3. Then tag three people. ( Everyone I know has done this. ;_; )

.:Characters:.
Natane
Essex
Evangeline
Rosalind
Jato

.:Questions:.

1) How Old Are You?
Natane: I'm ...well, let's see. I was sixteen when I got to Mariposa, so I ...I'm not sure how time flows any more. I think I'm around twenty-ish?
Essex: Oh! I'm eight...
Evangeline: *laughs quietly* Dear me, you do not waste any time, do you? I am twenty-five years of age...or rather older, if you prefer to think of it that way.
Rosalind: I'm a hundred fifty!... something. I was born during the Gold Rush, so I'anno, whatever!
Jato: ... *eyes the rest of the group oddly* I'm twenty-seven. Sheesh, what are you, dimension-hopping weirdos?

2) Height?
Natane: ...;_; Five nothing... *hangs head* I'm not short!
Evangeline: My dear girl, you are very short. You mustn't let it get to you though; Essex is far shorter than you are. Incidentally, I am five feet, five inches precisely.
Natane: But she's EIGHT!
Essex: W-well... *stands on tiptoes*
Rosie: Bahaha, runt!
Jato: What're you laughing about? You're only a bit taller than the first girl. *pats Essex on the head* Don't worry, kiddo, it's okay for you to be short. I'm five nine, myself, and that ain't too tall for a guy.
Essex: *smiles up at Jato gratefully* Thank you, sir...And...I'm not really sure how tall I am anyway. Three feet, eleven inches, was the last I had checked.

3) You got any bad habits?
Natane: Umm... I tend to fidget and bite my nails when I'm nervous. *fidgets, bites nails* <.<
Evangeline: Oh, I have my fair number of bad habits. I am really something of a show-off, at times.
Jato: *eyeing Eva, Natane, and Rosie* I gotta tendency to stare sometimes. *gets out a cigarette and lights it, staring at Evangeline's rear end*
Essex: *tugging Jato's sleeve* Smoking is a bad habit, too...
Jato: *not disrupting his stare* It's a habit, it ain't bad if I like it.
Rosie: How about being a perv? That's a bad habit too, y'know.
Jato: Least I don't roll in garbage. *smoke*

4) You a virgin?
Natane: *flushes pink, furiously bites her nails* Ah, w-what business of yours is it, anyhow?
Essex: o_o I'm just a kid. A robot kid, at that.
Rosie: *cheerfully* Nope! Are you kidding? I'm a dog!
Jato: That explains the ears and the tail, eh? As for me... *swells with pride* I'm bonkin' a super, myself. *stretch* Yep. <3
Evangeline: *chuckles* Truly, Jato, your classiness is only matched by your natural charm. As for me, I am decidedly not a virgin, and a glorious lover I have, too.

5) Who's your Mate/Spouse?
Essex: ...I'm an eight year old robot... <_<
Jato: In a kid body, no less. Don't worry about it for now, li'l babe. *ruffles Essex's hair*
Evangeline: I am married, incidentally, to my darling Percival, who is the aforementioned glorious lover, by the way. And in so saying, dear Jato, if your lover is a superhero and I am married to a similarly powerful fellow, what in the name of all that is true are you doing examining my posterior with such fervor?
Jato: <_< Hey, lady, you said yourself that you're a showoff. Besides, Penny loves me for who I am. She's cool with me looking as long as I don't touch.
Rosie: I hug trees! <3 I love Emry! He's my favorite!
Natane: Well, I ...er...Toshio is... *still blushing and fidgeting*

6) Have Any Kids?
Jato: Kids, eh? ...
Evangeline: Oh, I certainly plan to.
Rosie: DOGWOOD PUPPIES. <3
Natane: Uh, no, I don't think... I mean, I'm not even married yet, so... *trails off, looking at Jato* What're you daydreaming about?
Jato: *suddenly blushes* H-hey, I mean, maybe it'll be nice to have kids sometime. I mean, I like kids, I just...
Essex: *smiling up at Jato* It's okay if you want kids, sir! We won't tell anyone.
Evangeline: *laughing to herself* Oh, my.

7) Favorite Food?
Natane: Cherries! I love cherries the best! *beams, obviously glad to be done with the subject of sex and lovers and whatnot*
Evangeline: Oh, I am particularly fond of braised eel. And seared tuna. I suppose I just like fish in general, as long as it is prepared well. *chuckles*
Essex: ... *blushes* I don't really eat much, but my father's experimental taste receptors allow me to taste sweet things, at least, and I've found I really like the flavor of strawberries.
Jato: Cigarettes.
Rosie: *laughs* You don't eat cigarettes, stupid. Me, I like bacon! And hamburgers. Oh, and hot dogs, especially if they've been rolled around in the dirt... <3
Jato: Bleh. Okay, fine, then I like ...hash browns. With onions and gravy on 'em.
Evangeline: *eyes Jato, balancing a feather in her left hand* Hmm...
Jato: <_< What're you doing?
Evangeline: Oh, never mind me, dear.

8) Favorite Ice Cream flavor?
Natane: Black cherry. <3 Especially the kind with big chunks in it.
Essex: Strawberry! *the thought of ice cream cheers her*
Rosie: Blood!
Natane: <_<
Essex: <_<
Rosie: What? We all like pink ice cream! Woo!
Jato: Actually, I really like butter pecan. Specially with caramel and chocolate on it.
Evangeline: Ah, a turtle sundae, lovely! Myself, I prefer raspberry sorbet...so I suppose that puts me in the 'ink' category as well. *chuckles*

9) Killed anyone?
Essex: *looks mortified* Never! I could never do something like that!
Natane: Uhhh... <_< *fidgets, bites nails* ;_; Th-they were bad guys! It was kill or be killed! I swear!
Jato: *shrugs* Sure have. Hey, you do what you gotta do.
Rosalind: Oh, I've killed a ton of people! *wag, wag* :3
Evangeline: Well, I have never killed anyone, per se... though, by the time I see them, they have already passed. But no, I have never been responsible for the termination of a life.
Essex: *Scoots over to sit near Eva* <.<

10) Hate anyone?
Essex: *looks similarly mortified* No!
Evangeline: *chuckles, patting Essex's head* Neither do I, though there are quite a few people who try my patience, indeed.
Jato: *spits, glowering at the floor in silence* ...
Rosie: Yeah, I hate cats. Conceited little...
Natane: ...=/ That's a tough question... *wrings her hands* I don't like hating people, though...well...

11) Any Secrets?
Natane: Not really. *looks thoughtful*
Jato: *relaxing a bit* Well, I've got a couple, but no deep, dark, important ones. I can sure as hell keep secrets, though.
Essex: *shifts uncomfortably*
Rosie: *beams* None whatsoever! I mean, I'm supposed to keep the fact that I'm a were-human and not an actual human a secret, but I always pop back and forth in and out of dog form anyway, so who cares?
Evangeline: *just chuckles a great deal, not bothering to answer the question*

12) Love Anyone?
Essex: I love everyone! *smiles widely*
Jato: ...*bursts into chuckles at that, patting the girl on the head* We'll see how long that lasts, tootsie. Me, I've got my old uncle Ross to take care of and my best friend Syd to take care of. Sydney...I love him like a brother. But we're NOT GAY, okay?
Rosie: Jeez, little defensive?
Jato: >_> Oh, and I forgot Penny.
*a voice from nothingness speaks out near him* Oh, thanks, jackass.
Jato: Pen! ...Ehehe, how's it going?
Rosie: Ooooooh, someone's in trouble.... *wag wag wag*
Natane: I love my best friend Hinako, and Toshio, and my family, and...
Rosie: Oh! OH! I love my best friend too! Her name is Phe-Phe and she's my bestest friend and she shares her candy with me. <3 Well, sometimes she doesn't know she shares her candy with me. But we're best friends! And she takes me for walks, and she doesn't shoot at me nearly as much as Emry does! Oh, and I love him too! And I love Steve, and I love Mr. Muffy my stuffed lemur and...
Evangeline: I am quite in love with my darling Percival, and I am very fond of all my friends, as well.

13) Tacos?
Natane: ...I LOVE TACOS. <_< Especially with extra hot sauce. The hotter the better.
Jato: Hey, really? Me too! But, eh, I prefer like...authentic food.
Natane: You're Mexican? O_o
Jato: No, I'm Argentinian. Half, anyway.
Rosie: Dude, Argentina and Mexico are two different places. <_<
Jato: >_> I know that. *smokes* But American tacos are no more authentic Mexican food than they are Argentinian food. Stupid dog.
Rosie: Well, I like tacos, but I don't like you. Bleeeeh! *sticks her tongue out*
Essex: *Fidget* I've never had tacos, but do you think you could get along? Please? Come on, let's not fight...
Evangeline: You know, I have never had a taste for tacos; I prefer Mexican cuisine with a bit more sauce to it. Such as enchiladas...I do so love enchiladas. <3

14) Ever slept in all day?

Natane: *wistfully* I wish. I'm way too busy to sleep that much...though usually if I sleep too much I feel really gross the next day an' I can't fight properly.
Essex: Umm...I've been shut down for a whole day. I don't really sleep, though.
Jato: Only when I was really, REALLY stoned. Syd and I decided one time we'd see what it was like to be solid hippies, so we got all the drugs we could and took them all at once. When we woke up, we were in the back of a van headed to Colorado, Syd was buck-ass naked 'cept for a pair of galoshes and all I had on was a macrame pantsuit; dunno where the hell I got it. There were Dorito's bags everywhere and I couldn't wash the taste of Snapple out of my mouth for three weeks.
Rosalind: ...*dumbly, staring at Jato* ...No?
Evangeline: While I have never done...that, I have certainly slept in all day. I am afraid oversleeping is a vice of mine... *chuckles, though half of it seems incredulously pointed at Jato*

15) Eye colors?

Essex: Green!
Natane: Green, but not freaky green, like yours... I mean, not that your eyes are freaky! They're just...electric green. My eyes are more...er...natural green.
Evangeline: Well, the technical definition for them is hazel, which is a lovely way of telling you my eye color without you actually knowing what it is. *chuckles*
Rosalind: Orange!
Jato: Black.

16) Hair?
Essex: Blonde...
Natane: Chestnut brown. It turns more reddish in the summer, though.
Rosalind: Black, but my bangs are white. It's 'cause I'm a border collie, you know?
Evangeline: Oh, black. I do try to keep it well.
Jato: Black, too. I cut it short to try to get the curls to calm down, but, eh, you know how it goes.
Rosie: You look like you've got pubes on your head!
Jato: <_< Am I gonna have to punch a bitch?

17) Fat/Average/Slim?
Natane: ...<_< Curvy...
Rosie: I'm average, 'cause I'm always on the go and I got too much muscle to be skinny like Phe-Phe.
Evangeline: I have been told that I am slender, but I do have curves here and there.
Jato: Shit yeah. <_< I-I mean, shit yeah, I'm average.
Essex: ._. I'm scrawny.


18) Rain, sunshine?
Natane: Sunshine! It makes my work SO much easier...
Jato: Yeah, sunshine for me too. *smokes* I'm a heat man.
Evangeline: Oh, I do so love a good rain, particularly if there is thunder and lightning to go with it. <3
Essex: I-I don't like the rain...*fidgets*
Rosalind: Both! If the sun is out I can run around and catch frisbee, and if it's raining I can go roll in mud! It's a win-win situation!

19) Pool, Beach?

Evangeline: Oh, I love either. Though, to be fair, I prefer sunbathing to actually swimming...and if it is a private beach, then a lovely bath in the waves is simply marvelous.
Rosalind: The beach! I can chase crabs!
Essex: *Quickly* The pool. >_>
Jato: Eh? *glances down* What's wrong, Ess?
Essex: I had a bad experience at the beach. <_<
Jato: *pats her on the head* Aww... Well, I like the beach, myself. I'm not a real "controlled fun" kind of guy.
Natane: Gah, I haven't been in a pool in forever! They haven't invented chlorine yet on Mariposa. I mean, it's a chemical, so it's probably around, but..you know.

20) Camping, staying home?
Natane: o_o I live in a tent. I'm ALWAYS camping.
Jato: Are you kidding? Camping all the way! Get me and Syd off on some crazy adventure and we are nature's own sons, baby!
Rosalind: Camping! Camping! Camping!
Essex: *Timidly* I'd rather stay at home...there are too many variables out in the wilderness.
Eva: It's all right, my dear, most times I would rather stay home as well.

21) Dog, Cat?

Evangeline: Both have their virtues, but I prefer cats, in the end. They are terribly self-sufficient.
Rosie: <_<
Essex: Well, I like kittens and puppies, but older dogs and cats are a little too scary and aloof for me.
Rosie: >_>
Jato: You know, I actually like cats. I don't mind dogs, but cats are a lot more my speed.
Rosie: <_<
Natane: I'm allergic to cats. ._.
Rosie: Are you all done being crazy now? Because I'm a dog, and I'm here to tell you that dogs are a hundred times better than any dumb cat! *gets out a soapbox and stands on it* Who welcomes you when you get home? Not the damn cat, that's for sure! Who can tell when you're feeling down and snuggles with you? The dog! Who's always gonna love you, no matter who you are or how long you've been gone? The dog!!
Evangeline: Who barks late into the night at a fleeting rodent while you are trying to sleep, or indeed hold a conversation or take a survey...?
Rosie: >_>

22) Believe in aliens?
Natane: Yeah, I do, actually...I mean, technically, I'm an alien on Mariposa, and there's some races who know how to use space travel, so...
Evangeline: Aliens? Dear me, what a terrestriocentric word. I do believe in the existance of extraterrestrials, thank you.
Jato: What? Are you crazy? Tsh, I've never met any aliens. I guess they could exist, whatever.
Rosie: Of course they exist, you moron! They give the Soul Police more trouble every year! You know how hard it is to keep some of that tech out of the public's hands? And there's always those organ farmers, and...
Essex: ...<.< *fidgets* Some of my friends aren't from Earth...But I think they'd be mad if I called them aliens.

23) What do you do to relax?
Natane: *smiles broadly* I cook! I really enjoy cooking, so getting to make a good meal for my friends always makes me feel peaceful.
Rosalind: To relax? Hmmm... I like to lay out on the rug while Phe-Phe's watching cartoons and chew on something until I fall asleep. <3
Essex: Relax? Umm...Hm. *thinks about this* I like playing instruments, but I don't know if that counts.
Jato: Beer, smokes, and cheap foreign porn.
Evangeline: Oh, I am always relaxed. *laughs* But I suppose were I to purposely attempt to relax myself further, there is nothing quite so nice as a good, hot bath, and really anything Percival usually has planned in the evenings. <3

24) Car or Ship...?
Natane: I haven't been in a car in forever! But I hate boats, so, I guess a car it is. *giggles*
Rosie: Depends. Usually I like cars, but speedboats are way better. They blow my ears around!
Jato: Cars? Ships? Nothing can compare to my sweet Mabel!
Essex: "Mabel"? I thought Penny was your girlfriend?
Jato: Penny IS my girlfriend. Mabel is my biplane. Mabel's taken me and Syd through thick and thin! She ain't much to look at, but she gets us where we're going.
Evangeline: Dear me, I would love to sunbathe aboard a ship right about now...

25) What is your job?
Essex: *brightens* Oh! My primary function is biomechanical restoration! *salutes*
Rosie: Meaning you're a healbot.
Essex: *droops* Why does everyone call me that?
Jato: 'Cause you are. *pats her with a grin* But no worries, there are worse things to be. Me, I'm an explorer and an archaeologist and an anthropologist. But I don't get paid for that, so I work the front desk at a hotel to pay the bills. Also I fix up Uncle Ross' apartment complex.
Rosie: I'm a spirit cop! *beams*
Natane: *smiles* I'm the Star Warrior of Mariposa, and it's my job to keep the peace in the world along with all my friends!
Evangeline: I am an attorney, and I enjoy it very much.
Jato: <_< You're a lawyer?
Evangeline: Yes; I can perform as either a prosecuting or defense attorney.
Rosie: Yeah, the Soul Police even hire Eva sometimes. She's good with sensitive matters.
Evangeline: *chuckles, flattered* Oh, dear me, I am not so wonderful. I simply have a talent for seeing the truth in the matter...

26) Any unusual things about you?
*The entire group looks somewhat dumbfounded at the question, and looks around at one another*
Natane: o_o I'm a Japanese girl who got sucked into another world through a videogame and got turned into a magical superheroine.
Essex: <_< I'm a robotic child with a soul.
Rosalind: >_> I'm a were-human.
Evangeline: I have been told I am rather unnerving to speak to, due to my ability to discern the truth. Additionally, I am physically unable to lie.
Jato: *leers back from all of them* The most unusual thing about me is that I'm half Japanese and half Argentinian. I don't know what the hell is wrong with all of YOU.

27) Boy or girl?
Essex: I'm a girl!
Evangeline: Woman, obviously.
Natane: Girl...
Rosalind: Last time I licked, I was a female.
Jato: ...Okay, ew. That could have been sexy, but it was just gross. I'm a guy, of course.

28) Favorite Place?
Evangeline: *chuckles a great deal at this* <3 Only Percival knows for certain.
Jato: <_< What the hell are you talking about? I like the ruins at Macchu Picchu. Or the Nazca sand drawings. Lots of good stuff there.
Natane: *Dreamily* There's this little pond with a waterfall in Mariposa, just outside the town of Cree, and if you dive into the pond and swim under the waterfall there's this cave...It's my secret place.
Essex: I...I like Peregrine Island. *blushes*
Rosalind: ... *goes a little quiet* ...I like the park. Right by the magnolia tree...

29) Do you like pancakes?
Natane: Pancakes? I'm famous for my pancakes! *rolls up her sleeves* <3 Though, can I tell you a secret? >_> I don't really like pancakes much, myself.
Essex: o_o I've never had pancakes...
Natane: Oh! Then just wait, I'll make you some! *begins to gather and stir materials*
Evangeline: Pancakes are an acceptable breakfast repast, though I confess I am more fond of crepes...
Jato: Oh, man, Natane's pancakes! @_@
Rosie: I'll eat anything that's been rolled around in the dirt. :3

30) Last words?
Natane: Breakfast is ready! <3
Evangeline: Oh my, those do smell rather good...*peers over* Perhaps I shall split one with someone?
Essex: I'll have half of one with you, Ms. Eva...
Jato: Make me a tall stack, Nat! *starts warming syrup furtively*
Rosie: *whine* Doesn't anyone have any sausage?
Eva: *glancing over at Rosie* Don't provoke Jato, please...
