#*rereads part of the post* aww my babies are so dysfunctional i love them

[kanerallels]

how do your OCs react to being injured? like, big OR small injuries, do they grin and bear it or break down or try to hide it... and how do they respond to *each other* being injured? who's the most protective when someone else is injured?

(sorry this is kinda a big question lol, I couldn't figure out how to word it)

No worries!! Sorry it's taken me a while to answer this-- it's a REALLY good question, and I want to do it justice.

Scarlet: Scarlet is more likely to actually break down. She'd want to be strong enough to push through it, but wouldn't get very far before it became obvious something was wrong or she collapsed

Jewelea: She wouldn't want to worry or inconvenience anyone, so she'd probably keep quiet about it for as long as possible, usually until something goes really badly. Hence, why Nicholas has appointed himself in charge of checking with her after any kind of altercation or fight. This has actually saved her life a number of times

Samuel: Samuel is a huge drama queen and I love him for that and his ability to be emotionally open about his injuries. The smaller the injury, the more dramatic he is. He operates on this scale-- if it's a paper cut, he's about to die and so is everyone else. If he's been impaled, he'd probably just be like "rude" and pass out

Nicholas: Nicholas is probably the one who gets hurt the least, so when he does, it's a Thing thanks to him having the most dramatic best friend in the world.

Samuel, tearing up: It's too soon to say good bye, we still have so many adventures together

Nicholas: It's literally just a cut

(but when he does get hurt he probably takes care of it quickly and quietly so he can continue being unproblematic in the background before Samuel sees it)

Jade: Jade is the least emotionally cooperative person in the entire galaxy. It takes a literal crowbar to pry feelings out of her, and sometimes that doesn't even work. Therefore, she would rather die than admit she's hurt, and it has definitely gotten to that state sometimes. The only one allowed to help her when she's hurt are Frank and Jewelea, and Frank's only allowed to do that because he's secretly a dad and will not allow anything else. Plus, their bickering distracts her very well

Frank: Frank isn't allowed to get hurt. One time he was knocked unconscious for a day and a half, and when he woke up Scarlet had cut her hair really short, Jade had run away, Samuel had set up an illegal gambling ring, Nicholas had fought seven criminals and Jewelea had THE WORST migraine. But when he does get hurt, he handles it like an adult who will admit when he's hurt so that he can get help quickly unlike his angsty and dramatic friends. Moooooooost of the time
