Tagged by @mysticstarlightduck here, thanks! I believe the name of the game is to answer the questions as your OC, so.
SO if you want to play, here's your questions:
1.) What do you do on your down time?
2.) Do you celebrate any holidays?
3.) Do you know how to change a light?
------------------------------------------------
Spun the OC wheel and got!
(It's Kashi!!!)
Which means Kashi is going to answer the questions below:
What is your worst nightmare?
Probably the day I was lured away from my family and returned to find it slaughtered. I have yet to experience much of anything that was worse than that night.
Do you have any favorite bedtime routines?
I like staring up at the stars. Otherwise no.
What's your favorite scent?
There's a particular scent that enters the air when it's cold. The air is chilled but not heavy, and the snow is fresh and light enough that small puffs of it hang in the air after each step, where the smells trapped below are released with the disturbance, and despite the chill and cold and silence you can still smell the last bits of green life that are clinging on beyond reason.
...I like that scent.
Otherwise it'd be the scent of dirt caught in my mate's fur after he's been digging and rolling in fresh mountain grass. (For Reference, she and her family/mate are shapeshifters that favor a wolf-like form)
Rules: Post a line that you’re tremendously pleased by and a line that’s just out-of-context ridiculous/makes you laugh
(The Almighty Wheel landed on Halfblood, Kashi's WIP SOOOOO)
Honestly I'm pleased by this line because it really leans into the whole 'Rod and Kashi see/know each other':
"I know your real pain, she-wolf, and I know that taking care of a snot-nosed little pointy-eared like her has to be sticking in that hurt and twisting it nine ways to sunday. So I'm just curious…why."
Out Of Context that makes me laugh (because that's pretty much every other Rod line in this thing):
"Some place your guardian would have taken you if she had any brains other than bite bite kill kill," Rod chirped as he quickly skipped off ahead.
Tagged by @diphthongsfordays (here) and @willtheweaver (here!) Thanks for the tag, guys!
So far my lines to find are:
a line about dreams, a line about hope, a line about cold, a line about loyalty, a line introducing a character, a line about dreams, a spooky line, a line where a character questions themselves/ their beliefs, and a sarcastic line
(And we're just gonna be pulling from all the WIPs lol)
IF YOU PLAY:
Find A line about love (platonic or otherwise), A line about reading, A line about a bug (or someone being called a bug?), A line about food, and A line about a dance!
-------------------------------------------------
a line about dreams (Abracadabra, Rod POV)
Everything around me grew distorted by the suddenly-vibrant purple sky, things beginning to fade in and out of sight like a dream.
a line about hope (Crunchy Vampire Wasteland WIP - Trevor POV)
On that, so far no response. Again. Still. Ever. But something in me can't just give up hope.
a line about cold (Halfblood WIP, Kashi POV)
I pulled open the door and we slipped from the warmth of nature to the artificial cold, enhanced by the tile floors and vents every few feet.
a line about loyalty (Halfblood, Kashi POV and this was the closest I could get lol)
"I said I trust him as far as I can throw him." Layla gave me a look and I spared her a glance. "I can throw very far."
a line introducing a character (Crunchy Vampire Wasteland WIP - Trevor POV)
Turns out, I managed to snag myself what looks like a prototype for one of the fully synthetic humans they were advertising way back when.
a line about dreams (Discarded bit from Halfblood - Kashi's POV)
“We’re a little past ‘I had a bad dream’ and not talking about it,” I said, sitting.
a spooky line (Abracadabra, Rod's POV)
As we walked, the ship almost seemed to breathe, complete with the walls shifting and creaking despite the fact that it hadn’t moved yet.
a line where a character questions themselves/ their beliefs
(I know I'm going to have these scenes but I haven't written them yet so no lines to share😅)
a sarcastic line (Crunchy Vampire Wasteland WIP - Alex line)
"Yeah, I doubt that they thought about apocalyptic wasteland living when they decided on that feature."

OC Wheel fell upon the name of Kashi, and so that's who'll be answering the questions!
For those who want to play, your OC's questions are:
If you could go anywhere (your world, other worlds, universe, etc) where would you go and why? (And for those that have it, I'm going to say time-travel counts)
If you could/are on social media, which platform do you use the most?
What is your go-to when conflict arises? (anything from a person carjacking to something like full-on attacking you, do you run/fight/scream/hide behind someone/etc)
Said Questions:
1.) What is a thing that would break your trust in a person immediately?
When someone tells me that my sister is dead knowing full well she is alive and on the same planet as I, and then actively works to keep us separated because he believes it is safer for us both that way.
2.) What is your favorite animal? Have you ever had a pet/or want one?
We do not keep pets. Onishiki believe in companionship but freedom. If a creature wishes to stick around, I will not force it to leave me. But given my life, if I like a little thing enough to let it stay around then I like it enough to encourage it's survival. And that is often achieved by being far away from me.
3.) Who do you look up to the most?
When my parents died, there was another from the Umatoe clan that took me in. He gathered up my sister and I from the cold, hunted for us, taught us stories and mythologies and creeds. He took care of us until we were steady enough to rejoin a pack. I have not seen him since. But if I look up to anyone in the worlds, it would be him.
Gently tagging! (and hoping my taglist is still accurate)

Combination Heads up Seven up and just a general Writing Share!
So here, have a bit of stuff. Seven random lines from Halfblood, Kashi's WIP:
"Get ready," I told Layla, putting her down and reaching for my face.
My fingers found the scars in my skin.
"Time for a quick exit."
She nodded, nervously glancing at the others with a flick of a pointed ear.
I began to summon the correct magic with a hum. It thrummed through my body, allowing the scars to become the edges of the mask I wore. My fingers found them and I increased my humming as I began to pull. The mask pressed against my false skin began to come away, unraveling the illusion of my humanity.
