questioning you.







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!

The best I could.

[ She always does. It's just not always enough. ]

Why?

apologies for the late reply!

Curiosity’s sake, nothing more.

[They don’t need to dance around the not-good-enough issue.]

Though it leads to the question of where you would draw the line...?

[Are they talking about Life and Death, or the ultimate ice cream sundae? The world may never know...]

No worries!

I find circles more my style.

[ Handy, for cutting open windows.

Or for drawing around herself and the people that are hers and that is the only line that matters. ]


Do you ask yourself questions like this?

[ Because THAT sounds annoying. ]

There’s a saying about circles and lines being one, from certain points of view.

[Just tossing that out there.]

Constantly. Do you not?

[ Selina shrugs one shoulder minimally: ] Sounds like it's from a fortune cookie.

[ She shakes her head. ]

No. [ This may or may not be the truth. ] What-ifs are a waste of time. There are way more fun hypotheticals. Such as: If you could be doing anything right now, what would it be?

It might be.

[It’s not like he’s got the most reliable memory, after all. Sometimes that’s even an advantage.]

Suppose some people think they are. And some people just don’t see how the one could lead into the other. But right now depends: why do you ask?

[ A slow smile, confident to the point of predatory. ]

Why does that matter?

[That look doesn't phase him at all. But neither of them have walked away from the game, which is saying something.]

Might change my answer. Might not. Only one way for you to find out, isn't there?

[ She's amused. ]

I doubt that. [ After all, how is she supposed to know what he would have answered? Though there are other perfectly valid meanings to what she's saying as well. ] What are my options?
