[Q+A] The Question Game...

[skinstealer]

welcome...to the question game. we've played this on discord MANY times, and now it is time to bring it to the forums. the name of the game is simple: team members can be asked questions about their characters, and the questions will be answered. some team members like to answer with just one character, some like to answer one question with multiple. here are the rules.

1) a team member can walk in and say "i am answering questions about [x]." it can be a group of characters, it can be any of their characters, it could be specific ones. team members can also pick randomly, or do it however they want. the main takeaway is: a team member will saunter in and announce a session of the game is beginning, and who they are answering questions for.

2) anyone else can ask questions at this point, team member, audience member, or otherwise. keep your questions SFW for now (though we will probably open a NSFW question game thread eventually). it's up to you what you want to ask, but the team member(s) may request specific things. if multiple team members have a session open, please write down who the questions are for specifically (though multiple/all are fine). team members do not have to answer all questions.

3) have fun, and feel free to leave commentary/discussion/follow up stuff as well! this is a discussion thread, after all!




and now the ultimate blogging question game begins...we'll start

TEAM MEMBER: ringor mortis
CHARACTERS: Random Rin TCPs
TOPIC: Anything Goes

[MarxzVulpez]

I know there's only one going on right now but I'll still specify:

Rin: What's something they like about their partner(s) if they have one (or multiple). if not, even if it's something small, What's something they like about themself?

[skinstealer]

>What's something they like about their partner(s) if they have one (or multiple). if not, even if it's something small, What's something they like about themself?

only one of these TCPs has canon partners so we will work with both questions

ABIGAIL, no project- i feel like abigail has many weird lovers across her travels but no consistent partners. she's a rambler she's a mover she's a shaker and she does NOT commit. she likes people who are willing to be just as flexible and don't mind things being short-lived and spontaneous. as for what she likes about herself, pretty much anything if you ask her to her face. she's very confident.

REFILL, no project- refill is a very excitable person who needs someone to keep up with her energy, but her worries can be a bit much for people sometimes...as for what she likes about herself, she enjoys the art she makes and the ideas she uses for that art.

UNNAMED JELLYFISH TCP, no project- no partner, aroace. it likes that it's a good listener, even if it feels like it isn't able to help in other ways.

RAGGEDY, FriendZoo/Felid Factor- no partner but secretly really really Really wants one someday. would really like someone who can endure The Extreme Amounts Of Toy And Virtual Pet-Based Autism he has. a lot of these TCPs are about matching energy honestly but yknow, that can be important to a lot of people. he likes his creative streak!

ALIAS, Felid Factor/FriendZoo- has two partners, foil/tricky and remmy. he really loves that remmy is a big sweetheart, and while it can be overwhelming for him at times, he really likes how foil pushes him into new territory and adventures...most of the time. he doesn't have a whole lot he likes about himself, but if you asked him genuinely he'd probably mutter something about work ethic.

[skinstealer]

new round!

TEAM MEMBER: tiffany mortis
CHARACTERS: any of tiffany's characters (will probably use all, there are 5)
TOPIC: anything goes!

[skinstealer]

another round...will be going for a while! algor has a pretty decently sized pool, so get hype.

TEAM MEMBER: Algor Mortis
CHARACTERS: Random Algor Characters
TOPIC: Anything Goes

[skinstealer]

new round now that we're pulling ourselves out of the muck

TEAM MEMBER: algor + cocoa mortis
CHARACTERS: Random Characters (for both)
TOPIC: Anything Goes

ask us things and you will receive

[Shifter55]

How would any of your characters react to having to walk around a city district for the day?

[skinstealer]

>How would any of your characters react to having to walk around a city district for the day?

AUTOMATON, Algor's, from Supercyber- this is already automaton's daily life, seeing as it makes its living as part of a street gang that roams around one of the infinite digital cities in supercyber itself. still, it has places where it prefers to go and others it doesn't- personally, it seems to veer more towards where people work on vehicles and tech. it likes the smell of oil and all of the noise, even if database (its link) gets irritated by the audio clutter.

SOFTIE, Cocoa's, from Kaleidoclub (Toybox System)- softie doesn't front much when it comes to the more external toybox members, but would probably linger around shopping districts and look in all the windows. if there was an animal cafe, they would probably be tempted- but feel bad about spending money on entry, and just look from the outside in. 

WHISK, Cocoa's, no project- hmm. we don't have a lot down for whisk yet outside of a concept of what her whole Situation™ is and we don't want to spoil too much of that. but...we think she would probably end up in a place full of strange and mysterious things to see, and maybe get into a bit of trouble. she's prone to wandering and getting lost, so for her sake, i hope she has some kind of map or a phone.

MARSHMALLOW, Cocoa's, Assisted Living Project That Needs A Real Name- marshmallow already lives in a big city, haven! she would get up to huge trouble for sure, but more on purpose than whisk. her whole reason for leaving the facility is to cause problems on purpose, so i wouldnt be surprised if she was going out to somewhere she can get a rise out of people easily or get up to shit on a "cartoonish antagonist" sort of level. stealing candy from newly spawned TCPs in the park or something.

BOBBIN PIN, Algor's, Felid Factor-  bobbin has never left their home. if presented with the ability to actually go outside, away from their mother, they would be completely overwhelmed regardless of whether it'd be a city district or somewhere more isolated. all the same, they would probably get caught up in wandering, and return home with interesting stories.

[skinstealer]

ho ho ho...merry christmas!

it is time for festive questions from the entire mortis gang! we'll pull a name and then a character. enjoy!

TEAM MEMBER: all of the mortises

- How would they celebrate new years?
- If they had to pick a weapon to defend themself against someone, what would they pick?

[skinstealer]

- If they were given a blank piece of paper and a pen what would they draw? Bonus if you want: How well would the do?

CROSS- monsters, clearly. she isn't super skilled at drawing but is technically skilled enough to do fashion sketches, so maybe a blend of the two? ideas for costumes, maybe...

LAURIE- probably posters for upcoming events. he's not the most technically skilled but the spirit is so prominent that everyone loves it

MIASMA- saucy drawings of him and his partners to be sent in letters, they are crude but very effective and heartfelt

SCOUT- wildlife drawings, he'd most likely want to be out in the field for this. he wants to make a field guide of monsters someday, and puts a lot of care into this stuff

MARLOWE- flowers, lace, abstract patterns. very skilled.
 

---

- what is their morning routine?

MIASMA- wake up, put on makeup, down a shake, see what needs to be done for errands for laurie

LAURIE- wake up, spend like an hour getting dressed, eat breakfast at the cafe before it officially opens, spend as much time as he can warrant looking over paperwork and organizing people in the network's duties

FATALE- sleep in, roll out of bed, lament the fact that her system doesnt have any nice fancy clothing to wear, get as far away from tim as possible and forget to eat breakfast

MARLOWE- wake up, dress himself up but have trouble deciding outfits (jesus christ we rolled all of the fashion gays), harass featherweight about what he should wear, contact laurie about what needs to be done for errands and outings

CINDI- wake up, get some early morning exercise in (punching bag, jogging on her treadmill, stretches), pick out an easy outfit, eat some granola bars and go to work
 

---

- How would they celebrate new years?

DEVO- probably stay in and try not to be bothered by fireworks and partying. might invite tim over to cuddle and maybe celebrate a little.

ERSON (hehehe future character)- On Duty, absolutely on duty at his job as a field medic. probably DIRECTLY at the laurie's new years party so that he can patch up any drunk/high partygoers who trip and fall or some shit

CROSS- invite polka for a dance and feel better having someone there to share this with

POLKA- spend time thinking a lot. but also, dancing with cross

SADDLER- throwing the world's worst new year's party with a lot of politician and high roller "friends". extremely nasty shit ensues.

---

- If they had to pick a weapon to defend themself against someone, what would they pick?

DEVO- knife. kitchen knife, every time. is it the best knife? absolutely not. is it what he and the other bears are most skilled with? yes, and with the narrative behind every swing, that counts a lot.
 
CINDI- fists- or hooves, i guess.

TIM- well, as seen in the project, gun was his first pick, but he's a sword guy now.

ERSON- owns a scifi ray gun. does not like to shoot people, but will if he has to protect patients on the job, or himself/his other medic colleague.

KATIE- big amy rose style hammer
 

---

- And a joke one: Would they watch hallmark christmas movies? Hate watching counts.

CROSSBONE- yes, but hate watch with the rest of the plaything party (not sure if roulette would come but the offer is there)

KATIE- yes, thinks theyre corny but says "it gets you into the spirit!"

"MONSTER BEAR"- Absolutely Not. he would dissociate immediately, especially if "family" is a theme. would much rather watch a horror movie.

MIASMA- yes, hate watch. makes a watchh party over it

MARLOWE- also hate watches, featherweight cant stand it and tells him to turn that shit off PLEASE

[AceOfNothing]

LAURIE- the christmas special for sure

MIASMA- probably the big tall wish

CROSSBONE- one of the more horror-centric ones, i think we remember one with mannequins that'd hit for her

[MarxzVulpez]

What is their least favorite regular chore?

Would they prefer Silent Hill or Resident Evil?

What kind of meat would be their favorite? Favorite noodle shape? Rice dish?

[skinstealer]

new round

team member: merry mortis
characters: merry's guys
theme: anything goes

stealing this list for mine. sorry




What is their least favorite regular chore?

SPOTTER, a rafflesia type struggling to overcome his biggest trial: food, Assisted Living project- cooking and food shopping- with the latter, he feels as if everyone is watching him, especially when he needs help getting things off of high shelves. since food is a weird issue with him due to some disordered eating habits, he is often made uncomfortable by the act of food prep and has friends help him with both of these chores.

REESE, a de'moneres with many regrets and secrets to hide, no project- sweeping, always hurts their back and makes them irritable

STARLA, a vintage type doing her best to keep a failing business afloat, no project- dusting things in their antique shop. it takes forever and it always makes them cough like hell

UNNAMED CANNIBALISM TYPE, a TCP who can't stand falling prey to his typing's urges, Maze Trials- inventory management, he fucking hates counting and memorization and often has to keep lists (that he then proceeds to lose)

PRANCER, a member of the Comorbid system known for speaking in riddles, Kaleidoclub- script organization, it's completely out of the loop and often puts things in the wrong place. people do not like it when prancer's on chore duty
 

---

Would they prefer Silent Hill or Resident Evil?

SPOTTER- resident evil. prefers zombie media and the camp factor.

UNNAMED CAROUSEL HORSE TYPE, a celebrity known for her attitude, no project- would say neither publicly, but is secretly a resident evil fiend.

STARLA- not really one to play most videogames, but would probably enjoy playing PT at a friend's house and be disappointed it's not going to be a finished game.

PRANCER- silent hill 100%. lives for silent hill 3

REESE- silent hill, likes the crunchy vibes of 1.
 

---

What kind of meat would be their favorite? Favorite noodle shape? Rice dish?

UNNAMED CAROUSEL HORSE TYPE- prosciutto or something else stupid expensive and fancy. likes spaghetti or glass noodles, and prefers fried rice.

UNNAMED CANNIBALISM TYPE- likes raw meat of any kind, but refuses to eat it unless it's prepackaged or from a TCP that can regenerate (like a food type). would like tthose big flat chicken noodle soup noodles, and saucy rice dishes with shredded meat on top.

REESE- chicken with a sweet sauce, maybe even sweet and sour...putting it on rice is ideal. likes classic macaroni.

STARLA- likes pot roast with lots of vegetables and a classic, homemade feel if possible. this means putting in the effort to get raw TCP meat and cook it herself! enjoys spiral noodles and egg on rice.

SPOTTER- lunch meat, simple stuff that doesnt require much prep. sandwiches are his friend. likes shaped macaroni. eats rice plain or with soy sauce.

[MarxzVulpez]

hmm, how about some split line pokemon evolution opinions?
(there's a ton but I'll only ask 4)
poliwrath or politoed?
vileplume or bellossom?
slowbro or slowking?
gardevoir or gallade?

this character has to go through a maze and is given a choice between one of three items to help them: a compass, a graph paper notebook with pencil, or a ball of string. there is nothing in the maze that will disrupt the use of their tool from working, and they can also choose to go without a tool. what do they go with, and why?

FRESCO, a gargoyle type TCP working on a new hit indie horror game, Felid Factor- notebook + pencil, already a huge notetaker so she figures her options are best there

UNNAMED CANNIBALISM TYPE- ball of string, thinks it would be the easiest to figure out

MARCY, a Toybox system member based on a theme park animatronic, Kaleidoclub- no tool, too overwhelmed to pick

[MarxzVulpez]

hmmm, breaking this one out because it seems like fun: Where does the character fall on this Venn Diagram, with whatever reasoning e.g. Likes the most, crushes on, relates to the most, likes the fashion of, etc etc etc

[skinstealer]

TEAM MEMBER: various mortises
CHARACTERS: Characters From Things We Are Working On This Week
TOPIC: Anything Goes

okay working on a twine today and figure this would be a good way to get our brain going on stuff we are doing this week. including:
- a secret twine (taffy wrap, michelle, possibly more as we figure those out?)
- a felid factor public update (desmond, carver)
- a felid factor backlog update (butane, butane's sort-of sister)
- PCA (maes, synna)
- oneshot (lover, primus)

that should be an interesting grab bag... let's roll some for marxz' FF7 question


LOVER, written by Calvin, post-Void Session-  halfway between aerith- they appreciate her snark and wit, and tifa, because they think tifa being able to punch shit is really cool.

BUTANE, written by Richard, Felid Factor- somewhere between cloud and tifa, skewing towards the latter. when he considers relationship stuff, he really wants to be in one with a partner who's headstrong and bold, but he's also a bit of a stoic grump himself and needs someone who can vibe with that.

MAES ARTAG, written by a bunch of Rin-Adjacent Mortises at this point, Punch Clock Animal- cloud 100%. they gravitate to sword wielding edgeboys.

CARVER, written by Sadie, Felid Factor- would want to be friends with everyone. not really the type to go for any of them romantically, though (she's looking for more of a barret)

DESMOND, written by Sadie, Felid Factor- does not have time for videogames nor would he care

[AceOfNothing]

What kind of "trash" TV would they watch if any? (Think basically any TLC show, some food network contest, bar rescue, kitchen rescue, anything like that)

If they had a day free, absolutely no plans or obligations, what would they do?

How do they greet friends?

Would you trust them to drive you to the store? 

Do you think they'd be good at retail work or serving in a restaurant?

Would you trust them with a blow torch not to light things on fire?

[skinstealer]

What kind of "trash" TV would they watch if any? (Think basically any TLC show, some food network contest, bar rescue, kitchen rescue, anything like that)

MICHELLE, written by Mallow, secret twine- loves stuff like kitchen nightmares, and watches them with taffy wrap after their relationship is established

LOVER- genuinely would hate watch something like jerry springer until primus tells them it's too mean, at which point they switch to prank shows

BUTANE'S SISTER, written by Richard, Felid Factor- watches a lot of different kinds of TV due to being stuck in the house a lot of the time, and doesn't have real preferences outside of cooking shows. she's tried to get butane into them, but he never clicks with any of them outside of the really ludicrous challenges, cutthroat kitchen style.

CARVER- talk shows, especially ones with riveting scientific discussions- or at least, by her standard of riveting. if it has fun facts she can spout at desmond, she's happy- and some of them he even finds amusing!

BUTANE- drama-heavy shows, regardless of the topic. doesn't particularly enjoy it, just needs something on in the background to dissociate zone out to and watching people scream at each other is easier to deal with than whatever's going on in his head at the time. 

---

If they had a day free, absolutely no plans or obligations, what would they do?

CARVER- go to the shore and look for something nice to bring home, even if it's just a chunk of seaglass or something. i like to think she collects things like that, not that she'd ever admit it to anyone.

BUTANE- sit by the docks with [future character yet to be introduced]. they would talk for hours and he would see her as the most beautiful thing on this planet, though he would never admit it out loud.

DESMOND- ask if maverick wanted to video/voice chat and tell himself it's not a weird crush thing, it's just business friends hanging out. whether he's correct on this is a mystery to both himself and maverick.

PRIMUS, written by the system as a whole, Post-Void Session- wander around the woods with bryce, maybe explore an area the two of them have been investigating for some time. nothing serious, just playing around.

MAES- spend time with charon, 100%. they would want to spend the whole day with him, whether that's something mundane and relaxing or...you know the type of shit they get up to.

this question got gay quickly

---

How do they greet friends?

TAFFY WRAP- taffy doesn't have a lot of friends, so this is pretty tricky. depending on whether he's in a manic or depressive swing, i imagine it's either a very excitable "hello!" or a sleepy grumble.

CARVER- a shy "hi!", she doesn't exactly like to make a big impact

BUTANE'S SISTER- very chipper about it pre-illness, much more tired now

LOVER- as flamboyantly and excitably as possible

DESMOND- has a flair for the dramatic, though due to being easily irritated, he may come off snappy instead if he's in the middle of something
 

---

Would you trust them to drive you to the store? 

BUTANE'S SISTER- she drove butane around a lot before he got his license, and taught him how to drive in general. very trustworthy on a good health day.

SYNNA- cannot drive, but absolutely not even if she could

DESMOND- very good driver, owns a van and does deliveries for people on occasion, so yes.

MICHELLE- yeah, she's a solid driver. her car is way too small for taffy to get into but he would trust her to drive him around if she could.

BUTANE- very very good driver, but a little reckless if he's on edge. that said, he has the chops to pull it off. would be a good driver to the store.
 

---

Do you think they'd be good at retail work or serving in a restaurant?

TAFFY WRAP- eehhhhhhh. i feel like he'd crack under pressure.

DESMOND- yes, absolutely, he did this kind of work in the past before becoming a jewelry model, though how that works on fallow's island is a little different. in either case, it was more of a local restaurant situation than a fast food place, and his powerful strength gave him a significant boost in being able to carry things around.

LOVER- surprisingly yes? i feel like they'd be really good at sweet-talking customers in something like a department store or other business where things need to be pitched.

BUTANE'S SISTER- yes, did retail work pre-illness. i want to say she worked a perfume counter.

MAES- nope. would not be good at it and would quit after a day.
 

---

Would you trust them with a blow torch not to light things on fire?

CARVER- yes! carver is a very careful person and definitely works with similarly dangerous tools in her spare time.

MAES- if it was mounted to their weird surgical arms? Absolutely. they have done extremely delicate work along these lines in the past.

TAFFY WRAP- he is extremely flammable and would not even touch a blow torch

BUTANE- he's a lighter type. he knows how fire works and feels very in control of it. A+ blow torch skills.

DESMOND- absolutely, has likely cooked with one before. maybe at aforementioned local restaurant job?

How are they in a conflict with a friend? 

How are they in a conflict with a stranger? 

Do you think they'd do well in school?

What color would they paint their bedroom?

If they were given 100 dollars and told to buy themself something special, what would it be?

If they had to pick up classroom Valentines, what kind would they be? (Like "something with a candy pun" or "something homemade" or "Character/franchise Valentines")

[skinstealer]

Who would they pick in Mario cart and why? 

CARVER- daisy, solely because of the flower motif- she likes plants quite a bit.

TAFFY WRAP- bowser, he likes big monster characters

LOVER- dry bones, they enjoy being spooky and weird

EXTRA- peach, likes pretty princess characters

PRIMUS- mario, he loves a good hearted protagonist (wow who would have guessed)
 

---

What candy do you think fits their vibe aesthetically and would they eat it?

EXTRA- one of those candies that changes over time as you eat it. probably wouldn't go for it, says it tastes weird.

MAES- lemon drops are both a very maes candy and their favorite sweet to eat. their autism-like symptoms make it so that things that are Too powerful flavorwise make them overstimulated and upset, but a nice lemon drop that isn't too sour is their absolute favorite.

PRIMUS- chocolate covered pretzel or trail mix, practically lives on the stuff.

SYNNA- chocolate bar with nuts, would absolutely eat it.

DESMOND- chocolate with liquer, would probably find it too strong.

---

How are they in a conflict with a friend? 

LOVER- Absolutely God Awful, they get really offended and defensive easily and need to calm down before approaching the siituation again. things can be solved, but it's a struggle.

BUTANE- silent treatment until he gets his head out of his ass

DESMOND- better than you'd initially expect. if he respects you, he'll give you time to explain and navigate stuff.

SYNNA- struggles to word her issues well, and can get pretty easily offended. means well though, even if it takes time to address the problems.

PRIMUS- tries to stand up for what he believes in, but falters if it means hurting someone's feelings. always tries to make things right after.
 

---

How are they in a conflict with a stranger? 

LOVER- absolutely Scathing, will resort to insults if necessary

DESMOND- also willing to insult those who cross his lines, but is a lot more snappy and concise about it

CARVER- silent treatment, quiet seething

TAFFY WRAP- does his best to keep it together and cries about it later

SYNNA- no nonsense, doesn't take peoples' shit
 

---

Do you think they'd do well in school?

DESMOND- probably well enough to be considered a "good student", but often too busy in his own pursuits to be top of the class

TAFFY WRAP- not at all, but does what he can to pass

SYNNA- nope, she'd easily be able to fly through classes but is too distracted and wanting to do other things that interest her more

CARVER- yeah, she'd be pretty punctual and on top of homework

EXTRA- yeah, and she helped tutor butane when he was taking classes as well

---

What color would they paint their bedroom?

DESMOND- a soft brown with darker brown designs on the walls

SYNNA- keeps it plain white, stands out more with stickers/posters

PRIMUS- blue and brown, like his void session tower room

BUTANE- doesn't care, but would like wood paneling

CARVER- beige

---

If they were given 100 dollars and told to buy themself something special, what would it be?

LOVER- probably some luxurious chocolates or some kind of videogames if they were feeling impulsive- if actually thinking through it, expensive materials for their mask work

PRIMUS- some fancy new boots for exploring around

DESMOND- lots of things from the local markets, both practical and for decor

MAES- probably something that they could enjoy with charon, such as a new outfit they think he would like

MICHELLE- probably some wine or something?
 

---

If they had to pick up classroom Valentines, what kind would they be? (Like "something with a candy pun" or "something homemade" or "Character/franchise Valentines")

PRIMUS- really cheesy puns

LOVER- franchise valentines, with nice candy attached

SYNNA- character valentines, specifically cartoon or videogame ones

MICHELLE- homemade, but kind of amateurish (full of love!)

CARVER- stock art and okay candy

What is the first thing they do with a calculator (i.e. actual math, type funny numbers, hit the square root button over and over, try to error it out, etc)

[skinstealer]

What kind of valentine would they be happiest to get?

CARVER- anything really, though she'd have a hard time figuring out a good way to react

PRIMUS- anything with heart put into it, though you wouldn't have to do much- he appreciates any kinds.

MICHELLE- something that shows she's been personally thought about in a deeper way

TAFFY WRAP- something that makes him feel very deeply loved

DESMOND- some sort of handmade craft
 

---

What's the best valentine's day candy (and why is it conversation hearts)

TAFFY WRAP- valentine's day AND cheap chocolate day

LOVER- valentine's day

PRIMUS- valentine's day
 

---

(Post-void session) something they're sentimental about from the session that they forgot/couldn't bring with them

LOVER- their huge library from wax's fortress. they took a bunch of their favorite books but couldn't bring them all- everyone on wax's team has a bunch, though, so they swap them around sometimes.

PRIMUS- he spent like two hours making sure he could bring as much as he could but does miss his wizard tower room sometimes.
 

---

What is the first thing they do with a calculator (i.e. actual math, type funny numbers, hit the square root button over and over, try to error it out, etc)

SYNNA- actual math, though if it's a graphing calculator, she is definitely the kind of person to figure out games on it

DESMOND- basic math for work

PRIMUS- enjoys figuring out what all the functions do

MICHELLE- funny number

MAES- actual math, doesn't know you can fuck around with them until synna tells them

What's something they can't live without?

What's something they've lost they would want want back?

What's something they wish they never had?

Are they jealous of anyone in their life?

Can they take a hit without worrying too much?

What's something that comforts them?

If they were given a cellphone and told to text their closest friend/Significant other some important news, how would that look?

What would they name a pet? (Like something cutesy (Fifi, Mittens), A Person name (Zach, Debbie), or something silly that's probably gets a nickname (Chicken Nugget, Lord Destruction))

[skinstealer]

What's something they can't live without?

MICHELLE- michelle doesn't have a lot of things she considers "meaningful" in life, and is still searching for something to really latch onto. if anything, she'd say that pursuit is what currently keeps her going.

MAES- charon and synna, when it comes to people- but they value their work to an extreme degree, and are just as inseparable from that.

MAVERICK- its magic work, hands down. it can't bear to leave the occult and charm making alone, and sometimes it veers into obsession territory.

PRIMUS- feeling like he's helpful to others. This Does Not Always Go Well

STELLARIS- stella doesn't have a lot of ties to this world either, but unlike michelle, she feels like she's wasting time and going nowhere and doesn't have much hope that things are going to get better.
 

---

What's something they've lost they would want want back?

MICHELLE- her passion for life

STELLARIS- her sense of agency and control (though actually having it was short lived)

TAFFY WRAP- the feeling of being loved by someone, even if it's for sinister reasons

PRIMUS- time spent with the rest of the void team- they still see each other, but it's a lot less consistent

MAES- their sense of creativity and wonder
 

---

What's something they wish they never had?

ICHOR- he wishes maverick never fucking moved in, more serious answer, he probably has some bad experiences with magic. doesn't like those.

MAES- their past, or at least not to the magnitude of which it occurred.

LOVER- a history of war

STELLARIS- her typing

MAVERICK- also its typing
 

---

Are they jealous of anyone in their life?

MICHELLE- not really. michelle sees other people living more fulfilling lives than her and goes "well, i'm glad that's working for them"- it's more of a longing than jealousy

MAVERICK- very much so, jealous of other wizards and witches that can live their lives more freely and go on adventures

MAES- yes, very much so. they can't help but envy people who have loving families, even if the concept is also completely foreign and frankly frightening as well

SYNNA- jealous of constructs. extremely, Extremely jealous of constructs to an unhealthy degree

TAFFY WRAP- nothing he'd admit to but yes
 

---

Can they take a hit without worrying too much?

ICHOR- yeah. t-rex types are bulky and ichor definitely has a history in fighting. would probably eat shit to maverick though on size and skill gap (considering maverick is a scrap user) alone, though

TAFFY WRAP- big slime filled plush. he's good as long as it's not a puncture.

MAVERICK- yeah. rhabdophobia type is Pretty Big and bulky, and has hands that pack a punch/are good for gripping and crushing.

LOVER- absolutely not they're getting punted across the room

STELLARIS- POTION TYPES ARE MADE OF GLASS
 

---

What's something that comforts them?

MAVERICK- charm making and talking to its friends/colleagues online

MICHELLE- visiting taffy wrap, horny shit (i am not elaborating in this thread), talking over feelings

LOVER- high energy activities, getting their intrusive thoughts out

JERRI- decorating, both interior and exterior

PRIMUS- walking around out in the woods and reading
 

---

If they were given a cellphone and told to text their closest friend/Significant other some important news, how would that look?

MAES- probably a mix of Dead Serious and stumbling depending on what it is and whether it's synna or charon.

JERRI- tripping over herself

SYNNA- says it outright but kind of rambly at the same time, maes on the other end would be very "PLEASE get to the point"

MICHELLE- blunt, flat affect, taffy wrap is probably more concerned than he needs to be in response

STELLARIS- crying over texts regardless of whether it's happy or sad
 

---

What would they name a pet? (Like something cutesy (Fifi, Mittens), A Person name (Zach, Debbie), or something silly that's probably gets a nickname (Chicken Nugget, Lord Destruction))

MAVERICK- something magic-related. maybe the name of a famous historical figure in TCP wizardry

ICHOR- something TOUGH and MANLY

MAES- too scared to have pets but if they did it'd be science/space related

SYNNA- based on a favorite fictional character

TAFFY WRAP- something silly and cute

[AceOfNothing]

How would they handle a cold? (Whether they can get one or not)

How do the handle a minor injury? (Ex: Papercut, stubbed toe)

How do they handle a major, but probably not life threatening, injury? (Ex: Broke a bone kicking a pole, cut themself while cooking)

Could you describe them as Touch Starved? 

What kind of noodle is the best noodle (and how would they eat it (in a soup, mac an cheese, Alfredo, spaghetti taco))

Which Disney Princess would they want to get on a buzz feed quiz

If they had to give up something important to them to save someone they care about, would they do it?

On "good" day would they describe themself as happy with where their life is?

How common is their name? (Easy to find their name on name keychains, It's an object so easy enough, sees someone with their name occasionally, Would abe a bit freaked out to find someone with their name)(just some ideas)

[skinstealer]

How would they handle a cold? (Whether they can get one of not)

LOVER- whines a lot but is genuinely struggling, appreciates any help given and sends people flowers

MAES- worst time ever. absolutely shitty. they can't get any work done and they spend the entire time sulking and feeling awful.

STELLARIS- mopes and doesn't want anyone to see her

SYNNA- pretends she's fine for as long as possible but eventually gets quarantined as a plague vector

TAFFY WRAP- sleeps for a week
 

---

How do the handle a minor injury? (Ex: Papercut, stubbed toe)

SYNNA- bandages it and moves on, doesn't leave cuts open to infection but is definitely nonchalant about it

STELLARIS- Complete Meltdown (valid considering being made of glass)

MAVERICK- swears a bit but tries to play it cool

MAES- pretends nothing is wrong and takes care of it in private (unless it's during surgery, they take that VERY seriously)

JERRI- cries, even if it's something small

---

How do they handle a major, but probably not life threatening, injury? (Ex: Broke a bone kicking a pole, cut themself while cooking)

MAVERICK- immediately try to recall magic to heal it/keep the injury stable until it can get better help

MICHELLE- call taffy wrap and be really stupidly nonchalant about it

STELLARIS- call butane and be Really Panicky about it

MAES- try to downplay it but also call charon immediately. he's the only one they'd let help like that

PRIMUS- get ahold of bryce/miller/any of the other TCPs he works with ASAP, he knows better than to tank that
 

---

Could you describe them as Touch Starved?

MAVERICK- yes, absolutely. it'd never admit it, though.

PRIMUS- soooort of? primus doesn't have high touch needs compared to his emotional ones, but does like touch and doesn't get it as much as he'd like.

MICHELLE- yes, 100%, absolutely

MAES- before charon? very yes, but they were previously repelled by all touch and still needed to work up to certain things with charon

JERRI- nah she's good
 

---

What kind of noodle is the best noodle (and how would eat it (in a soup, mac an cheese, Alfredo, spaghetti taco))

JERRI- spaghetti, likes it with all kinds of sauces

MAES- shells, likes alfredo

MICHELLE- macaroni, likes the boxed mac and cheese

STELLARIS- ziti, likes it done up fancy

ICHOR- small little pastas, in soup
 

---

Which Disney Princess would they want to get on a buzz feed quiz

JERRI- snow white

STELLARIS- sleeping beauty

LOVER- belle

PRIMUS- would much rather be a prince

ICHOR- disney princesses are for wusses
 

---

If they had to give up something important to them to save someone they care about, would they do it?

SYNNA- yes. has done so before and would do it again

MAES- would give everything and anything to protect synna and charon

ICHOR- uhhh. maybe? i think he has people he'd do that for, but he would be conflicted.

MICHELLE- michelle doesn't have a lot of personal attachments, so it'd be a pretty easy choice for her to do so.

PRIMUS- yes. without a doubt
 

---

On "good" day would they describe themself as happy with where their life is?

SYNNA- mixed bag. synna tries to keep herself very upbeat and pleasant but is EXTREMELY depressed and prone to impulsive behavior because of it, combined with her debilitating species/body dysmorphia. so probably not, i guess, even on a "good" day. 

STELLARIS- Absolutely Not

PRIMUS- yeah, for sure

TAFFY WRAP- good day? yeah, sure

ICHOR- yeah, i'd say so
 

---

How common is their name? (Easy to find their name on name keychains, It's an object so easy enough, sees someone with their name occasionally, Would abe a bit freaked out to find someone with their name)(just some ideas)

MAVERICK- fairly common, it's a classic name in precipice

ICHOR- common enough where he lives, similar to maverick

STELLARIS- uncommon name but not unheard of in hoopla

MICHELLE- not a super common name, especially not in hearth.

JERRI- rare name for precipice, would be startling to find another

[AceOfNothing]

[skinstealer]

TEAM MEMBER: variety of mortises
CHARACTERS: this week's focuses
TOPIC: Anything Goes (serious questions preferred but jokes are fun too)

the roster:
Maes
Synna
Numfi, Mistress of the Twelve True Honks, a wizit from Void Session
Maurice Zap, a negativity type talk show host
Adele, a Felid Factor TCP who operates as an experienced and prolific scrap wizard
Sickle, ?????????????????????
James, a Maze Trials TCP prone to being shoved into murderous situations
Weiss, a Maze Trials TCP operating as the overseers' personal surgeon

stealing questions...

Have they traveled to other zones before?

NUMFI- yes! numfi has done a fair bit of traveling around the less dangerous zones of Taverne, and enjoys meeting new people and spreading her messages about happy clownery

MAURICE ZAP- yes, maurice has been all over the world- while he's most well known in taverne, he definitely has presence in other places, enough to be a household name among a good chunk of TCPs in the same way people in different areas can recognize big enough celebrities. he's kind of an oprah situation.

SICKLE- travels a lot. doesn't have a stable base of operations, always on the move.

WEISS- has never been outside of the trials, but would probably prefer sticking to one place.

SYNNA- has never left the menagerie
 

---

Would they play Playmates or any of the mods?

MAURICE ZAP- has played it on a special episode of his show before in the same way that second life was big and covered by a lot of media in the 2000's. probably would avoid talking about the sex mod as much as possible because this is a family friendly show goddamnit

NUMFI- yeah! she would have a really good time with this, especially if like, she could play as a clown doll. or a balloon animal. or a jack in the box! would probably play with magic mods.

WEISS- weiss is the kind of person who drowns sims in pools and exploits glitches just to see what would happen. probably would do a lot of modding just to see how far it can push the game. not always cruel in how it plays, but very curious.

JAMES- too embarassed to play videogames but would probably get into it if he could be a papercraft and was outside of the trials. too shy to ask limbo to join him. needs help navigating mod directories.

SYNNA- canonically a player who has like five million robot characters. absolutely plays soulmates
 

---

What type would they specialize in in pokemon? (If type doesn't work can always be something like "They'd only have fluffy pokemon" or "shiny pokemon only")

ADELE- fairy types, particularly highly competitive ones with bullshit strategies

MAES- stuff with a space theme, i think. you know they have a clefairy and are really embarassed about it.

SICKLE-  no real pokemon, just edgy creepypasta ones like buried alive

MAURICE ZAP- normal and electric types, especially magnetic ones like magnemite- he has a brand to uphold after all

NUMFI- playful, first stage pokemon. cute and fluffy, no battling
 

---

How do they feel about having to go to a doctor?

WEISS- weiss is already a """"doctor"""" and takes great joy in overseer "appointments". it delights in being looked over and is very obedient, if not overly curious about what's happening.

Show Contentmaze trials spoiler implications, stuff that's been implied though:

one of the few TCPs left lucid/conscious during inspections. it has so much fun.

ADELE- only goes to scrap-experienced doctors due to having some degree of magical poisoning from how much work she does with volatile scraps. does not enjoy this, more just sees it as a time-suck than anything triggering.

SICKLE- does not see doctors, or anyone if they can help it. better to stay discrete.

JAMES- HATES IT HATES IT HATES IT HATES IT

NUMFI- probably kind of weird about it. remembers the surgery shit from void session and gets nervous around scalpels, after that.
 

---

How would they react to a Horror attack being reported near their home?

ADELE- get the fuck out of dodge and go somewhere else until things blow over. resist the urge to go get horror scraps, they're bad news.

WEISS-  would be overly curious and want to check it out and maybe collect some horror slime for Experiments

SICKLE- move locations immediately and do not look back. take advantage of convenient situations presented by this where possible

MAES- this is not unprecedented, they have procedures to keep people safe already in place

NUMFI- immediately check on the rest of her troupe and get voidsy to help as soon as possible
 

---

how do they feel about the gods?

NUMFI- mixed feelings. grateful that she exists and gets along well with voidsy, but recognizes that the game she was born into is corrupt and made without the wellbeing of its inhabitants in mind

JAMES- does not know much about them but hates the idea of authority figures period so yeah that's not going to go over well

ADELE- doesn't trust them but would do dealings with them if need be. may have done so already, even.

WEISS- would probably be interested in serving them if it knew anything about them. loves sucking up to a higher force.

MAURICE ZAP- this is one of the few things he is actively, openly opinionated on, and is one of his most well known political views. maurice is EXTREMELY anti-session and anti-deity, and has opened multiple charities to help fund session survivor recovery and housing programs.
 

---

Do you think they'd be interested in Celebrity drama?

ADELE- nah. too busy

WEISS- yes. would watch drama videos on youtube until the overseers make it stop and focus on its job.

SICKLE- follows many things. celebrity drama can tell you a lot about current climates.

MAES- not in a million years

SYNNA- she says she isn't but she totally is. would read the equivalent of twitter drama threads and bother the fuck out of maes and charon with it
 

---

Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, or Nickelodeon?

SICKLE- whatever gives them an edge in understanding their next target

WEISS- disney channel. it likes the live action stuff

MAES- does not enjoy many cartoons but out of everything would probably enjoy more serious adult swim stuff, like the anime screenings

MAURICE ZAP- disney channel

SYNNA- nickelodeon, old style
 

---

Have they ever have any major surgeries?

WEISS- most likely yes. performs more than it receives, though.

MAURICE ZAP- probably not?

JAMES- no, but has witnessed one and is deathly afraid of them now

SYNNA- yes, prosthetic augmentation

NUMFI- no, but witnessed buddy's and is freaked out by them

[AceOfNothing]

Would you trust them with a secret?

What do you think their dating life would be like?

Do they like their job?

Would they sleep better warm or cold?

What's their sexuality/romantic preference?

Feelings on magic? Scrap?

Do they like themself?

[skinstealer]

Would you trust them with a secret?

WEISS- weiss is the type of person to blurt out private info so no

NUMFI- yes, though she's given up secrets by accident when stressed/under pressure

SICKLE- Absolutely Fucking Not

SYNNA- maybe? she'd try to keep it secret at least

MAES- yes, absolutely. they don't tell secrets to Anyone

---

What do you think their dating life would be like?

WEISS- either it finds someone who fits its weird surgery murder lifestyle perfectly (not an impossible situation in the trials, especially if overseers play matchmaker) or people just run away screaming

SICKLE-

NUMFI- not sure, honestly? i think she's single but has considered dating other members of the troupe before and it doesn't shake out. nervous about branching out into other options

JAMES- dating? limbo. they have a complicated relationship due to overseers watching at all times type stuff but he's very devoted to him.

SYNNA- does a lot of casual hookups on soulmates but is otherwise not super interested in people around her (as far as we know...). still identifies on the aroace spectrum, and a lot of that is based in "i dont feel confident enough in my own body/dysmorphia"
 

---

Do they like their job?

ADELE- mixed feelings on it. it's where her passions lie but she also knows it is hard, grueling work, and she's had to see a lot of things she wishes she didn't. she wouldn't trade it for anything, though.

JAMES- if you consider being a trialgoer put into murder situations a full time job: he fucking hates it and wants nothing more than to get the hell out and retire from this shit. 

SYNNA- loves it. maybe a little too much

MAURICE ZAP- on camera? loves it, picture of happiness. off camera? very stressed about it, but loves the status it brings him

WEISS- REEEALLLY LIKES IT
 

---

Would they sleep better warm or cold?

MAES- warm, though being warmed up significantly leads them to lose shape a little bit and become maes puddle

MAURICE ZAP- 100% air conditioned

JAMES- likes hugging a certain clammy zombie type so probably warm blankets + cold boyfriend

WEISS- can't really wear blankets due to being covered in needles, but does get cold easily

ADELE- cold, doesn't like too many blankets

 

---

What's their sexuality/romantic preference?

SICKLE-

NUMFI- probably prefers sweet, gentle men who hold her hands and tell her nice things. so straight i guess?

MAURICE ZAP- pansexual, not sure about romantic partner? possibly stays single to market off the fact that he's widely considered a heartthrob

WEISS- uhhhh. i dont  knooooow? would giving the lesbians a terrible needle surgeon make them happy. edit: asked some lesbian friends and they said yes. yall can have weiss

JAMES- gay/mlm
 

---

Feelings on magic? Scrap?

NUMFI- thinks scrap magic is very cool, but prefers her clownery. wizit magic is more fun to her, though she's had talks with people about how the two could be used together

SYNNA- wants to work with it more than the bare minimum required for her job but maes is a no fun spoilsport

MAURICE ZAP- absolutely believes in it and has interviewed many wizards/witches/sensitives on his show

SICKLE- very useful

ADELE- literally her whole life revolves around this stuff. absolutely fixated on it, one track mind when it comes to magic

---

Do they like themself?

SYNNA- nope. not at all. she has huge self worth and self image issues and covers them up with humor whenever possible

WEISS- yes, very much so. weiss has been praised so many times by the overseers and is soooo good at its job that it's very confident in what it is and what it's doing

NUMFI- well enough, i suppose. if she has any frustrations, she generally talks them out with buddy.

MAES- noooope. different ways than synna, but they hold themself to RIDICULOUS standards and mentally suffer for it. they need a hug

ADELE- enough to have confidence in everything she says, but probably has little things about herself that grate on her nerves.

What's is their love language?

[skinstealer]

What's something they wish they could forget?

MAES- this is a hell of a character to roll for this . a lot of things when they're having intrusive thoughts, but forgetting things is a major fear/trigger of theirs. they immediately try to reroute their thoughts when that happens.

SYNNA- stupid mistakes she makes that haunt her- even though the time growing up sucked horribly, she still values the time she had growing up with maes too much to want to forget it.

ADELE- one of the wizard trips that went wrong, along with various horrible memories she's seen in violent/shocking scraps

WOMBLE- uhhhh. UHHHHHHHHHH. not sure how to answer this without spoilers. it doesn't like a lot of its past actions, so probably that. it wants a fresh start.

NUMFI- honestly, buddy's surgery.

---

Would they loan a friend money? Are they specific about being paid back? 

NUMFI- absolutely, would like it paid back but depending on the person she might let it slide.

ADELE- Maybe. hard maybe, extremely dependent on who's asking. would absolutely be harsh about it being paid back.

WOMBLE- womble does not know what money is and would think that it's distressing if explained in detail

SICKLE- PLEASE DO NOT TAKE MONEY FROM SICKLE

SYNNA- yeah, and she'd ask for the money back but she'll basically let you do infinite IOUs

---

Would you trust them with a car?

SICKLE- can drive, does not do good things with cars

JAMES- james would be a very nervous driver but a safe one.

MAURICE ZAP- can drive, very good at it, owns an expensive car

ADELE- can drive, has a van, good at it but does road rage a bit

WOMBLE- womble is a fish

---

Would you trust them with a secret?

ADELE- yes, very trustworthy even if she comes off as callous.

MAURICE ZAP- he doesn't have the best track record with this, and if something is funny/weird enough, it might end up in his autobio collection.

WOMBLE- i think it means well but it blurts stuff out when pressured so probably not

sorry the rest have had this answered

---

MAURICE ZAP- 40 years old

ADELE- 15 years old

Are they more glass half full or glass half empty?

JAMES- glass empty

MAURICE ZAP- glass full

SICKLE- glass empty

MAES- glass empty

ADELE- glass empty

---

Do they consider first impressions important?

SYNNA- willing to look past a bad first impression if she warms up to them

MAES- very judgmental on first impressions so very much yes

NUMFI- yes, but is forgiving if someone screws up and apologizes

WOMBLE- very much so but has a very distorted view of what's what

ADELE- Yes, even more judgmental than maes. if you make a typo around her she'll roll her eyespots forever

---

What's is their love language?

SYNNA- gifts and media sharing

MAES- quality time 10000% and acts of service

NUMFI- playing and being creative together

[MarxzVulpez]

If they had to choose between
grilled cheese and pbj
and had to give the other up (could still make stuff with the ingredients just nothing that could be explicitly a Grilled Cheese/PBJ) for the rest of their life
what would they choose

[MarxzVulpez]

dropping this one too before I forget:

if they were a god/became one, what would their motifs/domains be (if they're already one, alt timeline version or some others that they could have been?)?

[skinstealer]

adding:

Mandrake
Hashbrown
JB

for early UC ep 2 cast and taking off synna

If they had to choose between
grilled cheese and pbj
and had to give the other up (could still make stuff with the ingredients just nothing that could be explicitly a Grilled Cheese/PBJ) for the rest of their life
what would they choose

MAES- grilled cheese, PBJ is too sweet. also would like putting meat in it but thats kind of a panini situation huh

NUMFI- pbj, prefers the sweetness. i imagine wizits do in general? they like their Sweets and Treats

MANDRAKE- pbj but specifically fancy with the crust off. she likes it.

WOMBLE- grilled cheese, doesnt like the stickiness of pbj bc mouth but no tongue

SICKLE- i don't actually know what sickle eats. uhhh. they probably like ham sandwiches and stuff so i feel like grilled cheese is a similar palette. we need to find more humanizing details for sickle so that theyre not solely ~creepy guy~ and this is a good start i think. that said, they are a TCP so they dont Need to. much to think about
 

---

if they were a god/became one, what would their motifs/domains be (if they're already one, alt timeline version or some others that they could have been?)?

NUMFI- balloons and stars for motifs, merriment and wonder for domains. god numfi would be really cool.

WOMBLE- oh god this one's REALLY hard. probably plankton and bioluminescence for motifs, play and curiosity for domains. god i am making myself sad.

HASHBROWN- junk and scrap metal for motifs, domains of repair and decay (think rusting)

JAMES- scissor and paper motifs, crafting and survival domains

MAES- oh god. uhhh. horror sludge and teeth for motifs, science and dedication for domains.

SICKLE- dinner, we'll say that they spend a good amount of time on this
 

---
