Because I can.

[active_apathy]

I feel like playing a game.

No, wait. That's not quite it.

I feel like playing a game of words, or of ideas, or of both, mixed together, with anyone and everyone who'd care to play, in the comments here.

I offer three options:

• the game of questions (as in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead)
• the oldest game (as in The Sandman issue A Hope in Hell, which is collected in the Preludes and Nocturnes TPB) [scroll down past the Danger Mouse bit], or
• another game of your choosing, if you tell me how it's played.

As for where, well, the comments here will do nicely, won't they?

(Also, seeing as how this is the Interweb, any rules about hesitation will be completely ignored.)

Would you like for me to think you're strange?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

What flavr would you want to has?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Does you likes cheezburger?

[Srsly.]

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Doesn't everyone?

[too wonderful! the lolcat theory of conversational duelling games?]

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Do you mean to impose a cheezburgr hegemony?

[Ooh, yes. Just imagine: R+G, but in lolcat...]

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Didn't you read the Evil Overlord List?

[Messenger: Mewz from Inglendz - Rosenkatz and Kittenstern iz ded ;_;.]

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Surely you know I'd do my homework?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

If you had, would you really tell me your plan?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Do you think I only have one?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Apart from a pretend one to tell to the Fearless Hero?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Are *you* a Fearless Hero?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't I be more the Fearless Antiheroine?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Should I really be telling you my plans, then?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Couldn't I use my antiheroine archetype to say something like 'bah! Screw the villagers!'?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

But wouldn't you still be essentially opposed to plans of world domination?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Can I really decide without seeing the plans?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

As a Fearless Antiheroine, what would you do if you don't like the plans?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Could I propose changes at the biweekly meeting?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Do you think that would work?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Would you attend the biweekly meeting?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Would that be consistent with hatching plans for world domination?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Can't the plot have a certain participatory element?
