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!

Re: Miles Edgeworth

[bindsthedead]

How much does Miles trust the in-game government?

[takethestairs]

It's wavering. He's willing to give them a benefit of the doubt, and he sees much of their recent legislation as attempts to protect the populace from more dangerous imPorts. He also agrees with the idea that imPorts need to be regulated to some degree.

However, the way they've implemented regulations concern him. On the one hand, he agrees that imPorts who wish to get involved with crime fighting should be registered, and has no qualms with the government cracking down on vigilantes. He also doesn't see an issue with registered imPorts getting benefits that unregistered imPorts do not.

That said, other discrepancies between registered and unregistered imPorts bother him deeply. For example, he agrees that medical exams are necessary for imPorts, in light of the flare virus from a few months ago. However, he thinks they're necessary for all imPorts, and the fact that they're limited to unregistered imPorts makes little sense t him. He's also frustrated with the parole system for captured villains, and is afraid of the moment when it will be abused (and he's certain it will be abused). He's beginning to suspect that they're trying to bribe the more violent and villainous imPorts into compliance, which begs the question why? Just what do they have planned for them?

tl;dr he's concerned about Cold War intrigue and has issues with their criminal justice system, and its clashing with his own ideals concerning law and order.

And for Sabriel: what does she think of Melkor now? What plans does she have for him as her parole officer?

[bindsthedead]

She's still angry, and doesn't trust him one bit. She thinks at this point, it's unlikely he'll ever feel sorry for what he's done, but she wants to make sure he doesn't try anything like that again. Sabriel wants to be pragmatic about that, which is why she isn't using him as a punching bag/pincushion- though making sure he's a little bit scared/intimidated by her, mostly through the knowledge of what she can do.

So instead of violent retribution, she's trying to figure out ways to make him restrain his impulses/channel them into more socially acceptable ways. Also, she's hoping that the threat of losing his powers will keep him in line, and is planning on using her magic to seal some of them if he's not behaving once his parole period is over.

How does Edgeworth feel about RISE and Archangel?

[takethestairs]

His feelings on Archangel are mixed. On the one hand, he can understand their motivations, and their desire to clean up Maurtia Falls. However, the fact that they're vigilantes prevents him from supporting them. One of his objections to vigilante crime fighting is the lack of accountability if something goes wrong, which he elaborated on in this old debate with Kate Bishop. He's also concerned that vigilante actions may inspire others to take the law into their own hands, which could get... messy.

That said, he was surprised, and a little impressed, by Kanaya's insistence that Peter Petrelli be brought to justice for the vigilante actions he talked about anonymously. While that's a point in Archangel's favor, he still can't shake his doubts, nor can he trust Kanaya fully because of her own past.

RISE, on the other hand, is a little different. He does agree that something needs to be done to stop rogue imPorts, and the fact that they're working with the government makes him more willing to trust them than Archangel. While this may seem strange considering the doubts he has towards the government, it all goes back to accountability. If someone in RISE crosses the line and commits criminal acts or does something to harm the general populace, he knows that there's a system in place to bring them into justice. That, plus the rigorous joining requirements, makes the members of RISE appear more trustworthy as a group, as opposed to Archangel which is more of a mixed bag. However, he doesn't know enough about Olivier Armstrong yes to give his support. He wants to learn more about her first before he decides how to view RISE.

How does Sabriel view death, in general? And does she view Death?

[bindsthedead]

Sabriel figured out who and what Death was shortly into her first meeting- which was baffling, but oddly reassuring.

Sabriel views Death with a great deal of respect and awe, and sees her as a friend. She's one of the few people Sabriel will listen to when it comes to advice on dealing with death. And she feels... kind of bad about contributing to outing her as Death, even if

As for lowercase death... Sabriel doesn't revel in it, but she accepts it as a natural part of life that's rather unpleasant, and her experiences in her own world have left her extremely wary of anything that seeks to reject it entirely. She's extremely wary of undead, the nanite revival process, or anyone seeking to revive the dead, no matter how well intentioned they are. She also firmly believes that everything dies eventually- there may be entities that will outlive the entire human race, but they will die eventually, since nothing is truly immortal. That doesn't mean she doesn't care whether people live or die- she'll work to save them if at all possible, will feel terrible and grieve when they die... but under almost no circumstance will she try to bring them back.

Edgeworth's views on the imPort's general situation?

[takethestairs]

It's a mess that nobody asked for. Nobody asked to be dragged from their homes into the new Cold War. But nobody here asked for a bunch of superpowered hooligans to come in and destroy their nation, either. Add in a dash of political intrigue and a group of imPorts who have no home to go back to, and you get a situation where nobody wins. Edgeworth feels confused, shaken, and completely out of his depth, and while he's getting involved in smaller investigations, he still has no idea how to approach the big picture.

What's the hardest part about Sabriel's new life in Supermerica?

[bindsthedead]

More than anything else? The politics. Sure, technology takes some getting used to, but she can extrapolate some stuff based on her experiences in Ancelstierre. But all of the countries and causes involved in politics are new to her. She's not entirely sure what side she should take, but she suspects getting dragged into things is going to be inevitable.

Also, homesickness, and dealing with Florida's heat.
