Memes

Thu Jan 31, 2008, 2:32 PM
I've been tagged for another meme, this time by :iconevilryokojesse:

1. Choose a few of your own characters. Five at the most.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Then tag three people.
4. Feel free to go ahead and add some questions yourself!!

((Side note: I, ~MonkeysWithGuns, am REALLY encouraging anyone who sees this and wants to know more about the characters to ask them questions! They will answer to the best of their abilities, because I will force them to.))

---

1. Echo (genetically-engineered cyborg)
2. Iacov (human)
3. Patch (mech)
4. Nat (????)

---

A.Are you a boy or a girl?
1. Echo: I’m female.
2. Iacov: Guy.
3. Patch: Male. But by some definitions, because my bits are plastic and not flesh, I’m not anything.
4. Nat: Girl!

B.How old are you?
1. Echo: Two.
2. Iacov: Seventeen.
3. Patch: Seven.
4. Nat: A gentlemen never asks and a lady never tells! Which are you again...?

C. YOU WANT A HUG?? XD
1. Echo: You want your medications?
2. Iacov: Mmm, physical contact.
3. Patch: You want shut up?!
4. Nat: YEEESSSS XD

D. You got any bad habits?
1. Echo: I obsess. When I can’t solve a problem right away, I’ll be bad-tempered and restless until I get it right.
2. Iacov: My mouth kind of runs ahead of my brain in an effort to impress certain people. Can that be counted as a habit if I do it a lot?
3. Patch: Certain unnamed parties--coughIacovcough--think that when I appreciate the occasional cigarette every half hour, it constitutes ‘bad habits’. Bullshit!
4. Nat: My bad habit is being too perfect and too cute! And too modest, that too! *grin*

E. Favourite food?
1. Echo: I don’t eat. No working mouth or jaw. But if they count, supplimental vitamin shots do me some good.
2. Iacov: *after a loooooong silence, staring in horror at Echo* ...What was the question again?
3. Patch: Salmon basted for a day in mustard sauce, served on white rice, with some Chianti on the side. *pause* And if you only know what Chianti is from the movie version of Silence of the Lambs, I’m going to hit someone. Probably Iacov.
4. Nat: I like food!

F. Favourite Ice cream flavor?
1. Echo: No mouth....
2. Iacov: That’s really cree--uh--I mean--rocky road?
3. Patch: You just described your life, kid. I like my mode a la mode.
4. Nat: I like ice cream!

G. Who's your mate/spouse?
1. Echo: I’ve never mated with or been anyone’s spouse. Sorry. I’ve never even gone on a date; I like my independence.
2. Iacov: I uh, I’ve had a couple girlfriends, but never... uh. Never. Um. I don’t have one. Now, I mean. Sure, I’d like to date, but.... Uh.
3. Patch: ...In my defense, all of the relationships I’ve had that’ve failed were the OTHER person’s fault. Even my most recent breakup.
4. Nat: I love everyone equally. Just because I choose to sleep with one person at a time doesn’t mean that my love is exclusive! *with a quick glance at Patch* I’m in between people right now, but even that doesn’t mean I don’t still adore my ex.

H. You a virgin?
1. Echo: Yes.
2. Iacov: Like, virgin how? Virgin hands? Virgin, uh, other parts? Cause you ought to know... ehh... see, there was this one girl... friend! Girlfriend! Not just a friend, we... she... uh.... I’m a virgin....
3. Patch: Ask my exes. I think my life-changing performances speak for themselves. Poor exes, they’ll never be able to find someone as good as me again.... *glares at Nat*
4. Nat: *oblivious* Nope! :D

J. Killed anyone?
1. Echo: No. I’m a pacifist.
2. Iacov: Ugh, no. I have a weak stomach as it is, I couldn’t handle that crap without tossing my cookies.
3. Patch: I wish. If the Three Laws allowed it, there’s a certain short, greasy girlfriend-stealer I’d see to. THANK ASIMOV YOU’RE STILL ALIVE, JAY!!
4. Nat: PATCH! Dont--! I mean, umm, not Patch! He’s still alive and well and we love him very much despite how mean he is!

K. Hate anyone?
1. Echo: *getting philosophical* Just the nameless, faceless perpetrators of inequality on all they deem ‘beneath’ them--
2. Iacov: *cutting Echo off* People who can’t just say outright what they’re feeling, like, who avoid the subject or won’t answer altogether. That, and Patch.
3. Patch: Berjus Jay Alders for stealing my girlfriend, and Isaac Asimov for imposing the Laws that won’t let me brutally murder him. Iacov’s more of a pest than someone I actually hate.
4. Nat: I love, I don’t hate.

L. Any secrets?
1. Echo: I keep some secrets even from myself.
2. Iacov: A secret crush.... *looks at Echo hopefully*
3. Patch: That’s not a secret, Iac. You LOOOOVE Echo. You LOOOOOVE her. you want to make BAAAAABIES with her. You want to set her down by the fire and-- *Iacov slaps a hand over Patch’s mouth and keeps it there, despite the cigarette threatening to burn a hole on his palm*
4. Nat: Lots! But I usually don’t talk about them because--oh HEY! A dime! Wow, it’s my lucky day, I will keep you forever and call you Penny, my new little dime-friend!

M. Favourite season?
1. Echo: *beams* Autumn. It’s so... scholarly! New books and falling leaves... ahhhh... the perfect combination.
2. Iacov: Fall and winter, the colder times. I like the idea of building a fire and snuggling under a blanket with someone I love, sharing hot chocolate... unless they don’t eat or drink. But there could still be snuggling!
3. Patch: *tries to talk around Iacov’s hand, but it isn’t working, so he settles on continuing to burn him with the cigarette instead*
4. Nat: I like every season! It’d get boring if we had just one! Like, spring? it’s so pretty and smelly with flowers, but what if they kept growing?! You could drown in daffodils!!

N. Who's your best friend?
1. Echo: Tes and Iacov. Patch and I are close, but he’s more like a brother to me.
2. Iacov: So I’m not like a brother? Maybe I could move off the ‘friend’-ladder soon? Like, now? Tonight? Dinner and a mo--CRAP, I mean, you don’t eat, haha, not dinner... but the movie maybe? Maybe?
3. Patch: *taking advantage of Iacov’s loss of focus* My best friends are Mr. Knife and whoever can reprogram me so I can use Mr. Knife on Mr. Alders in any way I please.
4. Nat: EVERYBODY’S my best friend! Though I guess right now I’m closest to Jay--*she stops, seeing Patch gritting his teeth at the name*--birds! Yep, jaybirds, like bluejays. Best friends, me and them. The whole species.

O. Hobbies?
1. Echo: LOTS of reading to catch up on, I study law pretty intently, and when I’m not doing that I’m helping Patch out at the candy shop, sorry Iac, but I have a REALLY busy night.
2. Iacov: *crestfallen* ...Getting turned down.... It’s not exactly a ‘hobby’, but I’m really good at it, apparently....
3. Patch: Making fun of Iac, like how he just got turned down! HA! And brooding. Apparently people find that sexy, so I do my best to be the ‘supply’ to their ‘demand’.
4. Nat: Funny hats! I have quite the collection of them. Maybe I’ll start a dime collection, to keep my new friend Penny company, too....

P. Favourite Drink?
1. Echo: *rolling her eyes* How many times do I have to say it: NO MOUTH!
2. Iacov: Anything that’ll take my mind off of being really, really embarrassed right now, and make me think I’m in Maui or something. Do mescale worms do something like that...?
3. Patch: Vintage Red Graves Bordeaux, of the Cabernet Sauvignon variety. And none of that table wine crap, I like the first growths.
4. Nat: I have no idea what you just said. But I like apple juice! :D

Q.When's your birthday?
1. Echo: *shivers with memory* September 21st, the Autumnal Equinox. Not a day I’ll forget any time soon.
2. Iacov: February 29. Technically I’ve only celebrated three birthdays. It sucks, growing up and having a sister who makes fun of you because three out of every four years you have to have the birthday party on stupid March 1....
3. Patch: I was activated August 10. That makes me a Leo, which makes perfect sense. I’m gorgeous, dignified, brilliant, a real leader, gorgeous....
4. Nat: I forgot my birthday. :(

R.What age do you die and why?
1. Echo: I’ve been informed by the Gods of Project Plastic that if I told you, I’d be posting ‘spoilers,’ which are apparently a cardinal sin and I’m not a big fan of the fetish-bar-hell these Gods always joke about.
2. Iacov: I’m not sure I wanna know. Can my death be romantic? But, like, not tragic romance. Good romance.
3. Patch: You’re such a girl.
4. Nat: I don’t.

S.Are you nice or mean?
1. Echo: It would depend on who you asked. ‘Aloof’ is probably the word you’re looking for, though.
2. Iacov: I’m a nice guy. You know how I know? BECAUSE I ALWAYS FINISH LAST!!
3. Patch: I’m a bitch. But hey, so is life.
4. Nat: I’m nice and sweet, just like ice cream! ...I like ice cream!

T.What's the highest rank you achieve before you die?
1. Echo: I get into law and politics, but again I’m being warned by the Project Plastic Gods not to say too much.
2. Iacov: All I want is a family, someday. I can’t think of a higher ‘rank’ than family man.
3. Patch: For once, we agree on something. I’d like to get married or committed to someone I love. Unless we adopted, I couldn’t be a real father because of my man-parts being fake, but it’s nice to dream....
4. Nat: People like me don’t go by rank. We don’t even go by name.

U.What's your goal in life?
1. Echo: To fight injustice! I'd say as a masked crimefighter, but... eh. It's been done.
2. Iacov: To fight the sinking sense that I'll never have a girlfriend. And to get a girlfriend.
3. Patch: To fight Jay, and then possibly torture or kill him.
4. Nat: To fight the feeling that everyone around me is crazy!

V.What were you known as and who gave you that name?
1. Echo: I was Subject E to my creators, then E to my adoptive father, but it was Iacov who suggested Echo.
2. Iacov: My mom’s a linguist who specializes in Hebrew, so she gave me a more literal translation of the name, but I make everyone call me ‘Iacov’ because it’s more unique.
3. Patch: I came up with my human alias. My original name, as part of a product line, was pretty humiliating and something we SHALL SPEAK OF NO MORE.
4. Nat: Names kinda come and go, for me... mostly it’s circumstance that comes up with them. I’ve been given all sortsa names before, like Brigid, Ife, Nayeli, Rose, Cupid... and now Natalina. The list kinda goes on.

I tag ~TattooedHeart who I got my last meme from, ~MySweetPhantom who hasn't been keeping up on her memes because of giftart, and ~Spencers13 whose characters we haven't heard from in far too long!

:iconevilryokojesse:
1. ECHOOOOOOO. you rock. you are a strong female character! I would love to see you smile some time. Actually, I have a question: if your jaw doesnt work, how do you kiss? Can you?

2. So, Iac, I know you're in love with Echo (don't deny it), but why nothang out with me for a day? A week? Always? :heart heart heart:

3. Patch, stop being such an asshole. Jay is HOT and just about as angsty as you. At least, according to the newest art...

4. So Nat, honestly, what TYPE of ice cream?
:iconmonkeyswithguns:
1. Echo: I do smile, Joy just doesn't draw it very often, and usually I look very insincere when she does draw me smiling. I smile best when I'm with my friends, though, and that's not just true for the story, Joy says she can draw a decent smile on me only when I'm surrounded by others I like. But I'm getting off-topic. My skin's pretty malleable and I have total control over it--that's what happens when half of your body is made up by nanomachines--and I do still have working facial muscles. Just like how you can kiss with your mouth closed, I can too, though I can't do the other things that require an open mouth. I've also been told you're taking Anatomy & Physiology, so I'll explain another nuance of my construction; not only can I shape my skin any way I want it, but I have no smooth muscle cells--all my muscles only contract consciously. So even my heart has to be told to beat... but it also means I can change the more superficial details on my body. It's not shapeshifting as Cue can do it, but I can change my looks and even mold my bones to an extent.

2. Iacov: *confused* What does having an interest in someone else have to do with hanging out with you? I'm always looking for new friends, though, that would be awesome! The one thing is, as sucky as it is sometimes, I do like my home and world, so I couldn't leave it forever. Also, my mom and dad would be pissed if I did that without telling them. I mean, they were pissed when I left home at 16 to begin with, they'd probably track me down to kill me if I left THE ENTIRE WORLD, y'know?? But you're always welcome here.

3. Patch: Jay's a bitch. I DARE him to come over here and claim to be as gorgeous as me. I DARE HIM. RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, YOU AND ME JAY, LET'S GO.

4. Nat: I've always liked rose ice cream, truthfully. I like rosewater too, but that's a drink you can't normally get in the U.S. Japan has rosewater though, I think there's like a whole brand dedicated to rosewater there, but there's whole brands dedicated to all sorts of crazy flavors in Japan! Rose ice cream is something you can get in a lot of gourmet ice cream shops, though. They even have an ice cream place in Savannah that sells it, from what I hear....

:iconevilryokojesse:
wahhh Echo, that's super neat. Do you ever just forget to tell your heart to beat? what happens then? :worried: Also, how do you know if you really look like you? Or did you pick a shape you liked and just kept it? Or maybe I'm overthinking this? Also, friends are good for smiles. :D Sydney got a fortune cookie today that said, "A smile is a curved line that sets things straight." I was very amused. That was probably pointless to tell you. :hides:

heeheeeee Iakku-chaaaaaan! <3 hahahahaha, well, thank you for the welcome. So we're officially friends now? What does one say to an official friend? What's your favorite color? I picture it to be orange, but I'm pretty sure I'm wrong there. Orange also reminds me of Jay. Which brings me to my next point...

:gives Patch an award for being really intense and epic ALL THE TIME:

Naaaat :sings: I would LOVE to try rose ice cream. Does it smell like real roses? Or taste like the smell? (You know how smells can tell you a taste without tasting it, right?) Is it pink? Does it taste the way you'd imagine pastel colors to taste? Japan is amazing. An amazing place. XD
:iconmonkeyswithguns:
Echo: No, I have some programs built into me that keep it so I stay alive. Do you forget to breathe? It's a thing you have to regulate, unlike your heart, but you can still do it... I'm making my point, right? >.o
I know I look like me because I said I can superficially shapeshift, that means I can a little, but not too much. Also, my looks--my *original* looks--were based on my father's biological daughter, Emily Smith, so I have some references if I ever forget. *chuckles*

Iac: Sure, if you say we're officially friends, we can be officially friends! You should ask Dave to draw you into our world! Joy's too burnt out from school, though, probably not a good idea to go to her, she starts talking about cannibalism when she's burnt out and mad at the world, and gets reeeeal creepy. I avoid her when she does that.

(Joy: OM NOM NOM NOM NOM)

Iac: ...Oh, and my favorite color, it's funny 'cause you got it on the nose, I'm an orange kinda guy. I'm not too happy about the company I'm keeping though, red is Cue's color and yellow is Jay's, and I share orange with Dee, too, and she's just... just.... *shivers*

Patch: *happily takes the award and gives Jay a good view of his middle finger in doing so*

Nat: It tastes like it smells! But most flowers just taste like lettuce, so you're not missing out on the real flavor. Violets have a nice taste though, and they're good for you! *beams* Oh, and Japan's definitely cool, but I like EVERYWHERE! You can give me a place and I'll find something nice or interesting or fun about it, no matter how boring it might look! Except that Twin Peaks place... what's the name of the town?

Patch: Twin Peaks.

Nat: No, the town.

Patch: That's the town's name.

Nat: Oh! Right then! That Twin Peaks place, there's too much interesting and scary and, uh, murderous stuff going on there for my tastes! TOO interesting is freaky, people get nosy and I get uncomfortable with that....
