#floraxcarrow

It had been a while since Irene had entertained inside of her home. She was used to attending benefits outside of her home, but it had been a while since she’d played host. After the failure of the last mission, Irene had decided to dedicate herself (once again) to the cause. She wanted to be more personal with the members of the group that she was helping to lead. If she knew whom the weak links were, she’d be able to weed them out easier. Wade Avery, of course, was weak, but there wasn’t much she could do about it. She wasn’t sure about Flora, as she hadn’t made a decision yet, but that was why she’d invited the girl over for wine. 

The blonde poured two glasses and sat in the sitting room as she waited for Flora. When the girl entered, she smiled and held one of the glasses out to her. “Flora. It’s so lovely to see you,” Irene greeted her with a smile. Warmer than what she usually wore within the meetings. “Are you alright?” 

The Star: If your muse had one wish, what would it be?

The Sun: What was the happiest moment of your muse’s life?

The Devil: What was the worst relationship your muse has ever had?

12. How are they bodily expressive? How do they use nonverbal cues such as their posture, stance, eyes, eyebrows, mouths, and hands?

Megan is usually quite nervous or anxious around other people, and so she can sometimes be fidgety. She’ll bite on her lips or pick at her nails or even just wring her hands, depending on the situation. Eye contact is difficult for her. When she’s by herself, though, or reading a book, she’s much more relaxed. Megan is the type who will sit sideways in a chair with her legs slung over one of the arms while she’s reading, and she’ll often reflect the content with her facial expressions.

26. How do they view and feel about relationships, and how might this manifest in how they handle them, if it does?

The prospect of a romantic relationship terrifies Megan for a number of reasons. First of all, talking to anyone makes her nervous, but a boy that she finds attractive just magnifies that issue. Second, she’s not really close enough with anyone who she would consider getting into a relationship with, and meeting new people is difficult for her. And third, she has no idea how to even be in a romantic relationship at all, apart from what she’s read in books. Megan is fairly sure she’d be a disaster. That said, of course she wants to be romantically involved with a boy, someday. She’s just not sure it’ll ever happen.

38. Is there anything they wish they could change about their worldview or thought processes? What, and why?

1. How do they move and carry themselves? Pace, rhythm, gestures, energy?

Russ holds himself with confidence, so he walks with his head high and a grin on his face, for the most part. The only difference is when he’s hungover (he’ll shuffle and slump) or when he’s drunk (he’ll stumble).

19. How do they behave within a group? What role(s) do they take? Does this differ if they know and trust the group, versus finding themselves in a group of strangers? Why?

Russ is the person in the group who wants to make sure everyone feels included. He’ll go out of his way to talk to the shy person or the person who feels left out. He’s also the flirtatious one, and that’s with guys and girls, but it’s harmless flirting and if it offends someone, he’ll certainly stop. His behavior doesn’t differ from friends to strangers, although he has some deep trust issues with just about everyone.

33. How do they learn about the world–what is their preferred learning style? Hands-on learning with trial and error? Research, reading, and note-taking? Observation or rote memorization? Inductive or deductive reasoning? Seeking patterns and organization? Taking things apart and putting them back together? Creative processing via discussing, writing about, or dramatizing things?
