Meet the Archenland man of my dreams. (Thinks about King Lune)
WYR babysit the young Pevensie for a week (say that Peter six, Susan five, Edmund almost three, and Lucy one) or babysit Pre-VODT Eustace for one night.
PS. I hope you know I'm kidding about Lune.
(Lune is pretty swell, so I couldn’t have blamed you....)
This may come as a surprise, but I’ll take Eustace for a night. I’m not great with children and don’t think I could handle four littles for a week. As long as Eustace holes up in his room pinning beetles to cards and reading “real books of information”, the night could, theoretically, pass rather quietly.
WYR accidentally insult a centaur or accidentally watch a squirrel go to his nut stash?
Accidentally watch a squirrel go to his nut stash. I think I might be better at apologizing to squirrels.
WYR explore Lantern Waste or the ruins of Cair Paravel?
They might not need me but; they might.
I'll let my Head be just in sight;
A smile as small as mine might be
Precisely their necessity.
-Emily Dickinson
That's a tough one. Maybe explore the ruins of Cair Paravel.
WYR go with Tirian and Jewel to the tower or see what Rishda, Shift, and Ginger were up to at Stable Hill?
I don’t have a death wish, so the tower.
WYR spend a day with Lucy and Aravis or with Cor and Corin?
Well, if I was going to have like a slumber party, it would be Lucy and Aravis.
WYR vote to go down the gorge along with Peter, Susan, and Trumpkin or vote to go up the gorge with Edmund and Lucy?
Considering we all know how that went, there is a right answer. “Would you rather” is not the same as “what would you have done”.
(I’m enough like Susan to have voted down.)
WYR ride Fledge or Glimfeather?
Glimfeather (who would have thought of riding on an owl?)
WYR be married off to a random Calormene Tarkaan or run away to Narnia and the North?
Run away to the North.
(People enjoy this game more if the options are hard to choose between. Next time you could try saying two things you would like.)
WYR meet a centaur or a talking squirrel?
They might not need me but; they might.
I'll let my Head be just in sight;
A smile as small as mine might be
Precisely their necessity.
-Emily Dickinson
Maybe a centuar.
WYR explore Archenland or Calormen?
That's a good one! 🙂 I think I would pick Archenland; I like the book's descriptions of their mountains.
WYR go on an adventure with Reepicheep or with the Beavers?
They might not need me but; they might.
I'll let my Head be just in sight;
A smile as small as mine might be
Precisely their necessity.
-Emily Dickinson
I'd say Reepicheep (a valiant mouse)
WYR stay at Cair Paravel or go on the voyage to the Eastern End of the World?
Oh, hm, I think I should probably stay at Cair Paravel; my health is delicate and traveling can be difficult for me.
WYR get lost around Lantern Waste or get lost near where the Marshwiggles live?
(Sometimes people like to give two options that they would not like.)
They might not need me but; they might.
I'll let my Head be just in sight;
A smile as small as mine might be
Precisely their necessity.
-Emily Dickinson
Probably get lost in Lantern Waste. Not sure if I would want to get my clothes muddy in the Marsh.
WYR go to the Bazaars in Tashbaan or go to the Market in Chippingford?
Hmmm... probably go to the market.
WYR live at Cair Paravel or live in a burrow near Lantern Watse?
