Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

My DM sent us these  50 character builder questions for your tabletop character by Ginny Di  and I'm going to answer them 15ish at a time for both of my characters, but now I'm answering for Rivulet Brook (and answering in the first person). Do you love or hate being alone? I think I love being alone in a group of people--I love to people watch and listen in, but I'd hate to be alone with no one around What’s the last nightmare you remember having? A series of violent and dark images as to what could've happened to my parents Do you admit to mistakes when you make them? I'm inclined not to, but I will Do you want to grow up to be like your parents? I don't know as I never knew them How do you deal with being sick? Are you stoic, or super whiny? I express my feelings through my lyre What did your parents expect from you when you were born? I'll never know Do you have a strong sense of style? Yes, but my limited budget means I have to mostly just keep myself n...

My DM sent us these  50 character builder questions for your tabletop character by Ginny Di  and I'm going to answer them 15ish at a time for both of my characters, but now I'm answering for Rivulet Brook (and answering in the first person). Can you tell when someone is flirting with you? Absolutely and I enjoy it Do you think money can buy happiness? No, I've observed a lot of gossip over the years and I don't see a correlation between happiness and wealth Do you believe in destiny? As rivers ebb and flow and change, so does our path in life Are you a good cook? I'm average at making texture work as we shared chores at the temple, but my prestidigitation allows me to flavor foods to be the most delicious What do you think happens after you die? Pelor, Selune, and Melora measure the balance of your life Did you have to grow up fast? Yes, but I still had somewhat of a childhood Who do you look up to? Priests of Geshtai.

Are you a morning person or more of a night owl? I am naturally more of a morning person, but I will stay up late to investigate gossip and to play my lyre What’s the first thing you notice about a person when you meet them? Whether or not they have a secret You see a huge spider in your room. What do you do? Leave If you could go back and change one decision you made in the past, what would you change? I would have left Goa earlier Tell me about your first kiss. There was a little boy who was also being raised in the Geshtai temple and we spent almost all of our time together. When we were 10 we kissed while hiding away from the priests Do you give people second chances? If they're useful to me Are you a cat person or a dog person? I fi...

Variety show! Monét really was an obvious winner To be fair, everyone has done pretty well this season Aw I wish we'd seen all of these emotions Aw, Shea "Is it gross that I want to bang fake me?" Who is Hannah Einbinder? (I'm not hip) I can't imagine seeing Ru in person Oh I would fish Huh, I wouldn't pick Naomi Smalls (but who would I pick?) "Hats off to you" "And also with you" Jenga!

Champagne doesn't taste that good...hot take Kara does look amazing You're not supposed to bring open drinks in a car... Aw, Guillermo Temperature, you are overstepping a bit I do think moving is a good idea Temperature doesn't need to be here for this Ah so Bilal's mom knows about the prenup too Man the previews made it seem like Thaís was leaving by herself Patrick keeps having more siblings Patrick's mom has cancer? Thaís is a liar Mohamed needs to fix that one chunk of hair (okay he did...and then didn't) Mohamed's mom is on Yve's side Jibri and Miona are matching again How are they affording this?

Variety show! Trinity dragging Jaida is pretty funny Woo Planned Parenthood ! Trans Lifeline is a new one for me, but sounds good Monét may not have the best voice... Color of Change is a great one The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence seems really important The Period Poverty Project is one I haven't heard of, but sounds great The National Center for Transgender Equality sounds good To be fair, Jinkx, I don't think you held back in the design challenges Congrats on two years of sobriety, Jinkx (and almost 22, Ru!) The Black Visions Collective is another I haven't heard of, but sounds great Aw, Jaida, I want to hug you Free Black Therapy is yet another new one I love this Ru look I haven't even heard of the series the guest judge is on...I'm so out of the loop Trinity's act was fun, but didn't wow me I called Yvie fitting in that box Jaida really knows her brand and the Goldblum face really got me Jinkx can really sing Shea's song is ca...

Are you a morning person or more of a night owl?  Morning person--that's what being raised by farmers will do for you What’s the first thing you notice about a person when you meet them?  Whether or not they seem okay with my horns You see a huge spider in your room.

I could probably use a new hobby, so here are some ideas (I would not do all of them). Something that gets you outdoors (like birding) Something that gets you moving (like running) Something that expresses your visual creativity (like painting) Something that expresses your physical creativity (like dancing) Something that expresses your practical creativity (like knitting) Something that expresses your musical creativity (like voice lessons) Something that expresses your delicious creativity (like cocktail making) Something that makes you a daredevil (like hang gliding) Something that gets you involved in your community (like volunteering to clean up a park) Something that allows you to show off a bit (like community theater) Something that allows you to pamper yourself (like nail art) Something that expands your knowledge (like taking a history class) Something that gets you politically active (like volunteering for an organization you believe in) Something that allows you to express...

Time for some fights and spilled beans. Emily...you don't have to keep it from your parents Emily, it's nice for friends to show up early Maybe everywhere everyone should have a say? How can they afford to move? Thaís, Patrick doesn't understand because you haven't told him Patrick...maybe say you want to get married because you love her not cause her visa requires it? Why are you going in the garage, Patrick? Good thinking consulting a lawyer, Shaeeda Oof Bilal Shocker...the prenup is one-sided Bilal...you have to let the prenup be fair Yve...you two are so incompatible Is cupping BS?

Roast time! Monét, literally everyone besides Shea is in that club It was a pretty solid joke though, Raja It is pretty wild to me that Shea only has one star Idk based on how Jinkx crammed that peanut butter sandwich in her mouth, she may win a hot dog eating contest, Shea I feel like it's been a while since we've seen the pit crew Oh Jinkx I hope the pit crew gets paid well Is Yvie wearing one of her stars as an earring? (Yes) I would also predict Monét and Jinkx will win again Solomon Georgio is a cutie Seems like this'll be a fun roast Twinner strategizing time I really like Ru's look Isn't Ross's shirt the same as his previous one, just in a different color? I thought it was hall of shame? YES! WINTERGREEN!

Jinkx is killing Ru Everyone is doing pretty well though Jaida is stumbling ...

Just some helpful things to look for! Salary (try Glassdoor if it's not posted) Glassdoor ranking of the company If you can, see when the posting was last posted (what's the turnover like?) If it mentions working nights and/or weekends/holidays How much travel is required If it's a new position (if so, expect some rockiness) What items are required for the application (this should give an idea as to what they value in the job e.g. a writing sample) How big the company is LinkedIn profiles of potential coworkers (can give you a sense of the makeup of the company) The benefits (depending on what they are, your compensation could be significantly better or worse than you thought) The company's mission statement If it's relevant, where the company donates its money Requirements versus preferences for a candidate Company history If it's relevant, when the company has appeared in the news (Prompt by Kimisha Cassidy) "20190328-FS-JobCorpsShadow-TEF-014" by Fo...

OMG to this whole Kobe and Emily conversation Uh oh...do you maybe just not trust Guillermo, Kara? I don't think Shahidah was trying to bully Shaeeda Jibri...don't let Miona do this Well that didn't go nearly as badly as I expected What is this place that Yve and Mohamed are touring? Why can't they have two weddings? This hairdresser is stressing Guillermo out John's taste is impecctuous How many people does it take to button a collar? Shaeeda is making some good points Oof this conversation between Kara and Guillermo isn't going well Why is Mohamed texting Yve from the kitchen?

Original prompt: What dumb things do people say to you on the regular? Asking when I'll have kids Complaining to me that they're fat when I outweigh them significantly Telling me I'm not fat when I am Saying I was finally starting a "real job" after I'd already been working fulltime Arguing with me about immigration in an ignorant manner Writing I'd fucked up their work (in a professional email) when I'd actually saved them a significant amount of work Claiming sunlight can't get through windows Wondering aloud why I took breaks at work every hour Asserting that the snack on the table wasn't spicy at all (when it was super spicy to me) Letting me know their off leash dog wasn't friendly Inquiring if I was sure I'd never had sex (this was a nurse in college) Replying to my anxiety by saying I was being narcissistic Lying to me about health Calling me ma'am when I was about 23 Declaring he wasn't trying to learn my work schedule w...

Social media dance challenge! So is Raja the only one who hasn't been blocked? Raja is mad that she won't get blocked? I would hate this challenge (because I'm such a poor dancer) Jinkx is chaos Monét is right that you should always take Ru's suggestions These bloopers are great Ru looks good Didn't Ben Platt do badly in the movie version of  Dear Evan Hansen ? Shea looks divine but her Ruveals weren't huge Jaida looks gorgeous and her Ruveals are perfection The Vivienne just took off a cape and a skirt but she does look good (love the boots) Raja's look is super fun Yvie's look is so cool (especially the head piece) Jinkx's look was fascinating to me Monét's look is the only one that really means something Trinity looks lovely but her Ruveals were really just getting more and more naked Shea's video is taking too long (but maybe this is how they all will be) Shea's steps were hilarious Jaida has funny bits but her voice is kinda one note...

Original prompt: What places annoy you and why? I also get creative with the definition of "place". The office: I just feel pressure there Doctor office: They are somehow ALWAYS behind and more than once it could've been a telehealth visit Traffic: Just so frustrating Crowded bars: Soooo loud Downtown Chicago on St. Patrick's Day: I don't like being surrounded by drunk people Post office: There's always a line DMV: Lines, lines, lines Sports games: Not that I'm there frequently, but I just feel out of place Airports: Security tends to stress me out Bathroom during a performance: Again, the lines The vet: Always late and I can't be with Hoban during most procedures On the phone with insurance: I get so frustrated I cry Zillow: Just so many places I want but can't have Clothing stores: Hard to find my size Bra stores: Ditto (Prompt provided by Brianna Aaron) "The City" by Herry Lawford .  Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0) .

Baby? Tharan seems so sweet This is maybe a conversation not to have in front of Tharan Yve and Mohamed both have valid points, but I kinda think Yve should bend So...who is the DD, Patrick? Is there barbed wire at this restaurant? Gosh I hate to take Patrick's side, but he's right that Thaís's dad should know Omg John shouldn't talk to Thaís's dad Jibri...how can Miona work on her brand in SD? Is your grandma a gangster, Jibri? I mean...Miona has to rely on you Jibri I like Jibri's grandma Jibri...you should've made the decision about whether to get married before you proposed and definitely before you had Miona disrupt her whole life to come to the US It is weird for Leandro to come wedding dress shopping 10?!?!?!
