Attentive Questions
You can ask an immediate question at any time, but you must spend a moment of awareness to ask an attentive question. You can ask anything as an immediate question, but for attentive questions you must pick from a list. The answers to immediate questions might mislead, but the answers to attentive questions always tell you something meaningful and true.
To ask an attentive question, spend one moment of awareness (giving it to the place), and ask the person playing the place one of the following:
- What has happened here recently?
- How does «person» really feel?
- What does «person» want me to do?
- How could I get «person» to ____?
- Who has agency here?
#Answering Attentive Questions
Attentive questions involve spending a moment of awareness, so the answers should always give us a sense that we’ve gotten somewhere. It can seem small and incremental, but it should never feel in vain. Since the player picks from a set list of questions for these, interpret them broadly and generously, and find ways to give them more information, befitting the moment of awareness spent on the question.
