It seems we're all stuck here together like one big happy family, aren't we? Since that's the case... how about we play a little game to get to know each other?

What is most important to you in your entire life? What would you be willing to do anything for? And I do mean anything~

And please, nothing like 'friendship' or 'world peace.' Really dig down deep; we should all be honest with each other, don't you think? ❤

[feel free to answer the question or not, Joshua seems to just be very bored. what a chatty nerd!]

If I say it's you will you disappear?

[giveuponyourself]

Flattery will get you nowhere, Sho.

[soundsurfing]

no way yo aint playin no more games of yours

[giveuponyourself]

It's just a harmless question~

[eyeofassault]

FML is that u ump9?

[giveuponyourself]

I'm afraid you may have me confused with some sort of firearms manufacturer. Not quite your usual mix-up, admittedly.

[downsizes]

I thought "getting to know each other" was meant to begin with an introduction, not... this type of question.

[giveuponyourself]

Anyone can give you a name and an age, or even a hometown and a dating preference. As juicy as that might be, I'm not interested in a relationship.

People are so much more than easy little lists to fill out, don't you think?

[shootstyles]

ahhh, it's kinda embarrassing but id do anything to to reach my goals and live up to the expectations people have of me.

[giveuponyourself]

There's nothing to be embarrassed about. [sure, he says that for now.] That's quite a lofty sense of self you have.

What kind of goals might those be?

[fairysong]

Making my mark on history. Being remembered.
Or just having a place to call home.

You?

[giveuponyourself]

Those are two very different answers. I wonder which you truly believe in?

As for me.... there's nothing.

[hauhra]

That's a pretty loaded question for you to be asking people who are essentially complete strangers under the pretense of "getting to know one another". How exactly do we know that you're being equally honest and won't be using this information against us in the future, hm?

[ because that's just the sort of thing dark bakura would do if he were in joshua's place and he's sure as hell not going to fall for it when someone else is doing it. ]

[giveuponyourself]

Fair enough. You’re under no obligation to answer, of course.

What, praytell, do you think I would do with information like this? Here I thought I was just posing a harmless thought exercise!

[Yeah whatever you lying liar]

[taketori]

As has been said already, that's a fairly intrusive question to present to a group of people you've just met.

[ But, since he asked... he should come up with an answer. ]

Peace of mind. That's something important to me.

[giveuponyourself]

Maybe so. But it produces a lot of interesting answers, don't you think?

That's all I'm looking for. [probably.]

What is it that would give you peace of mind? Financial stability? Job satisfaction? Maybe you just want to stay home and raise the kids?

[fuck1ngusernam3]

u can b honest w my ass ❤

srsly wtf do u think this is a fuckin therapy session? y do u even want 2 kno

[giveuponyourself]

Oh my. The least you could do is buy me dinner first~

Trust me, if you have some problems you need to talk out, I don't care. I simply thought it would be a fun little icebreaker.

text

[reeliable]

those are kind of personal questions to be asking at large, don't you think?

usually people just ask about hobbies or things they do to kill time around the temple rather than go straight into deep conversation..

[giveuponyourself]

Do YOU really care what some stranger's hobbies are?

[explosivo]

You're kinda a nosy fuck aren't you or are you just bored
How about you answer first huh???

[giveuponyourself]

I did think it would be a nice way to pass the time.

My answer is that... I don't have an answer.

There's nothing I would give up everything for, or do anything for. Everything in life comes and goes. What matters is what you chose to hold on to, how you react when everything's gone; how you act when you must move on.

text

[formleg]

That's a little personal to start out with. We haven't even given each other our names. Don't most people start with things like favorite color or where you're from?

[giveuponyourself]

Frankly, I don't really care what anyone's favorite color is.

But mine's pink.

[godcards]

Freedom. Say what you want about that, I'm not particularly secretive about it.

[giveuponyourself]

Oh, now that's a good answer!

The freedom to go wherever you please regardless of rule or law, live as you want to live, do what you please.

Is that what freedom means to you?

[text]

[tamerinblue]

That isn't even a game...not to mention that's a really dumb question.

[giveuponyourself]

Anything can be a game if you're having enough fun with it!

Why do you think it's dumb?

text

[heartslight]

what's wrong with answering friendship if it's true? you said you wanted us to be honest, didn't you?

[giveuponyourself]

I suppose it's a perfectly fine answer... if you're a simpleton.

Would you kill someone in the name of friendship?

Would you cut off someone's arm in the name of friendship?

Would you doom an entire city of people, in the name of friendship?

[eraserdad]

[well this is suspicious.]

if you're trying to gather information on other people's weaknesses, this is a fairly transparent ploy

[giveuponyourself]

[nnnnaaaaaaahhhhh why would it be suspicious]

Is it? If I were so clever enough to exploit this information against you, do you think I would be simple enough to phrase it in such an obvious way?

[metagame]

Friendship. [No stranger on the internet is ever going to take that answer away from him.]

[giveuponyourself]

[Gosh, don't you read the rules!!]

Seriously?

How boring.

text

[theseuschip]

Are you serious?
You should at least think about retiring the phrase “how about we play a little game”.

[giveuponyourself]

Oh? What makes you say that?

I'm quite a fan of playing games to pass the time.

[activatingcombatmode]

Come on, what the hell is so bad about wishing for friendship and world peace?

If I gotta pick something it would be steak.

Maybe ladies.

[He's taking this question very seriously.]

[giveuponyourself]

If you had to chose between world peace and a night with the best steak dinner of your life and some pleasurable company, don't you think you'd take the night on the town?

'World peace' and 'friendship' are such fickle and boring sentiments. I would much rather have a steak dinner.

[petrifying]

But what if the answer is my friends?

[giveuponyourself]

Then you must be a terribly un-thoughtful person.

[god what's with all these boring friendship nerds!!]

[sendinthecavalry]

Ramen. Totally ramen.

[No one ever said it had to be completely true, did they?]

[giveuponyourself]

Mmmmm~

A good bowl of shio ramen is a rare treasure indeed.

[It may be an untrue answer, but hey, Joshua 10000% agrees.]

[dadandgone]

MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE AND DAUGHTER OF COURSE! ❤❤❤

[giveuponyourself]

[.................................well.]

That's certainly enthusiastic of you.

I wonder if they feel the same way.

[pidgeypidge]

My family.

[That's it. No elaboration.]

[giveuponyourself]

I suppose that's ALMOST more interesting than friendship.

In as much as I suppose I owe you kudos, for being so dedicated to people just because you're born with them. But I suppose we're all bound by our roots, aren't we?

[unrecovered]

[Holy shit, this isn't an icebreaker so much as it is glacier mining. Time to make a note of this guy, because Astoria has pulled in one sociopath already (he thinks) and he wouldn't be surprised if she's managed to snag another.]

[After all, what kind of person asks the equivalent of "tell me your greatest weakness" in public?]

why?

[giveuponyourself]

Didn't I just say why?

I hope you're not one of those people that doesn't read everything. I bet you even skip the Terms of Agreement.

[...........He would skip them too, if he was alive and using human technology.]

[spaceforged]

If we're being honest with each other that extends to you too. So, what other questions do you plan to follow up an answer with?

Just seeing what your goals are with this game.

[giveuponyourself]

It would depend on what someone's answer is. I'm not filling out some sort of form or a list of checkboxes after all. I prefer things to be much more personal.
