Now I'm wondering if you can put alcohol in hot chocolate. It's gotta be a thing XD
Edit: Yep. It it.
every Latino knows to be fearful of 2 things, la chancla (the sandal) and being called by your full name
Ozwald: unpopular opinion.... once every two to three da mufghjfffff!!!
Higen shoves a soap bar into Ozwal´s mouth
Higen: you have to take a shower at the very least once a day especially if you had a training session and a very relaxing bath at the end of the day to make you forget all of your troubles.
Ozwald: coff Mr. Goddie two shoes coff I don't sweat that much that´s why I don't take constant showers
Q #2: they're all Japanese. 95% of the cast across my books are. Bathe once per day and change clothes daily. Everything else is crazy world. These are the Japanese rules.
XDDD. Well I suppose everywhere has different rules. Lot's of people bathe twice a day in other places I think. And when you wash your clothes by hand (like I have to) I often rewear jeans and skirts and such. Now Alicia has no such struggle. She owns a washing machine and a ton of clothes, but she'll say she's conserving resources for the environment. (which I also consider a fair point)
Q1 - Is hot cocoa dessert?
Rose - Of course not! Stupid question.
Keanu - Yeah, it's a beverage.
Natsumi - I mean, I've had cocoa after a meal before.
Rose - But the rest of us have tea and coffee. You know, drinks.
Kukui - Is soup a drink?
Keanu - I mean...I guess?
Natsumi - That makes sense! Cocoa is like the soup of dessert!
Rose - What? No! That's dumb!
Natsumi - You're face is dumb! Maybe that's dessert!
Fuyumi - Can we move on to the next question, please? Let's not fall out over this.
Rose - How about I make your face soup? Tenderise it a little!
Natsumi - My face isn't sweet, so it's not dessert, idiot!
Keanu - Pretty sure she wasn't claiming that.
Lok - Are marshmallows in cocoa analogous to croutons?
Keanu - Not helping!
Kukui - I'm hungry now...
Q2 - How often should you shower/change your clothes?
Natsumi - They're both food you drink! How is this a big deal?
Rose - Because it's a dumb idea and you're dumb for thinking it!
Keanu - We've moved on to the next question.
Natsumi - Why can't you accept that it can be both?
Rose - Because words mean things! You can't just redefine beverage to whatever you like!
Lok - In my experience, excessive bathing can give your position away to the enemy.
Keanu - It's also a good way to get your ass exiled from camp.
Kukui - He smells like a tree.
Fuyumi - I change my outfit every day, though it's hard to bathe in the wild.
Keanu - We've worn the same outfits every day for the past month!
Fuyumi - My hoodie and jacket are the same but the shirt underneath is different.
Natsumi - #cocoaissoup!
Rose - That's not a thing! It's never going to be a thing!
Kukui - You can join us when we go bathing in lakes and stuff.
Fuyumi - ...that's fine. I can wait.
Keanu - Why? It's not like the artist is going to draw you nude.
Natsumi - THIS IS THE HILL I DIE ON!!!

What is the most irrational thing you're legitimately afraid of.
Alicia: I don't know that this is irrational, but I am terrified of my wrap dress coming unwrapped in public, or anywhere where I'm not completely alone. I won't even wear "Real" wrap dresses because this happened to me once while I was leaving my bathroom. Thank heavens I live alone.
Melissa: Girl that is a very real fear. Don't get me started about how afraid I am of my dress accidentally getting tucked up in my waist band whenever I wear tights. OH! and a garter coming undone and making your stocking fall down and puddle around your ankles. Or losing an earring when you're cooking. Ugh! but my absolute biggest fear is that my dog will turn into a werewolf at some point and absolutely devour me. He's a sweetheart, but it's pretty scary to run into him pacing the living room in the middle of the night when he's awake for no good reason whatsoever.
Kattar: Yeahhh, well maybe that thing where you touch something really cold with wet hands and your skin freezes to it. This basically never happens, so it might be irrational, but the two times it's happened to me I was really afraid of losing part of my skin.
Andrew: That every creak of the floor boards is a stranger walking around the house? I know it's just the wood flexing as the temperature changes, but Jinho's not heavy enough to make the floor creak so every single time I would hear them when I first moved into my grandpa's old place I would wake up wondering who was walking around.
Jinho: That the visa laws will suddenly change and make it completely unaffordable to be a long-term resident outside of my home country.
Andrew: That's not irrational, buddy. The economy is insane.
Leia: I don't think this is irrational, but crashing into something full-speed on my bicycle and completely destroying my face.
Riley: I'm always afraid my bed frame is going to break. I know it's stupid, but it groans like a ten million year old man every time I lay down, and I just think it's this close to it's end.

For Wild Nights, Hot and Crazy Days (the OC is me):
Q: Is Hot Chocolate a dessert?
A: No, I drink hot chocolate like others drink coffee. I don't drink coffee, so when somebody makes a coffee run I always get HC.
Q: How often do you shower/change your clothes?
A: Shower/bath: Daily. I have a dirty job, so a nice bath at the end of the day to wash that transmission fluid and gear oil out of my hair is a necessity.
Clothes: I will wear the same T-shirt and pants for a week, but with a caveat: Work supplies us with uniforms, so I wear my "street" clothes to work, change into my uniform, then at the end of the work day I change back into my street clothes, wear them home, and after supper and a walk with the dog, I get into the bath. Because I only wear the clothes for about two hours a day I use the same ones all week. At weekends I wear different clothes.
Q: Irrational fears?
A: Heights. I am generally fearless, except when it comes to heights. I have always joked that I walk with a slouch because even my own height scares me. Even still, though, when I need to overcome this fear I do (such as when I built my house and had to build the roof) but the entire time I am elevated so is my heart rate.
For Daecon of Finding Daecon's Way (answered in first person):
Q: Hot chocolate/dessert?
A: Hot chocolate isn't even food, man, unless you're eight years old. Gimme coffee. In fact, gimme lots of coffee.
Q: Clothes/Shower?
A: Several times daily for each, but that has changed since my powers as a Dunamis have come in because it is not necessary (they tell me that my person cannot be soiled, and so far it seems to be true - when I shower the water beads and runs right off)
Q: Irrational fears?
A: My biggest fear is that I will be a failure as a leader of the Shapeshifters. They keep telling me that I was born for it, but I sure don't feel like it...
Ozwald: inhales deeply skatebords and skateborders
Higen: The what now?
Ozwald: shussss I knew when we came to the human realm that they would have more advanced things than us, but a board should not be rolling on the ground is very dangerous, and I... I am afraid if I stepped on one I would hurt myself badly... and for the skaters, I don't know if they managed to gain dominion over them they are scarier by hierarchy. so what's yours Higen?
Higen: puff My sweet naïve Ozwald I am a brave Elisyan Knight I fight and slay monsters with you and save people I do n... why do you have that?!?
Ozwald: opens Higen´s diary and begins reading in a deep voice Dear diary... I saw one of them again in the park today... they were standing quietly banging against an invisible wall created by themselves, with their black and withe sweater, their white and black face paint and lipstick, and that tiny black hat, when they looked at me with their black doll-like eyes I took my chances and ran from the park in a hurry.
Higen: STOP IT!!! I can't hear you lalalalalala,
Ozwald: you are afried of mimes!
Higen: no, no, you listen to me Ozwald, you don't get it I don't like things I can't see they are difficult to deal with, nor incorporeal things I can't fight those, and they have both, they channel the dark arts to create invisible intangible constructs I don't like them!!!
Ozwald: it´s okay big guy if we find a mime in the wild you can hold my hand for support... but if we find one on an invisible skateboard we both run, okay?

Is cold cereal real food and which goes first, milk or cereal?
Alicia: I think it's a real food. I usually can't get myself to eat heavy meals so it's nice to have something that's easy on my stomach. someone will say I'm a lunatic, but I pour the milk before the cereal so I can put the milk carton back into the fridge before I start eating without having to worry about my cereal getting soggy.
Kattar: then how on earth are you supposed to make sure you get the right milk to cereal ratio you madwoman? It's okay to let the cereal absorb a LITTLE bit of milk. Your cereal isn't going to turn into pudding in the 40 seconds it takes to put the milk back in the fridge, and trying to pour cereal into a bowl full of milk just makes a mess.
Andrew: I wasn't aware cereal and milk required a ratio...
Jinho: Or you could just leave the milk out for the five minutes it takes to eat a bowl of cereal. You're gonna need to pour another one. Heaven knows one bowl of cold cereal has never quelled anyone's hunger in the history of ever.
Andrew: (mildly) I pour my milk first, but I can understand both perspectives, I'm not really stuck on it. It's just because my older sister always used to do milk first so it's what I'm used to. My auntie used to tell me I was a crazy person for doing milk first, "what do you think you are, a little heathen?" but she was always joking so...
Jinho: Also cereal is not food.
Kattar: I agree, it's more of a dessert.
Alicia: Kattar Moon!
Kattar: It requires a spoon Miss Thang, so according to your definition, it is one.
Andrew: What if you just eat it dry out of hand?
Jinho: Oh heaven.
Kattar: that's a whole 'nother arguement.
Andrew: I think cereal is a light breakfast. Like a piece of toast, or a yogurt, or anything else you eat when you just want a little something to get started in the day. I can't eat anything that light because I burn a lot of energy with my job, but I used to eat it more often when I was little.
Jinho: I was going to say it's kibble for people.
Kattar: Well yeah, it's that too.
Melissa: It's food! And I will eat until the cows come home! Do not tell me I'm too old for fruit loops, or fruity pebbles, or cocoa pebbles or anything else. I'm not about to start eating BRAN FLAKES just because I'm over thirty now. Give me a bowl of fake fruit flavored food dye and a bagel swamped in cream cheese and that's a good day, in my opinion.

Is "drama" a real fiction genre?
Alicia: Of course it is, why wouldn't it be?
Kattar: Because drama literally just means the story has a suspenseful plot. Every story is supposed to have drama or it's not worth watching.
Jinho: I thought drama was the same thing as a telanovela. you know, when there's insanity without a plot.
Alicia: But what about heart warming sweet things? those don't have drama.
Kattar: Usually they still do, even if it's only slight. So I say drama isn't a real genre.
Andrew: I'm gonna have to agree with him. I mean, every drama is just a combination of other genres anyway right? It's either "slice of life," or romance, or fantasy or something, so...
Melissa: Drama is a real genre, don't make me fight you.
