WOULD YOU RATHER-



1. Post with your character.

2. In your comment, have your character ask a question. Would you rather ________ or _________, where the blanks are anything your character would like to know from anyone who might respond. Maybe they're asking out of curiosity. Maybe they have a dilemma of their own. Who knows.

3. Respond to other characters, whatever catches your own character's interest or whatever they'd like to talk about. Maybe they can't decide between the two. Maybe it's an easy answer. Maybe they think the question sucks. Discuss. Chat. Take turns.

4. ????????

5. Profit.

Answering for myself? Never eat dessert again. I'm not super human, I have to work to maintain this figure.

If you ask Speed, I'm absolutely crazy to choose this.

[grayshulk]

To be honest, I'd pick the same. Trying to maintain any kind of body weight out of hulk form with the demands of a hulk metabolism without protein would be just asking for a would of hurt.

[helpdesk_hero]

I absolutely believe you. I mean, not the Hulk, but I definitely knew a few X-Men on seriously restrictive diets.

Of course with a speedster metabolism, the sugar is more of an important concern for them, for quick burn. Sure, he goes through a lot of carbs and meat too, but he would swear he lives on coffee and sugar.

Me? If I could only eat dessert I'd never get a nice eggs benedict again. Or have a reason to make a souffle.

[grayshulk]

Funny the different ways abilities mess with us all.

Do you make many souffles? Better question, do they survive the process of making them?

[helpdesk_hero]

Depends on who is around when I'm making them. One survived Logan shouting once, only to collapse when a newer student accidentally hit a baseball through the kitchen window.

I was not amused.

[grayshulk]

That would have been extremely frustrating.

But it's admirable that you keep trying.

[helpdesk_hero]

I gave up after the fourth one was ruined when Scott and Logan got into a shouting match.

Which was the second souffle they had ruined that week.

So I stick to less complicated cooking.

[grayshulk]

Someday, you'll have access to a quieter kitchen.

Until then, I think you're up for a would you rather.

[helpdesk_hero]

You're not wrong...

Would you rather give up your powers, or see Captain America give you his most powerful 'I'm Disappointed in you' look?

[grayshulk]

I'm kind of immune to disappointment from male authority figures at this point. If it resolved my current power issues, he could be disappointed with me forever.

[helpdesk_hero]

Brave woman. There is a lot of strength in being immune to that. Truly you're to be feared.

[grayshulk]

It was a slow but thorough process, but it's nice to have the skill appreciated.

Okay, how about, would you prefer to never disappoint the same male authority figures again, or be immune to feeling the guilt?

[helpdesk_hero]

Immune to feeling the guilt. But I don't care about disappointing them.

[grayshulk]

It's a weird difficult line to walk, isn't it? Because guilt and disappointment help people form their moral center, but some of the baggage is just fairly literally garbage that we're all stuck dealing with.

[helpdesk_hero]

I feel like my moral center was pretty well formed before I came to Xavier's. More like they skewed it some and I let them.

[grayshulk]

Are you comfortable with where it ended up?

[helpdesk_hero]

Not entirely. People to aspire to be better than that which they wanted.

[grayshulk]

The good and the bad thing about continuing to live and grow is that you will continue to adjust.

And continuing to aspire to better tends to help in a good way with the adjustment.

[helpdesk_hero]

If nothing else I've got a new metric to measure myself against. Which is being more than just a former mutant.

[grayshulk]

I would agree that you deserve a complex identity.

[helpdesk_hero]

Thanks for that. I mean, from someone as self aware as you. That confidence is awesome.

[grayshulk]

You're welcome.

And talking a good game gets my paychecks, so keep that in mind? That and messing up or getting messed up and pulling myself back together is practically a hobby at this point. It's okay to fake it until you live it.
