Hades: I think I was six or seven. Real little, whenever it was. I was crouched down on this path and watching a snail slowly make its way across. Some other kids walked past, and one of them went out of their way to stomp on the snail. For some reason, I still remember that. Didn't like it.

Lynn: So this kid messes up a big spot. Like he's supposed to run in and break up a pin but he's off somewhere and doesn't make it in time, which forces the guy to kick out of a finisher he wasn't supposed to. So like, blame the kid who couldn't make the run-in, right? Except the champ's a real asshole about it and he takes it out on the guy who 'took away his heat' and gets him in the corner, pulls his shirt over his head, and just like, chops the shit out of him. Over and over, resisting any attempt made by the guy to get out of the corner. I think the heat goes on for a full minute. I didn't stick around to see what happened backstage because I'm not about that drama or conflict, but apparently they're all made up now. I'd be pissed.

Vladimir, closing a book: Cruelty is defined by Miriam-Webster's Dictionary as 'callous indifference to or pleasure in causing pain and suffering.' Following this definition, I see 'cruelty' in every day of my life. I perpetuate some of it. If you think I am somehow wrong for this, then you gravely misunderstand how the world works and live in some fantasy where everybody can just share a bountiful, endless supply of resources and we'll all live happily ever after. I can't pay mind to the suffering of every single homeless miscreant on the street, it would be enough to drive someone mad. What a silly question.

Ruth: What stands out is the first time one of my hens ate her own clutch of eggs. I had no idea chicken moms would ever do something like that! Looking back it's like, a little silly? But it deffo freaked me out the first time it ever happened.

Question: If you were president for a day and had unchecked power to do whatever you saw fit (no congress getting in the way), what would you do?
V8 Characters:
Hades Thompson: Scary on the outside, dying on the inside
Ruth Flanagan: Never talk to me or my brother or my brother or my brother or my brother ever again

Dominiqua: I would make sacred land untouchable for oil companies.

Don: I'd add more parties. To me, there's really no difference between Democrats and Republicans.

Chester: I'd make it so that cops who commit police brutality are held accountable, fired, and jailed.

Karen: Better voting protections. I heard a child could hack those voting machines.

Wendy: Maybe put a stop to all the wars.

Question: Of the following elements: Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, Darkness, Light; which one would you want power over?

Gabrielle: Wellll... I gotta know whats the specifics first. What the fuck is 'Darkness' as a power? Do I just move shadows? Do I become the shadows? Is Light just me shining a flashlight on people's faces? What are you trying to do with this?

Erika: Earth.

Betty: Water! I live swimming and most things on earth have a lot of water in it anyways.

Lorenza: I think wind should be a decent choice, hmm? I suppose it depends on what wind is defined as by you specifically, but I guess for now I can just, like, settle on tornados n stuff.

Isaiah: Earth is nice. Save the planet and stuff :D

Question!
Erika: How's your relationship with your family?

How's your relationship with your family?
Katelyn: I had a good relationship with my parents, but my aunt and uncle are sorta distant, and I think Ash hates me...
Natasha: My parents are good to me, and have gone through a lot for my sake. I love them and owe them many times over, and I hope someday they'll be freed from the crushing boot of capitalism.
Lucio: My parents are loving but homophobic, which isn't so great for me. My siblings are all great, but they're all sorta obsessed with the inheritance from our parents. Sometimes I worry that things will get ugly when the wills come due.

Question:
Lucio: If you could hang out with any fictional character for a whole day, who would you pick?

Dominiqua: I guess Katniss Everdeen. I’d ask her to teach me how to use a bow.

Don: I’d probably wanna hang out with the villagers from Animal Crossing.

Chester: Maybe Sonic the Hedgehog. I still have a soft spot for the blue blur.

Karen: Well, I guess I’d pick... Kyo Sohma.

Wendy: Oh wow, there’s a lot of characters I have in mind. -w- But if I had to choose, I’d go with Legosi from Beastars. He is such a cinnamon roll. ^////^

Question: What is your favorite desert or snack food?

Question: What is your favorite desert or snack food?
Elodie: I like those little gas station pastries, they're cheap and can be found everywhere. But, oh oh! What about Takis? Or hardboiled eggs? Or cheesy mac? Or taters or breeeeead? Gosh, I'm so hungry!!

Ashlee: Pocky and Shrimp Chips. Yeah, I'm a stereotype. *laughs*

Laci: Vegan green tea cookies are a nice reward, wouldn't you think? I was happy when I found a recipe, you have no idea.

Ty: Honestly, nothing beats a good sandwich after a long day.

Question: If you had the ability to completely wipe out any trope, cliche, or stereotype in fiction, what would you pick?

Katelyn: Ugh, death fake-outs. It's such a cheap trick to stir emotion in the audience and it's so overdone nowadays. Just, like, either have them come close to death without seemingly dying, or like, actually have them die for once.
Natasha: I would like socialism and communism to be presented more honestly in the mainstream media of my home country, but I realize that is unlikely to happen so long as capitalism continues to dominate.
Lucio: You know the one thing I hate about modern anime is the gratuitous fanservice. Like, I get it, I like big tits and fat asses too, but if I really wanted to see that shit and be horny about it I'd just be able to look up some hentai, you know? Either show me some boobs and butts with some sort of purpose besides titillation, or keep it tasteful, all I'm saying.

Question:
Katelyn: You come across a death note (you know, from Death Note) in some part of your home one day. What do you do with it, and why?

What's your opinion on sports?

Gabrielle: I have nothing but contempt for sports when I'm participating in them, although it is fun to see literal adult men screaming over a random ball.

Lorenza: I used to not like 'em, but... I have recently developed a peculiar affection for some niche ones. It's a good way to keep my physical body in tip-top shape!

Betty: Meh, I don't really have much of an opinion at all.

Erika: ... I dunno. Some people are intense about it, though.

Isaiah: I love sports: They let me bond with people and keep my body healthy, although It's hard to decide on which one I should commit too....

Question:

Gabrielle: What do you like to do on the internet and social media? Selfies? Fandoms? Politics? hmm?

Dominiqua: I like to upload photos of animals and nature, and post them on my blog.

Don: I host gaming streams. Not to brag, but I do have a decent number of followers.

Chester: I try to voice my concerns on social and political issues. #BLM

Karen: I usually use the internet for research for school. I’m currently looking into colleges I can attend for business management.

Wendy: >_>” Oh, well, I like to upload my artwork and look at work by other artists, mostly those who draw anime and animals.

Question: What is the worst/scariest dream you’ve ever had?

Amaryllis: The dream started and I was already falling down through an open blue sky. As I fell lower, the ground appeared, like in one of those old 3D video games back from when they were just starting making those, the rendering effect. Like it just popped out of the fog, almost fully formed; there was a white picket fence on the edge of a green grassy cliff, and in the waters below the cliff a ship was pulling in. A whole white yacht. I fell down to the fence and landed just on the little strip of land, not more than a few inches thick, that were left on the other side of the fence. You know, the side you don't stand on. I landed there, and for a little while everything was calm, and I got to just watch the boat coming in—but then it started shaking the cliff as the motor churned the water, and I lost my balance and fell and got sucked under the waves.

Eugene: My house burned down and when the fire department showed up their hoses shot flames and made it even worse! I don't think anyone was inside but if they were they'd probably be pretty fucked up seeing that, like the guys who show up to put the fire out just put more fire on the fire, what? Thankfully I was okay, since I was the one who started the fire. But the dream started after I did that, and it wasn't exactly my idea, so, I dunno, maybe I should've been in there.

Coda: I lost the fencing championship, and I found out at the same time that the guy I was fighting like okay his sword, his sword turned into a fucking real actual sharp pointy stabby sword and he gutted me on the mat. Everyone cheered like he won the olympics as I tried to put myself back inside of me. When I woke up I was sweating so gross that I needed to throw my blanket in the washing machine.

Mai: I got lost in a department store when I was really little for a long time, and I flash back to that every now and then. I was little, little enough to run into the round hangar with all the dresses on it and hide inside. I went in just for a second and when I came out—poof! Parents were gone. In my dreams I either never find them or the store goes on forever, or something, but I don't have nightmares very often. My sleep's pretty nice these days!

K: I haven't remembered a dream in... years, I think.

???????: Okay, there's a castle. It's in a grassy field by a lake. I'm standing in the field, and I'm looking at the castle. And I know it's not just a castle. The castle stands in for something. The something is called 'Utgard.' I don't know what that is. I get a very specific sense, like my neck is going to lose one of the bone ring thingies, and I feel like I'm going to vomit, because this Utgard castle thing is a real place, it's a real place I need to stay away from and I don't know where it is! But then I wake up and it's okay. I don't know what's the problem with that castle, it looks nice enough. It's not an evil castle or anything, really, just a plain stone castle. Empty, and weathered. Weird, huh? But that strangling feeling is the worst. It feels like I'm drowning.

What's the most defining moment on your lifetime?
Katelyn: ...P-Please can we... c-can we stop with these questions? I d-don't want to... l-look, if it will get you guys to stop, then... it was... it was the car accident that k-killed my parents, and almost killed me. N-now please, stop asking!
Natasha: The moment when I realized the inherent cruelty of capitalism, and learned of the mechanisms through which the capitalist class maintained their power.
Lucio: Shit, I'm not really sure I have a defining moment, if I'm being honest. I mean, who does, really? Not like that many of us get that moment where our dad tells us to get in the robot, or we attempt human transmutation to bring back our dead mom and discover the secrets of the universe, or whatever else. Most of us are just average joes, you know? I know I am.

Question:
Katelyn: You find yourself trapped in a slasher movie, and you know for a fact you're not going to survive. How do you end up getting killed?

Francis: "Shiie- I don't know man, I ain't the dying type. I mean it's gonna end badly, I'm the one funny motherfucker in the movie, and I'ma probably piss 'em off or som'n I mean I'd magdump him with my dad's gun or run him over or some shit, hell I'd kick 'em in the dick if I had the time after that. I don't know. That one guy that gets the five minute Eli Roth death, like, get my arms and legs pulled off and shit. Eyes gouged out, head pulled off. Every damn thing, I guess. Green Inferno shit. It would be painful ayy eff, but that'd be the best scene in the whole goddamn movie so worth it I guess."

Question: You get to start a country. What's your flag look like. What symbols are you gonna choose and what do they mean? What colors?
