Heyo, was doing some CS stuffs and decided to push that big ol opinion sheet from before the RP started out, gonna paste it here for posterity ~
"You want to know what I think about everyone else... uh... why, exactly? Does my opinion matter...?"
"Okay, okay, fine, whatever you say. I'll go, I'll go... but uh, you won't tell anyone right? I don't want to hurt anyone's feeling."
"Alright, but just to clarify... even if I say something bad about someone I don't really... dislike them, per se. I just... I think everyone has the capability to be good, alright? And if someone... even one of the not-so-nice people in our group wants to be friends with me or talk I'll do my very best to reciprocate."
"I am not 'too nice'! I just don't like to get on people's bad side. I'd like to be friends with everyone. I'd also like to believe that everyone is good... what can I say, I'm an optimist?"
"Okay, when it doesn't apply to myself."
"I like Lawrence! Or do I call him Doc? I know people call him that, but I'm not really sure if he likes it or not..."
"Oh, I guess so. He does have that little plaque, but isn't that a joke?"
"Whatever. Anyways, he's really... well maybe not nice, exactly, but he's always so calm and collected. I like hanging around him, but I don't think he really cares all that much for company. I get the sense he'd rather be reading his book... 'Meditations'. Maybe I should ask him for a loaner copy? He seems to like giving them away, and it must be a good read... plus if I could get even like 10% of his composure I'd probably be a lot better of. Anyways, sometimes he can be mean, but I think he's just joking? He's joking, right?"
"Well- yeah, okay, okay. Whatever. Besides that he's a very helpful person... and, of course, being around him has the added benefit of calming my stigma. Sometimes it's hard to tell exactly what he thinks of me, though... does he have a problem with me? Maybe I'm just being insecure? I just don't know... anyways I guess I should count my blessings he's my roommate, since I could probably do a lot worse."
"Oh, Lily? I love Lily! I enjoy hanging out with her, except... well, I'm not trying to be rude so don't tell her this... I think she's bipolar? Maybe? Don't tell her that though!"
"Hey! It's not even a bad thing, okay?! She's a little different, but it's part of the reason she's so fun. Sure, she can be a handful sometimes... she talks a little too fast to keep up with sometimes... and, well, you've got the idea. Her mood swings pretty quickly, hence why I think... yeah. When she's sad I do my best to cheer her up, but I don't know how helpful I am... I'm not really the person that should be trying to help people when they're depressed... maybe I should ask her to hang out sometime... do you think she'd like that?"
"... I guess maybe I shouldn't be asking you..."
"Hmmm? I guess I kind of get the 'little sister' vibe from her, y'know?"
"Well, yeah, we are the same age but still..."
"I suppose so. Obviously to a lesser extent, I can't exactly be described as manic, but I guess 'mood swing' is a pretty good way to describe how my stigma hits me. I'm good at faking it though."
"I'm used to being candid with these things... about myself, at least. Not the first time you guys have called me in here."
"What? Oh, c'mon! I may have brought it up, but I don't really want to talk about it, okay? I... can we go to the next one, please? You guys have already had a psychiatrist talk to me about this..."
"Yes! I'm fine. Okay? I know you goons need to make sure I'm not going to... well, listen, don't worry about it, alright? Next question."
"Grant's a little hard to figure out. He's definitely a huge slacker, there's no doubt about that... but I guess we all have our things. Nobody's perfect, y'know? And it isn't exactly like he's far from being the only lazy high school student. At our age it's hardly an uncommon problem."
"Well, yeah. I'd like to try to get along with him... I'd like to get along with everyone, I should say... but it feels like he doesn't really want to talk to me sometimes... or is that just because he's not great at making conversation? I'm not really sure, I guess I'll keep trying until he opens up or tells my to go away..."
"Yeah, I used to be kind of like that I guess. Elementary school, I was super shy... so I kind of get the sense he is too. Some people just find it a little hard to get over it."
"Hmmmm? Well, I guess I got better at socializing because I had a good friend that helped me out. Maybe I can do the same for Grant? Or maybe that's a little idealistic..."
Chris is always telling me things like 'Stop talking to me!' or 'Leave me alone!'. At least he's honest about it... he's very abrasive, if that wasn't clear enough. I'm sure he's a good guy once you get past his... 'attitude'. If he wants to hang out I'd be happy to but I don't think he wants me to be anywhere near him... maybe? What do you think?"
"Yeah, I guess I am hoping for a little too much. He's kind of a jerk, I guess? I think I get on his nerves. He's one of those guys that likes it when people think he's 'edgy', I think."
"No, I don't think that. It's not like... I'm sure there's a reason for that, yeah? Or maybe he just likes cultivating the 'angry loner' image. Maybe he thinks girls like it?"
"The 'bad boy' thing? Ew, no way. I'd rather they'd just act a little more genuine..."
"Yeah, Chris too. But still no. Even if he was, I guess he's not really my type? Why do you guys want to know so much...? Anyways, I suspect that he's a big softie compensating for something."
"Oh, no. NO. Not that way. You know what I mean! Geez, don't say that..."
"Sander... or does he want people to call him Sandy?"
"I don't think the name suits him, but if he likes it whatever. I think I heard someone say it once and I've been saying it since... does he not like it?"
"Whatever. I'm not sure about him. He's a nice guy! But his power... is really creepy. Like... well, either way he can't choose his power, so I shouldn't judge him for that! But it is weird... and it makes him act weird. But! There's a but. He seems nice enough besides that. He's pleasant and friendly..."
"Yeah, I guess that isn't the whole picture, is it? He strikes me as a little ingenuine... kind of like Chris, I guess. He's friendly but a little too distant. Everyone has baggage but it seems like he doesn't want anyone to find his."
"I'm a faker too, you guys know that, don't you? You've drilled me about it enough. I guess I have a good sense for this things? Or I'd like to think I do. Lawrence would probably be better at this than me, why don't you talk to me?"
"... Of course you have. What'd he say about me?"
"Can't fault me for trying."
"Callan is cool! Well, she's lazy, but she's cool! Like I said before, being a little lazy isn't a crime..."
"I can be pretty lazy too, yeah... I get stuff done but I will take as long as humanly possible. Cal (I wonder if she would be okay with me calling her Cal?) is great to hang out with. Watch Netflix, play video games, whatever. I bet she'd be a good trivia partner... especially if every question was about The Office."
"I digress... I really like her view on Dreamcatcher and everything... I'm not sure if it's true, and I'm certainly not a Dream-Christian, but I'd like to believe it."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. If I got to pick someone to room with it would probably be her or Lily... if they'd want to, that is!"
"No, I like Hazel and Lawrence. They're fine, it's just that... they're not really talkative... or easy to get along with... and I'm pretty sure that I make up 90% of the conversation that goes on in our room. It probably would be almost exactly the same if I was in the room by myself most of the time. Things would probably be a little more mutual with Cal and Lily. I guess they're my dream team but I still love Lawrence and Hazel."
"Hahaha. Kusari... okay, what I say in this room better not be repeated, especially to her."
"Yes, really!"
"Okay... I don't really think Kusari is that bad."
"Yes! She isn't very nice, but I think she's a total sweetheart and doesn't want anyone to know. Sure, maybe I'm just seeing in her what I want to see, but I don't think she's really as mean as she acts. She's pretty vulgar and sometimes tries to be as incendiary as possible, but I am almost sure that there's more than meets the eyes when it comes to her. She probably wouldn't like me saying that."
"Yeah, deeeeep down, you're right, but still! I'm going to try to meet the Kusari that I think she doesn't want anyone to know. She might hate me for that, but I'll put up with it for even a chance of seeing dere Kusari."
"Oh god don't tell anyone I just said 'dere' unironically."
"Marcus is awesome! He's funny, and I can't help but laugh at what he has to say... he's really fun to talk to. Like, seriously, he always cracks me up. It seems like happiness is becoming a little harder to find here every day, but he certainly helps brighten things up."
"Uhhhh, I guess I shouldn't have said that, huh?"
"Sorry... no, of cours-"
"Let's get back to talking about Marcus, eh? He' cool. He sometimes seems like he's trying a little to hard to keep things from getting quiet, but... I can't really fault him for that, can I? He's great..."
"What? No! No way! Not like that. Well... no! Don't say that... anyways... I'm kind of curious about his scars. They're kind of cool. aren't they? They make him look like a badass."
"Really? You're going to bring up that stereotype? No, they just make him look interesting. I kind of want to ask him about his them, but that would be super rude, wouldn't it? I won't... maybe someday? No, I can't do that. Unless he decides to tell me... probably not... I feel kind of bad for saying they're cool, they probably sucked to get, huh?"
"Hmmmmm... the first time I saw Zoe she struck me as kind of the 'tough big-sister' type."
"I guess we are pretty close in age, but that's the vibe I get. Kind of like Lily it's less about age and more about demeanor, eh? And height, I guess..."
"No, not nearly as cool as Val, of course. I don't think there's anyone nearly as cool as Val... anyways, let me finish. She's a little too tough, y'know? She's a total badass but that's kind of a bad thing sometimes. She's kind of violent and angry a lot... plus she's kind of distant..."
"C'mon, let me finish! I think that a lot of people don't really get Zoe. She's certainly self-assured, and aggressive, but I think she's trying a lot harder then she wants people to see. And I also suspect that she's not nearly as much of an angry loner as she wants people to think she is... at least that's what I think. She wants everyone to think she's a total hardass but I think she's actually a lot nicer than she wants to admit... well, I'd like to see if I'm right but I'm not sure she would let me be friends with her. Either way she's really strong an reliable... I wish I could be kind of like that.
"Hazel...? She's my other roommate... and... well... what can I say, she's a strange girl. I think she was in one of those weird cults that lived in a bunker and wasn't allowed to go outside."
"No! You know I'm not trying to be rude. I think she's... well, I want to be friends with her."
"Yeah, she does kind of creeps me out if I'm being honest. But she acts nice enough, I guess. Sometimes I think she's not really there, if you get what I'm saying, but I'd like to help her act a little more human, y'know? There's more to her than she lets on... I'm not sure if that's good or bad."
"Yeah, maybe it is a lost cause, but I'd like to try to figure out just who the hell she is."
"I'm pretty sure every single time I ask Siena about her past I've gotten a different story. I don't know if it's because of her power, or because she doesn't like me and is messing with me... or maybe because she really just doesn't know, I guess? Unlikely."
"Well, she's smart. She reads a lot, not surprising considering her power. She's a little different... spacey is definitely the first word I would use to describe her. She's can kind of be a nervous wreck sometimes..."
"No, I don't dislike Siena. I guess I am sounding I little harsh... maybe because this interview is dragging a little?"
"Just a joke. Haha..."
"Annnnnyways, like a lot of people I'd like to figure her out. I admire her smartness and creativity even if it's sometimes used to make up ridiculous lies. I feel kind of sorry for her, to be completely honest. Just like everyone else I try to be as nice as possible even when though her stories kind of get on my nerves."
"Angel kind of reminds me of my sister, Val-"
"Well, they're both musicians... I mean, Val wasn't a superstar like Angel, more of a local sensation."
"No, no, I guess it's kind of a superficial observation. She's not as moody, but then again she's also not an aberration. Angel can be kind of difficult at times to say the least. I can't fault her for that, I know how she feels because I have to deal with a stigma too. It's kind of surprising that I don't get like taht too... guess I got good practice suppressing things before I got my stigma? I just made myself sad. Anyways, past all of the anger I know Angel is a sweetheart... I also know she could us a friend. I'd like to be friends with her."
"Well, I'd like to be friends with everyone... I'd also like to see her perform. I remember there was this one song that Val would always play. It's a little old, Boss D.J., by Sublime. Ever heard of it?"
"Well, old to me I guess. Doesn't matter. Anyways, Val would always sneak me into shows in these crappy dive bars and she would allllways play that song. Point is I wonder if I could get Angel to play it... I'd like that."
"Well... Allison is nice?"
"No, no, don't get me wrong, I do like Allison... she's a great person and has a lot of positive qualities."
"I'm sure you guys already know, she's kind of... I don't really approve of her habits when it comes to men."
"What can I say? I guess I'm kind of conservative when it comes to that kind of stuff...? It's not her fault so I feel bad for thinking that way, so I'd rather just not talk about it. She's a really good friend, so it's not really my place to be disapproving of her."
"Yeah, besides that she is a very kind person. Sometimes kind of like Lawrence I can't tell when she's joking or not, but I still like hanging out with her... I mean, except when she's looking at... things..."
"Sometimes you can tell what she's thinking about... she can't really help it, still, y'know?"
"Did... I... W-w-what?! No way! A-a-are you guys really allowed to ask minors questions like that?!"
"Savannah... well, the first time I saw her I though she was absolutely adorable and went over to talk to her..."
"She didn't take it very well. She's very loud and very angry. She takes about any excuse to get mad about something. I wouldn't be surprised if she yelled at me for like... breathing the wrong way, or something?"
"Yeah, she's yelled at me... I've tried to keep clear of her because I'd rather not deal with the angry demon child all the time."
"Of course! I mean, if she ever decides she wants to talk to me, sure. I may... well, I may have just called her an 'angry demon child' but I don't think she's a bad person, just a kid, y'know?"
"She's kind of funny when she's angry, I guess. She spews some Irish nonsense which kind of cracks me up, y'know?"
"Well, I'm sure it means something, but it's nonsense to me. Anyways, I kind of get the sense that she mainly acts like that because she'd rather not be around people for whatever reason. Maybe she does it because she wants to be kind of edgy like Chris? I dunno."
"Christmas... I feel really bad for Christmas. I'd like to try and help him out, but I kind of feel like I'd be undertaking a massive task if I ever made a concentrated effort to get him too... well, for lack of a better word, man up."
"Well, he's kind of like a big ol' punching bag. I don't really like saying that but it's pretty true. He's really passive so he kind of let's people walk all over him. I try to help a lot of people feel comfortable in the group, but with him I think it'd be a big help if he'd just... well... get mad, every one in a while, I guess?"
"I don't think he'd hurt a fly, let alone get mad at one. I don't think I've ever heard him stick up for himself and he's pretty much scared of everything. If I can get him to... well, do anything, really it'd be a victory. Maybe just start by encouraging him to speak his mind? Why do you guys send him out on combat missions anyways?"
"Yeah, yeah, I get it."
"Uhhhh... Aaron is kind of tough. I actually like him quite a bit, but... well, I kind of try to avoid getting to know him too well."
"He's not exactly approving of... well, anything about me, really. I'd have to fake it really hard around him... like, harder than usual. From what I've heard he doesn't really like people that are mopey or depressed so..."
"Well, sure, like I said I like him. I'd like to be friends with him but maybe it's for the best that we're not? Like, if he wants to hang out, yeah, I will, since I like hanging out with everyone, but... y'know? It's hard to keep it up around him knowing that he would dislike the real me so much."
"Well, I assume he would given what I know. I guess no one really would like the real me, but him in particular really wouldn't."
"No, I wouldn't be as forthcoming about it around everyone else. Your psych evals have kind of broken me about it, but I'd rather that no one knew. It's easier that way."
"Brent kind of raises a red flag for me..."
No, don't get me wrong, he's a great guy. I'd say we're pretty good friends. He's a really hard worker at pretty much everything he takes seriously... even if it's only his physique."
"Well, what I mean is I kind of get the sense that he's running away from something. There's something he doesn't want to admit about himself. Kind of like me, yeah? I feel like... he doesn't really care about anything, really. He acts like he does but he doesn't. Even when it comes to the things he tries hard at I'm not really sure it's because he enjoys doing it, or because he wants the results... I think he kind of does a lot of things he does because he thinks he should, I guess?"
"No, I'm not very confident on my 'psycho-analysis'. I'm not a shrink like you. I don't really know what I'm talking about, just making guesses based on what I've seen."
"Yes, I'm well aware that that's what you guys do too."
"Ernest... Erneeeeeest... doesn't ring a bell... I don't think I know an Ernest, do I?"
"I don't think I've ever asked someone else to vacuum for me, do you think I'm lazy or something?"
"Okay, okay, okay, fine, I just don't want to say anything bad about him. He kind of scares the shit out of me. The first time I met him I thought he was a really nice guy, and then I saw him slam some guys face into a wall. I guess the story he's really violent if you're not on his good side?"
"I just try to avoid the guy. Even though I don't think I'd really do anything to make him angry I'd just rather not associate with someone like that."
"No, I don't really like bullies. What kind of question is that? What kind of person likes bullies?"
"Yeah, if I saw him beating someone up I'd probably intervene... maybe..."
"He's pretty scary."
"Sophia... well, trying to be friends with Sophia is pretty hard."
"I've tried approaching from every angle. I've hardly gotten a word out of her. I've heard that she isn't very talkative with anyone. At first I thought she didn't like me but now I'm pretty sure she's just very shy."
"Well, everyone could use a friend so I'd like to be hers. Unless she doesn't want me to. I hope that's not the case because I probably seem pretty weird if she really just doesn't want talk to me."
"I think I mention I used to be pretty shy. Even back then I wanted friends, I just had trouble making them. Maybe Sophia is the same way? Or maybe I'm just projecting because I'm a weirdo."
"You guys recruited a lot of try-hards, didn't you?"
"Yeah, Gregory is kind of the same as Brent minus the whole 'hiding behind a facade' thing. Well, I dunno, Gregory could be too and I just haven't noticed it."
"At least he's not as crazy about it as some of the others. He's not wildly masochistic, just the regular sort of extra-organized."
"I guess that kind of doesn't make sense. He's way more organized than I could ever be and seems to have it together pretty well, but is willing to be a little loose about things, so I guess I can appreciate that? He kind of lacks tact but besides that is a pretty good guy."
"That's it? Well, alright..."
"Yeah?"
"What, really? I said I didn't want to talk about that..."
"I've been taking those pills you guys gave me, what else do you need?"
"... Uh-huh... okay, maybe I haven't but do I really need to? They make me feel weird..."
"Okay, okay, fine, is that it?"
"Okay, thanks."
"You want to know what I think about everyone else... uh... why, exactly? Does my opinion matter...?"
"Okay, okay, fine, whatever you say. I'll go, I'll go... but uh, you won't tell anyone right? I don't want to hurt anyone's feeling."
"Alright, but just to clarify... even if I say something bad about someone I don't really... dislike them, per se. I just... I think everyone has the capability to be good, alright? And if someone... even one of the not-so-nice people in our group wants to be friends with me or talk I'll do my very best to reciprocate."
"I am not 'too nice'! I just don't like to get on people's bad side. I'd like to be friends with everyone. I'd also like to believe that everyone is good... what can I say, I'm an optimist?"
"Okay, when it doesn't apply to myself."
πππ¨π£ππππ
"I like Lawrence! Or do I call him Doc? I know people call him that, but I'm not really sure if he likes it or not..."
"Oh, I guess so. He does have that little plaque, but isn't that a joke?"

He seems to like giving them away, and it must be a good read... plus if I could get even like 10% of his composure I'd probably be a lot better of. Anyways, sometimes he can be mean, but I think he's just joking? He's joking, right?"
"Well- yeah, okay, okay. Whatever. Besides that he's a very helpful person... and, of course, being around him has the added benefit of calming my stigma.

"Okay... I don't really think Kusari is that bad."
"Yes! She isn't very nice, but I think she's a total sweetheart and doesn't want anyone to know. Sure, maybe I'm just seeing in her what I want to see, but I don't think she's really as mean as she acts. She's pretty vulgar and sometimes tries to be as incendiary as possible, but I am almost sure that there's more than meets the eyes when it comes to her. She probably wouldn't like me saying that."
"Yeah, deeeeep down, you're right, but still! I'm going to try to meet the Kusari that I think she doesn't want anyone to know. She might hate me for that, but I'll put up with it for even a chance of seeing dere Kusari."
"Oh god don't tell anyone I just said 'dere' unironically."

"Marcus is awesome! He's funny, and I can't help but laugh at what he has to say... he's really fun to talk to. Like, seriously, he always cracks me up. It seems like happiness is becoming a little harder to find here every day, but he certainly helps brighten things up."
"Uhhhh, I guess I shouldn't have said that, huh?"
"Sorry... no, of cours-"
"Let's get back to talking about Marcus, eh? He' cool. He sometimes seems like he's trying a little to hard to keep things from getting quiet, but... I can't really fault him for that, can I? He's great..."
"What? No! No way! Not like that. Well... no! Don't say that... anyways... I'm kind of curious about his scars. They're kind of cool. aren't they? They make him look like a badass."
"Really? You're going to bring up that stereotype? No, they just make him look interesting. I kind of want to ask him about his them, but that would be super rude, wouldn't it? I won't... maybe someday? No, I can't do that. Unless he decides to tell me... probably not... I feel kind of bad for saying they're cool, they probably sucked to get, huh?"

"Hmmmmm... the first time I saw Zoe she struck me as kind of the 'tough big-sister' type."
"I guess we are pretty close in age, but that's the vibe I get. Kind of like Lily it's less about age and more about demeanor, eh? And height, I guess..."
"No, not nearly as cool as Val, of course. I don't think there's anyone nearly as cool as Val... anyways, let me finish. She's a little too tough, y'know? She's a total badass but that's kind of a bad thing sometimes. She's kind of violent and angry a lot... plus she's kind of distant..."
"C'mon, let me finish! I think that a lot of people don't really get Zoe. She's certainly self-assured, and aggressive, but I think she's trying a lot harder then she wants people to see. And I also suspect that she's not nearly as much of an angry loner as she wants people to think she is... at least that's what I think. She wants everyone to think she's a total hardass but I think she's actually a lot nicer than she wants to admit... well, I'd like to see if I'm right but I'm not sure she would let me be friends with her. Either way she's really strong an reliable... I wish I could be kind of like that.

"Hazel...? She's my other roommate... and... well... what can I say, she's a strange girl. I think she was in one of those weird cults that lived in a bunker and wasn't allowed to go outside."
"No! You know I'm not trying to be rude. I think she's... well, I want to be friends with her."
"Yeah, she does kind of creeps me out if I'm being honest. But she acts nice enough, I guess. Sometimes I think she's not really there, if you get what I'm saying, but I'd like to help her act a little more human, y'know? There's more to her than she lets on... I'm not sure if that's good or bad."
"Yeah, maybe it is a lost cause, but I'd like to try to figure out just who the hell she is."
πππππ
"I'm pretty sure every single time I ask Siena about her past I've gotten a different story. I don't know if it's because of her power, or because she doesn't like me and is messing with me... or maybe because she really just doesn't know, I guess? Unlikely."
"Well, she's smart. She reads a lot, not surprising considering her power. She's a little different... spacey is definitely the first word I would use to describe her. She's can kind of be a nervous wreck sometimes..."
"No, I don't dislike Siena. I guess I am sounding I little harsh... maybe because this interview is dragging a little?"
"Just a joke. Haha..."
"Annnnnyways, like a lot of people I'd like to figure her out. I admire her smartness and creativity even if it's sometimes used to make up ridiculous lies. I feel kind of sorry for her, to be completely honest. Just like everyone else I try to be as nice as possible even when though her stories kind of get on my nerves."

"Angel kind of reminds me of my sister, Val-"
"Well, they're both musicians... I mean, Val wasn't a superstar like Angel, more of a local sensation."
"No, no, I guess it's kind of a superficial observation. She's not as moody, but then again she's also not an aberration. Angel can be kind of difficult at times to say the least. I can't fault her for that, I know how she feels because I have to deal with a stigma too. It's kind of surprising that I don't get like taht too... guess I got good practice suppressing things before I got my stigma? I just made myself sad. Anyways, past all of the anger I know Angel is a sweetheart... I also know she could us a friend. I'd like to be friends with her."
"Well, I'd like to be friends with everyone... I'd also like to see her perform. I remember there was this one song that Val would always play. It's a little old, Boss D.J., by Sublime. Ever heard of it?"
"Well, old to me I guess. Doesn't matter. Anyways, Val would always sneak me into shows in these crappy dive bars and she would allllways play that song. Point is I wonder if I could get Angel to play it... I'd like that."
πΈππππ€π π
"Well... Allison is nice?"
"No, no, don't get me wrong, I do like Allison... she's a great person and has a lot of positive qualities."
"I'm sure you guys already know, she's kind of... I don't really approve of her habits when it comes to men."
"What can I say? I guess I'm kind of conservative when it comes to that kind of stuff...? It's not her fault so I feel bad for thinking that way, so I'd rather just not talk about it. She's a really good friend, so it's not really my place to be disapproving of her."
"Yeah, besides that she is a very kind person. Sometimes kind of like Lawrence I can't tell when she's joking or not, but I still like hanging out with her... I mean, except when she's looking at... things..."
"Sometimes you can tell what she's thinking about... she can't really help it, still, y'know?"
"Did... I... W-w-what?! No way! A-a-are you guys really allowed to ask minors questions like that?!"

"Savannah... well, the first time I saw her I though she was absolutely adorable and went over to talk to her..."
"She didn't take it very well. She's very loud and very angry. She takes about any excuse to get mad about something. I wouldn't be surprised if she yelled at me for like... breathing the wrong way, or something?"
"Yeah, she's yelled at me... I've tried to keep clear of her because I'd rather not deal with the angry demon child all the time."
"Of course! I mean, if she ever decides she wants to talk to me, sure. I may... well, I may have just called her an 'angry demon child' but I don't think she's a bad person, just a kid, y'know?"
"She's kind of funny when she's angry, I guess. She spews some Irish nonsense which kind of cracks me up, y'know?"
"Well, I'm sure it means something, but it's nonsense to me. Anyways, I kind of get the sense that she mainly acts like that because she'd rather not be around people for whatever reason. Maybe she does it because she wants to be kind of edgy like Chris? I dunno."

"Christmas... I feel really bad for Christmas. I'd like to try and help him out, but I kind of feel like I'd be undertaking a massive task if I ever made a concentrated effort to get him too... well, for lack of a better word, man up."
"Well, he's kind of like a big ol' punching bag. I don't really like saying that but it's pretty true. He's really passive so he kind of let's people walk all over him. I try to help a lot of people feel comfortable in the group, but with him I think it'd be a big help if he'd just... well... get mad, every one in a while, I guess?"
"I don't think he'd hurt a fly, let alone get mad at one. I don't think I've ever heard him stick up for himself and he's pretty much scared of everything. If I can get him to... well, do anything, really it'd be a victory. Maybe just start by encouraging him to speak his mind? Why do you guys send him out on combat missions anyways?"
"Yeah, yeah, I get it."
πΈππ£π π
"Uhhhh... Aaron is kind of tough. I actually like him quite a bit, but... well, I kind of try to avoid getting to know him too well."
"He's not exactly approving of... well, anything about me, really. I'd have to fake it really hard around him... like, harder than usual. From what I've heard he doesn't really like people that are mopey or depressed so..."
"Well, sure, like I said I like him. I'd like to be friends with him but maybe it's for the best that we're not? Like, if he wants to hang out, yeah, I will, since I like hanging out with everyone, but... y'know? It's hard to keep it up around him knowing that he would dislike the real me so much."
"Well, I assume he would given what I know. I guess no one really would like the real me, but him in particular really wouldn't."
"No, I wouldn't be as forthcoming about it around everyone else. Your psych evals have kind of broken me about it, but I'd rather that no one knew. It's easier that way."
πΉπ£πππ₯
"Brent kind of raises a red flag for me..."
No, don't get me wrong, he's a great guy. I'd say we're pretty good friends. He's a really hard worker at pretty much everything he takes seriously... even if it's only his physique."
"Well, what I mean is I kind of get the sense that he's running away from something. There's something he doesn't want to admit about himself. Kind of like me, yeah? I feel like... he doesn't really care about anything, really. He acts like he does but he doesn't. Even when it comes to the things he tries hard at I'm not really sure it's because he enjoys doing it, or because he wants the results... I think he kind of does a lot of things he does because he thinks he should, I guess?"
"No, I'm not very confident on my 'psycho-analysis'. I'm not a shrink like you. I don't really know what I'm talking about, just making guesses based on what I've seen."
"Yes, I'm well aware that that's what you guys do too."
πΌπ£πππ
"Ernest... Erneeeeeest... doesn't ring a bell... I don't think I know an Ernest, do I?"
"I don't think I've ever asked someone else to vacuum for me, do you think I'm lazy or something?"
"Okay, okay, okay, fine, I just don't want to say anything bad about him. He kind of scares the shit out of me. The first time I met him I thought he was a really nice guy, and then I saw him slam some guys face into a wall. I guess the story he's really violent if you're not on his good side?"
"I just try to avoid the guy. Even though I don't think I'd really do anything to make him angry I'd just rather not associate with someone like that."
"No, I don't really like bullies. What kind of question is that? What kind of person likes bullies?"
"Yeah, if I saw him beating someone up I'd probably intervene... maybe..."
"He's pretty scary."
ππ π‘πππ
"Sophia... well, trying to be friends with Sophia is pretty hard."
"I've tried approaching from every angle. I've hardly gotten a word out of her. I've heard that she isn't very talkative with anyone. At first I thought she didn't like me but now I'm pretty sure she's just very shy."
"Well, everyone could use a friend so I'd like to be hers. Unless she doesn't want me to. I hope that's not the case because I probably seem pretty weird if she really just doesn't want talk to me."
"I think I mention I used to be pretty shy. Even back then I wanted friends, I just had trouble making them. Maybe Sophia is the same way? Or maybe I'm just projecting because I'm a weirdo."

"You guys recruited a lot of try-hards, didn't you?"
"Yeah, Gregory is kind of the same as Brent minus the whole 'hiding behind a facade' thing. Well, I dunno, Gregory could be too and I just haven't noticed it."
"At least he's not as crazy about it as some of the others. He's not wildly masochistic, just the regular sort of extra-organized."
"I guess that kind of doesn't make sense. He's way more organized than I could ever be and seems to have it together pretty well, but is willing to be a little loose about things, so I guess I can appreciate that? He kind of lacks tact but besides that is a pretty good guy."
"That's it? Well, alright..."
"Yeah?"
"What, really? I said I didn't want to talk about that..."
"I've been taking those pills you guys gave me, what else do you need?"
"... Uh-huh... okay, maybe I haven't but do I really need to? They make me feel weird..."
"Okay, okay, fine, is that it?"
"Okay, thanks."
