“You don’t get to tell me who’s overreacting. You’re under-reacting!" 

"All murder is illegal. Also, attempted murder." 

"Well, that’s just mean. And kind of weird." 

"We cannot tell you. We’re not allowed." 

"Murder wasn’t my intent." 

"I meant nothing by it." 

"We have forgotten so many things." 

"I guess I was wrong earlier—I don’t know. Weird, right?" 

"I have conflicted feelings here." 

"It is not a feeling I wish to experience again." 

"So, let’s not waste any more time." 

"I don’t remember what I was just saying." 

"That is—ugh. I’ll have to think about what that is." 

"You need to run." 

"This day started bad, and it does not appear to be getting better any time soon." 

"You can guess what happened, I think." 

"I know that there is more coming, as always. This is what I know." 

"Don’t look. You will not at all like what you see." 

"It’s all a shame, whatever it is. Such a damn shame everything is." 

"You are weak. You are nothing." 

"I know I am safe. Sadly though, I am not okay." 

"I don’t know. But I’m trying to find out, okay?" 

"I know what is what." 

"You know, it would upset me if it weren’t just who you are." 

"I could do so many things to you without you feeling it. Remember that if you remember nothing else." 

"You seem kind of— I mean, lately. Lately you’ve been—" 

"It’s awful when you can see the reason for someone’s feeling toward you while knowing wholly that they’re wrong." 

"I do my best with what I have. I don’t have much." 

"I’ve been working on something I’d like to show you." 

"Denying that you are guilty is a major sign of guilt." 

"Ask me what?" 

"I mean, I know. I know everything." 

"I wish I did not know." 

"You know, I don’t want to talk about it just yet." 

"It’s a shame anything had to change. I sure do dislike change." 

"Not saying that it is a long time—uh, who knows what a long time is even? Not me! But it just seems that way, that’s all." 

"Here I am, as I thought I might never be." 

"These days, the world seems to never be ending for some and not others." 

"The world is a worse place now than it ever was before, but far better than it ever will be again." 

"The past is always better than the present. And the future is the worst of all." 

"I extend my deepest sympathies. Not that my sympathies will do you any good." 

"Have you ever remembered a life you did not lead?" 

"It was a better day earlier. Back when I hadn’t heard that story." 

"This present, this now, is no good. No good at all!”

explain all of the guilty / innocent responses you answered with question marks at the end!

ANON IS REFERRING TO THIS POST.& sure thing! I’ll start from the bottom! 

i. rode in a stranger’s vehicle? – guilty? this one is fairly self-explanatory as vehicles in IX are ( primarily ) limited to airships and chocobo-drawn carriages. I was muddied in my response because ( aside from public transportation ) Claire had an experience during her year or so of travel with her friend Mal Rhodes ( a smuggler ) where she hopped aboard a stolen airship captained in the moment by a friend of his - a woman who wasn’t previously of her acquaintance. I mean, was it her vehicle? noooot really. but possession is 9/10ths of the law.

ii. liked someone, but will never tell who? – guilty? classic tsundere attitude - this applied to Jack at first as well as several of her platonic relationships, including older NPC relationships like Riss & those in the present, like Aisling. 

iii. kissed someone you shouldn’t? – innocent? ahhh how many times has she been kissed against her will, though? and frankly I was including Grey ( her douchebag ex-fiance ) here.

iv. kissed in the rain? – guilty? man there was a bit of RP way back in the day where Jack was #triggered and zoned out in the middle of Treno & it started to rain and I think she kissed him then but I’m not 100% on it. not very romantic but still counts. 

v. had feelings for someone whom you can’t have? – guilty? again - Grey, Grey, Grey! nowadays Claire would rather kill him than kiss him but as a child she blamed herself entirely for the uhhh annulment I guess of their arranged engagement. this one actually made me a little mad ahaha that’s honestly a spite question mark.

vi. asked someone to marry you? – guilty? coughs. clears my throat.

He shrugs, and turns his back once more to the halls and begins distractedly stirring the lukewarm broth before him. 

❝Well, y’know– the place has potential.❞

Admittedly, he knows he hasn’t even scraped the surface of the temple’s denizens, let alone those of the mansion connected to it. But he doesn’t need to explore it in full to start moving in.

     “ ‘s no’ s’bad... “ She concedes. No doubt Jack’s interest in this place is bolstered every time his hands find themselves gripping some foregone object - and the flow of dusty anythings here for the taking is ( so far ) endless.       She lets her eye wander once more to the walls around them, enjoying the rise and fall of waltzing specks of dust in the sparse light. Time ticks away in her chest with a steady but disparate beat - as if let loose in a stupor from some long and binding spell.       “ ... 'ow long d’y’s’pose ‘s been since anyone was ‘ere. “

Last night I had dinner with War and he told me my mother gave birth to me on the battleground. “That explains all the rage” I say. War swallowed, “The first thing you saw was the grin on Death’s face … maybe the last thing she sees will be yours.”

DATING DIVERSIONS.

DATING STRENGTHS.

◆ [100%] FINANCIAL SITUATION: you’ve got your financial situation under control, which is a very desirable quality. be careful to avoid guys who are only interested in your money. ◆ [87.5%] APPEARANCE: despite what some will say, appearance matters in dating. you get high marks on appearance. just make sure you balance it out with other qualities. ◆ [83.3%] ADVENTUROUSNESS: you are willing to try new things and be spontaneous. you want to get out there and really live, and you will attract people with a similar love of life. ◆ [77.8%] CONFIDENCE: you are sure of yourself and confident of your abilities. displays of confidence go a long way when attracting a date. ◆ [71.4%] VARIED INTERESTS: you don’t limit yourself, and that’s a dating asset. your varied interests make you available and interesting to a wider range of guys.

DATING WEAKNESSES.

◆ [100%] TEMPER: you need to work on controlling your temper. don’t let your anger get the best of you. a calm and rational persona is important when dating. ◆ [58.3%] VANITY: learn to put a lower priority on looks. appearance is, of course, important, but vanity is undesirable. the only people you will attract are the superficial. ◆ [50%] ARROGANCE: you are a bit full of yourself, you need to practice a little humaity now and then, as arrogance can be a turn-off.

A tone of agreement sounds, though its half-hearted nature begs the question that his ignorance on certain subjects of biology might remain intact even now. He still fails to understand the reasons that abstinence should be practiced during this of all times. But he at least makes the effort to follow suit– let’s ignore that he doesn’t ever last long before temptation always drives him to the nearest keg– and he at least understands that the cravings can get damn near unbearable.

❝Anyways, this isn’t for drinking right now,❞ he says, and gestures down the vast, dusty atrium towards the west wing. ❝All that’s going in the kitchen when the guys get off lunch.❞

Again, the thought conducts itself against his will: all of this is so overwhelming.

     “ ‘re we plannin’ on stayin’ ‘ere long, mm? “ she follows his gesture ( the fry in-hand come to her mouth with an air of gentility so causal as to not be noticed- ha, a graceful, mannerly grazer is she, with no intrusion to chew nor influence on tone; she may as well NOT be eating at all ), leaning back in her chair so as to gaze as far along the vaulted corridor as possible, compensating detail lost to brownish light with arcane acuity.        Rest assured the alcohol is far from out of mind, but she refuses the stacked libations another glance; she looks at Jack instead. “ Guess ‘t’ll take a while jus’ t’ see wha’s ‘ere... “
