"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.

Because we are, Dex my dear, we are very much outliers. Nothing wrong with not being categorical and personally I love things that don't fit neatly into boxes.

[He's very supportive of chaos.]

[ricochetingbullets]

Guess that explains why you've managed to stay interested in me this whole long.

[And vice versa. He has become absolutely fascinated with Victor in all the best ways possible. He scoots in just a little closer to him at the thought.]

[zsaszy]

[And he's just going to throw an arm around Dex and reel him in. They are very different in the way they express themselves. For his part, Zsasz doesn't lose control of his emotions, he simply sees no reason to restrain them.]

One reason, but there's plenty about you that I admire.

Mind telling me a few more?

[Dex leans in, kissing him on the side of the neck as incentive to do so.]

[zsaszy]

[Of course Zsasz doesn't need incentive, no more than Dex asking him, but he does turn to Dex and return the attention with a more substantial kiss. Not the usual peck on the lips or cheek.]

No, I don't mind [It's not a hardship, but also the things he admires are definitely from an atypical perspective.] You're extremely focused and disciplined when you're committed to something and that makes you exceptional in precision based, high-stakes tasks. You're loyal and it's not performative, it's sincere, intense, but sincere. You're honest about who you are, at least you are with me. You are very determined and you do not give up easily and that's something we share. Let me know if you need more, because I have plenty.

[Dex's eyes light up at bot the kiss and then what Victor describes him as being like, making him look more like an actual person with real emotions than a wolf trying to hide in sheep's clothing.]

I'd like to be modest enough to say you can stop but I'd love it if you want to continue on.
