i'm gonna use my oc Alex Valdez for this (he's from my wip pulse point)

Are you named after anyone? 

I don't think I am. My mother chose my name, Alexander Alejandro. Both mean "protector." Valdez is my father's family name.

When was the last time you cried? 

[if this is at the start of the pulse point storyline] Oh, this is gonna be embarrassing. Last week, I was on a joint mission with Spades, and one of those sh[beep]y laser-bullets grazed my cheek. I was fine, but she insisted on putting antiseptic on it, and it hurt like a b[beep]ch. I feel like it's fair that I teared up, though. Like, it happens to everyone, right?

Wait, am I not supposed to cuss in this? Whoops.

Do you have kids? 

Hah- I hope not. Not that I'm aware of. Someday, maybe, but... no.

Do you use sarcasm a lot? 

Me? Use sarcasm? Never.

What's the first thing you notice about people? 

Weapons. Any obvious ones, and then any potentially concealed ones. Whether or not they have a blackbox, or any other visible bodymods or allegiance marks/tattoos. I think that would be the same answer for anyone in my industry, though.

What's your eye color? 

Green, like my mother's. Once, when Spades was drunk, she said they were peridot. It's some kind of crystal, I think? I can't really ask her though, I'm sure she doesn't remember.

Scary movies or happy endings? 

Happy endings all the way. Call me a sap for it, but I love a good romance. Besides, I deal with sh- stuff, that can be a lot scarier than the movies. Horror doesn't really do it for me.

Any special talents? 

Don't know if this counts as a talent, but I love riddles. Have a bunch memorized that I can bust out during long-haul missions or stakeouts, or use as lines at bars. They're versatile. I'm quite good at solving them, too.

Where were you born? 

Zingali, in my mother's "tribe." Well, non-Zingalrans call them tribes. We don't really have a name for them. Ancestry-group? Clan? Regardless, I was born on-world with her side of the family.

Do you have any pets? 

No, I wish. I've always loved animals. Back h- er, on Zingali, my family always had animals around.

What sort of sports do you play? 

Not any recently. I know some people in the House have various casual leagues organized for off-days, and I'll play with them when I'm trying to, like, network, but I prefer sparring when I can.

How tall are you? 

Oh, the ladies ask me that all the time.

No? not even a smile? Ok. Well, I'm almost as tall as Xavier, so that should count for something.

What was your favorite subject in school? 

Oh, I hated every second I was stuck in classes. Can I say Phys Ed? Besides that, maybe History, but, like, Military History specifically. Stuff I can use. Strategy.

What is your dream job?

I'm living it, baby!

Ha, no. Sorry, I had to. Probably something... simple. Peaceful. I'm a decent cook, so I've been told, but I feel like that could get boring. Some kind of trade business, probably. Domestic, not intergalactic. "Locally sourced," or whatever.

That all? Great, thanks for having me. I'll just- yeah. Bye!

She sighed, tipping her head back against the headboard.  In his sleep, he reached for her, curling fingers around her wrist.  He dreamed of free blue skies.

but law's a surgeon and law's quite simple, and frankly speaking, it's quite simply a fact that law likes to hold strawhat's wrist. 

grasp it in a claw-like hold (no not desperate, never that) and place his thumb over—

law likes to hold strawhat's wrist. just to make sure. just to be certain.
