Would You Rather? Meme

[ Questions ★ Ask Thoth ★ Jump to Comments ★ Full Navigation ]

Reflective surfaces are showing more than Star Children's reflections. It's still there, smiling, winking, or waving back (hey, did you do that? It's fine, don't worry about that). More importantly, a question appears with the reflection. It might be spoken aloud by the tree behind a Star Child or appear in a thought bubble off their reflection. However it appears, it will not disappear until it's answered. It asks: Would you rather...

Should a Star Child avoid answering the question, it follows them around. The environment continues to speak it aloud. It's in the book they read. It's written in the clouds. It's everywhere. The longer it's ignored, the louder, larger, more intrusive it gets—so that it might draw attention or an audience.

As soon as a Star Child answers, they're connected with another Star Child who hears their answer. They may see each other in their reflections, talk or text over their relics, or be near each other when it's answered. Regardless, at least that one person will hear the answer, and with it comes the compulsion to explain the answer. To give at least a little reasoning. Oh, and the urge to ask them a question in return. This compulsion may only last for one question each, or it may last for many. Perhaps it's forgotten altogether in an easy conversation.

For some Star Children, but not all of them, they may find themselves presented literally with completing the situation they are asked about. A non-permanent change situation. Suddenly they're streaming on their relic or in conversation with a friend or at dinner with Thirteen. Who knows! The initial questions appear before Star Children, but they can take it wherever they like. Star Children who complete at least one challenge receive a gold star anywhere from 1 inch to 1 foot across. Touching it gives Star Children a better sense of certainty in themselves. It may be kept, exchanged at Cutting Edge for some other metal, or turned into Thoth for her answer to a would you rather question.

This meme is game canon unless marked otherwise at the start of threads! Threads can be used for spoons and application samples.
Characters are presented a 'would you rather' question first in their reflection, then if unanswered around them wherever they go.
Characters face a strong compulsion to explain their answer... and to ask their partner at least one 'would you rather' question of their own.
Characters may have to complete the question they answered. If they do, they receive a gold star (once only!), which gives them a sense of certainty. It can also be exchanged for metal at Cutting Edge or to ask Thoth a would you rather question.

[ He clinks his glass and takes a large swallow. He still tastes it, but mostly it's cold and smooth. At least this kind of thing in a bar isn't something he associates with Livio. ]

Blue hair. Never got to ask if it was genetic.

[Yelena mimics the action, hums in satisfaction, and then makes a face at the comment.]

They named themselves after their hair color? That is a bit... [She has no right to judge anyone for being either weird or dramatic, and yet, judge she is, and not feeling bad about it either.] My sister had blue hair briefly when we were young, but it does not occur genetically among humans on my planet.

[ He laughs as Yelena judges the family Bluesummers comes from. He didn't pick the name himself, but it says something about them. Somewhere along the line. ]

I couldn't tell you what's normal to Earth in my world, but we're all the descendants of the people who crash landed on Noman's Land a hundred, a hundred and twenty-five years ago. Not sure what Wolfwood says about my family. That we have big dicks?

[Glad she had finished taking a drink before he finished that statement. Yelena snorts, highly amused.]

ALL of you? What a thing to learn about all of your relatives that I have never even met.

[ Wolfwood grins at her. ]

I haven't met them either, if you think about it. Good to know something about them.

[Well, at least in this case the questions had led to a very funny conversation. No points to the fox, but still. Could be worse.]

I don't know. [Yelena shakes her head.] I do not know anything about my blood relatives either, aside from the fact that they must have existed to have me, but if I was offered only that... I think I would prefer to stay knowing nothing.

[ Wolfwood laughs. ]

Don't be embarrassed if they have big dicks or tits. Have a little family pride or whatever. And at least you aren't named Yelena Bigtit.

I would have to know more about them than just that to know if I were proud of them or not. I did name my dog Fanny Longbottom, mostly to tease my sister.

Oh, god... [Her amusement takes on a horrified tinge.] Alexei - my sort of dad - if that were what part of his name meant, he would go on about it to literally everyone he ever spoke to.

They're just ideas at this point. We can make them what we want. Like your dog.

[ Her reaction isn't exactly what Wolfwood expected to hear, but it makes him laugh a little. ] Maybe his name means that, and he doesn't know. Maybe it's a different world thing, and that's what it means somewhere else. I could tell him that.

That is true. I did something like that once with my immediate "family," so I don't know why I would not with the larger family tree. That could be a lot of fun.

Oh, please do not tell him that. If you want to tell him that his name means something else ridiculous, absolutely, but not that.

As wide and tall as you want. It's your tree.

Sounds like he has big tits worth being named for. I should tell him.

Mm. Wider at least than any Royal families, but maybe not taller.

You know what, actually? I have changed my mind. His username on the network is RedGuardian. Go ahead and tell him. I want to see what happens.

Gotta admit I'm not sure how wide or tall those are.

Oh ho ho, what a name. Should be fun.

Ah - in the world I come from, ruling families had this idea for a very, very long time that there was something inherently special about their bloodline, in a literal sense, so they would often marry cousins or worse to keep things "close." So the family trees are very long and much more narrow than they should be.

Mm. He is a former superhero, and is very obsessed with his own former fame.

If it's so special, it'll stick around no matter how many nobodies you marry. Otherwise, it's just recessive genes.

Key word former, I take it.

That is very logical thinking - I think they may have bred the capability for that out of their bloodline.

Mmhm, yes. He was that, and then a spy for a bit, and then in prison for a long, long time. And then we busted him out.
