Train Questionnaire

[runs_on_batteries]

Thanks for participating but to protect my sanity, no more questionnaires will be accepted.

Welcome to the Voidtrecker. This is, for better or worse, a new world for all of us and we’re stuck here. In order to detect patterns in these abductions, get important safety information, and other important details for living in this community I’m conducting a survey. Please answer everything to the best of your ability. If you have any questions about the form please consult whoever is standing next to you other than me, because you should be intelligent enough to answer these very straight forward questions.

All information presented here will be kept strictly confidential and the purpose is to collect data.
Please fill it out and deliver it to me, Tony Stark. You'll most likely find me in my lab (aka, the quiet room that has a lock, a 'keep out' sign, and glass painted).

[ooc: Just fyi, Tony *will* comment on something about your answers when you hand in your answers IC. I've checked with the mod and these can count toward bonus threads, etc. Also, it's very common that people lie on these forms. Fill them out as your character would IC please.]

*** Update *** I've recruited a few more people to help with these so you all can get a response faster and spare my sanity. If you have a preference between Tony, Feanor, Ignis, and Gladio. This group might be referenced to as the Welcome Committee before too long.

Why would your mother care what you do to your hair? You know she's not here, right?

[runs_on_batteries]

So a direction it can travel is straight up? That might be very useful. Are you skilled at making these bombs?

[runs_on_batteries]

[He'd been too engrossed in the explanation to think to start writing- right up until the bird reminds him. It took effort not to roll his eyes, but he pulled out a fresh copy of the questionnaire.]

Alright well first things first, are all animals or birds in your world capable of talking like this or are you special because of that charming personality?

[adropofsunlight]

She isn't here, no. But the moment I get home she would not be happy.

[And just, she really doesn't want to see her get mad or upset when she knows all the other has seemingly been trying to do was protect her.]

And I don't want to upset her or anything.

[runs_on_batteries]

Really?

[That sounded interesting. His eyes light with curiosity as he stared up at the man from where he was sitting.]

Is it your bones then that are metallic or is there a solid metal structure with blood and skin over it? Like.. if the skin was drawn away what's underneath?

[anewhero]

It's a hard mix inside. My body's metal with blood and skin under it.

[[That look worried him, like it did when he was at home. The Human Resistance wanted to see how he ticked as well.]]

Marcus looked up "You aren't planning on experimenting on me, are you?"

[runs_on_batteries]

Perhaps.

[He wasn't making any promises yet.]

It is. Very.

[She was in good company if she was annoyed this train had taken her right in middle of saving her own world.]

Ah, I see. Well, that makes sense.

[He set the questionnaire aside. At this, he offers a friendly smile.]

So that really leaves only one remaining question. When do I get to meet your sister? And- sorry that was a two parter- is she as nice as you are?

[runs_on_batteries]

You and half the people on this train, yes. Although for some reason admitting that doesn't have very positive effects in social settings.

[He chuckles and shakes his head.]

I'm kidding. Relax. I'm curious about you but I wouldn't 'experiment' on someone unless I had very special and explicit permission.

[runs_on_batteries]

He rubbed his face with a slight groan. The man was a complete lunatic. He didn't even know where to start with this.

"Okay.. so if you're unsure of anything being real and you know illusions can cause harm, there's no way for us to prove we're not part of your dumbass reality." He thought for another moment. "How do you view these missions we go on? Are you taking them seriously and actively helping out your team?"

[anewhero]

"Do me a favor, if John Connor ever decides to pop on the train, tell him I want a word with him about "experimentation."

[Marcus groans]

"Right, sorry about that."

[runs_on_batteries]

[When Jak comes in to drop off his questionnaire, Tony looks up from a large book he's reading. He gives the curious looking fellow a polite smile. Taking it, he glances over the answers.]

That sucks about your father.

[He reads a little further.]

What do you mean 'light' and 'dark' Jak? How are they entities in your head?

[sell_tickets]

"Of course. There is no way to be sure right now who and what is and is not real. So the best thing to do is stay alert, be cautious, and treat things as real until I know for sure otherwise," he said with a shrug and a grin. As for these so-called missions, apparently I missed a number of them in some odd sort of time skip that landed me in, of all things, a large box." Which made so little sense it was just more proof to his mind that this was an elaborate Tangled Web/

[mimidaeia]

That designation is already in use. [She sounds somewhat pleased about this??] Thank you for not making up a new designation like every other human.

-Is there anything else you wanted to talk about?

[runs_on_batteries]

[Tony nodded, finding these answers were only leading to more questions. However he could sense she was uncomfortable. Normally he wouldn't care, but kids were a soft spot for him.]

Would you only be attached to her if she had darkness in her heart? It's okay, Naminé. I just want to learn about you so I can better help and support you.

[runs_on_batteries]

.. you're welcome?

[He hasn't recovered yet, so while he should have more questions, he can't think of them.]

No, no. You- we're good.

[really_sketchy]

[Naminé understands his confusion. It doesn't really make a lot of sense to her either.]

I don't know. I want to tell you more but there is a lot I don't know about the Nobody's. I was one but I wasn't treated like the others in the Organization. I was... [She pauses briefly and then continues, her voice becoming a little softer.] I was a tool that they needed and that's all.

They didn't tell me very much.

[runs_on_batteries]

[Wow. If anyone needed to be kidnapped by a Void traveling magic train full of aliens and weirdos, it was this girl.]

Alright, well don't worry. I'm not going to come at you with scissors or anything. And regarding your birthday, while we're not all that sure how time works between home and here, we could do a belated something for you if you'd like.

[unfavorableinstigation]

[More 'right in the middle of celebrating it being saved at this point in time', but it's much the same feeling.

As to Tony's last question, she snorts.]

Good question. If anything, I'm not her keeper, and she's good at being avoidant if it turns out that's what she's doing.

[She makes a show of having to think about the second part.]

She's got a good heart, and she's a good wizard to boot, but if you're on her bad side she'll let you know it. She might tell you why, but you have to be willing to work for it.

[Since Nita has no idea how - let alone if - Dairine knows Tony, it's not her information to share.]

[runs_on_batteries]

[Tony chuckles at that and gets up.]

Well if you see her, maybe put in a good word for me. I'd like to meet her sometime. I don't know too many wizards but so far, all of them are quite interesting. Present company included. Also if you find you need anything, let me know, okay?

[unfavorableinstigation]

Can't guarantee she'll take it, but I'll try.

[Nita can't help grinning at his nature. Boy, is that gonna feel weird in a few days!]

And will do, you can count on that.

Let me know if there's anything I can help out with too, okay? We are in this together, like it or not.

[runs_on_batteries]

[He stops at the door and turns back to give her a grin and playful salute.]

You got it, kiddo.

[He goes back to his lab, feeling like that was one of the more positive interviews he's had. He should tell Gwen to go bother the girl. They'd get along, he was pretty sure.]

[runs_on_batteries]

Ah, so we're adding him to the 'shoot on sight' list? Yeah, I think we're up to like..

[He made a gesture like it was going to be some big number]

..three people now. Too bad one of my personal ones is actually currently on the train, so we haven't gotten worked out all the kinks of the system yet.

[runs_on_batteries]

[Tony reached out his hand.]

It's okay, sweetie. You don't have to understand it all. You're not there anymore and they can't use you now. I won't let anyone use you now. You're safe.

[runs_on_batteries]

"Good," Tony answered, with a grin. If Khary was believing they were all illusions that was fine with him- so long as he was helping out and not putting anyone in danger around him. So, the man might be crazy, but Tony could work with that kind of crazy.

"Well if you need anything let me know. Otherwise.. enjoy the web."
