A little about Hypnos

I saw one of those questionnaires finally made its way to Shore Leave. (Why Did It Have To Be The One With Every First Letter Capitalized and QUESTIONS IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS???!) I don't normally answer any of those because they're very long so I lose interest a few questions in, but I thought it would be fun to answer as Hypnos, and since I can abuse my godly powers to misuse capital letters myself and cut the questionnaire as short as I like, I couldn't resist:

1. Were you named after anyone?

MY MOTHER WAS NYX, NIGHT ITSELF. I WAS THERE WHEN THE FIRST CREATURE CLOSED ITS EYES IN REST. I AM THE FIRST, I AM ETERNAL, NONE CAME BEFORE ME, AND I WILL BE UNTIL THE LAST CREATURE OF ALL CREATION CLOSES ITS EYES FOR THE LAST TIME. SO NO.

2. When was the last time you cried?

A MAN SLEPT ON WHILE HIS SOULMATE, THE PERSON HE HAD YEARNED FOR UNKNOWING SINCE HE TOOK HIS FIRST BREATH WALKED PAST HIS APARTMENT DOOR, TO THE WINDOW, SOBBING WITH LONELINESS, AND PLUNGED TO HER DEATH. I DID NOT WEEP.

I WATCHED THE PEOPLE OF ATLANTIS SLUMBER PEACEFULLY WHILE THE SHINING SPIRES OF THEIR CITY SLID BENEATH THE WAVES. THEIR BODIES SANK SLOWLY AWAY WITH ONLY BUBBLES TO MARK THEIR PASSING AND STILL I DID NOT WEEP.

TODAY SOMEBODY ASKED ME WHY ANOTHER PLAYER WOULD NOT RETURN HIS MONEY AFTER HE HAD BEEN SO HELPFUL AND CREATED A NEW ACCOUNT FOR HER BECAUSE SHE WAS BANNED, AND I SCREAMED LIKE A NEWBORN HUMAN CHILD.

3. Do you like your handwriting?

WHEN I WRITE IT IS WITH THE SAND OF DREAMS. IT FALLS, SPARKLING UPON MORTALS FROM THE STARS. MY WRITING MIRRORS THE PATTERNS OF CREATION, THE PULSE OF LIFE AND A BEAUTY THAT CAN ONLY BE SEEN AFTER EONS OF OBSERVANCE. I GUESS IT IS OKAY. COULD USE A LITTLE MORE FLOURISH ON MY ZS.

4. What is your favorite lunch meat?

BLACK FOREST HAM

6. If you were another person would you be friends with you?

MY TWIN IS THANATOS. WE ARE ONE, TWO HALVES OF A COIN. ALL CREATURES MUST SLEEP OR THEY DIE. IF ALL CREATURES DIE THERE WILL BE NO SLEEP. WE BATTLE ETERNALLY AND YET ARE NEVER APART. I HATE AND LOVE MY BROTHER, BUT HE IS NOT A FRIEND.

7. Do you use sarcasm a lot? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION.

11. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? WHAT SHOES?

My simple question was this:

Why would it not accept my answer?

Lovely, But caps are not appropriate even when trying to convey some sort of god like booming voice. When one reads its largely based on word shapes. Using all caps hinders reading, and often makes it it annoying to mud through. May I suggest using a larger font pt and bold when you wish to convey such an effect.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH USING CAPS?

Simple math question: 5+58= ? I'm a pirate! Why do I need numbers!

It's amazing how all caps changes the way my "reading voice" sounds.
