Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris). Family Trochilidae, order Apodiformes.

18 Favorite beverage?

Maria loves Dr. Pepper with a passion, which is annoying because it’s something you can’t always get out of a vending machine. When she can’t get it, she’ll settle for Pepsi.

25 How do they see themselves 5 years from today?

Geez, sometimes I forget how young Maria is. Or like. Young compared to me. But then again I’m pretty young too...But yeah, she’s a freshman, so she’d be a sophomore in college then? She wants to go into psychology and become a therapist. So she’d probably go to school for that, hopefully somewhere in New York because that’s her favorite big city. She’s the sort of person who likes to think really ideally of her future self--like assume she’ll have lots of friends, a good school, generally a good situation. Sometimes the way she imagines she will be someday doesn’t take into account real life things.

(That’s assuming she survives the Cycle.) (nah just kidding you know i wouldn’t kill off Maria)

26 Do they have any plans for the future? Any contingency plans if things don’t workout?

Evie is the sort of person who keeps a giant bucket list but has no idea what she wants to do career wise. Even though she’s a junior. She knows that she’s pretty good at writing and that she likes history, but doesn’t have a career in mind. Her parents have kind of steered her towards schools they want her to apply to, but she doesn’t have much of a preference. She thinks she might major in English, but isn’t sure at all. It scares her that she really doesn’t know--her brother knew he wanted to be a doctor from the time he was like 6. But she’s just not like that. 

30 Reaction to sudden intrapersonal disaster (eg close family member suddenly dies)

Evie would stop talking to people. like, totally clam up as a defense mechanism. When Seriously Bad Stuff goes on with someone she’s close to, she gets very numb and legitimately can’t think of anything at all to say. So she’d probably be in a state of shock. Later, when no one’s around, she might get angry and break things, but in front of people she’d go silent.

AAAAA thanks

49. Val has this beat up old stuffed animal she saved from her house before it burned down. (Remember she has a really tragic backstory where her parents died/got written out of the story) it’s a dog, she can’t sleep without it, and its name is Buffy.She also gets very emotional about street musicians.

42. Andy wants to go back to school for a degree in criminal forensics or whatever it’s called so that he can work for the FBI. It’s a total pipe dream but he thinks about it a lot. He also feels indebted to Joanne and her old team for saving him when they found him in the woods, and would probably do anything to save them in return. Of course, he has unknown connections to things beyond even his understanding, and is kind of a paranormal magnet, so we’ll see how that turns out…
