joe:

The Silent straight up poisons Pael unprovoked, and openly steals from Tanx. She is the only one to have actually attacked any of the Ancients, making her the most ready to fight anyone at any time of our playable characters.

Necrobinder gets a close second on willingness to throw hands, though she doesn't ever attack an Ancient directly, she does murder Nonupeipe's guards, seemingly just for fun.

Ironclad only ever speaks to Vakuu and the Architect, his text prompt for Vakuu is "Awaken" and he seems fairly coherent, implying he's just out of it most of the time. Which I guess is better than the alternative.

When he speaks to the Architect, his text prompt is "Threaten" and he's barely aware of what's going on.

Vakuu's interactions are very interesting overall, he's generally trying to swindle whoever he interacts with, saying what he can to get on their good sides.

The only notable exceptions is the Silent. The Silent is actually very strange, when they first interact, he calls her "Killer." and he then warns "This won't end well for you." She's the only character he interacts with like this. Not sure what they have going on.

Nonupeipe and the Silent have ship potential tailored directly at me specifically.

The Silent is the only character we have confirmation managed to fully leave the Spire, obtain freedom and live on after doing what Neow asked, and then came back in to try to and prove herself good enough.

The Ancients seem to all be huge gossips because everyone seems to know everyone else's drama.

The Necrobinder's interactions with the Architect imply she's got a prepared speech for him, and he cuts her off on every single repeat, it's really funny ngl.

Of all of the characters, the Silent appears to be the only one to actually get a response out of the Architect. Regent seems to prompt mild annoyance, but the Silent is the only one to actually get him to anger. My dude calls her an "Annoying wretch" and is yelling at her. She also seems to be the only one he doesn't know anything about.

The above is extra funny given how half the ancients openly talk to the Silent about her sisters and are aware of her trophy hunting. This implies that Architect is not included in the family group chat where they all gossip.

Defect can somehow speak "<3" outloud, love that for it.

How much the characters remember on each trip is very unclear, and it may even vary per character. They do appear to be aware of at least some things, but other things they appear to forget. Darv implies the forgetting is Neow's doing, but Neow claims to be unable to make the characters forget. She might be lying. Or it might be situational, as the one she denies being able to make forget is the Defect.

Regent, surprisingly, is the most polite character. He wins this by being one of only two characters that can talk, and Necrobinder being blunt as hell.

I'm screaming

but the trend of your significant other faking you out with a kiss to grab/eat your food, only for you to open their mouth, steal it back, and eat it? I feel like Johnny would like that way too much. like, you’re comfortable enough to just eat something that he put in his mouth? grabbed it out no less like he’s a dog that got into something he wasn’t supposed to have?

I’m just saying (also, the mental image is funny to me)

oh mach- don't put your brain worms into my brain!!!!

he definitely saw that and knew he just had to try it!! he just had to see your reaction, to see you look shocked and pout while he chows down half your cereal bar but nonononono. no. he pulls that shit on you and grins mischievously, looking back at your shocked expression and wiggling his eyebrows at you - but before he can even start chewing you're already going at him, one hand on his strong jaw, prying it open, while the other hand is forcing itself into his mouth. he's in absolutely shock, trying to fight back whilee not biting your fingers off. he's so caught off guard when your fingers push past his teeth and grab the food, stuffing it in your mouth as you keep laughing, without a second thought.

but god, he's having second thoughts about it. something about marrying you on the spot, something about you just prying his jaw open like he's seen you do with your dogs, and you just.. eating it. straight from his mouth. he's not sure he ever wanted to kiss anyone this much.

inspired by THIS, and I need a fic abt bob wearing a crop top and john LOSING IT
