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.

Name:
Age: [roughly]
Birthday:
What brought you to the City:
Favourite Book/Film/Music etc:
First proper relationship:
Why did it end?:
Place of birth?
Why aren't you still there?:
Current relationship:
If not in one/unhappy in one, what are you looking for?
Most embarrassing experience?
Most terrifying experience?
Experience of which you're most ashamed?
What would you do to avoid experiencing them again?
What have you done that made you really really PROUD of yourself?
Would you do it again if you could?
If you were given a voucher to buy/obtain one thing you REALLY want, guilt free and with no comebacks, what would it be?
If I showed you a button to press that would kill one person, guilt free and no comebacks, who would it be?
If the Manor was on fire and there were no pets/people you needed to save, what would you grab as you ran out?
Tell us muns a secret that our pups will never know:

Meant to say, add your answers in comments, please.

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.
