So, apparently, I got tagged in a meme thing by snowthefirst ? Sure, I’ll do it - but as with usual, I won’t tag anyone, because if I tag some people and not others they might get sad and I don’t want them to feel left out!
Apparently, in the words of this -
“So the purpose of this meme is to give a little info on your muses without having to rely on others to fill your ask with meme questions. I know how disappointing it can be to come back to an empty ask so I wanted to create a meme that anyone and everyone can do (mun and muse).”
1. What is your favorite word?
“Well, if I were to think of the word that has helped myself and my friends more than any else these days.,..it would be Truth. Pretty obvious, I know, but oh well.”
2. What is your least favorite word?
“.....Cheat.” (Hugh is rubbing at his neck area a little when he says that - evidently, the reason why this word is disliked by him is not something he’s willing to explain why on.)
“…This really isn’t any of your business to ask, you know.” Hugh says this in a even, quiet tone, yet the fact he’s not maintaining proper eye contact about this subject likely speaks volumes more than he wants it to.
“O-OBJECTION! I just said, questions like this and the other aren’t any of your buisness!” He actually slammed the desk he was sitting at there, and his face looks a little flushed. Maybe it might be wise to back off the subject, to give Hugh a break...he’s evidently getting flustered!
5. What sound do you love?
Hugh’s tense posture becomes less stiff. “...Well, other than the sounds of my friends’s voices, I do like the sound of pages turning, being someone who likes reading even if they’re not studying. It’s soothing.”
6. What sound do you hate?
“Though the sound of ripping pages - to reflect my like of hearing pages simply turn - is a sound that alarms me, I...I hate the sound of my friends crying and upset more than that. I want to help them be happy, you know?” That’s quite a sweet answer, in it’s own way.
7. What is your favorite curse word?
Hugh actually stares in silence to the question answer, eyebrows raised for a moment, before talking here. “Do I LOOK like the kind of person who’d want to prattle on with such foul language?”
8. What profession other than yours would you like to attempt?
“Well, if fate had gone differently and I didn’t want to be a Defense Attorney - I would have wanted to be a teacher instead. Helping people learn things, be geniuses in their own right, if they so wish...it sounds really nice, yeah? Hey, maybe when I become a defense attorney and have been in several cases, I could teach new attorneys? That way I could try both teaching and defending the truth...” He taps his chin at that thought, eyes widened and a small half-smile on his face.
9. What profession would you not like to do?
“Well...I probably wouldn’t be a good doctor. I hate seeing people in pain and stuff, as much as I still play the stoic sometimes...I mean, yeah, a defense attorney has to investigate crime scenes and read reports of how people died, true, but...if it means finding their killer, I could do it. Not otherwise, though.” Fair enough, Hugh.
10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God(s) say when you arrive at the pearly gates?
.....Hugh looks down at his feet for a long time. Then, in a voice so quiet you can barely hear it, he mumbles: “...That Juniper and Robin are there happy, too.”
1. Something most people don’t know about you?
“Well, I actually used to be a actor in the Themis school-production plays, but I always said to erase my name on the actors list so nobody would find out...I was really worried everyone would make fun of me if they found out. I eventually stopped doing it, when my real age was revealed to everyone, because only folk of a certain age can act in the plays. I have a feeling Junie and Robin already knew that I acted in those plays, though...and I’ve got nothing left to hide anymore, so I don’t mind telling folk and thus making them find out now.”
2. If you were one of the seven sins which would you be?
“.....With how I used to outright call most folk mouth-breathers, and think I was better than others, it would be Pride. It makes me shameful of myself to admit it now, and I can only hope I can make up for it.” Ouch, sudden serious topic there.
“....If you really MUST pester me with such innapropriate questions, I love Junie, so I believe that would indicate I like girls more, obviously..”
4. What position do you sleep in?
“Well, I’m used to laying on my back, because I don’t like to move around too much and not be able to put my glasses on easy in the morning - but lately, I’ve been sleeping on my side a bit.” S-so he can hug Junie if she sleeps nearby...it’s nice to hug her.
5. What if someone told you…you HAD to lose, just this one time?
“I would want to know the reason why, of course. A defense attorney strives for pursuit of truth, to defend the innocent above all else - so it had better be a good reason, if someone’s telling me I have no choice but to lose.”
6. If you were a mythical creature which one would you be?
“...Uh....I’m not really sure? I guess maybe an elf? They’re good at archery too, and can tell when people are lying easy...wouldn’t that be good for testimonies?” Hugh, you nerd.
7. If you could live in any sort of environment (with your choice of inhabitants, climate, etc.), what would it be? Describe it.
“Eh, well...I’m okay with pretty much any location. As long as my friends are there: besides that, seeing new places unlike here, where I grew up, would be fun with them. Lawyers go from place to place a lot.”
8. If you could gain one super power (that you don’t already have), what would you want it to be?
“...I guess I’d really like to have some kind of power that could help with court cases.” Irony is, he would actually unlock a power like that sometime in the far-off future...
9. If you had the choice between dying to save someone you love, or live on knowing you didn’t save them, which would you choose?
“I would sacrifice myself. I wouldn’t just stand there and do nothing if Junie or Robin were in danger...even if it would make me sad knowing they’d miss me, at least I could go out with a smile, knowing I was able to protect those most important to me.” Said without a moment’s hesitation, there...
10. If you had the money or confidence to wear whatever you wanted, what would you wear?
"....I d-don’t really know much about fashion? Can’t I just stick with suits?” He seems a little flustered on the topic being one he clearly doesn’t know much of.
11. Who do you look up to as a role model?
“...Courte.” His voice goes very quiet, there, and he says nothing more on the subject. Clearly, there is a lot of guilt over following Means - of not following the right teacher and understanding she had his best interests at heart until now, when she’s already...
12. What is one thing you regret the most?
“....Causing Juniper and Robin suffering due to trying to say I was the murderer at the Themis Trial, and pushing them away because...because I thought it’d be best for them - because I thought they didn’t care about me, who better to take the blame for the death...?” His hands seem to be shaking as he says this...the very serious questions to do with the Trial would clearly be very upsetting.
“...That all of this happiness here and now is just a dream, and one day I’ll wake up....and I’ll be stuck back before the Themis Trial ever happened...and I’ll never be allowed to...to...b-be....friends with Robin, and tell Junie how I feel....” He actually has to pause a moment there, as his very voice shakes...might be best to leave off such subjects for a while so he can recover. Pat the nerd.
14. Do you often play the hero in times of need?
“I guess I try to. I seem to be a l-lot...better at it these days.” Taking a slow breath to calm himself there.
15. One secret you wish you could tell?
“Heh....I don’t keep any secrets from anyone any more. I hope I never do.”
