Welcome to the Crescentwood Manor Discussion

*kind of steals Winch's format X3*

How do they like to spend their time when it's rainy/stormy/snowing outside? What's their favorite kind of weather? Favorite season or holiday? Why?

Larkin
- He usually spends it writing or working. His preferred weather is probably when it is snowing outside. Lark's favorite season is fall as he likes the changing of colors and the cozy feeling that comes along with fall. He loves Thanksgiving though, where everyone comes together and there is great food.
Adelia
- She will probably curl up somewhere and read a good book or practice the piano. She likes the cloudy but warm weather, as it's not too hot but not too cold. Because of her preferred weather, she likes the time between spring and summer. Halloween is her favorite holiday, as she loves dressing up and seeing the other costumes people do.
Deirdre
- Probably cooking or just doing.. Something. She likes everything except rain or storms, since she is scared of water. She likes summer since it usually has the least amount of rain. She does not have a favorite holiday, unless it's Valentine's Day.
Nimbus
- Nimbus will probably be napping by the fire. He usually is indoors though so he doesn't really mind the weather outside. He likes any major holidays, especially since he gets to eat things other than his cat food.
Katheryne
- Katheryne will probably be hiding in someplace dry, trying to keep warm and listening to music. Her favorite season is summer because it is usually hot and sunny, which is her favorite weather. Her favorite holiday though is Christmas. She loves the festive feel and when walking in town, it's decorated and very beautiful.

What's one embarrassing thing they did when they were younger/a long time ago that that still haunts them?

Larkin
- One time, he ate a lot yellow snow as a kid and he feels ill every time he is reminded or remembers it.
Adelia
- She got into an elevator and but didn't realize her hair got stuck in the door. Adelia had to stand there, in front of people staring at her, until the next stop so the door would release her hair. At least her hair survived, unscathed!
Deirdre
- She has once made and set up a whole holiday dinner on the wrong day. It was pretty awkward when she told them that the Christmas dinner was ready when it was the 13th..
Nimbus
- Once, he somehow mistaken mouse scat as cat food. Now, he makes sure to smell everything before he eats it.
Katheryne
- She was riding the bus for the first time and was sitting at front of the bus. Katie was sitting on the edge of her seat and was not prepared for the bus to suddenly stop. She fell out of her seat and onto the floor, preceding to tumble up the isle and down the bus steps. Needless to say, she doesn't ride the bus anymore after being laughed at by everyone.

If they have some upcoming task to do, how do they prepare in advance? How do they go about competing the task? What does their work space look like (or if they don't have one, where do they usually like to work)?

Larkin
- He starts planning or working on it in advance, trying his best on it. His office is organized and clean.
Adelia
- She probably procrastinates a little but she will get it done and it is well. She is one of the many who cleans and takes care of the manor.
Deirdre
- She usually gets it done right away, since it gives her something to do. The kitchen is neat and everything in place, since it also gives her something to do.
Nimbus
- He doesn't really work. He just hangs out and helps people in the library but that's about it. He is a cat after all.
Katheryne
- She doesn't work nor have a work space

What does their room look like? Do they take good care of their rooms? Any fun or weird things that the keep or do in there?

Larkin
- His room is spacious, boring in colors, organized, and clean. He has a weird and crazy tie collect, despite not knowing how to tie one. He also has some encouragement posters and quotes on his walls, in the appropriate places of course.
Adelia
- It is kind of bright, with blue walls and colorful blankets and stuff. She has bookshelves in her room, where she keeps all her personal books.
Deirdre
- She doesn't really have one, as it's not needed.
Nimbus
- Well... It's the library so.. Yeah. He has cat toys and stuff through it.
Katheryne
- She lives in like a small den so.. Yeah. She keeps like a blanket laid out in there and maybe a few random things.

How do they deal with a crush? How about with actually confessing?

Larkin
- He probably would hide it but it would probably be kind of obvious. He would not be the one confessing though unless he wasn't in the right mind.
Adelia
- A blushing mess. She might admit her feelings if she feels like she has a chance.
Deirdre
- Well.. She is with her crush so, happy!
Nimbus
- I have no idea XD
Katheryne
- She would be longing but just deny herself probably. She would not admit her feelings unless the other did first, and maybe not even then..

How do they like to spend their time when it's rainy/stormy/snowing outside? What's their favorite kind of weather? Favorite season or holiday? Why?

LeMarc prefers clear and moderately temperate weather. This is merely because it allows him to get the most done without any inconveniences. Any time with more sunlight is preferable, since he has a hatred for synthetic lighting. LeMarc does not celebrate most holidays because he has no semblance of family or fun or enjoyment.

Franz no longer recognises when weather changes or the passage of time. He used to really enjoy snowy days where he could sit inside by the fire and work. He also liked family holidays like Christmas where he and his research assistants and his spouses and children could sit down together and have a meal, but it's been a long time since he's done that.

Eadgyd enjoys wet autumn afternoons and misty spring mornings. She mainly prefers her weather to be cloudy and slightly damp, which allows her to move more easily and unseen. For holidays she enjoys Samhain and other holidays that thin the veil.

What's one embarrassing thing they did when they were younger/a long time ago that that still haunts them?

LeMarc's first crush once kissed him on the cheek and it resulted in the building they were in burning down due to lack of power control. He was like ten.

Franz has a local legend about him kidnapping children, that is plenty embarrassing enough. He's a bit too out of it to feel embarrassed, though.

Eadgyd feels no shame. This is perhaps her greatest flaw.

If they have some upcoming task to do, how do they prepare in advance? How do they go about competing the task? What does their workspace look like(or if they don't have one, where do they usually like to work)?

LeMarc plans down to the smallest of details. He works out of his room where he sets up schedules for staff and works out logistics. His workspace is extremely neat, though most of this is due to it being rather spartan, and has a very specific organization to it. He keeps all the rooms in the building immaculate, so of course his own space is spotless.

Franz's attic lab is an absolute mess. He doesn't have any sort of organization to his work and his entire work space is just piles and piles of books and papers. He has a very 'learn from many mistakes' approach to all his work.

Eadgyd lives at the bottom of a lake and hangs out outside the local cemetery. That really says all you need to know.

What does their room look like? Do they take good care of their rooms? Any fun or weird things that the keep or do in there?

LeMarc's bed is always made. The sheets are tightly tucked in, enough to bounce a quarter off them, and he presses all his sheets, comforters, and blankets. Not that he sleeps in it much anyways. Or sleeps much at all. His room is otherwise very impersonal, the only real personality in it located in his dresser where he keeps all his suits.

Franz's attic space is mostly made up of antique furniture being stored in it and Franz's workspace. It's a mess.

Eadgyd lives at the bottom of a lake. It's a lake. It's full of mud and water plants and rocks and fish. it's a lake.

How do they deal with a crush? How about with actually confessing?

LeMarc is a very blushy, embarrassed crusher. He's under the belief that he should never show his feelings, so he only really reacts when his discipline slips, and of course gets very embarrassed as a result. He prides himself in his ability to keep composure, which he struggles to do around handsome men. You'd have to torture LeMarc to crush confession.

Franz will nonchalantly confess his attraction to you whilst giving a lecture on his latest research, stopping mid-sentence to express his affection before continuing his speech and acting like it means nothing. He very rarely even remembers doing it afterwards.

Eadgyd only does things for herself and is highly manipulative. A true crush would have her treating someone other than herself like an actual person. She'd totally lie about it, though.

Finally getting around to these! Alright, here you go:

How do they like to spend their time when it's rainy/stormy/snowing outside? What's their favorite kind of weather? Favorite season or holiday? Why?

For Ariane, a stormy day is usually spent riding, the rain on her face being one of her favorite sensations in the world. She loves any type of storm, and will risk her life to witness one from the outside. Despite this, her favorite holiday takes place in mid-spring, a celebration that is usually only celebrated in the country where she grew up.

Magus, on the other hand, is entranced with weather in general. Though he's relatively old to it, it seems incredible to him still. He, much like Ariane, will observe storms from the outside, but is reasonable enough to understand his own limits. Any kind of yuletide celebration brings joy into his heart

What's one embarrassing thing they did when they were younger/a long time ago that that still haunts them?

Ariane was incredibly tempted with fire as a child, and loved playing with it, to the dismay of her governesses. She had several incidents with smoking toys and furniture

Nobody knows much about Maguses childhood, and he doesn't talk about it, but he's had several moments of embarrassment his first few weeks in the house. Explicitly telling people things about themselves, whether negative or just plain obvious, was one of his biggest problems with human civilization

If they have some upcoming task to do, how do they prepare in advance? How do they go about competing the task? What does their workspace look like(or if they don't have one, where do they usually like to work)?

Ariane is a definite procrastinator, and will immediately give up if she's uninterested, but if motivated does a task efficiently and works to the best of her ability. She keeps things very messy, and is unorthodox in her way of sorting, but she will get the task done if she's excited

Magus keeps everything very neat, and is very satisfied with clean spaces and organize desks. However, he's not the best at working. He's bored, and apathetic, and really just begins to lack any excitment at all when it comes to working

What does their room look like? Do they take good care of their rooms? Any fun or weird things that the keep or do in there?

This young woman, like I said to the previous question, keeps things messy. It surrounds her with a warm sense of a small life, something she's wanted for as long as she's lived. She started collecting small figures of village houses at age seven, and hasn't stopped since

Magus is peculiarly packed with things, overflowing from cabinets and shelves onto he floor of his small room. Despite his usual neatness, he has hoarded too many things to keep in the room he resides in. And discussing weird things in his room, well..You don't really want to know

How do they deal with a crush? How about with actually confessing?

Ariane is unsurprisingly an impeccable flirter, able to entrance even the most stubborn ladies or lords. However, she's horrible at receiving romantic advances, and will often back down when a confession is imminent

Magus is a charmer, to tell the truth, and is incredibly frontal about his feelings. He expresses himself in every way possible, though he does restrain himself if he's aware it would be offensive. If he developed a crush, he would be quick to tell the certain person of his intentions.

[Politics]

Whoops! I guess I ought to respond to my questions too, pfft.


• How do they like to spend their time when it's rainy/stormy/snowing outside? What's their favorite kind of weather? Favorite season or holiday? Why?
  
  • Oisín: Oisín loves storms. It might be peculiar for such a friendly sort to like such terrible weather, but he feels at home when the wind whips and thunder rumbles in the air. Though nobody quite knows why, Oisín is quite drawn to the water, and rain is no exception. When the weather's bad, he either goes out to explore the surrounding woods and lake, or stays inside to read and work on music. His favorite season is fall, but he likes early spring and winter as well. Summer is simply too hot for him, even if the sunshine is nice and folks are more willing to go to the water. Unless it's humid out, too, he finds himself needing to drink an ungodly amount of water, as well as often taking out a spritz-bottle or taking extra showers. As for seasons, Oisín's traditional holidays don't align with those of humans, but he does observe some of the major hindu holidays. His favorites are Dasahara(due to the preforming arts traditions) and Shivaratri. As for holidays here, he likes Halloween! He doesn't really know the traditions, though. He's also not quite sure why the children don't just use glamours, but appreciates the sentiment.
    
    
  • Aerona: Aerona was always fond of the summer months. She especially loves when it's warm and sunny without humidity, or even pleasanter days with a soft breeze. Her wardrobe mostly fits with the warmer seasons, and she loves to be able to work outside, even if it is a little on the hotter side. Being a pretty active lady, most of her favorite activities are better for clear, comfortable weather. Aerona, though easily cold, is very much in love with the changing of the seasons. She prefers spring and summer for sure, but the thrill of helping collect the season's new ingredients and bundling up in fall colors is always a huge joy. She has trouble picking between Thanksgiving and Christmas when it comes to holidays. Her favorite part of them each is having all of the family and friends over to enjoy the splendor of a good meal and pleasant discussions. Both also have an aspect of generosity, which fits with Aerona's compassionate nature snugly. She's just...rather indecisive.
• What's one embarrassing thing they did when they were younger/a long time ago that that still haunts them?
  
  • Oisín: Oisín is a man of countless stories, so it's difficult for him to pick one. It might also be worth noting that he is very easily flustered and quick to blush, so what he considers embarrassing follows a very peculiar and...mostly inhuman set of criteria. But one thing that haunts him is the time he travelled in a trading caravan, and spoke Arabic to all of them, all because he was too shy to tell them his name. This was because he'd forgotten the one he was using at the time some days earlier, and didn't feel like coming up with a new one. It became very awkward when they met Arabic-speaking traders who could very easily translate, so he stole one of their horses, a satchel of food, and left in the night. He still feels bad about it.
    
    
  • Aerona: Aerona did a lot of embarrassing things when she was younger, and constantly hopes that none of her family members will spill any of it(knowing full well that Larkin keeps tabs on everyone like she does, so her secrets are not safe). When she was 11, though, she had a dangerously hardcore Sonic phase, and proclaimed to the world that she would marry Tails. Little did she know that she developed a crush on Cream while watching Sonic X, and is mortified to realize that it was technically her bisexual awakening. She sometimes looks back at the folder of fanart she made from that time, and usually ends up wanting to cry afterwards.
• If they have some upcoming task to do, how do they prepare in advance? How do they go about competing the task? What does their workspace look like(or if they don't have one, where do they usually like to work)?
  
  • Oisín: Admittedly, Oisín...doesn't. Though he has difficulty focusing unless he's obsessed with a subject, most of his work is in what he loves doing. His wit and overall sharpness of mind do help him in most persuits through sheer talent, but his follow-through in less engaging subjects can be wavering. He's learned to manage his distractible nature, but he still slips from time to time, falling in love with every subject that isn't the task at hand. If he puts his mind to it, though, he can do a good job. His problem-solving skills are fairly abstract, with a good sense of synthesizing information and an articulate way of explaining his thoughts and taking the lead in most situations that involve a lot of communication. Despite this, Oisín's way of organizing is also abstract. Everything is organized according to puzzles, with labels that communicate hints that - if solved in the context of the puzzle - will maybe be enough to get you what you need. The worst part? They change every week.
    
    
  • Aerona: Is a very meticulous woman. Working in physics, she has a knack for memorizing rules, and applying them in creative ways to problems she encounters. She likes to work with organizing information she has, making charts or lists where it helps her the most. Working in small groups or organizing large ones seems to be her forte, where she can handle the situation by clearly illustrating everyone's work, and keeping people on top of their duties. One thing she isn't good at, though, is being in charge. She can organize people, sure, but she needs help in making decisions or settling on a specific game plan without the input of the rest of the group. Her workspace depends, since there are many places to work in the manor, but wherever there's quiet or a bit of shade on a warm day. Her frequent use of labeling and excellent skills in keeping her thoughts tidy and concise has helped her a great deal in taming complicated problems, as well as keeping her workspaces easily navigable.
• What does their room look like? Do they take good care of their rooms? Any fun or weird things that the keep or do in there?
  
  • Oisín: Oisín doesn't yet have a room in the manor, though that bag of his can carry an ungodly amount of things in it. Oisín's decorating style is actually quite nice, with a careful choice of coordinated colors(oftentimes a dark peacock tone, especially with white and deep reds) and a healthy mix of modern, wood tones and an antique opulence. All things considered, the contrast gives the near-impression of a museum, with it's simplistic decor in the midst of wild antiques on display. He does take pretty good care of his room, but only because it's difficult for him to mess up. His weird organizing system(As mentioned in the question previous) surprisingly keeps everything tidy. He doesn't eat in his room, so there's not a lot of chance for wrappers or grime to accumulate. His desk is the messiest thing in every place he's lived, and sometimes the room is covered in tarps when he decides he'd rather focus on painting. There are often paint splatters on the tables, walls and desk, but all too often is the upholstery too expensive to mess with. His room is also piled full of books, canvases, and paint supplies. There's likely to be a number of bird perches around the place for Agrypnia to sit.
    
    
  • Aerona: Aerona loves bright colors. Burnt yellow, soft pinks and peach tones, and natural wood tones are her favorites. Having a great love for nature and the outdoors, her room is also full of pretty plants. She has small labels on the front of each pot with instructions on how to care for them, just so she doesn't mess it up(which she doesn't, spending all too much time outside with the gardeners, but she gets nervous). Her bed is always made, and she often does some of the dusting, scrubbing and so on her self just because it gives her a sense of pride to see everything looking nice as a result of her hard work. She's very choice with her style, but most of it feels very retro, with a 70's style in the "modern", geometric shapes and old-school hippy designs in some of the artwork that populates her walls. Her room also has a lot of natural light, which she adores, and her windows are always open when the weather is nice. More often than not, the low table in her room has outfits for the coming days folded neatly. Everything in her closet is organized by color, from shoes to dresses. She has a couple of old sketchbooks in her room still, as well as a sizable stash of comic books in one of the ottomans. There's also often a bird feeder hanging out of her window.
• How do they deal with a crush? How about with actually confessing?
  
  • Oisín: Oisín is an unabashed romantic. He definitely has a way with words, and a smooth tone that is often taken for flirtatious. He certainly doesn't mind testing the waters with friends of his, but when he's really in love with someone, he just...stops functioning. The tries to keep up appearances as per usual, but his wildly vivid imagination refuses to let him forget how head-over-heels he is. He doesn't just fall in love, he crashes out of a fifty-story building. He writes music that reminds him of them, he could go on for at least thirty pages about the richness of their laugh and the funny way they adjust their hair when they're nervous. It certainly works in his favor when it comes to producing art, but neither his head nor his heart can handle all of his feelings. And confessing? Oh boy. The closest he could get would be asking for them to sit for a painting. He does well in befriending people he's interested in, as he's not one for love at first sight. Most of the time, he doesn't even realize he likes them until it's far too late. He takes his time, falling in love slowly, and once the veil is lifted all of the weight of adoration comes crashing down on him. You'll simply have to be patient with him. If you're aware of his feelings, at least, his form of courtship is quite beautiful. He's always pouring over trying to make his gestures as thoughtful as he can.(Oisín Potter and the Navigation of Tragically Complex Attraction)
    
    
  • Aerona: Aerona is actually still working on her methods, but she tends to get overwhelmed. You can always tell when she has a crush, but never on who. She becomes shy and awkward around everyone, becoming increasingly consumed by her work and in her free moments, daydreaming. She's tried being upfront, she really has! But neither forthrightness nor being smooth about it is in her nature, no matter how much she's worked to improve it. Though she's made a remarkable leap from her younger days, poor Aerona often resorts to letters, cards or even just slips of the tongue when she can't keep the secret any longer. Though quick to fall at first, she often goes back to reassess how interested she is in someone. It's been more than once now that she's thought she'd fallen in love with a friend, only for it to simply be her heart pulling her every which way.

╚═══════════════╝

Appearance:
As a son born from the fallen angel of beauty, Xzavier is exactly that. Dirty blonde locks of hair frame his face, complimenting the high planes of his cheekbones. Baby blue eyes are a contrast to his complexion, marred with freckles from working under the sun. A sharp jawline and full lips are a replica of his fathers. Standing at a comically short height of 5'5" and weighing in at a measly 110, he insists he's still growing. His back is ruined by two large scars, starting from the top of his shoulder blades to the end of his rib cage, where his wings would be. Smaller scars litter the rest of his body, many being from past abuse or unfortunate accidents. He opts to wear long sleeves whenever he can and refuses to be shirtless in front of anyone. He has a lithe frame from frequent riding and stable work.

Personality:
Despite his beauty and desirable features, Xzavier holds a lot of self consciousness. He thinks of himself as plain and boring, seeing his height and scars as something horrible. He's very easily flustered from simple compliments or things he deems as embarrassing. He doesn't quite understand social cues, getting easily confused by idioms and other parts of speech. Upon first meeting him, people see him as a nervous, socially awkward kid, who has no idea what he's doing. Once he warms up though, he seems completely different. He becomes more easy going and will even crack a joke or two with a huge grin. When around horses, he seems to become an expert at what he does. Being in the stable is when he's happiest. He likes to talk to the horses and tell them his problems as he cleans them and their stables. When he's not working, he's riding the horses and making sure theyre all getting enough exercise and other essentials. Around children he seems to act similar to a mother hen, keeping the children entertained, happy, and safe.

History:
His father, Belial, and his mother, Seraphina, had fallen madly in love. Seraphina had become pregnant and Belial began to do his best to mold a safe place where he, Seraphina, and their unborn son could live in peace. However, during childbirth, Seraphina had passed, leaving their nephilim in Belials hands. After the death of his lover, the fallen angel was in distraught. He became increasingly aggressive and angry towards Xzavier for killing the only thing he had loved. Once the child was at 13 years of age, Belial cut the wings off of his son and cast him into the human world to fend for himself. Xzavier had been found by a stable worker and taken in under the mans wing. Here, he was taught all that he knew about horses and riding. Eventually, the man grew old and Xzavier cared for him. Once the old man had died, Xzavier began to travel out of fear of being found to be a nephilim. He became an expert horse rider on his travels, always having one by his side until it could no longer continue to live with its immortal master. He is currently the proud owner of a beautiful 5 year old gypsy vanner named that stays in the stalls along with the manor horses.
