Q: What's your dream vacation? Katrina: "I'd love to go back to China someday or maybe Germany." Jacob: "Uh...ya know I've never really thought about it. I've never had a vacation before. I think I'd like to just do a road trip around Italy maybe? That seems fun." Ellis: "I wouldn't mind visiting Greece! Or maybe going to see some of the castles in Scottland? I'd love to run around acting like a prince for a day." Jasmine: "I think I'd like to take my kids on a cruise one day. Or maybe take them to Disney world and stay at the park for a few days." Gemma: "Dream vacation? I'm not sure really. Somewhere with nice sandy beaches and clear waters and freedom to just run around ya know? No worries or expectations." Imani: "I think visiting Puerto Rico could be fun! Or taking a trip back home to France for a while. So long as I don't get any sudden calls from the Sector." Ezekiel: "I think going to the Grand Canyon could be fun. Or maybe going to see the Northern Lights." Emery: "I want to go camping in the Appalachian woods. See if it's as spooky as everyone says they are." Q: If you had your powers taken away for a full day what would you do? How would you feel? Katrina: literally wouldn't notice a difference. Jacob: "I think I'd feel pretty wrong. Not being able to shit and go for a run. If I didn't know that I'd get them back I'd probably freak out more but other than that I'd probably just go about business as usual feeling a little off. Least work wouldn't be as draining." Jasmine: "I don't think I'd mind. I might miss being able to shift, especially with my kids, but there's bigger things to worry about." Gemma: "If I knew I was going to get them back it wouldn't be that bad. Probably a little boring but I'd just go about my normal day. If I didn't know I'd get them back...I don't know. I'd feel like I was missing a big part of who I am. And I wouldn't be able to just throw people when they piss me off which would suck." Imani: "Having to suddenly pay for travel would be a pain but otherwise I'd be fine." Ezekiel: "Pretty much the same? Not feeling where Em and Ez were would be weird but eh we have phones." Emery: "Ugh I don't even want to think about that. Not being able to protect from people touching me or not being able to heal my brothers when they do something stupid? I'd probably just hole up in my room all day. If I didn't know if I was getting them back someone would need to die." Question for Ellis: "Have you ever been in love?" Ellis: "I...I don't really know. Maybe? I've dated guys that made me happy for a while and the breakups sucked. But I've always been told I would know when I was in love with someone. So I don't think so." Question for Ellis from Cass: "What's your ideal first date?" Ellis: "You asking for a reference, handsome? c; Uh I'm not really sure. Normally going to the club and getting some drinks is fun but like that's kinda played out. I think going on a picnic would be nice. I've never been on one before." Question for John Whitlock : Other than your wallet, phone, or keys what's one thing you never forget at home? Question for Noah St Cloud: What's the fastest someone has ever really pissed you off? Question for Dane Wayland from Gemma: Other than the car accident when was the last time you really thought you might die? Question for Ashley Wolfe from Gemma: If you had to pick your favorite dog breed which would it be? Question for Felix Golding: If you woke up one morning and Hubble was entirely missing what would you do? Question for Cass Harlow from Ellis: If you had to pick what's one place you've really felt like you were home? Question for everyone: If there was only one food you could eat for the rest of your life what would you want it to be?

Q: "If you woke up one morning and Hubble was entirely missing what would you do?" Felix: Look everywhere for him. Interrogate everyone in my house. Then I would unfortunately have to call my uncle to come and use his gift to find him. As much as I don't want to see my uncle, I would want Hubble back more. Q from Ellis: "If you had to pick what's one place you've really felt like you were home?" Cass: Tennessee, with my Aunt Dani. I've always kind of thought I would move back there, eventually, to be closer to her, if I ever found the right person to settle down with. If they wanted to live there, too, of course! I'd be fine anywhere, really. I'd feel at home wherever I was if I was with someone I loved. Q: "What's your dream vacation?" Cass: A concert tour with someone I love. Just the two of us, traveling from place to place to see our favorite artists, and staying in nice hotels, and eating at nice restuarants along the way. Felix: Hubble and me on a deserted island, in a nice house stocked with plenty of chocolate. And other necessities of course. *brings up a picture on his phone* Like that. That's the dream. Q: "If there was only one food you could eat for the rest of your life what would you want it to be?" Cass: Potatoes! There's so many ways you can have them, and all are good! Felix: Chocolate cake. Like the one I got for my birthday this year. It was perfection. *drools a little thinking about it* Question for Ellis Bridges from Cass: "What's your love language?" Question for everyone: "If you had three wishes, what would they be?"

I know I haven’t answered all of them yet sjenfksnf I’m getting there! Q: “On a scale from one to ten--relative to superhero origin stories--how traumatized are you??” Noah: “Objectively, a solid six. Nice and neat. But I mean, I don’t care enough for any of that to have actually traumatised me, so, zero.”
Eve: “One? Perhaps even zero? My life has been comfortable and full of love. Others have it far worse than me…”
Grace: “Traumatised? By what, having to see Dane’s face far more than the average person? Yeah, actually, I’d say ten for that alone.” Q (to Noah): "What never fails to make you laugh?" Noah: “Hmm… Tawny’s ferrets in little outfits. That scene of Mac and Charlie staring at each other in It’s Always Sunny. And that one song about flirting with a dad.” (It’s the delivery of the first ‘ur fkn dad’ that gets him. Catch him drunk in the streets belting this song at 3am.) Question (to Noah from Felix): "What’s the worst gift you have ever received?" Noah: “A dead bird in a box. Fun. Oh, and one time my grandfather gave me a bunch of pamphlets on the evils of birth control, homosexuality, and ‘self-exploration’ – but, looking back, honestly that’s kinda hilarious.” Q (to Eve): "Do you believe in soulmates?" Eve: “Not in the romantic sense, nor in the ‘twin flame’ way; in my opinion, you can have more than one. I believe… in fate. I believe soulmates are people who deeply influence each other in some way to make fate happen. People who cause waves in each other’s lives, not mere ripples. And that doesn’t necessarily mean they have to love each other at all.” Q (to Eve from Cass): "Which of your cats is your favorite?" Eve: *looking completely aghast with her hand to her chest* “A favourite? Oh no, I couldn’t do that. While they have different quirks and it may seem like some find trouble more than others, I love and adore them all equally.” (It’s Sooty) Q (to Noah): "What's the fastest someone has ever really pissed you off?" Noah: “About five seconds. I was already in a shitty mood and making no attempt to hide it, then some random girl I’d never met just strolled up to me and tried to yank me down for a kiss without saying anything. Who the fuck does that? She’d probably seen it in some movie and thought she was being slick.” Q for Seth Perry from Noah: “If you hadn’t needed to run away, what career do you think you would have chosen? What do you think your life would be like?” Qs for Katie Graushuper : “What’s the worst episode you’ve ever experienced? What did you see?” and “Do you ever think about getting Julie out of the psychiatric hospital?” Q for John Whitlock : "What's the weirdest thing you've seen in the woods as park ranger?" Qs for Felix Golding from Noah: “If you had to pick between saving me or Caffery, who would you choose? If you'd pick Caffery, could you be bribed to pick the other option?” and “If you had to wear the cat ears or the collar for a whole day out in public, with no way of avoiding or getting out of it, which would you choose?”

Q: “What’s your dream vacation?” Katie: “Hm, that’s kinda hard. I think it might be, like, a trip to Branson. But in the winter. Cus it's the off season so nobody’s really there. I can have the whole place to myself! We won’t have to wait in stupid lines and tickets will be easy to get. I mean, some of the shows probably won’t be running, but I think it would be worth it.” Q: “If you had three wishes, what would they be?” Katie: “One: no schizophrenia. Two: all my friends happy and safe. Three: easy access to all the funny dog videos ever made.” Q for Katie: “What’s the worst episode you’ve ever experienced? What did you see?” Katie: “Oh. Uh, I guess it was when I was 18. I was home alone. I remember having such a bad headache that day, so when I started to feel dizzy, I reached for my phone. I didn’t end up calling anyone though, cus it was just a little too far away. …Um, then the, uh, episode started. I was this guy and everything hurt. It was like someone was reaching inside my chest and squeezing my heart. It wasn’t like physical pain, though. He–I was so devastated. I can’t describe it all. I started to burn, I was so angry. I can hardly remember what about. We were eating dinner, so I reached for the steak knife. I-I didn’t regret it. It was so warm on my hands. I still feel it sometimes. When I came to, I was scared. He was still in my head. I was still angry. But now I regretted it all. I might’ve cried a bit. I washed my hands. Then I washed them again. And again and again and again. I could never get it all off. So y-yeah, that’s what scares me the most I guess. I am him, cus he came from my mind.” Q for Katie: “Do you ever think about getting Julie out of the psychiatric hospital?” Katie: “Nah. She explicitly told me not to do ‘stupid stuff’. Then she gave me a list, as a joke–I hope. ‘Getting suicidal depression patients released’ was the first thing on it. I lost the list, but I remember that. Besides, she always insisted there was nothing wrong with me. Obviously that’s not true, but she firmly believes she belongs in the hospital. …I do too.” Q for Evening Cadieux “Have you ever heard something in someone’s head you know you weren’t supposed to? What was it?” Q for James Clark “If you could make it so you never went back in time in the first place, would you?”

Q from Noah: “If you had to pick between saving me or Caffery, who would you choose? If you'd pick Caffery, could you be bribed to pick the other option?” Felix: Saving you from what? I can't imagine any scenario where I would be in a position to save either of you from something you couldn't save yourselves from. But perhaps I just don't have the imagination for it. I suppose if I had to pick, I would choose Caffery, because of his loyalty to my aunt, and his connection with my other housemates, and because of his utter patheticness. I don't think I could be bribed to choose the other option, but I could potentially be persuaded. (he would save Noah over Caffery but doesn't want to admit it) Q from Noah: “If you had to wear the cat ears or the collar for a whole day out in public, with no way of avoiding or getting out of it, which would you choose?” Felix: *looks extremely perturbed at the question* The collar. It's less obvious. 😒 Q: "If you had three wishes, what would they be?" Cass: That's easy: to find my soulmate, to have a dog whose lifespan matches my own, and for a universal all-access reusable ticket to any concert I ever wanted to go to. Felix: I would only use one wish and would save the other two in case I needed to modify the first one in any way. For the first wish, I would write a bunch of statements down on a piece of paper, things such as "I am rich", just for an example, etcetera. My first wish would be "I wish everything written on this piece of paper was the truth." If anything turned out badly or didn't go the way I had hoped, I would repeat the process with my second wish, and so on. (he has thought way too much about this) Qs for Noah St Cloud from Felix: "Have you ever used your molotov cocktails? If so, when?" and "What's your favorite kind of cake or baked good?" Q for Noah St Cloud : "Name one gift you've always wanted to borrow, and one you never would." Q for all gifted characters: "If you had to trade your gift for another one, which would you pick?"Q for everyone: "If you died and came back as an animal, which animal do you think you would be?"

To Seth Perry (from Noah): If you hadn’t needed to run away, what career do you think you would have chosen? What do you think your life would be like? Seth: If I could have been anything... Maybe a kindergarten teacher. Little kids are so sweet and innocent. They are filled with wonder. Right now, I’d be working on finishing college. My parents would be proud of me, and I’d probably have an apartment off campus with Jenna. She’d say she was irritated with how often her brother was over, but really she’d be happy that we were happy. Q: If there was only one food you could eat for the rest of your life what would you want it to be? Maddie: I guess chicken nuggets. Or mac and cheese.
Mason: Pulled pork sandwiches would be it for me.
Genie: I would have to say sushi.
Ethan: My mom’s spanakopita.
Emie: Cheese burgers! With bacon.
Seth: Does salad count? I love salad.
Annabelle: I want to say steak, but that would get so unhealthy. I’d have to say eggs I guess. Versatile and healthy.
Bridget: Boiled peanuts would be it for me.
Nate: If I could only choose one thing, it would be chickpea curry. Q: If you had three wishes, what would they be? Maddie: What's the point of wishing for things?
Mason: I'd wish that my mom finally got sober, that Maddie finds her purpose, and that I could get my shit together.
Genie: I only have one wish. Gifted don’t exist.
Ethan: I’d wish that my dad and Oliver weren’t involved in the Guild, that I didn’t have to deal with their clients, and that we could find Millie.
Emie: If I could wish for anything, I would wish that and that Emmett and Mom were still here. That's it.
Seth: I want to find Jason, to visit my parents at home, and to just feel safe again.
Annabelle: I would wish that I’d never get injured, that my dance partners are competent, and that I get to travel the world with work.
Bridget: I’d wish that it was easier to visit home.
Nate: Three wishes seems greedy. The first would be to be able to make a difference in the world. The next would be to implement programs to end hunger, and the last wish would be purely selfish… to be able to go back and fix my biggest mistakes. Q (for gifted): If you had to trade your gift for another one, which would you pick? Maddie: If I could have any other gift, I’d choose pathokinesis.
Mason: Hands down, if I had to pick something else it would be healing. My job would be so much easier.
Genie: Is no gift an option? If not.. Negation. Like, permanent negation.
Ethan: I like what I can do, but if I had to trade it, maybe telepathy would be cool.
Emie: Shapeshifting. It would be so cool.
Seth: Maybe teleportation? It would make hiding out much easier.
Annabelle: Accelerated healing, for sure. Something that wouldn’t be a risk to anyone else and would only help me? Yes, please.
Bridget: I’m fond of my gifts, but if there was no choice but to trade them for something else I think I’d choose memory manipulation. Q: If you died and came back as an animal, which animal do you think you would be? Maddie: I’d be a kitten!
Mason: Oh, easy. A raccoon.
Genie: A chameleon.
Ethan: I’d be a rabbit.
Emie: If I was an animal it would be a fox!
Seth: Can I be a squirrel? They’re so cute!
Annabelle: A liones, for sure
Bridget: I’d be a koala. Deceptively cute.
Nate: Absolutely would be a puppy dog.

Q (to John): "Other than your wallet, phone, or keys what's one thing you never forget at home?" John: Wedding ring. Knife. Q (to Dane, from Gemma): "Other than the car accident when was the last time you really thought you might die?" Dane: There was that whole thing a couple of years ago. Thought that was it for sure. But most recently? I mean, I almost bled out in my apartment not too long ago. Wasn't a biggie, though. Maybe the last time I got in a car with you. Or when Snowcone ate an alley rat and had the worst gas all night. Q (to Ashley, from Gemma: "If you had to pick your favorite dog breed which would it be?" Ashley: Big and fluffy. Q (to John Whitlock): "What's the weirdest thing you've seen in the woods as park ranger?" John: The aftermath of a shroom trip for three college boys. I will not elaborate. But it was a scene. Q: "If there was only one food you could eat for the rest of your life what would you want it to be?" Tawny: Poptarts. So bad for you, sure, but the variety? Dane: Pasta, pasta, pasta! Gimme those carbs, baby. Do I have to be specific? Fettucine alfredo.
Gavyn: Cereal.
Ashley: Soup. I'm assuming I can loophole that and shake it up with different kinds of soup, but if I have to choose one... chicken noodle. With those perfect egg noodles and all the veggies.
Christian: Seafood paella.
John: Steak.
Luck: Okay, hear me out. There's this dish that's mostly gnocchi and white beans. With spinach, tomatoes, and a couple of cheeses. Whatever that's called.
Q: If you had three wishes, what would they be?" Tawny: All kids have happy childhoods with loving parents. A guaranteed warm place for every cat during the winter months. Maybe something really, really weird, like that people had auras that you could see. Like a "color of their soul" or something. Just so you could tell with a glance how close to your own theirs is. You could learn what colors went well with yours. Avoid bad ones. That sort of thing. But it kinda sounds like some sort of YA novel, doesn't it?
Dane: No tattoo, that I was irresistibly attractive, and also that I was hangover-proof.
Gavyn: I could go for a Taco Bell crunchwarp right about now. So that's wish one. Wish two, maybe... a new computer for Isaac? And then three, to be able to telepathically communicate with my BFFs, no matter where they are. I could just look at them from across the room and like... ask if my hair looked cool before I talked to a girl. How sweet would that be? Like little mind walkie-talkies, even if we're far apart.
Ashley: No Guild or Hunters. Hell, that'd change my life so much I think I'd have to save the second and third wishes to see what things were like!
Christian: One, health and happiness for my family and friends. Two: I had a nice, big summer home in Brazil. Three: my car was paid off.
John: Wife and baby, alive and happy. We'll count that as two. Third... hm. Actually, we'll save the third after we see how the first two go.
Luck: One: a prepaid gas card with no limit, two: Mamas never died, and three: hmm.... I guess that good dogs never died either.
Q: If you had to trade your gift for another one, which would you pick?" Tawny: Time travel. If only it wasn't so nuanced. Or the ability to just pause time, even.
Dane: I wouldn't give up my gift for anything. But for the sake of the question — dimensional storage. Literally the world's biggest cheat and flex. Plus, I feel like I'd already be kind of familiar with how it feels and works.
Gavyn: Something about food, I think. Like, no matter what I made, it made whoever ate it feel super amazing.
Ashley: Memory manipulation would be nice. To be able to erase the memory of even yourself completely from someone's life?
John: Some sort of precognition. To be able to see the future. But only if I could change what I saw by making different choices.
Luck: Telepathy. My gift can be kinda like that... but sometimes it's... not enough, if that makes sense? Like... I can tell what you're feeling, sure, but it'd be so much easier if I could tell what you were thinking. I don't know though, maybe if I had telepathy I'd say the same exact thing and wish for my gift instead.
Q: "If you died and came back as an animal, which animal do you think you would be?" Tawny: Cat. A weird one.
Dane: Honey badger. Or a mongoose.
Gavyn: Jellyfish. No brain, no pain. 🤙
Ashley: Dog.
Christian: A dove.
John: Wolf.
Luck: Possum. Catch me yellin' on your porch and eatin' the bugs from your garden.

Q: If you had three wishes, what would they be? James: *rolls eyes* I hate this question. Life isn't a fairy tale and verbalizing wishes is just a way to make what you really want seem less attainable and more far away.
Q: If you died and came back as an animal, which animal do you think you would be? James: Um...
Q from Katie: If you could make it so you never went back in time in the first place, would you? James: *without hestiation* No. *pause* Would you like to also give me a paper cut and pour lemon juice on it? What kind of question was that?
Q for everyone:Did you have a stuffed animal as a child? And where is it now?

Q: “If you died and came back as an animal, which animal do you think you’d be?” Katie: “I’d come back as a human, obviously.” Q: “If there was only one food you could eat for the rest of your life what would you want it to be?” Katie: “Corn. Hands down.” Q: “Did you have a stuffed animal as a child? And where is it now?” Katie: “Yeah, actually. Corporal Careful Celery Circle Caterpillar Cake Benson. He was the greatest friend of all time. Benson looked like a cross between a porg from Star Wars and an anteater; my weird aunt got him for me when I was four. I left him behind the couch. He was on a super secret stealth mission to save Avery’s Twilight Sparkle toy from the dishwasher. …I wonder if Ave ever got his report.”

Q: Did you have a stuffed animal as a child? And where is it now? Tawny: I only had like... a billion. Almost all of them stayed in my room when I left for college, so I'm not sure what happened to them. I imagine Poppy either kept them, donated them, or gave them to Belle when they moved into the old house. I wish I could say I kept a favorite and that I still have it today, but... I didn't.
Dane: When Dino and I were kids, like little little, our Mom gave us this stuffed... lion? Or bear? I don't know exactly what it was because it was fucking old and ratted and freaky. It was hers when she was a kid, I guess, so that shit was already loved to the point of being unrecognizable. I don't even think it had eyes. Its whiskers were all sad and shit, haha. Anyway, we used to fight over it a lot. And we tore its head off one day. She was very upset when she found it. Dino ended up fixing it somehow. But we never saw it again. I imagine she squirreled it away somewhere. It's gone now, obviously.
Gavyn: The only one I really remember was a turtle I stole from Molly. She didn't even notice, she had so many. Anyway, little dude was cool as hell. I still have him! He's in my room, sitting on a shelf! His name's Shelly.
Ashley: I vaguely remember having a stuffed animal as a kid. Dane and I ended up ruining it but I sewed it back up. Other than that, no. I bought this massive stuffed bear for Valentine's Day and tried to convince Gemma to climb inside so we could scare the shit out of Grace once, but she wouldn't do it — I think she just... wanted the bear, hahaha.
Christian: If I had a stuffed animal I would have been roasted to hell by all of my brothers so, no, I didn't. Wait, actually — Margo did get me a little teddy bear for graduation. One with the cap and gown and everything? I still have that somewhere. Does that count? I wasn't really a kid.
John: No, I did not.
Luck: A stuffed animal... no, I suppose not. I was more of an action figure, Hot Wheels, and army man sort of kid. Question (for everyone): What's #1 on your Christmas list this year? Question (for everyone): What's your favorite birthday memory?

Q (to Eve): “Have you ever heard something in someone’s head you know you weren’t supposed to? What was it?” Eve: *laughs* “Oh, all the time. People tend to think about their personal issues and have a lot of intrusive thoughts on top of that. I don’t pay them much mind anymore.
But I suppose one of the most memorable instances was when I was quite young. Three or four years old, at an age where my power was new and I didn’t quite understand the concept of privacy yet. A woman on the bus was thinking about an affair she was having and how she could tell her husband the truth, so I asked her a few questions about it. My poor dad was mortified. He apologised over and over until we reached the next stop and practically ran off the bus with me under his arm. It wasn’t even our stop. It was someplace we didn’t know at all and we had to wait half an hour for the next one to come along.” Q: “If you suddenly had your powers taken away from you for a full day what would you do? How would you feel?” Noah: “I suppose it depends on who I was with. If I was alone for that day, I might have felt a bit odd but ultimately wouldn’t realise what had happened. If I was with someone gifted whose power I know I could usually borrow, and I found that I couldn’t anymore… I wouldn’t react positively. The hunt would be on to find out who had done it and how I could get it back.”
Eve: “I suppose I’d notice my telepathy had stopped first, which would be… curious, to say the least. I’d probably decide to test my precognition by asking my cards the same question three times, and when I’d get different answers, that would be confirmation. I’d have to cancel all my tarot appointments of course. I can’t lie to the people who seek my guidance. And then I would call my dad, to see if anything similar had ever happened to him.”
Grace: “Freak the fuck out because do you know how much of my stuff is in the void?? Tonnes. Boatloads. And so much money which would presumably be gone forever. But then… I guess, I’d be human. Like I should have been from the start. So maybe I wouldn’t be too upset, after all.” Q: “If there was only one food you could eat for the rest of your life what would you want it to be?” Noah: “It would be a pretty short life, wouldn’t it? Hmm… can it be a whole meal? ‘Cause then I’d pick a turkey roast dinner. If not, I guess I’d have to go with pizza, right? As long as it has a dough base and a bit of cheese, you can put anything on it and you’re technically not breaking the rules.”
Eve: “I’m tempted to pick spaghetti and (vegetarian) meatballs, since that’s my favourite, but I suppose a smarter choice would be salad or paella.”
Grace: “Pie. There's a pie for everything.” Q: “If you had three wishes, what would they be?” Noah: “Assuming I can’t wish for more wishes? Hm… the ability to get out of any situation with complete acceptance and forgiveness from whoever was involved.” *Glances across at Felix’s answer* “Actually, scratch all that – I’d do what he said.”
Eve: “I’d wish for my family to live long, happy and fulfilled lives without true hardship and for us all to go peacefully when the time comes. The other wish I'd save for a rainy day.”
Grace: “Every gifted person on earth loses their powers with no way to get them back, making them human. No one gifted is ever born again. And finally… I’d wish to forget certain people. Completely. So I can get on with my life in the new world.” Q (to Noah from Felix): "Have you ever used your molotov cocktails? If so, when?” Noah: “Oh sure, a bunch of times. Usually as a distraction or as a ‘fuck you’ rather than a weapon. Last time I did it was to lure some bigshot lawyer out of his home because he wouldn’t leave his office and I needed to see some documents of his. It was time sensitive, I couldn’t risk waiting until the next night or when he went to bed.” Q (to Noah from Felix): “What's your favorite kind of cake or baked good?” Noah: “Strawberry meringue cake, or chocolate chip cookies.” *with a huge grin* “And I love Shortcake.” Q (to Noah): “Name one gift you've always wanted to borrow, and one you never would.” Noah: “Personally I’ve never seen Avatar, but have you heard of bloodbending? That sounds awesome. And hey, I know you said one but I gotta give my top three now: being able to pause time and mess with people would also be super hilarious. And pheromone manipulation. God, can you imagine the laughs and blackmail material you could get from that? Get people acting wildly down bad.
The worst gift would probably be… something painful, like Wolverine moving his bones and metal claws around. Without any healing factor to keep me together, something's bound to go wrong that would probably fuck me up. Ouch. Super hearing in a busy public place is another one that sucks, as well as super strong uncontrollable empathy.” *shudders* Q: “If you had to trade your gift for another one, which would you pick?” Noah: “I’d trade power borrowing for power absorption. Then I could have any gift I’d like, for as long as I’d like.”
Eve: “Goodness, it’s difficult to imagine having anything different… Perhaps the ability to relax people, or to give them energy and make them happy. Oh! Or to heal! No more scrapes and bruises for Sunny after her games.”
Grace: “I’ve used flamethrowers before; I think it might be fun to have pyrokinesis. But I suppose invulnerability would be most useful in my line of work.” Q: “If you died and came back as an animal, which animal do you think you would be?” Noah: “Probably a panther. Or a crow. Both suit my vibe and either way I’ll be coming back to fuck with whoever managed to kill me.”
Eve: “It would be nice to come back as an elephant, I think, but it’s more likely I’d be… some sort of bird. Or a deer.”
Grace: “Lioness. Queen of the jungle. Or a shrike because –” *points at tattoo* “– duh. Iconic.” Q: “Did you have a stuffed animal as a child? And where is it now?” Noah: “No. I never… no.”
Eve: “I had a cloth tiger; my mom’s big on traditions like that. I called her Starlight and gave her to Sunny when she was born, but Sunny always said she was weird-looking and didn’t want to carry her around like I did. But I still think she’s cute! I must have left her at my mom and dad’s, tucked away in my old closet... I should have brought her to Los Eurosia.”
Grace: “Among a million others, I had a big floppy dog called Benjie. He’s in the void, keeping out of trouble.”

Q: If you had to trade your gift for another one which one would you pick? Jacob: "Uh...damn I dunno I've never really thought about that. Can I pick like a different kind of shifter? I think I'd make a real cute kitty cat lounging in a warm sun spot on the floor. Knocking over all your shit."
Jasmine: "Can I pick not having a Gift? Is that an option? If not I suppose being able to turn invisible would be nice? I don't know a lot of other powers."
Gemma: "Oh I'd love to try out Grace's power for a bit. Being able to just poof people out of existence and into my own little pocket dimension, are you kidding me? That's so cool. And yes I have a list."
Imani: "I think telepathy could be really interesting to have, though I'd definitely need to figured out how to turn it on and off or at least tune thoughts out. But I'd love being able to get some piping hot tea off people with ease."
Ezekiel: "Uh...maybe power borrowing? Yeah that seems like a good one. That way I can get whatever power I want."
Emery: "Oh easy, gimmie that fire baby! You know how much easier things would be if I could just light shit on fire whenever I want?"
Nicholas: "Oh fuck do you know how cool wall climbing would be?! I wanna be Spiderman, baby! Or being able to clone myself. I think that'd be dope." Q: "If you had three wishes, what would they be?" Katrina: "Um...I guess I'd wish my sister was still here. That me and Bee and Nick and JJ could all live far, far away from mom and dad. And I'd wish every pet lived as long as long as we did."
Jacob: "I don't like this question."
Ellis: "Oh easy. I'd wish I never got hangovers again. That I could eat as much food as I wanted without gaining weight. Annnnd...That's about it I think?"
Jasmine: "That I could really feel like my kids and I were safe. That I could break this fucking tie with Marcus without hurting my family. I'm not really sure about the third one."
Gemma: "That I could live in a big house with Dino and Dane and Grace and that none of us were apart of the Guild anymore. So we could be happy and free to live our lives. And that I'd gone to Antonio's funeral before I went to Moana's."
Imani: "I don't really have anything to wish for? I'm pretty happy with my life as it is."
Ezekiel: "I dunno, I haven't really thought about wishing for things."
Emery: "I'd wish I could completely erase Kayden and everything he did. That my brothers would always stay healthy. And that I could see my other brothers and sisters again...I miss them."
Nicholas: "I'd wish people would stop asking this question. Ha!"
Q: If you died and came back as an animal, which animal do you think you would be? Katrina: "Um...Maybe a bird? I think that would be nice. I'd get to fly wherever I wanted."
Jacob: "A wolf, duh. Or is that too on the nose? Hm...maybe a sea otter then. Not a river otter. Those things are mean as hell."
Ellis: "Oh I'd want to be a cute little hamster! Just stuff my cheeks full of food and dig tunnels and run around all night."
Jasmine: "A bear for sure."
Gemma: "Would a panther be too obvious? Maybe a bobcat. Small but deadly."
Imani: "Maybe a nice fluffy cat. One that lived with a rich person so I could get the best food and keep my coat nice and brushed."
Ezekiel: "A dog. Big fluffy one."
Emery: "I'd be porcupine! That way I could stab anyone who tried to touch me."
Nicholas: "Does it have to be a real animal? Can I come back as like a pokemon? Or a honey badger. Honey badger don't care." Q: What's #1 on your Christmas list this year? Katrina: "Surviving through all my classes."
Jacob: "Uh...Not sure. I suck at making Christmas lists for myself."
Ellis: "Getting laid."
Jasmine: "Watching my kids open up all their presents for Christmas."
Gemma: "Spending time my with my family and eating way too much food."
Imani: "Going back to France with my brother to see our family!"
Ezekiel: "A decent nights sleep."
Emery: "Maybe a miracle to make it snow here."
Nicholas: "Fist fighting Santa." Q: What's your favorite birthday memory? Katrina: "When my sister snuck me into this fancy pub for my birthday and had me sing on stage. I was super nervous but it was so fun."
Jacob: "One year my brothers and I drove super far out of town and stopped by this big river. We had this huge bonfire and this really cute guy and his friends crashed the party but they turned out to be really cool and we hung out the whole night under the stars."
Ellis: "You think I remember my birthday nights? If I can remember what happened it wasn't fun enough."
Jasmine: "Probably my twenty first birthday. My oldest made me breakfast in bed then I hung out with my friends while our little ones played at the park."
Gemma: "Oh easily my eighteenth birthday. Moana made me chocolate chip pancakes in the morning and Gracie and I did Dane and Dino's costume make up then all four of us took a bunch of Halloween pictures together. Then I had this big party at the club and got probably way too drunk but then we all went back home and somehow all smooshed into my bed together and watched a bunch of horror movies until we passed out."
Imani: "Gosh, really too many to name. I think maybe the last one before mama got sick. We went out to a cabin and got to spend a weekend just all having fun around the fire pit and looking at the stars."
Ezekiel: "I guess whatever my brother and sister liked? We never really celebrated birthdays until recently."
Emery: "Maybe the first one we all had when we got here? It was just before we officially opened the club and it was the first birthday we actually celebrated. I got to shove cake in Ezra's face."
Nicholas: "When I was five and my nanny took me and my brother and sisters to the beach for the day. Even though Bianca nearly drowned me for knocking over her sandcastle." Q: Did you have a stuffed animal as a child? And where is it now? Katrina: "Oh I had lots of stuffed animals growing up because we weren't allowed to have real pets. I still have all of them in my room."
Jacob: "Nah, my old man said they were for little girls. I did accidentally destroy one of my sisters though. Okay it wasn't an accident I just really wanted it and I was mad I couldn't have it. I don't even remember what it was anymore."
Ellis: "I had one that my mom gave me when I was born. He was a little elephant holding a blanket that would sing a lullaby when you squeezed his foot. I think he's probably in some storage box in my dads attic."
Jasmine: "I had a couple growing up. Most of which I gave to my kids. Though my oldest has my favorite one in his room. It's a cute sleeping tiger I had from when I was two."
Gemma: "Oh my god I had so many stuffed animals when I was a kid. And my sister and I still fought over them. I do still have two of them. One is a little bat Mona got me for my birthday when I was ten that I named Rabies. And the other is one Dino got me for Valentines day when we were sixteen because the guy I had been seeing at the time stood me up for our date. It's a little bear holding this cute Be Mine stuffed candy heart. My dad was not happy with that."
Imani: "Oh I had plenty of stuffed animals growing up. What child doesn't? I still have the one from when I was born. A little sheep named Chouchou."
Ezekiel: "Boys weren't allowed toys like dolls or stuffed animals in the cult."
Emery: "I only had one but it was a doll not exactly a stuffed animal. She was this faceless thing in a brown dress with black yarn hair. I left her behind when me and my brothers left."
Nicholas: "Are you kidding? Do you know how much I would have been flamed if I had a stuffed animal growing up? No, but I had plenty of fun putting Trina's in the freezer." Question for Ellis Bridges from Cass Harlow: "What's your love language?" Ellis: "Hmmm...Well personally I love buying things for people. So maybe gift giving? But I don't really care if people buy stuff for me. So maybe quality time? I really just enjoy being around someone. Spending time together whether that's partying or just hanging out doing nothing together. Even just sitting next to each other doing different things." Question for Cass Harlow from Ellis: "If you had to pick, and you only get one, what would you say your favorite song is right now?" Question for Everyone: Do you wet your toothbrush before or after you put on the toothpaste?
