helloaschefire:

Thanks, Anon! Here we go!

1. What does their bedroom look like?

It depends on where she’s bedding down. If she’s at Duncan’s main safe house at Finch Farm, her bedroom is neat and tidy and reflects her interests and talents. There’s a weapons mod station and computer terminal. Books and holos and many Vault-Tec Lunch Boxes. If it one of her early safe houses, her bedroom is the main room. She slept on bedrolls and old mattresses. They were as clean as she could make it.

2. Do they have any daily rituals?

Rituals depend of if she wakes up in a safe place (which she rarely sleeps especially in an unsafe place) or not. If she is in a safe place, she wakes and exercise with Duncan. Then, depending on the safe place, she’ll zone out for a few listening to the water. In an unsafe place, she’ll immediately decamp once Duncan and Echo have eaten something, making sure their bivouac is hidden from anyone coming along. That may not be a ritual. But it’s something she does without fail.

3. Do they exercise, and if so, what do they do? How often?

The nature of the wasteland makes it easy to stay trim without dedicated exercise, but she does exercise with Duncan when they are able. Down days especially need some movement to make sure they don’t become stiff from the scrapes and bruises they accumulate in the Commonwealth.

4. What would they do if they needed to make dinner but the kitchen was busy?

She’d let Duncan make the dinner since he wanted to be in the kitchen so badly.

5. Cleanliness habits (personal, workspace, etc.)

She likes to be clean but understands that there will be days when she can’t wash the blood off. She is neat and tidy in her safe houses. Everything has its place so that it can be found easily.

6. Eating habits and sample daily menu

Ashoken doesn’t eat much. Duncan makes her eat in public to fit in. She has an almost pathological desire for Fancy Lad’s Snack Cakes and sugar in general.

7. Favorite way to waste time and feelings surrounding wasting time

Ashoken doesn’t understand the concept of wasting time. She is always doing something, even if it’s just listening to the waves crash to the shore. Duncan will argue that that is wasting time, but Ashoken shakes her head. She is unable to explain why the sound of water, rain and the ocean is so soothing to her busy mind.

8. Favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging

Ashoken collects Vault-Tec lunch boxes and Fancy Lad’s snack cakes as mentioned above. She doesn’t think about these things as being indulgences. They are things she enjoys and feels no guilt about. She loves the kazoo sound and the confetti and the sweet taste of the cakes.

9. Makeup?

No makeup. It’s never been a thing for her. Her lips were made that red. 😉

10. Neuroses? Do they recognize them as such?

Ashoken does not like to swim. She knows how, but it takes all the persuasion Duncan can muster to get her in water. The sensory deprivation of it freaks her out.
