aww yeah it's question meme time

Time to bring back one of my old faves...

the QUESTION meme





Simple and easy! Here's how it goes:

1. POST a top-level with your character name

2. REPLY to other people's top-level with a question for that character

3. ANSWER the question you were asked

4. ASK a question of that person's characters in return!

We go back and forth like this asking questions in a thread until one or both of us runs out of questions!

QUESTIONS CAN BE ANYTHING. Serious or silly as you want! What does Jane think of (x)? What does Sarah have for breakfast? How many times a day does Alex masturbate? What's Tom's dream job? The only limit for questions is your imagination.

Replies can be as monosyllabic or as tl;dr are you want; it's up to you. Go wild kids!

Chilton loves commanding attention and, more precisely, respect. He delights in every moment that someone refers to him as an expert, or seeks his advice, or otherwise validates his position of power. He's a man who truly invigorates in his work, and he is happiest in the element where he's allowed to command his own order of things -- so holding power in a systematic institution really fulfills quite a lot of his personal desires. Outside of work, he likes opportunity to show off his elegance and taste: fancy restaurants, yachting, reading the New Yorker. But those exercises are secondary to the feeling of control and domination that his ability to command can give.

On the flip side, Chilton hates being undermined -- he's emotionally reactive to betrayal, and he's fairly sensitive about it. This is, of course, his definition of betrayal, which is subordinate to his narcissistic personality -- he might, for example, perceive great slight where there was only thoughtlessness. He doesn't like rejection, especially when that involves exclusive clubs or gatherings that he thinks he has a right to partake in. He gets angry when he feels that his territory (his patients) is being threatened by another, competing force.

What does Joel value in a friend? What kind of people does he consider useful?
