All right, it's share time. Here's some "get to know you" questions. Feel free to answer any or all. Then ask each other new ones you come up with.

1. Who is one person you admire from your world? Historical figure, celebrity, friend or relative - anyone. And why?

2. What's a fond childhood memory you have?

3. What's your hidden talent? The thing you're good at that others might not be aware of.

4. What animal would you be, and why?

Have fun!

[ Well, now he wonders why he even asked when he doesn't actually care. ]

My older brother had the same face. I thought he took after my father, but perhaps it's something reserved for all first-borns.

[ He has to think about it for a moment. He's more envious of others than he is admiring of them, he didn't have a particularly happy childhood, he is never so shy as to hide his talents, and he wouldn't be an animal if he could.

Your questions suck, Lucifer. ]

Offer me another set of questions.

[dealwiththe]

[ His questions don't suck, you just need to get into the spirit, Theon! ]

I think it may be a universal older-brother thing. Does he also get that line on his forehead, when he scowls?

All right, a few more to stimulate the gray matter.

1. If you could instantly become an expert in something - one thing, anything - what would it be?

2. What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given? And/or the worst?

3. If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?

[reek]

He did. He died some time ago.

[ He doesn't like these new questions any more, but he'll humor Lucifer this time. ]

1. Wardenship.

2. Yield.

[ Not that he took that advice. ]

3. I've no opinion, so long as it's well seasoned.

[dealwiththe]

My condolences. Or congratulations, if that would be more appropriate.

I doubt anyone is an expert in being a warden.

Is “yield” the best advice, the worst advice, or both?

[reek]

I was never particularly fond of either one of my brothers.

Perhaps not here, but they exist.

Both. I haven't decided yet.

[dealwiththe]

You say “they exist” as if you’ve met some that you think qualify. I’m curious what you think the qualifications are.

[reek]

[ "The ability to frighten someone so badly that they never take one step out of line" is the main one, but he definitely isn't going to say that. ]

Aren't you a warden?

I suppose you'll have to figure it out for yourself.

[dealwiththe]

Do you mean to tell me that you're actually turning down an opportunity to tell a warden how to do his job? Come on, surely you want to give us all a lecture about it!

[reek]

[ Oh, he doesn't like that. He didn't like the Northmen painting all ironborn (including himself) with the same brush, and this hits very similarly.

But he's also literally the most sensitive person in the world. ]

I'll leave that chore to whichever inmate has been assigned to you, assuming they appreciate your generalization more than I do.

[ #notallinmates ]

[dealwiththe]

If you don't like being generalized, you might need to be a bit more forthcoming about yourself.

Just tossing that out there.

[reek]

[ No...I don't think I will. ]

Ask better questions and perhaps I'll be more forthcoming.

[dealwiththe]

Next time, I will, just for you.
