Let’s get to know each other IC!

[Lyra Potter]

Welcome to a new birthday topic! This thread will run throughout the birthday celebration!! It is based on this OOC thread if you want to see how it's worked in the past.

Pick one of your characters and respond to the question posted in character. You may reply with as many characters as you like, but post the answer under each account instead of in one long post. Every 24-48 hours a new question will be asked and you respond to that with your character. Feel free to jump in at any time!

Let’s get this show on the road!

WHAT IS THE DUMBEST WAY YOU’VE BEEN INJURED?

I’m almost embarrassed to admit it, but once broke my pinky toe by walking into a chair in my bedroom. The chair had been in the same spot for over a year.

 

[Monty Pendleton]

Er... well, I must have been about thirteen or fourteen. Thinking I was being incredibly clever, I built a microphone that allowed me to pick up and amplify the sound of my neighbour's television. Unfortunately, it also amplified the sound of a motorbike revving in the street. My ears never did quite recover.

 

[Norton Gillespie]

That one time I got hit with a bludger while sitting on the bench.....or that time I hit the bludger and then it hit me!

[Lars van Houten]

...I once tripped over my own feet in our backyard and fell on my face on the gravel path, because I was distracted by the nice clouds in the sky

 

[Rhiannon Archer]

The first time I had to give an injection I stabbed myself with the needle as I was taking the cap off.

 

[Briar Rowan-Cullen]

Umm. Well I was camping. And I ran into a stranger and invited them to join me for some stew. Because it was cold almost dark, and they looked hungry. What I didn’t realise was, well that was the night I became a werewolf.

 

[Lyla Edwards]

There is a scar down my right shoulder blade about two inches long. I was eight years old, and I made a bet with my older sister, 12, that I could climb the tallest tree in the woods by our house. If I did it, she would do the dishes for two weeks. If I failed, I would have to do her chores all summer. Now, as an adult, I understand why this was a terrible idea and yes my sister should have known better. Anyway, I reached the top of the miro branches and pumped my fists in the air. In doing so, I fell out of the tree, reaching for any branch I could I grabbed myself before I dropped. Dislocated my shoulder, and a branch got me bad in the back, my sister had to help me get down. She promised she would do my chores for the rest of the summer if I didn’t get her in trouble with Mom, so I took it. We made up a story that would be less likely for either of us to get in trouble and I still don’t think Mom believed it, but she didn’t seem to want to ask more questions.

Next question—

What is your most unusual talent?

 

[Maya DeNiro]

Does disappointing my criminal of a father counts? He always used to say I was a natural at it.

 

[Amy Jewel]

I am unnaturally flexible. I can put my leg next to my ear and bend my back to put my head between my legs. Not at the same time though, but that would be even cooler!

 

[Professor Adorah Zumwalt]

I am able to make a few pretty accurate bird calls because of the amount of time I spent outside growing up. Side note: don't actually do this around the birds because then they might flock towards you.

 

[Professor Kalif Styx]

Playing the organ or retro video games.

 

[Professor Elvera Le Fey]

I have a knack for being in the right place at the right time. and I would like to think I give pretty good advice.

 

[Selene Le Fey]

I am good at functioning on little sleep. And at remembering dreams apparently most people can’t.

 

[Willow Cullen]

I am pretty good at fitting in to whatever the social situation requires

 

[Rhiannon Archer]

I am good at always telling the truth. But recently I have had to learn how to twist the truth so as not to break the international statute of secrecy.

 

[Briar Rowan-Cullen]

I am good at acting before I think. And picking the least predictable solution to a problem. (Useful for working with demiguises)

 

[Cyndi Kingsley]

What is your most unusual talent?

Knowing when my children are getting themselves into trouble. Really, I've just noticed they get more silent than usual but they haven't caught on that that's how I know.

 

[Grayson Wolfe]

Knowing when my sister is lying. I dunno, is that unusual? We're twins so maybe its not that unusual.

 

[Chante Harvelle-Ateara]

Some spells may not work on me, I just don't know which because I never been attacked before. I get it from my parents.

 

[Chayton Ateara]

and i hope you never find out little heart.

for a wizard, especially one with giant blood, I have an unusual ability to understand and work with machines.

 

[Madlyn Ateara]

I have some talent in woodwork, like whittle wood. I'm not that great, as my younger sister is the wand maker in our family. I can make some stuff.

 

[Dederick Cullen]

I can erm...make my own net for fishing, and brew a good ale.

 

[Lyra Potter]

Love the answers! Keep them coming!

What’s the funniest name you can think of for a pet?
