2 for Sara, 8 for Mirabelle, 22 for Dakota, 30 for Jicama, and 38 for da Soutman!

Sara - Can your oc play any instruments? Have they ever wanted to learn how to play any? Why? A) She could play an instrument as much as someone who hasn't learned how could. When she was still at home with her family, there was one effort to have her learn piano, and that only lasted for that one day [She wasn't allowed near it again]. As far as maybe wanting to learn now? I could consider her maybe learning Maracas. It'dve helped her maybe during her dances, but I think she'd just enjoy the hell outta performing with them. Mirabelle - Does your oc prefer being in a crowd or being completely alone? How many people can be around them before they get uncomfortable? A) I think she likes being around folks. When she was younger, she'd get lonely, so she always had a caretaker who'd stick around and watch over her. I think what makes it a problem is when there's really big house party levels of people [so like more than 20 people], OR when the house itself / overall space is small. I can absolutely see her though going out to watch a concert with somebody and enjoying the crowd atmosphere though! Dakota - How quiet or loud is your oc? Are they easily capable of sneaking around without being heard, or do they feel it’s impossible to stop talking? A) Dakota is fairly quiet when he wants to be. If anything, I think they kinda suffer the same problem I do when he either gets excited or angry that he will get louder. Sometimes he can catch it before he does, but not always. Aside from that though, you'll know they're in deep into something when you can hear their heavy metal through from headphones. Jicama - How much does your oc swear? Or do they keep completely clean? Why is this? Is there any situation where they would be the opposite? A) Swearing is a very casual thing when it comes to Jicama's speech, but its never done in excess, mainly cause he doesn't feel the need to. I think the only time he'll never outright do it is if there's a kid around, but he isn't perfect. Soutman - How energetic is your oc? Do they have trouble sitting still or do they feel low on juice all the time? Any reason why? A) Oscar has quite a bit of energy, but has learned ways to manage it. When he was younger, he thought he was invincible like the energizer bunny due to managing to help out during dinner time with his family, but when he was rolling with his first bandmates, he was finding himself overextending. So for as much as he would be excited to do everything presented to him, he has learned to say no when his plate is full.

(SA)

"Look Abuela!" Mirabel and Camilo raced over, the only grandson of the family (for now but Bruno wasn't going to spoil that surprise) making sure his baby cousin didn't trip or fall.

Camilo was far too young to remember his Tia and Tio but he saw how Mirabel was always smaller and sicker than him. He saw how protective and caring the family was, how much they fretted over the fragile little girl, and he mimicked their behavior. It was adorable honestly.

"What's this Mira, Cami?" Alma immediately gave her youngest grandchildren her full attention, ignoring the farmer in front of her who had flagged her down to talk about something to do with Pepa. Honestly Alma probably would have punched him if the kids hadn't showed up.

Glancing up Alma noticed Felix and Isabela a little ways behind the two, having been watching them today.

"Cami and Isa helped me make mamas day cards! Here's yours!" Mirabel said the four year old beaming up at her Abuela brightly and holding up a brightly decorated drawing that had Happy Mami's day written on it in crayon and the two had somehow put glitter on it as well.

"I hope you like it!"

HELP I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

Cami cares so much aboutMirabel, it’s unreal <3 I just know he’s always helping her out, and Mira always tries to return the favor in anyway she could 😭

Totally should have let Alma deck that farmer in the face, I know I would have 💀💀 by anger issues would have gotten the better of me 🗿👊

Sara 👻, Soutman 🍰, Dakota 🌏, Mirabelle ✂️ and Jicama 🏊!

Q: Sara 👻 GHOST - do they believe in ghosts? what are their "ghostly experiences", if any? A: I think she doesn't really believe in ghosts, but she has had one very weird experience she never got a good explanation for. So once upon a time, there was a period of her life after having left her home she had lived on a boat for a while with her uncle and her uncle's crew. She earned her spot there by going around, doing the odd job of finding tools, cleaning, and checking on problem areas for the ship maintenance team. As the months go by, she's sorta cemented herself as a reliable person amongst the people on the ship. In comes this new shipment of items, and as night rolls around, one of the maintenance crew is working on the light systems on the topside of the boat, and she's there to basically be the light. She then starts to hear some weird creaking from in the cargo stacks, mentioning it only to receive a "eh that's just the boat's bones." Fast forward a bit to the guy asking her to run back to maintenance to get some supplies for him to finish up on this repair, and she ends up getting spooked on the way there. She's navigating through the stacks before seeing one of the doors having creaked open, and, in the very pitch blackness of it, she sees a pair of glowing eyes inside. This freaks her out, causing her to fumble her flashlight, and SOMETHING to have ran from that cargo container, past her. She attempts to give chase, but it only leads her to the edge of the boat, and the water that's down beneath. She thought that, whatever it was, it ended up going overboard, but she never really heard a splash that night. After coming back with the supplies, and some of the crew rallying to check on the open container, there was no sign of anything "living" having been in there.

Q: Soutman 🍰 CAKE SLICE - favourite cake flavour? are they specific about types of cakes?

A: Lemon Cake! As far as what type of lemon cake, or if its more of just a "what type of cake" he enjoys more than others, I don't think he's terribly picky. Q: Dakota 🌏 EARTH - will they give up the world for someone they love? is this decision easy for them?

A: After some time of thinking on this, I'd have to say that he feels like he's already done so. [ This, of course, happening before his reunion with Paolo. ] He was, after having graduated with his degree in Chemistry, going planning on going right into the field, but he was pulled away to come back to his family and work at the winery. The regrets of that decision have started to settle in to a certain degree. He loves his family, but he doesn't feel like he's grown beyond them. Now if he had to do something similar for Paolo? It would depend on the situation. I don't know it he would be as easily able to make the same decision having already done so. If it came down to it though, I think he could give up his world for him, but it'd hurt like heck.

Mirabelle ✂️- what is the "last straw" for them to cut someone out of their life? how easily do they let go of people?

If you're a sour sort of grumpy person, she wouldn't give up on you. If you've done something real bad, she'll give you a chance, and maybe a second one too if you're trying. If you're someone who is straight up terrible, and just don't care, she will drop you faster than she dunks rotten apples. This part of her ended up developing a couple years before she ended up leaving her Sourdough family name to live with Wilbur. The patience and willingness to give people a chance though, only grew from her time living with him during the years after. To drop someone out of her life means that the person has not shown a willingness to change their behavior, and has constantly been of ill repute character. As far as how easily it'd be? It'd depend on how close they were and for how long, and how they're behaving now. It certainly wouldn't be as hard as when she left her family though.

Jicama 🏊 SWIMMING - can they swim? or are they afraid of water? how well do they swim? how do they feel about swimming in the ocean?

Jicama has an interesting relationship with water.... Jicama certainly knows how to swim, but only ever does so to guarantee getting out of or into some form of safety from it. His fear of water only ever shows up when its the ocean, or a similarly big body of water that he can't see any safety or shoreline. He will, more often than not, just sort of shut down and float if he can't reach safety. He couldn't tell you why it happens, that he just gets paralyzed like that, but what I'd tell you is that it's cause of how he ended up surviving while escaping Limbo.

🎂 For Sara, Jicama, Dakota, Mirabelle and Soutman!

🎂 Sara - For being a bit of a hardass stripper, She’s a massive ship nerd, and owns quite a few books on the building and design of old and modern boats, as well as other historical nautical exploits.

🎂 Jicama - Considering his memory is mostly swiss cheese, and being that he’s an insomnia afflicted shade of sorts, Jicama is a bit of a weird one. I think what surprises folks, as well as himself, is that he’s multi-lingual. He, as well as others, managed to catch himself speaking in English, Dutch, Portugese, French, and Mandarin.

🎂 Dakota - He listens to Heavy Metal, and will listen to it on blast when he’s studying. Miraculously, He doesn't have tinnitus yet. 

🎂 Mirabelle - For being a sweet grandma cat, you might not expect her to be a hothead from time to time. On top of that, ever since she heard “Lets get this bread” she’s adopted it into her vernacular. Both of these, I’ll say, sort of stem from her youthful energetic attitude which expresses itself in many a ways.

🎂 Soutman - Oscar is actually a decent cook. Unless its going out to eat at like a restaurant, or if he doesn't have groceries, he cooks his own meals. When he was starting out in the band, he could cook for his mates. Now whether or not this is contradictory to the idea of a singer for the time/aesthetic he sort of lived in is up for debate, but its something I think he manages to pull on folks to surprise em.
