rindeadsong asked: 21 and 38?
I’m gonna try to answer for all the projects I’ve got going~
also i seem to be answering these less accurately to what the wider world could be and more down to how the answers relate to the central story. It might do me well to try harder next time lol
21.
Lawrence: she doesn’t have much discretion regarding when and where she scratches herself. A lot of urges most people curb to be polite, she satisfies as a reflex. In most company she’d be considered rude, but Elliot poops with the door open, so I don’t think it’s an issue at home
Oleander: her sense of hygiene hasn’t improved since she was seven, so we can assume that at any given time it’s been months since she’s bathed. She exudes an impressive musk. Don’t figure her mouth smells great. But in a lot of ways she’s got childlike habits, picking at scabs and such. She also readily uses her mouth like another hand. Her teeth are pretty jacked up from being used to open or tighten containers and knots. She’s certainly not shy about biting.
Nicola: military life shaped her habits, later on she relaxes out of them, but some of the things she lived with in the barracks are gross outside the military. She readily wears the same few sets of clothes for weeks and often sleeps in her day clothes without thinking anything of it. She keeps her dirty clothes in her trunk with her clean clothes, so as neat as her space looks it’s just because she packs all of her things out of sight.
Melanie: She’s really messy with her workspace, it would be easy for her to lose food under papers and pile old dishes in a corner. Her language is sometimes coarse and confrontational, there would be situations where she doesn’t use the best dinner table language around people who’d be really concerned with that kind of thing.
38.
Red: it’s never going to be necessary for me to expand the supernatural world beyond Lawrence’s condition. Evidently there are other werewolves, however it’s unlikely she’ll ever encounter them. It isn’t a stretch to assume other cryptids are out there, but it’s not important to her story.
Oleander: no, right now I don’t believe there are or will be any supernatural entity in her world. Oleander is kind of simple, survival-oriented and lacking deep thoughts, so it would be hard to bring an entity like that enough to her level for her to relate to it at all. She never has a thought about “god” or the supernatural.
Almanac: even here, I’d say no. Alchemy looks like magic but at least in this world, it’s science. I go on about “the universe” a lot when talking about this, which is maybe so abstract most people in this world would regard the laws and patterns of the universe as some kind of entity. Which seems like a reasonable conclusion in philosophy.
seriously guys do this for me it will please me
