Rosie, keeping an ear out for any heavy footsteps on their way up the steps, was only slightly surprised when Ren slipped her door open all sneaky like.  She was just about finished with what she’d been making for his gift (a lovely illustration of his favorite waifu, dressed in soft pinks and frills) and quickly signed the piece with a heart as Ren offered her the treat.

Rosie

Adultery: A bit of a stretch on this one, cause I'm referring specifically to her sleeping with Damien (who's got Veni at the time), though there's a very good chance the relationship between the boys is an open one.

Jealousy: A pretty universal emotion~

Lust: An absolute slave to her vagina.  

Manipulative: Particularly with Strade after she gets a good grasp on his bullshit.

Strade

Aggression / Brutality / Callousness / Cruelty / Heartlessness / Malice / Mercilessness / Murderous / Pitilessness / Ruthlessness:  He’s the absolute worst!  Zero empathy motherfucker right here.

Alcoholism: While not any sort of life ruining obsession, he does reach for a beer more than any other beverage.  It certainly wouldn’t hurt to cut back!

Conceit / Hubris: Homeboy thought he was fucking untouchable lmao.  Ye boy you strong and experienced but maybe learn how to double check if your ropes are gunna hold through the night.

Decadence / Hedonism / Impetuosity / Obduracy / Self-indulgence: He’s the poster boy for this shit omg.  He lives his life doing what makes him happiest.  HE THINKS WITH HIS HEART AND HE ACTS WITH HIS DICK.

Deceitfulness / Dishonesty / Falseness / Manipulative: He’s the lying-est fucking liar in the game.  Until you get into the basement.  Then ooooh, there’s waaay tooo much honesty.

Erratic / Hastiness / Impatience / Intemperance / Rashness / Recklessness / Short-Sightedness / Thoughtlessness: THE OTHER THING THAT KILLED HIM.  HEY ASSHOLE, YOU WANNA TEND TO THAT BLEEDING NECK WOUND BEFORE YOU KILL ME??  He has zero impulse control.  An actual five year old.

Lewdness / Licentiousness / Lust / Perversion / Promiscuity: Vincent’s biggest competition when it comes to ‘Horniest Guy in BTD’.  Unfortunately his form of foreplay involves your blood, tears and despair.  (Smelly German Junko Enoshima)

Voracity:   HE’S GOT SUCH ENERGY?  WHERE DOES HE KEEP IT ALL?  

Vincent

Aggression/Anger/ Brutality/ Cruelty/ Murderous: Vince is naturally more aggressive and violent than most, but in the days approaching and during the full moon he ranges from pretty unbearable to downright homicidal.

Alcoholism/Hedonism: He definitely drinks, definitely does drugs with Lawrence, Farz (and the occasional Sid), not a huge smoker but he does feel the need for a smoke now and again.  He’s a big damn boy with a kickass metabolism so he needs quite a few drinks before you can see a difference in behavior.

Lewdness/Lust/ Promiscuity: Holy hot damn does this man like sex.  His libido is p r e t t y intense.  

1. What is one word to shut them up?

There aren’t any singlular words that hold power over him.  It would be the person/situation that would make the difference.

9. What is their greatest physical weakness?

He’s susceptible to ass kickings from big burly people that can defend themselves, demon kings, or plain ol’ incredibly pissed off ex-girlfriends with space guns.

16. Is there anyone who makes them feel inferior?

Eeeeeeh....Listen he’s pretty happy with himself.  The way I’m reading the question is in a very ‘I am less than this person’ type of way, and he doesn’t feel like that with anyone.  Even when being overpowered there’s still the thought that he can eventually regain some sort of control if he plays along long enough.

22. Do they have any mental illnesses?

For Rosie, definitely not with like, one exception.  

If she stays with Strade for too long (like two or more years), his influence will really start to get to her head in different ways.  Apart from being infatuated with Strade she’ll start disassociating and losing her ability to consistently connect with the victims in the chop shop.  And, assuming he doesn’t stop her she might even aggressively snap on the person tied to the pole.

It was early on a Wednesday morning.  Nothing particularly special about the weather or on the news.  The young woman that had been brought into the house on Sunday night was was asleep in the basement.  Strade seemed excited as he bustled about the house.  That in itself wasn't anything too out of the ordinary.  His default state was to be high on life, after all.  Sometime after breakfast, it seemed that he simply couldn't wait any longer and made his way downstairs; something silver and shiny held securely in his grip.  He leaned back against his workbench and let his gaze fall to the woman on the floor.  The feelings running through him were giving him goosebumps.  When was the last time he'd been so excited for the future?  Not taking his eyes off of her, he wondered for a moment about Ren, and how he might react to what was coming next.  When she began to stir he perked up, downright beaming at her when she realized he was watching her.

“Mornin’ Rosie.  You’re still in pretty good shape.”

One shower, a fresh application of alcohol, bandages, and a new (kinda) shirt later, Rosemary found herself being shackled to the wall.  The chain was long enough that she could somewhat easily move about the messy little guestroom.  She could reach the bathroom too, though the chain was going to stop her from closing the door completely.  Ugh...  You know, actually, the more she looked around, the less it seemed like a proper guestroom.  There was only a couch to sleep on.  Maybe this was more of a man cave?  

"!"  Rosie was snapped out of her thoughts when she felt Strade's large hands holding her face.  He wanted her to look at him, and she obliged immediately.  He was only three inches taller than her but God did he make her feel so small...

"So.  Are you finally hungry?"  Actually, yeah.  Since he’d kidnapped her Rosie had stubbornly refused any of the food he’d offered her.  Now that her stay in this hell house seemed a bit more...Permanent...It didn’t seem so wise to deny his um...Hospitality.

“Y-Yes please.”  As if to agree, her stomach took the opportunity to growl loudly.  Embarrassed, she wrapped her arms around her stomach and avoided looking at his face as he laughed at her.  Moving away, he moved over to the open door and called up the stairs.  

"Ren!"  'Ren'.  That was the name of the boy that had helped her last night.  She hadn't thought she was ever going to see him again.  A little woozy on her feet, she held onto Strade's arm to avoid falling over.  He looked back down at her and gave her a curious look.
