🔪THE FEAR MEME 🩸



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.

Seems a terrible waste of some very useful skills.

How is turning people into sheep useful? Outside of the sarcasm?

I'd say that's fairly obvious. A sheep can't hit me with an axe.

... A sheep can't hit you with an axe. [ Ahem. ]

Let me ask you — if you remember, do you suppose the you that has existed since the Nautiloid will cease to be?

[ You are such a wuss, Jonah. ]

I - [ She stops, frowning. ] ...it's...possible. Perhaps.

Ah. I see. [ This is not leading up to a helpful revelation about nature vs. nurture. He's just nosy. ]

I know you've no interest in my proselytizing, but I truly believe that knowledge is something to be sought, not feared. Perhaps learning the source of your... inclinations will be the key to stopping them, in the end.
