the five homoerotic love languages:

- intimate stabbing

- outright obsession

- confused pining

- "no one knows me like you do"

- lifelong promises that always sound suspiciously like wedding vows

desuetude, absquatulate for O, mellifluous for Samuel?

desuetude- they’ve made it to the seventh city. what relics of their past in London are they still holding onto?

Ough touchy question given how Orsinio really doesn't want immortality. Of course he'd keep the box he came from the surface with (sentimental items from family and rocks/pressed plants from home). Rare poisons and books. Chess set and a favorite tea set. A cup from the original bar. Mantle trinkets. Anything related to Nemesis. Blankets he used with his friends. Lab goggles, though they aren't used with safer modern technology. The watch from his brother and the watch from December.

absquatulate- what does it take to make them run away from a fight?

Horatio is still asking this question to this day. It's very difficult to get Orsinio to back down from a fight because of pride and an impulse to always have the last word. If he feared his life was in danger without good cause, he'd try to find an exit. He's never been reckless with his life, even if he doesn't always realize how bad situations are until it's almost too late to leave. Sometimes he doesn't leave fights even if he's losing because it presents a strategic advantage in a greater scheme.

mellifluous- can they sing?

Samuel knows zee-shanties and does sing them in rare moments. Tbh it's probably easier to get him to sing a few lines of a song than to say a few sentences at once

#thanks for the ask #my ocs #oc: orsinio #oc: samuel #took me a while to think on this one

inveterate- is there a habit, good or bad, that they just can’t break? for Captain Min

absquatulate- what does it take to make them run away from a fight? for Miles

Inveterate: Captain Min smoked the casual cigarette when coming to the High Wilderness, chain smoked their way through the stress of the truth ambition, and then it didn't matter because they got immortality, stonks

Absquatulate: It's hard to get Miles to back down, mostly because they don't care about consequences of a fight. There is one confrontation with Orsinio where he brings up their sister and asks if Miles wants to lose her with this dark quest (one weak spot), which makes Miles completely freeze before leaving in a hurry because they do not want to confront the emotions it brings up, knowing deep down that they're in the wrong in this situation.
