I was about to say rat, because they are cute and brainy. But then I remembered the various real and fictional horror stories involving rats, so have changed my mind to mouse.

Would you rather that someone delivered a perfect replica the titanic to your house tomorrow for you to do with as you please (or as you are able, considering you'll need to get it to the sea and moor it somewhere), or the Bismarck

The titanic. Much comfier.


Would you rather attempt to handwrite formally in a new alphabet despite the fact you can't do in your native one, or try to pronounce words in the relevant language despite the fact you have no idea how to physically form the required mouth shapes? (I may be doing both :/)

I suppose the latter, since the worst that is happening is your mouth looks a bit odd. I don't think that is an issue for someone speaking in not their native language in my opinion! (hope you get it)

Would you rather never be allowed to use anything as a towel again and have to drip dry whenever you are wet, or you can only wear Christmas jumpers on your top half - the kind that have little flashing LED's going all the time

The latter of course - since I didn't want to wear Christmas jumpers on my bottom half anyway :P

Cake, I think. Though it's nonspecific about the cake type and the chocolate bar type and those make a lot of difference.

Last of the Mohicans or Treasure Island?

I am fine as a non-cow entity, thanks. I choose FLEE FOR YOUR LIFE

Would you rather....

1. Every 3 months you can go back in time and have a one-hour conversation with the historical figure of your choice, in the setting and context of your choosing (being able to understand each other perfectly).

The cost of this power is that when you are in the present a tearful person will forever more follow you around, looking very concerned at you as if you are terribly upset but are managing to bear it well. Generally, they will keep their distance but from time to time they'll come over with a hanky and dab it at your eyes as if they have just managed to prevent a sudden upwelling of tears and blow their own nose. If someone asks you or them what is wrong, they won't speak, but begin to noisily weep and break down as though the very thought of it can't bear repeating - and the asker should know better than to bring it up.  You will not be able to tell anyone what is going on.

or

2. Once per day you must summon 500g to 1kg of 1 item of food. For example, some truffles, pastries, carrots, rice or anything. Full meals don't count. They can be cooked or uncooked and must be consumed by you.

The cost of this power is that the food item is brought to you by a very swarthy looking person. They will follow you around for 10 of your waking hours. You will need to share the food with them. They will evilly chuckle and look at you knowingly (and the food whilst it is near you) as if to suggest that there is something very sinister about what you have done or where the food came from. If anyone asks you or them what they are doing there they will laugh in quite a maniacal fashion and look from you to them in astonishment that you haven't explained what's going on. You will not be able to tell anyone what is going on.

Power 1. Makes my job easier, and I can deal with "permanently kinda sad" better than the awkwardness of sinister.

Rock Golem, Metal Golem, Folk Golem or Freestyle Rap Golem?
