3- how do they put themselves to bed at night?

Without MC: he follows a strict routine, brush teeth, get in bed by 11, then he'll dim the lights and put on soft music while he does either a crossword or sudoku puzzle to wind down. He usually listens to asmr videos to help relax because his brain won't shut up without something to focus on lol

With MC: make sure they're safe, give them a little something to "help" them sleep, then cuddle for a bit before he just,,, 👁👁 for the rest of the night. They're very cute and he likes to watch! Good thing he doesn't really need much sleep..

9- do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word?

Grey tends not to really swear unless there's like, something seriously wrong. Maybe in a panic he'll utter one out, or if in extreme pain, but otherwise he tends to avoid it.

His first swear word was when he was a kid and overheard someone else so he just straight up asked "hey dad what does fuck mean? :0"

10- what lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does it haunt them?

The lie he most frequently tells is that he only wants to help people. Every part of his life is structured around "helping", from studying pharmacology and psychology to doing weird little experiments on himself, he will argue with anyone, including himself, that he's doing it to bring more good into the world, when in reality he knows he's fueled by morbid curiosity and hubris.

It absolutely haunts him but fortunately Grey has become very, very good at repressing his reality. :)

22- how does jealousy manifest in them?

Jealousy is no different than pure panic in Grey's brain. He genuinely doesn't even see it as jealousy, just concern for the person he loves. He's constantly playing a game of mental gymnastics finding ways that MC is in danger and he'll grow increasingly possessive of them. They're safest with him and only him, so he'll just place himself in their life more and more.... just to keep them safe of course!! He'll start off completely standoffish, opting to keep his distance and study MC as well as the people around him, and when he thinks he has enough info to be perfect™, he'll suddenly become way too clingy, trying to be by them more and more until he can't live with MC being apart from him.

If all else fails, he's obviously the one MC should be with, so it's not harmful to just,,, get rid of someone in the way of their happiness, right?

e- are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?

I think on a surface level yeah we would probably get along pretty well! We could vibe, do puzzles, talk about psych stuff, listen to music, go thrifting for goth stuff, maybe go searching for bones. It'd be fun!

As for him getting along with me? Well, I think he'd find me a bit too "interesting" to let go, and I'm not all too interested in being restrained and drugged lmaoo (haha unless... 👀)

h- what trait do you admire most?
