The In-Character Questions Meme

the QUESTION meme

How it works:

• Everyone's dying to know stuff!
• Have a question? Ask a question!
• Get an answer? Ask another question!
• Basically everyone should go around asking all the questions ever

Questions can be as serious or silly as you want.  What does John like for breakfast? What does Mary think of politics on the ship? Does Jerry sleep naked? Go wild!

Answers can be as short or as long as you want. Be brief or give up all the tl;dr that you wish!

Above all have fun!

Yeah. I would have. I knew you were coming to the airport, and I was going to say something. But whatever words I'd have cobbled to together wouldn't have said as much as just showing you my ring was back where it belonged.

[tearsinajar]

I guess so, huh. I had no intention of following you two, just so you know.

[sketchycharacter]

Uh-huh, right. That's why you showed up with a fully packed bag and your passport.

[tearsinajar]

Hey. You aren't the only one who was heading back to the States. Remember what I said— don't flatter yourself.

[sketchycharacter]

You weren't heading back that day. Come on, which one of us has actually lived through it? You or me?

[tearsinajar]

[ Folding her arms. ]

You don't know me. You don't know what I was thinking— I was totally heading back, for reasons that didn't involve you.

[sketchycharacter]

Such as...?

[Go on. He's waiting.]

[tearsinajar]

Dealing with my apartment? My parents? Work related things?

[sketchycharacter]

[He considers for a moment.]

Nah. I mean maybe, eventually. But you showed up ready to fly back to America because you could tell I was still madly in love with you and you were incredibly generous enough to take me back.

[tearsinajar]

[ HA HA HA— listen to her laughter. ]

I couldn't tell anything with you! You had other things on your mind half the time we were in Yemen. I was the one-percent out of the other ninety-nine that involved everything else.

[sketchycharacter]

You're still missing a few really critical days. You'll see when you go back and live through it. [If that happens. He's not sure how much he trusts the timeline idea.] It got real obvious, trust me.

[tearsinajar]

Right, the whole week gap. Still a little hard to believe...

[sketchycharacter]

For me, too. Would've been a lot easier if we'd both been on the same page from the start. But then, I suppose it's not such a bad thing I had to work for it.
