Jubal

Dog hearing I think?

Would you rather have 1000 pounds paid to you in free food, or in one pound coins?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

If I don't get all the food at once so it doesn't go bad before I can eat it, definitely the food.

Would you rather be able to hibernate, or have your hair change colour with the seasons (going white in winter)?

Jubal

Ooh. I think if everyone hibernated, I'd happily live in a hibernating society (though I'd get winter FOMO), but I think realistically hair colour changes make more sense and being able to do a really neat Geralt cosplay during the winter months is something I could go for (not that I have the build or stature for it...)

Would you rather spend three months starring in a series of very dull corporate training videos, or spend three months learning tort law?

Son of the King

Definitely the dull training videos, I reckon it'd be possible to have fun doing that.

Would you prefer to not have to sleep, or not have to breathe?

Jubal

Ooh tricky. Not having to breathe feels more actual superpower territory, but then I'd be obligated to go become a diver or firefighter or something. No sleep is more my style.

Would you rather live in a giant's doll house, well cared for but required to obey a giant child, or live in a crack in the giant's walls, scavenge, and be treated as a household pest.
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

The latter, because being subjected to the whims of a giant child would probably not end well.

Street vendors offer you a magical trick to get rid of a thing that bothers you - at least that's what they promise. Would you rather give your money to the tiny old guy, smiling politely, in an old-fashioned suit who looks like he's seen better days long ago OR purchase a trick from the grinning man-sized frog wearing a Hawaiian shirt who looks a little too eager, but seems generally friendly?


Jubal

Always trust frogs. Even if they are a bit slippery.

Would you rather have a bard assigned to write songs in your honour or a ranger assigned to scout out anywhere you were likely to go to check for danger?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Danger ranger? Doesn't seem too bad...

Would you rather have all the things you own turned into plushies, or all plushies you own turned into gold?

Jubal

Oh no that's a terrible choice: losing my guitar, computer, printer, etc would be really really armadillo, but my soft toys all becoming metal would really hurt :( Either way I'd end up losing/wrecking a lot of stuff with big sentimental value. I think probably the plushies becoming gold has to make sense: it produces a lot more value and doesn't wreck any historical artifacts or heirlooms. But ooft.

Would you rather only communicate via pigeon post, or only communicate via semaphore towers?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Pigeon post! I want to hand-write little messages.

Would you rather be obliged to wear an owlbear or pangolin suit whenever you leave the house? Only your face would be visible.

Jubal

Hm. I feel like the owlbear suit would be easier to use actually: the pangolin tail would be a pain given I don't have a way to manipulate it prehensile style like the actual creatures.

Would you rather quatrefoil or cinquefoil?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Cinquefoil.

Would you rather live in a house built in the 16th or in the 19th century?

Jubal

16th. Always here for some big wooden beams!

Would you rather live in a Monastery, or a Tueastery? (What a Tueastery is you can only speculate)
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Hm, in this case I think I'll live in the Monastery, at least I know what to expect there.

Would you rather be friend-shaped or fiend-shaped?

Jubal

Friend-shaped. I think I may in fact be friend-shaped. I hope I am friend-shaped.

Would you rather whales or elephants?
