Haven't done this for a while ....
Let's play a little game called Get to Know your Neighbours!

Under the cut is a series of questions. If you can answer them for each of your pups then we'll know them better and we might see ways of linking plots and stories to make MM even more OMG cool! than it is already.

This is all meta! None of the pups will know another pup's secrets unless you put a star - like * - beside it to show that it's game canon, or unless your pup subsequently tells other pups about it.

Age: [roughly]
Birthday:
What brought you to the City:

Would you do it again if you could?

Name: Dietrich Sands. Please call me Ricky!!
Age: [roughly] turning 30 on midsummer! Totally have to throw a big party with lots of booze and loud music. Wonder who I can get to play there as a favour...
Birthday: June 21st 1979

What brought you to the City: I wasn't born far away, actually, and moved into the City when I started college.

Favourite Book/Film/Music etc: Music is my business, and I don't have a favourite there: too much new to discover all the time. The best band in a long time is Claws And Swords, whom we signed only a very short while back. Film: changes as well. I really like 'A Good Year' at the moment. It's a drop out, feel good movie by Ridley Scott (!!!!) with Russell Crowe (!!!!) in it, and I could watch it just over and over. 'Big Lebowski' and 'Woodstock' are perennial favourites, but that goes without saying. Books? I guess I am conservative there. Good old Tolkien, good old Hermann Hesse.

First proper relationship: I had a girlfriend in high school, her name was Gina, and she was a bit uptight. Very normal. She was shocked by my folks.

Why did it end?: My mom walked in on us, accidentally, and was of course completely okay with it, and said sorry and all; but Gina decided she was so embarrassed she couldn't face her, me, or anyone ever again.

Place of birth? A ranch used as an alternative 'cooperative farm', a few miles west of the City. Yep, real hippies and eco freaks!

Why aren't you still there?: Nah, I want my own life, friends, music, clubs, girls that don't need the new age feminist talking-to from my mom first thing. Also, it's half an hour's drive one way, not something I want when the after-gig parties wind down at four.

Current relationship: **yooowwwwwl** None!!

If not in one/unhappy in one, what are you looking for? For a sensible, independent woman with a sense of humour, her own opinion on things, and an interest in music. Doesn't have to like the same things as I do, main thing, she cares. Lara Follett is with that major douchebag, and Andy has that mysterious composer of hers, or either would be perfect. Why didn't the Great Goddess make a daughter a bit like them, just for me? I'd sacrifice a kidney, or one ball, for such a woman!

Most embarrassing experience? I was taking a crap when the portapotty got hauled away. Was at a festival a few years ago. I shouted and banged the door, which popped open, and there were about two dozen roadies, and they totally all pissed themselves laughing. I was on the crapper, on a chain hooked to a mobile crane, hanging twenty feet up in the air!!

Most terrifying experience? Marlene, Tebby and I got jumped in the woods by the redneck jocks from high school who parents really, really disapproved of ours! We really thought these goons were going to go seriously Deliverance on us for a while there. Especially after Marlene kicked one in the groin. That guy doesn't have any kids to this day, my mom says, and is already on his third wife. Go Marlene! But we were all shocked shitless, back then.

Experience of which you're most ashamed? One of my girlfriends got pregnant, at college; I helped her get rid of it, stood by her all through the nasty part and so on. Afterwards, though, she kept bawling all the time and told people I made her do it. I swear I didn't! But of course I dumped her post-haste, she dropped out, and there was Drama. I was almost kicked out as well.

What would you do to avoid experiencing them again? Always use a condom, duh!! And never promise a woman stuff just to get in her knickers. That's real easy!

What have you done that made you really really PROUD of yourself? We rescued Marlene from this cult she'd got involved with, me and four others from our farm. She'd got out a message that these seemingly cool dudes were all crazy and believed in UFOs and wouldn't let her or the other girls leave, and we snuck on their grounds at night, broke in, found her, and got them all out. Oh, and we trashed their UFO they were making ready for the Millennium; that was in 1999. Nobody drank no more Kool Aid at that place!

Would you do it again if you could? Of course! Rescue some girls and trash some phony UFO? Fun being a hero, that way!

If you were given a voucher to buy/obtain one thing you REALLY want, guilt free and with no comebacks, what would it be? One date with a woman that really, really fits me like a hand in a glove, so I can convince her I fit her just the same way. Just one date is all it takes, if we click right! I can handle the rest.

If I showed you a button to press that would kill one person, guilt free and no comebacks, who would it be? Can I take a rain check on that? Year or two ago, I'd have said George W., but at the moment, I don't feel a great urge to kill anybody.

If the Manor was on fire and there were no pets/people you needed to save, what would you grab as you ran out? I guess some of my vinyl records. I'm not really attached to things. I might even grab a potted plant from the lobby on the way out.

Tell us muns a secret that our pups will never know: I killed a dog once. Nasty attack dog thingger belonging to that gangsta wannabe who was giving us trouble after a gig, together with a whole bunch of other pseudo-Eminems. When that beast jumped at me, I managed to get a foot on its spine, didn't know what to do, grabbed its ears, and sort of jerked. I got lucky and was standing on a dead dog. The little suburbian gangstas totally scrambled in fear, which was good, because I felt abysmally sorry for the poor thing that must have been terribly mistreated by its owner, and bawled the rest of the night, which wouldn't have been so fear-inspiring to these kids.

Name: Andras Toth
Age: [roughly] 36 (barely still)
Birthday: June 24th

What brought you to the City: Temporary assignment for taking pictures of Pangolin Tower as it was being built

Favourite Book/Film/Music etc: 'Fifth Elephant' by Terry Pratchett, 'Priscilla Queen Of The Desert', and the Berlin album by Rufus Wainwright, what's it called, 'Release The Stars'?

First proper relationship: Eamon!

Why did it end?: M-things won over me. Nuff said. It still hurts.

Place of birth? London.

Why aren't you still there?: Because I came here for that assignment, found more jobs, met Erik, was hooked by the place, met Eamon...

Current relationship: None!

If not in one/unhappy in one, what are you looking for? A gay bloke who's fun to be with. I'll know him when I see him, I guess.

Most embarrassing experience? I'm not easily embarrassed. There's stories to tell about getting caught blowing some bloke by about half a dozen magazine executives who were paying us good money to be there and take pictures, not have blow-jobs; but that blew over, and so did the rest of these things. Heh!

Most terrifying experience? Finding the m-thing in the basement, of course!

Experience of which you're most ashamed? My first time I guess. I was 13, he was 19 and my chemistry tutor. It was totally my doing from beginning to end, and as far as I can tell, I can be fucking glad he didn't kill himself with remorse for having bonked what he thought was a kid. And I don't mean that metaphorically. I mean real suicide. I totally broke that bloke.

What would you do to avoid experiencing them again? I grew up; the question didn't arise again.

What have you done that made you really really PROUD of yourself? Stand by Eamon when he was slowly coming back from crazy.

Would you do it again if you could? Hell, yes!

If you were given a voucher to buy/obtain one thing you REALLY want, guilt free and with no comebacks, what would it be? Call me silly or romantic, but I'd like a cottage. Just a little one, with a fireplace, where I could snuggle with a bloke if I had one, and bonk slowly and lovingly. Where I can be sure no ghosts are doing the invisible, inaudible peanut gallery thing on us.

If I showed you a button to press that would kill one person, guilt free and no comebacks, who would it be? Ruprecht, the Chief of Maintenance here. I know it's childish to want to kill the head janitor; sounds like a schoolboy fantasy. But really. That bloke is totally evil! I know, in my gut, trust me. Ruprecht it is: - dead!!! Would be good news all around.

If the Manor was on fire and there were no pets/people you needed to save, what would you grab as you ran out? My files are all backed up on an off-site server by now; I know the Manor sometimes plays nasty tricks. So, I thought I must protect against freak EMPs being lobbed around at random? And all electronics are a) replaceable and b) insured. I guess I'd grab that lovely rococo mirror by the ballroom. I'm tall enough to carry it by myself. Ghosts aren't pets or people, right?

Tell us muns a secret that our pups will never know: I would have done anything to get into Erik's bed. Any fucking thing. Pity it never happened, and never will now. Sometimes, I'm furiously jealous of Andy and him both, because (second secret free with the first!) Andy is about the only woman in the multiverse I could imagine being more than friends with. And these two ending up with each other? I was festering with totally secret jealousy inside, for months, and still am a bit.

Name: Joseph McClaren
Age: [roughly] 45
Birthday: 9th October 1963
What brought you to the City: Work more or less.
Favourite Book/Film/Music etc: Favorite book? Not sure if it’s really my “favorite” but I have enjoyed The Devine Comedy a few times. I don’t really have a favorite film, but I do have quite the extensive collection that contains a little bit of everything from some classic black and white silents to the last Transformers film. I don’t really listen to music that much, but I feel the need classical is usually what I turn to. Or perhaps on the blues on even rarer occasions.
First proper relationship: My ex-wife.
Why did it end?: She didn’t like the secrets. Those things I kept locked up inside over fear of what she would say and do if she really knew. I guess you could say we were “distant.”
Place of birth?: Maine
Why aren't you still there?: After the fire, social services/foster home bounced me all over the country pretty much. I lived in Vegas the longest before moving to the Manor though.
Current relationship: None.
If not in one/unhappy in one, what are you looking for: Not really looking for one thanks just the same. So my answer to this is: none. I’ve accepted my “alone” status and am, more or less, okay with it. No need to go be rockin’ the boat now.
Most embarrassing experience?: The day I finally accepted that Lil wasn’t coming back and realized that deep down I’d known that all along really, but had been too stupid, or too naïve or both to just let her go.
Most terrifying experience?: After that first “odd” week, when everything was displaced and I couldn’t really remember where I’d gone or what I’d done? And for that I got to spent the following week-week and a half replaying all the things that I had thought had happened over and over in my mind. I was pretty sure I had gone insane.
Experience of which you're most ashamed?: I once dealt serious injury to a homeless man after a binge a bar. I was drunk and wasn’t paying attention and lost control. Again. Thus, is the reason why I don’t drink. If I don’t drink, I don’t have to worry about it.
What would you do to avoid experiencing them again?: I pretty much do that already. Finally, after falling for the same mistake twice, I’ve learned that if I avoid people in general, and stay of the radar, I can avoid all that nonsense.
What have you done that made you really really PROUD of yourself?: I suppose I’m proud of my work. I have made it quite far up the occupational ladder. And I did it by surviving years of dealing with fire, and those that set them, directly and I like to think that I’ve done with it with as little compromise as possible (Adam and Eris’ shenanigans not withstanding).
Would you do it again if you could?: Yes, I’m happy with my body of work.
If you were given a voucher to buy/obtain one thing you REALLY want, guilt free and with no comebacks, what would it be?: A way to get rid of the fire would mean a life without constant fear or worry, a chance to relax in a way I’ve never really done before.
If I showed you a button to press that would kill one person, guilt free and no comebacks, who would it be?: I dislikes many people, but I don’t really have any that are that far up on the dislike scale to make me want to kill them.. Comes with the “don’t get involved, don’t interact, don’t get attached” mantra I’m working on.
If the Manor was on fire and there were no pets/people you needed to save, what would you grab as you ran out?: A scrapbook/photo album type thing that has a few scorned and battered mementos of my (and Adam’s) parents.
Tell us muns a secret that our pups will never know: I secretly kind of wish…that Lil would come back. Not for any soft or loving reason, I has no dreams of reconciliation, but because I’d like the chance say to her all the things I’ve really felt and thought over the past few months. Make her hurt, if even momentarily, the way I did.

Name: Estrella Gonzalez. But most just call me Jazz.
Age: [roughly] 26
Birthday: 21st December
What brought you to the City: Oh geeze, what long story that is. To spare you, let’s just leave it at I needed a place to go and I had heard, through the grapevine, that Morningstar Manor was better than most when you needed to lie low for awhile.
Favourite Book/Film/Music etc: Who has time for this stuff? I don’t, or didn’t. Ask me again later about the book and film bit. As for the music? If you can dance to it, I’ll probably like it.
First proper relationship: What’s a “proper” relationship exactly? Waking up the morning after and not wanting to die from embarrassment/pretend it never happened/find your clothes and slip out before they wake up? If so, then yeah, probably Jason. As much as it pains me to say.
Why did it end?: Ask the maids. Their explanations are far more entertaining than mine.
Place of birth? Somewhere in Mexico.
Why aren't you still there?: Another long, sad tale I won’t bore you with.
Current relationship: Ha, yeah sure. Let’s not go there, shall we?
If not in one/unhappy in one, what are you looking for? Someone…who will let me be me. They’ll need a strong personality I guess. Someone, I won’t overwhelm. Someone I can fight and argue with…and get the cuddles from afterward. Yeah, that’d be nice.
Most embarrassing experience?: Got stuck in a heating duct once. I’d been hiding there for several hours and some bits had gone numb and so when I tried to move I, well, couldn’t.
Most terrifying experience?: Probably, okay definitely, when I got that letter and those photos of Cleo in the mail. It turned out okay in the end, but for a few weeks I was sure that was the end.
Experience of which you're most ashamed?: Let’s see, that whole sleeping with Avery and then having my best friend return my panties to me when he gave them to her experience is pretty up there on the list. Could really do without going through that again.

(Reply to this) (Thread)


[info]pups_dt
2009-05-23 08:28 am UTC (link)
What would you do to avoid experiencing them again?: You live and you learn. I don’t play in ducts anymore, or at the very least remember to take stretch breaks, I haven’t done anything outrageously illegal in quite a long time if I say so myself, and I’m doing my best to avoid Avery. He can’t get the best of me again if I never see him.
What have you done that made you really really PROUD of yourself?: Recently? Sitting through that marathon interview at Micheal’s Bros. It wasn’t something I’d ever thought I’d be doing, but there I was. I did it. I survived. And believe it or not, I’m excited to hear how it went. In general though, I’d have to say I’m pretty proud of Cleo. I may not have always been right there for her, but I think I did the best I could ensure that she was safe and warm and would have more, better chances to see her dreams through.
Would you do it again if you could?: In a heartbeat. Either one.
If you were given a voucher to buy/obtain one thing you REALLY want, guilt free and with no comebacks, what would it be?: A chance to go back, rethink what I did with Avery and to not do it (or at the very, very least stop to get my underwear first) would be…pretty fabulous I think. Would certainly go a long way to making my days little less stressful.
If I showed you a button to press that would kill one person, guilt free and no comebacks, who would it be?: Let me check my list…oh yes, that probably would be Joy. Si, I may have gotten used to the taste of spit/pepper/salt/whatever else in my coffee, but it would be nice to have the real, untainted, stuff every now and again. Also, would mean I could stop worrying about whether or not I should get a taste tester in case she ever decides to beat me to the punch puts something worse than salt in my coffee. Honestly, yeah, I don’t think I’d miss her to awful much.
If the Manor was on fire and there were no pets/people you needed to save, what would you grab as you ran out?: I try not to get too attached to things (if being a thief taught me one thing it was that) but there are some book boxes in my bedroom that contain some things I wouldn’t mind keeping.
Tell us muns a secret that our pups will never know: I dream about my mother. More often than you’d think and it’s usually the same dream. It doesn’t make me cry anymore, I guess I’ve gotten more or less used to it, but it’s still…unpleasant.

2009-05-23 11:15 am UTC (link)
Name: Chandika Malhotra
Age: [roughly] 32
Birthday: October 12th

What brought you to the City: My husband had found this brilliant job here in the City, of course I went with him!

Favourite Book/Film/Music etc: Everybody expects me to answer with something Bollywood now, right? Sorry, people. My favourite movie is 'Emma' with Gwynneth Paltrow, and my favourite song is 'My Funny Valentine' which lots of people have sung. And call my silly, but I really like the 'Inkworld' books which I've read to Rahul. They may be kids' books, but they're really much deeper.

First proper relationship: With my husband, Arjun

Why did it end?: He turned our to be a serial cheater.

Place of birth? Aurangabad, India

Why aren't you still there?: Because I followed my husband to the States when he found a job here. And I'm not going back, because honestly? Life is much better here. And Rahul was born here, is a citizen, and so even though Arjun threatened me over the divorce thing, I can't be deported. So there!

Current relationship: None

If not in one/unhappy in one, what are you looking for? Oh nothing, please! I am really happy living with Bethan and Rahul and the dogs; it's like a permanent holiday, or girls playing house, only everything is real.

Most embarrassing experience? When I was in College and we drank our way through the Kingfisher beer, Anjali and I, and then there were these boys -- oh no, I don't want to think about it! They hung up pictures on the noticeboard, too. I'm never going to ever wear one of those things again!!

Most terrifying experience? On a journey with my family when I was still a kid, we found the remains of a woman that had been eaten (mostly) by a tiger. I had nightmares for months, and didn't want to be out in the country by myself for years because I was afraid of being eaten, too.

Experience of which you're most ashamed? I've been a doormat. I smiling, blinkered, ridiculous doormat, for years, about my husband. It make me very ashamed now.

What would you do to avoid experiencing them again? I guess I'm simply not marrying again.

What have you done that made you really really PROUD of yourself? Finally put down my foot and thrown out Arjun. Rahul doesn't need to grow up in that kind of home.

Would you do it again if you could? In a jiffy!

If you were given a voucher to buy/obtain one thing you REALLY want, guilt free and with no comebacks, what would it be? One of those cute little Smart cars. Of course, Bethan has a car and we do our shopping at the big supermarkets together and all, but it would just be fun to go places on my own, spontaneously, without asking anybody. And it would have to be some funny, silly colour.

If I showed you a button to press that would kill one person, guilt free and no comebacks, who would it be? Killing is wrong! I wouldn't!

If the Manor was on fire and there were no pets/people you needed to save, what would you grab as you ran out? Rahul's favourite toy of the moment, of course!

Tell us muns a secret that our pups will never know: That sex thing is overrated. I never got that great big scream-out-loud sort of seizure they get in movies and talk about in magazines. It sometimes tickles nicely, that is all. As a good dutiful wife, I always told Arjun I liked it, of course. I guess I really wouldn't mind if it didn't happen again. Not much to miss there.

Name: Adam McClaren
Age: [roughly] 38
Birthday: 9th January
What brought you to the City: Work was the excuse, but I knew Joe was here. I came to find him.
Favourite Book/Film/Music etc: Favorite movie is Baseketball, and I’m a big fan of ACDC when it comes to music.
First proper relationship: Well, I’m not sure I’d call it a relationship exactly, but I did care for Eris quite a bit. I might dare to even use the L-word.
Why did it end?: She had her thing, I had mine.
Place of birth?: Maine.
Why aren't you still there?: Well, after the fire I figured there really wasn’t much point. Even a baby knows when to move on to greener pastures.
Current relationship: Icene Callan.
If not in one/unhappy in one, what are you looking for?:
Most embarrassing experience?: The was an incident involving a rather terrified adolescent raccoon back in my cadet days. There’s one prank that’ll never get pulled again…ended up with a rodent in my sock drawer for two days before Animal Control could come get it.
Most terrifying experience?: Halloween night, oh, year before last now, down in the basement with Lil and Joe and Icene, looking for Eris and thinking we’d never find her. Or find her too late.
Experience of which you're most ashamed?: It took me years to find out about Joe, and then longer still to find him. I regret not having those years with him. And I regret not being there for him.
What would you do to avoid experiencing them again?: No real avoiding to the Manor. It decides to make you it’s bitch, that’s what gonna happen. As for the others, a big-ass mouse trap and making sure I find time to spend with Joe with as often as possible.
What have you done that made you really really PROUD of yourself?: Making Captain. I felt like I’d been a Lieutenant forever and what’s more, Dad ended his career as a CWO5. I know he was proud.
Would you do it again if you could? Dude, I’m trying to do it again. But as I was just promoted to Major recently, that Lieutenant Colonel promotion is probably 15-20 years off unless Lady Luck decides to really smile on me.
If you were given a voucher to buy/obtain one thing you REALLY want, guilt free and with no comebacks, what would it be? I love my country, and am proud to serve it, but if I could not go overseas, well, that’d be fine by me.
If I showed you a button to press that would kill one person, guilt free and no comebacks, who would it be? I don’t know about killing him, but I would love to punch Bill O’Reily right in his goddamn face. That man needs to shut his fucking pie-hole.
If the Manor was on fire and there were no pets/people you needed to save, what would you grab as you ran out? Selma! She’s my baby.
Tell us muns a secret that our pups will never know: I stop by Joe’s apartment every few days, just to check. Just to…make sure, ya know? I worry.

First proper relationship: Several short term ones, but the first? Derek Barnsworth, he was three years older, and um, to be honest? Not worth the effort of remembering.

Experience of which you're most ashamed? Ever dating Tristan

What have you done that made you really really PROUD of yourself? Set up Oakdale, and now Beechurst. The two children's homes back in the UK that help orphaned and troubled teenagers, including pregnant ones.

Would you do it again if you could? Absolutely. But maybe in America next time.

If you were given a voucher to buy/obtain one thing you REALLY want, guilt free and with no comebacks, what would it be? another baby? A sister, maybe, for Gavin.

If I showed you a button to press that would kill one person, guilt free and no comebacks, who would it be? nobody I want killed... so er, no-one?

If the Manor was on fire and there were no pets/people you needed to save, what would you grab as you ran out? My parents ashes and the knife, and our wedding photo album.

Tell us muns a secret that our pups will never know: I don't know that I have any, Alec knows everything I think.... Unless it's that I was thinking I might try for another baby later in the year?

Would you do it again if you could? Oh god no!!! Not high school again!!!!! NOOOOOOO
If you were given a voucher to buy/obtain one thing you REALLY want, guilt free and with no comebacks, what would it be? My mother, please, just let me have her back healthy?
If I showed you a button to press that would kill one person, guilt free and no comebacks, who would it be? No idea. Why would I want anyone dead?
If the Manor was on fire and there were no pets/people you needed to save, what would you grab as you ran out? Sketchbook and pencils
Tell us muns a secret that our pups will never know: I wasn't sure when I found him that my Dad was dead, but I didn't pick up the phone until I was sure it had been at least ten minutes. He never even knew I was around after Mum died, I didn't really want him around either. I wasn't sure what I was doing though, think I was in shock.

If not in one/unhappy in one, what are you looking for? I found it, let you know if that changes.
Most embarrassing experience? Arguing with Eris over Adam, that was childish!

Name: Charlie Shaw [aka Henry Charles Fanshawe]
Age: [roughly] 30
Birthday: 25th August 1978
What brought you to the City: I wanted somewhere to hide
Favourite Book/Film/Music etc: Book - Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graeme, specifically the chapter The Piper At The Gates of Dawn because I know it's true. Film - got lots - Bladerunner, The Crow, The [original] Italian Job, anything with Errol Flynn or Douglas Fairbanks or Burt Lancaster or Cary Grant. Music - again lots. If you like you can listen to my favourite play list. I can listen to D play all day though.
First proper relationship: Gerry Barton. He was ex-Guards, old money, new attitudes and 20 years older than me. I led him a dance and worshipped the ground he walked on.
Why did it end?: Gerry died
Place of birth? London
Why aren't you still there?: Lots of reasons, primarily my sister died so I went to live with Grandma and Grandpa between Monmouth and Gloucester. Then Gerry died so I moved to the states. Fresh start.
Current relationship: Deacon. I worship the ground that he walks on too.
If not in one/unhappy in one, what are you looking for? N/A
Most embarrassing experience? Having to listen to Josh Ferguson tell his wife that I was a nervous basket case who had been stalking him for months, when if she'd arrived half an hour earlier she'd have caught him teaching me how to give blow jobs just the way he liked them.
Most terrifying experience? When Gavin went out and left me tied for 36 hours and I knew he'd be back.
Experience of which you're most ashamed? Getting out of the bath and leaving Ted to look after Tildy
What would you do to avoid experiencing them again? I'd rather die
What have you done that made you really really PROUD of yourself?Having the guts to steal his phone and call Joanie and Andy to come and get me. I wish - really wish - that I could say something to do with my art but each time I think I'm getting somewhere I get knocked back again. And the thing with the phone took so much guts!
Would you do it again if you could? Not going to need to.
If you were given a voucher to buy/obtain one thing you REALLY want, guilt free and with no comebacks, what would it be? To have fulfilled the potential I was showing just before Gerry died. I could have done it then. Now - I dunno. I hink I might be better at helping other people live their dreams.
If I showed you a button to press that would kill one person, guilt free and no comebacks, who would it be? He's dead
If the Manor was on fire and there were no pets/people you needed to save, what would you grab as you ran out? The painting of Gerry and me. Not just because it's of Gerry, and no disrespect to Deacon, but because it represents a time when I thought I could do ANYTHING. That was a wonderful feeling.
Tell us muns a secret that our pups will never know: When I was 4 my brother murdered my baby sister. There were bubbles and I was covered in them and he told me to go and show Mummy and make her laugh, so I did. Then he held Tildy under the water and told Mum and Dad that I had done it. Ted was 8 then and has been getting away with murder ever since.

Name: Erin Michelle Cohan
Age: [roughly] 29
Birthday: September 11, 1980
What brought you to the City: working with Ladder 9
Favorite Book/Film/Music etc:
Favorite book: Salem's Lot and the Gunslinger series by Stephen King
Favorite movie: Meet The Robinsons, though I still like Frequency and will watch it at any given time.
Favorite song: Knocking On Heaven's Door - Guns N Roses
First proper relationship: actual relationship... wow. I dated a couple guys in high school. Went to my junior and senior prom with a guy named Zach. He was a lot of firsts for me and after that I haven't really had much of a steady boyfriend. I date guys, I sleep with some of them, spent weeks with them during spring break from college, but never moved in with anybody.
Why did it end?: We went to different colleges.
Place of birth? Minot, North Dakota, USA
Why aren't you still there?: The military job my father had said we should move more often.
Current relationship: Single, not specifically dating anybody.
If not in one/unhappy in one, what are you looking for? Somebody that will accept me in all my quirkiness, not try to change my shameless flirting or my impulsive behavior. Would it be so much to ask for somebody I have things in common with and can be myself around?
Most embarrassing experience? Finding out on our senior trip that my brother had been secretly sleeping with one of my best friends, entirely behind my back. Maybe that isn't embarrassing. Being referred to as Einstein when people learned my initials are EMC.
Most terrifying experience? The first fire call I responded to that had children. Seeing absolute terror and panic in a lady over her kids is a real eye opener.
Experience of which you're most ashamed? I don't think there's anything I'm particularly ashamed of, since every experience I have led me to be the person I am now. I feel like I got made a fool once or twice, but those were learning experiences and I think I've learned to not throw myself at a guy that has no interest in me whatsoever.
What would you do to avoid experiencing them again? Not throw myself at a guy that has no interest
What have you done that made you really really PROUD of yourself? Graduation from high school, then graduation from Austin Peay, and acing the firefighter's testing when I got here.
Would you do it again if you could? without a second thought I surely would.
If you were given a voucher to buy/obtain one thing you REALLY want, guilt free and with no comebacks, what would it be? One of those transporter thingys that they have in Star Trek, but it has to actually work right.
If I showed you a button to press that would kill one person, guilt free and no comebacks, who would it be? There isn't anybody that I would directly kill... No wait, come to think of it... Susan. My brother's ex girlfriend. The world wouldn't miss one more prostitute/druggie/bad parent and Mikey and Drew would be much better off without her dragging them down.
If the Manor was on fire and there were no pets/people you needed to save, what would you grab as you ran out? The black box from under my bed. Lots of secrets in there and lots of fun memories too...
Tell us muns a secret that our pups will never know: I think my Gran is such a hopeless romantic for trying to set me up and see me settle down before anything happens to her. It isn't as troublesome as I made it out to be, and I've actually called a couple people she had chosen in that packet. I just don't want to be pressured into settling for something I don't really want because it is what is expected of me.

Name: Roxanne Noel Jacobs, Roxy to everybody now
Age: [roughly] 25
Birthday: July 4, 1984
What brought you to the City: My own two feet... After getting a letter of acceptance from Rutherford, and then finding a set of keys with the will.
Favorite Book/Film/Music etc:
Book: Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger
Movie: Fight Club
Song: Bodies by Drowning Pool (even though now her ipod is a variable mix of everything including classical)
First proper relationship: Roxy didn't have any interest in boys through high school and met Bruce on a summer vacation, visiting her sister. I thought the world of him and after the three months break he asked me to stay. He'd asked me to live with him, and by the same token give up on my college and working towards the degree I wanted. As hard as it was to leave, I did.
Why did it end?: I needed to finish what I set out to do.
Place of birth? Florida
Why aren't you still there?: School, among other reasons.
Current relationship: Engaged to Spencer Michaels (and oh my gosh wedding planning is such a nightmare!)
If not in one/unhappy in one, what are you looking for? I'm happy in one and I don't think I could ask for anything more.
Most embarrassing experience? Finding out I was adopted, then meeting my biological parents.
Most terrifying experience? Knocking on the door to that run down trailer in a scummy section of Florida. I was so scared to be there and wanted so much to hear that I was wrong... That this is not where I came from and that these people were not my parents.
Experience of which you're most ashamed? Meeting my biological parents and finding out they were everything I was warned about.
What would you do to avoid experiencing them again? Never step foot in that place again. Ever. For any reason.
What have you done that made you really really PROUD of yourself? A couple things... Graduations mostly, from high school and then having my degree from Rutherford.
Would you do it again if you could? In a heartbeat.
If you were given a voucher to buy/obtain one thing you REALLY want, guilt free and with no comebacks, what would it be? My parents back. Especially right now because I know they'd definitely be wanting to help with the plannings.
If I showed you a button to press that would kill one person, guilt free and no comebacks, who would it be? Can I just have a reversal button and swap my biological parents for my adoptive parents? Wow this turned around to a survey on my feelings toward parents.
If the Manor was on fire and there were no pets/people you needed to save, what would you grab as you ran out? photos.
Tell us muns a secret that our pups will never know: I love Spencer. I love living with him and I love being around him... I just don't know about this whole wedding thing. It's not that I don't want to get married... Constant mail is making planning anything seem like such a horrible task to tackle and then what happens if I want to work on another degree instead of be happy as a married woman that should be concentrating on a family? I don't even think I can come up with what a good wife is supposed to do, and that scares me beyond everything else. I haven't done this before, don't plan to ever do it again, and don't want to screw up anything in the process.

Name: Memphis Raines
Age: [roughly] 31
Birthday: October 31, 1977
What brought you to the City: My Olds Cutlass, little over $1000 and a sign for the closest fuel stop. What made me stay? Gut instinct. Passing by that abandoned shop helped too.
Favorite Book/Film/Music etc:
Book: Any Chilton's manual
Film: American Graffiti
Music: Classic rock, a little of new rock, some alternative stuff... Song - Lowrider by Korn
First proper relationship: Susan Peters was the first live in girlfriend I had. Might not have had the first relationship with her, but she was the first that lived with me.
Why did it end?: She said I focused on my job more than her.
Place of birth? Charlotte, NC
Why aren't you still there?: I never lived in Charlotte. Just was born there. We lived in Mooresville, and I left for education purposes.
Current relationship: not in one. I am kinda seeing Jane, but I don't think I'd go so far as to call it a relationship just yet.
If not in one/unhappy in one, what are you looking for? Understanding. My work and my brother are the most important things to me right now and anybody that I let into my life that close is going to have to understand that.
Most embarrassing experience? There'd be a lot of these if I'd been caught... Probably most embarrassing that I got caught with was a cop said I was stealing road signs when I was actually covering Travis and putting them back up.
Most terrifying experience? Crashing my first car. Just had to tempt Dead Man's Curve...
Experience of which you're most ashamed? Having to call my Dad one night that I landed my butt in jail for being in a bar brawl. I'd rather not have called him, but the cop made me cuz I wasn't 21 yet.
What would you do to avoid experiencing them again? Lived, learned, got over myself. Grew up to be over 21 and then it didn't matter how many bar brawls I got into, I wasn't calling home no matter what.
What have you done that made you really really PROUD of yourself? Starting my shop and being in business for myself for... Geez over three years now. Most small businesses fail in the first eighteen months, and I've made it twice that long. Feels good to go open those doors and be boss every day.
Would you do it again if you could? Hells yeah. I hope to be proud of twenty years in business. Thirty five. Who knows if I'll get to fifty, but it's a good goal to have ain't it?
If you were given a voucher to buy/obtain one thing you REALLY want, guilt free and with no comebacks, what would it be? a private jet and pilot to go with it.
If I showed you a button to press that would kill one person, guilt free and no comebacks, who would it be? I don't know right off hand... I'll have to get back to you on that one.
If the Manor was on fire and there were no pets/people you needed to save, what would you grab as you ran out? My tools!
Tell us muns a secret that our pups will never know: When I was really little I watched my Dad beat the daylights out of my Mom. He was drunk and I swore I'd never get that drunk myself. But I did. The first time I got drunk enough to get the nerve, I hit him back. He laughed at me and it's made me hate him even more. Mom doesn't know I hit him. I asked her when Travis and Tyler were little why she put up with it and she said simply because she loved the man he used to be. I didn't understand then, I don't understand now, but I can't make her change anything. I've tried.

Name: Tristan Winters
Age: [roughly] 27
Birthday: November 18, 1981
What brought you to the City: The Family Business did, unfortunately.
Favourite Book/Film/Music etc:
Favorite Book: The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
Favorite Film: Interview with a Vampire
Favorite Music: Anything that isn't overplayed... I like Cold Play's Viva La Vida
First proper relationship: Allie... She took me to her prom. We were set up by our parents, decided to make the best of it and snuck off with a couple bottles of something bubbly. I continued to see her, with encouragement, and she was my partner in crime for a lot of things. I went to school, she came with me. We lived together, worked apart, and didn't talk much in the process. Just fucked. A lot.
Why did it end?: She wanted to be a hooker... I let her go.
Place of birth? New Haven, CT / Brooklyn, NYC
Why aren't you still there?: I was actually born while my parents were on vacation. We lived in Brooklyn at the time, and I'm the odd one out. I wasn't born in Brooklyn, but I lived there for the first ten years of my life. We wound up moving out because a 'city like Brooklyn isn't a proper place to raise children'... According to my Mother, that is.
Current relationship: Single and not looking for anything that lasts
If not in one/unhappy in one, what are you looking for? I don't know. I like being on my own a lot (because I don't have to open up to anybody that way) and I work in a business most women would be disapproving of. I won't change me for any woman and I wouldn't expect her to change anything she didn't want to. I guess it's more of a take me as I am and enjoy the ride while it lasts.
Most embarrassing experience? The night I got my junk pierced and cried like a baby is on the top five. Or how about the night that said piercing got stuck on that girl's piercing in a similar location...
Most terrifying experience? The day Dad said I was the heir aparent and would eventually take over the business, the family, and all the power that went along with it.
Experience of which you're most ashamed? Having to tell my Mom that Allie picked being a hooker over being engaged to me. It was disappointing and felt like the hugest failure in my life.
What would you do to avoid experiencing them again? I choose to stay alone. I bury myself in the legitimacies of my work and try to keep people at arm's length so I don't get hurt that way again.
What have you done that made you really really PROUD of yourself? Turning the club around from dive to what it is now. That took a lot of work and a lot of replacements to turn around.
Would you do it again if you could? Maybe. It's hard to say because it was a hell of a lot of work, but the club is better for it, the reputation got better and for once we're not in the red.
If you were given a voucher to buy/obtain one thing you REALLY want, guilt free and with no comebacks, what would it be? I'll take a rain check on this one.
If I showed you a button to press that would kill one person, guilt free and no comebacks, who would it be? This one too.
If the Manor was on fire and there were no pets/people you needed to save, what would you grab as you ran out? The everyday contents of my pocket. Everything else can be replaced with the right amount of money.
Tell us muns a secret that our pups will never know: I won't flat out deny my place in taking over the business from my father. Tabetha wants it. She likes the power and the thrill of being the decision maker. I could care less. I'm just a figure head. We worked out a deal that I would tay the figure head and she could call the shots... But I might actually want to test it out and see what I think of it first.

Name: Chadwick Logan Kennard - But if you call me that I won't answer.
Age: [roughly] 34
Birthday: May 25, 1975
What brought you to the City: work transfer
Favourite Book/Film/Music etc:
Favorite Book: The Halo series (yes I'm a nerd...)
Favorite Film: do the home movies of Logan when he was little count?
Favorite Music: I don't listen to a lot of music, but the stuff on Xbox is nice to hear from time to time.
First proper relationship: Lyndsay Johnson. I was seventeen (but she didn't know that then) and she was twenty three. We had a brief romance, a shorter engagement and Logan within a year. It was one hell of a roller coaster ride that I wish I was still on.
Why did it end?: Lyndsay got shot on the job and never made it back to us.
Place of birth? Wichita KS
Why aren't you still there?: Moved on to some better places.
Current relationship: Single, but not by choice.
If not in one/unhappy in one, what are you looking for? To have Lyndsay back. As corny and ironic as it sounds, I think she was the only one that could ever love me for who I was then and who I am now.
Most embarrassing experience? Not being able to be there when Logan needed me because of depression. I should've been able to be there for him and I was so weak from my own selfish hurt I didn't realize he was going through just as much.
Most terrifying experience? Driving to the hospital knowing Lynds had been shot and wasn't responding.
Experience of which you're most ashamed? Admitting that I was a thief to a classroom full of cops.
What would you do to avoid experiencing them again? I've moved past it and made myself a better person. It won't happen again. Neither of them can ever happen again.
What have you done that made you really really PROUD of yourself? Getting my GED, getting accepted to the Force, being happily married and a very proud Papa all before the age of 21 sounded damn good to me then and it sounds even better now.
Would you do it again if you could? In less than a heartbeat.
If you were given a voucher to buy/obtain one thing you REALLY want, guilt free and with no comebacks, what would it be? The life I used to have, the way I wanted it to be.
If I showed you a button to press that would kill one person, guilt free and no comebacks, who would it be? No doubt in my mind on this one - Silvio Santori. He's the one responsible for Lynds and even though it doesn't bring her back it would mean he wasn't out walking free either.
If the Manor was on fire and there were no pets/people you needed to save, what would you grab as you ran out? The beat up, torn and tattered box on the top shelf of my closet.
Tell us muns a secret that our pups will never know: The sniper case last year nearly caused me to go back into that abysmal of depression. I don't think I've fully gotten out of it. Part of me thinks I've seen Lynds here before. Part of me thought I heard her singing out in the garden. Maybe it's just me wanting to hold on for as long as I can. Maybe I'm just going crazy.

Name: Logan Chadwick Kennard
Age: [roughly] 16
Birthday: April 18, 1993
What brought you to the City: my Dad's job relocated us
Favourite Book/Film/Music etc:
Favorite Book: The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the Hobbit.
Favorite Film: I like the MASH series on tv
Favorte Music: still a geek, but classical and soundtracks are what I have the most of. I have my radio on a local pop station though, just so I don't feel like an absolute putz when people at school talk about music.
First proper relationship: hasn't happened yet.
Why did it end?: n/a
Place of birth? Corpus Christie, TX
Why aren't you still there?: Dad's job moved us here
Current relationship: not in one
If not in one/unhappy in one, what are you looking for? Can I answer that when I figure it out?
Most embarrassing experience? Having no friends except Emma show up for the birthday party Dad insisted on throwing. That was the last one though, and I couldn't be happier.
Most terrifying experience? burying my Mom and not knowing how to make things right with Dad.
Experience of which you're most ashamed? I went through a time that I was ashamed I existed, does that count?
What would you do to avoid experiencing them again? Went to counseling. Lots and lots and lots of counseling.
What have you done that made you really really PROUD of yourself? Passed my road test on the first go. Dad said it took him three tries!
Would you do it again if you could? Sure would.
If you were given a voucher to buy/obtain one thing you REALLY want, guilt free and with no comebacks, what would it be? A really really really really nice car that I know we couldn't ever be able to afford otherwise.
If I showed you a button to press that would kill one person, guilt free and no comebacks, who would it be? I don't think killing is right and revenge is followed right behind it, but if I could manage to get somebody wounded to where they'd have a slow agonizing death, that is what I would use.
If the Manor was on fire and there were no pets/people you needed to save, what would you grab as you ran out? The quilt on my bed that was made by my Mom.
Tell us muns a secret that our pups will never know: I didn't unpack for almost eight months when we first got here. I didn't think Dad would be able to survive without Mom, or without any of her family nearby. I didn't think I'd survive, or ever make friends for that matter. I still feel like an outsider, but I'm slowly fitting in places here and there. If we had to move back to Texas, I would miss this place. Missing Texas is fading a little more every day that nothing bad happens.

What brought you to the City: Memphis did. I kinda didn't have much choice.
Favourite Book/Film/Music etc:
Favorite Book: I don't read much (but I have an old battered book of Tennyson that I hide because I don't want anybody knowing I like his poetry)
Favorite Film: The Underworld series
Favorite Music: Twisted Transistor - Korn
First proper relationship: actual realtionship as in going out on dates and that? Anna Maria Orsini.
Why did it end?: it hasn't
Place of birth? Mooresville, NC
Why aren't you still there?: I got in trouble and well, this was what seemed like the easier road.
Current relationship: seeing Amarie
If not in one/unhappy in one, what are you looking for? Ha! A question I don't have to answer!
Most embarrassing experience? The first Halloween here and the stunt I pulled with Emma... That wasn't a good choice.
Most terrifying experience? Dad saying he was shipping me off to military school if they wouldn't keep me in jail.
Experience of which you're most ashamed? Memphis taking the blame for stealing road signs when all he was doing was covering my stupid mistake.
What would you do to avoid experiencing them again? umm... Straighten up and fly right?
What have you done that made you really really PROUD of yourself? I made it to college before my golden boy twin brother... Naw I'd probably say graduation and then finishing my first whole year of college before Tyler...
Would you do it again if you could? Yeah, I suppose I would. Lots of interesting stuff happens at college
If you were given a voucher to buy/obtain one thing you REALLY want, guilt free and with no comebacks, what would it be? The legal lowering of the drinking age back to 18!
If I showed you a button to press that would kill one person, guilt free and no comebacks, who would it be? I dunno. Killing just isn't my thing. Practical jokes, pranks, yeah but not killing really.
If the Manor was on fire and there were no pets/people you needed to save, what would you grab as you ran out? my laptop. There's a lot of information on that...
Tell us muns a secret that our pups will never know: As much as it's nice to have the trust, I just want to do something entierly chaotic. Get myself into trouble for the sake of being trouble, ya know?
