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.

Comments

[unfavorableinstigation]

[New people who recognize him. There's a difference~]

That's good to hear.

[Nita pats the door behind her.]

No problem - though if you're wanting a peek at my Manual, don't expect to be able to make anything of it.

[She gives him a cock-eyed look.]

[runs_on_batteries]

[At her acceptance, he nods and takes a seat on the edge of one of the bottom bunks. It's.. really the only thing in here to sit on unless he sits on the floor.

He chuckled and shook his head.]

No, but thank you. I have a book about magic I'm already in middle of. Let's start with how are you two different ages?

[unfavorableinstigation]

[Oh, good.

And fortunately that's not the bunk Nita's using.]

Stories, or a how-to?

[She's just curious; the next question just gets Tony a shrug.]

I spent five years in a place where people only aged if they wanted to. I was able to go back home while I was there, and I was 16 when I first Woke in Nautilus.

It hasn't even been two years back home since I Woke, though, and I've lived all that time, too; whenever someone showed up there, time stopped for them precisely when they left.

[runs_on_batteries]

Neither actually. It's how magic works with the physics and science of a realm one of my friends is from. It's quite interesting, but I wouldn't recommend it to most people.

[In other words, it was dry and very technical.

He listened to her explain, nodding as it made sense if only in theory.]

I've been wondering if that happens here too. It's imperative to my universe that that happens to me whenever this train is done with me.

May I ask how you know of smart phones if your world doesn't have them?

[unfavorableinstigation]

... I think I'd like a look at it when you're done with it.

[Plot twist: Nita actually likes doing that kind of cross-universe research.]

I hate when that happens, though; having something else come up right when you're in the middle of something important.

[Like saving the world.

Nita shrugs.]

Oh, we have them, but when it comes to my family personally I don't get along well with them. Even Dad has one, though.

[And Dairine is the tech fiend among them.]

[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?

[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.]
