If someone wants to talk to you , what are the steps they should proceed to reach your acceptance of giving them a portion of your time to listen to ?

Just knock on my door and ask if I have some time to spare to talk.

What is your favorite subject in school?

I don't think my idea of "school" is the same as yours...
but some of the stuff I learned from my old master included:
Critical Thinking
Survival Skills
Self-defense
DIY Skills
Cooking
Marksmanship
Tracking
Trapping Skills
Animal Handling
Gardening Skills
and Oratory among other things... but I had to learn how to drive on my own accord, because she had motion sickness.

How much did you lurk your crushes social media before talking to them?

I am not really a social media guy, nor I have had a crush like that.
I have been too busy trying to survive to even ponder about that kind of stuff.

If you could have one wish come true right now, what would you wish for?

I think that doing things with your own hands has its own value so I am not really the kind of person that wishes for stuff... but if I had to choose, it would probably be something I cannot attain by myself alone.
The only thing that I can think off the top of my head is a better place to live / circumstances so we can ALL live in harmony and peace... is that alright as a wish?

What type of music are you into?

It depends on my mood.
...lately I have been listening to the humming and singing of the smallhorns. When they are happy, they sometimes start to sing and is quite adorable to behold.
Depending on the mood and the kind of smallhorn that sings, the song is quite different.
Sometimes is a lullaby, others an upbeat humming, etc.

What simple thing makes you happier on poor days?

Have a really good warm meal after a long trip. Enjoy a nice time relaxing on my hammock or my rocking chair. Listen to the voices of the hornmothers in the distance, the occasional hummings of the haremhorns and the smallhorns playing, napping and eating to their hearts content. Smell the earthy scent in the air mixed with the sweetness of my place.
As if spellbound by fairies inside their forest, I just close my eyes and take everything in. The time seems to slow down as I fall asleep... and when I wake up I feel like new.
... I often wake up with a pile of smallhorns taking their own nap on top of me, or waiting for me to wake up for any reaons, but their cuteness just adds to the experience.
Alternatively, you can relax by spoiling a smallhorn until it falls asleep (I am guilty of doing it without noticing more often that I would like to admit).

Do you like handmade soap?

Is not that I like it or not.
I have to make my own soap or use organic unscented soap while I am here.
I usually make a long block of soap as soon as the previous one is ready to use, so I never run out.
I only use the one I got from the city on emergencies.
Plus, I know a few other tricks to get rid of my scent if my soap gets ruined somehow. Hunting is part of survival after all.
Never give your prey a chance, no matter how insignificant it may be.

If you had a boat, what would you name it?

SS Trailblazer, SS Survivor or SS Glazed.
If you want to mix the names you could go with SS Glazed Trailblazer or SS Glazed Survivor.
... though, I doubt a boat would be useful here. MAYBE an icebreaker ship, but even so...
I would prefer a spaceship, or a heavy ground vehicle to withstand any storm that comes my way (or worse stuff), and fill it with cargo to my heart's content.

Have you changed shampoo or deoderant brands since you've formed your little herd? I have a theory that is what creates a micro-herd for himehorns in no-horn society. If i'm right then changing them will upset the himehorns

Formed my little herd? I didn't form anything, I merely moved with them after they accepted my good intentions and sealed a pact.
As for the shampoo and deodorant... it was a quite difficult situation at first because any strong smell would bother them.
In my travels I usually don't have the means to take a good old bath time, so I just use whatever I have at hand to make my own hygiene products. If I really need them and I can't wait to get to my destination.
So, it took me quite a bit of trial and error, but now I can manege with what I have in the caves.
Also, take into account that you have to be somewhat consistent in what you use. Remember that their sense of smell is very important and it can confuse then if you are not with them all the time.
In my case, it doesn't really matter, since the smell of the "cakery" is impregnated in my clothes even after washing them. If they can tell my very own smell, I have no idea. I have never asked.

If you could have dinner with anyone, who would you choose?

Well, I already had dinner today, but I would choose @himehorn
She has been working very hard lately, so she deserves a little treat. So, when I come back from my supply trip, I will make her a good dinner.
I just hope that I don't forget about it, jaja.

Would you rather live your entire life in a virtual reality where all your wishes are granted or in the real world?

How do you even know if "this" is the real world?
What if we all are just a daydream of a bored witch.
... not that it would stop me from living and making cakes everyday... well, unless she makes me... but that is totally different story.

What's your opinion on the apple sauce substitution in baking? It's incredibly hit or miss imho

Roombachan’s Profile PhotoRoomba chan
Mmmh... it all depends on what are you making.
As you might be aware of, applesauce can replace eggs and oils, but you have to take into account the kind of result you are going to get from that exchange of ingredients, and what do you want to achieve with it. Like texture, consistency and flavor.
Flavor is very peculiar subject, because you are not going to magically eliminate the apple flavor, it may or may not be strong, but it will be there.
Chemically speaking, apples are on the alkaline side of the pH scale, so it also changes the flavor if you mix it with something on the acid side. So, you have to make a good combination for it.
in those aspects, it really is "hit or miss" as you said, but as long as you know what you are doing and get some practice, it should come out just fine.

What do the Musclehorns do around there

If you mean around the "cakery" as they call it... not much.
They just look menacing while on guard duty, help when I come back from a supply trip and sometimes help with some construction.
If you mean around here, in the caves in general... I dunno, the usual, I guess?
Play in the mud when no one is looking, look/hunt for food, wrestle, obey orders from the haremhorns and Leader, get scolded for playing in the mud, get rough scrubbing from the haremhorns, etc, etc.

Would you be able to live without sugar?

Sure I can, I mostly use natural sweeteners for most of my recipies, like stevia, honey, syrup, fruits, etc.
That includes the himehorn's cakes, so they can too.
I only use it when the recipe won't allow substitutes for it.
When I first came here I didn't know much about cooking, now I think I can work as a chef and/or a nutritionist if I wanted...
Though, I do enjoy eating more than cooking, I like the process and their smiles sure are worth the effort.
