Would you rather?

[The Seamstress]

Worsted.

Ice tea or hot tea?

[Jubal]

Hot tea

Bolas or atlatl?

[The Seamstress]

Bolas.

Read a study about 18th century Austrian food or about 16th century Italian merchants?

[Jubal]

The Italian merchants (with no disrespect meant to traditional Austrian food, except for the salads which are generally terrible).

Would you rather wear whatever style of clothes you wanted but in lurid fluorescent yellow and lime green, or wear whatever colour of clothes you wanted but the styling had to be modelled on high charting pop bands' stage outfits from the early 2000s?

[The Seamstress]

Ugh, no early 2000s style please and thank you. I think I'd rather dress and look terrible in yellow and lime green.

Would you rather join a cult devoted to everything apricot or a secret society protecting brussels sprouts from being eaten by caterpillars?

[Jubal]

All hail the Apricult! Presumably based in the Wachau.

Would you rather this site had 10 new artists or 10 new writers join?

[The Seamstress]

Oh I'd welcome both, so I don't really have a preference here. Maybe artists, so we get a few nice pictures to look at.

Would you rather publish a book of poems or a novel you wrote?

[Jubal]

A novel. I would, alas, need to finish the novel first

Would you rather learn to be a plumber or an electrician?

[The Seamstress]

A novel. I would, alas, need to finish the novel first

You can do it! *cheer* You don't need to run at hare speed though, turtle steps are fine too


I think I'd rather be a plumber, electricity is scary.

Would you rather learn to be a confectioner or a cook?

[Jubal]

Cook, I'm not sweet toothed

Would you rather have salt-pans of your own or an oast house of your own?

[The Seamstress]

The salt-pans. I could use & sell some of the salt I guess.

Would you rather own a vineyard or a few wheat fields?

[Jubal]

Vineyard

Would you rather have three knightly retainers, or fourteen archers & spearmen that you can levy a few times a year?

[The Seamstress]

I don't know what I'd do with fourteen archers & spearmen, so I guess the knights? One does the cleaning, one the cooking, and the third is assigned to do the grocery shopping and running errands. :p

A delivery guy shows up with two parcels and refuses to leave until you take at least one, both are from unknown senders. Take the tiny blue box with "Fragile" written on it, or the larger plain brown one with mysterious symbols painted all over?

[Jubal]

Tiny fragile thing I think.

Would you rather have some woodland mainly of walnut trees or of cork oaks?

[The Seamstress]

Hm, I think walnut trees. You can't eat cork. (I mean, theoretically you can, but I suspect it might not be advisable.)

Would you rather be able to talk to (or ask a few questions) to walls, or to the ground?
