listen to your heart 😌
"Can You Handle Your Emotions?"
Emotions are... eh. We all have them, whether we want to or not. Some people have control over their emotions, and some people let their emotions control them.
Where does your character fall on this spectrum?
More importantly, what's their relationship with their emotions like? Do they bury everything deep, deep down inside, or are they the first one to cry over a sappy movie? Do they even know how they feel about what's going on inside?
Pretty meta stuff.
- No blank top-levels.
- Instead, characters are to respond to the proposed question: can you handle your emotions? / are you in touch with your feelings?
- Get deep. Look within. Hear, think feel... or don't.
The General / Mr. Villain's Day Off
Except when I need a break and something interferes with my ability to take that break. [No one has rage like a stressed man deprived of his moment of chill.]
Otherwise, I am very centered.

Are vacations really that useful?
1/4
I find it difficult to keep up, sometimes. I do admit.
First I have to talk to the shareholders and after the shareholders remind me for the twenty-thousandth time that the entire economy of the Homeworld depends on our success, I try to talk to my coworker and he ignores me.
2/4
3/4
AND THEN WHO DO I MEET ON THE TRAIN!? The guy MAGICALLY ENGINEERED entirely with the purpose of ruining my DAY and we have to KICK EACH OTHER'S ASS.
4/4 Finally! Sorry about that.
Truly, humanity would have long since perished if it had not created ice cream and curry buns.
...I apologize for that. In short, yes. I need breaks. I can't have a full vacation, so I couldn't tell you. But I do need breaks.

[He finally gets it. Why Lucifer's own identical outbursts give Lord Diavolo the giant shit-eating grin, the booming way-too-loud laugh, and such life from the chaos. Lucifer can't help grinning like an idiot.]
[The General is quite literally the best blend of himself and Lord Diavolo. No wonder Lucifer relaxes so much around him!]
And then when you get home there's a loud idiot yelling about how his special ice cream he hid behind the Little Devil Mango Slushy and Babel Parfait got eaten by a thief, and you have to string one of them up, and just as the migraine starts kicking in, another idiot is downloading too many e-books at once, crashing the internet, and before you can even sit down to watch pandas playing on slides, the biggest idiot of them all unleashes five ghosts in the house and you have to round them all up or no one will get sleep or shut the hell up.
[BEST FRIEND.]
[Lucifer has your back all the way.]

Yes, but I have finally evaded the pest ridden post work hours by hiding the location of my apartment!
[He just outright villain laughs in triumph over that.]
None of them know where I live! There will be no surprise Rooney in my apartment! No Ashe begging for attention on my balcony! No Muller, desperate in her thirst for violence. There won't even be a camera phone activated so they can attempt to extrapolate the location. I have thwarted them and am free! ....For a few hours every day.
[He grabs Lucifer's shoulders.] It's such a small victory but with it, I can never be conquered.

[He will live vicariously, because Lucifer wouldn't want to give up on his brothers, even at the cost of his sanity, but there are days it might just cost him that.]
Do you want to go to the zoo and see if they have pandas?
[... He has a PERFECTLY reasonable explanation for this. But this is basically how he is with his brothers.... and how Lord Diavolo is with him if he thinks about it.]
