Character Interview Questions

...Eh screw it.

Because they continue to live in my head rent free for whatever reasons even I can't figure out, I'm pulling Alice and Henry Masson out again to hop on this bandwagon. Same RP as the weird Perfectionist guy two hops above this post.

This took too long to write holy crap

Q: What do you like to do for fun?

A: "Nothing specific. Henry does like to do stuff together like co-op his video games or write music."

"Can you blame me? You're actually pretty good at some of them!"

Q:What qualities do you like in a person?

A: Alice snorted. "Want a list?? If I had to choose one, it'd have to be kindness despite all odds."

"Patience and common sense, easy."

Q:If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

A: "If I was-"

Henry quickly covered her mouth. "Don't! Finish that thought!"

"Come on, Henry!"

"I know what you were going to say and no, you are not stupid! Sure that comes from a part of me who must feed his ego being the brains between the two of us, but that whole ordeal was pure bullshit to begin with. Don't worry about it, okay?"

Q:If you could go anywhere, where would you go?

A: "Huh. That's a tough one... Maybe Japan for vacation? Or anywhere out of country in fact."

Q:What is your favorite food, and why?

A: Both of them have a bias for snack food, but they do have a sweet tooth. Especially for certain treats. Alice likes chocolate, and Henry prefers sour candy.

<sub>"QUIT HOGGING THE FUCKIN' CHOCOLATE YOU FAT FUCK!"

"FUCK OFF, YOU HAVE YOUR OWN SHIT TO EAT!"</sub>

You can see the two fighting over some in the back.

Q: When do you do your best work? In other words are you an early bird or a night owl?

A: "Sleep is for the weak."

"I can and will carry you to bed by your scruff you dimwit."

Q: Who's had the biggest influence on your life?

A: "Admittedly, not sure how to answer this one. Next?"

Q: How do you feel about your family?

A: Alice pointed to Henry. "Dumbass."

And Henry pointed back at her with a smug smile. "Bitch."

Suffice to say, they're on great terms.

Q: Do you have any particularly noteworthy Allies or Enemies?

A: Alice dryly chuckled, crossing her arms. "Hah! Most of our dear associates were indifferent to my dumb ass. There were some who'd probably want me dead and by god I don't know why I felt I had to tolerate them, but they're of no concern at this point." She then frowned for a moment. "Many of our old allies are...not here with us anymore. But I'm glad to have stuck with a pair of dorks I care a great deal for to the bitter end."

"Awwe!"

Q: What's your pet peeve?

A: "High-and-mighty jackasses who severely need to be knocked down a peg? No I won't elaborate further."

"Not exactly a pet peeve, but I do have a bit of trypophobia." He shuddered. "Those damn holes..."

Q: What is your favorite animal?

A: "I like dogs!"

"I'm more leaning towards cats. Concidered adopting one and naming them Cheshire."

Q: What are your hobbies?

A: "Well as of now I still dabble in the music thing, but now I also do freelance tech stuff. Think Alice is trying photography recently, so that's neat I guess."

Q: If you suddenly came into a lot of money, what would you spend it on?

A: "First we'd have to prioritize getting necessities. Then maybe once we have some left over to spend on ourselves we could take a vacation and whatnot. God knows we need it."

Q: How much time do you have left to live?

A: "Weird question. Both of us are too spiteful to get killed yet." Henry shrugged.

Q: What would you dress up as for Halloween, or your world's equivalent thereof?

A: "Honestly I don't think much about costumes as I do the food or horror movies. But Henry does like doing matching themes when he's bugged me enough to go with it."

_{"IF I'M STUCK BEING THE ROBIN OF THE GROUP, NEITHER YOU OR 'YA BOY ARE GETTING OUT OF BEING CAT AND BAT, JACKO."}

Q: What is your favorite scent?

A: "Also weird. Why would you wanna know, eh???" Henry narrowed his eyes at the asker. "Buying some perfume? Trying to imprrrress someone? Hmmmmmmmmm??"

_{"Dude, stop. You're scaring them."}

Q: What's your favorite season?

A: "Winter."

"Autumn."

"Hot weather sucks."

Q: Who do you consider closest to you?

A: The two point to each other again. "We're missing one but if he was here, we'd point at him too!"

Q: What power do you desire the most?

A: Alice gently held a hand over one of her eyes and frowned. "If only she was right about me..." She answered with a sigh. Having the ability to see the future was too farfetched, even for her.

"Eh, not sure what I'd want, but a supercomputer would be neat."

Q: How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

A: "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled...I'm sorry what was the question again??"

Q: There is no question. Merely differing paths to a preconceived answer.

A: "Fuck you too then."

Q: What are you most afraid of?

A: "Many things. Mostly that our efforts would be in vain after everything."

Henry simply nodded in response.

Q: What would it take to get you to commit murder?

A: Oddly, she went silent, reading over the question again in a double take. "...Somehow, I don't think we should answer this one." She glanced around, as if suspecting something.

Probably nothing though, right?

Q: What is your personal definition of love?

A: "Okay. Now I'm stumped."

Henry rose a brow to his sister's reaction. "Aren't you the one with the boyfriend?"

"Doesn't mean I'm good with words, Henry. I'm no poet." She gave him an unamused look in return.

"Looks like that's it for now! Guess we can submit our own question."

"Oh? Uhm, okay, Got any siblings/sibling figures of your own? How's your relationship with them?"

Collab with Kamek @DracoLunaris

"Hmm?" Omori's head turned to face the witch stepping over to him, introducing herself as Kamek. He nodded when she noted that they've bumped into eachother beforehand, but patiently waited till she was done asking questions before answering. He motion over to himself with a hand over his chest. "Omori." the boy introduced himself in return. His voice was near emotionless, yet carried a faint ghostly echo to it.

"I've been fine, more or less. This place is...different." He explained, glancing around before looking back to Kamek. "Dangerous."

”Oh yes, Galeem has made quite the deathtrap of a world that is for certain” Kamek agreed unhelpfufly, before quickly atempting to be reasuring by saying ”But don't you worry, I'm quite sure here is the safest place in it! The people having control of their senses and all that”

”Oh and, do you mind if we walk and talk? I do have somewhere to be, but I am happy to answer any questions you have while we travel there"

Omori tilted his head. She needed to be somewhere? Couldn't let her miss anything important cause of him. He nodded. "After you, ma'am."

”Thank you kindly, this way" the mage said, directing them both to start heading in the direction the rest of the Koopa Troop had been going to get to the planning meeting.

The monochrome boy quietly followed behind. After a moment of thought, he spoke up again. "Is it...okay if I help bring some people here too? Get them help like I needed?" He asked, thinking back to the guards that broke him free on arrival.

”Hmmm? Oh, by all means, the more the merrier infact." the mage replied, before asking the boy ”Though does that mean you intend to set out to try and find them?" with a hint of concern in her words. It was at that point that they arrived in the meeting room, which conviniently presented the map of the known world to them such that Kamek could gesture to it while saying ”The land is quite vast and, as you know, dangerous. It would be unwise to travel it alone"

He nodded again. "My friends and sister are out there, under the influence of something that can get them fatally hurt. I've been looking for them since I ended up here anyways." A faint frown of worry crossed Omori's features for once, his eyes downcasted to the floor, then to the map. "I've been staying in Limsa until I was prepared to head out again."

”Well... if you can tell me what they look like I'm sure we and the mercenaries can keep an eye out Kamek began, before realising that the boy might well insist on heading out no matter what and tenatively offering ”Or if you really, really, really must seek them out yourselves, you could do worse than sticking with one of the official teams. We'll be covering a lot of ground so if we haven't been where they are yet, we will surely find it on our travels"

Official teams?

Omori's mood seem to lighten up at the offer. After the butt-kicking he had to endure last time, it was obvious he'd need whatever help he could get. Who knows if he'd be that lucky outside of town? He let a fist rest under his chin in thought, then nodded. Kamek could see a ghost of a smile form on his face. "I'm in."

The mage sighed to herself, becuase the child was now effectively her responsibility but then nodded and told him ”Well then, welcome aboard" because it wasn't like the boy was going to be the only kid on the team after all.

Video Games: The General Discussion & Community Thread Number Two

@Majoras End Ah I see, I never really played the Kingdom Hearts games because the lore doesn't really make sense to me. All I know is from baseline knowledge thus my opinion is not the same as your own. Honestly I should give the games the good old college try someday. And that's fair, wasn't my intention to argue.

However what we all can agree on was how truly amazing it was when Banjo was revealed, I tell you I got tears in my eyes. And that is because I grew up playing the Banjo Kazooie games.

@Dark Cloud

The plot's a bit nuts and sometimes hard to grasp. You'll have to cover some ground if you wanna get the extent of the first arch, but imo KH2 is the best of em.

By all mean, didn't intend to argue either! Just felt like talking, that's all. I do get it though, not being interested in certain characters' reveals. But hey, Joker and Bayonetta's from the WiiU/3DS line got me into some good games.

Video Games: The General Discussion & Community Thread Number Two

<Snipped quote by Majoras End>

Absolutely a fair point. Oh no, I totally agree with you there it is absolutely something that they got Sora in Smash and I certainly commend them on that. My gripe is two things, why not a more iconic character and why end adding new content to the game when it was a probability they could have milked the franchise a bit longer?

@Dark Cloud

Cant answer the first one out of sheer bias. Though I'd probably be equally shocked if they added, like, Zagreus from Hades into Smash. But he'd probably function similar to Byleth so *shrug*.

Second. They'd have to let the series/game (and in fact, the people working on the stuff) rest at some point. Ultimate is meant to be the last installment after all, The Big One in bold.

And frankly, let the arguments over the who's who of smash bros picks die. Please.

@Dark Cloud

On one hand you are entitled to your opinion,

On the other you have to at least commend them for even making it possible. Most wanted or not, Disney's stingy with their copyright.

Albedo @Lugubrious

Frisk's change of strategy for the most part went better than their first attempt, at the cost of a broken leg. Though their bout of adrenaline would numb that for the moment. They managed to stagger the undead warrior, breaking it's jaw and caving one side of it's head in. The youth clicked their tongue in disatisfaction. Was it not enough to behead the stupid thing?? Wasn't enough to keep it from retaliating either. The Draugr practically threw itself at them, ready to make them suffer the same as...

Frisk was forced on the evasive. Forced to take whatever measures to prevent the warrior Draugr from reaching them and their soul. A gradual, grim realization caused their racing heart to drop to their stomach. They forgot about the Hel-Walker. Albedo was still cornered.

...They were too late.

A decisive act of desperation, Teba fired at the shieldbearing Draugr, leaving the one he was dealing with an opening to merely get thrown to the other. But it was too late. It's sword remained pierced through the woman's heart.

Driven to avenge or otherwise, the remaining three cleared out whatever undead were left. When Teba landed on the Hel-Walker nearest to the child, they bore no hesitance in cracking it's skull open.

They survived. But for what?

The avian's chastising seemed to fall upon deaf ears on Frisk's end. But they could hear it. Every word. Yet their gaze was frozen on where Melony's ashes once were. What could they have done different? Their magic could've lasted long enough to reach her, right? Were their foes really that out of their league?

Why weren't they strong enough?

They could've responded to anything Teba said, but they were unable. Not with the lump in their throat forming. Instead, they limped around, gathering and crushing the spirits of the Draugr and the Hel-Walkers that remained. Then they approached Melony's spirit. They carefully knelt down next to it and gently cupped it in their hands. Their face twisted into a guilt-ridden frown. "...I'm so sorry..." Frisk's voice cracked, and they hugged the spirit close to their soul...

Spirit Summary:

You have acquired:
Common Soul Gem
A magic crystal that can contain the souls of medium and weaker creatures killed by a weapon capable of trapping souls. It can then be used to enchant gear, or restore depleted enchantments, after which it's destroyed.

Ancient Nord Bow
An unremarkable although still functional weapon of eld. Being a shortbow, it is usable by even those of modest stature, provided one has the requisite arrows and skill.

Buckler
A wooden shield reinforced with iron, popular among warriors for its affordability and usability. Lighter but less durable (and stable) than comparable metal shields.

Icefruit
Clarity. Focus. Conviction. Reisum slaughters any who lack these things. When eaten (which is less than pleasant on account of its bitter, acidic taste), this plum-sized fruit increases crit chance by 5% for sixty minutes, an effect that persists even after death, however useful that might be in the World of Light.

Mangled Bones
The remains of some twisted creature. They can be used for crafting, or buried to increase one's Prayer skill--a gesture all the more meaningful for how little it's deserved.

Notable spirit consumed:
Melony
The host has been aged up to 25, grown a little paler, and more heavy-set. The host's hair has become longer and more voluminous, with an overall round shape and off-white tint toward the roots, and they've gained a white jacket with a fluffy collar plus whiter shorts over their darker leggings. The host's personality has become more mature, as well as sweeter normally but more severe where battle's concerned. This spirit confers the Power Veteran Pokemon Trainer, which gives the host an an affinity for and understanding of Pokemon, as well as the ability to have any active Pokemon take damage on the trainer's behalf, and to have any Pokemon returned to their Pokeballs fainted no matter what happened to them. It also confers the Weakness Soft, decreasing overall stamina and physical ability somewhat.

And in the next moment, an older woman stood where the fallen child once did. It took a moment to process what happened, and Frisk's eyes widened. "W-Woah. This is...something!" She looked herself over. "The others are going to flip over this! Hope the change isn't too jarring for them. Then there's the added chubbyness, that's going to hinder me a bit..." She trailed off in her thoughts, then turned her attention back to Albedo. No matter what reservations they both held over this, someone had to take care of Melony's Pokemon in her steed. The woman walked over to him. "Guess it's down to us then, huh?" Frisk asked, then looking over her new items. She'd shrug off the broken leg for now, until they find healing items on their way up.

March of the White Rabbit: A Roll-Your-Own Magical Girl Roleplay

Meanwhile...

_{I swear a bulk of my characters being relatively nuts is a curse on my own writing}

With most of everyone heading out to Bolorton, that allowed the witches to hold a meeting of their own.

Yet the distance between Maura and Justine wasn't the only sight of something amiss. Something seemed off about the Cradle Mother in general. She was either busy with something else or another, or could only be bothered to interact with others for a brief moment. Of course, Rowena was an exception to this. The Witch of Life even caught her younger sibling spacing out at times. She didn't wish to pry, but did offer to take over for a while, let her get some rest. The glare in response. Unintentional or not, that was a definite no from Maura's end.

What was going on through her head?

Once all of them were gathered in a room (away from Valerie's, at her request) Maribel spoke up first:

"Well, not sure what else we must know besides the impending doom of Penrose, but I bet you'll be happy to know dear Amanda should be able to return in a couple of buisness days~!" The nightmare witch chuckled. "Mint's been a bother to pick out, but perhaps if she and Oliver work on a permanent cure for her friend's father's ailment, they won't have to rely on that bunch of swindlers any longer~"

"Bit late on the uptake, ain't it?" Lauren rose a brow. "Not like they'll let Pinky go without a fight, especially not if she's accumulated a debt, and especially when they can reach her royal pain-in-the-ass-to-fight through her." She crossed her arms. "Luckily Beacon hasn't been stupid recently either, probably busy with preparing a counterattack against Wonderland. Thank fuck Vanhorn got us some info on their military works, I can use that to find weakpoints and shit." The emerald haired girl looked over to Maura to see if she would speak up next, then went to the next option when she got nothing but a shrug. "Got anything, Ro?"

"Ah! Goodness no, I've just been treating Miss Howard with everything else going on..." Rowena frowned. Maura looked back at her, almost in plea. "It's strange. I'm not sure if her body's in a state of comatose to try and heal itself, or if it's afflicted by her own magic or..." She trailed off. "I'll keep trying though! I just...need more time to figure it out..."

Time huh?

Maura and Lauren both looked at each other, as if to confirm something, then the latter spoke up again. "If no one else has anything to say, there's something we have to tell the two of you." Once Rowena and Maribel were listening close, she nodded to the reaper.

"...Jen's in Penrose."

The two's eyes widened for vastly different reasons, but surprise nonetheless. "Really now~?" Maribel grinned. "Has she grown impatient at our efforts?"

"Impatient doesn't even begin to cover it."

The group became startled at Jennifer's sudden appearance at the doorway. The false witch was leaning against it with her arms crossed. Lauren pointed at her with a annoyed glare. "How the hell long have you been standing there?!?"

Jen shrugged in response. "Long enough. But y'know, you should really start using anti-scrying measures when you're talking in Cradle. If Mister All-Seeing Allfather and his pet can use Valerie and your conversation as fodder against you, who knows what else could be forfeit here." She explained, looking directly at Lauren when she addressed her specifically.

"What do you want this time? Nothing's happened to Finn yet." Maura asked. She wasn't the last thing she wanted to deal with at the moment, but she still wasn't up for dealing with her bullshit.

"No shit nothing's happened to him yet and BY GOD may I murder a man when otherwise, but anywho!" Jennifer walked over and sat down next to Maribel, who surprisingly (or not surprisingly) didn't react much. "With him okay until the next free time, that leaves me to remedy you AND your little shithole of a faction." She explained.

Maura tried to retort, but couldn't think of one. She opened her mouth then quickly shut up. She had to listen. No matter how psychotic Jen was.

"Good. Atleast you know when to shut up now. Anyways, anyone got a list and clipboard? Maybe a pen?" Jen asked around, and Maribel dropped the needed items next to her from her nightmare dimension. "Oh. Thanks Mari. Now then, what have you been doing anyways? Like, specifically? No, 'trying to stop Mint and/or Beacon' isn't a valid answer anymore."

...

Maura didn't have an answer.

"I see. I know Finn and Oliver, well, Finn alone got put into dealing with Wonderland and Penny. On his own accord for the former too! What a card! The latter I'll admit, we've been a bit of an influence on that. No matter what those two idiots think, I can tell he's just going with it." For a moment, it looked like Jen frowned in worry. But only for a moment. "But other than that, what are ya standing around for? Get out there, get the word out! Get some new recruits after the rest left you for dead!"

The false witch teleported out of the room for a nanosecond to get a snack. Looks like she raided the sweets. "I know you have some reservations there, especially with most solo's either choosing to live peacefully in the mountains or feeding off Penny's palm right now. _{Honestly, might as well rename this damn town into Sanctuary since that's what she calls her 'precious kingdom' now. Eugh.}" She took a bite of the chocolate bar in her hand after opening it. Her face contorted quickly, did she accidentally get dark chocolate? "But what's stopping you? Besides the Grand Magistrates? I know they were gonna give you a new recruit, but looks like she's skipped town too."

At that Maura tiredly furrowed her brows at her. "I think you already know, O' great Exodus..." There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Jen grinned. Now she can get to buisness.

"She hasn't chosen to defect to Odin yet, but Justine's grown more distrusting of you. Especially over her sister, who's currently getting treatment. How long until this trust fades completely, I wonder? Remember. Sanngridr is still part of Mint. The maid's involvement is another story we'll read another time. You getting all this?" Jen asked Maura. Who silently nodded.

"Then you know what should be done. But take heed, patience is an important virtue. You'd only make things worse by desperately speeding up the process." She got up and walked over to the other red-eyed woman. "...Y'know, kind of a weird pattern I'm seeing. Red eyes? Black hair? Wonder if it means anything." Maura visibly tensed up as she leaned forward. Rowena had to restrain herself from stepping in. This was between the two of them. Jennifer hummed in thought as she stared, tilting her head to the side almost...innocently. A sense of deja vu.

"As much as I'd like to resort to killing you and making sure your next incarnation is less incompitent. I think...you're not unsalvagable yet. After all, I too was a dumbass once." She chuckled. The reaper was more confused on the other hand. "One more thing, freshen up will ya? You actually do have a new recruit on the way!"

Maura's eyes genuinely widened. "W-Wait, really?!" With that, she hurried out the room, Jen casually walking behind. Before she dissapeared behind the doorway, she turned back to the other witches.

"Oh yeah, could one of you chuck this over to Finn for me?" She asked, tossing what looked like a silver pocket mirror to Lauren, who was the nearest to her. "It's not a real artifact, nor is it as fancy as Asengav's black mirror, but it'll let me communicate easier without having to physically be around. Alright gotta go, talk to you later Mari!" With that Jennifer left.

"...Fucking shit, I'm getting a drink." An exasperated Lauren walked out too.
