10 How's
How did you get one of your scars?
I keep recounting the story of my eyebrow scar, so I’ll share something else...I have several scars on both my knees since I was the neighborhood’s clumsiest kid and ALWAYS tripped/stumbled when I played outside. I used to be extremely insecure of my legs, but started to stop caring as I gradually noticed that no one really gives a shit about scars from childhood accidents.
How did you celebrate your last birthday?
I went to work, being the workaholic I am. I only celebrated in the evening, when I bought a week’s worth of food for my family and I to feast on. I was honestly fine with it; it was exactly how I wanted my birthday to go as I’ve stopped wanting to make a big deal out of it haha.
How are you feeling at this moment?
Weirdly relaxed for a Sunday. The gloomy and cozy weather is probably helping with that.
How did your night go last night?
As a fangirl, good! Got lots of new content which is always fun. As a person (lol), it was just fine. I like being able to recharge on weekends and I can never really complain even if I don’t end up doing anything productive.
How did you do in high school?
I was a bit all over the place. I exerted some level of effort in my favorite classes but didn’t really do the same for subjects I didn’t care for as much, like home ec, chemistry, math, etc; but on average I managed to get good grades all throughout. Overall, I kinda acknowledged very early on that high school grades weren’t going to matter in the real world so I didn’t make it a point to overexert myself and just focused on having fun and making fond memories in those teen years.
How did you get the shirt you're wearing?
I got it from Artwork, a local brand that sells various apparel sporting designs produced by local artists. The branch I got it from has since shut down but I believe the brand is still alive and well.
How often do you see your best friend?
I used to see Angela once in a blue moon mainly because our schedules always clashed back when we were still students, but ever since forming our little Army friend group with Reena I’ve been seeing her nearly every week.
How much money did you spend last month?
LOL June was actually my worst and most shameful performance when it came to spending...let’s move on...
How old do you want to be when you get married?
Kinda happen it would happen by the time I’m in between the ages of 28 and 30, kind of losing hope on it.
How old will you be at your next birthday?
24.
NINE What’s
What is the most important part of your life?
I’ve said this several times but it’s really work. I’m aware of my weaknesses at my job and I want nothing more than to improve on those just because my perfectionist ass can’t bear being bad at something I’m supposed to be contributing to lol.
What did you do last weekend?
Last Saturday I watched BTS’ concert in Sao Paulo and had my first session at my Korean class. Last Sunday I mostly chilled at home but I also went to Starbucks to work for a bit but to also just relax before the week started.
What did you last cry over?
Watching Angela and Reena’s graduation ceremony this afternoon. It’s hilarious because I didn’t even cry during and was mostly indifferent towards my own grad, but I surprised myself by breaking into tears while watching theirs. I’m guessing the emotions simply welled up from me being very grateful for our friendship, which formed when I needed it the most.
What are you worried about?
I always get Monday anxiety on Sundays, so let’s go with that.
What is your mother’s name?
Abby.
What always makes you feel better when you’re upset?
BTS, for one.
What would you rather be doing?
It’s not a matter of what I would rather be doing, but where I would rather be. And right now, I wish I was back on a Friday evening with the weekend just about to start.
What’s the most important thing you look for in a significant other?
Patience.
What did you have for breakfast?
My mom cooked up a feast for today’s breakfast for no reason - we had fried rice, tocino, I think bangus(?) and if not bangus then it was some other kind of fish, corned beef, cheese omelette, glazed ham, bacon strips, and the leftover chicken wings from last night’s dinner.
EIGHT Have You’s
Have you ever done something outrageously dumb?
I probably do something of the sort at least once a day.
Have you ever had sex on the beach?
No. I think I might feel uncomfortable doing so, even if you told me it would be a private beach lol.
Have you ever been backstabbed by a friend?
Yes.
Have you ever been out of the country?
Yup, but it’s been a while. :( I haven’t traveled abroad since 2016.
Have you ever dated someone younger than you?
It barely counts; she was only like a month and half younger.
Have you ever liked someone who already had somebody?
That hasn’t happened.
Have you ever been brokenhearted?
Of course.
Have you ever read an entire book in one day?
Many times.
SEVEN Who’s:
Who is the last person you saw?
My dad. He was watching the evening news in his room when I heard the report playing Permission to Dance so I rushed in there to see what the news was going to be about, hahahaha.
Who is the last person that you texted?
...also my dad. I was just asking him where he was since I had been craving chapaguri the other day and was gonna request if he can quickly pass by the Korean mart near our village. He never replied so I just cooked the instant noodles that we have at home, which in hindsight was I guess for the better because at least I got to save the money I would’ve paid him with.
Who called you last?
The Lalamove driver I mentioned on the previous survey.
Who is the last person you hung out with?
Angela, Reena, and Hans.
Who did you hug last?
Angela, right before I left from her place last Tuesday.
Who is the last person that texted you?
Not sure.
Who was the las person you said "I love you" to?
Yumi, when I congratulated her on her graduation post.
SIX Where’s:
Where does your best friend live?
The city next to mine.
Where is your favorite place to be?
Either a coffee shop or our rooftop.
Where did you sleep last night?
My bed.
Where did you last hang out?
Mega with the three aforementioned friends.
Where do/did you go to school?
UP.
Where did you last adventure to?
...Mega. So repetitive hahaha but I don’t really go out much these days for obvious reasons.
FIVE Do’s/Does:
Do you ever wish you were someone else?
Not someone else in particular but I will sometimes daydream about having a different reality/situation, like being able to play an instrument or being more capable of affording more things.
Do you think anyone despises you?
Possibly.
Do you like someone right now?
Nopes.
Does the future scare you?
It doesn’t scare me so much as it’s increasingly starting to make me feel lonelier whenever I start thinking about it.
Do you have any secret powers?
Erm, no.
FOUR Why’s:
Why are you best friends with your best friend(s)?
They’ve both been there through the thick and the thin and the ugly with me and have never once left my side.
Why did your parents give you the name you have?
As for both my names, they just liked the sound of them.
Why did you get a myspace?
Because I noticed it was popular and I wanted to see what the fuss was about.
Why are you doing this survey?
Countdown surveys are always a fun format.
THREE If’s:
If you could have one super power what would it be?
Time travel.
If you could go back in time and change one thing, would you?
If it comes down to it, as irresistible as it seems, probably not.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
Somewhere with winter/snow.
Two Would-you-ever’s:
Would you ever shave your head to save someone you love?
I’m struggling to think how that can action save someone, but I guess if it ever does boil down to it then yeah, in a heartbeat. It grows back and if the situation was that drastic, hair would be the least of my concerns.
Would you ever get back together with any of your exes if they asked you?
Depends.
Last one:
Are you happy with how your life has turned out?
Very.

Asks 5, 14, 24, 27, 28, and 30 for Caligula and anyone else you want! (can't remember whether or not I just sent it, sorry if you got this ask twice!)
At the risk of being fickle, I'm gonna answer each question for Cali and a second person, but the second person will change for each question, cause there wasn't one person that I could think of a fun answer for every question for!
5. What is a secret that they have?
Cali tries to avoid directly mentioning when he's out in the Mojave that he basically got sent away from the Legion for being a disappointment, it's just embarrassing and kinda ruins his image of a cool tough guy who doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks. And with other Legion folks he keeps it on the DL that he's bi, for obvious reasons.
Ellen doesn't mention she's from the Institute until she knows someone fairly well, cause if you mention that in mixed company you might get cold clocked or worse! She doesn't support them or anything (or... didn't, since they are exploded before she comes aboveground, that's why she shows up in the first place), but some people won't let you get that far in the first place.
14. What is something that never fails to make them excited?
Fighting! Cali genuinely loves it, the rush of adrenaline, the excitement, how fucking good he is at it... it's all good.
Rosie gets excited about learning and knowledge, and also just kids being kids. She loves getting new books, hearing cool new facts, and seeing kids romping and playing, it waters her heart crops.
24. What do they think they’re good at, but aren’t?
Cali: talking to people. He thinks he's some kind of charming smooth talker, which... he is not. He's too blunt, and honestly a bit of a creep if he's trying to flirt or anything like that, but he's always like Yes. Nailed It.
Most of my characters are pretty aware of their flaws, so I don't know who to use for the second one... Mav often comes off as a jerk without meaning to, does that count?
27. Do they have any cool scar stories?
Cali has several! Some on his hands from practicing knife tricks, one in his eyebrow from getting glassed in a bar fight he started, one on his shoulder from trying to wrestle a nightstalker... He has a lot of scars, and most have some kind of story.
Kerry has her ghoulification-- I haven't quite decided how it happened, either she didn't quite make it to the vault in time or she was sent out early to see how things were and the answer was "very irradiated," but either way that's a good story!
Oh! Rowan has some scars on his knuckles from my favorite part of his story. A runaway Legion wife named Eden hired him to help her go west, and over time they caught feelings for each other and started a relationship. Then at one point her vengeful ex-husband caught up with them and Rowan beat him to a pulp, he went absolutely ham out of protectiveness and vengeance and meat tenderized the man's face. It destroyed his knuckles and he still has scars from that.
28. When left to their own devices, how would they spend a free day?
Honestly, for Cali, pretty close to a normal day for him now. Do some work (preferably easy, for good caps), go to a bar or casino, get blitzed, cause some trouble, and find somebody to do some freaky shit with. He's a simple man with simple pleasures.
Ezra feels guilty taking a whole day to himself, he should be helping people! But if he was persuaded to take a day off, he'd spend it with his Follower pals, maybe work on some knitting, do some baking, write a letter home... Oh, and take a much needed nap!
30. What is their ideal sleeping situation?
Cali's not fussy, he normally sleeps on the road in a makeshift camp, or a cheap motel or similar if there is one. He does enjoy having a real bed and a place to wash up, though, so somewhere more legit is ideal. Oh, he'd never admit it out loud, but he likes sleeping next to someone! He's a bit touch starved, and it feels nice to have somebody there.
Tacita likes a nice soft bed, and she hates sleeping alone-- she got used to always sharing a bed since she's been doing that with one husband or another since she was 16, so now she's gotta have a cuddle buddy. She gets cold easily, so lots of blankets too. Also, the best cuddle buddy is Cato because she loves him, and he comforts her when she has bad dreams.
Sorry this was kinda all over the place, it's a weird day haha. Thanks so much for the ask!!!!!
