Bad tasting: there's a lot more bad tasting than bad smelling food.


Would you rather quail in fear or fear all quail?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

I do some quailing in fear already so I'm used to it. I don't want to fear all quail because they're cute. So the former.

Would you rather have an euro-coins-producing houseplant or a gold-cube-pooping wombat?

Jubal

Gold cube wombat is objectively the more cost effective choice I think. Though also harder to care for. But I could probably hire someone to care for it with the money I got from selling gold poo cubes. Maybe do a deal with an Australian wildlife sanctuary where they took care of it in exchange for half its poop.

Would you rather own Rockall or Sealand?

The Seamstress

I think I'll be the owner of Rockall. I looked at pictures and kinda like it. All rock. Rock all. Cute.

Would you rather learn to speak an Austrian dialect of your choice, or learn to speak Hungarian?

Jubal

Austrian dialect, dear goodness, being able to speak German of any kind would be a significant advantage. And it would be pretty funny if I could be indignantly Styrian at people (and for the record I would pick Styrian).

Would you rather German moved to using the Georgian alphabet or to using the Glagolitic alphabet?

(What's so special about Styrian? *pouts in Lower Austrian* Though afaik they're not too different.)

The Georgian alphabet, it looks prettier!

Would you rather be a medieval knight or an early modern diplomat?

Styria has a better colour scheme and makes cider. Sorry to Lower Austria!

I'd be an early modern diplomat, some small part of my brain would like to imagine Knightly James but I am a small chronically ill man and putting me on a horse encased in metal would be a bad plan.

Would you rather be a perfume maker in ancient Mesopotamia, or a local religious practitioner in some central Asian mountains in the medieval period?

The Seamstress

Fair. :P

I'd be a perfume maker! Perfume is nice. Though the quiet mountain life has its appeal, I'm not religious. And I'd rather do something creative.

You're magicked into an RPG! Would you rather fight Ronald The Cave Beast (attacks with boulders and smells really bad) or take the  King's quest to find Olga The Elusive (last seen in a very dubious tavern and rumoured to sneak poisonrats into the clothes of people who annoy her, which is basically everyone)?

Jubal

Ronald. Do not like the idea of lots of small creatures attacking me.

Would you rather change the red in the Austrian flag to green, or the white to light blue?

The Seamstress

Green. Looks better combined with white than red combined with light blue. Also I like green.

Would you rather eat a whole jar of Nutella or a whole jar of peanut butter in one go?

Jubal

Either would make me very sick, but also, nutella.

Would you rather attempt to eat a whole wheel of cheese or an equivalent weight of roast hog?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Roast hog. I like cheese but too much of it and my body will say "No, absolutely not".

You're lost in the woods! Would you rather be adopted by a badger or by deer?

Jubal

Badger. They are fluffy. Also scarier if I need my adoptive animal parent to stand up for me. Also, badger is badger and thus good.

Would you rather stronger arms or stronger legs?

The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Stronger legs I think, that would enable me to take more walks or go hiking without feeling tired quickly.

Blackberries or blueberries?

Jubal

Blackberries:)

Steamer trunk or ye olde style medieval chest?
