Eloise in detail

6: Eating habits and sample daily menu

Eloise is a picky and finicky eater. Not only that, but she also pecks at her food and rarely eats heartily or a lot at one time. Her thin frame can be attributed to this. She usually eats a piece of fruit a day for either breakfast or lunch, sometimes both if she can, and dinner consists of sandwiches, soups or stews, or maybe some type of nuts. Unless she visits friends or families for dinners, she doesn’t eat much nor has a wide range of what she makes herself though she is a good cook. (Applicable to all verses.)

10: Neuroses? Do they recognize them as such?

She has a hand washing problem. Sometimes she can spend ten minutes scrubbing her hands with soap and a brush until she feels the day’s dirt and grime has been washed away, causing them to sometimes bed red or irritated due to scrubbing away the first layer of epidermis. This started during the war (WWI/WWII/Civil War verses,) when her hands would become caked in blood and dirt and they’d go unwashed for days. When she’d eventually find the time to clean them off, she’d have to spend a good portion of time digging and picking at her nails and furiously scrubbing her skin to get them clean.

In the more modern verses, this is still applicable, however she cleans them due to habit of having to clean after touching most anything at the hospital.

19: What do they think about before falling asleep at night?

Eloise suffers from terrible nightmares caused by combat exhaustion. Having witnessed and gone through traumatic events when caring for wounded soldiers (WWI/WWII/Civil War) and hearing their cries for help and screams of agony, it affected her deeply to the point where most times at night she’d lie down and see images of men who were dying, who were screaming in pain, or even dead bodies of soldiers lying around outside of war torn areas. Very rarely does she think of pleasant things before closing her eyes, unless she is with someone who she can focus on or if she is drunk and passes out.

In modern verses, she suffers from nightmares due to stress with her job and even some gruesome things she has seen in the emergency room.

25: How do they see themselves 5 years from today?

Varies from day to day. Sometimes she doesn’t think she’ll be around in another five years, sometimes she thinks she’ll still be working as a nurse and dealing with her dysfunctional family.

37: Are they more analytical or more emotional in their decision-making?

Eloise’s bedtime habits

ღ = Are they comfortable sleeping in a bed that isn’t their own? (e.g. at hotels, other people’s homes, etc.)

Eloise had to get comfortable sleeping in many places that were not her own during the war (Canon/Prohibition verse) that sometimes didn’t even have a bed. However, once home, she never could get – or feel – truly comfortable due to many things such as nightmares, night terrors, and being alone at home at night. 

Those close with her have experienced a sleeping buddy in Eloise, she likes sleeping with other people (platonically) for the sheer fact that she isn’t alone and feels less vulnerable. These people serve to keep her calm, keep her company, and to enable her to sleep and have dreams that are somewhat pleasant. She feels protected by having a sleeping partner, like one would use a teddy bear or blankie to bring comfort or solace, and is more comfortable at someone else’s home and their bed more than her own.

It had been just an act, indeed; that of the Dreamland Ballroom Host. It would have been farfrom Galway Morgan to flirt, let alone do so so gracefully; but it was, in a sense, part of his duties; to make the patrons feel welcomed, loved and at ease — female patrons in particular. It may have sounded a bit off, but in truth, men did not take as kindly to the pet names he usedreligiously (darling, sweetheart, honey, lover, pet) and, perhaps more importantly; when the ladies felt happy and comfortable, well, so did the men.

Some may have interpreted it as more than it meant, though, on occasion. As flirtatious as he was, smug smirk on his face as he murmured sweet nothings in patrons’ ears; it was, and always had been, nothing more than that. Innocent flirting. While, in earnest, his bed had never remained empty for too long, the occasional vapid young flapper finding her way there on some occasions; the Host had not quite intended for that to happen (or, well, not initially. As the night grew older and entire bottles of gin coursed through his veins, boundaries between harmless lies and reality grew thinner).

”Well, you can’t blame a bloke for trying.” A slight scoff escaped his lips, something between a huff and a chuckle, parted in a wide grin, as he turned his gaze to the floor with a minor shrug. He had taken the opportunity of removing his gaze from her in order to fish a golden cigarette case out of the lapel of his jacket, followed by a matching lighter.

He retracted two cigarettes, placing one between his curled lips before he held the other out for the young lady to take.

”After all, beautiful thing such as yourself – I could not allow for the night to pass by without at least attempting to introduce myself.”

“Oh I ought to now should I? The pleasure is mine Galaway.” The demon smirked, her legs crossing as the crystal beads slid over her dark nylons. She took his hand and gave it a slight squeeze.
