MISCELLANEOUS • ASK GAME

(( @remadra ))

🎶 - What kind of music does your muse listen to? Do they have a favorite genre? Do you think the aux cord would be taken away from them?

Besides her favorite song, she has a taste one would consider to be refined.

She doesn't listen to music all that often, though what little she does know comes from the piano sheets her predecessor left her. She learned to play the piano during the years: she enjoys classical music mostly. Whatever comes from outside of a TV or even a radio is instantly discarded, so she would not be in charge of the aux to begin with, even if it's a recoding of a song she supposedly enjoys. She is all for live performance. Or a gramophone, if she really must.

😖 - Does your muse have any embarrassing moments that they still think about? Do they laugh at them, or do they haunt them?

Thankfully, she doesn't remember much of her younger days － the ones outside of the Maw especially, but she does have some memories which she would rather... forget about. Embarrassment is one of the few emotions she feels as being particularly visceral, and that's why for the most part she tries to repress the thoughts about how she was young the spells she attempted would result in comical failures.

She tries to brush them off to herself as "being part of the learning process", as she does with every other embarrassing memory, even the ones that do not apply to this context, yet she also never allows anyone to give their input on said thoughts. Mainly because no one has ever witnessed her in such a state － no one who survived to tell the tale, anyway.

👻 - How does your muse handle feeling scared? Do they enjoy horror? Do they believe in the paranormal? What calms your muse down? Do they have any scary stories?

She hides.

This is something that did not change over the years. Though she has no reason to hide away now, when she was small, Five used to try and fit herself into the darkest and smallest places imaginable. She was a rather tall child, so this was complicated, but she was silent and agile enough to make up for it.

Even back as a young girl, she always had an interest in the macabre. Horror was not and is not her favorite genre to read, but she is the kind of person who would buy a doll or a painting if the item is said to be haunted. She would most likely enjoy horror movies, but only as a thing to make fun of; with her knowledge of ghosts and souls, she knows how laughably inaccurate some depictions of them are.

Humming to herself is always enough to keep her calm during dire situations. It's another habit she did not grow out of.

🧠 - Does your muse have any mental ailments? How do they live with them?

She developed PTSD after her time in the City, which in turn caused a deep paranoia which was only aggravated once she took on the role of the Lady of the Maw. She doesn't trust anyone at all and tends to isolate because of this. She refuses to acknowledge either for what they actually are. She is fine, if you were to ask her. Fine and dandy.

She is also on the spectrum. She had to learn social skills and is still not too great at it: however, her charisma is enough to save her in the situations where she finds herself having to engage with people for long periods of time. Back as a kid she was perceived as being a "weird girl", now she is referred to as "charming" by her Guests. Interesting how that works since she didn't really change much...

She resorts to isolation. Not the healthiest way to cope, but she is not a very healthy person overall.
