I feel like bein' straightforward today!

So: ladies, gentlemen, children of all ages-- let's play a game. Tell me your greatest hope an' your greatest fear, if you please. If you don't, you can try and tell me something ta pique my interest; if you succeed, somethin' good might happen. If you don't... I guess we'll see!

((ETA: dead for the night

[Straightforward is a word for it.] Isn't that sort of ...

[solipsismmortal]

Deep? I know, I'm a real philosopher.

[ridestherider]

I was going to say "personal". Some people might not think it's such a good idea to tell a stranger their greatest fear.

[solipsismmortal]

That's the point! The folks who do are the ones I'm real interested in.

[ridestherider]

Even if you don't understand it?

[solipsismmortal]

I can always try ta understand. Nothin' stopping me from doing that.

[ridestherider]

Mm. [Considering this carefully.]

I guess that my greatest hope is just ... to be able to stay with the people I care about most. For as long as I can.

[solipsismmortal]

[ticks off his finger]

That's two.

[ridestherider]

Not getting a whole lot of answers?

[solipsismmortal]

The night's just begun.

[ridestherider]

Mm.

Then, why don't you tell me your answer?

[solipsismmortal]

It's already come ta pass.

[ridestherider]

Your hope, or your fear?

[solipsismmortal]

I wonder. What about fear, then?

[ridestherider]

[Hesitates.] ... it's a pretty close running between two things, really.

[solipsismmortal]

Such as?
