Re: that ask game post i just reblogged

under a readmore because it's gonna be long. it's about Hasami, obviously.

1: she does have a big one, but she can only sleep with it at home, because, you know. you can't really bring a big stuffed wolf plushie on a mission. (Yes, it's a wolf. She didn't buy it herself, it was a present when she was younger, because giving wolf-related items as presents to an inuzuka is just like. The thing to do. Obviously the wolf-clan girl likes dogs.)

2: plant: no. pet: yes, but only because most childhood chores were some variation of "go take care of puppies". child: absolutely not. please do not attempt to make her hold a baby.

3: this isn't a problem until she's been working as a ninja for several years but one day she realizes that the majority of her friends are incredibly strong, lethal women who are occasionally covered in sweat and blood, and now she has to be. normal. about this.

4: does red facepaint/magical seal tattoos count? if so, yes. if not... maybe? I'm not sure.

5: she's not exactly prone to giving speeches but also. she's based on me and I have exactly zero issues with public speaking, so. She could do it? It's just not exactly the kind of thing that comes up.

6: I'm not sure about who she'd take advice from, because like. It depends on the subject. But if her first impression of you is that you're annoying, she will probably never listen to anything you say, ever. If someone else comes along and agrees with them, she might listen. To them. But she won't be happy about it.

7: im not doing this one because i am incapable of being concise :)

8: Frustrate. She is. She can be smart. But also. She is mostly built for stabbing things. She tried to ask Tenten about fuinjutsu one (1) time to save money on exploding seals and the barest simplest most stripped down fuinjutsu felt like trying to do trigonometry without a calculator. Please do not give this girl a puzzle that cannot be solved with some form of violence.

9: Yes, because I do too. But it's not such a big deal to her because there's more important things, like not dying.

10: She's just fine at the age she is now.

11: Save most of it, but like. Maybe a couple impulse purchases. (Does konoha even HAVE a lottery? Also how would she win, she wouldn't buy a ticket.)

12: Give her a few years.

13: She gets taught lots of life skills, because Ninja Mom. But maybe the most important thing she learned is the fact that sometimes very scary things will just happen and it will be awful and people will lie to you and everyone will just treat it as completely normal!! Thanks!!

14: She would, but also, I haven't thought of any she has. Hrm.

15: Hates cleaning things because they're just going to get dirty again ANYWAYS.

16: I'm going to assume this is for like. Fancy occasion type stuff. Because ninja wear the cost is less important than "will this be a hindrance in a fight y/n". So for NON-mission related clothes. She would like to wear an extremely fancy layered kimono at some point.

17: She IS a children, but even so: not really!! Kids konohamaru's age and younger are mentally classified as "annoying brats"

18: Give her a few years.

19: Studying is hard but if you get good points on the practical that makes up for it!! Also what is a "job interview" she signed up to be a child soldier at age six, and as such never has to worry about them. Because she is already a tool of the state.

20: At some point on a C-rank her team is going to eat at a restaurant that sells food which is like. The naruto-equivalent of western food. Hasami is the ONLY person who likes it, and is SO ANNOYED that she can't get any in konoha. I would say something cheese-based, but I'm not sure if that's common in the elemental nations or not. I know they have cows. But I don't know if cheese is popular.

21: please stop asking about dating questions she is twelve and an idiot

22: no, they're LAME

23: Stability. Novelty is nice but she gets a lot of that in just normal missions. "Stability" is good, when your chosen profession is violence. Unfortunately she lives in konoha, and *looks at orochimaru. and pein. and obito.* uh oh!!!

24: Honesty. Yes she knows there's lots of lies involved in ninja society, but that does not mean she has to Like It.

25: She would probably prefer safety for some stuff, but also: sometimes it is literally not on the table. Unfortunately you do have to take risks as a ninja. A lot. All the time.

26: They are not mutually exclusive even talented people have to put in effort and even people who have to work hard are better at some things than others.

27: Vengeance : )

28: please stop asking about dating questions she is twelve and an idiot

29: She very occasionally dreams about non-narutoland stuff and it is frustrating because that's not her life anymore. Especially annoying when she dreams about traffic because not only should she not have to deal with that anymore, but: she can't even complain about it to other people.

30: The only people who she would care enough to want forgiveness from she wouldn't want to do anything bad to them. She would feel guilty!!! But also, like, she could kill an enemy ninja and Not Really Care because, uh. That's life!! She reincarnated just fine so really if death is the end for you thats a skill issue. Also edo tensei exists so there is SOME form of ninja heaven, clearly.

Chances (Bean/Petra Modern AU)

"I never stood a chance, did I?" The dark-haired boy looks over at the young woman behind the counter, both their faces shadowed with sadness.

"That's the sad part- you did once."

Her words hit home. The boy doesn't know why this stranger's words impact him so much. They shouldn't. They really shouldn't.

From the time he was young, the boy, who was affectionately called Bean, had posessed an extraordinary talent for mathematics. And with that came sciences, technology, and all sorts of gifts. He had been pushed... no, he had been pushed to push himself so far. He was destined for the stars one day. Or so they said. He was at the top of his class, skipping grades, skipping classes, skipping lessons. He had devoted his entire life to being intelligent, objective, and observant. Even if that meant forfeiting friendship, beauty, and emotions.

Now, here he is, a high school senior who has just been rejected by the top college in the world. A disgrace. And his family had let him know it.

"No," he says, fumbling with his phone. "I'm better than ever, now. If I didn't make it now, I wouldn't have made it ever."

"That's not what I'm talking about," she says, focusing on the glass she is cleaning.

Bean has a rare explosion of anger. He rarely has emotional swells, but it's been a long time coming and counter girl just happens to be in the way.

"How dare you talk to me about anything! You don't know me! You don't even know who I am!" He sighs, placing his head in his hands, to hide the tears that spill threateningly under his eyelashes.

"Oh, I know you," she says, seemingly oblivious to his meltdown. "You're Julian Delphiki. The one they all call Bean."

Bean is taken aback by that statement. How does she know? He's not a regular at the place. As far as he knows, they've never met.

"How do you know my name?" What a stupid question, he thinks. Who cares about why? There is nothing concrete, nothing solid, and that scares him.

"Oh, I've heard of you. I've heard of you lots of times. Most do, champion of every academic competition ever held, that Julian Delphiki. The one who was in high school calculus by age twelve?" The way she says it is twisted, just a little, with something like disdain. Or scorn. As if she knows anything about either.

"Let me tell you a story," she says, every word edged like a dagger, tensed like a bomb priming to explode. "Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She loved to learn, and got so good at it. She loved computers, and planes, and solving equations. The lot. She wanted to go to school, and learn more. All those teachers and papers and books! She wanted all of it. And she was so excited, until, one day, in eighth grade, she got home to find that her parents," she says, spitting the word out with venom, "her parents, decided that eight years was enough education for a girl. That she should be looking for a man. Already. At age fourteen. And they told her that nobody ever gets far on books, that she was pretty, and attractive, and all those stupid things, and that she should be building up a life to have a big house, and kids, and cook dinners and breakfasts and feed the dog while some buisinessman goes out and does something with his life!" She stops, panting for breath.

"But guess what?" she asks. "She'd had enough of it. So that night she packed her bags, walked out the door, and started a life for herself. She went from place to place, old basement to empty flat, until she ended up right here, washing dirty dishes while listening to frat party boys drinking their minds out and telling dirty jokes!"

Bean can't think of anything to say. He had realized, by now, that the girl in the story is the girl in front of him. She doesn't look older than eighteen or nineteen, her hair is short and the ruddy color somewhere between red and brown, not quite either of them. Her eyes are a peculiar shade of hazel-brown, and her mouth is-

Bean cuts himself off, hoping he isn't blushing. He cannot have attachment to this woman, no, even after hearing this darkly personal account of her life. He always supposed that matters of romance and dating and crushes on girls while at bars late at night happened only to other people, not to him. He really hadn't noticed that aspect of life. He was too engrossed in his studies.

"I'm... sorry?" he says, feeling like some kind of hypocrite. He isn't good with feelings. Is what he feels really pity? Or is it anger at a system that treated her so unfairly? Or guilt at the thought that she had dreamed of a life like his? Or something else entirely? He may never know.

"I don't want your sorry," she says, another knife-sharp sentance. "I want to tell you that what you stood a chance for isn't some stupid scholarship or fancy letter or dealbreaking endorsement. You stood a chance to do something with your life! A chance me and so many other people would kill for! And you drown yourself in books and awards and contests instead of looking at the world that needs you!"

Bean, for the first time in as long as he can remember, is at a total loss. What she is saying is so true that it surprises him that he hasn't noticed it before. But if he hasn't noticed it before, it can't be true, but it was, and then... what?

Is it possible that he is missing a piece to the equation? That all the time he was asking what the world could give him, and not what he could give the world? Is it possible that his mindless walk through success was given to him, through luck and circumstance, not mental superiority?

Call me self-indulged, he thinks, but that has never occured to me. Not once. He feels like the man in the movie he watched once, where he could take two pills, one that would send him back to the life he knew, and one that would let him see the reality. Except for the reality was one where machines ruled the world and his life was a computer program meant to keep humanity docile and under control. Not exactly realistic, for him.

But pills are hard to swallow, and especially the ones who want you to wake up, and see that the world isn't what you think it is. Bean mulls over his mental pill, about whether or not he should forget the girl and the conversation, or whether he should reinvent his idea of how the world works. It scares him a little, how well the girl knows him, how she has managed to get inside the darkest part of his mind. The truth is, he needs someone's help, for the first time in his life, because he doesn't know where to go.

"What's your name?" he asks. Probably the simplest but most complicated question humanity could ever invent.

That makes her smile, just a little bit. "Petra Arkanian," she says, scribbling a phone number on his arm. "Ever wanna talk quadratic equations or the deep impact of humanity's mental state or something, just call me up."

Bean walks out of the bar. His head is spinning and he is confused and tired and a little bit scared, but he feels like a puzzle piece has been put into position, one he didn't know was there in the first place.

He makes sure to record Petra's number in his phone. He's positive that that won't be the last time they speak.

(Note: I do not endorse the sexist and homophobic comments made by the original author of Ender’s Game, and they have no bearing on how I interpret the books)

Mycroft Submission Form

I’ve been flirting with the idea for awhile now, so sure, why not?

Name: Amanda

Nationality: US

Age: 29

Personality Type: ISFP (or so the Internet says…)

Level of Education: HS diploma

Best Subject: English

Worst Subject: Algebra

Favorite Subject: I had a few favorites; Biology/Earth Science, English, History and Art

5 Hobbies (if applicable): Most of my pastimes are the usual things: reading, drawing and the like. I also love to write, and hand-in-hand with that I do a lot MORE reading (which I tend to refer to as “research”) trying to make what I write more believable or at the very least less nonsensical. But I do learn interesting if mostly useless tidbits here and there. I also frequently enjoy walking on nature trails or in parks in my area, particularly if they’re around water.

Favorite Genre of Music/Movies/Books: I’ll start with the easiest half of this question. My taste in books and movies is pretty much the same thing; fantasy. Futuristic, medieval, dystopian, superheroes, magic; I love it. As for music, that’s a little harder to pin down.

Last song you listened to on repeat: I actually don’t recall what song I last listened to on repeat, so instead I’ll tell you the song that’s been stuck in my head. It’s Art of War by Anberlin.

Last phrase you said to another living person: “I tried.”

How many blankets do you sleep with: No more than 3, but it has to be pretty cold before I resort to a third blanket.

7 note worthy skills: I like to cook, and I have no qualms about trying out new recipes (though I make no promises about results). I’m rather articulate and have a deep fondness of words (which I don’t use very often because most of the people I deal with day to day wouldn’t get/appreciate it). I like to sing, well enough to my own ears. I’m a good listener, empathic perhaps to a fault, and I’m good with keeping secrets.

7 noticeable sins: Honestly, I’ve been guilty of all seven at one time or another.

Allergies/impairments/illnesses: My first stint in the hospital three years ago leads me to believe I’m allergic to the antibiotic Bactrim. Apparently it makes my immune system try to kill me.

Level of Intelligence on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being dumb, 2 being below average, 3 being average, 4 being above average and 5 being genius): I’d say I’m probably average. Maybe a shade above.

Level of Fitness on a scale of 1 to 5( 1 being obese, 2 being overweight, 3 being average, 4 being fit and 5 being skinny): This one’s a 2.

Level of Attractiveness on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being Anderson, 2 being below average, 3 being average, 4 being above average and 5 being Mycroft): Again, I would say average, but like most people I could be bias one way or another.

Feline, canine or both: I love how easy-going most dogs are, but I feel like it’s more rewarding when a cat likes you. Currently I have a dog and a cat.

Confidence Level on a scale from 1 to 5 (1 being nonexistent, 2 low, 3 average, 4 above average and 5 Sherlock): I’m going to say 2.5 for this one. It’s not great, but it’s not what it was. And I’m working on it.

Position in the Family (oldest, youngest, middle): I’m the oldest. My brother is 8 years younger than me and we’re pretty close.

Eye Color: I’m told they’re hazel, but closer to the blueish-green side.

Hair Color and Length: Sandy brown, cut just above my shoulders. It gets lighter in the summer time.

Height: 5'7, give or take.

Combat level on a scale 1 to 5 (1 being useless, 2 being somewhat capable, 3 being average, 4 being more than capable and 5 being expert): I’d like to think I’m a 3. Thankfully that’s never been tested.

Your normal dress: I work in an office, so it’s business-casual most of the week. I like dressing nicely, but I’m equally as happy in jeans and a T-shirt or sweatshirt.

How well you take rejection on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being temper tantrum, 2 being vindictive, 3 being average, 4 being can take it like a man, and 5 being like water off of a duck’s back): Handling rejection is another one of those things that’s a little tough to pin down. Humans are essentially pack animals, we’re wired to want to belong and be accepted. Though some of us have had more experience with it than others. That being said, I’d be between 2 and 3 on this one. I wouldn’t turn vindictive, though.

Languages known: I took American Sign Language and Spanish in school, but that of course was years ago. I did well in ASL, but was nowhere near conversational.

Cleanliness of your bathroom on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being a crime scene, 2 being messy, 3 being average, 4 being pretty clean and 5 being perfectly spotless): It’s going to have to be a 2 on this one. Definitely due for a once-over with a Magic Eraser.

How big is your circle of friends on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being nonexistent, 2 being very small, 3 being average, 4 being large, and 5 being a massive social network): I have a good number of acquaintances, but a very small circle of people I consider to be friends.

How would you rate your mental health on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being very poor, 2 being poor, 3 being average, 4 being good, and 5 being prefect): Looking back, even as recently as a year ago, I feel like I can accurately say I am a 3.

Opinions on the current Holmes family members ( Siger Holmes, Violet Holmes, Sherlock Holmes and Eurus Holmes): Eurus is easiest, so I’ll start with her. She reminds me of the exotic snakes at the zoo; fascinating to observe and study so long as there’s a layer of thick glass between us. Sherlock’s next easiest, he’s intriguing, funny (often without meaning to be) and someone whose company I dare say I’d enjoy. Siger’s pretty precious in my opinion, I imagine the two of us would get along well; and for the most part I’d say the same of Violet as long as I keep on her good side.

Please bold the following below that applies toward your submission:

Friendship

Mentorship

Relationship

Partnership

As to the question portion, I spent quite awhile reading and re-reading and pondering. I couldn’t answer them all, but I took a shot.

Question Portion:

1) If you ask me to prove it I wouldn’t be able to, but I would assume angle C is the sum of angles A and B since the vertex of all three begin in the lower left hand corner and the rays meet in the upper right hand corner (does that even make sense?)

2) I honestly have no idea how to solve that. Math has never been my strongest subject, so I tend to stick to what I know.

3) I’ve read through this one over and over and I still can’t make heads or tails of it. I fold.

4) I would say that shooting Mr. White first would be best. He never misses, while with Mr. Gray there’s the possibility that he will miss.

5) 5+5+5+5 ≠ 555

6) I’ve been puzzling over the man in the elevator, but I can’t figure out why he wouldn’t just take the elevator all the way to his floor. Unless he has claustrophobia. Though if he had claustrophobia, why would he take the elevator at all?

7) Well if the room has no door, you could simply flick all the switches one at a time until one of them turns on the light inside, then go in. If there is a door, then I’m not sure.

9) Honestly my first thought on this one is that if John and Mary live in the same city why is he mailing her a ring? They’re in love, odds are they know each other’s addresses. Wouldn’t it be simplest to meet and give it to her in person?

13) I’m going to say C.

19) Bronze and iron I think.

24) I have always seen the dress and blue and black.

Mycroft's answer:

Well, well Amanda, you seem to have filled out everything at length but I seem to have missed your current occupation on the form. I've gathered from other questions that you work in an office of some sort but I would be curious to know what sort of business you align yourself with. I find it very telling about a person with what kind of work they choose to pursue such as people that flock to retail have a tendency toward but the color and patterns while fast food members are more sight and smell. Very fun to decipher on a dull day in the office. While you do not address all the questions I see you still put forth the effort to answer what you could with some rationalization on your end of the spectrum and I can respect that. For any relationship whether it be romantic or platonic requires some form of communication in order to function effectively. That being said I find it very refreshing to find someone closer to my height as you will find that being over 6 foot does come with its disadvantages. Finding clothes, walking through crowds when you're trying to remain unseen, attempting to kiss someone well below my height and closer to my chest. I will say that biology has never been one of my stronger suits as opposed to Earth Sciences (since Sherlock was keen on exploring the great wilderness as a pirate and all) but would be amendable to glossing over one of your favorite bits of the subject over coffee or pastry at any time that you feel you are available. I cannot promise this would be a quick romance but what does it matter if we enjoy our company along the way?

Friendship: 7.91/10

Mentorship: 9.35/10

Relationship: 6.98/10
