#I need like a sneesekai tag or something lol

[sfblah]

Got a handful of asks from @shamanbodian a while back, sorry for taking so long to finally answer them lol. Focusing on various isekai story characters.

🥵: What time of year would you most likely see them down with a cold? Are they a common winter sickie, or are they the rare type to catch a bug in the heat of summer?

Penny and Jade are probably just the classic winter cold type, but Komithe is definitely a summer cold kind of girl. Eshena could just catch a cold whenever, because according to her the universe exists to make her miserable lol.

🤧: Age-old inquiry: tissues or handkerchiefs? Better yet, do they normally sneeze into an alternative?

Penny, Jade and Komithe will all use tissues, though Penny probably only uses one if she needs to blow her nose. Typically she'll just sneeze uncovered. Komithe sorta has the vibes of someone who'd use a handkerchief, but I feel like she either doesn't think to buy them or she just keeps losing them all the time and ends up using tissues.

🗣: Rate you character’s sneezes from 1-10 with these three categories: Volume (1=Softest), Mess Rating (1=Least Messy), and Frequency (1=Only One Sneeze, vs 10=Abundant Fits).

Eshena:

Volume: 5, not quiet, but not devastatingly loud or anything.

Mess: 6, above average messiness, but also not anything extreme.

Frequency: 3, typically sneezes in singles, and rather than fits she's more likely to have more individual sneezes spaced out over a period of time.

Komithe:

Volume: 3-6, depending on whether she stifles and how successfully. Her stifled sneezes are small but not silent, and a fully unstifled sneeze can be a bit sharp.

Mess: 2, generally not very messy unless she's really stuffed up.

Frequency: 2-3, fairly similar to Eshena in that she has mostly single sneezes. Really only prone to fits if directly exposed to feathers for a while.

💐: For characters with allergies! Have they ever received a gift with something their allergic to? How did they react? If they got a gift with an allergen, how would they react?

Eshena would absolutely complain about it and make it everybody's problem. Likely the only way she wouldn't throw it back in the giver's face is if it was something from a higher ranking deity, in which case she'd grumble about it in private and whine behind their back to everyone else.

For Komithe, it would depend on the gift. If it was something like a stuffed animal filled with feathers, she'd love and cherish it no matter how much it made her sneeze. For anything else she'd probably be kinda confused and offput by it, not really sure how to respond. One idea I had for an unwritten chapter involved her getting a bottle of perfume that makes her sneeze, and while she wouldn't end up keeping it or using it after finding out, it at least wouldn't upset her too much.

Thanks for the asks!
