zealot liberal, which while I don't have any problems with interacting with them, I could never be with one for the rest of my life. Coffee/espresso ice cream would be way too hyper, not really feeling rocky road, would prefer everything to go well. I think I'll actually stick with Mint Chocolate Chip. The mint represents a cool exterior while the chocolate chips represent a sweet interior. I feel like I've put way too much though into saying that I'd ask the magical fairy version of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to create the real life waifu-ized version of a bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream.

    What kind of shoe do you like to wear?

    Asics, currently my size is 12 mens. Tennis shoes, to be more general, although I am also fond of crocs.

    Also what's the moon?

    A hologram made of cheese that is housing aliens, obviously. The moon landing couldn't have been faked otherwise.

    1. If you were a mad scientist, what scientific experiment would you run if money and ethics weren’t an issue?

    2. What’s the weirdest smell you have ever smelled?

    3. Was there ever a part of a kid’s movie that completely scarred you?

    4. What is the funniest name you have actually heard used in the real world?

    5. Can we ask more than 5 questions?

    1. I'd run an experiment based on the amount one could genetically alter a person before they would become infertile to modern humans. For instance, if I add in a bit of bird DNA so that the person would grow some form of wings, would that result in them being unable to reproduce? After finding my results, I'd probably sell my results to the governments for them to make super-soldiers or something to that regard. 

    2. So one time at Walt Disney World, specifically Epcot, me and my family were riding the "Figment" attraction, or that one ride with the weird purple dragon. During that ride, there's a part where they do some smell based stuff, and the dragon does a skunk. Thing is, it isn't actually a skunk, it's always smelled like stale Triscuts to me. That isn't the weird smell though. On that specific day, we had gotten food before going on the ride. I forget what it exactly was I had eaten, I think it was something Italian. Whatever it was, it left a strong tomato based aftertaste. So we get on the ride, and arrive at that section. Right before the skunk part, I burp. And I mean literal milliseconds before the smell came out. For those unaware, the smell comes out in a large puff of air. So this large puff of air comes out, combines with the tomato burp, and I smell something I don't even know how to describe. Maybe poorly seasoned tomato soup that has goldfish thrown in for good measure. Something odd like that.

    3. Oh plenty of times. Indiana Jones 2 (I forget the subtitle) scared the living hell out of me, and I watched that when I was in my later kid years. Certainly scarred some part of me. If that doesn't qualify as a kids movie, then there are others. Another moment that wasn't from a movie was the Tower of Terror at Hollywood Studios. That one ride has put me off any kind of horror, even psychological which I often find I actually like, but it's still made me hesitant to try out. That one scene from Nemo where he gets inducted into a cult stands out. On a less severe scale, anything involving Sid in Toy Story 1 was very unnerving.

    4. Hmm, this is a tough one. It's hard to nail down a name I would call funny being used in the real world. The oddest name that I can remember is a fellow named Jerik, man plays a sax like no other. I've seen plenty of dumb names online, but not really many in person. But all of that will change when I name my first born son something from either an anime or Kingdom Hearts, assuming that whatever person marries me doesn't laugh me out of the house for suggesting that.

    5. Yeah sure, knock yourself out. Answering these is pretty fun, so ask away.
