Would you rather?

[Jubal]

I'm not sure what my favourite film or TV show is, so I'll go for The Exile Princes purely to shut off my own indecision problems

Would you rather have a map that updated with things you needed to find, whether you knew you needed them, or pointed you to people you ought to talk to, whether or not you knew them?

[The Seamstress]

Hm, in this case, I think the people map would be the more important one. Maybe I'd meet The Best Person Ever,... or something.

Would you rather basically live the same life you live now, but everything would take place in the 1970s, or live the same life but it would take place in the 1950s?

[Jubal]

The 70s I think. Twenty more years of medical advancement compared to the 50s for one thing! And I'd be the right age to make a much bigger mark on the games industry than I'll ever actually achieve...

Would you rather drink (regardless of which liquid is involved) from a tumbler or a wine glass?

[The Seamstress]

Tumbler, probably, because I can just put it in the dishwasher whereas a wine glass would need hand washing to not get ruined eventually. But I don't mind, really. My arsenal of drinking vessels includes a bunny mug as well as a kitschy glass goblet, so...


Would you rather be wise or cunning?

[Jubal]

Wise.

Would you rather own a model peacock made of copper or a stone carving of a moose?

[The Seamstress]

Moose.

Would you rather interview a fern plant or a mushroom?

[Jubal]

A mushroom. Death made life incarnate! Potentially glowy or spotty!

Would you rather be in an arranged marriage with a randomly selected billionaire or a randomly selected Scottish farmer?

[The Seamstress]

Not a fan of arranged anything, but: the farmer. (OR marry the billionaire, terrorise him until I get a divorce and one half of the billions, end world hunger and help fight climate change, and then live happily ever after with Scottish Farmer. And if the farmer turns out to be a jerk, repeat and get half of the land, all the sheep, and the fairy living in the wall.)

If the world turned medieval tomorrow, would you rather be hired as a jester or a bard?

[Jubal]

Bard! Absolutely.


Would you rather settle down sharing a flat with one of the aforementioned sheep or the aforementioned fairy living in the wall?

[The Seamstress]

The sheep. Because floof. And the fairy lives in the wall anyway.

Would you rather have the ability to know someone's favourite food or favourite colour just by looking at them?

[Jubal]

Favourite food, I think, easier party planning

Would you rather own a crane (the thing for lifting objects) or a crane (the large bird)?

[The Seamstress]

I wouldn't know what to do with a crane (the thing for lifting objects), so I guess it's got to be the crane (the large bird).

Healing powers or revealing powers?

[Jubal]

...does that imply you do know what to do with a crane (large bird), and if so what?

Healing powers for me!

Learn songs from stone or songs from sky?

[The Seamstress]

...does that imply you do know what to do with a crane (large bird), and if so what?

Uh... living garden decoration? Might eat snails. Can be a friend? Or deliver mail?


As for the songs... depends on what they sound like? Stone, perhaps? Sky seems like it's probably a soprano and best I can do is a wobbly mezzo-soprano. Maybe. On good days.

Would you rather be gifted a slightly dubious parcel wrapped in tinfoil, or a slightly dubious jar wrapped into a piece of black fabric?

[Jubal]

Tinfoil parcel, I think. More possibilities!

Would you rather live in a city where you had to get around by zipwires, or a city where you had to get around by dubiously interlinked magic portals?
