What do you suffer from?

That can be a rather broad question.

[goddamnemperor]

That's the point.

[lunadickery]

Is this an attempt at creating conversation, or did you mean to pose this question as a way to encourage self reflection?

[goddamnemperor]

Very good! The latter.

[lunadickery]

How is it going?

[goddamnemperor]

I'm not sure. It is too early to tell.

[lunadickery]

It can be a very personal question as well. Do you anticipate honest responses?

[goddamnemperor]

No. But they will give them to me. A dishonest answer reveals more than anyone realizes.

[lunadickery]

...But will it reveal the truth of their thoughts to you?

[goddamnemperor]

[laughs]

You are all so funny. You make it sound as if I don't already know.

[lunadickery]

[tensing]

Oh? Are you capable of reading the thoughts of others?

[goddamnemperor]

Oh, I'm not a telepath. I read body language.

[lunadickery]

[Well, he kinds of fails at that keeping neutral facial expressions, so have another one to read!]

...Ah, a wise skill to cultivate. So you're good enough to know the answer before they give it?

[goddamnemperor]

Something like that.

[lunadickery]

Then is this exercise meant to benefit them...or you?

[goddamnemperor]

Them, of course. What would benefit me?
