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.

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.

[righteous-pen.livejournal.com]

And if I truly believed that I'd have to kill myself.

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

It's not very satisfying, killing yourself.

[righteous-pen.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, this potion apparently doesn't allow me to be tactful.

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

I'm just sorry it doesn't help you be more insightful.

...are you finished?
