event: return of the census
[It's that time again, Mayfield! Early in the morning, the Postman will make his usual rounds. But today, he'll be dropping off some extra special letters...letters that some of you may find quite familiar. In every mailbox are a bundle of census forms, one for each non-drone person (and pet) in the household.
The census appears to be an ordinary form, although the last number of the date is smudged beyond recognition on every form, and there are some odd questions. Upon seeing one of the forms, your character will feel compelled to fill one out and to be absolutely truthful. If your character cannot read or write, their form will be automatically filled out for them. As soon as they are filled out, the forms disappear.]

19. What is your most embarrassing memory? So okay this one time when I was a kid I was ice skating right? So we were at this pond that got frozen over and my aunt is watching me and I'm all like "Look at me! I'm the BEST ice skater!" And the thing is I was. Like you think there are some fancy pants professionals and all but as a kid I was miles above those assholes. You better believe it.
So there I am tearing up the ice and I'm about to do this twirl when all of a sudden my skate hits the ice wrong - there was something wrong with that patch of ice I guess - and WHUMP! Down I go right on my little ass.
It kinda hurt, and it was the first time I fell. And I was young. Like really really young. Like just barely out of the "I can use basic motor functions now" young. Okay maybe that's an exaggeration but not too much. I mean, it's hard. Explaining age the way you humans do and
Look I cried alright? I cried cause I fell and then my aunt came and picked me up and it was the first of two times I ever cried.

For All Persons:
25. Is there an afterlife and how do you know this isn't it? (maximum 100 words)
See I know this isn't the afterlife. Because it's like the good book says
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Oh. You know it makes me wonder.
