Gratuitous loneliness

We asked each of the Nine what they look for in a relationship. Here are the results:

I dunno. Someone to comfort me when I'm down, and stuff, without just mothering me. I think I'd like someone who'll be kind and supportive during the bad times and strict and encouraging the rest of the time. I guess someone borderline abusive, without dissolving into actual abuse. That sounds harsher than I mean it... I guess I mean someone who has high expectations of me, but is there for me when things to wrong.
-Styx

Devotion. Someone who is subservient to me, even in some small way. Someone concerned with my happiness. Someone to have just a small amount of power over while the rest of the world spins its ordered chaos around us. Power is so hard to come by for the honest. Please don't take this the wrong way - honestly, I want a partner, not a servant - but is a little control too much to ask?

Boys? I, um, I guess I'd, um, I guess...
It's just hypothetical. You don't have to worry.
Um... I don't, I don't know...
-Wraith

We will not find the ideal partner. This we know.
But say you had to choose...
I am [Guardian]. It is not my place.

My girl? She'd better be nice, is all. Reasonable, not too nagging, not too distant. Clingy I can deal with. Not a total pushover, but someone I can have some influence on. Not afraid to give a little of herself. Seriously though, my standards are low, so I think I'd probably be happy with any piece of tail who's not a total bitch.
-Lank

I dunno. What I really want is a guy... or, yeah a I guess a girl... who I can just share things with. One who's smart and nice and kind of crazy in the same way I am. Someone I can just be myself with and not have to explain myself. That would be nice. For me.
-Prophet

OMG, I want a boy who'll treat me like a princess. I want to be chased, and admired, and, like, adored. Course, Skeleton isn't really into that, so we'll end up with a girl, which I am totally not cool with, but they don't listen to what I want. It would be cool if she was like my BFF, but no. I'm not out often enough for that. I'll just keep dreaming of my perfect guy...
-Whisk

How far would you go... physically?

Kissing, I guess. I'm hoping she'd stop me if I tried to go further, but wouldn't push me away completely.
-Styx

Physically? You disgust me.
-IMPACT

[WANT!]
-the haich

We didn't dare ask Wraith.

As far as was necessary.
-Skeleton
We are frightened of the prospect of finding out what he means.

*blank stare*
Clarence

You know how far I'd go... too far, probably.
-Lank

Can't say I know. I've never done anything more than hold hands.
-Prophet

All the way... if he was cute enough ;)
-Whisk

What song describes you?

Depends on my mood. On a good day, That Green Gentleman; on a bad day, Dead Boy's Poem. Runs In The Family as well.
-Styx

Debatable. I have yet to find a piece of music that adequately describes my... frustrations. GS Screamer's Bowser the Shredder is a good start.
-IMPACT

It is unknown if the haich understands the concept of music at all.

Half Jack. Defnitly.
-Wraith

Irrelevant. Music will not incidentally match a person's [character] to any great extent. However, for your purposes, I will [select] Lux Aeterna. [And/or] perhaps Lux Libera Nos.
-Skeleton

Hiphopopotamous vs the Rhymenocerous!
-Clarence

It's a stupid thought, but I've kind of always hoped that some day an ex of mine would listen to My Immortal and think of me. For me, though, I'll say Beauty of the Beast or Animal I Have Become.
-Lank

Not really sure. I don't listen to much music. I'll say Rock Lobster.
-Prophet

Slide, the Dresden Dolls. I'm ashamed but it's so much like me.
-Whisk

Accepting requests for questions...

Yay! Really liked this post, and the last one too. Some really good stuff you have here. All of you!

No, there are no ideal partners. Skeleton is so wise... but sometimes so clueless. What do *we* want in a partner? Someone strong, independent, honest... and flawed. What? Flawed? Why would we want anyone flawed? That'd be a good one to think through.

And I do love asking questions, so I'm very happy that you're taking requests. I have a few. Okay, three questions:

1. What value/ideal do you uphold the most?

2. What do you fear the most?

3. What would you find at the Crossroads?
