Bold The Facts Tag Game

Bold the Facts Tag Game

This is an interesting tag game, and hopefully a little quicker or more fun to look through than that monster post of how my characters show up. Thank you to @sunset-a-story for the tag! Go read about their characters, they're great!

I'm going to do some shameless copying here and use their strategy of answering for all their characters with the same list. And even more copying by grouping the characters who went to high school together. (I know. I know copying is lazy. They just have really good ideas, okay?)

So Cal will be orange, Jack will be magenta, and Lena will be green. More than one will be bold and blue in case bold is hard to see. If I had to add something I'll put it in [ ].

Before this monster gets rolling, I'm going to tag @charlesjosephwrites, @anyablackwood, @oh-no-another-idea, @davycoquette, and @revenantlore. I don't know if any of you would want to play, no pressure! I'm trying to remember to expand my tag list.

"Most Likely To" Tag

Bit late to the party, but thanks for the tag, @pandoras-comment-box!!!

The rules are pretty self-explanatory. Answer the prompts with which OCs are most likely to do them!

Most likely to get lost

Probably Claire, at least in the beginning. That girl can't find her way out of a paper bag. Eventually she'll gain a shred of sense. Eventually.

Most likely to adopt a stray

Meg. Honestly, most of my protags would probably at least try. But Meg would be the one that actually knows what the fuck she's doing when she takes an animal in, lmao. It helps that she can speak with them.

Most likely to earn a punch in the face

Pretty much all of my characters say and do stupid shit worth punching them for, lmao. I guess I'll go with most punchable on average, which would have to be Alexander. In a way, I love him, but he really ain't shit.

He's got the kind of oblivious, arrogant audacity that makes his (admittedly conventionally attractive) face suddenly look alluringly punchable. It's like he's begging you to rearrange his features.

Okay, that was fun! Your turn!

Prompts for you:

Most likely to drive on the wrong side of the road

Most likely to accidentally offend someone

Most likely to win the lottery

(Gently) tagging: @mysticstarlightduck, @kaylinalexanderbooks, @nemaliwrites, and anyone else who wants in!

Character Questionnaire Tag!

Thanks for tagging me @alinacapellabooks (here)!

YOUR QUESTIONS:

What is your worst nightmare?

Do you have any favorite bedtime routines?

What's your favorite scent?

Let's go with Rhys Whitewood (Scrapyard Boys), Jasper Astrophell (Supernova Initiative) and Saoirse Richards (Scrapyard Boys)!

1.) What is something you would never eat, even if you were starving?

Rhys: Um... I think something I would rather die than eat would be bodily fluids? Like I don't even like to think about that, because just the thought makes me nauseous, haha.

Jasper: Anything that isn't perfectly cooked, fresh food made with top-of-the-line, completely edible ingredients. My body is my temple, so why would I ever ingest anything less than exquisite?

Saoirse: I'm not really a picky eater, but I wouldn't eat anything that looks like it could give me food poisoning, or that seems like it was made by someone less-than-hygienic, y'know.

2.) Would you die for someone?

Rhys: Without a doubt, I would sacrifice myself to protect my twin, Gwyn, or our half-brother, Adrien. Even if he can be a piece of work sometimes and is far from the easiest dude to deal with sometimes, we're still family.

Jasper: Why would I lay down my own life for somebody else? That's ridiculous, my friend! I'm far too marvelous to die - much less for somebody else. However... I think, if it was strictly necessary or an absolute spur-of-the-moment last resort, I might put my life at risk if I needed to save my Father.

Saoirse: Death kinda creeps me out, y'know. But if I had no other choice, I would definitely say that I would die for my friends - they're my family, for better or for worse. Our little Chaos Gang, until the end of the line, that kinda deal.

3.) If you could only save one thing from your home in a fire, what would it be?

Rhys: If my siblings were still inside I would definitely prioritize getting them out before even thinking about other things. But if they were already out... I think I would get some money or clothes. Maybe a cellphone or something like that too.

Jasper: Ha! As if my house would ever be on fire, human. The Astrophell mansion has the most high-tech, thorough security systems in our planet. A fire would be put out by it before it could even start, and if anyone wanted to purposefully start a fire they would have to bypass the security measures, and honestly, good luck to them, haha!

Saoirse: (Doesn't answer at first, gaze seeming distant and viscerally horrified at the mention of a "house fire", hands fidgeting and shaking for a moment before she shakes herself back to the present)... I-I don't wanna talk about that, can you just change the subject?

Heads Up Seven Up

Thanks for the tag @the-golden-comet!!! I'll go with a snippet I wrote for one of the future chapters of Supernova Initiative that I've been working on!

・・・

Artemis stammers, trudging up to the other quickly and stopping right in front of the other, arms crossed, “I know you heard what I said, you dipshit.” He said, glaring venomously at the other, who simply stood there, a placid, mock-innocent smile on his lips as if he had no idea what the other was talking about, but Artemis knew he did, he knew him. He took a deep breath, “I’m gonna ask again, and you’re going to answer, or I’m gonna throw you right into that hail storm - can you just use your damn wrist computer to map out a path?”

He punctuated each of those words, being as painfully clear as he could get. For a moment, Kye said nothing in response, just smiled, standing there - and at that precise moment of silence, Artemis wanted nothing more than to deck him. Thankfully, for Kye’s sake, the other decided to speak. 

“Maybe I can…” His voice was cheeky, with a pseudo-sweetness to it that told Artemis that Kye was simply toying with him. The alien tilted his head to the side like a stray cat,  “If you ask nicely.”
