Wow! Happy birthday! Conquer the earth!

I'm almost certain I have a badly edited image of a huge idog standing on the earth (ironically from a previous birthday) that would have been a perfect reaction to this but I cannot FIND it so.... everyone please visualize that for me. Make sure you visualize it badly edited

7 & 15?

thank you for the ask, Erin! sorry it’s taken me so long to answer c’:

7. Realistically, could your OC (in their normal circumstances- i.e. at their own house/battlecamp/spaceship etc.) keep a small child alive for a week if they had to?  A Dog?  A Houseplant? A rock with a  smiley face painted on?

Well… surprisingly Lyn rehabilitates a coyote (Amelie, who Lyn loves to bring to Rangers HQ), so she can be more attentive and caring than she thought she was capable of. She just can’t really turn that care onto herself... tho she’ll happily project it on her ‘dog’. Lyn found her alone and trapped, no one to take care of her... it reminded her of a time she’d rather not think about, being able to give her dog a different life was... a big deal.

15. How often does your OC “zone out” or do things on autopilot and how severe have the problems that have arisen from that been? 

She tries not to while in public. Lyn’s paranoid, the idea of her doing anything outside of her apartment (or later lair) and not really remembering how it happened is a rather uncomfortable thought to put it mildly. But it does happen from time to time, when she’s too tired and worn out from nightmares. She’ll be standing outside a shop having taken a route that she’s apparently taken enough times to let her guard down. Lyn takes that as a sign that she’s gotten too comfortable and has to find a new store and new routes. It’s exhausting...

sidestep ask game for des? 24 & 31?

Thanks for the ask, Erin!! <33

24. how do they typically come across to strangers? tofriends? do they frequently use their telepathy to influence others’perceptions of them?

Des goes out of her way to seem like this vulnerable,pitiable person. She’s mostly just forgettable by strangers, which she helps bywiping their memory when she feels like they pay too much attention to her.Seriously, she makes an effort to be underestimated and written off as a weaknobody.

This is lot more difficult to do with people who knewher as Sidestep and since she spends time with Ortega some of the ‘real’ hercomes to surface quite. She’s snarky, petty, empathic definitely notforgettable. But that’s only when the mask slips and usually it’s only aroundOrtega or when she’s super angry or surprisingly around Chen.

Oh boy, she does use her telepathy to influence others’perception of her so often she almost forgets what it feels like to not do it.Most of people wouldn’t be able even describe what she looks like. They wouldn’teven notice they knew nothing until someone asks them and all details just sliptheir mind like when you are trying to remember a dream and more you try toremember the less you know. Also many people would bet their money on Des beingvery short around which is not a case.

31. what is their combat style like?

Des isn’t the person who takes risks if she doesn’thave to. She usually uses stealth to accomplish her goals. Otherwise she’s avery defensive fighter. She won’t go out of the way to attack someone or attackfirst, luring her opponent in to strike first? Yes. With her it’s all about waiting for the right opportunity to strike. She’s also very flexible and very fast, lacks strenght though and her stamina sucks

Sidestep ask

[starrypawz]

Writing prompt? 33.) On a post-it note c:

Ricardo POV

Chargestep

Way you said I Love You

Yet again the phrase ’I’m too old for this’ comes to mind. Youplace your hands on the desk for a moment and sigh. Then you go tothe cup of coffee.

Cold.

How long has it been there?

How long have you been here today?

With a sigh you place a hand on your face and run it through yourhair. Fatigue is sinking into your bones, weighing you down. You’renot sure if this is making you feel older or actually feeling yourage for once.

You probably should’ve called it a night hours ago, it’s not as ifyou’ve been getting anywhere. You look at your notes and… none ofthis makes sense? What were you even trying to write here?  Mierda

Despite your best efforts you yawn and it’s embarrassing eventhough no on can hear it.  Just another reminder that even if PRwants to projects immortality you, Ricardo Ortega, Charge, formerMarshall of the Los Diablos Rangers are in fact a mortal man underthe skinsuit.

For a brief moment you dwell on that concept a little too long until you snap yourself out of it. Looking brooding is only a good look when someone is there to see it.

You stand up and stretch, wait was that ache there this morning?Do you need another appointment with the physio?  You walk around theoffice a bit, funny how sitting down makes your legs tired. Yourtired attention focuses onto the pinboard, photos, headlines, stringsand pins all trying to make connections and you just need…

You’re not sure what it is, you’re close on this one you have tobe. Your eyes trace a string to an..

Wait that spot is meant to be empty, why is there a note there..you didn’t…

You laugh when you read it.

Sparkles,

I actually miss your stupid face and stuff so try not to stayhere too long? Although if you found this note that probably meansyou have been here too long,

Pendejo.

If it’s not too late I’ll swing by yours when you finally dragthat adorable ass of yours out of that office.

Let me know when you get home, ok?

-Mapache (And yes I still hate being called that)

(PS You still owe me for that beer last week)

You wonder just how Ronan pulled thatoff when they dropped lunch off for you earlier today. But then…this is Ronan we’re talking about. You chuckle remembering someimpressive feat from way back when you found hilarious and Chendidn’t.

You shake your head and leave the notethere, feeling slightly lighter.

Is your phone in your pocket? No waitthe desk.

You send a message with a smile,really hopingRonan might still be up and then pick up your coat.

@erintoknow replied to your post: My gw2 experience is running around on an...

8 & 11 for wren?

8. If your OC had to take the S.A.T. tomorrow with one night to prep, how would they do?  both emotionally and academically.

Academically? Just fine. They wouldn’t even be too worried; Wren loves learning and investigating (yes, even revision), and they don’t even know how to procrastinate when there’s a project in front of them. Plus, they’re just... pretty damn smart.

Emotionally? Oh Wren, you got 100/100 but god at what cost. (The answer is an entire jar of coffee, an all-nighter, complete exhaustion, and an aching back from spending hours hunched over revision notes. Someone make them stop.)

11. What song is 100% guaranteed to get your OC beyond turnt and will be sung loudly and embarrassingly, either in public or the shower?

We been knew that Wren is a theatre nerd, so unsurprisingly, they’re also really into musical theatre. A few songs they love so much they’ll bawl them unashamedly in the shower (they’re much too shy to sing in public) are Close Every Door from Joseph because of [redacted location], and On My Own and Red and Black from Les Mis, because a) chargestep feels and b) revolution! 

Tysm for asking!!
