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.

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 CAROUSEL HORSE TYPE- compass, though she quickly realizes she doesn't know how to actually use that in this scenario

REESE- no tool, prefers to mark the maze with their claws and continuously take the left path

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

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?

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?

[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
