There are two kinds of fears, rational and irrational. Being afraid of realtors is an irrational fear.
— Lemony Snicket, A Series of Unfortunate Events
HOW TO PLAY:
Comment with your character. In the body of your top-level, your character is forced to admit their biggest, darkest fear. Maybe they assumed no one was listening, or perhaps this is the work of a magical truth serum. Either way, it's out in the open now.
Other characters can offer comfort, judgement, or probing psychological questions to delve into the root of this.
An especially evil character might look for ways to exploit this newfound information... but you wouldn't do that, would you?
Anything involving images, especially spooky images, should be linked and tagged.
Every day, people tell me I'm a fool for believing in people and giving second chances. I guess my biggest fear is that some day I'll realize they're right.
Death. [ He doesn't look particularly comfortable admitting this, especially not when he clarifies. ] Being at the mercy of something over which I have no control.
... being controlled. Being helpless. Being leashed again. [ there's a sharp, acrid kind of bitterness to her words, resenting that she's even having to admit the sentiment. ] I'm afraid I'll wake up and everything I've accomplished, everything I've won for myself will be gone. I'll be back in a cage, back to begging someone else to be granted the privilege of a sip of air or a glimpse of sunlight. If that happened, I don't know what I'd become to free myself again.
Or, I don't know, becoming a broodmother, I suppose.
[Fenris prickles with unease to agree with someone so whole heartedly. The similarity to a certain champion doesn't catch him at first if only because he's busy brooding about the whole idea.]
Feral, in most cases. I am not above having done so to gain back my freedom.
Hear fucking hear. [ That sounds like a round of shots if he's ever heard one. He slides one over, holding his own up to suggest throwing it back. ] How do you shake that one?
