"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.

This is gonna sound really crazy to an elite athlete at the top of the game but--what about outside the game? Does that exist for you?

[ okay, okay. He gets how it sounds but— he’s not wrong about how he’s performing. And outside of that? Well. ]

Most my life relates to hockey. I also enjoy Real Estate?

[ not a very emotional an endeavor, either ]

[farcry]

[ have a skeptical look, Shane. how does one enjoy real estate?]

As in--you like it when your places increase in value? [ snort. ] Kidding. I get it, but one athlete to another, it's gonna make its way out somehow, Hollander. You gotta find an outlet, or else it'll creep out in your game.

[ He sees that look but he does not understand it, because it is very obvious how someone would enjoy real estate - there's managing portfolios, crafting long term strategies and plans, looking at schematics of buildings and investment options. Shane's confused how other people don't enjoy real estate ]

What do you play?

[ It's the safest response, for the moment. Harder to explain how he alternates between letting it out and definitely repressing the entirety of what he feels ]

And why does it sound like you're speaking from experience?
