Depends on which kind of hat I guess, but at the moment I'm in BIG HAT mood.

Fried rice or noodles?

Tusky

Noodles!

For the rest of your life you must wear a tutu or tap dancing shoes
<< Signature redacted >>

The Seamstress

Probably the dancing shoes, the tapping would be annoying but at least I'd have more outfit options.

Frog or toad?

Jubal

frob:)

Isonzo river or Texel island?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Texel!! They have THE DRESS (and other fascinating objects) in Kaap Skil Museum, from that shipwreck discovered a few years ago, and it would be really cool to see it IRL. Also: beaches to go to & look for treasures.

Be the protagonist in Ocarina of Time or in Spyro the Dragon?

Jubal

Ocarina of Time, I think. I like my thumbs opposable and my body shape broadly humanoid.

Learn magical singing from the sirens, or magical riddles from the fairies?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

The singing probably, I'd very much like my singing to be better and the sirens might have some advice. (Though I've no intention to lure anyone to their death.)

Wear a mushroom hat or a moss cloak?

Jubal

Moss cloak, that sounds AMAZING and very very my aesthetic.

Visit Minas Tirith or Cair Paravel?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Minas Tirith I think.

Live one month as a fictional character of your choice, or have said fictional character share your flat with you for one month?

Jubal

Oh difficult. I think I get a flat-share arrangement, and get someone magical to solve a lot of my life problems in that time in exchange for food.

Would you rather select 1 free book from a random antiquarian bookshop in Cecil Court, or 1 free book from the entire catalogue of everything the folio society has ever published?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Ooh, that's a tough decision! I want both! But I think I'd try my luck in Cecil Court (which I had to google because I hadn't heard of it), that sounds like a cool place to explore.

Would you rather live a week as a troll or as a sentient rock?

Jubal

I haven't been to Cecil Court in years for probably obvious reasons but yes, it's very good. I wish Vienna had an equivalent, though I guess even if it did the books would mostly be in German.

I'd be a troll. I could see myself relaxing under a bridge for a while.

Would you rather lose the bottom half of a leg and have a beautifully carved wooden leg, or lose an eye and have a large free selection of very fancy embroidered eyepatches?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Personally I only know of a few antiquarian bookshops in the 1st district but yes, mostly German (and mostly rather expensive).

Hm, I guess the leg would be preferrable in this case.

Communicate with an unknown entity who claims to be a saint, or with the ghost of a raccoon who eats aethereal trash?

Jubal

If I can properly communicate with the raccoon ghost - like, it speaks, or I get taught to speak raccoon - then that, if not, the saint.

Would you rather meet the most deviously cunning person in Gloucestershire, or the most sarcastic person in the city of Hong Kong?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

I'd rather go to Gloucestershire than to Hong Kong, but I don't want to meet the most deviously cunning person in case they mean me harm, so I guess the sarcastic one would be the safer option.

Be a centaur or merman?
