Happy Meet and Greet Monday! For any OC of your choice, what would they do in case they were put under a stressful situation. For example, if they were put in a room that a bomb was about to explode, would they panic, would they look around to find a way out, would they try to stop it somehow, pray or sth else? Again, this could be for any stressful situation. (from @dotr-rose-love)

Bethany: oh my gods @dotr-rose-love there’s a bomb?!?!! I was lied to! This was meant to be an invite only secret tequila party!!

I’ve walked right into a trap, haven’t I. At least that explains why I’m the first person to show up. Am probably the only guest too. And— oh look, a table of tequila! I’m guessing that’s the bomb.

Bethany lifts the tablecloth, discovering the bomb underneath

Wow, that’s a big one. I better get out of here and call someone to come stop it before it goes off. Can’t seem to get a signal though... and the doors are locked. Hmm.

Bethany picks up a bottle of tequila to have a drink, noticing only after she’s had several mouthfuls that the counter on the bomb has begun.

Whoops. Ok, maybe I can diffuse it. It can’t be that hard, surely. You just cut the red wire or something and then the timber stops with a second to go and— damnit, all the wires are red! Sigh. Guess I’m going to have to wait for it to explode then. This is totally going to ruin my hair - the last time I was blown up it took ages to get rid of the smell! And it’s going to destroy my outfit too and I really like this jacket! Look at all the sequins!

Bethany sits down and challenges herself to drink as much as she can before the timer expires.

Happy M&GM! For an OC of your choice: you are casually walking in a forest and you hear a strange sound coming from... somewhere. What do you do?

For Seth I’ve already written such an occurrence in Rosethorn, so I’m going to deviate from the prompt slightly and just copy paste that, if that’s ok...

(For context, Seth is at this moment in time pretending to think an assassination attempt on him has succeeded in order to get out of his duties as Crown Prince of Adem, assisted by his semi-sentient Method Acting.)

Seth’s surroundings consisted of lots of green, the smell of outdoors and a wretched howling loudly in the distance. No, not the distance, he decided after brief observation. Quiet. And close, in all directions.

A normal man would simply have described this as a forest, but Seth was more observant than that. His method acting proclaimed that ghosts were hyper-aware of their surroundings, and far more appreciative of it thanks to the ironic contrast of death and its view into the attributes of life he was now missing out on. That and there was bugger all else to do.

Rustling interrupted Seth’s appreciation of his surroundings. He swung around to see nothing he hadn’t already observed for the past hour.

Something like suspicion niggled at him, but it couldn’t be actual suspicion because that was an instinct and ghosts have no instincts, his method acting reminded him, except for perhaps the sudden urge to shout ‘BOO!’ in dark corridors.

In death there was no suspicion, his method acting reminded him. Just memories. And senses. And other-worldly thoughts, he’d just decided.

There it was again. That unidentified rustling.

He kicked himself away from the tree behind him and slowly approached the sound.

He grossly misjudged its direction.

As was evident by the strong arms wrapped around his elbows from behind.

TLDR: when confronted by dubious sounds in the forest, Seth thinks about it hard for a few moments before doing nothing about it.

Thanks for the ask!

Happy Meet and Greet Monday! How would your OCs fill in the statement "Came for the [blank], stayed for the [blank]"?

Bethany: Came for the freedom, stayed for the tequila

Blake: Came for the target, stayed because I fell for the target

Happy Meet and Greet Monday! For any of your characters: Do you have a job? If yes, do you enjoy it, or would you wish you could be doing sth else as a profession? If you have no job, and had one week that you could be anything you wanted, what would you become? (from @dotr-rose-love)

Thanks @dotr-rose-love

Bethany: I’m a bartender. I’ve been doing it on and off since I ran away from home, and have been at my current bar for the past 3 years. I have so much fun there, even though Faith and I aren’t rostered on together anymore. I really really love it.

Never thought I would have a job though. Had I stayed home there’s no way my parents would have ever let me become a bartender... they didn’t want me working at all, and if they ever did agree I would have probably ended up doing a nothing job in one of their companies.

Bartending is the way better choice.

Blake: I do procurement for a private collector and I fucking hate it. Sounds great in theory, but in reality it sucks. My boss doesn’t care if the shit he wants is not for sale or it’s in a meuseum - bastard won’t take no for an answer, so I end up stealing stuff more often than not.

It’s worse when he wants people. Normally he just asks me where they are but occasionally he sends me after them and... yeh.

I didn’t even want this fucking job! I had a good one already - was in army intelligence and I was bloody good at it! But like I said, my boss doesn’t take no for an answer, so he ruined my life to make me take the job. I can’t even quit, and dying would only make it worse.

Happy Meet and Greet Monday! How would your characters handle one of those "fake baby assignments", where they have to take care of an egg for a week? Do they partner up? Name it? Boil it to keep it safe, totally missing the point?

Bethany’s egg would end up broken on day 1. She forgets not everything is invulnerable like her. By the time it happens though she would have already named it (Eggsy) and decorated it (with glitter). Faith would be devastated, as she was planning on being the cool wine aunt to it and looking after it the next day.

Everyone would think Blake would either boil the egg or not give a shit at all, as he doesn’t seem the type to care about things, but he would take amazing care of it. Nothing but the best for his egg. And look out anyone who even jokes about cracking it - he will hit you back.

Happy Meet and Greet Monday! For whichever OCs would care to answer: Do you have any siblings? If they had children, what would you want them to call you? How would you spend a day with them of their parents asked you to babysit?

Bethany: I had a brother named Harrison, but some jerk murdered him when he was a baby. Was like 20 years ago and I still miss him lots. Sometimes I wonder what he’d be like if he had lived - would we be close like I hoped? Would my parents have been less strict, as I feel like him dying is what made them even more scared of losing me. I mean, the curse doesn’t help, but maybe I would have had a bit more freedom?

Anyway if he lived and had kids, I’d try look after them. Kids can be fun once they’re past baby stage, and toddlers are like tiny drunk people. I’m used to handling drunk people. And Auntie Bee sounds awesome!! If Faith has babies I’m totally going to be Auntie Bee.

Happy M&GM! For an OC of your choice: you are late. Super late. Again. And you know whoever is waiting for you will be very mad. What will you do?

Okay so i've really tried to come up with a character that is always late but aparently all of them are super punctual -.- oops. So if they were late again they would be extremly frantic and the other person angry and worried. I can't think of another scenario...

Happy MGM! What is your OC's favourite TV show? Or which one would be their favourite if they lived in our world?

Bethany: ok so I don’t really watch that much tv , but I was at Faith’s one day and this show Dr Pimple Popper came on and oh my gods. Have you seen it? So fascinating.

Blake: the footy. Or the cricket. And tennis during the Aus Open.

Faith: Say Yes to the Dress. It’s funny and I love seeing all the dresses
