Catchup: it's not just a vegetable.

So I come back after several decades of your time spent trying to teach my boy how to teleport, and find that in my absence I was invited to a party. And that unfortunately during that party I was, in fact, present in this universe, and I can't actually be in the universe at two different moments without a lot more effort than I want to go through for a party thrown by mortals... and now I feel so damn old. I missed a party because I was with my kid. Goddamnit, I'm a soccer dad. This was not what I pictured when I planned to shake up the Continuum by having a child...

Anyway.

What is your most treasured possession and why?

My powers. Inasmuch as I have possessions at all.

If you could trade lives with one person for a day, who would it be, and what would you do?

Trade lives? Why ever would I want to do that? My life may not be perfect, true, but it's a far sight better than anyone else's pathetic little life.

What is your worst character flaw?

I am too generous and forgiving.

Which are you more afraid of: Being too gullible and believing things that aren't true, or being too skeptical and missing out on something important?

I'm a Q. If I miss out on learning something important, well, all of time and space is my playground, so sooner or later I'll get to it. If I believe something that's not true, however, the other Q will laugh at me. So my priorities are pretty clear.

If you could only carry one memory with you into the afterlife, which would you choose?

Again with the mortal-centric questions! I don't get an afterlife. My people chose to take our afterlives while we were still alive, which is to say, we are immortal and indestructible, except when we shoot each other, at which point we are eternally dead.
