This is your first task, which is for us to understand just what’s going on inside your muse’s little head. Think of it like a second, shorter intro so that when we dare you, we dare you right. Please tag it with had:task001 so we can access it! Answers to the questions can be as literal or figurative, physical or nonphysical as you want them to be!
While all tasks are optional, this is the one that’s going to really help us out when it comes to dare creation time!

What’s your muse’s financial situation?: “Decent? I guess. I’ve got some money in my savings account. I don’t like using it unless there’s an emergency though. I mostly use the money I get from my job which... Okay you don’t make much from taking tickets at a Drive-In. I’m paycheck to paycheck mostly. Unless my parents send me something but I don’t like taking money from them.”
What’s your muse’s parents’ financial situation(s)?: “For them I can actually say they’ve got it well off. They lived in good economic years, they saved well, my dad was an accountant and my mom was a teacher. So when they retired they got pretty good benefits. They’re not super rich but they’ve got it nice.”
What’s on your muse’s birthday gift list? List at least five: “What am I fourteen? I haven’t had a birthday list in years. I guess what I’d like right now is... A criminology book would be rad. I could use more socks maybe with funky designs on them. A new hoodie or sweater, don’t tell my dad though he’ll think I’m freezing to death up here. You know those little gift cards that work anywhere? One of those would be nice so I can get some real food. And the complete collection of the Scream Movies. That’d be fun.”
Your muse gets one wish from a genie. What is it?: "Look I’ve read the genie stories, seen the movies and I know how genies work. You wish for one thing, anything and they fuck it, along with YOU, up. There’s no way in hell I’m making a wish with a genie.”
She’d probably write up a contract with the genie to make sure she didn’t get ruined by the genie’s wish, then wish to know why her biological father had killed her family.
What are your muse’s vices?: “I don’t sleep like I should. I prefer to drink coffee or soda over water. I tend to run into situations without thinking and I tend to run into those situations alone. Sometimes I smoke weed but that’s entirely recreational. If this is handed to the cops I know my rights.”
What does your muse love about themselves?: “My style’s bright, I’m pretty damn intelligent, I can make people stop talking to me with three sentences and I just enjoy being me. I love myself in general, I love who I am both outwardly and inwardly.”
What does your muse hate about themselves?: “I tend to overthink things. A lot of things. I don’t trust people easily or even like them and it gets lonely like that. I don’t really like being like that. But anyone will tell you it’s hard changing things.”
What would your muse do with a million dollars?: “Finish college, save it, invest it. It’d be fun to blow through at first but it’s more important to save that kind of money. I might pay for some fixes to my car and buy a Nintendo Switch along with the new AC game.”
What are your muse’s most logical fears?: “For my parents to die. Pretty basic I just don’t want to lose anymore people. I don’t have many people in the world. I’m also afraid someday I’ll grow up and become someone who believes they know everything. I don’t want to shut myself off to learning new things.”
What are your muse’s most illogical fears?: “... You know the Kool-Aid man? He freaks me out. Okay so this giant man made of unbreakable glass,whose blood you can fucking see is breaking down walls trying to make you drink his blood. That’s terrifying, right?!”
What makes your muse uncomfortable?: “Noise. Lots of loud noises and noisy people. I just don’t like noisy areas. I don’t like crowds either or talking about personal things with people I don’t know. Unless they’re my therapist, of course.”
What calms your muse down?: “Weed. I’m kidding. Rainy days calm me down, so do long drives and quiet places with lots of books, so libraries. Exploring abandoned places helps me relax too.”
Is your muse a follower or a leader?: “I don’t know if I’m a leader. If anyone followed me they’d probably find themselves at an abandoned place or somewhere dangerous. But I don’t think a follower. I like to do my own thing and if I don’t agree with someone I’ve got no problem saying it.”
What is your muse’s biggest accomplishment?: “The fact that I’ve survived twenty one years. That’s it. What did you expect me to say something cheesy like graduating high school or some shit? I’m twenty one dude I don’t have many accomplishments in my life.”
Naomi doesn’t have a lot of money to her name though she lives rather comfortably, at least for now. She’ll need to find herself some part-time work while she’s at Haddon to maintain her lifestyle.
WHAT’S YOUR MUSE’S PARENTS’ FINANCIAL SITUATION(S)?:
Her parents still live in Northern Germany, in a small town. It is not as expensive to live there as it is some other parts of the country or even the world, so they are fairly well off. They are not extravagantly wealthy by any stretch of the imagination but they certainly have enough money to support their daughter while she’s abroad, if she struggles to find work and support herself.
WHAT’S ON YOUR MUSE’S BIRTHDAY GIFT LIST? LIST AT LEAST FIVE:
A drama-free, fun night out with friends
A book somebody thinks she will love
Something quintessentially American that she can take home
YOUR MUSE GETS ONE WISH FROM A GENIE. WHAT IS IT?:
She wants to travel around the world, see the Wonders of the World, both natural and man-made. All of them are on her bucket list.
WHAT ARE YOUR MUSE’S VICES?:
She is a smoker and in common to the U.S., she has discovered that it is not quite as popular or as socially acceptable. She’s thinking about trying to quit, as a result. She also has a habit of ignoring her limits or boundaries in an effort to pursue adventure. She might drink too much, stay up to late, agree to ideas that are obviously dumb, all in the hopes that it may just be the most exciting thing she’s ever done.
WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE LOVE ABOUT THEMSELVES?:
She loves her heritage, the place she grew up in and her family. She also considers herself to be pretty clever, though she is starting to wonder if that’s true now that she is surrounded by equally as gifted academics.
WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE HATE ABOUT THEMSELVES?:
She wishes she was more decisive. She’s confident that it is just a phase and that she will grow out of her recklessness and inability to get her head straight but part of her worries that it’s just a part of who she is and that chaos is just something she’ll have to learn to live with some how.
WHAT WOULD YOUR MUSE DO WITH A MILLION DOLLARS?:
She would travel the world without a doubt. It wouldn’t be first class travel, she’d want to go to as many places as possible and see as many things as she could and make sure it was all documented through photos and journals.
WHAT ARE YOUR MUSE’S MOST LOGICAL FEARS?:
She’s worried that her reckless history will catch up to her and that new people she meets will judge her for the way she left Berlin.
WHAT ARE YOUR MUSE’S MOST ILLOGICAL FEARS?:
Dying without making a mark on the world in any significant way.
WHAT MAKES YOUR MUSE UNCOMFORTABLE?:
People who are too conservative and judge others for being different or more free-spirited than them.
WHAT CALMS YOUR MUSE DOWN?:
A cigarette, a good playlist and some time by herself to process things.
