This is canon-esque, or, well, they all live in Neil's house in Minnesota, and they work mainly in art and writing, though they join forces to make music in a group they call the Mindless Chemical Dolls.
This is their china pattern, because they all had to come to a sort of compromise about color and kept not agreeing (Gerard wanted black, Lyn-Z wanted something with red, which Amanda sort of agreed to, because blood is always fun, and Neil wanted skeletons), when finally Neil's daughters gave up on them all and bought them this one.
It's weird, the way they work, because four people should be impossible, let alone four people who are artistic and sometimes high-strung and often in need of support. And it's true that when all of them are inspired at the same time, fighting over studio space and forgetting to eat and demanding attention and critique, sometimes it does get kind of impossible.
But when Gerard storms off, Neil or Lyn-Z will eventually follow him, drawing him out with good-natured jokes (or sex), and when Lyn-Z goes a little nuts because she's been blocked for weeks, okay, weeks, Amanda will pin her down and bite her way up Lyn-Z's thighs, licking until she's quieted down and then gotten loud again. And Neil can nearly always be distracted from his artistic woes by any of the other three starting to make out in the room. Amanda is actually the most difficult one to draw out, because her insecurities run so deep, but mostly they've learned to pile on her and tell her, "Hey, hey, we love you, we're here," until she hears them.
