Dennis invites them all over to watch movies for his party
Robert’s party is a game night
Sandra wears very feminine stuff, and she loves it
Annie doesn’t often dress femininely, but she likes flowy skirts and dresses
Toxic masculinity is afraid of Max; this boy drinks respect women juice consistently, even if he’s not aware of it. He lets Sandra dress him up sometimes, he likes skirts and eyeliner
Jonathan doesn’t mind wearing skirts or dresses; he just finds them uncomfortable
Trevor likes crop and tank tops and wears eyeliner constantly
Chris begrudgingly let Sandra put him in a skirt, but he didn’t like it
Robert wears skirts around his house but never in front of others and would die if anyone, especially Chris, found out
Dennis just stood there uncomfortably until Sandra let him take the dress off
Max has a lot of money and often pays for his friends' food/buys them stuff
Literally no one can mention anything they want anywhere near him because he will find a way to get it for them
Trevor and Annie had to go on a road trip to get the chaise lounge for the set because Chris found one that he really wanted, but it was super far away
Annie loves reading and can be found deep in a book most of the time
Max and Annie are surprisingly good with kids
Chris has no idea what to do with a child
They have two separate group chats, one with all of them and one without Chris and Robert because Chris got mad at them for texting constantly and Robert just used it to bicker with Chris
Dennis, Trevor, Sandra, and Chris all have sleep issues
Trevor and Chris have insomnia
Dennis’s anxiety keeps him up
If Chris gets stressed (which he does often), they try their best to stay out of his way, except for Robert, who only bickers with him more until he snaps
Trevor just gives Annie a book and tells her to take a break when she’s stressed
Max doesn’t get stressed often, but when he does, everyone can tell and give him soundproof headphones, snacks, and a break
If Chris ever tries to boss him around when Max is stressed, Sandra and Trevor will physically remove him from Max’s area and force him to leave Max alone
Robert will just start snapping at people until Chris tells him to go home
Trevor hides his stress very well until he’s in a safe place; then, it all comes crashing down on him, and he needs a while to recover
Dennis gets stressed out a lot, the cast gives him an area backstage where he can go to calm down

Dennis taps his fingers together
Annie plays with her hair
Trevor shakes his leg and bites his nails
Max talks with his hands when he speaks
Robert gets jealous easily
There are many different kinds of tension between Chris and Robert
Due to Chris yelling Trevor’s name in the same way anytime Trevor messes up, the rest of the gang now just say “Trevor!” when anything goes wrong, even if it’s not Trevor’s fault
Max was the first person to have his script memorized
Annie sometimes goes on rants about the crew but only ever to Trevor and in private
Max’s family doesn’t come to the show, he pretends it doesn’t bother him
Chris sleeps with his eyes open and freaks everyone out
Robert argues/fights in his sleep
Max has full-on convos while he’s sleeping; he doesn’t remember them at all
If Chris ever got beat up, Robert would be the one to find out who did it, and he’d murder them
Robert would refuse to admit that he was jumped, but when he shows up with a black eye and claims it was from “running into a door,” everyone knows something is up
It is honestly impossible for anyone to physically hurt Sandra (minus doors smacking her in the face, lol)
Poor Dennis would be sobbing, and the moment someone asked him what happened, he’d break down even more and just tell them in the most high-pitched voice known to mankind. Chris wouldn’t waste any time telling Dennis to go home and take a break, then he’d put all of his efforts into making sure there were security cams all around the building. He’d also force everyone to take a self-defense class together
Max would walk in with a smile on his face and no sign of him being hurt, but naturally, he ends up falling or running into something, and he’d react bigger than he normally does. After a few minutes of him trying to convince everyone he’s fine, he embarrassingly tells them what happened. Trevor and Sandra join together to find the person who hurt Max and threatened them. They also stick closer to him than they ever did
Annie keeps going with her stage manager duties, and she tells Trevor about it. Trevor makes other people do all the heavy lifting she normally has to do, and he gets her pepper spray
Trevor is no stranger to getting attacked; being trans and gay in high school made sure of that. He knows the best way to treat any injuries he gets and doesn’t tell anyone
Jonathan’s ego is extremely damaged, and he sleeps off the pain during rehearsal. Chris goes to yell at him, but Sandra notices that he’s hurt and makes Chris back off
Sandra and Max love shopping, and they will drag Trevor, Annie, and Jonathan along with them
Jonathan pretends to have no clue what fashion is, he just wears t-shirts and sweatpants most of the time
Trevor is very fashionable; he just hates shopping
Annie’s entire wardrobe is overalls, jeans, graphic t-shirts, and two skirts
Max doesn’t know jack shit about clothes he just likes buying material objects
Jonathan walks very silently and scares everyone else
Jonathan and Chris like pineapple pizza
Sandra, Trevor, Jonathan, and Max have tattoos
Sandra has one on her back and a couple on her torso
Trevor has a few on his arms
Jonathan has one on his forearm, but he covers it up most of the time
Max, surprisingly, has a tattoo on his side. There was a moment in high school when he wanted to get one, so he did
Max went to a private school for his entire life
Trevor is a switch/power bottom, and he can totally be a brat
Chris is a bottom, but he’ll never admit it
Max is 100% a bottom. This boy loves to be taken care of
Robert is a top and he can be a bit of a bitch about it
Annie is a top, but she really doesn’t care
Sandra is a power bottom and a top
Robert has a fear of heights (only after The Goes Wrong Show)
Dennis has auditory processing issues
Trevor refuses to do things that he claims aren’t his job
Robert wears a lot of plaid
Annie is a terrible artist
Anytime any of them take a car trip together, they abide by the rule that whoever is in the passenger seat gets to choose the music, unless it’s Chris
Chris’s dad might just be racist
Jonathan has difficulty with doors
Max is often the one to defend crew members against an angry Trevor or Chris
Annie would make a great drag king
Dennis has a trove of useless knowledge in his head
Trevor on lead guitar and vocals
Sandra is the lead vocalist
Max plays the keyboard and sings
Jonathan plays rhythm guitar
Dennis kinda just does whatever
Sports they play/have played
Max plays baseball, sometimes the others watch his games. He isn’t the best, but he has fun
Annie plays volleyball, and she dominates the court
Sandra plays tennis, she’s great at it
Jonathan plays badminton and lacrosse
He and Sandra once tried to play their sports together, thinking badminton and tennis were interchangeable. They were wrong, and Sandra might have broken a window with a birdy
Robert can play football, big buy in a big game
Chris can play soccer, but because he’s British, he calls it football, and he gets mad whenever anyone (Robert) calls it soccer
Dennis doesn’t play sports, but he’s a good ref. The only issue is that he’s scared of anything hitting him
Trevor would rather die than play a sport, he was the kind of kid to walk the mile in high school
Max is fluent in French, and he knows ASL
Dennis knows a lot of languages, and he and Max will communicate in ASL
The sillies in a haunted house
Chris rolls his eyes to the sky before he goes in, but once he’s in, he jumps at every little sound
Robert’s response is to try and fight everything that startles him
Dennis is absolutely terrified and spends the entire time clenching Max’s hand and hiding his face in Max’s shoulder
Max holds Dennis’s hand, and he jumps at first but laughs, and instead of screaming, he makes “woo!” sounds
Sandra is the most relaxed out of all of them, she yelps at the appropriate times
Jonathan gets a rush of adrenaline, and it messes him up, so he just jumps slightly and then has a somewhat normal conversation with the scare actors
Trevor laughs whenever they scare him and complements the actors
Annie holds Trevor’s hand for support, and she genuinely enjoys the haunted house
Monopoly is banned from game nights due to it being the first time anyone saw Max angry (everyone was taking advantage of Dennis, making him almost cry, and Max didn’t stand for it)
How they are as roommates
Chris is really good at keeping the house clean but he has a chore chart for everyone and will get on their asses if they’re not doing their jobs and/or paying rent
Trevor isn’t the best. He pays rent but will blast/play loud music, and his room is a mess
Annie is a great roommate, 10/10, no complaints
Robert is a shit roommate, he doesn’t pay rent on time, he doesn’t clean, he’ll take other people’s stuff, and he will complain about his roommates for no reason
Dennis is a sweet baby who does everything he needs to, but he can’t stand up to his roommates
Sandra is a pretty good roommate, but she will practice her singing at inconvenient times and is sometimes behind on rent
Max is one of the best roommates; he buys all the groceries and pays most of the rent, but he’s not the greatest at cleaning
Jonathan can be very passive-aggressive to his roommates, and he cannot communicate. Besides that, he cleans up well and pays rent
Whenever Robert gets sick, he won’t stop complaining about it, even if he doesn’t feel bad
Chris tries so damn hard to keep working but eventually, he just looks terrible and is sluggish so everyone forces him to go home and rest
Max finds it so hard to rest; you’d think he’d be tired, but his brain won’t stop going, so after a while, he takes some meds and just sleeps
Dennis is scared about not going to rehearsal, but as soon as he walks through the doors, Sandra sends him home, promising she’ll talk to Chris so he won’t be mad (Chris never gets upset; he is actually concerned about Dennis)
Trevor texts Chris, “Sick, not coming to rehearsal,” to which Chris replies, “You better be in the hospital then.” Trevor sends him a photo of when he was in the hospital for his broken leg, convincing Chris that he’s at the hospital right now
Annie lays out the facts for Chris, and he’s a little frustrated that she’s sick cause she’s so vital, but he lets her rest
Jonathan falls into a deep sleep, and no one can reach him. Sandra breaks down his door only to find him snoring in his bed
Sandra pops an Advil and keeps going, but if anything happens to her voice, she goes home and doesn’t speak for the next 2-3 days
