Accidentally gets lost in a corn maze: [minam]

Choses the pumpkin:It’s a group vote, each lobbying for their own pick.

Carves the pumpkin:Adam beheads, Mina guts (it has to be perfect), and they both design.

Gets scared and clings the other in a haunted house:Mina, definitely. Although scaring her at this point might blackout the haunted house, sooo…

Matching costume idea:Hmm. They go to a Halloween store, Adam puts on a giant top hat, something is said about a Mad Hatter, and bam–Alice and the Mad Hatter costumes are a must.

Makes a cozy bed-fort to cuddle in:Maybe not to cuddle, but Adam might make one when Mina’s feeling bad to cheer her up. Best used for coffee sipping and book reading.

Steal’s the other’s candy:Neither–they have negotiations. 

Accidentally gets lost in a corn maze:Mina would be way too logical about it to get lost, so I guess Adam.

Tells spooky stories to scare the other:Ooooooh what if they both told the other their favorite “literary” scary stories? All Poe and Hawthorne and stuff like that? YAS

Collects cool-looking leaves:Minaaaa (:

Attempt two; Mina! ☺️

2-4 songs that are probably on their iPod

“Time of My Life” by Patrick Wolf“Feather Moon” by Vienna TengThe Art of Fugue, Contrapunctus 4 by J.S. Bach“Must Be Dreaming” by frou frou

the one place they sometimes end up falling asleep — where they’re not supposed to

Libraries, after spending hours there, surrounded by a pile of books

the game they’d destroy everyone else at

Hide’n’seek ;P

the emoticon they’d use most often

ouo

what they act like when they haven’t had enough sleep

Sweaters, coffee, an explosion of hair, quiet but still friendly.

their preferred hot beverage on really cold nights. or mornings. or whenever.

Tea, classic brews

how they like to comfort/care for themselves when they’re in a slump

Reading, all of the reading.

what they wanted to be when they grew up

Something in biochem research, like her parents

their favorite kind of weather

Scarf weather

thoughts on their singing voice (decent? terrible? soprano? alto?)

Oh, she doesn’t sing much. (It’s not bad, but there’s no power to it.)

how/what they like to draw or doodle

Swirly things, paisleys.

S, t, e, p, h (did u c wot i did?) ☺️

i c wot u did

S: has the strongest spirit.

Hmm. I have a lot of “spirited” characters. I was thinking people like Mina or Isra, but then my “quieter” characters gently cleared their throats. Elinor has a wicked strong will, which may be different than spirit. Sophie has a strong spirit; she kind of has to. IDK I GOT SOME STRONG CHARACTERS

T: is the most terrifying.

Daniel proudly stepped forward at this, and it’s true, he’s the most overtly scary character. I guess. Or he tries to be. [side eyes] But there are different kinds of scary. The “retired” but occasionally present voice of Dr. Jonathan Crane is creepy. Ione will literally eat you. Mathilda started killing people at the age of twelve and never looked back. Isra is a religious zealot who serves a goddess of death. TAKE YOUR PICK. 

E: is the most emotive.

Willoooooooow. Sometimes she tries not to be, and often she overemphasizes “good” emotions, but yeah. Willow. 

P: is the purest, most perfect cinnamon roll.

Sophie <3 (also maybe Caleb)

H: trusts their horoscope the most.

Sophie and Verena might use actual moon/star charts, and thus put trust in them, but I was originally thinking of the terrible things you see in magazines and websites. For the latter… Greer? Like, she’d never admit it, but she kind of checks them with some regularity. Not for big stuff, but like... “Blue is a good color today for you” and she wears blue.

“Time-wasting” sounds like “useless,” but her biggest time suck is books, and she considers those far from useless, even if they’re not Nobel Prize winners. If pressed to pick something “useless,” she’d probably say shopping. She doesn’t go often, but she does like clothes, so she can spend a while shopping.
