"What the hell?" You mumble to yourself taking a moment to settle, you can't put a finger on it but you know that if there's any chance of leaving this place you'll have to answer these so you may as well make it quick.
>What is your most embarrassing insecurity?"Oh Jesus, I don't know. If I have to answer I guess I would say how I act when tapped into Shivers. I got told I was "zombified" just kinda shambling around, actually ended up suspended for a bit due to some mishaps with evidence."
>What kind of manipulations are you weakest to? Strongest against?"I'm a hard guy to get the drop on, if we're on my home field then nobody is getting anything past me without a whisper in my ear. As for the strongest I'm not sure, I guess just general temptation? I have everything I need to achieve what I want in life, I just have to go out and do it."
>What is your relationship with your father like?"I love my pop, he was always there for me as a kid and even though he had to make hard decisions with my health I could never have anything but respect and love for him. He's the best there is."
>What would you do if you were God? Or if you are a god, if your power was unlimited?You bark a laugh.
"I live side by side in a world with people who could be called Gods. If I was one of em? I guess I would just do my best to never lose perspective, to always try and lend a hand to the little guy and not get lost in the 'big picture' like some others."
>What are the parts of a key?"If you're asking mechanically uh I guess metal? But from the whole show here I'm guessing it's more of a metaphorical. A key opens a lock, therefore the parts of a key are whatever that lock requires, less of course you're a skeleton key. But we don't have to get into that."
You lean back in your seat and stare at the only other object in this room. An antique lighter coated with decorative snakes. You await an answer to your questions, some form of affirmation that you did your part but nothing comes. You clear your throat nervously.
"You know I have some experience with snakes myself...mostly cobras..heh."
You blink again and open your eyes to the familiar sight of your bedroom ceiling, you sit up in bed rubbing your nape.
"No more nightcaps..." You mumble as you swing your legs over the side and get up for the day.
