Tetriona she/her Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 "Would you rather..."! (Brandon Sanderson theme) I'll start the first one but feel free to come up with anymore! Would you rather... spend one hour running, with no weapon, through the chasms with a Chasmfiend chasing you?.... OR.... spend ten minutes standing in a highstorm with very little armor? You all will probably be able to come up with better ones but, there it is... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwloose Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Stand in a highstorm, I'm bad at running and it would at least be a pretty awesome way to go out. Would you rather... Be a drab OR be an Aluminum Gnat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Slowswift he/him Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Aluminum Gnat, no question. You can still burn stuff (and if I recall correctly savants can purge their bodies of poisons) and you don't get all weak and sickly from having no soul. Would you rather have a battle of wits with Wit or Lightsong? Edited June 22, 2015 by Slowswift 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetriona she/her Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Definitely Lightsong! As much as I love Wit, if I tried to talk to him for more than ten minutes I would probably end up wanting to push him into a chasm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer12347 he/him Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) I would like to be a Drab, you can get more Breath later. Would you rather be Skaa or Noble? Would you rather join the Pahn Kahl rebellion or the Skaa rebellion? Would you rather follow the Path of Harmony or Survivorism?

Curiosity he/him Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'd probably thrive more in the nobility, but the moral ramifications of skaa treatment... that makes me question what I'd want. Skaa rebellion has more moral impetus. Harmony. It's the Cosmere religion that makes the most sense for that context. Would you rather constantly store tin or zinc? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Zinc Mental Ability? I would rather be effectively blind/senseless than have difficulty thinking straight. Could you, when not thinking at all, make use of what you see, anyway? Plus, if you stored it so much that you couldn't think, would you ever be able to get out of it? Would you rather give Shallan your boots and march across the Shattered Plains, or suffer a fortnight in pre-Kaladin Bridge 4?

I'd give Shallan my boots. Sure, marching across the Shattered Plains barefoot would hurt, but I spent a lot of time barefoot growing up. I've even been barefoot in Arizona during its infamous 110-degree summers. I could find a way to handle it. Pre-Kaladin Bridge Four might break me. Would you rather dis Steelheart's cape to his face, or lick peanut butter off a catacomber's foot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"When people see that cape of yours billowing in the wind, they know that they are staring at an Epic who fears nothing." See? Stealth insults are the best.

See? Stealth insults are the best. Would you rather attend a Bible study with Obliteration or Regalia? Said Kobold moments before Steelheart caught on. Um….neither? Okay, okay, if I had to pick, I'd go with Obliteration. Yes, he's a mass-murdering psychopath, but I think that underneath Calamity's corruption, he really does want to seek and find the truth. There might—might—be a way to get through to him. Regalia only cares about being right, and gloating about being right. There is nothing edifying about a Bible study led by someone like that. Would you rather spend three hours listening to Kaladin sulk, or five hours listening to David's similes? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you rather be turned into a Steel Inquisitor or an Epic? Call me squeamish, but I'd have to say Epic. Granted, I'm no expert on Steel Inquisitors, but thinking of all those spikes gives me the heebie-jeebies. Although becoming an Epic would definitely be traumatic (and dangerous), if I knew it was coming, I could lock myself inside a bank vault, or make sure it happened out in a field somewhere in rural Wyoming, to minimize the damage. Yeah, those poor cows would never be the same…but better some dead or traumatized cows than dead or traumatized people. Major Firefight spoilers: Besides. I already know my greatest fear, so there's at least a chance I could face it. Knowing is half the battle, anyway. Would you rather eat nothing but Vorin women's food, or Idrian cuisine for the rest of your life? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you rather eat nothing but Vorin women's food, or Idrian cuisine for the rest of your life? And I've talked to you enough that I could probably figure it out, so worse case scenario I could help lock you in a room with your weakness until you stop screaming death threats at me. Vorin women's food, because I like fruit and I adore sweet-and-sour sauce. Would you rather shift into a different Parshendi form every time you sneeze, or be incapable of distinguishing spren from muffins? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that now in case Calamity does rise and I wind up locked in a fallout shelter with my weakness. I just want you to know that before I scream death threats until my throat goes numb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Actually, I pretty much always play it the way Funtimes would. I once matched "salads" to "furious" and "Jack the Ripper" to "awesome.") 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redbird he/him Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Well allomancy works everywhere, but if elantrians even get away from Elantris, their power diminishes greatly.
