If you could have one superpower, what power would you choose?

I'd choose the power to be better than everyone. Don't tell me that isn't a power, it is. To be the best at everything, that's what I want.

What qualities do you look for in your friends?

Loyalty is the most important thing for a friend to have. If you can't trust someone then they can't be your friend, can they? Anyone who would betray their friend is just... the lowest scum.

Do you think it's wrong to cheat on a test if there's no curve?  Why or why not?

Curve? What are you talking about? Cheating is just another way of being prepared. It doesn't matter how you get to where you are, what matters is that you get there.

Okay, good enough!    Our five entrants this time around are Jellineck, Stormcrow, BioKraze, Adrasteia, and Ragnarok.  Please send me your guesses!  Spectators, of course, are welcome to guess as well!

Cripes, I knew I should have said 'vermin' (or troublesome insects!) but that'd be cheating.

Yeah, I definitely should have guessed Nanami for Ragnarok, but somehow...I forgot about her. Saionji did occur to me, but it was hard for me to imagine him being so Machiavellian. Nanami does indeed seem obvious now though. Also, I did consider C-Ko for Jellineck...I'm not quite sure what tipped me toward Keiko instead...Mari never entered into my head, somehow she made very little impression on me from the show, so I don't think of her often. Great entries everybody, the ones that I didn't get right (which is almost everybody), I feel like I should have.

I can't wait for the next round!

Gah I'm terrible at guessing! This is extremely fun, I hope you start another, Satyreyes!

Congratulations on winning, Stormcrow. You have a very good sense of Shiori.

What is your worst habit?
You might say I'm a glutton, but not for punishment.

Are you following the election in America? If not, why not? If so, which candidate are you rooting for and why?
Such things don't fall under my realm of concerns and responsibilities. If you knew my idol Charles and his general theory on politics, you'd know exactly why this is one of the few things I keep my nose firmly away from.

What is your opinion of bottled water?
Good stuff when I can get it. Normally I go for tap water, as it's generally free to the public. I only drink bottled water when there's a goodly surplus of it lying around.

Of course, but only after the round is closed   Right now we only have one entry!  We can do better than that, right?

BUMP!

To speed things along, here's my own entry.  Naturally, I won't be eligible to win, but guessing me right is another way for y'all to get points.

What is your worst habit?
That's a bit of a personal question to lead off with, isn't it?  Well, sometimes, when I'm absolutely positive no one can hear me, I lock the door and... yell what I really think of the people who frustrate me.    I always feel so guilty about it afterwards, though.  I need to stop.

Are you following the election in America?  If not, why not?  If so, which candidate are you rooting for and why?
Rudy Giuliani, absolutely.  I think he's the most responsible candidate when it comes to terrorism, which is a dire threat to the order that civilization depends on.  The Islamists don't seem to be interested in Japan, but when America is terrorized the whole world suffers, whether we like it or not.

What is your opinion of bottled water?
I think with bottled water, you're paying for the brand as much as the liquid.  Certain brands have more cachet.  I have a friend who's honestly a bit of a snob about only drinking Evian.  I don't really want to get caught up in the brand warfare, so I mostly don't drink it.

What is your worst habit?
Tch, I don't have any bad habits, just plenty you'd think were so.

Are you following the election in America?  If not, why not?  If so, which candidate are you rooting for and why?
They're all the same to me. I think my parents follow all that stuff pretty closely, but I've never cared any about it, I have my own life to lead and it doesn't really involve foreign press bait.

What is your opinion of bottled water?
An absolute necessity during a busy night or an intense workout session. Even more so if they're the same thing at the time.

Whee! Let's see how many of us have our guesses right! I wonder, I wonder!

We... er... we have a situation.    All the answers are in.  Let's take a look!

BioKraze's bizarre answers didn't sound quite like anything we've heard any Utena character say.  The intellectual tone led three entrants to pick Miki, and the non sequitur answers led one contestant to a guess of C-ko.  Nice tries!  But as spectator Ragnarok picked up, the only character whose head those thoughts belong in was Chu Chu.  Last time Bio picked Mari.  Next, I imagine, will be the kangaroo.

Jellineck's entry was less about her answers than her tone.  Two saw Touga and one Saionji in her entry, picking up perhaps on "people have to be efficient and often cruel to achieve the best product for all."  The key, though, was the analytical detachment and focus on utility that her answers presented.  Giovanna and spectator NajiMinkin both broke the code: Jelli was Mikage.

My own entry -- which isn't eligible to win, just there as a way for y'all to score extra points, which turned out to be ironic, as we'll see in a minute -- tried to hit a note of innocence not totally undarkened by worldliness.  In spite of two guesses of Keiko, I must've done a pretty good job; Bio, Gio, Naji, and Ragnarok all divined that I was Miki.

Anthiena's answers painted an interesting picture.  Which character would smoke, is more interested in people than in events, and can wax poetic (and vaguely depressing) about bottled water?  One entrant said Mikage and one Anthy, both fascinating answers; you can totally see either of them with a cigarette between their lips.  But Bio, Naji, and Ragnarok all scored the intended answer, Juri.  Nice RP!

Lastly, Gio was enigmatic in her responses!  She did let a couple facts slip, though: she has parents more worldly than she is, she's independent, and she is perhaps a little egotistical.  Three guesses of Touga fit the facts, but weren't the intended answer; one guess of Wakaba tried to take things in a different direction.  The right answer, coming from Jellineck, was also the best: Gio was Kozue.

That makes the score:

BioKraze (Chu Chu): 3 - guessed me and Anthiena; guessed by Ragnarok
Jellineck (Mikage): 3 - guessed Gio; guessed by Gio and Naji
Anthiena (Juri): 3 - guessed by Bio, Naji, and Ragnarok
Gio (Kozue): 3 - guessed Jelli and me; guessed by Jelli
satyreyes (Miki/mod): 4 - guessed by Bio, Gio, Naji, and Ragnarok
NajiMinkin (spectator): 3 - guessed Jelli, Anthiena, and me
Ragnarok (spectator): 3 - guessed Bio, Anthiena, and me

So in summary, every single person who entered, both player and spectator, got a score of exactly three, with the sole exception of the one person who isn't eligible to win.    So here is our improvised tiebreaker.  It's open to all six contestants.

I want to hear Anthy's best answer to the question "Are you a virgin?  Why or why not?"

You have three days to post an answer to the thread.  At the end of that time, we'll take a vote, and whoever gets the most votes will win the game.  If there's a further tie, whoever posted first will win.

Good luck!

I'm just going to go for the simplest route possible.

Anthy gives a blank, sweet, and fully enigmatic smile.

"It grows back."
