[Ikaru]

what should i ask you about?

Anything you want to know!

Why do you always feel the need to justify everything you do?

Doesn't everyone...?

To answer, because with a solidified reason to do something, I'm more inclined to go through with it as opposed to, well, not.

i.e. deciding to go to a LIGHTS concert the day before because I love her; not going to an anime con months in advance because I don't really care

^This.

Why do you seem to depress yourself?

Also how do you feel about me doing AP on hit Varus mid and going 8/3 against Kat <<

Because the way I think tends to go from bad to worse- I'm sure Ame has a technical term for it but I always think of the worst so I'm either right, or pleasantly surprised. Or, well, my train of thought just hates me, because I draw the slightest negative connections out of nowhere, usually. OR MAYBE I LIKE BEING SAD OKAY I DON'T KNOW STOP HASSLING ME

I didn't think it existed but that had to be a bad Katarina or something because how is that even possible she exists to kill your kind

Why do you deny your squidiness?

Because it was an inside joke with the friend who made it my nickname and idk I never really liked it but I very much liked said friend

Do you enjoy rainy days?

Definitely, especially when it gets really cold afterward

ikaroooo

4. Favorite zoo animal? Penguins!

7. Favorite School Subject? Is "Lunch" still an applicable answer? No? Fine, science. Particularly physics and/or astronomy

95. How much wood does a wood chuck, chuck if a wood chuck could chuck would? The amount of wood that woodchucks would chuck on a given day varies greatly with the individual woodchuck. According to a Wall Street Journal article, New York State wildlife expert Richard Thomas found that a woodchuck could chuck around 35 cubic feet of dirt in the course of digging a burrow. Thomas reasoned that if a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would chuck an amount equal to 700 pounds.

Some say it depends on three factors:

• The woodchuck's desire to chuck said wood.
  

• The woodchuck's need to chuck the aforementioned wood.
  

• The woodchuck's ability to chuck the wood when it is a woodchuck
  

Others say:

• The woodchuck could chuck as much wood as he wanted!
  
• "Sixteen and 1/2 board feet a day- except on Groundhog's Day since groundhog is another name for woodchuck."- This answer is according to no less an authority than the 'Junior Woodchucks Guidebook', a publication often consulted by Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck and referred to yet again by them in answering this very same question.
  
• How Chuck Norris got involved-A woodchuck would only chuck as much would as Chuck Norris would allow it to, because the woodchuck shares Chuck's name. Therefore, Chuck must punish it and make it chuck as much wood as Chuck can. So, a woodchuck would chuck as much wood as Chuck could.
  
• None because a wood chuck cannot chuck wood!
  
• Approximately 3.9675 pounds every 5.6843 seconds. So there.
  
• 2.865 lbs every 11.3686 Seconds?
  
• As much as he needed to be satisfied.
  
• It could chuck a lot. But it definitely couldn't chuck Chuck Norris.
  
• A group of people actually did a study on this. None of the woodchucks ate any wood planks so they never upchucked it but some of them chucked them (threw them) at people.
  
• During my study of Woodchuck I came to the conclusion that woodchucks don't chuck wood but only drink beer.
  
• However, this beer can frequently motivate them towards actions that can closely resemble the chucking of wood.
  
• A woodchuck will only chuck certain wood, likely that which is found in their natural, prairie habitat. Therefore, the lack of trees on the prairie is quite closely related to the chucking of wood performed by these wood-chucking woodchucks.
  
• Since it is the same animal as the Groundhog, should we not instead ask : how much ground would a groundhog hog if a groundhog would hog ground.
  
• The above is pretty goood, but I think that the groundhog would be hogging sod.
  
• 315g. This was an estimate done in a book of useless trivia.
  
• A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck - if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
  
• About as many good cookies a good cook could cook, if a good cook could cook cookies good.
  
• About as many boards as the bored Mongol hordes would hoard if the bored Mongol hordes did hoard boards in gourds.
  
• He would chuck, he would, as much as he could, he would, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
  
• If he could chuck wood, the woodchuck would chuck as much as he could!
  
• If a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would and should chuck wood. But if woodchucks can't chuck wood, they shouldn't and wouldn't chuck wood. Though were I a woodchuck, and I chucked wood, I would chuck wood with the best woodchucks that chucked wood.
  
• If a woodchuck could chuck wood, then s/he'd chuck all the wood, s/he'd chuck and chuck and chuck and chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
  
• It would chuck the amount of wood equal to the seashells that sweet Suzy Shoreham sells by the seashore divided by how many primary pickled peppers Peter Piper picks.
  
• One quarter of a sycamore if you give him a quarter for every quarter of the sycamore he cut.
  
• It might depend on how many female woodchucks were present. Or, it could depend on whether the woodchuck's mother-in-law was around or not. If she was, he'd be chucking all day. If not, he'd be watching the football game.
  
• Some maintain that woodchucks could not and would not chuck wood at all.
  
• It depends on how good his dentures are!
  
• A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. But unfortunately, woodchucks do not chuck wood.
  
• About 5.72 fluid litres of wood
  
• About as many boards as the Mongol hoards would hoard if the Mongol hordes did hoard boards.
  
• Tons. More than you can count. Honestly. No one can chuck more would than a woodchuck.
  
• If the woodchuck's name was Maurice, then it could chuck all the wood that it wants to. However, if its name is Frank, no chucking would be for it.
  
• Due to the average size of a woodchuck and the general density of wood (not including cork [which is actually bark]) if a woodchuck could chuck wood it would probably get through about 6.573 pounds per day, assuming the woodchuck is functioning correctly.
  
• Using the formula: (W + I) * C where W = the constant of wood, which is well known to be 61, as agreed in many scientific circles. I = the variable in this equation, and stands for the word "if" from the original problem. As there are three circumstances, with 0 equaling the chance that the woodchuck cannot chuck wood, 1 being the theory that the woodchuck can chuck wood but chooses not to, and 2 standing for the probability that the woodchuck can and will chuck wood, we clearly must choose 2 for use in this equation. C = the constant of Chuck Norris, whose presence in any problem involving the word chuck must there, is well known to equal 1.1 of any known being, therefore the final part of this calculation is 1.1. As is clear, this appears to give the answer of (61 + 2) * 1.1 = (63) * 1.1 = 69.3. However, Chuck Norris' awesome roundhouse kick declares that all decimal points cannot be used in formulas such as this, and so it must be rounded to the final solution of 69 units of wood.
  

Pick your poison.

96. How much is that Doggie in the Window? There is no doggie

99. Where were you in 1999? Depends on the perspective. I was in 1999 in 1999 if we're talking based on time, but for you normal folk I was actually still up north in Pennsylvania, but a wee lad, who would then move to Florida two years later.

100. Whats next for Ikaru? Same thing we do every day, Pinky.

[Melody]

I figured I'd leave a few questions myself. So, Here goes~

1. In your time here on Reborn how has it personally to you, Impacted your life in any way?

2. Do you ever feel like you have been a good figure to others lives in your time here?

3. What is your favorite activities/hobbies?

4. How do you feel about the people here on reborn?

5. What is your favorite book?

6. How come you deem yourself 'socially awkward' when everytime we have talked, We've made extremely decent conversation?

7. Is there anything you are afraid of? If so, May I ask what? (Don't have to answer if it is too personal)

8. In your own thoughts, Mind if I ask what you think of me individually as well? (Always more than welcome to message me that one...)

9. How come you don't ever really battle much anymore when I hear you are actually very good?

10. What is your absolute favorite artist/band and why?

[Maelstrom]

Where did this come from?

And who is Christina Vee, besides apparently the voice for Riven?

What are your top 5 (or so) favorite personas?

Favorite drink?

[Ikaru]

I figured I'd leave a few questions myself. So, Here goes~

1. In your time here on Reborn how has it personally to you, Impacted your life in any way?

Ame's done a lot for me actually, and I guess some of the friends I made are all pretty cool people. The league was super fun in season one, too, so there's that. Ask any of the older members about Titania and I and they'll probably be able to tell you about an interesting story c:

2. Do you ever feel like you have been a good figure to others lives in your time here?

Like I said above, that's something you'd have to ask the others in question; I've just been myself.

3. What is your favorite activities/hobbies?

Sitting at my computer all day and all night, occasionally listening to music or playing LoL/MapleStory

Alternatively I actually used to love drawing but I don't do it anymore... I think have a post somewhere in that Art! thread if you're curious

4. How do you feel about the people here on reborn?

Half of you drive me crazy, a little under half of you are pretty okay, and the rest are people I don't know what I'd do without, or would at least be different had I not met them

5. What is your favorite book?

Like I said above, I don't actually read as much as maybe I should, but it'd probably be one of these if it wouldn't be an obligatory Harry Potter book or something.

http://www.goodreads...gons-of-deltora

6. How come you deem yourself 'socially awkward' when everytime we have talked, We've made extremely decent conversation?

In person I probably wouldn't be able to look directly at you while talking to you, or if I could, I probably wouldn't say much.

It's why Kuro and I haven't met in person yet.

Yes.

That's the only reason.

Definitely.

7. Is there anything you are afraid of? If so, May I ask what? (Don't have to answer if it is too personal)

"Unknown things, because this, in the right context, includes darkness, bugs (mostly spiders qqqqq), and well, overall things I'm uncertain of"

8. In your own thoughts, Mind if I ask what you think of me individually as well? (Always more than welcome to message me that one...)

You're super nice and I'm glad I managed to give you a reason to stay on Reborn (along with Ame and whoever else, of course) and I have to give you tons of credit for not giving up on LoL yet.

You're certainly not in the group of people that drives me crazy, at least. And I feel like I should say sorry for, well, reasons that you know that don't need to be openly explained here.

9. How come you don't ever really battle much anymore when I hear you are actually very good?

It's no fun always winning.

In seriousness, because I only really battle when I make new teams to try them out, and whenever someone directly asks while I'm doing absolutely nothing else.

I'm rarely ever actually doing nothing else. It also depends on the person too, I guess. My skill comes from experience though; I'm not actually that good simply because I just use whatever I want to as opposed to things that are considered "viable" or just overall good.

10. What is your absolute favorite artist/band and why?

I cannot answer this. You're asking me to choose between my metaphorical children and I don't think they'd like that.

EDIT: oh. hi Mael.

Where did this come from?

And who is Christina Vee, besides apparently the voice for Riven?

Answering these two together because related:

I found this, and saw Cristina's comment on the video, went to her channel and noticed other things she did, and then that song; I knew the original version so naturally I wanted to hear that one.

What are your top 5 (or so) favorite personas?

Horus, Phoenix, Helel, Yoshitsune, Loki, Jiraiya and obligatory Izanagi-no-Okami

More than 5 but, you know.

Favorite drink?

Whatever I can drink at the moment; I like Iced Tea a lot though

EDIT: whoops I said Izanami instead of Izanagi, fixed

[Amethyst]

Alternatively I actually used to love drawing but I don't do it anymore... I think have a post somewhere in that Art! thread if you're curious

...wait, what? I don't remember anything like this. Why did you stop?

[Ikaru]

...wait, what? I don't remember anything like this. Why did you stop?

I don't have to justify myself to you!

This is what post I was referring to though

And in seriousness I just... stopped. No clue why. Lost interest or something.

[Shanco]

Would you be jealous if I told you I've seen two free shows that LIGHTS put on?

What is so special about Mismagius?

You were a season 1 champ, why not go after season 2?

Why do you take that abuse from Phoenix?

Do you find it somewhat ironic that when I tried to type Hori into my phone, AutoCorrect changes it to "Whore"?

How tired are you of you being called Squid?

[Ikaru]

Would you be jealous if I told you I've seen two free shows that LIGHTS put on?

That's pretty awesome but I don't get jealous easily

What is so special about Mismagius?

My favorite two Pokemon in Gen II (the generation I started with) were Misdreavus and Sneasel; Gen IV did so much for both of them with evolutions and mechanics changes so I'm really glad they're actually useful now.

Also purple's my favorite color. Missy is actually the reason behind that, now that I think about it.

You were a season 1 champ, why not go after season 2?

It was fun once, but it took forever and I never put together a team for S2, although I did battle Aya a couple times with my standard team- I won but never added the badge and really I just use my trainer card to look pretty now.

Why do you take that abuse from Phoenix?

Probably the same reason Horizon tolerates me.

Also I can just as easily be a jerk in return, so it ain't no thang

Do you find it somewhat ironic that when I tried to type Hori into my phone, AutoCorrect changes it to "Whore"?

Not really; in fact I'm sure that's kind of an insult to her.

How tired are you of you being called Squid?

It's not actually that annoying; I definitely prefer "Squid" over "Mikey" at least, but there's still a few people I don't mind calling me that.

[Shanco]

Do you find it somewhat ironic that when I tried to type Hori into my phone, AutoCorrect changes it to "Whore"?

...uh...oops. I was actually still kinda drunk from last night/this morning when I typed that. Sorry...
