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!

My friends keep telling me it is, so I want to try. But I still wonder about it all the time. Why don't you think so?

[onlyforgiveness]

You have kindhearted friends.

...to me it is not as much a question of being acceptable, instead I wonder whether or not it is even possible.

How does one live with the guilt?

[ancientweapon]

I'm trying to figure that out too! But mostly I just focus on keeping my friends safe and sometimes that helps me not think about it so much. My friends want me to be happy and I don't want to disappoint them.

Did you do something that makes you feel too guilty?

[onlyforgiveness]

I did. Thus I would suggest heeding your friends over me; it is clear they care deeply for you.

Though it is my hope that one may atone for their sins...protecting your friends, your loved ones--will you continue to do this, even through the guilt?

[ancientweapon]

Of course I will! I think if I didn't, that would be the worst thing I could do. They're the ones who accept me no matter what I've done or what I am.
Do you have friends like that?

[onlyforgiveness]

That is well. In such case...I must rescind my original answer, and pray you will be able to live happily.

[ Dion falls quiet for a long beat, silently considering that last question. ]

As for myself, the only way I could protect my friend was to send him away. Was that a mistake, do you think...?

[ancientweapon]

[ If he could smile, well, besides the one permanently part of his face, he would. The next question would yield a more thoughtful expression, though, the thoughtfulness evident in his voice. ]

Um... I think if it was to protect him, it could never be a mistake. It's always good to keep your friends safe, even if it means you have to push them away. But I hope you'll reunite soon! What did you have to protect him from?

Your Emil is so cute...!

[onlyforgiveness]

It felt far closer to cruelty than kindness...

What I chose to do--what needed to be done for me to atone--it would only have hurt him more, I feared. That is what I wanted to protect him from. I sent him away that he might have the chance to begin anew, for I did not intend to return.

[ But then this place has made it all muddled and, well... ]

Promise me you will not commit the same folly?

Awh, thanks! ;-;

[ancientweapon]

Oh... Did you tell him that? I think it's only cruel if you didn't. Although... I think planning not to return is more cruel.

So I think I can promise I wouldn't plan not to return if I had to do that! My friends would miss me, and I don't want them to be sad unnecessarily.

But why did you need to atone? Can I ask you about that?
