Claude O'Neil Porter- "Oooh that's a tough one! I have so many favorite menu items that it's pretty hard to pick the one that I love more than the rest. If I were forced to choose just one, though, I would choose the beer battered chicken tenders with a side of shoestring fries and ketchup... just thinking about that is making my stomach bubble. But, if I have more liberty with my answer, there are three favorites I would choose a double cheeseburger with seasoned fries, beer battered chicken tenders with shoestring fries, and crispy fried chicken tenders with a side of curly fries and potato chips!"

Question: What's a movie genre that you think is overrated and also a movie genre that's underrated?

Question: What's a movie genre that you think is overrated and also a movie genre that's underrated?
Priya: I think romance dramas suck. Grindhouse horror's great.

Florrie: I don't like psychological horrors- too easy to poke holes in, I suppose. Just yelling at the screen "what are you thinking? That's such a stupid move, etc." but I really like documentaries about niche things.

Johannes: Historical drama is overrated. Science Fiction is underrated.

Marcy: Overrated? Political Thrillers. Uuugh, just a buncha old dudes in suits yapping on for hours. Blah blah blah, BOOOooooooooring... You know what I miss? MUSICALS! Why have we stopped making them?! Do people just hate having fun?!

Koa: Errrrrm, well uh, I might get a bit of hate for this but um... Studio Ghibli style films, I guess? They're good, don't get me wrong! I just... I dunno man, I think it's a shame they're the only kinda anime films that get any mainstream attention is all. Guess that'd make non-Ghibli anime flicks my pick for underrated too?

Johnny: Now, there's a couple rumours out there that Johnny's a bit of a scaredy cat when it comes to horror movies... But that ain't true! I just, uh, think they're kinda dull is all... Ahem, but you know what's real underappreciated? Racing movies! Fast cars, high stakes, drama galore... What's there to dislike?

Florida: Weeell, I think movies are pretty overrated in general compared to TV, but I guess I'm particularly tired of all the superhero flicks that keep coming out. As for underrated... HMMmmm, Space Operas I guess? NOT Star Wars, heaven forbid, but Dune proved there's more to the genre than lightsabers and muppets.


Question: Congratulations, you've just won $10,000! What do you do spend it on?

Claude - "My partner is... frankly, I couldn't really give a concise answer that I'd be okay with. Reason being that many of the kids in Redwood are the types that I don't really think would realistically manage to make it through the race, me included! But if I must choose, I would pick Lily since she's my best friend. Sure I have other choices but they aren't really... I don't know, to be fair-- I just feel like Lily is my best bet. Now, as to what I bring to the table, it's my athleticism; to be perfectly clear, me and Lily both are physically fit, so we're both bringing that to the table. Bah! I dunno how to properly answer this!"

Birch: "................yeah, y'know what, fuck it. I'd kill my parents for making me waste my entire fucking life. No reason not to at that point."

Alice: "Hm. It'd depend on what kind of apocalypse, no? I actually think we'd have a decent--not high, but decent!--chance of making it through some of the mass extinctions our planet has experienced before. Like, the K-Pg extinction event would be *rough,* but if you're far enough away and made it through the initial shockwave, the firestorms, etc., then we'd be much better equipped to survive the subsequent years of endless winter than the megafauna of the time were--we can grow food in artificial light, after all. So, I'd probably gather up everyone I can reach and try to get to a bunker.

If the world's just getting blown up or something, though, and there's no chance of survival, then I'll...do the usual things, I guess. Find people I care about, tell them I love them."

Vivian: *flashes a v-sign* "Well, it's a good thing I'm already living each day like it could be my last! Means I can keep doing exactly what I was doing before."

Beau: Around 9 hours. A good night's sleep is always perfect for a fit body!

Inessa: I think I'd sometimes get 6 hours a night. But for other times... I don't think I sleep at all... (">_>)

Marino: Probably... 7 or 8? Look, when you get high on dope it's hard to tell time.

Remi: I go to bed at 10:00, then wake up at 6:00

Question: If you get forced to take a 24-hour Internet Detox, what would you do in your spare time?

Claude - "I get a full eight hours of sleep ninety percent of the time. The other ten percent of the time, I tend to not sleep that much and probably only get three hours of sleep in... those rare instances suck!"

Wade: I’d just knock on some random guys door and shoot him, and I’d keep the gun in a shoebox under my bed after. There’s like a 60/40 shot I never even hear about it in the news depending on the neighborhood. No motive. No connection, and I’d wear a Covid mask during it in case of cameras.

Londyn: If the president were coming to town for a speech or whatever, I would pay some homeless guy to rush the stage to distract the secret service bozos. Then, I’d unalive the president with a sniper rifle from way far away so I have time to get out of there. uh, in Minecraft, I mean.

Alec: Alright, the first thing I do is parachute in while the museum is closed. Then I cut through the skylight with one of those glass…cutting…things. Then, I’m rappelling down to the floor and tiptoeing around like a sneaky bastard. When I get to the painting, I take out the can of tomato soup, throw it on the painting, and the I’m climbing back up through the skylight. I’ll be outta there before guards even know they’ve been souped, it’s low key genius.

Question: Do you cook for yourself? If you do, do you enjoy doing it?
Mortimer: "Only using the microwave and boiling water for pasta. I used to be in culinary arts class back during my freshman and sophomore years, but it was a complete mess for my group tables that I was assigned in."

Emma: "Not really. Sometimes I help out, but my dads are usually the ones who do the cooking. There are also times I swing by some fast food place, since I get the munchies after buying pot."

Joanne: "What do I look like, your servant? I get others to cook for me."

Vanessa: "Of course, I cook! I know what the folks mange on, comin' from the butchery at town. It's always good to share the spices and tips to people. My cher enjoys my cooking!"

Question: What is the greatest game you ever played? This question does not apply to video games, it applies to "any" game.
It's so hard when your on your own
You might fall into the Forbidden Zone

[+] V9 kids
Mortimer Schuab - The creator is converted into an avatar of all. Happy to tell you that life is completely meaningless and that everyone is going to die horribly.
Emma Drakenberg-West - Rebelling against the system with the power of metal and punk music gets you by, only for a little while, unless you decide to do the right thing only by getting your hands dirty.
Joanne Martinez - She enforces the authority of the school, but even a queen bee must lose the stinger. Now, she wants to make her point clear on who rules.
Vanessa Thibodeaux - Humans and animals are both the same. The lines officially blur for a butcher who will now become the executioner.

Sylvie: ...I have to admit I cried at several points while playing Spiritfarer. Such a beautifully written game.

Raya: Purely because of how funny it is when everyone begins hating each other and immediately stops five minutes after the game ends, Monopoly.

Manuel: BASKETBALLLLLLL 🔥🔥

Céline: There was a crossword puzzle in the sun a few months ago that was... something.

QUESTION: What was your dream job as a kid?

Marcy: As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a dancer...

Koa: Oh, easy! I wanna become a pro-wrestling superstar, just like my old man! That dream ain't dying anytime soon!

Johnny: Hmm, I remember once thinkin' when I was a kid that I'd grow up to become a rock star... And probably still could! But nowadays, I wanna hit the big leagues y'know? Whether that be baseball, or F1, or... I dunno man, wherever the wind takes me!

Florida: Oooh, soooo I remember for the longest time that I really, really REALLY wanted to be amongst the first wave of Martian colonists! But then I read about how, uh... Unlikely that was to ever happen, but it's given me some neat ideas for future books!
