Would you rather?

[Jubal]

I think the ground has more to say.

Would you rather be granted mysterious and unspecified powers related to bacteria, or to fungi?

[The Seamstress]

Maybe if I had powers related to bacteria, I could banish bacteria-related illness? Give me the bacteria magic.

Would you rather be Lord of The Rings or Lord of The Squirrels?

[Jubal]

Lord of the Squirrels, as much as I love LOTR as a book, I did take the message that there is only one Lord of The Rings - and he does not share power - on board.

Would you rather cry sugar tears or cry vinegar, instead of crying salt water?

[The Seamstress]

Sugar probably, I'm not sure what vinegar would do to my eyes.

Would you rather be abducted by aliens or by pixies?

[Jubal]

I suspect neither sugar nor vinegar would be at all good for one's eyes! I'm not actually sure which would be worse.

I'll be abducted by pixies I think. I feel like I know how to deal with them better, having met *checks notes* about half my friendship circles.

Would you rather amble or saunter?

[The Seamstress]

Based on the translation the internet gives me it's basically the same activity? So I guess I'll just choose the word I find sounds better, which would be amble.

Would you rather be able to communicate only in silly jokes or in silly proverbs?

[Jubal]

I feel like fundamentally I'm a silly proverbs person.

Would you rather become a stand-up comedian or a flamenco dancer?

[The Seamstress]

I don't have any talent for dancing, but I'm also not funny enough to be a comedian... Being a dancer would probably be less embarrassing though, so I'd try that.

You're transported into some medieval world and now you need a job. Would you rather be a weaver's or a doctor's apprentice?

[Jubal]

Doctor's I think. I might have enough modern medical knowledge to be useful!

Would you rather have pigeon-post or semaphore towers set up near you?

[The Seamstress]

Pigeon-post!

Italian or Indian food?

[Tusky]

Indian please!

Sitcom or romcom?

[The Seamstress]

Neither, really... but if it has to be: sitcom.

Fantasy film or mystery TV series?

[Jubal]

Fantasy film I am a predictable lil bean.


Be unable to see your own hands or your own feet (they're still there in either case, just invisible to you specifically)?

[The Seamstress]

Feet I guess? I sit and/or am a blanket-burrito most of the time anyway.

Would you rather accompany an explorer to the Arctic or to a rainforest?

[Jubal]

A rainforest More wildlife to see! Though the arctic would also be cool. Literally.

Would you rather write accounts or risk assessments?
