Would you rather?

Mahogany.

You loose a bet, and now have to do one totally silly and out-of-character thing: Would you rather dye your hair neon-yellow and talk with a squeaky duck-voice for a week (going to work and all), or climb a tree in a park and yell "Dingdong I'm Big Ben" really loudly for an hour (or as long as you can without being arrested)?

Jubal

Tree climbing!

You have been elected to a random parliament, but can choose whether to be a parliamentarian in Bhutan or in Uruguay. Which would you rather?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Hm, I'm definitely not qualified for any political position anywhere, but I guess Bhutan sounds not too bad a place to live and work? So I'd go there.

Some evil wizard turns you into a teapot, irreversibly. Would you rather spend the rest of your teapot-life in a café or in the home of a friendly old village witch?

Jubal

Hm, the cafe, more people and more interest.

Would you rather eat a sugar-cube size block of salt or of sugar?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Sugar!

Would you rather own a dustbin that turns everything you put in into crystals, or an oven that turns everything into bricks?

Jubal

Crystal dustbin, definitely.

Would you rather have a henchman who is an orc or who is a goblin?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

I think the goblin might be less evil-minded than the orc, so I'd say goblin.

Would you rather learn to write with your non-dominant hand, or to speak backwards fluently?

Jubal

Hm, I'd use neither skill unless it was Arabic or Hebrew I was learning to write and I know neither: I think backwards speaking sounds a good party trick.

Would you rather live in a giant snail-shell or a giant hagstone with a little roof on top?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Hagstone. I don't like anything snail.

Would you rather be a ruler (a leader of people) or a ruler (the thing you use to measure stuff)?

Jubal

I will lead people. Do I think I'll be good at it? Probably not, but I'm also not sure I can do a worse job than the current options.

Would you rather I be a leader, or a measuring device?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Be a leader, so you keep your human form.

If you were software, would you rather be MS Paint or Powerpoint?

Jubal

I could keep my human form and be a measuring ruler, it's just you can now only measure lengths in Jameses, and can't measure lengths shorter than an approximate James:)

Oh that's really difficult. I think I'd like to be MS Paint, because I associate it with a sort of arbitrary childish creativity.

A less pleasant choice: if you were a browser, would you rather be Chrome or Microsoft Edge?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Well that could actually work, lol. Like ells or something. What's one James converted into ells?

I think I'd rather be Edge... Both are not nice but I've never used Chrome so I'd stick to what's at least a little familiar.

Would you rather make ends meet or meet ends make?

Jubal

I think making ends meet is a good starting point.

You get the chance to rid the world of one annoying but usually non-fatal disease. Would you rather hayfever or eczema didn't exist?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Oof, tough question, because both affect a lot of people and can be quite stressful. But hayfever is seasonal whereas eczema isn't (as far as I know)? Sensitive skin is a p-i-t-a in general, so let's get rid of eczema.

Would you rather be a chip or crisp?
