Seems to be a lot of introductions and specific requests on this thing recently. Let's change things up a bit. Here's a few general questions for the masses:

1. If you could travel to any time period, when would it be and why?
2. If you could have any superpower, what would you want? Why?
3. What's your stripper name? Name of your first or favorite pet/stuffed animal + the name of the street you grew up on. Mine's 'Bear Handley'.

Feel free to comment on everybody else's answers. That's what's supposed to make forums like this interesting.

1. Question, would we get to come back to our own time period, or are we talking about a permanent relocation?
2. Being able to change my physical form or turning invisible could be interesting. Think of all of the things you could do if you didn't look like yourself, or couldn't be seen by others ;)
3. ...Khishar Qatar Ve. That sounds ridiculous, honestly. Why should your stripper name come from toys and childhood addresses?

1. Up to you. I'd go in for a quick visit, personally.
2. Oh, good choice. I like you already.
3. Apparently this works better if you're an American. Or maybe a Brit.

[inlaid]

1. Quick visit would be preferred. I'd probably go back a few hundred years to the last attempted demon invasion. Get front row seats to what apparently was an epic smackdown.
2. And if you can appreciate that I guess that means I like you already too. Who can say no to an ability with such versatility?
3. Apparently. Honestly if I was going to be a stripper I'm sure I could come up with a fitting name all on my own. So, was Bear a pet or a stuffed animal?

[atms]

1. I can see how a demon version of WWE would be appealing.
2. Certainly not me.
3. Stuffed animal. Teddy bear, to be specific, that I think I lost somewhere around age six.

1. Our deities live among us, but even so it's not every day that you get to watch one magically team up with one of their Gifted in one of the biggest battles in our nation's history. Where would you visit?
3. That's a shame. Does Bear's name live on through your stage performances? ;)

[atms]

Don't know if you'll recognize it, but England a few centuries back.

Sadly, no. I'm not exactly made for the poles.

[inlaid]

Doesn't sound familiar, no. What interests you about it?

You say that now but have you ever tried? You may have hidden talents.

[atms]

Some of the Crown Jewels of England were melted down in the mid-1600s. If no one would miss them, I might as well [ steal and hoard ] liberate them.

I could probably dance, but it's the stripping part I'm not too keen on.

[inlaid]

...now that's not a bad idea at all. What do these Crown Jewels look like? At least before they're tragically destroyed.

[And if she gets the idea that he means more than just liberate them for the sake of history or some noble ideal, well, she doesn't let on. It's not her place to judge in this case and he makes a good point.]

As for stripping, well, no shame in not being interested in getting naked in front of strangers.

[atms]

Based on the ones that are still around? Incredibly gaudy and jewel-encrusted.

Takes a special kind of person to be interested in that. Or a drunk one.

[inlaid]

Well if you're going to liberate some crown jewels you don't want to waste your time on anything less.

Hopefully not drunk. There's nothing appealing about a clumsy performance that's just a prequel to the next day's hungover regrets.

[atms]

My thoughts exactly.

Oh, I don't know. There's something to be said for the look on the person's face when they realize just what they did the night before.

[inlaid]

...okay, I'll give you that. On occasion that expression can be absolutely priceless.

Speaking of watching drunk people, anyone shown you any of the good bars around here, Elsa?

[atms]

Not yet. And it's Leonard, actually.

[inlaid]

Leonard? Well, nice to meet you. I'm Bryn, and a willing guide if you'd be interested in grabbing a drink sometime.

[atms]

You can definitely put me down as interested in seeing the bars around here.

[inlaid]

Alright. Next time I head out I'll drop you a line and we'll do a little bar crawl okay? You and me and a camera to capture the ridiculous behavior of others. Sound like a plan?
