[network|video] @prettypinkflowers; WOULD YOU RATHER? [open] [Night 290]

[lacecase]

Hello everyone!

[As she finished adjusting her camera, Ginger gives the Network at large a wave. She looks a little tired, and maybe a little worried, but she's smiling anyway! Cause that's what she does best.]

First of all, I just, like, wanted to say...a big howdy hello to our new friends! I've been feeling a bit...antisocial lately, so, like, I'm afraid I haven't been very welcoming. So for everyone I haven't met yet, I'm Ginger and it's very nice to meet you! I thought maybe...tonight might be an okay time to play a game! Today is...

[She gives herself a tiny drum roll.]

Would you rather! It's, like, pretty self explanatory. You get two things and you have to say which your preference is, and why! So, um, here's a prompt to start! Feel free to answer and come up with your own for other people to answer, too!

Would you rather...only be able to eat one kind of dessert all the time and it's not a dessert of your choosing, or no dessert ever?

...I think I'd rather be poor but free. [She knows what it's like to have to run away from someone. The fear that permeates your every waking moment--she wouldn't choose that if she had the choice.

Should she elaborate? She realizes belatedly that she probably should, but she doesn't for now.]

[zunesareawesome]

Yeah? Seems like there's a story behind that.

[plaguenurse]

I don't like being chased. I wouldn't want to live my life in fear. [Even without her ex-husband around, it seems like she's doing that now, anyway.]

[zunesareawesome]

...I get that. I really do.

You just kinda get used to it for your entire life that you don't really think about people who just...don't.

[plaguenurse]

Mm. [A brief sound of acknowledgement, and then:] I never got used to it.

[Was that too much? That was probably too much. Diana is quick to move on from it.] Would you rather be able to teleport anywhere or be able to read minds?

[zunesareawesome]

[Ah. Definitely a story there. She clearly wasn't being forthcoming, maybe whatever happened was really bad, so he didn't pry.]

Ooh. Ooh, that's a good one. Ummmm...teleport anywhere. Cause it would be really useful for pranks, plus you could save a lot of time. I don't really wanna know what people are thinking sometimes. I mean, yeah, it'd be useful but...I feel like people would trust you less if they knew you could do it.

How about you?

[plaguenurse]

[She's grateful for the easy transition.] I'd pick teleporting too. For a lot of the same reasons, but I probably wouldn't use it for pranks. [Probably...unless she thought of a really funny one that wouldn't hurt anybody...] I could travel the world with it; I'd love to see other countries.

[Maybe this sounds quaint to someone from space, though...]
