Morality Questions

1. What one act in your past are you most ashamed of? What one act in your past are you most proud of?

Jonathan eyed the question dubiously and turned his head into Jacobyte's neck. Sighed. "One act. Just the one. Hmm."

Jacobyte reached up a hand to hold Jonathan in place as he twisted to plant a kiss on his lips.

"Not that I'm complaining," said Jonathan, smiling a little, "but what was that for?"

"Felt needed," said Jacobyte, tweaking a soft smile in return.

"I'm... most ashamed of the fact that... that I didn't do anything."

Jacobyte's hand rubbed at the back of Jonathan's neck, almost ridiculously reassuring.

"I didn't do anything to stop him. Night after night. And then she killed herself because of it."

"Not because of you—"

"No, I know not because of me... but I didn't do anything. That's got to count toward it in some small way at least."

Jacobyte sighed and continued to rub. "Anything you're proud of?"

"Shooting the bastard."

Jacobyte twisted to kiss him again. Whispered, "I'm proud too."

2. Have you ever been in an argument before? Over what, with who, and who won?

"Um, yes? Haven't we all? Deity, who writes these things anyway?"

"Answer the question, John-boy."

"Yes, I have been in an argument before."

"Over what?"

Jonathan threw up his hands. "How the hell am I meant to go into specifics there?"

"Over. What."

"Last argument was with you, and I do believe we were arguing about who had won the last argument."

"And I won."

"You so did not."

"I've got the pencil, Jonathan. The pencil's word is law. See? Already written it down. No going back."

3. Have you ever been in a physical fight before? Over what, with who, and who won?

Jonathan pulled his head back to give Jacobyte a disbelieving look.

"Hey! I have to ask. It's on the sheet, therefore I have to ask."

"Yes, I have been in a physical fight before. The last was with you. And I don't remember why. But I won." Jonathan raised an eyebrow, daring Jacobyte to contradict him. Jacobyte held up his hands.

"I haven't got a problem with being beaten." A grin. "Ended nicely for both parties in any case."

"You mean we both got nice endings?"

"Ayep."

"I don't know whether to hit you or kiss you, or do both, for that."

"Is there anything stopping you from doing both?"

"Nope."

Jacobyte's turn to arch an eyebrow. "Then do your worst, John-boy."

4. What do you feel most strongly about?

"I— mmph. Think that— mrph. People shouldn't— ngh. Ask questions— mnph. While. Making Out. With— Jacobyte! Do you want this answer or not?"

"I want more kissing."

"Well you wanted answers earlier. So now you're getting them. Deal."

5. What do you pretend to feel strongly about, just to impress people?

Jonathan examined his nails. Lightly said, "I don't understand the question."

"Yah-huh."

6. What trait do you find most admirable, and how often do you find it?

"The ability to shoot ambidextrously," said Jonathan, enunciating each syllable with painstaking care, "and not as often as you'd think."

A snort. "I think question was asking for more of a—"

"I gave an answer, Jackie. S'your duty to write it."

"Jo—"

"Scriiiibe. Do your duty."

"Oh, it's like that, is it?"

"Hell yes."

Jacobyte snorted again.

7. Is there anything you think should not be incorporated into the media or art (sex, violence, greed, etc.,)? If so, what and why, and if not, why not?

The pair of them blinked. "Why the hell shouldn't sex, violence and greed be incorporated into art and the media? Deity, aren't they meant to reflect society as a whole?"

This time, only Jacobyte blinked. "That was rather deep, for you."

Jonathan batted his eyelashes. Which was almost blinking, but not quite.

8. Do you have any feelings in general that you are disturbed by? What are they? Why do they disturb you?

"I... that... um."

"Nothing?"

"Well, not nothing per say... Just..." Jonathan shook his head and grinned. "Not really, no. I've become immune, you could say."

"To your own thought processes?"

"Mhm."

"How very... you."

9. What is your religious view of things? What religion, if any, do you call your own?

Jacobyte eyed Jonathan carefully. "You aren't actually religious, are you?"

He sounded almost wary.

Jonathan twisted his lips in an expression of deep thought, and Jacobyte laughed, if a little uncertainly. "You're having me on."

"Am I?"

"You have to be. The universe might implode. Again."

Jonathan cracked a grin. "Of course I'm having you on, numbnuts. Next question."

10. Do you think the future is hopeful? Why?

"No," Jonathan said flatly. "And because."

Jacobyte scrawled that down. Very valid answer, he thought.

11. Is an ounce of prevention really worth a pound of cure? Which is more valuable? Why do you feel this way?

"If I say I don't know and I don't care, to all three, would you write that down?"

"Look, I've got snogging down as an answer. I hardly think now would be the time to start quibbling over answer quality."

12. What's the worst thing that can be done to another person? Why?

"That depends on the other person, surely?"

"I think so."

"Hmm."

13. What's the worst thing you could actually do to someone you hated?

"Again, it really fucking depends on the person."

14. Are you a better leader or follower? Why do you think that? If you think the whole leader-follower archetype is a crock of shit, say so, and explain why?

"Ooh, crock of shit! I want the crock of shit option!"

Jacobyte patted his head. "You still have to explain why, though."

"Don't."

"Do. Question says."

"And do I have to follow? No, I don't. I think it's a crock of shit. Theeerefore..."

"Therefore what?"

"Therefore skip to the next bloody question."

15. What is your responsibility to the world, if any? Why do you think that?

Jonathan laaaaughed. And laughed. And laughed. And Jacobyte had to hit him over the head with the question sheets before he'd shut up.

16. Do you think redemption is possible? If so, can anyone be redeemed, or are there only certain circumstances that can be? If not, why do you think nothing can redeem itself?

"Redemption, schmidemption."

"Bet you can't say that five times fast."

"You're on."

Ten seconds later, Jacobyte had to help Jonathan untangle his tongue from his teeth.

17. Is it okay for you to cry? When was the last time you cried?

"I... think it was when you did that thing with the... and turned it like..."

Jacobyte watched Jonathan gesticulate. Considered the question sheets. Eyed Jonathan again. "I think the question might be after more, ah, emotional crying."

"That was emotional. How long did you have me like that?"

Squint. "Couple hours?"

"Exactly."

Amused, Jacobyte gave up and moved on.

18. What do you think is wrong with MOST people, overall?

"They're people."

"Eloquent."

"I try."
