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.

I'm glad you included the 'stomp' - I put a lot of work into that part.

Oh, the latter, easily. I couldn't handle smelling like that for a day, let alone all the time. Much easier to just not talk.

Would you rather be famous whilst alive but forgotten completely after your death, or live your life in obscurity but be revered posthumously?

[titaniumalloyman]

It shows. Your stomping technique is flawless. I would tip my hat to you if I wore hats.

Famous while alive. What's the point of fame if you don't get to enjoy it?

[57times]

I'll take a figurative hat-tip, I'm not fussy.

Depends on how bothered you are about being remembered once you're gone.

[titaniumalloyman]

[He mimes the tipping of an invisible hat.]

I don't know. I mean, I plan for there to be monuments. Statues, towers, maybe a pyramid in the Iron Man colors. Nothing too gaudy. So, about as bothered as the average person?

And what if part of the fine print of that question was 'after your death, there'd be no evidence of your legacy or work whilst alive', including towers and statues and godawful pyramids?

[titaniumalloyman]

'Godawful'? Excuse you.

Should we get really fatalistic? Eventually, no matter which option I choose, I get forgotten. Maybe not immediately, but sooner or later this planet - this solar system - is gone and every memory with it. It's guaranteed, same as McDonald's Monopoly every year.

So, definitely famous while alive to enjoy it.

Would you rather date someone you love, or date someone who loves you? The two are mutually exclusive.

[57times]

I'm not apologising.

Yeah, that's true. Still sticking with my answer though; I'd want to know someone would miss me, even if it was only until they went and died as well.

[ Now there's a question - one that's followed by a few moments of quiet as she puts some thought into her answer. ]

Someone who loves me. At least then I could maybe keep my fingers crossed that I end up feeling the same way.

[ For someone who keeps almost everyone at arms length, the idea of not being loved at all and just forgotten about really gets under her skin. ]

Would you rather have one wish granted now, with wishing for more wishes not being an option, or have five wishes granted a decade from now?

[titaniumalloyman]

[He shakes his head, smiling; amused.]

My God, you're a romantic. I should've known. No, really. I should have. I usually have a better sense for these things.

[He's actually a little disappointed in himself.]

I'm a futurist; I'm always looking ahead. I'll take five wishes in a decade.

[57times]

[ She has to laugh at that, if only a little. ]

I've been called a lot of things, but 'romantic' is certainly new.

Probably should have seen that coming.
