#a fun night out in the town or a cat thats not particularly good?

[fancyfade]

idk what beth/yolanda's dr midnight/wildcat ship name is, but i do know that wildnight sounds a lot more glamorous than midcat

[tenshindon]

What's your thoughts on wild west tien and yamcha?

oh thats good :) thats very good :)) there’s a lot of flavors here hol up we gon divide this into categories because i have a lot of thoughts

like. a lot. OOPS :)

Conman Tien/Bartender Yamcha:

-Yamcha’s a simple guy who wants to live a simple life and regularly hops from job. It’s not that he’s a terrible employee, far from it- he just likes to try things out.

-By the time Tien and Chiaotzu swing by town, he’s working at the saloon and doing a good job at minding his business.

-It’s relatively quiet and nothing seems amiss- for a while.

-It’s not until a band of horses are let loose in town and cause chaos that things start to get fishy. At the initial incident, Tien and Chiaotzu were timely in rangling the horses together and ensuring the town was preserved from any more damage, even making it a point that they regularly provide services that help towards these kind of incidents and any one was free to see them should they need help.

-However more incidents arose- incidents far too big for anyone else in town to handle, thus leading to the majority of folks seeking the services of Tien and Chiaotzu.

-Yamcha, himself having been a former desert bandit, is fairly quick to see when a scheme’s on the prowl. He doesn’t confront the two directly- not until they enter his saloon on a rather dreary night.

Bandit Yamcha/Sheriff Tien:

-Tien was taken under the care of his town’s mayor Shen and his brother Tao and for the most part had lived a dishonest life, manipulated by the pair to keep the town on a tight leash.

-It isn’t until Tien is ordered to “speak with” a traveling hermit about some late payments that Tien is given the opportunity to really consider his place in life, and with the help of his little brother Chiaotzu the pair decide that they don’t have to listen to Shen and Tao anymore and opt to work on making their town a better place for everyone.

-It takes a lot of time and trust-rebuilding but Tien is able to assemble an underground rebellion and Shen and Tao are eventually run out of office. While a questionable choice at first, Chiaotzu was appointed the new mayor (even if most of his decisions were mandated and looked over by Tien in actuality) meanwhile Tien would take care of the town’s legal issues as sheriff.

-Cut to years later when a new shady player comes into town. He traveled on foot- and light, with only a sack on his back, and a peculiar cat as his seemingly-only ally.

-Yamcha doesn’t cause too much ruckus- actually, the townspeople are quick to grow fond of him (if anything, his good looks were a big part in that adoration) and more often than not are happy to see him.

-Tien doesn’t pay him much mind, only ever giving him curt greetings when passing him. But once people start to approach him with complaints of belongings missing, he becomes suspicious.

-The next time Tien runs into Yamcha is at the saloon late at night, when patrons are few the bartender looks about ready to go home. Never one to shirk from the situation at hand, Tien is direct and asks Yamcha if he has anything to do with people’s belongings going missing.

-To the accusation, Yamcha offers a smirk, leaning in and asking for clarification. Tien was ready to be more direct when he notices Yamcha throw a few coins onto the counter, seeing his own wallet in his hands.

-That was all Tien was able to process before the wallet was lazily thrown back into his lap and Yamcha began to leave, casting him a taunting wink before he left through the saloon’s doors.

Criminal Duo Tien and Yamcha:

-How Tien and Yamcha meet isn’t exactly clear, but what would become clear is that the small quartet of the pair and their small friends fit together like puzzle pieces.

-While Tien and Chiaotzu were concerned with daytime schemes, usually taken in the form of sweet talking strangers into hiring them for tasks, Yamcha was usually left to clean up at night and haggle any remaining townspeople for cash. Once done with a town, they’d saddle up and move right on to the next one, the residents usually having little clue the duo worked together in the first place.

-If they were feeling particularly bored, they would stage a fight- Yamcha, the villainous bandit terrorizing the town, and Tien, the generous mercenary of whom would save the people. With a performance like that, not only would they receive a rather generous payment from scared townspeople, but the two would get to have a little fun fighting each other.

As for what it was... it was just betrayal.. lying. for six+ years. lots of laughing at me.

San Rafael; Work Away

Stop #3, December 21-January 7

Our time in San Rafael was very relaxing, thrilling, and interesting. Some days we spent doing little to nothing, which was nice for a few days but too boring for me at some points. Other days Sean and I did some awesome activities pushing us both way out of our comfort zones. Lastly, we experienced authentic Colombian culture first hand. Being there for holidays and festivals meant we were there for some of the most quiet and exciting days of the year.

When we arrived on Saturday we had no idea what to expect. This stop being our first WorkAway, we wondered…what work would we be doing? How many hours were expected of us? Are any meals included? For that first day we hung out and enjoyed the beautiful location at the hostel, which is located on a steep hill, completely open and overlooking the city. It’s totally lush and absolutely beautiful. The view alone is a reason to spend all day in the hostel relaxing. 

There are 3 people who own the hostel, all Colombian, and all in their 20’s. Lili was there when we arrived, Manuel arrived the next day (Sunday), and Laura arrived after spending Christmas with her family in Medellin. Immediately after arriving Sean and I fell in love with their cat Canela, which is “cinnamon” in Spanish. We thought she was a kitten because she isn’t full sized, but it turns out she is an old lady! She lived on the property with the previous owner, who was thought to be not very kind to her. When Lili, Laura, and Manuel bought the place about a year ago, Canela was pregnant with a dead litter. They paid to have them surgically removed, and since then Canela has been their beloved pet. She is so cuddly and sweet. She jumps on your lap for pets or a nap, and she answer to your calls. She’s the kind of cat that acts like a dog. We immediately fell in love with her. It’s not like we are trying to fill a void or anything... :)

When Manuel arrived on Sunday we discussed the work we would be doing; we would redo the kitchen (and it really needed it) and lunch would be provided. We started making plans for this work Monday morning. I was going to repaint the kitchen and organize it differently while Sean would build some cabinet doors and shelves. Our work load was different each day. Sometimes we felt good with the work we were doing that we spent hours doing it. Other days we did little to nothing. Either way, Leidy and Karen came every morning to clean the hostel, and during our first week Leidy cooked us lunch too. And wow did she cook us the most delicious healthy food!!!

Leidy and Karen live in the same building as the hostel/language school in a separate apartment. Leidy is probably in her late 30’s or early 40’s, and Karen is her 10 year old daughter. Neither of them spoke a word of english, but they quickly became a big part of our trip in San Rafael. Since Karen was off from school she came to help her mom cook and clean every morning. One morning I was doing some henna on hands and legs when Karen told me “linda!” which means “cute” or “pretty” in Spanish. I asked her if she wanted one, and when she said yes I told her to ask her mom first. Next thing you know, I was giving henna tattoos to both Karen and Leidy; mandala type flowers on their legs and their names written on their wrists. I wish I took a photo of this, but I didn’t :(. I did however take a picture of my henna, and finally took a picture with Leidy and Karen on our last day.

From then on, Karen and I would hang out together almost every morning. She would help me study Spanish while also helping her mom work. I would pull up a new vocabulary word I wanted to learn from an app on my phone, and she and I would practice using that word in a sentence. She would then correct my awful grammar before moving on to the next new word. Some evenings after that I saw Karen and Leidy hanging out outside or walking into town. We always talked and all made efforts to communicate as much as possible. My broken Spanish was enough to connect with both of them, but what it really highlighted was that you don’t need to speak the same language to express love and kindness.

Over Christmas Eve we joined Lili’s boyfriend, Brandon, at his house where he was hosting a BBQ. And that’s exactly how Colombians celebrate Christmas; they BBQ on the street with beers and loud music. And they were kind enough to grill lots of veggies for me :)

During our time in San Rafael we experienced some epic thunder storms. It rained almost every night, and being in a hostel where the common area is wide open made the storms so fun. Normally when we went into town we did so in the evening and nights, only because the days were so hot, and so walking up and down the hills to the city center was a bit warm… but, every time we went out at night it was like a guessing game if we would get poured on. Every night was cloudy, so there was really no telling. It made it a little more fun :) I love rain in warm weather! 

Another day, after working and panting in the morning, we went to the nearest watering hole for a quick swim. Lili’s mom was in town, so we went together plus Bendzhi, a Chinese girl staying at our hostel long term. The watering hole was amazing for people watching. So many locals go there to cool off and swim. Kids ands dogs run around everywhere while vendors sell snacks from fresh fruit to churros. I wish I had photos, but it was better to bring little to nothing since we were ditching our stuff to go swimming.

Steve was another guy at our hostel, probably in his mid 40’s, and from Canada. We spent a good amount of time with him, especially after hiking to a waterfall with him, and Manuel. The hike was pretty short but beautiful. We walked right by horses and cows/bulls before approaching the waterfall.

Just before NYE Lili left to spend time in San Carlos, another town about an hour west, for the next month or so. Laura and Manuel both went to meet Manuel’s family, and so Sean and I had the hostel to ourselves. We went out in town and hung out at a bar until midnight, when everyone got up to hug and kiss each other. Soon after Sean and I went home to hit the hay. Neither of us were feeling great (my throat was sore and he had an allergy attack), plus we don’t particularly care much for this holiday.  

Something I loved about staying at this hostel was that on most days a group of small monkeys would come looking for food. Of course we bought bananas in preparation of this, and fed them quite often. They are so small and so cute!!! They would call at us until we fed them their beloved bananas.

The most exciting thing we did during our time in San Rafael was a canyoneering trip with Manuel, his sister Julianna, and her husband Freddy. We hiked to a spot along a river, got into wet suits and harnesses, and began our decent in the river. We slid down the rocks, jumped off cliffs, and repelled our way through the river. Sean’s fear of heights kicked in during the last part of the activity. But, there we were.. and there was no turning back! This trip was short, but seriously one of the coolest things we’ve done. We were so high on life from the awesome adventure it was!

Another day Manuel and Laura invited us on a fishing trip again with his sister and brother in law. We fished along a river, and although Sean and I both didn’t catch anything we still enjoyed the experience very much. Colorful birds where flying all around us, calling out to each other, and it was really beautiful to watch. Eventually we made our way to a waterfall where we “parked” our boats to go explore. We climbed to the top of the waterfall where we found a beautiful swimming hole to enjoy all to ourselves. We explored deeper, climbing up the next small waterfall. It was absolutely stunning, and easily the highlight of the fishing trip. We swam and jumped off the rocks (don’t worry- Manuel, a certified guide, checked to see that they were safe first) while enjoying all the beauty around us.

The next day we had the opportunity to visit a Panela farm, watching its production from start to finish. Panela is the natural sweetener widely used here in Colombia, and I think a lot of Latin America. It comes in thick blocks that are chipped at and use as sweeter for many of their drinks, specifically chocolate (the drink) and natural juice. We started by crushing the sugarcane using a machine, followed by a long cleaning process to purify the juice before it crystalizes into a sugar. The colombian family that owns the farm has been making Panela all their lives. The whole operation is run between 4 siblings; 3 brothers and 1 sister, all in their 70’s. The abuela welcomed us into her beautiful home and made us breakfast, and then lunch once it got late enough in the afternoon. I am so grateful to have been welcomed to this family’s farm and home with arms open wide. The love they put into this work, and the history behind it all makes it so special. For so many reasons this day was one I will never forget.

One of the last events that went on while we were gone (and yes, wow, a lot has really happened) was Festivo del Rio, festival of the river. We are not sure how the name is related to the celebrations, but what we do know is that this small town fills up with tons of Colombians from all over the country to come celebrate this festival at San Rafael. Restaurants were packed, the hostel we stayed at was fully booked, and the streets were crowded with happy people. On Friday night we watched part of the parade, where structures of mythical creatures ran the streets breathing fire and pure fun.

At the beginning of this post I wrote that times during this leg of the trip I was bored, yet I didn’t get to writing any of this post until the bus ride out of town. I didn’t realize how many special experiences we had until it was time to write about it. But thats exactly why I do this :)

And now that I am writing this while on the bus leaving San Rafael, it feels bitter sweet to leave. This town is so authentically Colombian. The only other English speakers we met were 3 others from our hostel, one Canadian, one American, and one Chinese who spoke English fluently. Saying goodbye was so sweet, as Laura told me that seeing my face is like getting a dose a diabetes. There’s a bit of a language barrier there.. but what she was saying is that I’m so sweet and she feels that every time she sees my face 😂. As for Leidy and Karen... well Leidy starting to cry. I told her “I miss you” in Spanish because I have no idea how to speak in future tense to say “I will miss you”. Karen, her 10 year old daughter who was my best friend on this leg of the trip, gave me hugs goodbye. I will miss practicing Spanish with her very much. She actually knows how to explain things to me better than the adults!

Anyway, I am so looking forward to Josh’s arrival! This is just the start of what I think will be a very fun month with friends (Sam and Victoria next week) and then my mom and cousin Maria in Cartagena! 

Thanks for reading fam, love you all.

okay but consider this... supeRHERO/crimefighter au’s.

muse a and muse b going to a random house party. they’d never met before, but after feeling unwell, they both step outside for air... its only then that muse a drunkenly wanders into the road, almost to be hit by a car, but instead, sticking an arm out and propelling it into oblivion. meanwhile, muse b is standing on the side of the road crying hysterically and trying to figure out why everyone is ignoring them, only to realize they’re invisible. muse a is freaking out that they may have killed someone, and now thinks theyre going crazy when they hear muse b crying and asking why this is happening, thinking its voice in their head, until they realize its not their voice. after muse a talks muse b to a calm state, muse b now in sight, the pair realize something very bad has happened to them, and pair up for the night. once they wake up muse a is on the news for what happened and muse b decides they need to get out of town, both of them

muse a wandering into a bar after having the worst headaches for months when suddenly their vision gets blurry and they can hear what everyone is thinking. from their drink orders, to their sexual tension, and they cant make it stop. muse b, the bar tender, sees the conflicted and panicked muse a  and tries to calm them down. thats when muse a realizes the only mind they cant read is muse b and decide to drag them home to try and understand whats going on. optional: muse b having some kind of superpower, and helping muse a figure out how to handle it

muse a waking up one morning floating above their bed, and in a panic reach for the phone that in turn flies across the room. out of no where, they can move objects, and themselves without the lift of a finger. its all going well until their roommate, muse b walks in on the other floating and making breakfast from the couch without moving, and proceeds to scream and throw the floating food at muse a

two newfound vigilante superheros are likely rivals, and try to fight and race one another to crime scenes. muse a and muse b have contradicting powers, and personalities. it doesnt take long for their rivalry to turn into admiration and muse a finds themselves saving muse b’s ass more than they should, and muse b finds themselves cleaning up muse a’s wounds more than they like to. of course, this rivalry turns to friendship, and the ultimate dynamic duo. (or trio/quartet if you want it to be poly) and now instead of muse a focusing on if they knocked out a villian, they find themselves making sure that muse b is getting up after that hard hit and muse b is spending too much time calculating muse a’s moves to kill than their own and ending up on the floor more than they usually do. 

muse a  and muse b  are both seen as heros in the public eye, but to one another as villains. muse a thinks that muse b  is too violent and muse b thinks that muse a is too reckless. while the pair try to undermine one another, and reveal their ‘bad’ sides to everyone else, they actually end up complimenting one another, the public now ‘shippjng’ them and wondering if they work together. of course both muse a and muse b are appalled at this idea, until muse a finds themselves saving muse b’s life and noticing just how beautiful their eyes are, and now muse a is leaving clues and hints around the city for muse b to come find them until they wear them down and convince them to date, but not before revealing themselves optional 1: muse a and muse b were already lovers and now realize they wasted all their time hating one another when they could have worked together optional 2: muse a and muse b are best friends, and have been since childhood... how did they not notice this before? and why are they sort of in love now?

muse a and muse b have been protecting their city together for years. they train together, live together, fight together, and know one another better than they know themselves. its all fun and games until one training session that gets them in close contact makes muse a realize that they might have been in love with muse b this whole time.. and they’re torn if they should tell them and risk having a wonderful romance, and keep saving all the good people of their city option 1: muse b has been in love with muse a for longer, and everyone on their team knew but muse a and when muse a tells the team, they all laugh and shake their heads option 2: muse b is already dating someone on their team, and muse a knows that admitting their feelings could break their entire team up, which in essence would put their city at risk... but is their heart worth it? option 3: muse b is already in a relationship, and is unhappy, but only muse a knows that they’re unhappy. so, muse a finally confesses their feelings only to find out that muse b is engaged/eloped/pregnant, and made things incredibly awkward, and they’re incredibly heartbroken too

muse a and muse b on the same superhero team, and have been for years. they go out every day together and save the city from evil, or save cat’s from burning buildings. its what they do, its who they are. over time muse b falls in love with muse a, and after a particularly hard fight when they’re cleaning up and close together, finally confess their feelings and kiss muse a. besides muse a’s shock, they suddenly feel different, and run out afraid. it’s not until the next morning, when they go to fight that muse b realizes they lost their powers, and somehow, muse a managed to get them. muse b doesn’t say anything, just says they feel sick, and muse a doesnt notice the new power, assuming that muse b is just avoiding them. its not until weeks of blowing them off, that muse a finally shows up angry and hurt, having not seen one another since they kissed that they see muse b who is distraught, run down, and clearly different. muse b finally tells them what happened, and when muse a asks why they didn’t tell them sooner, muse b tells them its because they were better, the both of them combined and doing such a wonderful job. muse b didn’t feel needed by anyone anymore, and making an assumption that their feelings werent reciprocated, that they were too embarrassed to come around. muse a kissed muse b, giving them their powers back, and asking them out. of course, after calling them a ‘dummy’

muse a finding a struggling and confused muse b as they try to figure their powers out. of course, muse a being a local hero, and having a whole team behind them takes muse b under their wing. teaching them the tricks, training, and bringing them into the team. muse b feels like they’d found a whole new family, one where they fit in now. muse a and muse b become the dynamic duo, until of course muse b starts taking risks that muse a  absolutely  did not train muse b  to be so reckless and do, and muse b fires back that they dont have to listen to all their rules, what does it matter anyways? and of course, being met with muse a yelling at them about how much they care, kissing them and running out. muse b doesnt necessarily have to feel the same, but now realizes why they’re so protective. does this ruin the partnership? does muse b feel the same? do they go on to be even better? or does romance get in the way?

muse a is maybe one of the worst superheros ever. while they always manage to catch bad guys, they almost always suffer worse damage. they may catch the guy who kidnapped a bunch of kids, but accidentally got impaled. they may stop superhuman bank robbers, but they totally didnt mean to break both of their legs. muse b, however, knows what theyre doing. they got the job fast, and well, and they always catch who they need too. they’re ideal, and the kids love them, while the kids love muse a as more of an underdog. muse b finds muse a’s clumsiness endearing, and finds themselves helping muse a from getting hurt, but not stealing their thunder. eventually muse b  is helping muse a be more stealthy, and balanced, and teaches them to use their powers better. this just pushes muse a into more and more danger, and muse b can’t figure out why that feels like a bad thing, of course, until they realize they are in love with muse a, and all of their stupid, and unnecessary injuries option 1: muse a catches on quick to the training, but worries they’ll lose muse b if they get good. so, they might put themselves in the face of danger more often than they should  option 2: muse b getting sick and tired of muse a being so god damn reckless when all they have to do is listen to them and dont you even care how much i love you why are you trying to get yourself killed?

50 questions about Sky

No one asked, but here it is. Check under the cut:

Name: Sky Sweet(Viva Pinata Universe)

1. What does their bedroom look like?

>Plain. They have a king sized bed. The room was painted in a forest-y scene. They have a bathroom thats clean and a closet of clothes(they prefer their heart shirt and jeans). 

2. Do they have any daily rituals?

>They wake up, go downstairs and have coffee or tea(or nothing. depends). Care for any pinatas or animals or people needing care at the time in their house before showering, brushing their teeth, and getting ready for their day.

3.Do they exercise, and if so, what do they do? How often?

>Never, unless to keep up appearances. Their inhuman strength is just a natural extension of their less-than-human-ness

4.What would they do if they needed to make dinner but the kitchen was busy?

>Sky’s kitchen is never busy, and they don’t need to eat. But if for some reason they needed to cook for someone and the kitchen is busy, they’ll force themselves in there

5.Cleanliness habits (personal, workspace, etc.)

>Extreme hypocritical cleanliness. Bathes at least twice daily, makes sure there’s nothing dirty in their house. But habitually leaves dirty clothes in their laundry room to forget about. Don’t talk about the dishes. If they’re out working they don’t care as much.

6.Eating habits and sample daily menu

>They don’t eat if they don’t have to or want to. They don’t mind drinking stuff, but food? Eh. They eat if it suits them or if they need to seem More Human

7.Favorite way to waste time and feelings surrounding wasting time?

>Wastes time exploring and studying the land. They have numerous unreadable journals going on about life and plants and everything on Pinata Island. As well they may waste time in the…. Company of others or starting fights if they’re in a sour mood. Maybe drown sorrows at a bar or in the middle of the forest. They don’t mind themselves or others wasting time.

8. Favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging?

>Ahem. Again, the company of others. They find it enjoyable and encourage others to enjoy their life how they see fit. 

9. Makeup?

>Doesn’t know how to use it in human form. Used to be your basic emo in feline form.

10. Neuroses? Do they recognize them as such?

>Some residual depression and PSTD. Not as bad as it once was, but sometimes it flares up.

11. Intellectual pursuits?

>As much as possible. Eternity is boring and long, why not learn stuff while you’re waiting for the end of existence?

12. Favorite book genre?

>None. Reads whatever

13. Sexual Orientation? And, regardless of own orientation, thoughts on sexual orientation in general?

>Pansexual! Just fine with anyone being anything.

14. Physical abnormalities? (Both visible and not, including injuries/disabilities, long-term illnesses, food-intolerances, etc.)

>Able to shapeshift, obviously. If they chose to they have ‘vitiligo scars’ and they have sharp teeth in their human form. As well as a tail. Their hair ‘naturally’ grows in blue, but they may claim that they dye it to avoid scrutiny. Their eyes are cat like, and in times of high emotion or weakness they may lose control of their shapeshifting and gain feline/demonic traits.

15. Biggest and smallest short term goal?

>Biggest: Hatch the Dragonache eggs they have. Leo needs siblings! Smallest: fix that fucking fence those pinatas keep breaking

16. Biggest and smallest long term goal?

>Biggest: continue exploring and gaining information on the island as well as maintain their garden. Smallest: Maybe find a relationship? Who knows. They’re fine with their current situation,

17. Preferred mode of dress and rituals surrounding dress

>Simple, but they don’t mind dressing up. As gender neutral as possible, usually ends up masculine leaning. They like their paw boots, their gloves, mask, jeans, and heart shirt. They’ll wear a lot of things though.

18. Favorite beverage?

> Coffee, Tea, or Alcohol. All of which are residual habits.

19. What do they think about before falling asleep at night?

>If they can fall asleep, they’re probably thinking about their original universe, past ‘lives’, what to do tomorrow.

20. Childhood illnesses? Any interesting stories behind them?

>Was never a child in the VP universe.

21. Turn-ons? Turn-offs?

>Sky prefers to share those with partners. 

22. Given a blank piece of paper, a pencil, and nothing to do, what would happen?

>Sky might jot down things in one of their original languages, sketch things they remember, or just ask for something to do. 

23. How organized are they? How does this organization/disorganization manifest in their everyday life?

>As organized as possible! They carry around the same things, obsessively straighten things or move things to the right spot, and might spend time fixing something they already fixed in order to feel some control.

24. Is there one subject of study that they excel at? Or do they even care about intellectual pursuits at all?

>Not particularly. At least not human subjects. Magic is a great skill of theirs, but they limit it to their “calming” magic so it specifically works on pinatas and animals.

25. How do they see themselves 5 years from today?

>back home maybe, or still on Pinata Island living a life and studying.

26. Do they have any plans for the future? Any contingency plans if things don't workout?

>Not particularly. Eternity is a long time.

27. What is their biggest regret?

>Oof. On pinata island? Probably getting into a fight with someone and permanently hurting them. Or hurting them beyond their sort of idea of how it’s okay to hurt them. Original world? Dying.

28. Who do they see as their best friend? Their worst enemy?

>On the island, they get along well with Petula and Leafos and their family. Costalot and Sky would brawl if they ever crossed paths probably. 

29. Reaction to sudden extrapersonal disaster (eg The house is on fire! What do they do?)

>Unless it results in the hurt or death of say a person/animal or the permanent death of a pinata, they don’t mind. Things can be replaced! People, animals, and pinata? Not so much.

30. Reaction to sudden intrapersonal disaster (eg close family member suddenly dies)

>Sky’s for sure gonna blame themself if at all applicable. They’ll grieve and move on eventually though. They always do.

31. Most prized possession?

>None, materials don’t matter. But they would like to keep these interesting packets of seemingly infinite grass, sand, and snow. They’re neat!

32. Thoughts on material possessions in general?

>Mortals seem to care about them, so they try to remember how to care about it for them. Really doesn’t matter to them though.

33. Concept of home and family?

>Searching desperately for a permanent one, but they know that’s impossible. They’ve got Sherbet in their universe though, thats all that matters.

34. Thoughts on privacy? (Are they a private person, or are they prone to 'TMI?)

>Doesn’t care about privacy much at all. They’ll tell people who ask that they’re supernatural and a shapeshifter and immortal and whatever, but they likely won’t admit to being a demon. If someone smart might put 2 and 2 together they’ll avoid telling about anything unnatural about themselves at all. 

35. What activities do they enjoy, but consider to be a waste of time?

>None, they don’t find wasting time an issue.

36. What makes them feel guilty?

>Unnecessary cruelty or being unable to help or save someone. Fighting does not count as an unnecessary cruelty though. Bloody noses and broken bones can be fun and consensual sometimes.

37. Are they more analytical or more emotional in their decision-making?

>Both. If it’s something very important, they’ll think it over. Most of the time they’re emotional, preferring the spur of the moment decisions to help or maybe beat the crap out of someone. 

38. Would they consider themselves a Type A or Type B personality?

>Type B? I dunno :/

39. What recharges them when they're feeling drained?

>Sleep, going out, exploring. Who knows

40. Would you say that they have a superiority-complex? Inferiority-complex? Neither?

>Superiority complex. Vainest mfer. Really trying to stop being so high and mighty but… not always successful.

41. How misanthropic are they?

>Eh. They find seculusion the easiest but sometimes you must go out on the town to just fuck around with people. It’s fun!

42. Hobbies?

>Studying stuff!

43. How far did they get in formal education? What are their views on formal education vs self-education?

>A highschool equivalent in their original world, none on the island. 

44. Religion?

>Yes. All of them. In their world, there was no real wrong answer! These uncertain universes scare them some though, they really rely on hope?!

45. Superstitions or views on the occult?

>Yes! All of it also. Listen…. Their original world is Wild. Also magic does exist on the island.

46. Do they express their thoughts through words or deeds?

>Both, but prefers action

47. If they were to fall in love, who (or what) is their ideal?

>Anyone. As long as they’re willing to put up with Sky. But they have a tendency to fall for those who are scary looking and could probably beat them up because who doesn’t like a little danger?

48. How do they express love?

>All sorts of ways! Keen on physical affection and gifts. Good luck getting those three words out of them though

49. If this person were to get into a fist fight, what is their fighting style like?

>Professional, but extremely unethically brutal. Sure it’s above the belt, but They Did Just Purposefully Break Your Nose. And kick you really hard in the side.

>Done it a lot. Already technically dead. Bring it on baby!
