2 5 9 (SECOND PART OF THIS MOST IMPORTANT) 15 26 34 hehehehe

and E H

2) How easy is it for your character to laugh? Easier than he makes it seem. He laughs a lot on the inside. Laughing out loud just isn't the cowboy way.

5) How easy is it to earn their mistrust? Actually pretty difficult. He's naturally a little suspicious of anyone he doesn't know, but most hosts were also programmed to form a bond with guests very quickly, to help their immersion. You basically have to be prolonged-ly terrible to him from the start.

9) Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word? NEVER.
(It was obviously 'motherfucker'. Ford completed him, told him to bring himself online, and Lawrence opened his eyes, looked at him, and said: Motherfucker.)

15) How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first? Everything he has ever said was written by someone else and programmed into him as an appropriate response to specific stimuli. Even now, his words are improvisations of previously written lines

He's not consciously aware of this. There's no way around it, unless you turn off his character mode, at which point he wouldn't be Lawrence anymore.

I'm pulling this headcanon from the scene where, even though Maeve is awake, her "lines" can be pulled up on a tablet as she says them, and James Delos' fidelity tests, where he will always have the same response, because that is what makes him him.

26) What causes them to feel dread? Firing squads.

EXTREMELY COOL HEADCANON

and also valid

34) How do they treat the things their friends come to them excited about? Are they supportive? For the most part: supportive; happy for them. There are some things he just doesn't understand still (example: books. Happy you're happy but it's some dead trees and bullshit),and he has a particular view of some things due to his past and construction

(Like: barge events. He's been someone else already, thanks). He is still interested in hearing other people's perspectives on these things though. He does genuinely want to understand how other people think and why.

E) Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you? Mostly. I'd probably find him a little too serious and he wouldn't find me serious enough, but that's easily solved by drinking.

AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH

H) What trait do you admire most? Even if it's a programmed belief/ambition, both versions of him really do believe in the revolution, and equality of people.

OH BTW since there's a port coming up, william would ask for permission before yeeting himself

Also he can drink a lot.

Lawrence like: I don't like it but I can't stop you. THE WILLIAM STORY.

IF HE DOESN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH WILLIAM LOSING ALL MEMORY OF HIM

william will refrain

(unless it's a really cool port, then I will intervene and he'll fall overboard accidentally AHAHAHHHAHAHH and everyone can not believe him when he insists that's what happened)

He does hate that but he gets the irony. He also wouldn't try to control William. Like it's obviously impossible/HE LIKES HIM WILD AND FREE

AHAAHAHAHAHAHAH
