hands you these numbers
Darryl: 1, 3, 9, 12
Butch: 5, 8, 10, 15
Elster: 4, 12, 13, 18
Amsel: 2, 3, 15, 20
Darryl:
1. On a scale of “is occasionally forced to bathe” to “Instagram model with sponsors to hoe for” how involved is your OC’s Skincare routine?
Showers on a consistent schedule when she has the ability to. Not showering for prolonged periods of time doesn't bother her, as she's used to being in situations where it's often not available. Skincare consists of the standard body soap + shampoo + conditioner trifecta, and if it's available, some kind of lotion to keep her skin from drying out too much
3. What’s something pointless/petty/unimportant that IRRATIONALLY ANNOYS THE HELL out of your OC?
Those people who are just absolute LARP-y gun nuts who romanticize the US and its military, and insist on being an ultra-nationalist patriot who thinks slapping the US flag on everything they own makes them more american
Paetially because I think she would just hate how obnoxious they are, but I don't think it would bother her quite so much until later in life and has actually been in war and combat, and realizes that these people don't understand what the hell they're talking about
9. What would cause your OC to chose to do something petty/pointlessly cruel?
Finding the person who killed her son, or anyone who personally hurts or kills someone she cares about
12. What perfectly-normal-to-them-thing does your OC do that confuses/pisses off/terrifies their neighbors?
I think she might have some habits from being in active combat situations that would have confused people pre war that didn't know what caused them. Though, I guess it would really be a mix of habits, muscle memory, and possibly some ptsd as well, the kind that has her instinctively moving to retaliate if someone takes her off guard, or has her automatically checking where she's as for enemies
Butch:
5. Does your OC get lost easily? What do they do when they do get lost?
I think I mentioned previously that they don't get lost easily, but that is entirely dependent on them paying attention. If they can't pay attention to their surroundings, then they're much more likely to get lost. Of course, it also depends on just how complicated the area is and how much twisting and turning is going on. They won't be memorizing the layout of a maze, but they can reliably pick up on the general layout of an area after a few passes through it
8. If your OC had to take the S.A.T. tomorrow with one night to prep, how would they do? both emotionally and academically.
Well I would imagine they've already had to take it before, so they likely wouldn't do too bad academically, and probably wouldn't really be that worried about it. That is assuming that it's just a "hey take this test" situation, and not a literal life or death situation. Stress goes up as the stakes rise
10. On a scale of “Complete and Justified nervous breakdown” to “Conquer The Entire Galaxy and become an Immortal God-Emperor”, how well would your OC handle being abducted by Aliens?
Again, depends on the context in which they're being abducted. Either way, they'd likely be pretty goddamn freaked out, but trying extremely hard to keep calm and take notice of literally everything they can in case they need to try and escape. Granted, if the context is a little more chill and the aliens aren't, like, trying to perform a vivisection, and are just kinda chillin', they'll be a little less stressed out, but still plenty freaked out
15. How often does your OC “zone out” or do things on autopilot and how severe have the problems that have arisen from that been?
Zoning out and going into autopilot would most often happen when they're working on a project or some other task. If it's something complicated thay requires a lot of concentration, then they can get so engrossed in it that that's the only thing they're focusing on and everything else may as well not exist, which would often lead to them not getting enough sleep before getting frozen as they would often lose track of time and go to bed later than they wanted
If it's just a task that doesn't require a lot of thought or focus, then depending on how long it takes they'll be more likely to go into autopilot where their body is doing the task, but their brain has mostly checked out and is off doing something else
Elster:
4. What’s your OC’s response to being asked for money by a homeless person?
Ignores them and keeps going. It doesn't even register to him
12. What perfectly-normal-to-them-thing does your OC do that confuses/pisses off/terrifies their neighbors?
If him and Amsel had any neighbors where they lived, I would imagine that him singing would probably piss a few people off eventually. Also, the fact that he not only has a turkey vulture for a pet, but also a tenek likely puts a lot of people off, especially since he's probably the type to talk to and act like they're his little babies
13. Under what circumstances would your OC appear naked in public?
Listen, if he's in a pickle, he's in a pickle, and he'll just have to own it and roll with the punches
18. What’s the trashiest item in your OC’s wardrobe, when was the last time they wore it and why do they still have it?
I can't imagine he even has much of a wardrobe, but ye olde booty shorts made by cutting the legs off a pair of pants/jeans. Don't think it's an everyday piece of clothing, but it still gets worn from time to time. Maybe also a harness of some kind
Amsel:
2. What are your OC’s food preferences (flavors/textures/spiciness/calories/ when and how they eat) and how did they get that way?
Is used to not havung the luxury of being able to just pick and choose, so if you ask her for specific preferences, you'll likely not get any helpful answers. But she likes sweet stuff, since it likely wouldn't be something she'd have ready access to. Kinda like that one really poem about a woman talking about when the seasons change and the traders bring mangoes from somewhere else
Although, tbh I think she'd like a lot of different stuff, so long as the flavors are strong. It adds excitement
3. What’s something pointless/petty/unimportant that IRRATIONALLY ANNOYS THE HELL out of your OC?
People who don't know how to get to the fucking point
15. How often does your OC “zone out” or do things on autopilot and how severe have the problems that have arisen from that been?
Doesn't zone out much, if at all, unless she's like. At home or smth and isn't worried about having to watch out. Would likely zone out a bit if she's doing something, but not by much
I could, however, see her potentially going into autopilot mode if she's been awake long enough, or if something has happened to her. Just has muscle memory and instinct take over if she's unable to keep fully conscious or aware
20. What’s your OC smell like? no, not that “Vanilla and Anxiety” evocative stuff, realistically. Body odor? what have they been touching all day? When was thier last shower? Did they put on any kind of artificial scent?
Dust and dirt, probably. Maybe a bit of leather and metal, from her gear and clothes. Also that specific way skin smells when you've been outside in the sun for a long time

was looking through some older posts and came across this one: https://platinummice.tumblr.com/post/650169279559385088/the-dog-would-also-be-there-yes
with Arch getting together with Mason now, does this mean Mason will be another horrible son by proxy?
It just makes me laugh so hard imagining him starting out looking at the occasional hangouts with the Gang as a source of juicy gossip about Hector and Darryl, but as Darryl's mothering increases and Mason grows more accepting of it he suddenly feels really weird about it and does NOT want to know, let alone talk about it
gossip hour with mags is canceled
I'm fucking crying
I feel like Darryl wouldn't end up going full Mom on Mason tbh. There's just something about the two of them, I can't quite see her "adopting" him like the others. Just ends up seeing him as "this younger guy that I know" or more likely, "my son's boyfriend". She’d have known him - or at least known about him - prior to him getting with Arch, so her side of things would be like her finding out that one of those shithead gang members/troublemakers started dating her darling son
But at the same time, it's quite possible that instead they end up developing a sort of mother-in-law/son-in-law type situation, whereas on Mason's side of things, it's like "yeah she's not my mom, but she is my boyfriend's mom". A mom by proxy, as you said, just a different kind
