1, 2, 5, 19 and 37 for Jr and Horatio. You can add Grimm if you feel spicy enough to
1. What does their bedroom look like?
Jr- Junior's had all the space in the world and a little bit more. They still like to decorate their room with trinkets from adventures, mostly their father's, and they've started to put their own on display. They have some of the smaller sized paintings Flameheart had made of himself and Jr as they were growing up that they recovered from the estate, tucked away.
Overall, Junior is pretty organized, even if they tend to veer more on the maximalist side of decorating their room. They like to fill up the shelves with trinkets and books, and their desk often has at least a couple of stacks of tomes and parchments of projects they're working on.
Horatio- He's never really had much of a space to call his own. When he was young, his space was shared with his younger siblings, and there was only a brief period when he wasn't sailing too much and living with his wife that he had a semblance of a room. After that, his space's been mostly whatever hammock he slept on aboard and a desk where he worked on his blueprints. Because of that, he likes to keep his things organized within a small chest he can carry with one hand. Trinkets from his family, some of the tools that hold more sentimental value and sweets he keeps for later.
Even now as an Ashen Lord with his own quarters, they're more of a workshop than a bedroom. He has a bed he hardly uses, and the most elaborate thing in that room is his work desk.
Grimm- Arguably the least organized of the crew. Lots of things scattered around on the floor, most horizontal surfaces are filled up with either papers or trap projects, and yet somehow Grimm knows exactly where everything is at any given time. He keeps all trinkets he's gotten from Duchess close to his bed, and any little gifts he's gotten from the Lords or even Flameheart also set aside in their own little displays.
2. Do they have any daily rituals?
Jr- They'll check up on Humerus at least once a day, and lately Chi has been included in that little ritual. Most their day is pretty fluid, things change depending on what needs to be done and who needs help with whatever that day, but they like to check up on their mates at least once.
Horatio- Doing the rounds on the fleet. He'll personally check up on the Burning Blade, then the ships of the Lords, then the ships of the Ashen Guardians. He has Elise accompany him as well, and personally note down any repairs that need to be done and the resources needed for it so he can do it all at once- excepting the Burning Blade, which gets repairs right away.
Grimm- Every night he'll wrap it up with a small party at the Lair's tavern. It doesn't matter who's in it at the moment, he's up for drinks, a game and a chat. Some of the more social Reapers have picked up on this habit and join him along, so there's always a small crowd at night at the tavern.
5. Cleanliness habits (personal, workspace, etc.)
Jr- While they like to keep things tidy and organized, Jr tends to get a bit too into work sometimes and they can lose track of time easily. It's easy to tell when they've started a new project or are nearing a breakthrough from how disorganized things can get. Parchments strewn around, a small flock of Reaper Parrots hanging out on the beams of their quarters, and their coat and hat thrown on their bed in favor for just the hood and a more comfortable shirt to work on. Their uptight façade can fall apart easily.
Horatio- Borderline neurotic about the tidiness of his workspace. His tools are pristine, every ship blueprint parchment has a spot and he has a system he doesn't make anyone else privy to. Horatio very much dislikes anyone coming into his workspace being too loud, and Grimm is actually forbidden from entering his workshop while he's busy.
Grimm- While his room can look a mess, it is all very clean. Grimm also goes a long way to make himself look presentable, he takes great care of his wardrobe, brushes his hair daily and keeps his crystal beard well preened.
19. What do they think about before falling asleep at night?
Jr- Until they were cursed, they thought about the adventures their father had told them about when they were little. During the period of being freshly skellie cursed until the Reapers were properly established and Flameheart brought back, the few times they actually slept were uneasy and mostly self doubting if they'd ever live up to the projected expectations they thought Flameheart had of them. Nowadays, they sleep thinking of what the future holds. Projects they want to start and their mates.
Horatio- Absolutely nothing, he'll conk out and have dreamless sleep.
Grimm- He'll be buzzing with ideas for new traps and trinkets to get his fellow Lords, but he really hardly sleeps, maybe a couple nights a month.
37. What recharges them when they’re feeling drained?
Jr- They'll transform into a skellie cat or a bird and very much hide away, mostly perching and napping in Chi's ribcage.
Horatio- Sweets. He'll be fully at one of his stashes, and more often than not either aboard the Burning Blade or by his king's side.
Grimm- He'll go visit his sister and spend some quality time with her. One of the few times he'll actually be quiet as well.
