[OOC] Random Facts Meme
Organizing my headcanon.
• As far as Loser is concerned, Screw alternates helpless affection and EXTREME. LEVELS. OF FRUSTRATION. He knows for a fact that he understands Loser better than anyone else, both due to their shared experiences and accidentally accessing his memories. So while he's perfectly aware that Loser is not a nice man, he's also aware that he was a nice kid, and is possibly the only person who hates GERA more than Screw. Thus, Screw has NO IDEA why Loser keeps working for GERA and would like to punch him in the teeth for it. But afterwards he'd apologize and offer to take Loser home with him.
• He's considered removing the GERA ID tattoo on his arm. However, there's the little problem of actual tattoo removal services being both expensive and likely to turn him in, so he's decided that if he ever wants it off, he'll have to do it himself. In the past he's gotten as far as actually taking a knife to the skin, but common sense always gets the better of him before he can make a cut.
• Sometimes he wakes up with Snow White's real name on his lips. He's so close to remembering it in those moments that he can almost taste it, but it always disappears before he can get a real hold on it.
• The above never happens for his own name.
• Despite the fact that Screw can't remember anything of his own past, he still has memories of things unrelated to himself. He could, for example, tell you Batman's secret identity, when Columbus sailed to America, and the quadratic equation. Ask him his brother's name, though, and it's a complete blank.
• If he tries to ignore his psychic powers for too long, he gets these awful migraines. As a result, he has the habit of either using them in small ways throughout the day or in larger ones at home. Possibly to beat up Batsu when he's made a mess of the apartment again.
• He fell in love with Snow White before he ever talked her. The window to her room overlooked the park where he used to go to sit and smoke, and he'd watch her on her balcony. She'd watch back, and sometimes their eyes would catch. They were both out there a lot, him because he didn't have anything better to do, and her because it seemed like the balcony was an escape from her parents' arguments. They never actually "met" until the kidnapping, and even then they only had a brief time together before they were killed. But he knows she loved him too, because she showed him with her mind.
• GERA has done a spectacular job of wiping out all traces of his existence even from their own computer files. Screw knows they still have something on him, but he hasn't been able to find it yet. He's determined to locate even the smallest clue, like the location where he died or his birthday. Even if it means he's going to have to infiltrate GERA proper instead of hacking their systems from afar.
• For all he bitches about Batsu, the fact that he's family counts for a whole lot. Batsu's loud, annoying, and more than a little crazy, but he's blood, and besides that, the two of them understand each other on a level deeper than Screw'd like to admit.
• There was that time when Batsu exploded the toaster and Screw deprived him of movement and speaking privileges for the next three hours, though.
• There's a scar on his left knee. He knows this because one of the first things he did when he escaped from GERA was to finally get a good look at his body in a mirror and re-learn the nuances of it. Where the scar came from, he has no idea, but in his mind he's decided that he probably fell out of a tree when he was little.
• No matter how many comments he gets about his name, he's never going to change it. Probably not even if he somehow learns what it used to be. Screw is just who he is, now.
