Would You Rather...

Honestly, I know I'm a bat and all, but I'm not a big fan of Halloween. Costumes are great and all, but I'd rather go to a fur meet or a comic convention to see cosplay. Here in the UK not many people take Halloween seriously enough to make good costumes. It's usually just cardboard skeletons and bin bag witches. Besides, Halloween gives cute, harmless bitty bats an unfair reputation and it's also pretty insensitive in many ways to the Pagan community, whose 'day of the dead' celebration has been twisted beyond all recognition. I'm no killjoy. I'm happy for people to have Halloween, especially if they do it properly. But once it's over, I'm done. Go on cosplaying as long as you like, but don't call it 'trick-or-treating' and come knocking on my door looking for candy 'cause I'll tell you you're too late.

uhh.... hi. I am a random plastic pumpkin salesbat. Might I interest you in a plastic pumpkin? .....You can pay me in not-halloween-related candy :3

(honestly I don't even celebrate Halloween irl, nobody over here does. But I totally do online, because it has great furry shenanigans potential! Look at me, I am a bat, eee! Flip flap! Flup flies inside the skull of a scary skeleton through its eye socket :3)

Would you rather orbit the Earth in a space capsule, or explore the deepest depths of the ocean in a submarine?

Eee... the deepest depths sound a bit dangerous and crushy, I'd go for the submarine if it was, like, the averageistest depths. But as it stands, I'll have to pick the space capsule :3

Suppose you lived in a television program. WYR live in a sitcom, or a cozy crime mystery show?

A sitcom for sure. No matter what happens I know I'd just have to go to bed, wake up the next morning, and everything would be like nothing happened!

If you were in a crime mystery show and accused of the murder...WYR be on the run from the protagonist or under arrest and trapped in jail but trusting them to prove your innocence in the end?

The latter.... save me, Sherlcule Holmrot, they all think I did it! You are my only hope! (those guys practically always win in the end when they're trying to prove someone's innocence)

If you were in a crime mystery show and accused of the murder.... would you rather be a feral bat or a feral rat? mystery theremin

Feral skunk! Yes, not relevant to the question, but I would rather be a cute feral skunk :3

WYR win the lottery but get charged 20% off the prize by the IRS, or, by crazy destiny, somehow obtain an amount of mine that's 1/4 of the lotto prize but which doesn't come with any string attached?

 

[Firuthi Dragovic]

20%? That actually seems like a lowball. I imagine the IRS taking half of it.

And yet even with that, I'd take the lottery prize. The mine requires proper management to get the full payout and I have no capacity for that kind of management.

Even a quarter of a lottery prize would probably set me for life. (With some of the jackpots I've seen advertised in my state? Even 5% would solve every problem I've ever had or will ever have.)




Let's continue the wealth theme. WYR have real estate or a vault full of precious metals?

Doesn't matter. Both are too risky and physical. I'm selling both and sticking the money into index funds, I'll go with the real estate as that's easier to get rid of :3
(Meta the sona would pick the vault just because he likes safe confined spaces)

WYR retire super early and rat it up with minimal living expenses, or keep working longer to have more money to spend once you've retired?

 

[Spilo]

I would rather... skunk it up. Heh! (Seriously, have you seen the luxurious logs skunks live in? :P)

WYR distribute your wealth once you cease existing or take it with you to the grave like an egotistical rich guy?
