Hey, it's the Truthiness Meme! AGAIN

[seismic_shockwave]

 Y'alls know how it works. You post with your character(s) and people ask ya questions. Ya gotta answer them truthfully. They can be serious, they can be silly. They could probably be sexy too, if that's your thing (but y'know, it is sort of public, so don't be GROSS). 

TRUTHINESS! ASK PEEPS QUESTIONS!

*laughs* Over your cold, dead body.

[sonoflongshot]

How's your leadership style different from Sara's?

[marvel_boy]

Oh god. That's...you've seen me eat, right? I love food so much. And honestly, the right meal sometimes feels like it puts Animus to sleep. I don't know if it does or not, but it's a comforting thought, you know?

I really love mozzarella sticks with lots and lots of marinara sauce. For an appetizer. But then follow it up with like a giant bowl of spaghetti with browned butter and mizithra cheese? And then tiramisu. All with like a raspberry cream Italian soda. It's like the perfect meal.

Wait, what about you?

[hellfire_empath]

X-Force? I'm sorry, do you see me as someone who's going to run around in tacky spandex with like eight dozen useless pouches?

[guardian_devil]

Ohmygod. I really want to go like bright neon blue with a dark blue ombre effect. And maybe hot pink, but with a little bit of rose gold and blonde mixed in to break it up.

But then I'd have to get a wig. You know. For the Daredevil stuff?

[hisstress]

The only cold dead body that there'll ever be between you and I is yours.

Or maybe your girlfriend's. She doesn't have nine lives, right? Could be tragic for you.

[marvel_boy]

Honestly, I'm not...really that familiar with Sara's leadership style. But I know she's really good at what she does. I'm still trying to figure out what kind of leader I want to be - all I really know is that I want the best for my team and for the X-Men in general. Calm, cool decision-making, using everyone to their best ability, listening to everyone. Never going behind their back on anything. I wanna be fair, honest, open, but also decisive.

[symkarian_princess]

I, for one, am glad you promise to kill my clones. It'll be a nice distraction for you before the bullets hit.

And if you think my girlfriend is some helpless damsel to threaten me with, you've shown why HYDRA goes for people with the bare minimum of intelligence.

[seismic_shockwave]

So what you're saying is that your birthday dinner is gonna look a lot like a meal at The Old Spaghetti Factory?

Which I honestly thought was only existent in Winnipeg for most of my life.

It's just so Winnipeg! Even though it's actually not. D:

Hmm.

There's this one soup I had that I can barely even describe. It had this incredible heirloom tomato broth and there was pieces of the tomatoes and avocados and little bits of pork in it. I'd have that for a starter.

For the mains, I want ... Peking Duck. The real stuff. That's secretly a couple of courses, usually, but it's my fantasy and I'll be a pig if I want to.

Dessert? A sexy cheesecake with salted caramel and pecans.

With that, probably a nice dry white? But I could be just as happy drinking beer.

Now I'm hungry. Dammit.

[seismic_shockwave]

Better than the fucking Hellfire Club, Brooke.

[hisstress]

Helpless damsel? No. But she has a penchant for slipping on that catsuit and going to places she wasn't invited to to steal secrets, doesn't she? Eventually, that'll get the better of her. It's a dangerous life, after all.

As far as I'm concerned...I'm not that easy to kill. It's a family thing. Good genes.

[hellfire_empath]

Excuse you! Language, Kayla! You're in polite society, please mind your manners and your tongue.

The Hellfire Club is legacy. My parents. My late aunt. My grandfather. It's who we are. It's what we do. There was a time when maybe I thought I didn't want it, but the more I think about it...the more it feels like the right fit for me. You wouldn't get it. We're not all evil and doom and gloom, you know.

[seismic_shockwave]

I cannot care less about your propriety.

Someone in the Hellfire Club ate a piece of my actual soul.

You cannot imagine what that is like. The cold numbness that settles in your bones. The complete inability to feel anything. Everything that makes you YOU just slowly bleeding away.

I did absolutely nothing to anyone in the Hellfire Club. The only thing I ever did was walk into the building because my girlfriend wanted the company.

Maybe they needed a piece of my soul for some evil ritual.

But I think it was just for sadistic pleasure.

Those are the people that you are choosing to associate with.

That is what those people do.

Maybe I should stop being so surprised that you'd so happily associate with that.

[hellfire_empath]

I'm sorry that happened to you, Kayla. I know that the Hellfire Club has done a lot of things in the past that are inexcusable. Starting with the whole Phoenix mess and going on down...I mean, I get it. No one in my family associated with it is exactly a stellar, stand-up citizen type. Don't think I don't know that.

But this is what I was groomed to do. Give me a chance here. The Hellfire Club wasn't always all...evil.

[marvel_boy]

Ha! Yes, I think I acually am! That used to be our family thing. Every year when we went to California for Disneyland and Sea World, we'd also have a big thing at Old Spaghetti Factory. Me, Mom, and Dad. I guess as a kid, there wasn't a lot I would eat besides spaghetti, so Mom and Dad kind of had to, you know. Make the best of it.

I didn't know they had them in Canada though!

...You have such a way with food. I mean, talking about it and describing it. You have a cooking blog, right? Because I think you kinda should.

[seismic_shockwave]

So if nobody from your family that was associated with the club was a good person, why are you so eager to follow in their footsteps?

The Hellfire Club was founded on principles of unrepentant elitism and the maintenance of aristocratic power, in active opposition to what it saw as "the mob", ie, the vast majority of humanity, including any elites who happened to be sympathetic or even simply reconciled to liberalization of society.

And then it became a league of mutant supervillains on top of that. And now it's being run by a soul-eating hellbitch who has been walking the Earth for literally millennia. Who is orders of magnitude more powerful than you are.

You know who else was groomed for Hellfire? Stephanie.

[pyroprincess]

Why can't you accept Marcelo?

[hellfire_empath]

I wasn't always eager. Earlier on, I tried to separate myself. Branch out into something different. The Brotherhood. It didn't quite work out, though. Personal feelings and other things...the group eventually split apart, and leaning into familiarity made sense.

And you say elitism and aristocracy like they're bad things. There's good to be found in them as well.

Stephanie wants different things out of life than I do. She wants family and comfort and stability. I've never found family comforting or stable myself.

[hellfire_empath]

Well, this is surprisingly to the point.

My reasons for not accepting him aren't the reasons that you think they are.

[marvel_boy]

Is there any food that you would like never, ever eat or cook?

[marvel_boy]

What are your thoughts on the X-Men? Would you ever work with us?

[hellfire_empath]

Four names? As in four completely separate names apart from the one we already call you?

Seems suspicious.

[marvel_boy]

If you weren't running the school - if you could do or be whoever or whatever you wanted to be - what would you have done?

[pyroprincess]

I thought that was a given. ;)

I'm open to recommendations.

[hellfire_empath]

What's your biggest fear about becoming a parent?
