Experiencing a crisis of self, a man leaves his home behind and travels the globe. A stranger in a strange land, he comes across a quaint and remote village, where the air is clean, and the people are friendly and helpful. The man feels a strange sense of belonging, like he's searched for this place all his life despite never knowing it existed. After only a short glimpse of what the town has to offer, he quickly decides this will be his new home.
The man is welcomed by the village Elder, and given a tour. As the Elder walks him around, he weaves a rich story about each building, each inhabitant, past and present. Finally, the Elder concludes the tour at an immense stone Well, located in the center of town. The Elder smiles, and says "This well is by far the most special part of this village. In fact, I'd say that it's power is the reason you were drawn to this place. On any day of the week except for Wednesday, you can come to The Well, shout any question you'd like down it, and receive an answer to your question."
Full of a mixture of skepticism and wonderment, the man asks the Elder "Why any day but Wednesday?" The elder beams a radiant smile as a voice booms from the bottom of The Well: "Because on Wednesday it's your turn to be in The Well!"
The Rules:
Ask any question down the Well and receive an answer
Serious, funny, off the wall, ridiculous, anything is game (as long as it doesn't break the rules of the site). You may not like the answer you receive. And the answer doesn't have to be direct, or correct, or accurate -- for example, "That's none of your business" is a perfectly acceptable answer. However, being as forthcoming and as engaging as possible is what makes The Well great.
Only one person in The Well at a time.
This means no one answers questions in The Well thread except the person in The Well.
This also means that only one The Well thread will be allowed to be active at any one time.
The current occupant of The Well gets to choose the next occupant.
However, being in The Well is voluntary. If you'd like to volunteer, you can PM the person in The Well to ask to be nominated (best not to post volunteers in The Well thread, save the thread for questions and answers), or the person in The Well can PM you to see if you will agree to take a turn. Peer pressure is allowed and encouraged
but no one can force you in to The Well.
