"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.

You a spiritual kinda guy? Can't say I've heard of it myself.

[bonecannon]

[ A spiritual guy... hm. ]

Yeah, you could say that.

[brokeassgoing]

Like, Buddhist or something?

[bonecannon]

Or somethin' covers it.

How 'bout you? Spiritual or nah?

[brokeassgoing]

Uh-huh. [not satisfied by that, but whatever]

Not really, know. I mean there's gotta be ghosts and bad juju, but I dunno if anyone up there gives a shit.

[bonecannon]

Well, there's a few up there who do, but not enough. Probably.

Why're you sayin' there's gotta be ghosts?

[ what who said ghosts did you just call him a ghost dude that's crazy wow ]

[brokeassgoing]

You think so? How come? A few close calls? [he can imagine]

Cause creepy shit happens.

[bonecannon]

More than I can count. [ Which is not why he thinks so but let's not go into that okay. ]

Creepy shit? You bein' haunted?

[ and is it a hollow oh fuck oh shit. ]

[brokeassgoing]

Damn....yeah, I getcha. [he does look rough, like he's been through a lot]

No, no, nothing's floating or moving on it's own. Just. I think shit's haunting the narrative.

[bonecannon]

I bet you do. [ Man's got an eyepatch and all. Seems like his calls have been hell of a lot closer than Renji's. ]

Uh... [ Renji looks around, as if he can see "the narrative" somewhere and the shit presumably ghosting all over it. ] What?

[brokeassgoing]

You know, haunted by the narrative. Like, something unspoken but-- there. It's not a literal ghost or fart, dude.

[bonecannon]

[ Unspoken but there... Not a literal ghost... ]

Are you sure it ain't in your head?

[brokeassgoing]

[he snorts, rolls his eye]

No, it's not in my head.

[bonecannon]

[ Hmmmmmmmm... ]

Shouldn't that thing be exorcised from the narrative then?

[brokeassgoing]

.....How can you do that? I don't know if a bible's power enough for that.

[bonecannon]

Not with a Bible!!

With y'know. [ Gestures to the sword at his side. Because that's. better??? ]

[brokeassgoing]

[eyes the sword]

You're gonna fight ghosts with a sword? Thought that was a prop.

[bonecannon]

O-Oi!! Zabimaru ain't a prop!!

What kinda loser would walk around with a fake sword?!

[brokeassgoing]

.......The kind who has a bandana collection, perhaps. Though, Zabimaru's a damn cool name, I'll give you that.

[bonecannon]

What's wrong with a bandana collection... That's cool.

[ Says the man with a bandana collection and thinks it's really cool.

And somewhere in his inner world, there's a big monkey-snake spiritual embodiment of his sword who's got a little pep in their step right now. ]

[brokeassgoing]

Do you rotate them every day to get them all worn??

[bonecannon]

No, I got a system called "wearing whatever one I feel like". Then they all get worn eventually.

[brokeassgoing]

What if you got 1000 and it takes years???

[bonecannon]

Well I don't got 1000, so that ain't a problem!!

Anyway, even if I did, I got the time!

[brokeassgoing]

Then how many do ya got? 100? How's anyone got the time, I barely have time to wipe my nose these days....
