Oou. Gold I think, I'm more a warm colours person. And gold tarnishes less and takes less looking after iirc. But I don't really wear jewellery of any kind.

Have six toes or have webbed toes?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

I don't know what I'd need a sixth toe for, so webbed, I guess.

Run for president or run away?

Jubal

Latter always tempting but at the end of the day I'd do the former.

Would you rather experience great fear and great hope, or experience neither?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

A life without hope wouldn't be that good, and fear isn't only bad, it also protects you from danger, so I guess I'll vote for hope & fear here.

Would you rather be a hedgehog with magical abilities, or a badger capable of solving the greatest mysteries of space?

Jubal

I think I'm just more of a badger person. So badger.

Would you rather your floor was carpeted in loose sheets of paper, or in dry leaf-litter?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

The sheets of paper would probably not stay in place and annoy me, so I'm all for the leaf litter. It would feel like a forest, but inside!

Would you rather be able to transform your thoughts into actual real things, or make things disappear by just thinking they should disappear?

Jubal

Both sound very dangerous indeed! I think making real things out of my thoughts? Probably? I'm more a create than a destroy person. But also, thinking "all the Russian army's tanks and all the planet's nuclear weapons should disappear" has something to recommend it. Still, creation not destruction on balance.

Quail egg or ostrich egg?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Quail egg. Ostrich eggs are kinda creepy in their huge-ness. It doesn't seem normal, like the eggs came from some giant lizard that's not supposed to exist, according to science.

Paint with watercolours or oil colours?

Jubal

Oou, oils I think? I'm bad with either.

Sculpt with clay or modelling putty?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Hm, I think it'll be clay, as I'm more familiar with it. But I've never tried modelling putty, so I'd be curious about that, too.

Make a sci-fi film or a documentary?

Jubal

Sci fi film would be more more fun, let's do that. Documentary more realistic I think.

Do stone carving or quill pen on parchment writing?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Ooh, both would be tempting. But I think quill pen on parchment writing.

Would you rather all natural light came from the sun or from the moon?

Jubal

I guess the sun, on account of I don't think plants would survive in only moonlight. But I'd miss moonlight.

Would you rather learn fluent Coptic or Syriac?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Hm, Syriac I think. From what I gather reading about it on Wikipedia it seems to have been relatively wide-spread, so I'd have more to read/explore. Though both look interesting.

Would you rather have strawberries grow on your head, or beans growing out of your ears?

Jubal

Strawberries I guess? I feel like I could get a more useful quantity of strawberries on my head in exchange for the inconvenience.

Would you rather be revered as a living saint now, or be revered as a saint after your death (and thus never know about it or have a chance to shape how people thought of you)?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...
