Q&A - Hypotheticals (Hades)

Hey all!

It was quite rightfully brought to my attention that I'd already done Hekate for this round of Q&As (in my defense, it was five months ago and I barely remember yesterday, so there's that). So, what I've decided to do is leave her questionnaire up, since the answers are perhaps a tad "updated" anyhow, and also actually do a new one. Hades was in fact the only one left, so that makes it his turn by default. 

Sorry for the flub, and cheers. :)

1. You’re minding your own business when the person you least want to see walks into the room. Who are they, and how do you react?

I think who that is, and therefore how I react, is not necessarily always the same. However… on most days I suppose he has some form of business that must be attended to, as he typically does not enjoy the idea of seeing me any more than I enjoy the idea of seeing him. Of late, perhaps my reaction would be more pointed, as he has gone from irritant to danger, and needs to be reminded which of us actually rules the Underworld.

2. How would you react if you witnessed a victimless crime?

This is a question for which an answer would require a great deal more specificity. Which ‘crime’? Who is committing it, and why? Perhaps seeking the answers to those questions is what I would do, first.

3. What would you do if someone brought up your biggest insecurity in front of a crowd of strangers?

Likely nothing. It has happened before, and will happen again.

4. How would you respond to an apology from somebody you still can’t forgive?

Be very surprised to be receiving it, and most likely immediately doubt its genuineness.

5. How would you feel after a one-night stand?

Disturbed. Such actions are not typically ones I take, and therefore I would have to wonder what had overcome me to bring this scenario about.

6. How would your best friend describe you?

A question with two very diverging answers. I daresay they would agree that I am a bit on the morose side, however.

7. Are you more likely to ask for permission or forgiveness?

There are many matters in which I do not need permission. For those which I do—for example, within the context of interpersonal relationships—permission. For everything else, forgiveness by default, I suppose.

8. What criticism could your worst enemy would make of you, that you would secretly agree with?

That I am naught but a necessary evil, a mark of the world’s imperfections and something to be reviled as a consequence.

9. If you were to enter into a romantic relationship, what would you expect from it?

That is… a very big if. Big enough that I do not know that I can see past it to the answer.

10. If you needed advice about something, but the topic was embarrassing or shameful, what would you do?

I am ashamed of relatively few things, I suppose. I ask advice of my advisors all the time; that is what they are there for. And given my responsibilities, I do not have the luxury of withholding information from them simply because it might be embarrassing, so I do not see that changing even in such circumstances.
