Taken from this OC Ask List by @ricesinspo

[How would your character react if someone] asked them to perform in front of an audience, like right now, without prep?

With enormous gusto and enthusiasm...

Mimble is a natural-born performer and quite enjoys showing off for an audience. Whether it's his dance moves, his magical abilities, or his ability to tell bad jokes and tall stories, he can command a crowd with ease.

Hello! I've never done an ask game before, so I have literally no clue what to do with a reverse ask game! queue nervous shaking. But if it really is as simple as letting my OC/WOLs yap, well I can certainly arrange that.

Random number generator gave me list 9, question 58 from the @diggingforkuponuts's post. So... uh... here goes!

Interviewer: Do you have strong feelings about musical theater?

Midori: taps her knuckles against her chin thoughtfully. As a former Bard and current Dancer, I believe I would enjoy musical theater though I've never had the opportunity to participate in a production of any sort. Mih Kheto's puts on shows when they aren't hosting seasonal events. I've been lucky to catch a show or two while passing through Gridania. The Majestic Theater Company plans to tour again, I believe? Mayhap, I'll see if I can catch one of their performances! Stares wistfully off in the distance. Anyroad, being a Scion means that I can't adhere to a tight rehearsal schedule. Even with teleportation, I can't say when I will be engaged in combat, diplomacy, or crafting and gathering. Mayhap when I retire... Scoffs under her breath before smiling softly. One day, when I am no longer needed, I'll take up musical theater. Nods stoically.

Xeranthea: No. Breathes out a measured exhale. I apologize, t'was a touch blunt, was it not? Pardon me, t'is only that memories long buried surface when I imagine dancing and singing. Hesitates before continuing in quiet reminiscence. My parents were itinerant entertainers before settling into innkeeping when I was nearly a school-age youngling. Masters of their craft, they were as Apollo and Terpsichore. Mayhap, in their own way, they were a musical theater duo. A faint, sad smile tugs at the corner of her lips. Tragically, they perished when Lindblum's army razed my hometown. Regretfully, I haven't occasion nor desire to sing or dance as I once did at my parents' side. Rubs the swell of her belly. Mayhap that will change one day.

Between June 15th through July 6th, I'm asking anyone who wants to participate to take any ask games and reverse them! Just choose from any ask games or ask lists you like, pick a question or several and answer about your own wol/oc(s)!

Very excited about this fun idea, especially since the anxiety bunnies usually stop me from sharing ask lists. ;-; But the questions posed often help me find gaps aplenty in my understanding of my own characters, so I'm looking forward to answering some from the initial collection of lists over the next few weeks.

From @diggingforkuponuts -> OC every-day ask list:

11. Their stance on throw pillows?

Aeryn's stance is very much yes, but they aren't for decorative use. I go on about her sleeping habits more -> here <-, but the gist of it is she tends to "burrow" her way into spaces where she's less likely to be seen. Having lots of pillows, blankets, and cushions allows her to carve a little space out for herself in which to feel cozy and safe. And because she, for a very long while, is more likely to succumb to sleep just about anywhere other than in an actual bed, she'd have several piles of mismatched pillows scattered around her space (or any space she visits with enough frequency that she might often sleep there). The Scions just get used to leaving (or sometimes adding to) the plush things she's unintentionally gathered in dim corners of their various bases of operation.
