Would you rather?

[Jubal]

Jam


Owlbear or Gryphon?

[The Seamstress]

Owlbear. Though I think I prefer the plush variety.

Have a sentient cheese wheel or a sentient crisp as a pet? (Both can talk.)

[Jubal]

The cheese wheel, I'd be much less worried about breaking it.

Go to a vampire doctor or a werewolf doctor?

[The Seamstress]

Werewolf doctor. The vampire would probably be a bit to keen on getting bloodwork done every time I go there. My iron levels are too low for that.

It's Halloween eve and you're driving down a spooky dark forested road when you suddenly need to go to the bathroom. Ahead is a gas station with one employee inside, wearing a creepy clown costume. Would you rather stop there, or park the car somewhere further away to go into the deep dark woods?

[Jubal]

The most troubling thing about this scenario is really the bit where I'm driving a car. I don't have a license and don't know how to drive, this is very illegal and I'm actually therefore the largest threat to everything else in the area. Discounting that issue, realistically, the petrol station (I am British and refuse to call them gas stations, petrol isn't gaseous). It's not about the percieved danger levels, it's about having a flushing toilet or not. I am not a violent man, and in general I get on very well with nature, but I will fight a clown murderer if it means getting to use a decent loo.

Be unexpectedly proclaimed ruler of a tiny Pacific island with fifty inhabitants, or be unexpectedly proclaimed ruler of Monaco?

lol 

I wasn't aware it's petrol station in British English, I thought it was gas station everywhere. So, duly noted!

Be unexpectedly proclaimed ruler of a tiny Pacific island with fifty inhabitants, or be unexpectedly proclaimed ruler of Monaco?

I wouldn't want to be ruler of anything, but I guess being ruler of 50 people would be easier than being ruler of Monaco? I could probably just leave them be and they'd go on living just fine.

Have one giant rabbit familiar or a herd of tiny siege rabbits?

[Jubal]

I think the giant rabbit. I'd like to hug a giant rabbit at the moment.

Live in Skyrim or Cyrodiil?

[The Seamstress]

I don't know either so I guess I'll just say Skyrim, the name is pretty at least.

Dress up for Halloween as Mothman or as Bigfoot?

[Jubal]

I don't know either so I guess I'll just say Skyrim, the name is pretty at least.

Both from The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is the northern-central province on the continent of Tamriel, notable for snow, pseudo-Viking aesthetics, being kinda xenophobic and dragons, lots of dragons. Cyrodiil or the Imperial Province is to its south and is the heartland of the Empire and the setting for the game Oblivion: it has the Imperial capital city and a bit more of a cosmopolitan, southern-to-central European sort of aesthetic.

I guess I'll say mothman? I don't have a strong opinion between these two cryptids but I think I'm too short to be bigfoot effectively.

Would you rather write 1000 words of a book or write one short but slightly awkward email?

[The Seamstress]

(Thank you for explaining, I'm not sure if the dragons would be friendly and I don't like xenophobes, so I think I'll move to Cyrodiil instead...)

Hm... depends on what I'd say in the e-mail and who it is I'm writing to I guess. If it's work-related I think I'd rather have that out of the way, if it's more personal I might want to think about what and how to say it a bit more before writing? I think I'll go for the book, lol.

You lost a bet: Be slathered in or eat 2 kilos of nutella?

[Glaurung]

It depends how long I'd be given to eat the Nutella. If it's a few days, eat it, definitely; if it's something like an hour, then be slathered in it.

Rome or Venice?

[Tusky]

Trade your soul for musical talent like Robert Johnson, or stay as young as you want like Dorian Gray

[Jubal]

Do we not get an answer for Rome or Venice?

I think if I believe souls exist, I have to go for the Dorian Gray option, especially since this doesn't stipulate that I have to go in for horrible debauchery so actually I can stay as young as I want and just use this to play computer games for longer stretches without getting backache

Would you rather croissants or bagels?

[Tusky]

Do we not get an answer for Rome or Venice?

Oh! I did answer but must have accidentally deleted. I chose Rome 

Next one: croissants please!

Orangutans or proboscis monkeys?

[Jubal]

Orangutans. Proboscis monkeys are fun but orangutans are very friends.

Sol Invictus or Aten?
