Hear that? It's time for a Class Trial! Except this time, we are asking the real questions.
Out of all of the muses on this blog,
Who could come up with the greatest hero monologue?
Who could come up with the greatest villain monologue?
Who has the best poker face?
Who has been caught lying, tricking or pranking others the most?
Who would be the best caregiver to someone who was unwell?
Who would be the least responsible while babysitting/pet-sitting?
Who has the most unique party trick/talent (and what is it)?
Who has the messiest bedroom/office/workspace?
Who has the worst attention span?
Who has the worst crash-outs after losing board games or card games such as Monopoly or UNO?
Ooh, these ARE the real questions!
Gentle Side Note for the Future: We're personally not fond of the term "crash-out," as it has a derogatory vibe towards emotional volatility, especially historically in the context of BPD. A lot of our Oumas have BPD, and so they're a bit uncomfortable with the connotations it has towards splitting episodes and the like. In casual jest, we prefer the term "gamer moment," as it sounds less serious and doesn't really have an inherent connotation to it, and can even be read as positive in some contexts.
With that out of the way, let's take a look! Of course, some of these may be lies, nishishi.....
1. Who could come up with the greatest hero monologue?
Mae insists that Cotard can and has! Which, fair I think, since he gave that entire motivational spiel in the NWP and honestly if it was anything like the canon one in the final chapter of SDR2, then I'm inclined to agree. That shit really moved me.
Kichi's also gone on some pretty thought-provoking philosophical monolgues to himself before, one of which he posted talking about lies and that kind of reads like an antihero monologue to me. So if there was an aware for best antihero monologue, it'd go to him and/or Cookie.
2. Who could come up with the greatest villain monologue?
Joker probably. He's the mastermind of his game, after all, but that's a lie.
3. Who has the best poker face?
The Izurus, hands down. They will say some of the most inane shit with a straight face purely because they know no one will believe us.
Barring that, probably Joker.
4. Who has been caught lying, tricking or pranking others the most?
Non-maliciously? Kichi, but he's been here the longest so that might be cheating. Petty's a pretty close second, though, and then there was the entire ward debacle with Loopy...
5. Who would be the best caregiver to someone who was unwell?
That really depends on the situation and the type of care they need! The Oumas are very caring, such is their nature given their Talent, but their methods depending on which one it is can vary greatly from soft guidance to the most antagonistic "psychological cornering" most are familiar with from the game.
Outside of that, Umami does well to take very good care of his Ouma, but that really only applies to his Ouma. He's capable of being a model caregiver, but only if he really sees merit in going out of his way.
Lumin is also a pretty strong contender as he and his husband practically adpoted Joker, me, and Pick.
6. Who would be the least responsible while babysitting/pet-sitting?
Prooooobably Clover (yeah, he switched back to his old name, sorry for the inconvenience!). It's not that he isn't responsible, so much as he's very forgetful for... obvious reasons. So he struggles with a lot of the things that are necessary for looking after someone or something.
7. Who has the most unique party trick/talent (and what is it)?
It's hard to really narrow things down with that, so here's a few:
Many of the Oumas like eating the most inadvisable flavor combinations in front of people just to freak them out. Think sriracha sauce on chocolate croissants and honey on pizza.
Outside of party tricks and more in the realm of funny stories and shit they do, Petty's a veteran of the Europan War, and talks a lot about how he had to eat his Amami to survive.
Bindle and his Amami choose to live in the city's sewers for no apparent reason, and are very familiar with exploring the sewers and connecting tunnels that run beneath the city.
Umami and his Ouma like to go out in the woods sometimes and get deliberately lost before Umami breaks out the compass to find their way home again, for no reason other than to manage Umami's chronic boredom.
Honorable mention to our irl friends, one of whom was challenged by Fuyuhiko to write something from his perspective, only to be shocked when they ended up literally writing his exact diary as a fanfiction, and another of whom can tell all the Oumas apart by their voice alone. The Oumas have tested this extensively, trying to trip her up with lies by switching around mid-conversation and the like. It's kind of scary!
8. Who has the messiest bedroom/office/workspace?
Cookie's immediate answer was Iru-chan, but she's not on this blog so she doesn't count www
Other than that, Cookie's DICE's wing is an organized sort of chaos because they've turned the main room into essentially a giant pillow fort, the "pillow room" they call it, and most of them prefer to pile in there to sleep together instead of in their own individual rooms.
Lumin's also reported that Joker's room is an absolute disaster zone of paper. He had a tendency to even scribble on the walls, but that at the very least Lumin and his husband insisted he clean off until he stopped.
9. Who has the worst attention span?
Probably the permaregressors, Koko or Bindle. Maybe Kichi on the rare occasions when he's regressed. The Komaedas kind of feel like cheating to say here...
10. Who has the worst gamer moments after losing board games or card games such as Monopoly or UNO?
