Would any of them like broadway musicals? Which is their favorite?

Do your Catians, Lukoroh and V'eiss like music? What kind?

Brain round!!! :D 🍹 🍸

So a round from my brain cause I love music, are there any songs that instantly remind you of your OCs?

Yes!!!!! I've wanted to do one of those "one song per oc" type deals but I don't have one for everyone yet (and it doesn't feel right to do one without everyone named), so this is the perfect excuse to share what I do have! XD

Ceicive: Broken Machine (Nothing but thieves) and Love Like You (from Steven Universe)

Ceicive and Wilvous together: Fallin' For You (Colbie Caillat) early on, and Still The One (Orleans) later down the line <3

Toka: Pay Me My Money Down (Bruce Springsteen)

Captain Vasilios gets two: World (5 for Fighting) and A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall (Bob Dylan) (feels kinda weird to give her that given as she's very much neither, but I really like the poetic aspects of the lyrics)

D'Hrava and T'Pril together: Isn’t It Love? (from the Steven Universe movie), We are in Love (Shannon Hurley), and The Warrior (Patty Smyth)

Kirev and the Denobulan Bartender lady get Brandy (Looking Glass) because that was kind of their inspiration a little bit tbh XD (theirs is definitely healthier given communication and species cultures, but still worth a mention XD)

Aerelai gives me such strong Sam Smith song vibes in general, I think most especially I'm Not Here to Make Friends and Diamonds, and I'd also have to say Escapism (Raye)

R'aahs gets two: Run Boy, Run (Woodkid) and Runaway (AURORA)

Bloodline by Jellyroll fits for R'aahs and Wilvous both honestly

Vorta OC: My Back Pages

and for V'eiss and the Bad Luck Vulcan: Silly Love Songs (Paul McCartney) You Are the Best Thing (Ray LaMontagne)

Would any of them like broadway musicals? Which is their favorite?

Omg Aerelai would absolutely love musicals (and sometimes make it everyone's problem that they do). I could see them really liking the energy and outfits of Chicago! I've got to think doctor D'Hrava would like some too, maybe Les Misérables for its discussions of honor, bravery, tragedy, and rebellion.

Wilvous likes the stage production and how the music can convey narrative, but I don't know that he'd have one true favorite. He'd probably like debating the meaning of certain musical scores and costume/set choices and their impact on the piece as well.

The Bad Luck Vulcan finds Little Shop of Horrors more fascinating than he'd maybe care to admit outright.

Lukoroh would like them too for reasons I'll talk about in just a minute.

Do your Catians, Lukoroh and V'eiss like music? What kind?

Yes I think they do! It's time for SPECULATIVE WORLDBUILDING! (aka shit I just made up!)

The Calico Pilot maybe has a soft spot for call and response type songs because it's something he would do with her siblings growing up when they were out walking or when they were doing chores/helping in the shop.

The Lion Therapist would like deeper Didgeridoo type instrument

Lukoroh: Ok so I think he'd like stuff like musicals, ballads, operas, anything that tells a story! He'd have to relisten sooooo many times just to get a little of the narrative, but I don't think that bothers him, it's sort of how he feels about art!

Catian pilot

Do they have any collections?

Arachnid Xenoanthropologist

What's their favorite comfort food that they eat when they're sad?

BLV

What's a secret passion of theirs?

Lukoroh

Do they have a best friend? If so who is it?

Another round!!! :D (loool valid and mood tbh XD I think the catian pilot one is a repeat since I've talked about their sensory toys, so I'll pick out someone to fill her slot, but I'm going to put it at the end to give me time to pick XD)

Arachnid Xenoanthropologist: What's their favorite comfort food that they eat when they're sad?:

She likes a kind of worm that's sort of like a bone collector caterpillar (though these actually just have small protrusions to serve as camouflage mimicry rather than collecting spider leavings) fried up in oils secreted by another kind of bug and served crispy!

BLV: What's a secret passion of theirs?

So not fully secret as keeping secrets fully would be illogical in his opinion, but he is kind of passionate about making lectures about the different plants he encounters on other planets or has responsibility of in the hydroponics bay. He's amassed a very large amount of them and would like to submit them to Starfleet to become lessons or at least upload them to an educational database of some kind.

He insists he's going to upload them once he's "refined the format" though he's been working on it for years at this point. Maybe someday someone can give him enough of a push to go through with it, but it hasn't happened yet </3

Lukoroh: Do they have a best friend? If so who is it?:

Thus far at least I think I'd have to say the Arachnid Xenoanthropologist! I think she'd be the one on the xenoanthropology team who he works with the most and the most closely, and she has a good mix of patience, cheerfulness, and kinda chill neutrality that lets her mesh well with him, and he thinks of her as brilliant, skillful, and kind!

They're kind of a strength and brains team combo, though Lukoroh absolutely has his share of insights and discoveries to contribute, and the XA has pretty strong venom she just chooses not to use most of the time.

Substitute round! V'eiss: Do they have any collections?:

Lukoroh

❄️ frappuccino – how do they act when they’re trying to impress someone?

Ch'ayna

🍯 honey citrus mint tea – how do they take care of themselves (or others) when sick?

R'aahs

🔥 spicy lemonade – what makes them snap or lose their temper?

Coffee time!!! :D

Lukoroh❄️ frappuccino – how do they act when they’re trying to impress someone?:

Honestly he really doesn't try to impress people that much in general, he really prefers to just let people be surprised if they're going to underestimate him, but he will mess with them if they're being an asshole to him and let them walk themself into a corner in how they behave before turning it around on them XD

Ch'ayna🍯 honey citrus mint tea – how do they take care of themselves (or others) when sick?: So when she's sick she has to stay pretty carefully quarantined because her biology reacts to illness by making a super sticky kinda poisonous goop that gets everything stuck to everything XD

She gets really lethargic (her species really is pretty weak physically, just fast, smart, and poisonous) and just tries to sleep as much as possible.

When it comes to other people she's not really much of a doctor honestly, but she'll try to encourage people to rest, and if she's really worried about them she'll make little woven silk patches of healing symbols from her culture (there are different kinds for different maladies, and honestly the process is a little interpretive anyways, but they're meant to sort of "absorb" whatever the problem is into themselves and then be burnt to dispel them). They can be sewn onto a blanket or overhead garland, or in the case of a more extreme or long illness each of the illnesses connected in sort of a granny squares type layout.

I'm not sure how much she would believe it versus just kind of doing it out of tradition and concern, but she's definitely done it before <3

R'aahs 🔥 spicy lemonade – what makes them snap or lose their temper?:

Alright so that's honestly a bit of a difficult question because there's a lot of things that can make him sort of snap to a degree that would be pretty high caliber by human standards, but within Nausicaan standards that reaction would be a completely normal mild to moderate annoyance response given cultural factors and tissue regeneration, but for what would actually get to him:

Calling him weak (like he can handle when someone just is stronger than him, losing in a struggle is a part of life, but not being seen as worth the effort of challenge is an insult given as he's not a young child, and will balk at attempts to treat him like one)

Someone hurting or trying to hurt the people that he cares about, but especially if it's someone lower than him on his hierarchy that he's protective over. That's basically the most effective way to bait him into an outright attack (which can be effective tactically, but comes with the risk of a Nausicaan who now wants you very dead)

After he finds out the truth about his siblings, mentioning them at all will make him furious to the point of (sometimes tearful) shutdown. Most of the time he'll try and just circumvent it by claiming not to have siblings, or claim that they died and refuse to talk about it further, but even that always clearly rattles him.

Lukoroh

Do they have any collections?

Lion therapist

What's their favorite comfort food that they eat when they're sad?

And back to our asking roots with Ceicive and Wilvous cause I love them.

What's something they do absentmindedly that their partner (if they have one) finds adorable

Yay!!! 💕🥂

Lukoroh: Do they have any collections?:

Yes! Little souvenirs from the various museums he's visited over the course of his work! Some have to do with exhibits he's helped to contribute to, some are based off of completely unrelated exhibits, and some are really just little toys with no connection to much of anything they were just in the gift shop XD

Lion therapist: What's their favorite comfort food that they eat when they're sad?

Oh I actually love this one!!! :D <3

He likes these little popsicle treats that are made from frozen blood (kind of like what lions in zoos are given as enrichment and to cool off in the summer! <3)

The one's he likes are 1. usually replicated, 2. much smaller, and 3. either actual popsicles or little cubes.

And back to our asking roots with Ceicive and Wilvous cause I love them.: What's something they do absentmindedly that their partner (if they have one) finds adorable:

Aghhhh my two first little sweethearts!! <3 <3 🦎 🐗

Ceicive:

So a lot of what he does is at least moderately intentional, but he does have a few unconscious behaviors!

When they're close to each other (lying down or sitting closely) Ceicive will coil up closer to Wilvous to bask in the heat he puts off

The way he perch-style sits on desks or couch arms and the like

and the way that, instead of laughing outright, he'll sort of double over shaking and twitching, sometimes covering his mouth reflexively like sound's going to come out. It freaked Wilvous out the first time he saw him do it, but once he realized what a genuine reaction of mirth it is he loves it <3

Wilvous

He makes little snort-grunts when he's deeply focused on a project in engineering or painting

The fact that he'll absentmindedly put anything into his pockets. They have to keep a little basket next to their fabric recycler for whatever stray tools/PADDS/art stuff/misc bits fall out when they're turned out

All for your Vorta and Lukoroh hehehe

If they were in a book how would they be described by others/ the narrator?

What's something they will never fail to get excited over?

What's something they unashamedly adore?

Alright new menu!!! :D 🥂

(sorry I took a while it's been a busy week with work XD)

(Long, so it's going under the cut):

Lukoroh

5- Do they feel they deserve love simply for existing or do they believe they have to offer something in return and If so what do they offer

Lion therapist

‎20- If things don't go their way for one reason or another do they generally fight back and try to change the outcome? or settle in and accept it

B/C engineer

26- Are they the type to take as much as they can, as much as they need or less than they need

Another round!!! :D

Lukoroh 5- Do they feel they deserve love simply for existing or do they believe they have to offer something in return and If so what do they offer?:

I think in that he loves some people simply because he's been able to know them he would extend himself the same mindset <3

Lion therapist ‎20- If things don't go their way for one reason or another do they generally fight back and try to change the outcome? or settle in and accept it?:

He's very much an "always keep trying, but be willing to try new angles" kind of guy. Like it would take something major to make him fully give up, but he won't completely keep bashing his head against the wall either.

B/C engineer26- Are they the type to take as much as they can, as much as they need or less than they need?:

Who all would be excited to attend a costume party?

If Spark picked their "Earth history" theme for a costume party what era would everyone dress as?

Playdate time!!! :D

Who all would be excited to attend a costume party?

Aerelai, obviously XD

doctor D'Hrava would enjoy it I think!

Muna and Bhea would probably go, more to be social but still!

R'aahs might would come if Spark invited him, though he would mostly just go to see them and hang out with Muna & Bhea, he wouldn't really know much in regards to Human history

The B/C engineer! They can certainly be shy, but I think they'd have fun once they got into it!

Normally I'd say Ceicive wouldn't go do something like this, but he'd want a chance to see Spark (and I want to put him in a fancy little outfit) so he'd go!

Professor Ch'ayna (that's the Arachnid Xenoanthropologist! 🕷) Costumes and ceremonial garb are a big thing within her culture

And This one seems chill enough that Lukoroh could come! (normally that would not be the case XD)

If Spark picked their "Earth history" theme for a costume party what era would everyone dress as?

It's going to be long, so read-more time XD

Padaka, Lukoroh and B/C engineer

5. Do they like to sing? Are they good at it?

Everyone lol (like who snores? How bad is it?)

23. Do they snore?

Ok I *finally* can grab a minute to type everything out XD

5. Do they like to sing? Are they good at it?:

Padaka:

So I don't think she'd really do it now just in that they're not a child with their siblings doing chores or going for walks and the like together anymore, but he definitely has a big soft spot for call and response type songs. Very very sometimes when she's very absorbed in some personal project a they'll sort of talk to themself in the tone of the song's tempos or quietly sing a few lines of the responder's tone before they catch themself. I wouldn’t say it's beautiful but It's certainly got a charm to it <3

Lukoroh:

I don't think he really does honestly in the way most people would think of it as. He'll maybe kind of vocalize flat sounding not quite hums if he's thinking about or watching musical performances. Pakleds aren't really neurologically built for (structurally) complex verbal communication, so I really don't know what their brains would do in trying to sing!

BCE:

They'll sometimes either play some music through their little hearing aid devices or get songs in their head and be singing along or aloud louder than they realize, though they'll immediately clam up if there's someone nearby to hear them. (Aerelai is one of the only people who can get them to keep going XD <3) I'd say there's a very genuine love of the songs in their voice if not an over abundance of skill.

Everyone lol (like who snores? How bad is it?) 23. Do they snore?:
