Hello, everyone, my name is Anvil, and I’m “guiding” you through this post. Jen was supposed to do it, but she’s pretty busy at the moment, so she asked me to take over. C.B. says to tell you: Be forewarned that there may be SPOILERS in this post… most of them will be in white text, which you can highlight to read if you wish. Whatever that means. So let’s get on to the questions.
Albany
Sarahtps: What’s the best thing about being twins? The worst? Same with the mind connection thing? Being twins: Having someone who knows you really well and who’s with you all the time. That’s the best and the worst thing. Mind connection… there are a lot of good things, but I know the worst thing is having trouble keeping a secret, even if it’s just like a surprise party or something.
What’s your favorite board game? I’m not a big fan of board games. I prefer Solitaire. But if I had to pick one… Sorry, maybe?
Madeline: How did you find out about your telepathic abilities? It was a very traumatic moment when we were three. Not my favorite memory to recount…
Sarah: What is your favorite season? I like winter, mostly because it’s a great time to curl up with a book. And winter break.
Brooklyn
Sarahtps: What’s the best thing about being twins? The worst? Same with the mind connection thing? I love being able to know Albany really well, but sometimes she gets annoyed with me. Our mind connection is fun… it’s nice to be able to talk silently. The worst thing is when our nightmares spill over into each other’s heads. Not fun.
What’s your favorite board game? Monopoly! It provides lots of time for talking and hanging out, and I usually win.
Madeline: How did you find out about your telepathic abilities? It’s always been hard for me to remember, Albany says I blocked out the memory. But I know it was when we were about three, and it was really weird.
Sarah: What is your favorite season? Definitely spring! I love when everything is new and fresh, especially with happily chirping birds and bright flowers!
Jen/Data
Deborah: What is your favorite color? Probably a silvery gray. Pretty but kind of practical.
What is your opinion on penguins? The only penguin I actually like is Finch as a penguin.
If you could have a different superpower, what would it be? Something more useful in a fight, like energy manipulation. I’m particularly fond of metal manipulation. It has quite a few practical applications.
Sarahtps: If you could go back in time and give your younger self one piece of advice, what would you tell her? There are a few places in time I’d like to go just to watch again… but I’d tell my younger self to please, please stay away from computers. Never touch.
Sarah: What situation, event, or person has shaped you and your personality the most? My power. I’d be a completely different person without all of the knowledge I’ve gathered, much less the experiences and situations my power has gotten me into.
Blaze
Deborah: Do you live on caffeine, sugar, and donuts? I’d like to say yes, but then I’d be lying. I have to have pizza, too.
What was Canberra and why wasn’t it your fault? That was… a mission that went wrong. Badly wrong. And it was my fault, I just prefer to pretend it’s not. Can we move on?
Which of your two superpowers do you like more? Light manipulation. Teleporting is fun, but honestly, light manipulation is really useful. And good for pranking.
How can you always tell Albany and Brooklyn apart? I’m a light manipulator. I can put nametags on them that only I can see, or I can find something that’s different about them just by making the light reflect differently. Besides, their personalities are way different.
Can you give us a HINT about your name like a letter or something? My name? Oh, that’s easy. John Jacob Jingleheimer Smith.
Sarahtps: What’s your real name? Billy Bob Joe. Or not.
What’s your favorite food? You’re asking me to decide what my favorite food is? How could you be so cruel! Let’s just go with donuts.
If you could be a character in the Star Wars universe, either a canon one or one you made up, who would you want to be? Totally Han. I mean, he has a wookie friend and an awesome ship.
Jemma: What is the best prank you’ve ever pulled? Ah, it was at school. The prank involved three chickens, a container of silly string, a water gun filled with grape juice, and the math teacher’s toupee. They never saw it coming.
Madeline: How did you get into IDIA? Recruited by Jen when I was a lot younger… but that’s a really long story for another time.
Sarah: What superpower do you wish you could have? Honestly, I love the superpower I have now. But any other one… maybe telekinesis. It’s really useful, and I could fly.
Hann: Who was your first crush/love interest? Cynthia Rogers in kindergarten. It didn’t last long.
Maddie
Sarahtps: What was your first thought on waking up without your memories? I’m pretty sure I was wondering where I was, and why my head felt kind of funny. But that was a crazy moment, so it’s all really mixed up in my head.
Also, can I hug you? Um… yes?
If you were a color, what color would you be? Red! It’s my favorite color. I love how bright and bold it is.
Anvil
Deborah: Can I have your cookie recipe? Possibly. Only if I think you can do it justice, though. How well can you cook?
How are you so awesome? Umm… I’m not? If you think I am, I can give you the recipe: a dash of childhood trauma, a few cups of bad influences, and a sprinkle of saving grace and second chances.
May I please hug you? *stands there stiffly while you hug him*
What is your opinion on Blaze? He’s okay. He could be taken down a few pegs, though, and sometimes his mouth gets him into trouble.
Alyssa: What is your favorite type of cookie? I love most cookies, but I really enjoy a good white chocolate macadamia nut. Classic Snickerdoodles are good, too.
Ezra
Are you and Denver getting married someday? We’re still pretty young, but I’m certainly not opposed to the idea for the future. My parents married young as well.
Powergirl: What’s your favorite thing about IDIA? Knowing I’m not alone. I mean, I’ve still yet to make any close friends…but it’s nice being among people like me! And I’ve always wanted to help people, so that’s probably on the same level for me.
Denver
Sarahtps: What’s your ideal date night? Movie and pizza, with a walk in the park afterwards. Or, if it’s winter, going ice skating. We haven’t gotten to do that yet.
Are you and Ezra getting married someday? Um… Maybe? I don’t know… that’s… awkward… why would you ask that?
Random
Sarahtps: You (Albany, Brooklyn, Jen, Blaze, and Maddie) are, as a group, spontaneously transported to an unknown fantasy world. What do you do? (Blaze’s powers don’t work to teleport you all back, for the record, though he can teleport you anywhere within that world.) (Jen wishes to answer this question:) I would be in charge, of course. Albany and Brooklyn would help Maddie build a shelter and gather fruit, while Blaze and I explore the island, and Blaze uses his powers to frighten animals away. We would survive long enough to build a raft or contact someone for help. Or build something sturdy that Maddie could use to fly us away.
And that is all for the Q&A, finally. I hope you enjoyed it, and if you did, please consider buying the book on Amazon, as a paperback or Kindle copy, or buy it in the CreateSpace estore. And add it on Goodreads if you’d like. Have fun. Anvil out.
THAT. WAS. AWESOME. XD
@Anvil: Thanks for hosting it! You did a GREAT job. 😀
@Albany: Sorry is the BEST board game of ever! *highfives* Great, now I want to know the story of when you first discovered it… >.>
@Brooklyn: Nightmare sharing? O_O OUCH.
@Jen: FINCH AS A PENGUIN? THAT WOULD BE SO ADORBZ I MUST SEE THIS. Computers… wut? o.o
@Blaze: YOU TEASE. XD *still wants to know your name* I hadn’t thought of that about telling them apart… Pizza! Nice. 😀 *still wants to know about Canberra and hopes it and several other backstory things show up in later books* THAT PRANK. I’M DYING. XDDD
@Maddie: Red… I can totally see that!
@Anvil again: I can cook really well when I have a recipe that’s good! 😀 *whispers*I’m sorrybutyou’restillawesome*whispers* Haha! Blaze’s mouth can definitely get him into trouble. XD
@C.B.: THIS WAS SO FUUUUUN. I adored it. 😀 I’m also glad I got to hug Anvil. ^_^ Poor guy. ❤ Also I lost it over Denver's reaction to the marriage question because his answer was perfect and so Denver. XD Wow, Blaze would totally be useful in a situation like that. O_O Aaand I'm more curious than ever about all these characters' backstories. XD Well played. 😉 ANYWAYS EEEK THIS WAS AN AWESOME POST THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT AND I LOVE ALL THE CHARRIES AND THEIR ANSWERS. ^_^

Oh, and I don’t know if you wanted me to go through and reply to all of those… but I will tell you that Jen’s greatest fear is accidentally touching a computer. It’s why she uses a wireless keyboard and mouse. 😉

I loved reading this post and everyone’s answers! And yay, I got to hug Maddie. xD
By the way, I’m slightly confused why Jen has to stay away from computers? Will that be explained in the book? Or can you tell me now?

It’ll probably be explained in the book, but I can also tell you now. 🙂 It’s mostly connected to the internet. There’s so much info on the internet that the sudden inflow would overwhelm her, make her pass out at the very least, possibly even kill her. So… no computers.

You’re welcome! 🙂 When she was in the roleplaying/character development stage, I had her accidentally touch Vision from the Avengers… that was a mistake…

Oh yes. Luckily (or unluckily?) there’s enough information in the internet that even with her power’s capabilities, it would take a while for all of the info to come in, so she’ll be okay if she takes her hand off of them quickly enough. 🙂
