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.

[He smiles at the girl when she comes into his lab. The door was open and he had a large book open in front of him. However, he pushed it aside as soon as she entered.]

Zelda, huh? I'm Tony, nice to meet you.

[He looked over the paper and frowned a bit.]

Why are so many kids seventeen?

[He then realizes that's not the right question to direct toward her.]

Sorry, anyway, I'm glad you can use healing magic. The orange team has been desperately needing it. Did this demon fellow seal himself or you in another world?

[wisdominshadows]

That would be correct,

[The girl in question confirms]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Tony.

[She shakes her head.]

...If anything, it was the other way around. I was one of many people who worked to seal him away in a place where he could do little further damage....

[Though at the time, no one had taken into account other people traveling in and out of realities through an odd moving metal contraption. And wasn't that a cheery thought.]

Regardless, I'm hoping the experience doesn't become relevant here. Is there someone on the orange team whom I should speak to about healing magic?

[runs_on_batteries]

Ah, that makes.

[He looked back at her questionnaire a moment before answering.]

You'll want to tell Curufin. He's a really nice fellow and leader of the orange team. I'd also recommend you seek out May Parker. She's on your team and love to tuck you under her wing while you get accustomed to this place.

[He'd answered that question still looking at the paperwork, but now he looks up.]

What's a bombchu?

[wisdominshadows]

Curufin and May, then. I'll seek them out.

[She nods, then answers the rest.]

Bombchus are manmade explosives, fueled by a powder made from Bomb Flowers. They're named because they look like mice. When you light one, it travels in a straight line until it explodes. They're useful if you need to blow something up high on a wall, for example.

[runs_on_batteries]

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

[wisdominshadows]

I-

[Her first instinct is to say no, but then she pauses, considering. ]

I have never tried to make a set. But I was taught to make a few others... and some of the principles must be the same. With the right materials and some time, I might be able to recreate them.
