[Tulpa Week (unofficial)]: Questions Only


ReisOtherHalf

Recommended Posts

Inspired by the UK and USA television series Whose Line Is It Anyway?, here's a game you can play with your mindfriends. If you've not seen the series, here's how Questions Only goes:

 

  • Either side picks a starting scenario or premise.
  • The other person leads with a question.
  • The person who picked the scenario must answer with a question, and so on.
  • Whenever either side fails to come up with a question in the time allotted or accidentally answers with a statement, the round ends.

 

We haven't played yet, but since I'll be up for a bit longer doing some work, I think Rei and I are going to play a few rounds and post a 'log' below. If you and your others decide to play, please consider adding a post with the resulting dialogue in this thread.

 

On another note, this kind of seems like it might help tulpae who are on the cusp of vocality, improv seems like it might help exercise the imagination and laughing at ridiculous crap together is always good for bonding and/or doubt-reduction, so there's that...



Scenario: Stealing the Mona Lisa (again). As ponies (because recurring theme is recurring). Chosen by the lovely Rei.

 

Me: Do you know how we get in?

Rei: (Do you think the building's empty yet?)

Me: Should we not have come during open hours?

Rei: (Did you bring your lockpick kit?)

Me: How do you use this with hooves?

Rei: (You mean they aren't opposeable?)

Me: Didn't we try this already?

Rei: (Don't you have to be a unicorn?)

Me: What would a unicorn want with the Mona Lisa?

Rei: (Isn't it obvious?)

Me: Should it be?

Rei: (We're not gonna steal it today, are we?)

Me: Isn't this a job for Carmen San Diego?

Rei: (Isn't she out stealing the Suez Canal?)

Me: I don't know, it isn't my day to watch her. (I lost the round - what I should have said is "Isn't that your job, Gumshoe?".)

Rei: more than a tulpa-she's a crisis counselor, an art therapist, a dietician, a relationship coach, a team morale expert, an athlete, an adventurer, a hawt wife, an incredible lover, an amazing mom, my best friend.

 

Tove: she's not a little tigress anymore! She's still the go-to gal for soccer advice and creative inspiration, especially monster design and all things cinematic...congrats on your engagement!

This sounds kind of neat. Here is a round I just played with Sabari. Since she talks through words and images equally, describes an image she streams to me.

For example, was streamed to me as I wrote the above.

 

Scenario: Get an object from somewhere and bring it here. I don't know what the object is, but she does:

H: So what am I supposed to get?

S: Don't you know already?

H: How am I supposed to know?

S: Didn't you get the memo?

H: Wasn't the memo intercepted by rogue agents?

S: Aren't we both the rogue agents?

H: So we need to get the memo back from the FBI?

S: Wasn't that the plan?

H: How should we go about infiltrating the building?

S: Did you bring the disguise?

H: Aren't we wearing the disguises now?

S: You didn't notice?

H: How could I see it through these infiltration googles I'm wearing?

Noriko suggested this as I was trying to come up with something to say which was met by

 

Round ended there because Noriko cheated. Even though she's saying that I asked her for a suggestion and that I am the one who cheated. But that's clearly a fabrication because I would never cheat like that.

Currently share myself with four other entities.

Noriko was created on December 15, 2014.  Sabari was created by Noriko on January 22, 2015.

Anzu was reborn on May 23, 2016.  Xiri returned on June 16, 2018.  Both had been inactive since 2012.

Woohoo, got all four of us to play!

 

Scenario: Called up from the AHL to play for the Sharks in an exhibition match against VAN. (My choice)

 

Rei: (Do you know the way to San Jose?)*

Me: Have you been away for that long?

Rei: (Will I find piece of mind there?)

Me: Is this how we get to the arena?

Rei: (Isn't the player's entrance round back?)

Me: How do we get in?

Rei: (They didn't give you a number to call?)

Me: Does my mobile get signal here?

Rei: (Will we get to skate through the shark head?)

Me: Will they hire us full-time?

Rei: (Where's the locker room?)

Me: Is this it here?

Rei: (Are those new pads?)

Me: Don't they look spiffy?

Rei: (Are they broken in yet?)

Me: Uh... (out, replaced by Kacie)

Rei: (Doesn't the new goalie worry you?)

Kacie: (muttered expletive) (out, replaced by Tove)

Rei: (Did only us four show up?)

Tove: How many more do we need?

Rei: (Can you really play sixty minutes?)

Tove: Can't you?

Rei: (...) (out, replaced by me)

Tove: Can we go to Peggy Sue's after?

Me: Will they be open that late?

Tove: ...awww... (out, replaced by Kacie)

Me: Are you psyched?

Kacie: How do I stop?

Me: ... (out)

Kacie: How do I skate backwards?

Rei: (Don't you hold down triangle?)

Kacie: Does that work here?

Rei: (Can you pull my jersey down?) (mimes standing up and falling over)

Kacie: Shouldn't you lace those better?

Rei: (That nose wheel feels mushy.) ** (out, replaced by Tove)

Tove: Will those green stage ninja guys be there?

Kacie: Who's our opponent again?

Tove: You didn't read the scouting report?

Kacie: Will they start me at third base?

Tove: ... (out)

 

We ended the round here - Kacie is the clear winner with "Will they start me at third base?" and "How do I skate backwards?"

 

...but the points don't matter.

 

* She admits she did this on purpose.

** Ah, meme abuse.

Rei: more than a tulpa-she's a crisis counselor, an art therapist, a dietician, a relationship coach, a team morale expert, an athlete, an adventurer, a hawt wife, an incredible lover, an amazing mom, my best friend.

 

Tove: she's not a little tigress anymore! She's still the go-to gal for soccer advice and creative inspiration, especially monster design and all things cinematic...congrats on your engagement!
