Thea uncrossed her legs, and leaned forward, staring into each face for a fraction of a second, as if to read their minds. She spoke slowly, the corner of her lips slightly upturned in a half-smile. “If you could have but one wish, only one. What would your wish be?”
Arwood finally stirred and turned to look at her, a half-smile playing on his lips, but it never quite reached his eyes. “It is would you rather.” He said in his soft whisper, “not to ask any question that comes to mind.” Face burning Thea tried to keep her gaze upon the circle rather than to glare at her companion.
“Sorry,” She said through clenched teeth, “Would you rather have a wishing well, or a magic lamp?”
(oops, sorry y'all I saw my error, but fixed it in my post above :))
"Don't they do the same thing?" asked Christi. "They both grant wishes right?"
"Yes," Arwood spoke, stretching his legs out and crossing them at the ankles. "But a magical lamp only grants three wishes, while a wishing well depends upon how many coins you have." He added with a slight smile, "and if you are anything like me you carry more than three coins.”
"Wishing well," Rig said definitively. "I don't trust either, but wells are a little less sentient."
"Yeah," Carnage was quick to agree. "…Yeah." He looked uncomfortable, as if he wasn't sure of his answer.
"Wishing well." said Christi "Who would want less wishes?"
"I'd take the lamp." said Fern. Christi groaned. Fern glared at her. "I only need one wish." she snapped.
Christi rolled her eyes. "Idiot."
( @Oakley-is-Oaken-Bull you can ask a question next.)
(Oh! Sorry, didn't know it wad my turn ^^)
"Would you rather die now, or live forever?" Carnage asked hesitantly, and Rig shot him a look.
"Jeez, brother. Live forever, who do you think I am?"
Fern narrowed her eyes. "I've got a few things left to do." she hissed. "So I'd rather not die now."
"Well. Believe it or not," started Christi leaning backwards, "I'd rather not live alone forever watching everything around me wither and die. So I think I'd let them take me right now." she shrugged. "Immortality's a curse for the greedy."
Thea, in exasperation, raised her eyes to heaven. What…a…question. “I did not spend my whole life fighting for survival to just give up and die.” She spoke irritably momentarily forgetting her enviorment but was promptly reminded when Arwood’s light hand gently touched her arm, “Sorry,” she smiled apologetically to Carnage. “As I said, I would choose to live forever.”
“I would probably choose to live forever.” Arwood said quietly, “but I might come to regret my choice once a few decades passed me by.” He gave a small half-grin. It never reached his eyes.
(My turn? Unless someone else has joined.)
Fern didn't look at any of them when she asked her question. "Would you rather lose an arm, or a leg?" Her gaze flicked down to the place on her left hand where her ring finger used to be. Where it still should be. "Personally, I don't really use my left arm very much."
Christi flicked Fern in the head. "That's a dumb question. I'd lose a leg, I've got 3 more to spare!" For a moment she slid into her wolf form, but then she was a human girl again.
"Ahhhh, arm," Rig said. "Legs are for runnin, much more vital. The better to catch up to enemies with. You can learn to fight without an arm any old day."
"Leg." Carnage did not offer any more explanation than that.
"A leg," Azami stated bluntly. "Franky can make me a new one!"
Peregrine sighed. "I'd rather lose a leg, as well. I could still fight without one."
Arwood pursed his lips. “Well, naturally, I would say none, but I would rather lose a leg. While it might be harder to escape without one, I still might survive if I had both arms to wield this thing.” He gently lifted the unsheathed broadsword that was lying flat against his lap.
“Yes,” Thea nodded many times. “Definitely would rather chose a leg over an arm.”
(@Sash-hails-from-the-boot-country I think it's your turn. Sorry I made all this ordering stuff so complicated.)
(That's fine!)
Azami pursed her lips, deep in thought. "Would you rather only eat your favorite food forever, or never eat your favorite food again?" A grin spread across the woman's face. "Personally, I'd rather only eat my favorite food! There's lots of kinds of ramen, i'm sure Sanji could make breakfast ramen and dessert ramen and-"
Azami was cut off by Peregrine. "I don't have a favorite food."
"I don't have a favorite food either." said Fern quietly.
"I do!" Christi declared. "But it would get really boring if I had to eat it everyday. I'd probably get sick too."
"Oh, gimme gimme," Rig said with a grin. "I could literally eat caribou forever."
"Never again." For some reason, Carnage looked slightly sick. "Please never again."
“I do not have a favorite food,” Arwood said simply.
“Me neither,” Thea answered quickly, then added as afterthought. “And even If I did, I do not think I would want to eat it every meal of the day for life. It would get quite boring.”
(Who's turn is it next? I don't know why I thought I could keep up with this.)
(no prob! <3 I don't think anyone knows, wanna just assign a random order? Maybe state who's sitting next to each other, and 'go around the circle?')
(I think that would go a lot better. So the order for asking questions would be in the order the characters are listed: Christi, Fern, Azami, Peregrine, Rig Boaka Shauk, Mauurath Carnage Malukigan, Arwood then Thea. I hope this is okay with you guys sorry for suddenly changing the rules.)
(looks like Peregrine is next.)
Peregrine sighed to herself. "Do I really have to do this?" Azami nodded enthusiastically, resulting in a groan from the raven-haired girl.
"Fine. Would you rather never train again, or never drink again? I'd rather never drink. Training is necessary."
Azami pouted, then nodded again. "Never drink. I gotta get stronger, so I can help my crewmates!"
