Veene waking Jesse:

More like: Not waking Jesse. I think it’s more likely, by this point, that Veene just wouldn’t wake Jesse up. If Jesse were sleeping Veene is way more likely to just crawl into bed with him and sleep as well instead of waking him up. I think the only circumstances where he would wake Jesse up, if Jesse were sleeping, would be if it were Extremely Important. But when Jesse did wake, he’d give him a good morning and ask if he was hungry - he’d rather cook with Jesse than for Jesse unless Jesse didn’t feel like getting out of bed.

Veene waking E:

So, I’m fairly certain I know more about E than my brain is capable of remembering right now - but Veene doesn’t really know him. And I can’t really think of any circumstances under which Veene would need to wake E. Anything that would make Veene remotely interested in E (that are possible, as far as I can tell) would be Bad Things so even if Veene did know E I doubt he’d be waking him up, and if he was it might not be nicely. Or he might be ridiculously nice to E just to freak him out, but would never leave him alone. Who knows. I really can’t answer for this one, though.

Lye waking Jesse:

Same as usual - she’d jump on the bed, excitedly tell him to get up and greet the day, roll off the bed, fling the curtains open, bounce back on the bed and shove his shoulder. Then back flip out of the room.

Lye waking E:

Again, Lye doesn’t really know E, either. She just knows him as the grumpy dude who shows up on tumblr sometimes. So if she did have to wake him up she might be slightly more subdued about it and bring him a hot beverage of some kind and wake him up with a RISE AND SHINE GET OUT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED MISTER HERE DRINK THIS YOU’LL BE LESS GROUCHY.

THE ERASER PEOPLE:

So, I’m going to throw characters of mine at them based on what I know of them - who would more likely be hanging around who based on their occupations and attitudes in their canon. Just so you know and all.

Monty:

So I have Shei who is a paranormal investigator in her own universe, and female, so her occupation is CLOSE ENOUGH to what Monty does - and she’s a girl so if she worked and hung out with Monty they’d get a gold star from the government (yay).

Monty doesn’t really strike me as the kind of guy to be super charismatic - he doesn’t seem like he’d have a wide circle of friends, he seems (AND I MIGHT BE COMPLETELY WRONG I HAVE NOT BEEN THAT EXPOSED TO HIM) like that gruff-but-quiet kind of person who usually sort of wind up being under-looked and/or ignored by peers.

Shei tends to like partnering up with other quiet people, so maybe that could work, maybe it couldn’t. But let’s pretend it does. (Let’s also pretend Roxanne doesn’t exist for a few minutes here.)

If she were to wake him up she’d probably be swinging by his place to pick him up for work or to go in together, she’d have coffee or tea or hot chocolate or whatever beverage Monty likes. If Monty was still asleep (if her swinging by was normal she might have a key or something to make things simpler for them) she’d just sort of chill out for a few minutes (she tends to be early for the things she needs to do) and nurse her own drink, let her thoughts settle a bit. But would go to wake Monty up before his beverage got cold. If he didn’t wake up with a shake and an “Up and at ‘em.” she’d, jokingly, threaten to make him wear the drink she bought for him.

Evelyn:

I feel like anyone around Evelyn would have to be pretty young and rash themselves - maybe older, wiser characters come into her gang later but from the way it sounds it seems like, at the moment, her gang is basically unsatisfied, reckless youth. Or perhaps there are child-like adults in their ranks, who knows. And it feels like as long as you’re into the cause, reasonably trust-worthy and there when needed you’d probably fit in and make friends with the other members pretty quickly - but maybe I’m wrong on that, too. (By the by: I would absolutely love to read clarification on any of this stuff - on anything I guess or get wrong OR EVEN THE THINGS I GET RIGHT an expansion would be vunderful, please and thank you).

So. That said. I’m not sure who of my characters would potentially be able to mesh with her and her group. Arro came to mind first, but I’m not sure how well he’d fit with their ideals and how much patience he’d have for a bunch of petty crimes that didn’t amount to much. BUT I’LL GO WITH HIM ANYWAY.

He’d wake her up roughly. He’d sort’ve shove her and give her a curt “Get up.” He might have picked up on-the-go breakfast, like a doughnut or a sandwich or something and might toss that at her while he’s at if. If she doesn’t get up at that it’s HER PROBLEM. He’s WAITING FIVE MINUTES an then he’s OUGHTA THERE.

Elo:

I have the least sense of - it seems like he’s soft-spoken but quiet in that lack-of-presence way. Where you can easily forget he’s in a room but still has an eerie quality about him, something that marks him as different in a way you can almost feel, and yet still forgettable if you’re distracted. (Right, wrong? HMM?)

So. I reeeally, don’t know who could go with him. Nobody even really comes to mind.

Maybe Klett? But I’m not sure Klett would even wake him up. He’d just sit there and quietly watch him sleep, even if they had somewhere to be or somewhere to go Klett WOULDN’T BOTHER WAKING HIM UP.

Or maybe Faetal? Faetal would just touch up on him until he woke up, and regardless of their relationship (friends, acquaintances, near-strangers, whatever) Faetal might get a little excited and crawl on top of Elo and CONTINUE TOUCHING ON HIM until he woke up, and then he might apologize, and then ask if touching was all right, and that he meant to wake him up but you felt so nice and I got a little distracted. SHEEPISH SMILE.

Thanks for the ask! EVEN IF I AM COMPLETELY WRONG ABOUT THOSE CHARACTERS it was fun to think about.

Veene waking Nieve:

Unless specifically told to, he wouldn’t. He doesn’t know enough about Nieve or Corona or their culture to feel confident waking them up. Especially in Nieve’s case since he’s never really spoken with her. If he absolutely had to he’d do his call-out-from-a-reasonable-distance-slash-the-door and aura nudge her awake.

Veene waking Corona:

I honestly have no idea. None. It would depend on his mood and the circumstances and he might be fascinated enough by Corona sleeping to just… hang out, feel up on his aura, wonder what he’s dreaming. If he had to wake him up, I think Veene actually would touch him, do the standard “Corona, it’s time to get up.” and touch or lightly shake him - in part to see if Corona has any sort of reflexive SMASH THE PERSON WHO TOUCHES ME WHEN I’M SLEEPING problems or anything of similar ilk. He’s just GENERALLY CURIOUS about Corona so if presented with a new situation - like Corona sleeping and his having to wake him up, he’d take a moment to decide what he wanted to do and what would tell him more about Corona. So I can’t say, for absolute certain, what he actually would do.

Lye waking Corona:

Cheerfully flounces into the room, yells at him to get up. Giggles to herself and says things about little red riding hood. YOU’RE JUST LIKE THE WOLF WHO ATE GRANDMA CORONA! ALL TUCKED INTO BED LIKE THIS. WITH YOUR BIG EYES AND YOUR TEETH AND YOUR CLAWS. She’d be so amused. Then she’d stop and stare at him and go WAIT DO YOU KNOW LITTLE RED RIDING-HOOD? YOU ARE AN ALIEN.

Lye waking Nieve:

I’m not even sure Lye is really aware Nieve exists. She’d probably just go in, say a bunch of normal wake-up things, shake her a little, maaaaybe throw off the covers, and then skedaddle.

If Qatu were asleep and Veene walked in and Veene didn’t have to wake him up for anything important he’d go and cook first. Probably something spicy or something drenched in messy spicy sauce. He’d eat a bit of it, get it on his hands and face enough to be noticeable. Then snuggle in next to Qatu (hiding the remaining food behind him or something), aura-nudge him awake and pretend he didn’t and be all “Oh! You’re finally awake, good morning. I made breakfast but I didn’t want it getting cold so I ate it myself while I was waiting. Shame, too, it was your favourite - you could always lick the remaining sauce off of me.” just to be a massive tease. IF Qatu did actually try to lick the sauce off of him Veene would LAUGH AND GIVE UP THE FOOD but if he didn’t Veene would EVENTUALLY give up the food anyway, repeat his good morning properly and lick off his fingers and lips. (THOUGH this is only really good for one use, but if he ever does this he’ll come up with something equally stupid next time.)

If he had to get Qatu up for something he’d just kiss his face and tell him to wake up, and give him a good morning once he did and tell him WHY HE IS BEING AWOKEN.

If they were sleeping together Veene wouldn’t wake up before him, unless Veene just hadn’t slept (which is possible) but in that case he’d just let Qatu rest and enjoy the snuggling.

Lye waking Levi:

It depends, if they were cuddling and had been sleeping together she wouldn’t bother. If she barged into his house and found him sleeping (and they had plans) she might tickle his ears and muss up his hair and then flop his hands and arms around to get him to wake up. If she barged in and they didn’t have plans she’d chill out nearby and read (or, if Patrice is functioning, mess around with her) until Levi woke up.

Leiko wakes Levi:

I’m not sure. After being shot in the foot she might be slightly vicious toward Levi. She might create a potentially lethal obstacle course in his house. Or, more likely, and this is only if Patrice was functional again, she’d mess with Patrice until she had the ability to remotely access her, and then she’d control her. Not necessarily to wake Levi up but to observe and make his life generally suck while she figures out what she /actually/ wants to do with him. Of course she’d mess with Patrice only once Levi was asleep. She might use Patrice to wake him up by dumping water on him or something.

Veene waking Levi:

The only times I see Veene waking Levi is if he had to, in which case he’d tell him to get up. If Levi failed to wake up from Veene’s voice he’d probably just aura-nudge him awake, he wouldn’t really bother dealing with him.

Veene waking Enyon:

Again, circumstances depending, he hasn’t seen Enyon in some time though. If he found her sleeping chances are he’d just let her sleep until she woke on her own - he wouldn’t know how much sleep she has been getting lately but he knew back in Resting Grounds she was paranoid to the point of refusing to sleep and then sleeping poorly, so he wouldn’t want to disturb her. He might cook something for her while he waited (he would assume she hadn’t learned how to cook very well in the meantime, either) but wouldn’t bring it into the room or anything, because if she woke up and startled and then flung things everywhere as a result it would be a WASTE OF GOOD FOOD.

Then they’d have catching up to do.

Veene waking Darcy:

At the moment he would need a reason to wake Darcy - like someone needing him and Veene was sent to fetch Darcy or something. He wouldn’t really go into Darcy’s room, he’d stay at the door, tell him to get up and prod his aura into consciousness, and then tell him what was going on.

Lye waking Darcy:

Lye would jump on the bed, tell him to get up, maybe try and roll him off the bed. If all else failed she’d try tickling him.

Neil waking Ve:

WOULD NEVER HAPPEN! He’s pretty timid and would wake for her to get up on her own. He’d either get up to use the washroom and/or harass her brothers or father, or he’d just sort’ve lay there cuddling with her until she woke up.

Neil waking Ilrosos:

Hm. I have no idea what reason Neil would have have for waking Ilrosos - so that makes it kind of difficult. While he would be interested in what Ilrosos would and could do to him and all that jazz I can’t see him ever going out of his way to wake Ilrosos up unless instructed to. And if he were instructed to he might open the door, hover nervously, call out to Ilrosos to wake up, and if that didn’t work he’d walk into the room and shake his shoulder a little.

Leiko waking Darcy:

She’d be in the neighbourhood, figured she’d check out Darcy’s new place (which of course she knows the address of and keeps tabs on). Only she’d get in the house and find Darcy sleeping. Then she would take one of two courses of action.

The first would be to rig Darcy’s room, and house (if she had time to go beyond his room) up with booby-traps and pranks. Then she’d just leave him to wake up and sort through the mess and embarrassment. She’d probably see if she could dye Darcy’s silver hair pink while she was at it and replace his wardrobe with skirts, dresses and girly halter tops.

OR. She would dress herself up in some nice lingerie (so it might come down to what she’s wearing, herself, under her clothes since she probably wouldn’t find anything that would fit her in Darcy’s humble abode). Carefully creep onto Darcy’s bed, then, just as carefully, equip him with a male chastity belt, then she’d straddle him, touch his chest and face and hair and whisper things to him until he woke up. Once he did, she’d smile at him, tell him she got him a present, and then move to REVEAL THE CHASTITY DEVICE. Then she’d cackle, tell him the key was hidden in the house, and fly out a window.

True story.

Leiko waking Akemi:

BURGER BUDDY. She’d buy a bunch of burgers from the closest fast-food joint, arrange them around Akemi, and then sound a fog horn to get him up. Then she’d punch him in the shoulder and tell him he better scarf down these burgers, quick, otherwise she’s never going to see him again, ever.

Torrin waking Darcy:

HE’D JUST SIT THERE AND STARE AT DARCY. He’d sit there and stare and stare and stare and then when Darcy woke up he’d freeze up and keep staring and not know what to do because what if Darcy rejected him again.

Torrin waking Enyon:

He’d stare at her for a bit. Then he’d poke her lightly and tell her to get up. If that didn’t work he’d give up. Hey, he tried.

I READ THAT AT FIRST AS QATU HAVING A POLE… AS AN ARM. AND I WAS LIKE “where in the world did you get the idea that Veene would find that hot?” but then I was like “Oh.” Pole arms. Right.

(This would not fluster Veene but he would enjoy it.)

I’m pretty sure most of them know how to swim - even if it’s just the basics. I honestly don’t really see what the point of listing all of them and saying whether or not they can swim would be.

Beyond Veene’s general fear-of-everything when he’s mortal I don’t think anyone really has a fear of water, either.

He doesn’t have one, or even several, or many favourite ways of passing the time.

Lye would be frustrated and probably more upset than she should be. She’d be frustrated that Levi refused her (well, Veene’s) help, and as a consequence was robbed from THE WORLD so early. And she’d be extremely upset not just because she cares for Levi, but because death of a loved one is sort of something she has never had to deal with. She knows things die, but she’s never been emotionally and intellectually close to anyone mortal - so in that Levi’s a first for her it would probably hit that much harder. She does get worked up about his sickness as is, but when he’s not coughing up her lungs it’s usually pretty easy for her to push it aside, because she’s used to people who don’t just die.

She’d probably, to outsiders, seem a lot more mellowed out, though. When Veene disappeared and she was afraid he had died she was able to remain active, she was nearly hysterical with worry but she didn’t really have to completely focus on it and take in the idea, there was stuff to do and they hadn’t proved it yet, so she was still pretty excitable. But if Levi was gone gone for sure she’d probably slow down, chill out.

She might blame herself for it, too, that she didn’t push hard enough for him to get healed, or just asked Veene to do it anyway even though Levi said no. She might even try to find a way to bring him back to life.

Veene isn’t touched much by death unless that person was close to him. Levi is not close to him, so I can’t say Levi’s death would affect him terribly. He wouldn’t be happy that Levi was gone or anything, and it’s not quite that he doesn’t care, just he wouldn’t really dwell on it. He’d think it unfortunate but wouldn’t mope in it, like he’d ‘get over it’ pretty much as soon as he heard about it.

Veene and death are kind of complicated but that works for Levi.
