Would you rather?

[The Seamstress]

I think I'll opt for the circus skill, as I'm not a big fan of sports. The circus stuff would probably prove more useful in everyday life, too.

Would you rather live in a city on the moon, or under the sea?

[Jubal]

I think I'd go under the sea, I feel like it might be fun to watch fish going past the windows and it's closer to home.

Would you rather have an avocado green bathroom, or have your windows have badly made venetian blinds that get stuck at least twice a week?

[The Seamstress]

Blinds. Because I could just put some curtains up and voilà, problem solved. The avocadoness isn't as easy to fix.

Would you rather be a sailor on a poisonrat-infested ship or a shepherd responsible for radioactive glow-in-the-dark sheep prone to randomly blowing up?

[Jubal]

I think I'd have to go with the sheep because at least I can see them coming better than the rats? Also, very good pseudo-Fallout concept, I feel like that has legs. Or at least will do until the explosion.

Would you rather a really fancy swivel chair or a not-super-fancy throne?

[The Seamstress]

Throne! Sturdy, reliable, stylish.

You're cursed to spend the rest of your life as a sentient vegetable. Would you rather be bell pepper or turnip?

[Jubal]

Bell pepper, I would like to not be buried while alive.

Would you rather have magic powers over lemons, or be able to produce fancy plasterwork ceilings with the power of your mind?

[The Seamstress]

Lemons, solely because it would be funnier.

Would you rather time-travel back and talk to your past self, or go to the future to talk to your future self?

[Jubal]

Assuming I can't affect the timeline by doing this, I think I'd like advice from my future self who will know something of where things are going. If I could affect the timeline, I might be tempted to give advice to my past self...

Would you rather have to keep a duckling in your home, or have a pig living in your office (which you don't have to look after per se but would have free rein in the place)?

[The Seamstress]

I work from home and there are the bunnies who I think wouldn't be too pleased about a duckling, so... the pig? But even if I had an office, probably still the pig. They're allegedly quite intelligent, so I trust it wouldn't get us both into too much of a mess.

Would you rather eat a bowl of the spiciest near-deadly chili on the planet or never cut your hair again?

[Jubal]

Never cut my hair again, that's very easy given my tolerance for normal chili is basically zero. I would look horribly colonialist-appropriative once my hair got long enough to require a turban, but I'd manage.

If you had to go to a course taught by one or the other, would you rather learn from a great medieval alchemist or a great medieval astrologer?

[The Seamstress]

I think I'd choose the alchemist, probably more interesting.

Which magical ability would you rather have: read other people's thoughts, or be invisible at will?

[Jubal]

Uch. Reading other people's thoughts is the more useful one, but also one I'm extremely uncomfortable with because it's so incredibly invasive. But I'd probably have to take that, career switch into investigative journalism, and then go around visiting over-deserved consequences on The Worst People by mind reading where the proverbial bodies are buried.

Same question, but your options are the power of flight (at a fast running pace, and you don't get altitude survival benefits), or the power to pass through solid objects for limited periods a few times a day (so you can walk through walls but not necessarily through mountains, and you can get a few seconds of immunity to bullets by "phasing out" but not for much longer than that).

[The Seamstress]

As long as I'm able to influence the altitude, if not the speed, being able to fly would be great. On the other hand, walking through walls opens a lot of possibilities, like going into buildings at night when no one else is there - I could go to museums, for example, without tons of tourists blocking the view, or sneak into archives to just browse and look at ALL the things.

Would you rather be abducted by aliens or by mutated poisonrats? Both would use you as their spokesman negotiating the terms and conditions of their respective reign over humanity.

[Jubal]

I'm going to be an optimist and say the aliens: in that given we know less about the aliens I think that's rolling the dice more, and the aliens might give us interesting new technology as part of their overlordship or something, which seems less likely with the mutated poisonrats.

Would you rather visit the warren of the easter bunny or the home of the tooth fairy?

[The Seamstress]

Easter bunny. It's a bunny! And there might be chocolate.

You're hired as an actor, would you rather be a side character in a tragicomedy or the lead in a three-hour fantasy epic?
