Who likes hypotheticals? Okay, actually, let's don't answer that because I bet a whole bunch of you
don't like hypotheticals. But let's say you do, for the sake of understanding what page everyone is on. A lot of people might be on the same page, after all, and other-me pulled out a nice hypothetical situation, and I'd like to pull out a reality. You know, just to see who knows what.
So, uh, hi, I'm Peter Parker. That's a starter! See where I'm going with this? No, well, there's a reason why I'm not your witty clever blogger, but I did consider it a few times. Turns out it's really not for me. I never got any hits and everyone was very unimpressed with me. How
does one become a famous blogger, anyway? Because Perez Hilton pulls it off and everyone can't stand that guy.
Okay, focus.
So, the not-so-hypothetical situation is that it seems like we've got a lot of people here from similar places with similar stuff, and it might be good to ... figure that out! So I'm going to lob out twenty questions (it might be less, I'm writing this by the seat of my pants). I'm not saying that other people can't play along. It might be fun. If you wanna drop a comment of your own and try to figure out this mystery, that'd be great.
Right—uh,
questions!
1. Do you know how miserable it is to stand in the line for Shake Shack, right up until you get a delicious burger into your hands covered in weird not-imitation cheese even if it seems like it, while sipping down the most delicious shake of your life? (If you have any relevant allergies here, you can skip half this question. Or if you're a vegan. I'm gonna be open and conscious here. If you're a vegan, I might wonder about you, because then you may never know the wonder of Shake Shack.)
2. Do you frequently wonder why the east side of New York mostly only has the green line, the most hated line of them all, well known for its frequent jerkery and unpleasant cramming against other bodies?
3. Do you know the Avengers or the Ultimates? Specify which!
4. ... Or the X-Men? Though I think they're kinda defunct these days.
5. What about that masked menace
Spider-Man? Though I've heard rumors that his reputation's looking up lately. I wonder what's going on with that.
6. If none of these are familiar, do you have masked superheroes in your world?
7. ... Do any of these masked superheroes include Batman and Superman? (Though we're using mask in a
loose sense here.)
8. If none of the above, do you use a lightsaber? I need to get your autograph.
That's all! I guess I fail at twenty questions. But I think I got us started, so uh, let's get the ball rolling.
[ooc: as a brief note, questions 1 and 2 refer to NYC staples for all the NYC characters. Shake Shack is a super popular burger establishment and the green line is an often overly packed line that services a large portion of the city. all times are rush hour on it.]
