33 for cherry fizzle vallen neil holly, 49 for cherry vallen paige, 28 for toni emily, 15 toni, 10 pierre, 37 scott (can be answered separately ik this is a lot. LOL)

GOOD LIRD..... okay i can work with this. Ok

33. Do they play ttrpgs? If so what kind of characters do they play? Or are they more likely to GM?

fizzle - YES probably since she was super super young. has moved on to GM'ing and writes the most batshit plots featuring the silliest of gags ie bard npc first name oingo last name boingo. loves when her players go off the rails because it means she gets to pull out the craziest stops that may or may not derail the story but who cares there's no time to remember that this was a by the numbers save-the-princess plot fight these 3 bean bag mimics you found in the forest NOW

cherry - no, not really. they've tried but they dont quite get the appeal. but they do like to watch and sometimes helps fizzle gm (super handy to have a friend who is a calculator/randint generator during dnd)

holly - nnno? not unless someone ropes her into it first but then she is ALL in. makes a """mary sue""" (i use that in the best of terms i hate when its ever used as a form of criticism) oc with 13 boyfriends and rainbow hair and flame hands and has the time of her goddamn life. shed forget when her turn is / what's going on in the story all the time though lmao

vallen - would pretend like he's not interested. would join and pretend like it's just to make fizzle and/or cherry happy. would get super invested about 20 minutes in and make an impressively in-depth character and then either make it to every meeting after that or never show up again

neil - YES lol ttrpgs are right up his alley. itd probably love writing stories to gm but would hate gm'ing himself. has multiple preestablished characters that he just pulls from whenever it needs them for a campaign. deliberately brings the silliest things it can find to act as makeshift minifigs (legos, action figs, thimbles, board game pieces he just Took, rocks, whatever. anything can be a player character if u use yr imagination <3) and gets really into his characters, especially the gag ones

49. Do they have trouble keeping their enemies and their friends straight?

cherry - no. cherry knows who he loves and who loves him and who he hates and who hates them, and theyre content with that and its changes, for the most part. he makes an effort to understand everyone but that isn't always enough to make her like them in some circumstances it just makes her hate them more

paige - It's Complicated. people tend not to like her since, yeah, she's not very graceful or charming and she sure as hell comes off as abrasive at times, but that's compounded by the fact she's very bad at reading or predicting people so she never knows what to make of certain behaviors towards her. is this person being genuinely nice, or do they want something out of me? is this person rude because they're having a bad day, or because they're just a rude person? is this person kind, or just a pushover? you could be the nicest person ever to her and she'd still bend herself into knots trying to figure out Why, if you're just too weak willed to say no once in a while or if you're just trying to suck up and get something out of her. and she tries sooo hard to not need anyone, to stay in her own self-sufficient bubble where she can leverage her own power over people to get what she wants out of them that she kids herself into thinking any kind of relationship would just slow her down as if the fact of the matter is that she just doesnt know how to connect with others on a meaningful level and would rather stay that way then ever admit she needs help. so she just stays like that, viewing everyone as either adversaries or assets or sometimes both, if youre her brother. having friends does not agree with paige jensen and having enemies is a hell of a lot easier, so making enemies it is. toni is a slight exception but let's not worry about that

vallen - ohh boy. yeah. yeah. they have so much trouble fathoming ideas like [checks smudged writing on hand] Genuinely Likes Him, or Has No Ulterior Motives. fizzle and cherry throw them the fuck off because no they're just sorta generally kind, understanding people who don't expect much and he does not understand that. like yeah ok they Get what has brought those three together I Guess but its still like. why are you inviting me over for fucking movie night. why do you want to hang out with me. what do you want? and cherry will outright say "I like you. I like spending time with you." to his FACE and theyll be like ???? ok. whats the catch motherfucker. spoiler alert there is no catch and vallen has to come to terms with the fact that they are deserving of genuine love even if he thinks he isnt lmao get CARED ABOUT YOU IDIOT 💥💥💥💥 <- this goes totally fine for cherry btw vallen is not an (unknowingly on his part) well laid trap at all. it's ok. they're ok❤️ (they are)

28. Are they a #gamer?

LMAO? toni spent a lot of time in and out of hospitals and would have dreamcasts and nintendo 64s wheeled in during the times she was bedridden. she's played a few very specific games back to front forwards backwards 100 percent completion any% WHATEVER because the hospital only had starfox and super mario 64 and by god was she going to make the most of that

emily has a shitty little nokia that can play snake and tetris. helps when she can't sleep. gives her horrible Tetris Effect and the stupid song gets stuck in her brain at work which is just great

15. What kind of sense of humor do they have? Or do they have one at all?

she tends to joke about things no one wants to talk about. will make jokes about paige turning people into cyborgs to her face and will bring up that one families lawsuit who swear up and down your company is responsible for their daughters disappearance and will do it in the most chipper, sweetest voice and then will move on just as fast as she's said it to some entirely new topic rather than let the other person even process what she's said. her humor operates on saying the quiet part out loud and making people uncomfortable with it lmao

10. Do they have any regrets?

you think you're so funny dont you

pierre spends roughly 10 years in that company which means 10 years to reflect on how he got there and what person-- whose sacrifice all of this research and development is all built upon and it kills him every single day. he will never stop thinking about the what ifs, about what he did when he was young and stupid and thought he could get what he wanted in the end if he pulled the strings just right. and now he's here and he's loved and revered, sure, but it's not how he wants and it's all built off of her. which i find interesting, because even in death* eveline is less a person in his mind and more of an escapism. something to mourn, lament over, not something to remember as it was but as it could have been.

37. Are they religious? If so do they have a strong sense of faith, are they uncertain, or are they somewhere in between?

oh this one's interesting. scott gives me the vibes of someone who was raised in the church which was then used to supplement his own abuse, became really bitter toward religion as a whole for a good chunk of his youth, and then grew up a little and met people and thought about how people use and misuse it and reconsidered it and is just overall very chill and respectful about it now. never sent his kids to any kind of church, never pointed them in the direction of any religion, but never discouraged them for exploring that sorta thing or asking questions or coming to their own conclusions as long as it stayed in the range of 'be kind to people'. scott marshall is an ex hippie who had to buckle down and work and find time for his family but he never really grew out of the ideals of it so he really is more respectful towards other people's dispositions than a lotta ppl wouldve been in georgia circa 1998. that being said i think that guy probably hotboxed his old churches basement when he was 17 and spraypainted stupid shit on the walls there and like, 20-30 years later he's still hearing the local urban legends about the pentagrams that mysteriously appeared on the church walls drawn in blood back in '71 and he sooo badly wants to say "that's ridiculous! i could barely afford the can of paint back then, let alone blood!!" but he cant. and it kills him
