Would you rather?

[Jubal]

A lake, just the surroundings are likely to be prettier. Though I'd prefer a warmish lake if possible.

Would you rather have great courage or great stoicism?

[The Seamstress]

I think I could do with a little more courage. 


Would you rather get life advice from Grizelda The Fortune Teller or from Gregory The Old Grump?

[Jubal]

Grizelda: I don't believe in fortune telling but I do believe that anyone doing it professionally is likely to have a pretty good intuitive read on people and their lives.

Would you rather malachite or amethyst?

[The Seamstress]

Amethyst, I've always liked that one. (Though both are pretty.)


Would you rather make a deal with a lemon or with a demon?

[Jubal]

With a lemon, certainly. I don't think lemons want my soul.

Would you rather have permanently slightly sparkly eyelids or permanently slightly pointy ear tips?

[The Seamstress]

Pointy ear tips! Sparkles would be nice, too, but I usually don't wear makeup, so I think the ears are the better long-term option.

Would you rather have a giant sheep living in your garden, or be a giant sheep living in someone's garden?

[Jubal]

If I got a bigger garden I'd happily have a big sheep. But I think I have to say be a giant sheep because I couldn't bear to keep a giant sheep being very sad on my little terrace

Would you rather hang out with pirates or ninjas?

[The Seamstress]

Ninjas, I think, they seem slightly less brutally murderous? 

Would you rather have chocolate cake or strawberry macarons right now?

[Jubal]

I'd have thought of ninjas as less brutal but more murderous: pirates are just really there to take people's stuff, ninjas have killing as their primary function.

I think chocolate cake for me!

Would you rather your house was painted mint green or duck egg blue?

[The Seamstress]

(I wasn't sure which were worse, as pirates might also kill you. At least on land I'd have a better chance of escaping?)


I'd like a duck egg blue house, though mint would be okay, too!
 

Would you rather be able to memorise everything ever, or be able to completely delete memories of your choosing from your brain?

[Jubal]

I think I have to go with the perfect memory: a bit of a curse, but a curse I think I could make use of.

Would you rather ceiling lights or standard lamps?

[The Seamstress]

IRL I have both, but definitely standard lamps. I use those more often because they make a room feel cosier.

Would you rather have a free, unlimited supply of apples or of potatoes?

[Jubal]

Absolutely apples: I don't really like potatoes, except as crisps or gnocchi!

Would you rather have a beak or a long snout?

[The Seamstress]

A beak. I think I'd look terrible with a snout.

Would you rather want your workplace transformed into a forest or into a mountain meadow?

[Jubal]

A forest: I don't want to climb over a half a kilometre to get to it! And the wind in high mountains would make paperwork a pain.

Would you rather Exilian secretly took over the world, or Exilian openly took over the world?
