A QUESTION FOR A QUESTION


YOU MAY KNOW EACH OTHER ALREADY - OR YOU MAY NOT. UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, YOU'RE NOW PASSING THE TIME ASKING EACH OTHER QUESTIONS. IT'S A GAME! A QUESTION FOR A QUESTION. YOU START OFF ASKING YOUR OPPONENT A QUESTION OF CHOICE AND IF THEY ANSWER IT, THEY'RE ALLOWED TO ASK YOU A QUESTION IN TURN. THE RULES ARE SIMPLE, ONLY AS LONG AS YOU ANSWER THE OTHER PERSON'S QUESTIONS ARE YOU ALLOWED TO ASK QUESTIONS YOURSELF, BUT THERE IS NO EXPECTATION OF TRUTHFULNESS HERE, LIE IF YOU MUST OR WANT, JUST KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING.

How to play -
1. Comment with your character's name, fandom and preference.
2. If you want, leave a question in the comment field that your character is asking their opponent. Or don't. I'm not the cops.
3. Pick other characters to question and have fun!

Why not choose joy over calm, then?

Perhaps not at first, but certainly within the bounds of my childhood.

Have you ever believed you were a monster?

[etics]

Calm is not an emotion. It is a state of being, a subdual.

I believed I was unnatural. A non-necessity. 'A monster' was the impression given by your family?

[annarr]

Joy can be a state of being. And, if you use it right, it can subdue all sorts of other things.

Sorry, a "non-necessity?"

[etics]

My people do not encourage postulation using personal ideals. You should not look to me to reason them.

I was created in part to verify the viability of hybrid children, both biologically and culturally. You did not answer my question.

[annarr]

Because it's rude? Or because you genuinely cannot?

What's the other part, then?

[and here he is, still not answering the question,]

[etics]

Because it is unproductive, and this does not contribute any value. I decline to answer further on the topic of my birth.

[annarr]

Isn't classing it "unproductive" and "without value" a matter of ideals as well?

My mother never made me feel like a monster. Wrong, but, you know. Hers.

[etics]

A matter of logic. Did you arrive at the label of monster yourself?

[annarr]

And if I find it valuable, that... doesn't count?

Oh, no. Through my father.

[etics]

Personal valuation does not typically impart weight on fact. Arguing the substitution of any particular emotion for a state of discipline requires building a shared foundation of fact. We do not share culture or species. Creating context would be time consuming.

If you find it satisfying, assume you would have been successful.

[annarr]

And cultural valuations? States of discipline you have yet to attain?

Why ask questions of anyone if you aren't seeking context?

[etics]

Perhaps these are questions for you to practice bioconditional and inductive logic upon.
