Do straight(and people who like the opposite gender) people seriously meet someone new, say I like you, and then bag a date all in the span of an hour?

Cus I am baffled.

hey, it's mercury from @mercuryasksquestions!

does your character have or want pets? if so, what kind of pet do they want/have?

Just gonna answer rapid fire whoever comes to mind.

Charlie Gilmore doesn't have any pets until his mom gets a dog when he's 15. He wouldn't say no to one but he's also aware of why they (he his mom and sister) can't have one. Since he's still at home Paul Anka counts as his though.

Celia De Vil has never wanted a pet due to her mother being Cruella De Vil.

Henry Mariano takes in the cat that Lorelai and Sookie find the day of the fire at the independence inn. He names him Frodo.

Millie Winchester has always wanted a dog but having a hunter's life has just never been able to have one.

hi, it's mercury from @mercuryasksquestions!!

write a paragraph of your character venting. what do they talk about? what's heavy on their mind? what do they complain about?

(full credits for that question go to @/random-oc-questions-fairy's ask game! not tagging her so as to not give her a notif)

Jake is feckin’ tired, man. Days are going by slower and slower, like time has been turning into molasses. Churning like butter by hand and exhausting him into a sluggish shadow of a person. Can’t one day just go by without feeling like Father Time is holding back the hands of life’s clock?

He just wants to get to the end. What end? Whichever one ends his pain and suffering.

for whichever character you want to talk about, which person would they murder/injure if given the opportunity?

hmmm there are definitely a few that i could go with for this!

hirsch would absolutely kill szivar if given the opportunity, considering all the shit he did to cygnus when the two of them were in a relationship (and even after that). the only reason he hasnt is because cygnus doesnt want him to, and his love for cygnus comes before his hatred for szivar... though he does eventually get the satisfaction of seeing that asshole get his just desserts

next is dieoto! while she isnt really concerned with things like revenge, i definitely think she would take the opportunity if it were to arise. she misses her old “family” quite a lot after all, and someone has to be responsible! so if she managed to meet the troll that was behind it, i dont think she would even consider holding back

(also less realistic i think tiaria should get to go batshit on someone, even if thats not really something theyd do. just as a lil fun. as a treat <3)

hi, its mercury from @mercuryasksquestions!! thank you for summoning me once again, apparently i havent been summoned in 24 days lol

in a friend group, what role would your oc(s) take? (the parent friend, the innocent friend, the partygoer, etc) why would they take that role?

Heyo! Thank you for the ask!

I'll do this for everyone with little explanation for each:

Parent Friend: Michelle and Dave. Michelle is the mom friend in general, it's just how she is, and Dave used to be a father, so he tries to relive that by being the parent.

Innocent Friend: Chris and Sein. Literal children, the most innocent of everyone. (K) is supposed to fall under this category but he doesn't-

The Partygoer: Carlos and Hope (and Danny to an extent). They're all the adventurous type, and they always drag the others everywhere (usually dangerous "everywhere"s)

The One This 👌 Close To Disowning Everyone and Abandoning Them: Lace and (K), and Riley a little. Everyday they wonder what exact life choice got them to meet the other idiots.

hey, it's mercury from @mercuryasksquestions!

what proverb or phrase does your character perceive as stupid, and why do they think that?

Hjordis is a firm disbeliever in “Respect your elders.” Having been a general in her past she is very humble and understands that respect is earned, not given.

[iviin-855]

hey, it's mercury from @mercuryasksquestions! if you didnt mean to summon me, ignore this.

which aesthetic(s) describes your character(s) best, and why?

Naidara: an unholy mix of goblin and cottagecore

Miles: voidpunk after he finally grows a brain and does his redemtion arc

Tybalt: somewhere between mountain hiker and those people on trapezes

[theforsakenprince]

hey, it's mercury from @mercuryasksquestions!

for whichever character you want to answer this for, what is their favorite memory?

I’ll do Wren for this one since I don’t talk about him much

Wren’s favorite memory is probably meeting his first real friend (Wyvern) and later on making more friends that ended up being in his fireteam!

[tomfev]

hey, it's mercury from @mercuryasksquestions!

what is your character's favorite word, and why is that their favorite word?

tysm!!!! thom$on’s favorite word has to be cash. first of all, it means money, which is his favorite thing, second of all, it has an S in it, so he can write it with an $ instead. finally, it’s fun to say! for all these reasons, he called his gang ca$h money and his nickname is ca$h king. harris’ favorite word is uncover. all his life he’s loved the feeling of uncovering the truth, and he’s wanted to find friends that can convince him to uncover his secrets and insecurities. harris wants to be open with someone

[farfallasunicas]

hi, it's mercury from @mercuryasksquestions!

what is your character(s)'s earliest memory?

Oh wow. Does it matter which character?

Madalyn Winchester: riding in the impala, or her brothers trying to get her to say their names and beating on if she'd say Sam or Dean's first. ( it came out combined ad in de-am)

Nessie: probably either waking up in the hospital to people calling her Vanessa or the war with the Volturi that killed her biological family

[855ocs]

hey, it's mercury from @mercuryasksquestions!

for whichever character you want to do this for (or all of them!): when is the last time they cried?

Thank you! I'm doing my fallout ocs since they are fresh in my mind currently:

Mercurius: he is an pretty emotional guy. He cried proud tears when he read the latest letter his daughter sent

Mars: pretends he doesn't cry but after the first few beers he's a sad drunk. Cries mostly for the "good old days". Got stinking drunk after loosing the second battle of Hoover dam

Fortuna: burst out in tears randomly while sneaking around for salvage. Startled a fiend sneaking up on her so much they fell into their own trap

Ceres: she found an ncr outpost after the legion was there. Alternatively she got drunk and cried over night stalker puppies. They are just so cute and she can't protect them all!

Juno: she cries often. Crocodile tears. She did cry recently but if there were witnesses she made them stay quiet

Aurelia & Esther: final exams. The true terror of the wasteland

Akira: when he realized he was missing some glue to make a part one of his robots asked for. Follows tried to console him that he really didn't need the part just yet but it didn't quite work

Kyra: relief. It's been a long night she's been holding on and there is never quite a view like the sunrise after that

Miles: had a real cry when he saw what the world became. On the way out of the vault Grace being killed and Shaun getting kidnapped seemed so unreal but the wreckage of the world he knew made him realize that it is real. It also lead to some stupid decisions but that is his problem, really. He stress cries sometimes during battle with makes him very happy that his armor has a closed helmet since he doesn't like people seeing him cry

hey, it's mercury from @mercuryasksquestions!

would your character draw patterns in frosted windows or fogged up mirrors? what would they draw?

Ragheiyont probably doodles abstract swirls.

Caspar makes detailed diagrams and flowcharts.

If Tempest draws anything on a fogged up mirror, it’s a magic sigil.

Thanks for the ask!

[fagknowledge]

hey, it's mercury from @mercuryasksquestions!

what does your character's ideal world look like?

Howdy!

Jake's perfect world is probably one that doesn't treat him badly. He wishes he was just like everybody else.

Michael's would be one that listens to one another and is kind

Dami's would be one that its creators didn't influence so damn much.

Thank you so much, have a good day/night!

[avian-writes]

Whoops-a-daisy, sorry about that @mercuryasksquestions !

I’ll go with Dillon because his reaction would be Pure Confusion. My boi is terrible at recognizing when he likes someone himself, much less when someone else likes him.

His closest friend would be either Kory or Carson at this point in his life. If Kory were to confess, he’d probably consider being in a relationship with him. They get along well and they trusted each other wholly after only a few days. Dillon feels like he can be himself around Kory, like he belongs somewhere so it would likely go well to date him.

If it were Carson, he’d be so taken back he’d be flung back to the beginning of the story. Given the fact that she’s 17 and he’s 19, he’d feel like that would be a good enough of a reason to turn her down gently. She also already has a girlfriend so he’d feel like a homewrecker.

[horribleauthortm]

hi, it's mercury from @mercuryasksquestions!

what is your character's view on holidays, ceremonies, or other similar events? why do they view these events this way?

Hello! And thank you!

We're going with Carlos and Dave for this one.

Carlos celebrates anything that can be celebrated. Religious, cultural, personal, all of it. (As long as it relates to him in some way.)

Holidays and such events were very important in his family, and he continues to celebrate them like he used to with his family, with all the customs and everything.

Dave on the other hand, doesn't celebrate anything anymore. He used to, back when he was with his wife and son. But after they died, he stopped. He says that "there's nothing to celebrate anymore" or that "it doesn't feel the same without them."

[theforsakenprince]

hey, it's mercury from @mercuryasksquestions!

is your character satisfied with their life right now? why (not)?

I think I’ll do Artemis for this one!

I’d say Artemis isn’t satisfied right now, with the Darkness right on humanity’s doorstep and her life constantly in danger. She just wants to be able to relax without something threatening the lives of her friends
