hiiii everyone! you can call me dazai.

since we're all supposed to work together and get to know each other, i thought it would be fun to play a little icebreaker game that's popular on my earth ♥

it's called would you rather! the rules are pretty simple:

✦ post a hypothetical between two difficult choices
✦ have others choose between them, and offer their own hypotheticals in return
✦ go back and forth until you don't feel like playing anymore

noooormally, it'd be cheating to say something like both, or neither, but if you can come up with a really interesting alternative, i'll allow it~

feel free to respond to each other, as well! can't just let me go having all the fun, after all.

here's a few to get us started:

1) would you rather hurt someone to protect yourself, or get hurt protecting someone else?
2) would you rather be unable to have your favorite meal again, or be unable to get drunk again?
3) would you rather betray your boss or abandon your best friend?

[wdym these are weird questions, he's so normal. it's just a gaaaaame and definitely not a covert means of information gathering or anything. come on and play :)]

[ Well. Those are a lot of words Rin doesn't know, and so, she understands very little of what he's saying. Part of her wonders if she could learn, if she read those books he's offered to recommend, but she doesn't have time for that. ]

I'm afraid those are not schools of thought I am familiar with. And I'd love to look into it, but there are more pressing things to do.

[ Now, his answer to her other question makes sense, actually. ]

Well, I can hardly blame you for that. I'd probably do the same.

[ And yes, it does very much depend on the situation. In some situations, Rin would hightail it out of there, while in others... well, she's thrown herself head first into danger before. ]

are there?? and here i had thought there wouldn't be very much to do between missions!

how do you spend your downtime, then?

and for the game: would you rather be tortured for information, or find yourself suddenly responsible for collecting information from a captured enemy? say the intel is time-sensitive in either case.

[revengeisalie]

There wasn't much 'between' the last few missions! But when I have downtime, I explore and take notes.

Wow, you really always go for the intense questions, huh? Well, since you didn't say how I'm supposed to be collecting intel from the enemy, I'm going to take that option.

[saudades]

how often are missions?

good catch, you found the loophole! but that does beg the question -- how would you do it if you needed the intel quickly? or would you write it off as a loss regardless, just to avoid the alternative?
