Character Question 11

What sense do they most rely on?

Bella: sight. She has very good vision, surprisingly enough seeing as she does intense programming and wiring sessions. She did make special glasses for magnification so that probably helps. Good vision also means she can see the minuscule movements of finely tuned machines! And she has stellar hand-eye coordination.

Freddie: hearing. He wears glasses, so sight is pretty much out of the question. Sometimes experiments don't visually change but there is bubbling that's rarely heard by anyone but him.

Zach: touch. There is nothing like a lap in a cold pool or dribbling a basketball. It's relaxing for him. As a kid he often stuck his arms in dark holes to see what was inside (he still does it, just not as often) He's also great at gaging air resistance, oddly enough since he isn't skilled academically. It was a matter of practice. When he's pitching or spiking, a few almost throws of the ball will almost guarantee a perfect throw.

This doesn't fit my blogs theme at all, but people need to know about this

THROUGH A RAPIST’S EYES” (PLS TAKE TIME TO READ THIS. It may save a life, It may save your life.)

An Article from Neena Susan Thomas

“Through a rapist’s eyes. A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interview…ed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1] The first thing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun! , braid, or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed. They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair. Women with short hair are not common targets.

2] The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who’s clothing is easy to remove quickly. Many of them carry scissors around to cut clothing.

3] They also look for women using their cell phone, searching through their purse or doing other activities while walking because they are off guard and can be easily overpowered.

4] The number one place women are abducted from / attacked at is grocery store parking lots.

5] Number two is office parking lots/garages.

6] Number three is public restrooms.

7] The thing about these men is that they are looking to grab a woman and quickly move her to a second location where they don’t have to worry about getting caught.

8] If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn’t worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9] These men said they would not pick on women who have umbrellas,or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.

10] Keys are not a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you’re not worth it.

POINTS THAT WE SHOULD REMEMBER:

1] If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: can’t believe it is so cold out here, we’re in for a bad winter. Now that you’ve seen their faces and could identify them in a line- up, you lose appeal as a target.

2] If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell Stop or Stay back! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they’d leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

3] If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes,) yelling I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.

4] If someone grabs you, you can’t beat them with strength but you can do it by outsmarting them. If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm between the elbow and armpit or in the upper inner thigh – HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands the guy needed stitches. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it; it really hurts.

5] After the initial hit, always go for the groin. I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy’s parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you’ll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause him a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble, and he’s out of there.

6] When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible. The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly.

7] Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don’t dismiss it, go with your instincts. You may feel little silly at the time, but you’d feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

FINALLY, PLEASE REMEMBER THESE AS WELL ….

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do it.

2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans : if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won’t see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side,put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU CLOSE the DOORS , LEAVE.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:

a. Be aware: look around your car as someone may be hiding at the passenger side , peek into your car, inside the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. ( DO THIS TOO BEFORE RIDING A TAXI CAB) .

b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

c. Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).

7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better safe than sorry.

Character Question 17

What do they love to hate?

Freddie: everything. He can find something bad about basically anything. But he goes out of his way to hate on technology, mostly cos he's not as good at it as he'd like.

Bella: people who go out of their way to hate things. She loves to tear down their opinions with facts and reason. She has made many people cry in these situations.

hi there ;) 53 is one im curious about :^)

53. What is something they want but can't have?

Bella huffs frustratedly, "Some useful help around here. DID YOU HERE THAT BOYS?! GET OFF YOUR LAZY BEHINDS AND HELP OUT!!" She turns back and adds, "And maybe tools. There's nothing metaphorical I don't have access to right now, I'm just suffering from a lack of resources."

"Some peace and quiet," Freddie spits, matching Bella's glare from across the room. "I have private, confidential things that I need to work on, but since I'm part of an alliance I need to contribute to the group so we might be able to survive. I can see the necessity of it, but I still don't like it.

"Respect. It's a little depressing, I know, but I'm not really taken seriously," Zach explains, down. "I think it's because I goof around too much, a least at school, and because I'm too young, or maybe because I'm not confident enough. I can count on one hand how many people I'm myself with - people who are themselves are crazy brave."

Thank you for giving me prompts while I muster up the motivation to write 2 (3?) chapters before I get to the event

Freddie: he has, and can go for months, and possibly longer without talking. His emotions, which if he was willingly mute, would be mostly negative, so he'd communicate through glares.

Bella: She can probably go for quite a while without talking. By nature, she's very private, so she'd be fine just communicating with gestures, especially since she had a lot of practice with that in her earlier schooling years.

Zach: maybe 10 minutes? Provided he's not sleeping. He's social and loves to talk about, talk with, and talk at people. Once he comes out of his shell in canon, the other two are going to struggle to shut him up. He may not understand much, but he'll try his best, and will probably ask questions in all the wrong scenarios until he isn't completely lost.

How long can your OC go without talking?

Hi Eve!!! Happy to see you active again!! I'd love to see an answer for 28 ^_^

28 If they could have one wish, what would they wish for? Bella lets out a heaving sigh, "For this to be over." She waves a hand at the outside, indicating the crumbling world she's stuck in. "It's awful what the gas has done to people, and I don't know how much longer I can last. It's exhausting providing for the boys and keeping a calm facade. I hate being in charge and I miss my family. But that's not going to happen without hard work. If only I could wish it away." "My parents!" blurts out Freddie instantly, shooting forward, a desperate fire in his eyes. He clears his throat and shifts awkwardly, his eyes glistening a little. "I need them and I miss them. They were supposed to come back, but they haven't." He turns away, too emotional to continue." "That's a tough one," Zach muses. "Maybe a way to end judging. I dunno how, but if there was a way to make everyone nicer and to stop assuming things about people based on the past, that'd be nice. Either that, or a way to save everyone stuck in this mess.
