red-ringed irises trace up the sorceress's figure, lingering on blackened hands that practically radiate a chill even from a distance, as the hellhound uses her infernal abilities to sniff, making no attempt to hide that she's doing so. it is a wicked scent, consisting of blood and honey and the unique eldritch mix of the souls that are bound to her, each of them a cocktail of their owners' very being and the distinct smell that all souls have, that she has trained herself to be able to filter out.

it is not hard for tisiphone to hone in on zahrosa's soul-- it is a curling madness that consumes all that dares enter its orbit and it reeks worse than the mire that the other has purposefully attached to herself.

the question gives her pause and she tilts her head, the red fading back into the regular deep blackness that sparkles in the light. she hums her acknowledgement and lifts a hand to look at long acrylic nails, feigning nonchalance.

🪙 : what do they value more, loyalty or truth?

if you asked her, she'd tell you loyalty, but the real answer is truth. even if it would infuriate her at first, she'd appreciate it in the long run, because she knows that telling her the truth is actually the highest form of loyalty.

🚪 : who would they abandon if forced to choose?

literally anyone except her twin. she doesn't like to admit it, but she can almost flip a switch and force herself to stop caring for anyone, even someone she says is the love of her life. depending the situation, she would be able to leave cj for a very long time if she had to, she would just suffer a lot more.

🏃 : do they move their body to feel alive or to punish it?

i hate to keep saying "it depends" but it depends! she feels most alive when she's in a throng of people, sweaty and dancing to a beat that's rattling her heart in her ribs, but she also struggles with her body image and has exercised to the point of collapse in the past. she has a real love/hate relationship with her body.

🛏️ : how do they sleep when things are bad?

not well. even when things are good, she often keeps herself up until she's exhausted and literally can't stay up, and it's just worse when things are going bad. at least when she's exhausted, she knows she'll fall asleep quickly. usually...

🧠 : what do they assume people think about them?

jp is somehow extremely full of herself and insecure at the same time, so she's constantly oscillating between thinking people see her as a literal goddess and a grotesque monster. at this point, though, she knows people think she's a cunt, and that's on purpose.

🕰️ : what time do they naturally wake up when no one needs them?

📺 : what do they put on when they don't want to think?

luke has probably seen every episode of How It's Made a hundred times by now, and that's part of the appeal. he likes anything with one narrator, it's like a lazy river for his brain to drift along to the rhythm. he's "read" a lot of audio books because of this.

🎭 : how different are they with strangers versus people they trust?

extremely different! he's absolutely terrified that a stranger will see him for the weirdo he actually is and treat him really badly, so he puts on his best human impression, and as he finally starts trusting people, he lets the mask slip bit by bit.

🌊 : what emotion do they drown in when they're alone?

doubt. he doubts he's a good person, he doubts that anyone likes him, he doubts that he deserves... literally anything. it eats at him.

🏠 : what part of their living space reflects them the most?

definitely his bedroom! there's a ton of decoration, neon/LEDs, furniture for all his foster cats, and it's where he streams from. it's pretty dark and messy, but if he opens his curtains and actually picks things up, it's surprisingly bright and cheerful. also covered in cat hair.

🌱 : do they keep plants, and are those plants alive?

noooooooo. luke can barely keep himself alive, he absolutely cannot keep plants alive. the reason he's so good with cats is because they can tell him when they need food and water lol

🪶 : are they gentle with people they desire?

☕ : what's their morning ritual, and what happens when it's disrupted?

casper rarely wakes up in the morning, which isn't actually the point of this question, but i wanted to mention it. he doesn't really have a routine, other than playing around on his phone for... as long as possible, before he forces himself up to find something to eat. very living human of him lol

🎉 : do they enjoy social events, or endure them?

depends on the event. anything serious or formal makes him feel out of place and itchy and he wants to leave as soon as possible, so it's something to endure. but he loves a casual hang or a big house party, especially with strangers, because he can be himself, which is usually weird and off-putting, and he can eat as much as he wants without people noticing.

🧱 : what walls are they aware of building? which ones are they not aware of?

he's aware that he doesn't let people get close to him very easily because he doesn't want to get hurt and that he often lashes out first. he is entirely unaware of the fact that his jealousy is just this same insecurity in a different form. he doesn't want his friends and partners to get close to other people because they'll eventually leave him.

🛏️ : how do they sleep when things are bad?

perfectly fine lol, he developed that skill when he was still alive and needed to get any amount of sleep when his dad was absolutely losing his mind while blacked out

🛑 : what's an immediate turn-off for them?
