Warhead - 100+ Questions

[Matthew Craft]

[Phew. I got an extra hour do to Daylight Savings, so I spent that hour (and then some) doing up the first set of questions. *Hand cramp* Owie!]


Mandatory Questions

1. What about you is heroic?

I gave up my normal life to come to the Institute so that I could learn to control my abilities. I suppose you could consider that heroic.

2. What about you is social? What do you like about people?

I get along well with just about everybody. I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad conversation in my life. Everybody’s different and I’m usually able to relate to them in one way or another.

3. Of what benefit could you be to group you're currently affiliated with/intend to be affiliated with?

If I ever join the X-Men, it’ll be because of my powers. Basically, I’m (going to be) an expert at blowing stuff up and giving our enemies radiation poisoning. The later might actually be more advantageous as it causes permanent, usually irreparable damage to organic tissue. In the Mansion, I’m known for my musical talents and my ability to talk to people. Some find them to be very therapeutic.

4. Why would/did you choose to join this group?

My sister’s already here at the Institute so I came for her, but ultimately I came because I found I had to. I powers are too dangerous for me to go untrained.

Personal Questions

5. What is your real, birth name? What name do you use?

I was born Matthew Brendon Craft. I use my first name, Matthew.

6. Do you have a nickname? What is it, and where did you get it?

Toni calls me Matty. I don’t like being called Matt. As for codenames, my unofficial name is Warhead. It’s got a nice ring to it if you can get by the negative connotation. Toni also came up with that one.

7. What do you look like?

I’m a big kid. I’m talking close to seven feet tall. I weigh around 350-375 pounds and people say I’m built like Pete Rasputin. I’ve got short brown hair that seems to look red in the light. Green eyes and a (really!) wide smile top it all off.

8. How do you dress most of the time?

Casual. Jeans, t-shirt, sneakers, you know, the usual.

9. How do you "dress up?"

I have a suit…or at least I did. I out grew it…again. In the mean time I use simple button-up dress shirts (I like green) and black pants.

10. How do you "dress down?"

Shorts or sweat pants and a tank-top or t-shirt.

11. What do you wear when you go to sleep?

Usually just a pair of shorts or boxers. I’ll wear a t-shirt if it’s cold out.

12. Do you wear any jewelry?

Does my watch count? Otherwise, no.

13. In your opinion, what is your best feature?

I like being tall. I consider it my best feature and my most noticeable feature.

14. What's your real birth date?

March 7th, 1991. Yes, I really am only 15. And yes, I know I’m tall for my age.

15. Where do you live? Describe it: Is it messy, neat, avant-garde, sparse, etc.?

My family home in Dover, New Jersey is a nice little quaint place. Your stereotypical family home, really. It’s in a rural part of town with friendly folks. Dad’s got a garden and his garage and Mom’s got this killer kitchen. We’re average and our house reflects that.

16. Do you own a car? Describe it.

Nope, I’m not old enough to drive. But someday I want my dad’s car. It’s a 1969 Datsun Fairlady done up in deep metallic blue. Please excuse my drooling.

17. What is your most prized mundane possession? Why do you value it so much?

I’ve got a picture of Toni and I together. It was taken when I was eight, right after she got out of the hospital. She had been in there for a couple of months during her ‘iron acclimatization’ faze. It was the first time she was able to walk since the whole thing had started. I suppose I like it because I hadn’t seen her that happy in a while.

18. What one word best describes you?

Capable. Give me something to do, whether physical or intellectual or both, and I guarantee you, I’ll find a way to do it.

Familial Questions
19. What was your family like?

Like I said above, we’re normal folk. Mom, Dad, Toni and me. We’re a really close-knit bunch. We call our parents every week to check in and see how things are going. It’s sad to hear how many kids have had problems with their families after this whole mutant thing. I could never imagine what it’d be like. Both of my parents happily accept the fact that both Toni and I are mutants. Our Grandpa though, he’s not as content with the whole thing, but I think he’s getting used to it.

20. Who was your father, and what was he like?

Jacob Gregory Craft. He’s a biologist, but he prefers the term zoologist. He likes to study animals, which may be why he accepted us being mutants so eagerly. Not that he considers us animals, but that he’s very familiar with evolution. He’s handy around the house and gardens and restores old cars as a hobby. Dad’s a pretty cool guy to get along with and he’s also the source of the tall genes in the family, standing at six foot three.

21. Who was your mother, and what was she like?

Alessa Rachele Cianfaglione. Obviously, she’s Italian. Mom’s pretty awesome. She’s a cop back home. Like the rest of her very Italian family, Mom can cook up a storm, which is probably where I get it from. She’s extremely open-minded and the first thing she did when she found out I was a mutant was shove some anti-pasta in my face, telling me that I was too thin. Gotta love Mom.

22. What was your parents marriage like? Were they married? Did they remain married?

This’ll be their 25th anniversary this year and they’re still going strong.

23. What were your siblings names? What were they like?

I’ve got one sister and that’s Toni. Her real name is Antonia Benton Craft, but everybody calls her Toni. She’s…erratic, in a good way. Very out-going and eccentric. I’m used to her by now, but she tends to scare a lot of other people with all of her funny remarks. I’m honestly surprised she’s not a stand-up comedian. But she likes her chemistry too much. She’s the science prof here at the Mansion and has a tendency to go over board and blow stuff up. Toni’s a mutant too though she’s in a completely different league than I am. She’s made of iron and weighs about half a ton and believe me when I say that she knows how to throw that weight around.

24. What's the worst thing one of your siblings ever did to you? What's the worst thing you've done to one of your siblings?

Toni and I are pretty good to each other now, but when we were younger we used to have our typical spats. She once beaned me in the back of the head with a chunk of ice. I ended up with a concussion and a three-inch scar across my scalp. I shoved her into a lake once, before we found out that she can’t swim as a mutant. She nearly drowned, but luckily Dad managed to get in there and help her out.

25. When's the last time you saw any member of your family? Where are they now?

I saw them at the end of the summer for a little vacation, but since then they’ve gone back home. Toni and I will be heading down there again for Thanksgiving.

26. Did you ever meet any other family members? Who were they? What did you think of them?

My Mom’s family scares the living daylights out of you if you’re not ready, but they’re a pretty cool bunch. I’ve got something like 45 first cousins and I’ve met them all. They all know that Toni and I are mutants and they don’t care. Dad comes from a dysfunctional family that doesn’t really give a damn about anyone else. He’s got three brothers and the last time I saw one of them was about two years ago. But there’s always Grandpa, and he’s better than my uncles. He wasn’t very happy when he found out that there were mutants in the family, but I think he’s getting used to it.

Childhood Questions
27. What is your first memory?

I guess that’d have to be my dad coming home from work, telling us about how there was a new position available in New Jersey. That eventually led to him applying and getting the job. After that, we moved from Seattle to Dover.

28. What was your favorite toy?

My kiddy (piano) keyboard. You know, then ones with all the colors and the buttons that make farm animal noises?

29. What was your favorite game?

Euchre. It’s always been Euchre. My family kills at cards.

30. Any non-family member adults stick out in your mind? Who were they, and how did you know them? Why do they stick out?

That’d be my doctor and the family ‘mutant advisor.’ Dr. Tobey Caine is actually a graduate of the Institute. He was the doctor that first figured out that Toni was a mutant and thanks to him, she’s here at the Mansion. He’s been a good family friend ever since Toni’s hospitalization and he was a big help when I found out I was a mutant.

31. Who was your best friend when you were growing up?

That’d be Geordie. He’s the son of my old piano teacher back home.

32. What is your fondest, childhood memory?

I remember having a huge family reunion type thing a couple of years ago with Mom’s family. Take 100 Italians (some of which I know are involved in the mafia), 50 bottles of wine and more food than you could ever hope to eat and what do you get? One big rockin’ party.

33. What is your worst childhood memory?

Childhood memory? That’d have to be when I shoved Toni into the lake. I thought I killed her.

[Matthew Craft]

[This is all I have thus far. I'll probably get around to the other set later.]

Adolescent Questions
34. How old were you when you went on your first date?

I was thirteen, and it didn’t last very long. To make a long story short, Mom criticized her for being a picky eater.

35. It is common for one's view of authority to develop in their adolescent years. What is your view of authority, and what event most affected it?

Mom’s a cop so I have a fair amount of respect for authority, but my opinion keeps changing as these mutant events keep emerging. I think that everyone deserves to be treated equally and with respect. After hearing about the whole ‘cure in the guns’ thing, I’ve lost my appreciation for the military’s involvement, but I’m not about to run off and join Magneto. I think that Xavier had a good thing going here, so I’m going to stick with it.

36. What were you like in high school? What "clique" did you best fit in with?

That’d have to be junior high school, Xavier’s is my high school. But in junior high I was, and still am, a music geek. But instead of getting teased and tossed around for being a geek, I gained respect because I was bigger than everybody else, including the teachers. So I defended all the other geeks.

37. What were your high school goals?

To graduate. Although I’m a genius level musician, I’m not nearly as smart in the other subjects. Just graduating would make my year.

38. Who was your idol when you were growing up? Who did you first fantasize about in your life?

Beethoven was my idol. That guy might have been deaf, but he’s a musical god. And I loved to fantasize about being a famous conductor, waving my little stick around.

39. What is your favorite memory from adolescence?

Coming here to the school because I knew that I’d get to hang around with my sister a lot more.

40. What is your worst memory from adolescence?

Finding out that I irradiated an unborn baby when my powers first went off. She was born with deformities and cancer. She’s not expected to make it past six months.

Occupational Questions
Can also be applied to *team* if X-Men/BH rather than to paid employment
41. Do you have a job? What is it? Do you like it?

I don’t have a paying job, but I run the music club here at the Institute. We sit around and talk about music and then we play. I’m really hoping to have our first concert pretty soon. And yes, I love it.

42. What is your boss or employer like? (Or publisher, or agent, or whatever.)

I suppose that Ms. Monroe is my boss, and she’s awesome. She lets me do pretty much whatever I want.

43. What are your co-workers like? Do you get along with them? Any in particular? Which ones don't you get along with?

We all get along great. I don’t have a problem with anybody at this point.

44. What is something you had to learn that you hated?

Math. Yuck.

45. Do you tend to save or spend your money? Why?

I’m a saver. Always have been, always will be.

Likes & Dislikes Questions
46. What hobbies do you have?

Music. Music is my life.

47. Who is your closest mundane friend? Describe them and how you relate to them.

That’d have to be Geordie. We get along great because we’re both into music. But he and I haven’t seen each other since I came here.

48. Who is your worst mundane enemy? Describe them and why you don't get along.

Anybody who has a thing against my sister has a thing against me.

49. What bands do you like? Do you even pay attention?

No bands, just composers. I like Mozart, Bach, Beethoven and just about any other classical composer you can think of.

5.0 What tape or CD hasn't left your player since your purchased it? Why?

A CD of music that I made myself. I’m very critical of my own work, so I keep going through it to pick out the flaws.

51. What song is "your song?" Why?

“The Prize of One’s Mind” by James Horner. It’s a piece that was written for the movie A Beautiful Mind.

52. What's been your favorite movie of all time?

Independence Day. I just love watching the aliens blow everything up.

53. Read any good books? What were they?

I’m a big fan of Anne McCaffery and her Dragons of Pern series. There’s about 20 of them now.

54. What do you watch on the Television?

House MD. That guy is awesome and he reminds me of Toni…

55. When it comes to mundane politics, do you care? If so, which way do you tend to vote? If not, why don't you care?

I don’t care about politics mainly because I don’t understand them.

56. What type of places do you hang out in with your mundane friends?

I wherever they want to hang out. I’m not picky by any means.

57. What type of places do you avoid like the plague?

Any places remotely related to math.

58. What annoys you more than anything else?

Picky eaters, especially when I made their food. Some people just don’t have any respect.

59. What would be the perfect gift for you?

A new piano. I think I’ve played my old one to death by now.

60. What's the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?

I have this ability to take an image and turn it into music. So it’s not a matter of the most beautiful thing I’ve seen, it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve heard. I made a piece for one of the garden paintings that’s hung up down by the library. Definitely one of the more beautiful things I’ve converted into music.

61. What time of day is your favorite?

Sunset. Everything gets nice and quiet, the perfect time for daydreaming.

62. What kind of weather is your favorite?

Bright and sunny weather. I love to lay out and watch the clouds float by.

63. What is your favorite food? What is your least favorite food?

Mom makes a mean brushetta. Simple, I know, but it’s amazing. She also makes some weird thing with eggplant. That one’s not so good.

64. What is your favorite drink? (Coffee, Coke, Juice, Beer, Wine, etc.)

I drink a lot of milk because I’m a growing boy.

65. What's your favorite animal? Why?

One of the most musical critters on the planet are humpback whales. I love listening to tapes of their different calls.

66. Do you have any pets? Do you want any pets? What kind?

We have a retired police dog back home. His name it Dutch and he’s an eight year-old German Sheppard. When I get older and move out on my own I’m definitely going to own a dog and it’ll have to be a big dog.

67. What do you find most relaxing? (Not as in stress relief, but as something that actually calms you down.)

Playing my piano always calms my nerves.

68. What habit that others have annoys you most?

A lot of people love to sing and whistle and hum. Now I support the exploration of music, but I have this tuning fork for an ear and any note even slightly off key really grinds on me.

69. What kind of things embarrass you? Why?

Mom and Toni love to ask me about girls. I get nervous around girls sometimes, so if you ever see my face turn bright red, that’s usually why. I’m pretty good most of the time though.

70. What don't you like about yourself?

I’m a perfectionist when it comes to music, but I should learn to take it easy on myself. I have to remember that I hear things in music that most other people don’t.

71. How would you like to look?

I’m pretty content with my image right now. I don’t think I need to change anything.

[Matthew Craft]

Sex and Intimacy Questions


72. Would you consider yourself straight, gay, bi, or something else? Why?

I’m pretty sure I’m straight. I mean, I’d know if I wasn’t right?

72. Who was the first person you had sex with? When did it happen? What was it like? How well did it go?

I’m 15…I haven’t done anything like that yet.

74. Have you ever had a same-sex experience? Who with, what was it like, and how did it go?

Nope…at least, I don’t think I haven’t. There was a guy at school that always used to wink at me. Does that count?

75. What is your deepest, most well-hidden sexual fantasy? Would you ever try it?

I don’t think I have one. But damn, Angelina Jolie’s the looker isn’t she? If I had a fantasy, she’d definitely be in it.

76. What was the wildest thing you've ever done, sexually? Who was it with and when did it happen?

Me = All alone

77. Is there any sexual activity that you enjoy and/or practice regularly that can be considered non-standard? (Bondage, Fantasy Play, etc.) Why do you like it?

Should I ask what those mean? Or will Toni scar me for life with an answer that I really didn’t need to know?

78. Is there any sexual activity that you will not, under any circumstances, do?

These questions aren’t getting any easier are they? But to answer the question, I dunno. How bad can it get?

79. Do you currently have a lover? What is their name, and what is your relationship like? What are they like? Why are you attracted to them?

I don’t have a ‘lover’ right now. (I’m going to assume that lover means girlfriend). But I am attracted to someone. Not telling who!

80. What is the perfect romantic date?

I’d love to serenade my special someone, preferably by the ocean (or lake, which ever’s more convenient).

81. Describe the perfect romantic partner for you.

Someone who’s as into music as I am. She has to be able to defend herself and willing to put forth whatever it takes. A sense of humor is also vitally important; if she can’t laugh, I don’t want anything to do with her. And she also has to be willing to accept me for who and what I am (an immunity to radiation probably wouldn’t hurt either).

82. Do you ever want to get married and have children? When do you see this happening?

Of course I do. I imagine I’ll get married in my twenties and then have kids in my early thirties, just like my parents did. Two kids are preferable, but the more the merrier. Mutant kids would be cool too.

83. What is more important - sex or intimacy? Why?

I haevn’t had enough experience in either to answer this question properly, but I’m going to say intimacy. Sex, I’m sure, is great, but it’s not the be all and end all of a relationship. What happens when we get old and sex isn’t really an option any more? I’m sure intimacy can make for it.

84. What was your most recent relationship like? Who was it with? (Does not need to be sexual, merely romantic.)

I dated a girl back home, and while it was (very) short, it was a blast. We really connected, but I had to cut it short when I came here.

85. What's the worst thing you've done to someone you loved?

Let her meet my mom.

[Matthew Craft]

Drug & Alcohol Questions


86. How old were you when you first got drunk? What was the experience like?
Did anything good come out of it? Did anything bad come out of it?

I’ve had a few drinks before, but I’m under the impression it’ll take a lot to get me drunk.

87. Do you drink on any kind of regular basis?

I usually just have a glass of wine with the odd meal when I’m at home. It’s an Italian thing.

88. What kind of alcohol do you prefer?

A good merlot is always great.

89. Have you ever tried any other kind of "mood altering" substance? Which one(s)? What did you think of each?

No. My mom’s a cop and my dog’s a retired police dog that was used to find illegal drugs, so even if I wanted to, I’d never get away with it. My mom may be short, but she scares the hell out of me.

90. What do you think of drugs and alcohol? Are there any people should not do? Why or why not?

Allcohol is great when taken in moderation (and maybe a bit excessively when you need to deal with 100 Italians…), but I do not support the illegal use of drugs.

[Matthew Craft]

Morality Questions


91. What one act in your past are you most ashamed of? What one act in your past are you most proud of?

I made fun of a friend behind their back once. I said some really nasty things that were inappropriate. In the end they found out and that was the end of our friendship. I don’t blame them, I would have done the same thing.

I’m proud of the fact that I’m a good brother (though Toni sometimes doesn’t see it that way) I know of very few people that watch out for their siblings as much as I do.

92. Have you ever been in an argument before? Over what, with who, and who won?

Toni and I bicker all the time, and she always wins. I couldn’t argue my way out of a wet paper bag.

93. Have you ever been in a physical fight before? Over what, with who, and who won?

Some kid at school made a dirty remark about Toni being a mutant. I only hit him once, but he didn’t get back up (that was before I realized my own strength). I ended up getting suspended for a week, but when my parents found out, they congratulated me. It was strange…

94. What do you feel most strongly about?

Everybody knows the answer to this one. I feel strongly about my family and I’ll defend them at any cost. That’s why you see me hanging around with my sister a lot; she’s the only family I have here at the mansion.

95. What do you pretend to feel strongly about, just to impress people?

I don’t pretend anything, but there are a few things that I’m less concerned with than I should be…like sports (a guy my size has to be interested in sports…or so I’ve been told).

96. What trait do you find most admirable, and how often do you find it?

A sense of humor definitely tops the list. That’s probably because of my sister, who has the wickedest sense of humor around. She’s got such a great sense of humor and can find the good side to anything. I love people with that type of outlook on life.

97. Is there anything you think should not be incorporated into the media or art (sex, violence, greed, etc.,)? If so, what and why, and if not, why not?

Nah, people have the ability to not look at it. Let them censor themselves.

98. Do you have any feelings in general that you are disturbed by? What are they? Why do they disturb you?

My own powers disturb me. Sure I’ve got them more or less under control, but that doesn’t make them any less dangerous. Plus someone once theorized that I’m only using a fraction of power. They told me that someday I may be able to harness all my energy and blow it in one big bang. I’m talking a huge nuclear bomb. That scares the hell out of me.

99. What is your religious view of things? What religion, if any, do you call your own?

I’m a Darwinist. I believe in evolution, and I believe that I evolved into a nuclear power plant…as odd as that sounds.

100. Do you think the future is hopeful? Why?

I certainly hope so. With people like Dr. McCoy on our side, I’m sure we can make the best possible future for both humans and mutants alike.

101. Is an ounce of prevention really worth a pound of cure? Which is more valuable? Why do you feel this way?

Prevention? What are we trying to prevent? The birth of mutants or the corruption of mutants? The cure should be destroyed, it’s not fair to us. I think that preventing the corruption of mutants is vital. Treat us with as much respect as you would give any human and most of us will be fine.

102. What's the worst thing that can be done to another person? Why?

Losing the people you love and trust is definitely the worst. I don’t think I could live after that.

103. What's the worst thing you could actually do to someone you hated?

Wish anything bad upon their loved ones. Even the worst of the worst love. To take that away from them is outright cruel.

104. Are you a better leader or follower? Why do you think that? If you think the whole leader-follower archetype is a crock of shit, say so, and explain why?

Follower, for sure. The responsibility for others is something that I shouldn’t be trusted with. But when it comes to fighting, let me do my own thing, I know what’ll put others in danger and what won’t.

105. What is your responsibility to the world, if any? Why do you think that?

To protect those who have a hard time protecting themselves (or in Toni’s case, protecting those that can and will protect themselves, no matter how much they complain about it).

106. Do you think redemption is possible? If so, can anyone be redeemed, or are there only certain circumstances that can be? If not, why do you think nothing can redeem itself?

Of course. They may not be able to right their wrongs, but as long as they realize what they did and make the conscious effort to change they can be redeemed.

107. Is it okay for you to cry? When was the last time you cried?

Of course it’s okay. Like they say, it takes a big guy to cry. But I honestly can’t remember the last time I did.

108. What do you think is wrong with MOST people, overall?

I think most people are too aware of themselves. They’re too aware of what they want and too determined to get it. I think we all just need to relax for a while.

[Matthew Craft]

Post-Supernatural Awareness Questions



109. When did you go through whatever made you supernatural? What was it like (in your opinion)?

It scared me shitless to be totally truthful. There was an accident in the middle of my hometown involving a tractor-trailer and my school bus. I was the only one left uninjured, which in itself was pretty amazing, given the circumstances. Then I pulled open the back end of the bus like it was a sardine can, and that’s when I started getting freaked. But to top it all off, I ended up blowing the tractor trailer 300 feet into the air and irradiated 65 people in the process. Now that was nuts.

110. What do you think now of being supernatural? Is it cool, or have you been screwed?

It’s awesome being as strong and as durable as I am, but my radiation powers are really freaky. I irradiated 65 people the first time my powers went off. 11 of them suffer from cancer now, including one newborn that’s not expected to survive. That was 65 people exposed to a split-second blast. To be able to hurt that many people in such a short period of time is horrifying. Makes me wonder what’ll happen the next time my powers go off involuntarily.


111. Do you have a mentor? Who are they? How did you become their student?

He’s a good friend of the family, Dr. Tobey Caine. It was him that discovered my sister was a mutant and guided her through the adjustment fazes. He’s done a lot for my family and he was more that willing to help me out when I manifested my powers. Tobey’s a pretty cool guy; I doubt I’d be here if it wasn’t for him.

112. Think of a major event that happened during your training/initiation. What was it?

Any new advancement in controlling my powers is a major event. But the biggest, most exciting event was when I actually created and controlled my first ever radiation bomb. You have no idea how good it felt to be able to actually sit there and look at the thing without worrying about it going off in my face.

113. What is something you had to learn during your training that you hated? Why did you hate it?

The science behind my mutation. I’m a musician. I don’t do math or science. That’s Toni’s department.

[Matthew Craft]

Miscellaneous Questions


114. What is the thing that has frightened you most? Do you think there is anything out there that's scarier than that? What do you think that would be?

Watching my sister almost drown was definitely the most fearful moment of my life. But is there anything scarier? I don’t know, actually losing on of my family members is a horrifying thought. But I think I would be at a complete loss if Toni decided to switch teams. If I had to fight her, she’d beat me into the ground because I couldn’t do anything to her, I wouldn’t bring myself to do it. So yeah, I suppose that my greatest fear is having those I love turned against me.

115. Has anyone or anything you've ever cared about died? How did you feel about it? What happened?

My grandmother died about a year before Toni came out of the mutant closet. I think that if she were still around, my grandfather would have been more willing to accept Toni and I. She was always open minded and caring. I miss her every day.

116. What was the worst injury you've ever received? How did it happen?

Remember that concussion I talked about earlier? The one I got when Toni beaned me in the head with a piece of ice? Yeah, that’s the worst I’ve ever gotten. It’s not that I haven’t been injured since then, it’s that I’ve gotten a lot tougher.

117. How ticklish are you? Where are you ticklish?

Outrageously ticklish. Mainly it’s my feet that are sensitive, but you can get me around the stomach too.

118. What is your current long term goal?

I want to be involved in music, no matter what. I’m thinking orchestra and composing, but who knows, I’d be just as happy playing in a bar.

119. What is your current short term goal?

To master my powers. They’re a little too closely associated with my emotions right now, so if you ever see my hands sparking, it means that I’m either pissed off or really excited. Beware of the first one.

120. Do you have any bad habits? If so, what are they, and do you plan to get rid of them?

None that I can think of, but I’m sure Toni could come up with a few if you asked her.

121. If you were a mundane person, what would you do with your life? What occupation would you want, and how would you spend all your time?

You mean if I didn’t have my mutation? Hopefully I’d still have my music. If not, then I’d probably be a professional wrestler or something…or in the army. I bet they like the big kids in the army.

122. What time period do you wish you had lived in? Why? (Looking at this as an attempt to change history doesn't count.) What appeals to you about this era?

Around the time of the world’s truly great composers. Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, I’d have loved to have seen them all in action.

123. How private of a person are you? Why?

I’m more private than my sister, but not so much that I’m in my room all the time. I like to get out there and mingle. I don’t mind most personal questions and conversations, I’m good like that.

124. If you were to gain an obscenely large sum of money (via an inheritance, a lawsuit, a lottery, or anything else) what would you do with it?

I’ve got over 100 Italian relatives, so I’d be broken up amongst them, and some for my grandfather on the other side of the family.

125. What would you wish for if you found a genie?

In the fashion of Miss Congeniality; ‘World peace!’ No really, that’s what I want. If it means that mutants don’t have to worry about the humans coming to get them—and vice versa—then yeah, that’s what I want.

126. What do you do when you are bored?

I play the piano, either for practice or creating another musical piece. Sometimes, if people want, I can play for them too.

127. What is the most frightening potential handicap or disfigurement you can conceive of? What makes it so frightening?

The loss of one’s arms. That’d be the end of me I’m afraid. Not only could I not function normally, but playing my flute’d be awfully hard to do. Almost makes me sick just imagining it.
