∘₊✧── SHRIKE EVENT ; GET TO KNOW THE RESIDENTS !! 

as the residents of shrike heights continue to battle against the unknown and illusive killers, getting to know your neighbours seems to feel especially important ! 

send members all sorts of questions about their muse/s in order to learn more about the residents of shrike heights. whether it be simple questions such as their favourite colour, or much more personal questions such as their greatest fear - we'd love to learn all about your muses ! 

this event will run over the course of the next three days to ensure members can participate free of stress, and scatter their answers amongst replies as they please. 

please see below the cut for more details / guidelines. 

please react to the participation call in the discord channel if you wish to participate at any time over the next three days. there is no need to reblog the post. 

ensure your ask is open ! 

we prefer answers are formatted in the form of musing / headcanon / drabble posts rather than in character, though you're free to format how you please.

be sure to keep all questions respectful and appropriate. if you're concerned about receiving anons, feel free to have anons switched off so members have to ask directly from their accounts ! 

be sure to ask everyone participating some questions ! 

when sending questions to a multi-muse, be sure to specify who your questions are for - otherwise writers may answer with whichever muse/s they please ( including multiple muses answering the same question only sent once ! ).

while the duration is set to be over the next three days, our timeframe for ask events is implemented loosely to ensure writers can get the most out of them. while we encourage to ask all questions over the next three days, there’s no pressure to answer each one in this time ! if you need to / wish to answer them spread out throughout a longer period ( past the three days ) that’s absolutely fine ! 

as always - feel free to ask for further details / clarification if needed.

s: happy valentine’s day to you, valentine!

t: what a perfect name for today, what a perfect thing, to have a caller named valentine calling into us.

꘎˚ ༘♡♥.˚◞❣꘎ ━━━━━ junior viana carneiro says ; hi! i would like to get ‘in a big country’ by big country dedicated to my favourite person working at flour power right now. i want him to know that talking to him comes easier to me than talking to most people. i’m too shy to tell him in person, i’m not that good with talking to him, i guess (laughs) but i still want him to know. he makes really great cookies, too. 

t: ooh, it’s a big call to have a favourite person working at flower power! 

s: totally, especially when there are so many good bakers providing us with so many great treats! 

t: this person must be special, though, if they’re worth a whole dedication! 

s: we’re glad to be here for you to pass on the message, if you’re too shy to tell him yourself. 

t: yeah! that’s what we’re here for, my friend. 

s: so if you’re a baker at flour power out there, and you recognise our friend junior, this one might be for you!

t: this is in a big country, by big country.

t: you have a way with words, eilonwy. 

s: what a beautiful dedication!

s: that’s a big call to make, junior!

꘎˚ ༘♡♥.˚◞❣꘎ ━━━━━ eilonwy finch says ; happy valentine’s day to you! i would like to dedicate ‘where do broken hearts go’ by whitney houston to one of my best friends, to noah. i know it sounds like a drag, to request a song about broken hearts on today of all days, but i wanted to share, specifically with noah, that i know the answer to the question now (laughs). i know that sounds silly, but... but broken hearts go into the careful hands of your best friend, and once in there, they help you to mend it. noah, i would be in pieces if it weren’t for you. 

s: happy valentine’s day! 

t: happy valentine’s day, eilonwy! 

s: i must say, i didn’t know where you were going with this dedication.

t: (laughs) i almost audibly gasped when i heard the song of choice!

s: but eilonwy, that was one of the most beautiful dedications, truly.

t: absolutely. i got goosebumps.

s: what a special thing, to have a friend like that.

t: we’re so glad that you’re not in pieces.

s: here’s where do broken hearts go by whitney houston.

t: happy valentine’s day to you, finn! 

s: we’re glad to have you calling in again. 

t: we’re not sure who holds that record, but we are sure that you’re certainly a good contender for it. 

s: (laughs) honestly, yeah. i can’t think of anyone else right now.

t: there you have it! unofficially crowning you now (laughs). 

s: we hope you and donnie are having a really great valentine’s day together. 

t: and we also hope that our invitations to the wedding don’t get lost in the mail!

s: oh for sure, i’m expecting front for seats to this occasion.

꘎˚ ༘♡♥.˚◞❣꘎ ━━━━━ jupiter bernstein says ; i’d love for you to play ‘when the lights go out’ by naked eyes for someone really important to me, please. my lights did go out, in a way - i know that’s not what the song is really about but... but i was terrified of the darkness until he brought light back into my life. i really cherish him for that, i really value him. he’s the brightest person i’ve ever known, in every way imaginable, like the brightest star in the sky each night, the one that guides me on my way home, or like noah’s dove, a real symbol of hope.

s: that has got to be one of the most beautiful dedications we’ve gotten all day, 

t: absolutely, what a special dedication. 

s: for what sounds like a very special person.

t: very special indeed. 

s: we’re so happy to hear that you have this person in your life, jupiter.

t: we’re happy to know that you have each other.

s: that’s right.

t: so this one goes out to this very bright person in your life. 

s: here’s when the lights go out by naked eyes. 

t: happy valentine’s day, to the both of you.

꘎˚ ༘♡♥.˚◞❣꘎ ━━━━━ a secret admirer says ; hey, so um, so it uh, it seems i’ve gone and done something real stupid, real stupid, as i’ve caught feelings for one of my friends. i don’t think i’ll ever tell, but i’m gonna lose my mind if i keep holding it in and, and yeah. so i guess, uh, i guess i’ll dedicate ‘can’t fight this feeling’ by reo speedwagon to them. it’s one of their favourite songs, but it’s also kind of fitting, huh?

s: this has got to be one of my favourite calls we’ve received all day. 

t: what a confession! of sorts (laughs).

s: (laughs) yeah, no names were given, but i’d still call it a pretty juicy confession. 

t: we’re so glad you called in! 

s: and we’re so glad that you’re admitting how you feel, even if you’re just taking baby steps right now. 

t: absolutely! you’ve gotta start somewhere. 

s: we’re proud of you!

꘎˚ ༘♡♥.˚◞❣꘎ ━━━━━ junior viana carneiro says ; hi, i would like to dedicate ‘us and them’ by pink floyd to my friend marzipan, please. i’m another one of your listeners who doesn’t have a valentine this year, but the day can be about much more than that kind of love, and i don’t know, sometimes i think my love for marz, for my best friend, is even more special than that kind of love. anyway, um, thank you both! 

s: what a great choice of song!

t: impeccable taste. 

s: thanks for calling up, junior.

t: i love the way you describe your bond with your friend.

s: i was going to say the same thing, the most important kind of love definitely doesn’t have to come from a significant other. 

t: partners can come and go, but best friends can so often be for life!

s: i hope you and marzipan are friends for the rest of your days. 

t: here we have it, us and them, for marzipan, from junior, by pink floyd.

꘎˚ ༘♡♥.˚◞❣꘎ ━━━━━ bo turner says ; could you guys please play ‘life on mars’ by david bowie for the other half of most of my stupidest ideas, orwell. the song always reminds me of them, and i thought they deserved a good tune sent their way. not that you guys don’t play good music or anything, i just wanted one of their favourites to play, you know? thanks!

t: you’re lucky you specified that we do play good music here!

s: (laughs).

t: i was this close to disconnecting you (laughs).

s: don’t listen to trashmouth over here, i knew where you were headed with that. 

t: sure.

t: yeah, i can’t argue there.

s: sounds like they have a good taste in music!

t: once again, you have me agreeing (laughs).

s: orwell, here you are, life on mars by david bowie, just for you.

t: happy valentine’s day, caller!

s: happy valentine’s day! thanks for calling in.

t: we love the calls whether or not you’re putting your name to it - in fact, i personally love all these calls coming in from secret admirers even more than the others. it’s fun.

s: (laughs) it is fun! i’m dying to know what comes from it all, whether or not those the dedications go out to know who their secret admirers might be, you know?

t: absolutely, i’m so curious, i’m so nosey (laughs).

s: our nosiness aside, however, i also hope that hoseok feels a little happier today, after this message! 

t: oh, me too, without a doubt. he sounds like a stand up person, i’m glad you found hoseok, caller, and i’m really glad to help play even a small part in helping you express your gratitude. 

s: we hope you both have a great valentine’s day.

t: this is u2′s with or without you.

s: crazy little thing called love by queen, coming right up.
