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.)

Comments

Can't you guess?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Should I have to?

[And can one of us score a point before we hit the comment limit?]

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Isn't life more interesting with a little uncertainty?

[Plea, or challenge? What *is* the comment limit, anyway?]

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Is it that little an uncertainty?

[Observation. Maybe a bit of a challenge... I've loved this game ever since I first saw it in R+G. And... it doesn't say anymore. Grr.]

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Do you dislike ambiguously-sized uncertainties?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Could it depend on the ambiguous size?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Does this have its roots in your antiheroic character flaws?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Do you think antiheroic types are intrinsically predisposed to be some kind of uncertainty size queens?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Do you happen to have a Callahan full-bore auto-lock with a customised trigger and double cartridge thorough gauge lying around somewhere, or did you turn it down?

[aaand...sleep.]

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Should I perhaps resent this implication?

[sleep well.]

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Is it an implication that inspires resentment?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Might it be an implication that desires resentment?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't that be kind of evil?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't that be kind of the point?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

So Vera isn't in your Antiheroic Arsenal?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Did I insinuate she wasn't?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Does she get taken out somewhere fun when she's dressed up?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Are you offering use of a space suit?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

What happened to the last one I lent you?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Would you believe me if I told you?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Do I seem a mistrusting, suspicious type to you?

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Are they such bad qualities to have?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Do you think they'll be inconvenient qualities for me to have when you tell me where my space suit went?


[re: your icon - Hitherby Dragons: My Neighbor Samara]

[active-apathy.livejournal.com]

Do your mistrust and suspicion lead to arranging accidents for people?

[deepfishy.livejournal.com]

Why would I arrange accidents when there's some perfectly good vengeance to be had?
