[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!!

Seems like I know you pretty well, huh?

[quietangel]

If you are so sure of that, what is a drink you think I would actually enjoy?

[ofboreas]

Well, I'm going to need a little more information than that. Work with me here!

Sweet? Or dry?
Bubbly or no?

[quietangel]

Hmmm... I think I would prefer something sweet, but as for it being bubbly or not, I don't have a particularly strong opinion on.

[ofboreas]

Right, right.
And as far as how strong your drinks are, what do you usually prefer?

[quietangel]

As strong as you like! My unique constitution makes me unable to get drunk, at least so far as I have been able to tell.

[ofboreas]

Then it sounds like you might appreciate Death After Noon. One part Dandelion Wine, one part Sparkling White Wine.
I bet it might even manage to get you buzzed.

[quietangel]

The names that Mondstadt attributes to their drinks never ceases to raise an eyebrow.

[ofboreas]

I think they're clever!

[quietangel]

I will keep the drink in mind, though I highly doubt it'd even be able to scratch the surface on making me inebriated.

[ofboreas]

Might have to put that to the test! I'm sure the bartender will let me scrounge a few things together.
He looks like someone I used to know, you know. Him and his sibling!

[quietangel]

”A few things” meaning the equivalent to what would concoct that drink? Are you a practiced mixologist?

Who might that be?

[ofboreas]

Of course I am! It's practically how you prove your Mondstadt citizenship.

You ever meet Diluc and Kaeya? Pair of brothers. I was, uh... Good friends with their dad.

[quietangel]

Meet may be a strong word - observe is likely closer. I do recall Master Crepus, though. Hmmm. Good friends… I see! I can see what you are hinting at.

[ofboreas]

Right. Well. I look out for them from time to time. Seems only fair, considering.
Anyway. The two here. I swear, even their names are similar. It almost feels like... some cosmic joke. Diluc and Kaeya. Luca and Kiera... One of 'em is even a bartender, you know! And he has the hair! Bit redder than theirs but...

... I'm reading too much into it, aren't I?

[eidxiety]

There are four of me :O So there are probably four of Mr. Bartender and Ser Kitty too!

[cryopathy]

What a specific number! I certainly hope not. One Luca is far more than the world can handle, I fear.

[ofboreas]

Sorry. What?

[eidxiety]

I found out like a year or two ago that there's kind of a butterfly effect on Elrios and it made other timelines when me and my friends did things. So for example there's a version of me in the woods who is feral and demonic and bites people :O And that's why we have two Elswords. But there could be more! ^^

Elrios is weird :O

[ofboreas]

You know, when you put it that way, it doesn't sound so strange. I got a good look at who I could have been once. Guess it probably wouldn't be so strange to you if that guy showed up instead of me.

Pfff, then again, how would you know any better?

[cryopathy]

*both of them are bartenders!

[ofboreas]

Hah. My mistake.

[quietangel]

Are you truly asking someone like me a question about overthinking things?

In all seriousness, fate contains many branching paths and possibilities. It would not be strange for there to be tethers between those possibilities that results in similarities!

[ofboreas]

Hah. Good way of looking at it.

Thanks, Nicole.
