I know I'm late to the party here, but hey - better late then never! Or worse, I suppose, depending on Hugh's mood ... either way, the twins present ~NishaKay's meme!

[Italicized text] can be taken for Giselle's written contributions. Or, I suppose, for whatever else you'd like, but Giselle's written contributions will make more sense in context.

1. For novelty's sake, what's your full name? Make it interesting and add in your middle name if you haven't already. Give us a good run-down of all your basic info - age, ethnicity, are you human or something else, height, eye color, the basics.

'The basics', it says. The basics for what? You know that I have better things to do than to answer idle questions, don't you? I could, I don't know, teach whoever wrote this one or two things about taking a decent history?

... yes, all right, fine, don't sulk. Hugh Lafayette, I have no middle name, and Giselle doesn't either. We're five feet, two inches, have blonde hair and blue eyes, are fourteen years old. And yes, human. Most people are, you know.

2. What did you think of your first opponent? Were they really so bad, or was this an unlucky circumstance for both parties? Alternatively, if you didn't get into the main brawl...who did you want to fight?

I just want to protest one more time that I don't like tests. As for him ... He was more complicated than he should have been, but I guess he --

I'm fine, Giselle! He barely even --

Well, you don't know that he didn't get killed, in the end --

Um. May we continue on, please?

3. Are you in the mob? If not, do you at least have a police record (blackmail, assault, arson, extortion, prostitition? ) to make yourself seem interesting? Or are you a goody little two-shoes?

I am a doctor.

...

All right, I am a doctor and an unaccompanied minor.

What? If you want to say more, you're welcome to. No? Well, then, don't give me that look!

4. Do you have anything else that you CLAIM is your occupation, if your actual one don't go over well with the bulls?

I ... am a doctor. Why are you asking these questions if you're not going to read the answers? I don't have time for this.

5. Is this what you expected out of life? (In other words, what did you WANT to be when you grew up?)

Mon dieu, are you all idiots? I. Am. A. Doctor. Un médecin, do you need me to write it out phonetically??

...

Apparently Giselle wanted to be a pirate. I think she's lying about that.

6. What motivates you the most?

What motivates anyone? It's a bit hard to be idealistic when you can't afford to eat or bribe the police.

7. Relationships, right? You into dames or fellas? Been around, still testing the waters, saving yourself?

I have better things to do with my time. Saving lives, minding my own business, not answering pointless questionnaires ...

[Some boys can be rather charming ...]

8. Tell us about your family, or who you consider to BE your family. If you are an amnesiac, orphan, or it doesn't apply to anyone, do you angst about lack of attachment, or feel oddly freed by lack of any obligation to another?

Uncle Jasper counts, I guess, at least until we can convince him not to. He minds his own business, we mind ours, it works much better than when he was actually relevant. If you've got any more questions, you're welcome to ask him? He's probably only slightly drunk this early in the evening ...

9. What about friends? BEST Friend?

Giselle is all I need. Ack, get off, let go, can't breathe!

10. What are some interesting aspects of your life that you have not gotten to shed light on in any other part of the competition?

[The day before our thirteenth birthday, Millie Downing, the butcher's daughter, asked Hugh to marry her. She was really sweet, and not as chubby as Hugh says she was. She brought him a beautiful bouquet of bullrushes and daisies and what are they called, the carotte sauvage, the pretty lacy flower, but she didn't realise that there was a bee in the bouquet, and Hugh's --]

My sister isn't as funny as she thinks she is, and I'd like to change my last answer. Aside from that, nothing's coming to mind, no. Next pointless question?

11. Gotta be able to look out for number one - what do you fight like? (If you have a hard time answering this 'in-character' don't sweat it, and just talk as the creator! Got any examples? YouTube, name drops, movie references, etc... Credit to ~r-e-v-e)

Damn it, I'm a doctor, not some sort of brawler!

[I hit things, and they stop being a problem.]

*sigh* We do as best we can, given our limitations.

12. Let's say you have to team up with someone out of the ordinary. Who'd you prefer, who'd you rather not? What do you see happening with either?

Anyone who can actually fight seems to be either insane or stupid. Giselle likes the magic women, and I guess the dead man and the berzerker could be useful? Or Monsieur le policier, if he ever shut up.

13. How do you like the swamp? Would you have preferred something else?

I avoid the swamp, and we get along just fine. Giselle ... I swear, sometimes I think she likes places better if they're dirty and full of aligators.

14. You might have noticed there's a bit of a war going on in Bayou City. Chosen a side, or is it not your conflict? If you didn't get 'recruited', who were you gunning for? Rooting for someone else now that you're just on the sidelines?

We do whatever we have to, if it'll pay the bills. Right now, the Baron's the one being generous.

15. Anything that would make you consider changing sides? Or choosing one, depending on your last answer...

Deaf, dumb, blind, and idiotic. One more of these and I don't care how long you'll sulk, I quit!

16. Sure, prohibition is all the rage right now, but everyone likes to let their hair down and get crazy. What kind of drunk are you?

I'd rather have my mind working properly, thanks, although a bit of moonshine is good for keeping patients from flopping around ...

*giggles*

17. Any bad habits you might like to tell us about? Chemical or personal, whatever they may be.

[I don't think we get enough sleep?]

18. Anything you LEGITIMATELY don't like about yourself? Physically? As a person?

[We'd both like to be taller.]

I have no idea what she's talking about. I'm fine.

19. Aside from traits or quirks, what about actions? Is there anything you regret doing?

I regret agreeing to answer this damn thing.

[Playing poker with that man with the harmonica was a very bad idea.]

20. You just succesfully pulled off a job/heist/arrest/etc, WHAT DO YOU DO FOR YOUR VICTORY DANCE? Or if you're not the dancin' type how do you celebrate? (credit to :devxxbirdfirexx"

A good philosophy book, or a proper night's sleep both sound sort of nice.

21. Speaking of which, what's your general monetary situation? Comfortable? Plush? Just getting by?

That's it, au revoir!

...

...

!

22. What's your ideal first date? (credit to ~r-e-v-e)

...

23. Any secrets? ^.~

...

24. Eventually we all die, there no avoiding it. How do you think you will "bite the bullet"? (credit to ~NightShadered)

...

25. What do you see life like when you retire or if Prohibition ends, if the last question didn't cut that possibility out?
