Would you rather?

[The Seamstress]

Painting. At least I would be better protected from any kind of hazard, including humans.

Gaslight or candlelight?

[Jubal]

Candlelight

Be visited by the ghost of a drowned sailor or the ghost of a remorseful priest?

[The Seamstress]

The sailor, he'd probably have the more interesting stories to tell.

Nutella or jam?

[Jubal]

Jam

Chutney or mustard?

[The Seamstress]

Chutney I think... more varieties to choose from?

Would you rather be able to transform into any human or any rabbit at will?

[Jubal]

Any human would have so many uses... though I guess there's a lot of questions here about whether I'd just be wearing their face, or does that mean I also get their brain chemistry etc? Disconcerting possibilities.


Would you rather have disconcerting but mysterious secrets under your floorboards, or disconcerting secrets you knew but were sworn to secrecy about?

[The Seamstress]

Hm, difficult. Knowing the secrets and not being able to talk to anyone about them doesn't seem that good, but on the other hand, not knowing the secrets but knowing they're there might be worse? I think I'd rather know what's going on.

Lasagne or cannelloni?

[Jubal]

Cannelloni

Goose or pheasant?

[The Seamstress]

As a meal? Uh, I don't like the taste of game, so goose I guess? Though I tend to get sick from eating duck, so that's risky as well.

Poppy seed or nuts?

[Jubal]

Nuts

Don the Cape of Owls' Dreams, or the Dress of Water-Songs?

[The Seamstress]

The Dress of Water-Songs. *swirls*

Grow the world's first 10-kilo giant tomato or invent a device for instant-changing human emotions?

[Jubal]

The device sounds... too powerful, I don't think anyone should have one of those. I'll go for the tomato.


You must take a companion to venture into The Dark Ruins of Azhtheorgh. You can take Verity, an Australian nail salon owner who chews a lot of slightly odd smelling gum and thinks that alligators are a type of shoe, or Bertram, an American furniture repairman who keeps his money in a large sock and doesn't believe that the government exists. Would you rather take Verity or Bertram?

[The Seamstress]

I take Verity. Because that odd smelling gum she's chewing? It's a home-made recipe of gum that can be used for everything from ladders to sealing leaks in boats.

Write a letter to the future US president after the election or a letter to a medieval monarch of your choosing? (You'd get a guaranteed answer in both cases.)

[Jubal]

Medieval monarch: far more interesting!

Would you rather fish could produce cheese, or ducks gave humans bread?

[The Seamstress]

I think I opt for the bread here, fish cheese seems a bit ...fishy.

Would you rather accept an invitation for dinner from Gollum or from Sauron?
