[netbook] would you rather...

[eidxiety]

Hi, it's Ain! And I'm bored, so you're all going to play games now :O

The game is "would you rather"! The rules are easy:

1. You have to ask a question in the format of "would you rather do this thing or this other thing?" For example "would you rather eat pizza or hotdogs?"
2. You answer people's questions. It's more fun if you give a reasoning as to why you answered this way. Also, you can't say "none of the above" or "neither" or "both" or anything like that, you have to pick one of the things!
3. After you answer a question, it would be nice if you come up with more questions for others to answer.

That's it! I'll start by giving you guys a set of three questions to answer for an example and also to get us started :D

- Would you rather find out you're living with 10,000 cockroaches, or find out you're living with a person you didn't know about in your attic?
- Would you rather be loved for everything you’re not, or liked for everything you are?
- Would you rather be forced to sing along or dance to every single song you hear?

Okay, go!!

Hello there! I am eager to try this "would you rather".

1. I think I'd rather find out I'm living with a person I didn't know about in my attic... I know this seems to be a common answer, but ten thousand cockroaches is quite a few, and I think we would fight for space...

2. This is a difficult one! I only have a limited capacity to love, so I think I'd prefer to be liked for everything I am. That seems far less tragic for everyone involved.

3. Dance! I think it would be less awkward, given I can't speak aloud...

My question is: Would you rather sleep for a hundred years and wake up to everything being the same as it was except everyone has forgotten you, or sleep for five minutes and wake up to everything being different except everyone remembers you?

Yayyy, hi Ms. Angel!!

1. Cockroaches are gross but easily killed by chemicals and fire if they become a problem :O I seem to be the odd man out who would rather have the grossnasty bugs (that are gross and also nasty).

2. Where did your love go?

3. You can't speak????? I'm missing crucial facts about you!!!

Definitely five minutes. I have a fear of abandonment like that. People did used to forget me because of my own angelic powers, but those have gone away now. It still freaks me out though. ^^;

New question: Would you rather be the absolute best at something that no one takes seriously or be average at something well respected?

[quietangel]

Hiiiii!

Wait, are we allowed to kill the cockroaches? I thought we were going to have to live with them. Am I allowed to change my answer?

I'm cursed! Though, it does not seem to work here...? I wasn't allowed to show particular favor to any one individual or something terrible would happen... also, no, I am physically mute! I can only speak with others telepathically.

Oh, I see, that makes sense. That sounds awful!

I would rather be the absolute best at something that no one takes seriously. My personal pride in my ability to achieve perfection takes precedence over the opinions of others, I think.

Would you rather wake up with a different hair color everyday or be forced to wear the same outfit for the rest of your life?

[ofboreas]

Bet I could squash 'em double time.

[quietangel]

But what happens to the house afterward if ten thousand cockroaches have been squished into the floor...?

[ofboreas]

Anemo, Firefly. Who do you think I am?
One solid woosh and they're all out of the window!

[quietangel]

Wouldn't that affect the house as well? If you're creating enough of a gust to blow away the corpses of ten thousand cockroaches, imagine what you'd do to the interior!

[ofboreas]

Wouldn't it be worth it? To get rid of the bugs?

[quietangel]

I suppose so...

Okay. New question! Would you rather have to do ten push-ups every thirty minutes, or push something incredibly heavy two feet every hour?

[ofboreas]

Push-ups, easy! I could do that in my sleep!

What about you?

[quietangel]

I would push something heavy two feet every hour! I did not specify that it would have to be by hand, ergo...

[ofboreas]

Clever! I guess I should have asked.
You might be too smart for me!

[quietangel]

Oh, I don't know about that! It's your turn to ask another question.

[ofboreas]

Mm...

Accomplish a great feat near home and have everyone know you were a hero? Or accomplish something world-saving where no one will ever see it happen?

[quietangel]

[ Ah. This question seems pointed, somehow. ]

If it were me, I would want to accomplish something world-saving where no one will ever see it happen. It already aligns with the Hexenzirkel's role. Although — the likelihood of something like that happening in complete isolation seems low to me.

[eidxiety]

You can kill! It's just the discovery that you're living with them :O Also I'm sorry about your curse :(

I think I would do the hair colour because I could make different outfits to match. My hair was actually different via magic a few years ago :O It used to have a bright blue on the underside of it. It started to shift fully silver when I started to abandon the Goddess a little bit more, but I wouldn't mind if it wanted to be colourful again.

Would you rather never eat cookies ever again or only ever drink water?

[lilyberation]

: (

[eidxiety]

That's not how I meant ittttt and you know it :(

[quietangel]

I am changing my answer, then! Ten thousand cockroaches it is. And that's okay, being here seems to have nullified it!

Oh, that's a good point. If you don't mind having to align it to your outfits every day, then it might even be a fun challenge! Perhaps it could take on a similar appearance to what your hair used to be like, but the hue would shift daily... something all your own.

I would rather never eat cookies ever again. I enjoy tea far too much.

Would you rather have to sleep upside down every night or have to commit to an hour long routine prior to going to sleep every night?

[eidxiety]

I prefer cheesecake myself, so I agree with you :O

I think I'd rather just do the hour-long routine. What's the routine? If it's taking a bath and doing my skincare stuff I already take an hour on that.

Would you rather have to wear sweatpants everywhere for the rest of your life or never wear sweatpants again?

[quietangel]

Cheesecake is very good. There are very few pastries I don't enjoy, though.

Hmm, I hadn't thought about the specifics of the routine! Since I was vague, it could theoretically be anything, so long as it took you an hour. I unintentionally made it rather easy!

I would rather never wear sweatpants again, on account of not knowing what sweatpants are!

Would you rather have a beautiful singing voice that would lead one individual to their demise every day, or have a voice so off-putting that it frightened most people away?

[eidxiety]

You've never worn sweatpants? Wowww... I'm going to have to change your life. They usually have an elastic or tied waistband and are baggy and warm and cozy. They're sleepwear! But sometimes you wear them grocery shopping because you were too lazy to get dressed that day or something.

I think I would rather sing and kill people. Do I get to choose the victim?

Assuming that you have a dog (or any other animal you want to swap out here): Would you rather only be able to talk to your dog, or for your dog to be able to talk to only you and everyone thinks you’re insane?

[quietangel]

Is it that surprising? I rarely deviate from wearing my usual outfit, as it has become a uniform of sorts... Oh, but you say they're sleepwear? Sleepwear that you can wear outdoors from time to time? That does sound very comfortable...

Hmmm! Let's go with yes. In ancient mythos, victims were often chosen deliberately when such creatures were present, so it would make sense to me.

Oh, I would definitely take the latter. If I could only ever talk to one creature I would go insane, so others questioning my sanity does not seem too terrible a drawback. Besides, eccentricity can be very charming!

Would you rather have to walk on your hands all day and only be able to walk upright at night, or have to traverse the world by somersault?
