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.
To have human level intelligence my brain needs to have human level complexity. It would be just as dangerous to me to start deleting parts of my memories as it would be to do the same thing to you.
Also: My fears are PERFECTLY logical thank you very much. All of human civilization is a byproduct of our ongoing war with insects.
[Trip is just Like This, he also told Iris (a human!) her fear of Ice types was illogical... ^^;;]
... point taken. [He certainly looked frightened! Please don't delete his memories, he has some very precious ones...]
I... think you might've been taught history in an, uh... unorthodox way? [Bugs weren't the most pressing issue throughout human history, as far as he could tell...]
Unfortunately Robo is also Like This. His fear of bugs is ENTIRELY irrational
You say that, because you've never been lost in the Amazon River Basin. Swarms of ants everywhere you go! Mosquitos the size of your hand! More beetles than science has names for! It truly is enemy territory.
[the both of them 🤝 being rather neurotic (but in different ways)]
That sounds pretty useful! But, do you need, like... reception? Sorry, I can't help but wonder... what'd happen if you were out in the wilderness somewhere.

That sounds tough. I don't really like huge bugs either...
[Who would?! ... well, maybe people who love Bug type Pokemon...]
How long were you lost there?

Like...I dunno. A day. I have GPS so I don't stay lost for too long, generally.
