Wow, I’m flattered that you consider me intimidating, Anon. Though, I suspect that if I met anyone from here irl without knowing it was them, I’d either eventually bore you (it’s happened, alas), or I’d be more awkward than you and the conversation would go no further than basic pleasantries (a frequent result of seeing people I already know and discovering I have nothing substantial to say to them and that I’ve what little I knew about them decayed).

That said, if you ever want to dm me, in the near or far future, I’m willing to talk! I am nice, hopefully. (Sometimes, I forget to start with small talk. My fault, no one else’s. Don’t worry.) There’s a chance that stating all this outright probably makes you less inclined to believe me, whatever I say from here forward. Or, this guess could be incredibly contrived and I’ve anticipated nothing in this one-way “conversation.” So, I will just leave it up to you to judge me.

And if this is any help, I am actually cowardly—despite the fact that I write about murder and torture on occasion.

How much time are you usually on your phone for??

I'm not sure, and luckily, I don't seem to get eyestrain. Probably, I'm on it for far longer than is advisable. And still yet, it's convenient. To be fair, I don't often carry books around with me, and my laptop is often unwieldy in a public setting. So? Phone it is.

Quintana: You should be locked up! You are a danger to humanity!

Rafal: [seething with rage] That will never happen.

200 years later:

Rafal: [indignantly to no one in particular] Hmpth, I chose to lock myself up!

Agatha: [through an air vent, rolling her eyes] You must've gone stir-crazy. Even locked up you still endangered us.

Post-TLEA:

Dean Sophie: Oh, this old thing? Yes, I renovated everything in the tower—couldn't possibly live in a musty, old cell like Rafal did. I have standards.

How's your love life?? (This isn't meant to be taken seriously) Do with it what you will.

I’ve never had a love life and currently don’t want one. It sounds like too much work.

You've done Rhian's morning routine, so what's your morning routine??

My routine varies based on the time of year, or where I am, but generally, I wake, dress, wash up, otherwise groom, etc., have breakfast (and often, read while I eat), arrange hard copies for that day, if there are any, and go to class, if I have a class that day. It’s not that narratively compelling, so I hope I haven’t disappointed, haha.

EDIT: I possibly should have included “Calculated, devious, or seductive” and also “Apathetic” somewhere, so those are two further options. The poll only allows twelve options in total.
