Welcome to Gaia! ::

[ Ember AMA ]

Al didn't know him very well and a certain question always crossed his mind whenever he saw him on Twitter or walking about on island. He didn't care if it was an inappropriate question. "Do you consider yourself male, female, or something else entirely - and if so, what?"

[ Rep AMA ]

After a lot of thought and consideration, Al finally decided to ask Rep a question before he had the chance to pass the ring off. He honestly wondered at times and was sure Rep would have answered honestly with or without the ring, but it created this situation where Al felt more comfortable asking it.

"What do you think of me?" He knew honesty was often cruel, but he honestly needed to know at this point. To figure out where he stood with the oftentimes very distant man.

[ Melvin AMA ]

"It's the uniform!" Al shouted. "You wear yours all the time too. Everyone does."

His next question seemed almost retaliatory, "are you attracted to me or my boyfriend or both of us?"

[Melvin AMA]

He was quiet, and glanced at Dawson when he went over to offer him a chance to get out. "There is no safe place here." He said looking back.

His attention went back to Rep, and his hesitation was not fighting the ring, but asking the truth from someone who wasn't exactly sure of all the specifics of the reason why. "What people? I don't truth any stranger pretending they get half of it and who isn't already influenced by people I hate. What people wont' tell me just to leave the house I helped build? To just leave everything without the promise that I'll even be able to make amends and get what what I lost? I've lost so much of the person I once was and the people I cared about that sticking to where I'm at just...I may not be as shitty as him but I'm still not right. And then who will watch out for the worst then?"

He turned the ring about his finger, debating pulling it off. It was funny but he never had a ring like this on. Rep had a wedding ring. Lawr had a wedding ring. All he had was gloves and insecurity.

[ Melvin AMA ]

"No. I'm not attracted to either of you two. You're both too skittish and jumpy that I'd break the both of you. Id' get bored but beyond that I wouldn't want to ruin anyone with a virus." He said, his voice still quiet and his energy draining from him from the onslaught of Rep's more personal questions. Sex questions just were easy passing things to answer.

"I think you're really cute? But sometimes a brat, but that's cool 'cause I'm a brat too," America announced proudly. "I think you've gotten to be a really good kisser and that you aren't really lazy, you just save your energy for the things that make you happy. Which I guess is actually really smart? You're daddy making you so unhappy, well that would tire anybody out if they put too much into trying to please him or fight with him n'such. I'd get worried, though, all the time. Before hearing you say this stuff, I'd always think you were gonna just, get hurt and get hurt and get hurt and used by him, smiling all the way through it just 'cause he's family."

[ Rep AMA ]

Rep's eyes flicked to Al and he gave him a long look which without speaking said that he didn't want to ask this question or hear the answer.

But the ring compelled him anyway.

"I think you are a really selfish ******** person." he said. "You don't care about anyone other than yourself. Sure you make all the noises implying that you do, empty ******** words of no ******** substance. You say you care but that doesn't make it so. I dunno man, you've ditched me a hundred times, you've shown I'm no your priority, whenever you do ******** reach out its half assed and just to make yourself feel better. Hell most of your questions here have been about you. You can't ******** empathise with anyone at all and obviously your perception is so ******** low you need me to tell you this. I wanted to like you once, I wanted really hard to like you but all you did was constantly make me feel shitty, constantly constantly make me feel like I needed to look after you, to scold you to do all the ******** work of living your life and I'm no doing that for random people ever again. Noah can ******** have you, he's welcome to you. Happy?"

He curled his lip at Melvin. "******** weak. You've given up. Maybe that's why I don't recognise you any more, the guy I knew killed a polar bear, he was going places, he was like an iron bar. You are just..wishy washy. I barely have any more questions for you, you are so flat and pointless. But whatever. Why are you so afraid of what someone else will ******** do? Don't you think other people can handle him?"


[ Roswell's AMA ]

Lysander did not want to discuss any of it any further and was excruciatingly uncomfortable with the discussion at hand. He found appearances deeply deeply important and a great deal of appearances generated from Roswell. It was normally bad enough dealing with his hair colour choices and slightly flamboyant inclinations but this was of a whole other order.

"I really do apologise Merric." he said. "He certainly isn't normally this forward. There was at one point an agreement not to discuss any of this but it seems to no longer matter. Fashion would be a more appropriate topic but here we are."

And in defiance of his usual laziness he strongly considered getting up to leave.
