The Seamstress

Uh, generic general, I guess? I don't feel very admirable usually.

Would you rather be stranded on an island with Winnie the Pooh or with Donald Duck?

Jubal

Pooh, I think. More comforting.

Would you rather the alphabet changed tomorrow, but the script stayed the same, or the script was totally novel but the alphabet was entirely different?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

I'd rather keep the alphabet?

Would you rather jump into a fountain in the city and dance around in it, or do something that's only revealed after you accept, as a dare? The latter involves water, too.

Jubal

I would like to check the legality of fountain dancing before answering that, but I'd probably take the fountain jump, depending also on who was giving me the dare.

Would you rather be a member of Robin Hood's or Song Jiang's famous bands of medieval outlaws?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Robin Hood I guess, it's more familiar. And they're in a forest, which is nice.

Would you rather write a novel about a real historical person or about one you made up?

Jubal

I think my ideal is "real but we know almost nothing about them", so I'll go made up since that's probably closer.

Would you rather be given a shiny pebble or a particularly large and neatly formed pinecone?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Pebble! I like fancy rocks.

Have tea with Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple?

Jubal

Miss Marple I think.

Have to send all your texts in caesar shift ciphers, or have to send all your texts in semaphore with little flags that attach to the side of your phone?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Caesar cipher, I think, it seems to be more fun.

Be a bee or have a hare?

Jubal

Have a hare!

Duck a duck or badger a badger?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Badger the badger, for a photo?

Build a huge model of a real city, or build a model of a fantasy city of your choice?

Jubal

If I can do a historical period of a real city, that, if not, fantasy city over modern city.

Would you rather be haunted by ghosts or pursued by slow, shambling zombies?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

I think the zombies, because they're slow? I always wonder why people in horror movies get caught when they could easily outrun the zombies??

Would you rather be jury member in a pumpkin growing competition or in a pumpkin eating competition?

Jubal

Growing, I think I could judge pumpkins.

Would you rather have a radio interview about something you knew a modest amount about but enough to know how much you didn't know, or something you absolutely clearly knew nothing at all about so you can be blissfully unaware of how badly you're doing at it?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Hm, I think the former. Not knowing anything at all is worse because I doubt I would be unaware of it, just going mute out of embarrassment, probably.

Would you rather have five characters (of your choice) from The Exile Princes come to life, or five characters from your favourite film or tv show?
