❸: Name three things your muse considers themselves to be very good at, and three things they consider themselves to be very bad at.

“Very good? Ah, shit. Well, lessee...I’m a fair hand at darts. Y’know I kin hit center’ve th’board more often than I don’t. Ain’t a bad artist either. I like sketchin’ things, particularly what I come across in m’travels. Not too shabby a cook either. Y’learn t’get real handy wit’ a campfire when that’s most’ve what ya’ got. I always keep a few basic spices on me, an’ typically know where t’find others an’ I kinda base what I make around what’s available in th’area.”

“Now as fer what m’terrible at? List could go on. I suck at weavin’. I kin stitch good enough but when it comes t’finer workin’s or creatin’ m’own clothes in that regard I can’t do a whole lot that ain’t jus’ patchin’ up. M’th’worst kinda liar. That is t’say I can’t hardly do it. Somethin’ jus’ always gives me away. Gamblin’. Love th’pastime but don’t have me place th’bets. Real easy way t’lose all ya’ gil.”

Page 02. --- Quatres personnes ont étés blessés et une cinquième a été appréhendée sous une accusation de voies de fait graves, de bonnes heures ce matin, à la suite d'une bagarre à coups de couteau survenue dans un club, au No 276, rue Ste-Oatherine est. 

On Ignore encore ie motif de cette querelle mais la situation internationale n’y serait pas étrangère. Les victimes sont: M. René Dubois, 3I ans, 1851, rue Plessis, employé de l'établissement, qui souffre de plaies contuses au bras gauche qui ont nécessité quatre points de suture; Eracet Ranco, 27 ans. 1577, rue Hôtel de Ville, employé de l'établissement, atteint d'un coup de couteau à la poitrine et au bras gauche; Guy Charette, 32 ans. 400, rue Outremont, un témoin qui voulut intervenir, blessé à l'oeil gauche et à ia main droite. Une quatrième personne a été blessée mais elle a pris la fuite et on ignore son Identité de même que la gravité de ses blessures.

Les trois autres blessés ont été transportés à l'hôpital St-Luc. pour y être pansés. Ils ont pu ensuite retourner leur domicile.

Le détenu est John Meahan. 34 ans, 2088 rue Sanguinet. C’est lui au dire de la police, qui aurait frappé Ranco. Les agents spéciaux Lawton et Cyr, du poste No 4, firent tout d’abord enquête, de même que les policiers Goyer et Foucher, de radio-police, le sergent Mardi, et les sergents-détectives Hétu et Meilleur, de la patrouille de nuit. Ces renseignements nous ont été communiqués par le sergent Langevin, du poste No 4.

If you could ask Michael Jackson 3 questions,what would they be?

[the-wanted-man]

4. What type of discipline was your character subjected to at home? Strict? Lenient? 21. What are your character’s manners like? What is their type of hero? Whom do they hate?

     Augustus Geronimo Wyld could be considered a kind man and a polite once once you got past his stern nature and rawhide exterior, but he was the type of man that liked to keep his household in order when it came to conduct and presentation.

    Growing up, Lawrence knew to treat animals kindly, to ma'am, sir or whatever was preferred by an individual, to say please and thank you, and to treat everyone with respect no matter how different they were, or how much better off you might think yourself to be compared to anyone else and these were just the lessons August instilled into his boy from the day Law knew how to comprehend yes from no.

    Now, Lawrence was the apple of his daddy's eye, so one could almost say he lived a spoiled life because there wasn't anything Augustus wouldn't do for the boy. His father had gil to spare as an established Ceruleum trader and practically made money just to spend it, so Law just had to show a passing interest in something for his father to go ahead and grab it for him.

    That said, August didn't refrain from discipline when it was necessary and took a firm but guiding approach when his son strayed too far off the path of righteousness. He never had to use force to get his point across either. August Wyld was just a man you respected without him needing to ask twice. He led by example and provided Law with many of the tools and courtesies that the cowboy is so prone to today.

    His father was and still is, Lawrence's ideal hero but to call August a hero alone would be marring the truth somewhat, and completely false depending on who you talked to. At his worst, August was a stone cold killer and at his best, still a man who took the law into his own hands depending on where his moral compass aligned but he always made a point to only be what someone deserved.

    If you were good and honest, he was good and honest right back and did what he could to take care of the people around him. August was never someone you needed to question if he said he had your back, and people always knew that if you needed anything, August was the guy. On the flip side, if you crossed him, or if you did something he deemed to be too much of a problem then you saw a different side to him completely.

    In reality, August's father is everything he wants to emulate in a man and the people Lawrence hates are typically of a caliber his father would dislike as well. Men who see 'might as right' and power and privilege as a means to terrorize their fellow spoken.

32. How does your character react to stress situations? Defensively? Aggressively? Evasively?

“Listen. Some things are jus’ better left fer later dealin’.” 

Lawrence hates stress with a passion. If we’re being honest, stress is a constant companion of his if only because being on the run has a tendency to make one feel paranoid but he can only tolerate what he’s used to. Anything above that threshold usually gets pushed to the wayside. 

When he eventually gets backed into the corner of actually having to deal with his problems though he’s vicious and does so pointedly. Ready to be over and done with a situation by the time he’s confronted with it. This can lead him to act in brash manners that might not ultimately be in his best interest either and the intensity of those stressors will dictate the reaction. 

Sup nerd. Thanks for the ask! 

Prompt: Character Solidifying Asks

💭!!!

"Ah, right. Th'good cat Frey. What a character. We ain't known each other long and run into each other infrequently but I ain't ever had a bad time wit'em. Th'company they keep is about as interestin' as they are but t'describe Frey in any one way would be diminishin' of th'individual overall. They strike me mercurial, capable've a great many things though its up t'you t'guess what those things might be. I couldn't tell ya', an' I think that's somethin' they prefer fer th'most part. Keeps people on their toes, I think. Eccentric though, would be a good start, I reckon." He shrugs, easing his hands over his belt buckle as he considered further.

"They're well liked, quirky, have great taste in fashion. An' carin'. Ain't shore if they mean t'show that side've themselves, but I seen it in how they care fer their lovers, or in th'way they seem...Mmn... Concerned, about individuals in their own lives. I know someone or somethin' been botherin' them lately, or maybe multiple someone's. They always seem t'be talkin' about somebody th'past few times I came across 'em but...I don't listen too hard. Point is, Frey is good people. Full've many complexities that ultimately make an interestin' individual."

💝 - have they ever been in love, and with who?

⚠️ - the worst deed they’ve done/crime they’ve committed?

💝 - have they ever been in love, and with who?

     ‘I...dunno.” he flushes instantly, brown skin taking on a tint of red but there’s a certain kind of honesty to his answer. “Sometimes...I wanna think I have...other times I feel like there are things I’ve felt...that just that. Somethin’ I wanted t’believe in. Like uh..ghosts. There’s plenty that likely ain’t seen ‘em, but..everybody talks. I probably fake seen it more times than I kin count.’       “I reckon...what’s more likely I’ve felt versions’ve th’big ‘L’ word, found many reasons t’love on another, but...don’t think I’ve ever -been- in love. Never felt that real...thing. Jus’...th’ideas’ve it. Things that’ll be pale reflections, terrible comparions’ve th’real thing.”      “At this point, I doubt I ever will be, an’ have long since passed th’point’ve admittin’ I could be wit ‘anyone else. It’s...not fer me, I’ve decided, with tentative willingness t’be surprised.”

⚠️ - the worst deed they’ve done/crime they’ve committed?

      “Guess it...make a certain sense t’explain m’views on ‘crime’. There is no such thing as law. No dictation’ve what people can or can’t do. Only th’pursuit’ve happiness, an’ self-fulfillment: so long as it don’t interfere with th’freedom’s of another. So th’only true crimes t’me, are those which restricted that’ve others. Moral crimes, I’d call these, I reckon.” he clears his throat.

     “....so there’s uh...a few things behind this. A code, if y’will. Murder ain’t really...so bad. I mean it is, if done fer th’wrong reasons. That sounds like a slippery slope but there’s more to it. Preservation’ve life is important - but sometimes sacrifices are made to take care’ve th’whole. Puttin’ down a rabid dog, t’preserve th’pack fer example. An’ even then, only as a last resort. Th’idea is that y’did everything, ” he licks his lips, as if putting this in words either evoked certain memories, or made the subject more difficult to speak. Eventually, he swallows. “Everything y’could’ve ‘til there was nothin’ left else to do.”

     “I killed a man once. In cold blood. It’s...different. I’ve taken lives before. Not many, but I have. They don’t quite haunt ya’ like th’ones that ain’t quite deserve it. This man, there was hope fer him, likely. Someone I likely could’ve come t’even terms wit’...an’ eventually take ‘im on at a time where odds at least was comparable. I didn’t though. Took his life over some dumb emotions. Never seen it comin’. Neither’ve us did,  I reckon.”

@henessy-ffxiv - thank you for the ask, please accept this very belated answer!
