I’ll do Kirie this time :>
@dekreel A realist artist
@catwing A tree or a couch? She would love to be a tree.. just breathe, grow, observe silently, peacefully. But no, she would go for the couch as it would help others rest some.
@perfectfifths Kirie would rather learn a musical instrument 😉
@dragon-snapper Clean out leaf gutters
@notawriter I mean, she already is scuba diving, sort of.. She would think sky diving is scary and just stay beneath the waves for awhile.Would your character rather eat wood shavings or an insect?
Kirie would choose wood shavings, I bet.- This reply was modified 6 years, 10 months ago by itisastarrynight.
I can't believe it's not butter!
January 18, 2018 at 12:28 pm #60597aah why is kerie such a cinnamon roll?
Tessa would rather eat the bug. Loads of other people do it so she wouldn’t have much problem doing either. 😉
and I was so confused
January 18, 2018 at 12:31 pm #60598Ooh, can I try this? I’ll do it with my character Chara (Sh-ah-ra).
- @dekreel She would rather be painted by a Picasso artist because she’s just a teeny bit vain, and probably wouldn’t be satisfied with a realistic artist’s portrayal. She hates manga.
- @catwing She would rather be a tree. Being a couch and listening to everyone’s conversations would make her miss being a human.
- @notawriter She would rather go sky diving. She’d probably faint afterward, though. 🙂
- @perfectfifths She already knows a smattering of music and is a reasonable cook, but with a choice of learning one better she’d probably go to cooking school.
- @dragon-snapper She would rather clean out gutters because she is a very feminine type who wouldn’t do well in the military.
- @itisastarrynight Insects are at least nutritious… 🙂
Now my question: Would your character rather never read or listen to stories again, or never hear music again?
Chara would probably prefer to listen to music. She doesn’t read as much.

January 18, 2018 at 12:40 pm #60603Firstly Tessa breathes music so shed easily choose to never read stories again. 😉
Secondly I love when people give a brief explanation for why their character would do what they would do. Chara sounds like an interesting character 😀and I was so confused
January 18, 2018 at 12:58 pm #60608Can I give it a shot? I’m gonna go with Dagny.
@dekreel A realistic artist. She’d be interesting in knowing how others see her.
@catwing A tree. She can be out in nature, see the sunset and sunrise, watch as the world wakes up each day and watch it go to sleep.
@notawriter Scuba diving. Though she would rather do neither, she feels safer in the ocean than she does in the sky.
@perfectfifths Learn a musical instrument. She already knows how to cook enough for what she has to do, a musical instrument would be fun.
@dragon-snapper Clean out leaf gutters. She doesn’t want to be forced to lead like that…at all.
@itisastarrynight Wood-shavings, although she could eat an insect if need be. If the situation wasn’t dire, more like a dare, she would choose wood-shavings.
@rochellaine Never hear music again. Most of her life revolves around listening to stories. That’s not something she can give up.Question: Would your character rather be completely lost in a place where they spoke the language or know exactly where they are in a place where they don’t speak even a bit of the language?
Considering that Dagny has actually done the former (I didn’t even notice that when I wrote down the question) I would say that she would prefer knowing where she is despite not knowing any of the language.

January 18, 2018 at 1:08 pm #60611@skredder That’s actually a realistic question for Chara, because she gets disoriented very easily. 🙂 She would probably rather know where she is in a place where she can’t speak the language, because she can take care of herself as long as she doesn’t get disoriented.
I actually saw a really cool episode of an anthology show from the 1950s that dealt with that subject. It’s from the June Allyson Show and is called The Wall Between. It’s about a girl who speaks no English who is being escorted somewhere by a man who does speak English who is taking care of her as a favor to his friend, but when she finds out that someone is trying to kill her, she can’t tell him, so he doesn’t protect her.

January 18, 2018 at 1:28 pm #60618@notawriter The Doctor would rather go sky-diving
@perfectfifths Probably an instrument
@dragon-snapper Leaf gutters, hands down
@itisastarrynight Probably an insect
@rochellaine Never read or hear stories again
@skredder Know where she is in a place with a foreign languageWould your character rather be forced to climb a hundred-foot rock wall, or forced to watch TV all day?
You can pronounce it however you want.
January 18, 2018 at 7:15 pm #60638@dragon-snapper Command an army. And Link blew up the melted-remelted chair.
@itisastarrynight Insects.
@rochellaine Probably stories. My character doesn’t seem like much of a reader. 😛
@skredder Probably know exactly where they are without speaking the language.
@dekreel TVWould your character rather have terrible short-term memory, or remember everything they ever did/said/thought in their lives? Link would probably rather remember everything.

January 18, 2018 at 9:07 pm #60650@notawriter Kay would skydive into the ocean to scuba dive. *cough* She’s very outgoing. (She’s an unwatchable thief)
@perfectfifths cooking… I think. I don’t think she’s very musical.
@dragon-snapper command an army. (She kinda of already leads a massive con organization…)
@itisastarrynight insect. They are edible.
@rochellaine Why?! Stories and music are a part of her life! She needs to make up stories to get into the museum! But what is stealing that famous painting if you can’t listen to action music?! If someone did either of those to her she would track them down and they would dread!
She might survive without music…
@skredder lost in a place where she spoke the language. She would probably figure out. Also she hates not knowing what’s going on.
Also she could ask them for help.
@dekreel (nice new profile pic!) Rock wall. She has climbed up and then jumped off very tall buildings. With a rope of course.
@perfectfifths Remember everything. She doesn’t remember her first parents. *cough*Would your character rather be raised by this guy who calls himself the Iguana and runs a secret espionage biz (they your character would be a part in) or be raised by royalty until the king and queen find their lost child and then abandon your character?
Kay was raised by the Iguana. She would stick with that.
IMMA KAPEEFER! Til we're old and gray!
January 18, 2018 at 9:37 pm #60657@dekreel Probably the Iguana.

January 18, 2018 at 10:36 pm #60667@perfectfifths I think you mean @catwing X)
@catwing (Thank you!! 😀 ) Ooooooh, probably raised by royaltyYou can pronounce it however you want.
January 18, 2018 at 11:40 pm #60674@dekreel Oh, yeah. 😛 You guys always seem to come together, though. XD

January 19, 2018 at 12:02 am #60679@dekreel Since the story is set in the West, and she climbs the mountains all the time, she would easily pick climbing the wall.
@perfectfifths She already has too good of a memory (she would like to forget bad memories more easily) but she wouldn’t like to have bad short-term memory because she likes her new friends, and wouldn’t want to forget them. So she would pick the long memory because she’s used to it.
@catwing Chara would rather be raised by royalty because in true story fashion she would meet a prince who would marry her when they abandoned her for their other child. 🙂Would your character rather be royalty in France during the French Revolution, or a commoner in France during the First World War? Chara would probably pick WWI because – well, she’d probably get to meet some American soldiers, so she’d feel more at home. The problem would be the German soldiers, though. 🙂
"Sylvester - Sylvester!"
January 19, 2018 at 12:32 am #60684@rachellaine Probably a commoner – but why during WWI specifically?
Currently reading Les Miserables
January 19, 2018 at 1:45 am #60703@perfectfifths Well, WWII would probably work as well. I just meant to pick a time when France was pretty much ravaged. Everything burnt to the ground, people starving, and soldiers from both sides just shooting over their heads. France had a pretty bad time of it during both world wars.
