Subject: Since everyone seems to like surveys around here, I've got one for you!
Warnings: Possible talk of canon deaths?

I've noticed that people around here like surveys and I thought I'd join in on making one! Some of you may know that our first year anniversary of our arrival here in this world is coming up real soon. Like two weeks - give or take a few days. So I thought I'd see who else has been here as long as I have! I feel like I've seen at least most of the "veterans" once or twice and if we haven't talked yet:

Hi, I'm Nimona!

Right... the survey! Feel free to answer anonymously!

1. How long have you been here?
2. Are there other people from your world here? (Optional: How many?)
3. Have there been people from your world that have already gone home? (Optional: How long were they here and how many?)
4. What was your first "event" in this world?
5. What's been your favorite "event" so far?
6. Are you here to live out the rest of your life, or are you looking for a way home? (Optional: Why?)

I'll answer it first!

1. 16 days away from a year.
2. Nope!
3. Like briefly one person on new arrival day and then never again.
4. Ghoul's Moon.
5. Same answer as above. It was pretty fun fighting all the undead. I guess the Masquerade Ball was pretty okay, too.
6. Maybe? I dunno, this world is a lot better for me than my own.

Now it's your turn!

[ Glad to know he laughed at that one. ]

Boom for the thunder, shocka for the lightning, and cap is short for captain. It has another meaning, but it's not important here.

[Okay, he gets the "boom" now, but "shocka"? He's saying it out loud...a few times... "Shock"? Is that what it is? Definitely has a bit of a flair to it if a bit odd.]

Now you can't say that and not tell me. What's the other meaning?

They're puns for a pair of sisters who also happen to be amaziiiiing singers. Taka Boom and Chaka Khan.

I mean, I could also see Boom Shocka as like a secret handshake. Where you pound fists for the Boom and pull it away with spirit fingers for the Shocka - you know, like you're doing sparkle fingers.

😈

You're not trying to imply you want to do a special "handshake" now, are you? Might be a much even for me.

I know you're getting old, but that's why you have to keep moving. Do some stretches, limber up, try yoga, do special handshakes.

Make sure your joints don't lock up and all.

I do all of that just fine, thank you. The only thing something of that nature would do is strain my dignity.

[Getting a bit boomer here—]

💔

I'd think your dignity would take a bigger hit if you don't do special handshakes with one of your favorite Nimonas. I will change into the cutest creature and give you the biggest, saddest doe eyes known to animalkind.
