[ Merric's AMA ]
"I have a brother too," Roswell volunteered stiffly, without the truth ring. "Family is overrated." He asked more gently, "What about yourself, what do you like to do in your spare time?"
[ Roswell's AMA ]
"It isn't me. It's the ring," Roswell said, not liking to have upset Lysander as much as he had, and to answer Merric, "All sorts, all kinds, Men's, womens, suits, formal, casual, couture, I would have liked to work in Sales, I applied to those kinds of places initially, Lysander works in health, which is...a job I could feel good about. A job I do feel good about."

"I mean, I probably wouldn't say no to you," said Nash, in answer to Sonja's question. "But I don't know any other people here, not really. There are a couple good looking people around here, I guess."
The glower grew in size. Nash opened his mouth to tell Dean exactly what he could do with his being a good friend n' s**t, except what came out instead was, "I don't really know. I always thought restraint was kinda sexy, or like power dynamics and - oh for the love of - "
His fist shot out and aimed for Dean's stomach.
Alice's look hadn't been missed; Nash shot her a glare as well, one that clearly said don't you dare.

"Fair enough!" She was pleased with the answer and laughed as she was blown a kiss. Nora wore armor partially for that same reason: to garner a response, to be striking. (To be remembered.) "Now, what craft would that be? As much as the color suggests, I doubt you're a green witch."

"Just the one thing?" She considered it. "Hmm. I love too many things for myself," she replied rather lazily. "But for the ring's sake, let's go with eating sweets. The ones that I make, specifically. Unlike sex, those have no chance of disappointing me."
Nora raised her brows at him slightly. "Your turn. Same questions."

[Melvin AMA]He whispered back to her. "Depends on the people involved. I'm picky and I am limited due to my STD."
As for her question, he cringed at the answer. "You haven't proved yourself to be anything other than a burden. You don't listen, you don't use your head, and I already have someone else that exhaust me to watch that they don't get into trouble. I'm not a shining example of having my s**t together to be pointing someone else in the right direction. I just don't want to see you dead."

Pushing the envelope had resulted in the envelope falling off the table, but that was okay. Sam had gotten some preliminary data she could work with.
"Health as in...?" she pried. (Why on earth would people be that fascinated by fashion...)

[ Roswell AMA ]
Loan sharking was a term that Merric knew well, in spite of his own fields of study lying more scientifically based; but who didn't know what loan sharks did? Roswell, however, did not look the sort of person who enforced this sort of thing, at least not from his immediate appearance.
Merric glanced sideways at Lysander, then back at Roswell, then at Lysander again.
"It's - I mean, it's all right," he said hesitantly, cautiously. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make either of you uncomfortable. Surely this is all just a result of...whatever it is that's making the rest of us say the truths as well, I, uh - at any rate, please don't feel like you have to apologize."
To Roswell, he said, "You do dress extremely well, I've noticed; it's very apparent you're well versed in good clothing."
Sam's question was met with a curious look that matched hers; something he was interested in the answer to as well.[ Merric AMA ]
The question was a relief, as was the quiet, mutual knowledge of how brothers could be. Merric gave Roswell a grateful look, then said, "I've tried to convince myself of that as well. As for what I do in my spare time, well..."
He shifted a little where he sat, tugging uncomfortably at his shirt, stiff with drying water. "I've always been interested in crosswords, though those are always exceedingly boring for other people, as many have told me. My studies were mostly genetics, and when I wasn't studying, I was extremely interested in animals as well, I used to go to the zoo repeatedly just to see the pandas."
There was a faint tinge of red to his cheeks now, the admission feeling childish in his throat.[ Kostya AMA ]
"Oh," said Merric, because he had not actually expected to learn that someone had lost an arm to...whatever a Legacy was. "I'm sorry to hear that. I mean...I haven't figured out what it is I'm doing here, exactly, but the experience in that desert was already one I don't wish to repeat."
He paused, then added, "You look very well, all things considered. Is there a lot of fighting here?"[ Nora AMA / Chance AMA ]
"My fiance likes sweets," said Chance with a laugh. "But you do have a point in that they can't disappoint you if you're the one that's making them, I think."
He grinned at her again, the turned around questions making him hum in thought.
"My mother," he said at length, to the first. "Not really a thing, I guess, but close enough. Although I'm not sure I hate her anymore, it's more like it's moved beyond hate at this point to something a little less well defined, a little more...abstract."
It was hard to describe. The second question was much easier, Chance's entire face lighting up.
"Stars," he said instantly. "Space. But mostly stars. Constellations. I have a telescope, a friend gave me, I use it almost daily."

[Melvin AMA]Melvin's words felt like a kick in the gut. She closed her eyes and gave a weak nod. So.. there was another dead end. She bit her lip and turned her head away so the shimmer of tears in her eyes were hidden. Even when one expected someone to say something negative it still hurt. "Oh... I.. see.." She swallowed and hugged herself. At the moment she felt alone. Even in a group, she had no one to speak to. "Thank you for answering me." She hadn't really caught any of the other looks at her. What else could she say or do? She was a burden. Aparently a danger to others. "So... I am nothing. Just.. like an, I don't know... waste of flesh to you." She winced at her own words. "Sorry..."

Even though clothe was already covering her mouth, her instant reaction of her finger tips covering her grinning mouth couldn't have been held back even if she had tried. Oh, this was wonderful.
"Pfff, glad to hear I'm still on an 'approval' level. BUT OH MAN!" Never would she had thought Nash to be into that kind of stuff.
She nearly fell over into the sand from laughing at the confession.
"Okay so kinks are outta the way. What about fantasies? Everybody's got some of those." Distant Li was shrieking in her head but she pushed it back for the sake of entertainment.

Dean was already wheezing from laughter before the punch winded him. He fell over and clutched his stomach, but the damage was done. He felt it was karmic, given what had happened in the desert, to finally have something to lord over the edgelord.
"Don't wear it if you're that sensitive, manwhore!" He cackled some more even as he caught his breath. "D'you need aftercare when you're done?"

"Pharmaceuticals." Lysander said with a lazy drawl at the question. "Drugs. A very very large company, fingers in a lot of pies, hospitality, trading, importing, lobbying. There's a lot of money in America for the taking if you get the right drug patents and friends."
It sounded more impressive when he didn't mention the fact that he'd been incredibly bored of it for the most part and hadn't at all felt very good about it, aware that while he was studying white magic and indulging in holistic medicine he was part of a collective which was squeezing every single penny out of the most needy people in the world. He'd just tried not to think about it. He tried not to think about a lot of things.
"Why do you care?"
[ Roswell AMA ]
Merric was doing a good job trying to defuse the situation but Lysander couldn't simply relax after the discussion, feeling very irritable and very violated by it all. "Maybe he should have joined a fashion company, after all he was born like that."

Kim's AMA"So like, why can't you just... not do stupid things? Like, it's hard to be friends with someone if they just really want a minder. That's practically saying you want to be someone's burden, and that's really uncool." The teenager lectured Kim, hands on hips and a more than a little offended at that idea of friendship. "If you want friends, why don't you start out by being a friend yourself?" This Afterschool Special was brought to you by the America Jones Foundation for Wayward People Who Should Be More Like Her.

"It's not what other people will say more that it's what they say will be the solution and not what I want to do, so they will then give up on helping because I refuse to follow their program exactly." He said, looking at Rep. "You think I'm wishy washy but you hide away in basements and don't want anyone near you. You didn't used to give so much of a damn but now you've lost so much energy. What happened?"

[Melvin AMA]Rep just snorted at Melvin. "******** off Melvin. I'm tired because I'm working all the time, because I don't have time like you to moon over old perverts." And looking away he seemed to be bored hassling the other man.

[Melvin AMA]"I didn't say that. Are you even listening? I'm not going to fix you. If your reasoning to be my friend is to somehow be cured of your problems then no, I don't want to be your friend. I never said you were nothing or saw you as just a waste of flesh. I thought saying I didn't want to see you dead made that clear. There are other people on this island to be friends with." He said, a bit frustrated. Then, because she had brought it up, he added. "I don't want to ******** you either."
