The Questions

Grey

Dialectical Hermeticist
Feel free to PM these to me, folks, but I need them answered about your characters.


1. What is the worst thing you've ever done?


2. What is the worst thing you can imagine yourself doing?


3. What is the worst thing you can imagine another person doing?


4. What is the most traumatic thing to happen to you?


5. What possibly-supernatural event have you forgotten?
 
1. What is the worst thing you've ever done?


Defrauded a woman out of her life's savings, exacerbating her miseries and pushing her into a mental breakdown. See background.


2. What is the worst thing you can imagine yourself doing?


Becoming callous enough to just carve through an endless supply of victims without any thought or reason, merely draining them dry because it is a pattern that works.
3. What is the worst thing you could imagine someone else doing?


Eddie is very good at seeing the little, forgiveable sins and hungers that give him levers to manipulate people, but he can't really imagine people 'at their worst'.  His virtue is sympathy, after all.  He'd probably pick some so-big-it-practically-loses-meaning atrocity like 9/11 or the Holocaust.


4. What is the worst thing that has ever been done to you?


Losing his dad at age 10 to a heart attack, mom moving them in with his alcoholic uncle.


5. What possibly-supernatural event have you forgotten?


During his year with the carnival, Eddie narrowly dodged a metaphorical bullet.  He still gets chills when he remembers it, but he only has hazy half-pieces scattered across his recollection.  A stranger asked him a question.  This is not an uncommon occurrence, since the whole point of the psychic act was to get people opening up to you, but this wasn't a question about his powers or the guy's problems, it was a question which, only after he'd answered, Eddie could hear some kind of hooks in.  An opportunity lost - or a threat evaded.  The man, with his sinisterly-boring polo shirt and nothing resembling memorable facial features, asked a question, and whatever answer Eddie gave, it was the wrong one.  Or maybe the right one.
