For you, I’d be like Orpheus

I’d walk across chasms

And defy death itself

To at least

Get one last glance at you

My Eurydice

Though name not quite Eurydice

Know I will hold you as tight as I can

Until I am forced to let you go

It’s tragic, truly

I will mourn you forever

For you, I’d be like Romeo

Defy family

Defy fate

And choose you

Again, and again, no matter what the stars say

My Juliet

Though name not quite Juliet

Know my passion will persist

Even when they try to stop us from being

It’s their price to pay

I will never release you from my heart

For you, I’d be like Odysseus 

I’d travel far and wide

But hold you always in my heart

And come home, just for the chance to hold you

And never let you go

My Penelope

Though name not quite Penelope

Know I will return against all odds

And that even the gods cannot demand us apart

With you as my lighthouse, I will always come home

Seron: Depends. If they have space, they run. If they feel trapped, they fight. And when they're too weak to fight, and too trapped to run? They freeze and disappear and just take it because no one else will.

Qenan: Freeze, utter panic, might fight and kill a man if he has a knife. Typically using coping techniques to ground himself and also calls his parents to come grab him right now. If all else fails, he dissociates.

Beatrice: Freezes at first, but if she's driven mad enough, it turns to fight and she will, like Qenan, kill a man. Probably would pray a bit too, call for help from a few friends or partners.

Becky: Gets overwhelmed and immediately flees to self regulate in a space where she can be by herself. If not, she'd probably kill someone too, but luckily she always removes herself in time.

Morgan: Gets pissed off and looks to self regulate, but often finds herself unable to, so she just...gets high. And then the rest mellows out from there.

Charlie-Jack: Dissociates, so hard that he forgets everything. He has a memory problem, and this 100% contributes to it. It is unlikely he will even remember what happened later on.

Harper: Fights, 100%. She will be antsy and uncomfortable and look to settle herself by wrestling the truth out of a liar (usually the one stressing her out), with a carefully placed verbal lashings.

Sienna: Attempts to solve the problem to the point that it's unhealthy for her (much like her gf) and will struggle to remain totally calm and collected, especially if Summer's involved. If Summer's being stressed to a point, you're getting fighting Sienna, and it won't be fun.

Summer: Fight. She sets your house on fire, you on fire, kicks your shins and runs over to her big sister to give her a hug. She will also cry first, and if that doesn't work she results to the plan B described above.

Gabriella: Fawn. Usually very very calm but she can end up having a panic attack if provoked and will get desperate, screaming and demanding the problem to be solved, that she will solve and fix this problem. She'll fix it, she has to.

Carmen: Dissociates also. Will initially try and fight, but if the situation is bad enough, they'll just peace out of there and dissociate. Despite how they act, they're just a little kid.

Monty: Probably freezes then fights once he figures his shit out, kind of just throwing shit at the wall to see what'll stick. He's pretty well adjusted so he's got this defending himself thing figured out.

Sunita: Calmly talks her way out of it, with poise and grace and common sense, and maybe a few tears shed in frustration or sadness.

Ailia: Flight. Removes herself as quickly as possible, simply so she doesn't have to deal with more issues than needed, stepping away and taking space until she's regulated.

Seron: They have a serious alcohol problem and will drink pretty much everything in reach if they're feeling miserable enough. They prefer red wine, and have distinct distaste for beer and whiskey because of the people they associate with the drinks. They are, also, a bit of a light weight, which means they get drunk crazy fast.

Qenan: Probably a glass of wine or two, but not enough to get intoxicated to the point of loosing function. He's tasteful about it.

Carmen: They've tried, several times, but being a literal child, have struggled.

Cole: Tried, failed, and is also a child.

Ailia: Enough to get a little tipsy, max.

Monty: He's the only one who can hope to compete with Seron's drunken nature. He'll drink whatever, and he's much less of a light weight than Seron so he can get through way more before crashing out.

Sunita: She strikes me as the type to enjoy a fruity drink or a dirty Shirley on occasion.

Gabriella: Not much of a drinker either.

Sienna: No, not a big drinker.

Becky: Maybe. Maybe a small shot or a glass of wine, but that's it.

Harper: Probably drinks enough to get tipsy but not beyond that. She likes having her common sense and judgement intact.

Summer: She's a kid and has no interest lol.

Beatrice: No, not her thing.

Charlie-Jack: No, he's not a drinker, which is good, because he doesn't need anymore trouble remembering things.

🎈 (balloon) - What does your character do at parties? Are they a wallflower or a party animal? Do they go with friends or alone?

Seron: Pregame CHAMPION. Becky is the only one stopping them and Monty from drinking each other under the table before the party starts. Alcohol is their only friend when it comes to being an extrovert at a party. Alcohol also leads to their poor decisions like making out with their EXs. Generally needs to be reigned in by the end of the night. Consistently flirting with everything that moves.

Qenan: Oh he's such a wallflower. So nice and sweet until a party starts and then he clings to someone all night and barely talks. Is persuaded exactly once by Monty to dance to a song and maybe sing karaoke.

Beatrice: Is legit in the corner reading a book. She was searched before the party and had no book. Where the hell does she keep getting books-

Becky: Oh she's holding everyone's hair while they vomit at the end of the night and brushing their teeth, trust. Not at all a party person unless she's making out with someone before the vomiting starts. Secretly is enjoying the songs until she gets a migraine.

Morgan: Is dancing to purposefully turn Seron or Monty or Becky or Beatrice on. A ridiculous flirt. Did drink a little but only once the party had started. Uses her drink more like a prop.

Charlie-Jack: Forgot the party was tonight.

Harper: Does all the party planning and has the link for the alcohol. Reminds everyone all night to keep their eyes on their drinks. Runs the playlist.

Sienna: Is only there to dance with Gabriella and talks most of the night. Drinks maybe a singular glass of wine.

Summer: Snuck over because Cole convinced her and drinks Shirley Temples all night until her sister finds out she came. Potentially set something on fire we don't know, we're not judging.

Gabriella: Dances with Sienna all night, then leaves early with her and Ailia when they find out Cole and Summer snuck over. Hardly drinks, she doesn't have the taste for it. Enjoys mocktails.

Carmen: Is the only little kid allowed to stay there as long as she promises to give Becky and Seron a cut of the money she swindles out of everyone, and promises not to drink. Ends up passing out at like one am under the kitchen table.

Monty: Is wearing a lampshade on his head. Will be in the bathrooms with Seron in the morning with a hangover. Dances like he's in a tiktok edit.

Sunita: She's there serving cunt in some dress, with her signature scent and signature taste. Sucks on some specific candy all night so that whoever kisses her tastes strawberries ;). Yelled at Monty when he tried to swing on the chandelier to the Sia song.

Ailia: Is by far one of the most normal partygoers, doesn't drink too much, helps get the introverts out of their shells, does the best they can to make the night memorable before they have to leave.

using the blue one cuz i'm different

-🧿

Seron: Their "book" which changes depending on the universe, but is nearly always signed with the people they love mosts names and filled to the brim with notes and drawings, even if its not a notebook. They take it with them everywhere, and it's incredibly precious to them because it was either given to them by their sister or biological father. She also loves to run, even though they have a limited lung function lol. He is also deeply comforted by nature and thunderstorms, often spending whole nights and days outside, regardless of the time of year, finding peace in nature. (Also they are comforted by the idea of anyone loving them which can be really sweet or really fucked up depending who it is)

Qenan: He's a big fan of physical affection but I'd also say pigeons and doves. That's kind of his special interest and I'd say he absolutely finds comfort in the way birds resemble the best parts of humanity. Also his love language is physical touch so he loves being held.

Beatrice: Her bible, definitely. She highlights and underlines key phrases to reread to comfort herself in times of need. She is very religious (ironic, because her partner doesn't really have the same perspective at all).

Becky: I'd say...alone time? Where she has space to self regulate and be not overstimulated, and can just kind of relax and take the weight off her shoulders. Also, Sunita. Her sweetness and love for Becky give her a sense of relaxation because it comes with no strings attached and will never leave.

Morgan: I'd also say alone time, but also time with her partners definitely comforts her. I'd say it depends on the situation, but Monty is probably the most comforting of her partners to be around, since everyone else has...crippling issues. He provides a stability that she doesn't have through her powers (erratic future sight) and her family (bitches), so he gives her a sense of comfort. He's just so...comfortable.

Charlie-Jack: Spending time making things, and specifically making things with Seron, usually those melty crayon things? They really just...they comfort each other a lot. It keeps him grounded in the present, and he gets to be with someone who intimately understands him without having to explain it. Of course his other partners are a comfort, but there's just...a special bond between them because of what he and Seron have emotionally and mentally gone through.

Harper: The truth, probably. You wouldn't think of it as comforting, but it is to Harper. Harper thrives on honesty and truthfulness and can't stand liars or lying. When she knows the whole truth of things, she is a much happier person.

Sienna: Knowing she and her sister will be safe together for a while, and just like...chilling with her girlfriend. She's got simple wants, really. Nothing too grand.

Summer: Fire, because it looks pretty and is fun to make. Also her big sister, because she will love and care about her regardless of her borderline criminal tendencies to arson.

Gabriella: Being around her girlfriend (Sienna) and knowing she has helped someone heal/get better. It disturbs her a lot when she's unable to help someone, so helping someone heal takes a weight off of her shoulders.

Carmen: Taking Monty's money because he lost another bet to them. Why does it comfort them? Because they got money, got to annoy Monty, and got to make Seron laugh hysterically. And because they have security in the fact that at least they'll never lose this. She'll always be validated and loved by these people, no matter how many times she wins.

Monty: Just...being around people who support and love him. He doesn't really need much in terms of comfort because he is honest to god one of the most stable people in this, but it never hurts to feel loved and supported by the people around him. Also, he feels a great deal of comfort from compliments, he loves genuine compliments, they make him feel onto of the world.

Sunita: Her fashion. It's her self expression, it's her everything. She makes beautiful pieces to express herself and finds comfort in the beauty of being herself to the fullest. She's also one of the most stable people in this.

Ailia: Birds. She has a fucking special interest in birds, and it makes her so fucking happy to be studying them or be around them, and the thing that would comfort her most is the idea of being able to fly (or even being able to turn into a bird), which happens, depending on the universe.

Cole: Being with his big sister. He loves to run wild and play but at the end of the day, he just really likes being around Ailia because she's the closest thing he has to their mother, who passed away when they were young (usually).

Beatrice: …But the billionaires.

Seron: Beatrice. My love. You are one of the fucking billionaires!

Qenan: But we didn’t get our money…very unethically.

Seron, deadpan: Murder strikes me as unethical. As does torture.
