Would you rather?

[The Seamstress]

More cute creatures, even if they're common.

You won some lottery and are now allowed to go into a shop and get everything you want for free, but can only do so for two hours (the things you choose will be delivered to you, so you don't have to carry anything): electronics retailer or furniture shop?

[Jubal]

Electronics I think just makes more financial sense.

Would you rather ring the bells or raise the banners?

[The Seamstress]

Dunno, ring the bells maybe? Unless I get eaten by wereworms if I do so.

Would you rather start a second career as an archivist or an archaeologist?

[JessMahler]

Archivist. Summers spent at digs ain't happening in my life right now.

Eternal summer or eternal winter?

[The Seamstress]

Winter, definitely. Summers are way too hot nowadays.

Would you rather be able to magically influence people's thoughts and behaviour, or transform them into toads?

[Jubal]

The former seems like a power nobody should have access to, so I'll just toadify a few people.

Would you rather lose your phone or your wallet/purse?

[The Seamstress]

Oh gosh, that's tough. Neither! The wallet would really be annoying because I'd have to get copies of all my documents like driver's license & stuff... But the phone has photos and chats and contacts, so I think I'd rather keep that one.

Would you rather be able to switch on your head to glow like a lightbulb, or to record videos with your eyes so everything you see gets sent to your computer in mp4 format?

[Jubal]

Video eyeballs would actually be extremely useful, though I'd need an awful lot of extra storage unless the resolution was very poor.

Would you rather have a new fan (of your work) or a new fan (a very pretty one for keeping oneself cool in summer months)?

[The Seamstress]

I like fans (for keeping myself cool) but already own a few, so a human fan (of my work) would be a nice change I guess.

Would you rather your flat was haunted by the ghost of a shrimp or the ghost of a lizard?

[Jubal]

Shrimp ghost, they move less fast.

Would you rather move to Colombia or to Kenya?

[The Seamstress]

Colombia, I think. Kenya has a bit too much desert for my taste.

Ravioli or Tortellini?

[Jubal]

Ravioli

Pompey or Antony?

[The Seamstress]

I dunno. Is this about people or about places? I'll just make a random guess and say Antony.

Would you rather be a freemason or an alien?

[Jubal]

(People - both were some of the losing leaders in the various civil wars at the end of the Roman Republic )

I'd rather be an alien: if taken in the sense of foreign presence, or in the sense of deeply weird, I already am one, and to become a Freemason I'd have to convert to a religion which I'm not super keen on.

Would you rather be a cryptid or a stonemason?

[The Seamstress]

Well, I might already be a cryptid depending on who you ask, so I'll just be a cryptic stonemason.

Would you rather play chess with Winnie the Pooh or with Paddington Bear?
