OOC Memes: When Writer's Block Attacks

[blond-bondshell.livejournal.com]

Wishbone's chocolate made me remember an old meme that had been kind of fun.

Your character has been force-fed a truth potion and tied to a chair. There's no hope for escape, so don't bother trying. Yes, even for you, Bond. I see you working the knots. No, Lezard, you can't turn us all into tribbles.

Both characters and muns can ask questions. The characters have to answer truthfully, but if they're skilled in verbal gymnastics, they can try to talk their way out of answering. Make a post with the names of the characters up for play, and we'll interrogate them suitably.

If he was a god, why would he need a notebook? Why would he have to worry about being caught by the police?

[righteous-pen.livejournal.com]

I - don't know. I've never claimed to believe him omnipotent. ...although unconsciously I do.

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

Isn't omnipotence the definition of a god? And if he was omnipotent, why would he have needed your help?

[righteous-pen.livejournal.com]

Not necessarily. It depends on the religion. And doesn't every god have followers?

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

Even after the way things turned out with him, you still think he's a god?

[righteous-pen.livejournal.com]

Things 'turned out' that way because of what I did.

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

If, if that were true, it would mean your 'god' couldn't even pick followers competently.

[righteous-pen.livejournal.com]

It would mean that I should have done better.

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

And you never think maybe he isn't and wasn't a god?

[righteous-pen.livejournal.com]

...





- I don't let myself.

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

He hasn't been much of a god here.

[righteous-pen.livejournal.com]

The castle limits his powers. And he doesn't remember -

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

It really doesn't make him sound like much of a god. Most people seem to be more powerful here.

[righteous-pen.livejournal.com]

Their powers don't require people to be able to die.

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

So he's only a god at killing people? Wouldn't that mean you were a god too?

[righteous-pen.livejournal.com]

- that's what I believed.

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

So you weren't a very sucessful god either.

[righteous-pen.livejournal.com]

...no.

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

Do you think that's because you weren't meant to succeed?

[righteous-pen.livejournal.com]

No. I don't.

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

Why, then? You seem to have a very flexible definition of 'god'.

[righteous-pen.livejournal.com]

I think it's because I wasn't good enough, nothing to do with him. Because if he's not my god then everything that happened to me is meaningless.

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

And if it was meaningless? Or doesn't mean what you thought it did?

[righteous-pen.livejournal.com]

- then all I'd be is a delusional murderer.

[i-am-an-hero.livejournal.com]

Exactly.
