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!

[ Sister Imperator watched her wordlessly until such time that the silence became uncomfortable.

Then - ]

Pray. And hope that he hears you.

[springgirl]

The last time I did that for anyone no one heard me. I have no way of knowing if this time will be any different.

[Cora isn't religious, really -- or at least she wasn't a couple of years ago. But maybe it went hand-in-hand with trying to be self-sufficient. If you don't believe in something it can't let you down.]

...But I'll try.

[sisterimperator]

If no one answered then you may have been knocking on the wrong door.

[springgirl]

Maybe. All I knew then was that either I wasn't getting out or I had to pull myself out. How do I know that he'll answer?

[sisterimperator]

He won't unless there's something you can offer in return.

There's always rituals and sacrifice if you want to move up in the queue.

[springgirl]

How do I... go about that, then? I've never done any kind of ritual or sacrifice. I'm not scared or anything like that, just need to know what I'd be getting into.

[sisterimperator]

It can be as simple or as elaborate as you want, but it's fairly straightforward. One way is to draw your summoning circle in the shape of a pentacle and stand in it. If you can get lamb's blood from the butcher, that is effective in drawing the circle - however, simple chalk will do. You can pour the blood into the circle, or use your own blood - menstrual blood is fine. Then call on him and make your bargains.

Make sure you're talking to him, though, and not his demons. They can trick you into thinking they can give you what you want, but really, they're just peons.

ritual 101 I am DELIGHTED

[springgirl]

[She's both surprised and pleased to get a detailed answer, but also faintly amused at the thought of getting a lamb. Rituals, sacrifices. Doing such a thing had never really occurred to her. But she was telling the truth-- maybe the idea should scare her, and it doesn't. Real fear happened at the bottom of a lake and no silent prayers to any kind of higher power were answered. She'd been left alone to fend for herself. If there is any chance that she could place her faith in something, someone... maybe it's worth a shot.]

I'm not afraid of a little blood. Or even a lot. [Her chin lifts, not in defiance but something else.] How will I know if I'm talking to him and not a demon?

evangelization amirite 😌

[sisterimperator]

[ Sister Imperator's smile was sharp. ]

Ask their name.

totally 😂

[springgirl]

[She manages to be faintly amused, a smile tugging at her lips. This is no normal interaction, but there's no part of her that feels uncomfortable.]

Of course. Obviously. I'll let you know how it goes, then? When we get the chance to talk again.

[sisterimperator]

Sure.

And you are?

[springgirl]

Shit, right -- I'm Cora. I promise I'm not usually so bad at forgetting to introduce myself, just... when the conversation keeps going.

[sisterimperator]

[ She inclined her head in acknowledgement. ]

I am Sister Imperator.

[springgirl]

I'll remember, Sister. Something tells me if I get to know you better I'll like you even more.
