would you rather

for my sins surround me 1. Post with your character. 2. In your comment, have your character ask a question: Would you rather ________ or _________? where the blanks are anything your character would like to know from anyone who might respond. Maybe they're asking out of curiosity. Maybe they have a dilemma of their own. Who knows? 3. Respond to other characters! Reply to whatever catches your own character's interest or whatever they'd like to talk about. Maybe they can't decide between the two. Maybe it's an easy answer. Maybe they think the question sucks. Discuss. Chat. Take turns. 4. ???????? 5. Have fun! This meme was gently lifted from bakerstreet.

Hrm...

[He crosses his arms and frowns deeply, his helm hiding his gaze. Certainly Ser Estinien, prickly man that he is, would have no patience to consider something so ridiculous as-]

The fricasee, obviously. Braising the meat should do a fine job of keeping the dhalmel tender - or as tender as dhalmel ever is.

[steeloath]

[ It may be surprising that the Azure Dragoon deigns to offer his views on the challenges of preparing dhalmel meat so as not to offend the palate and overtax one's jaw muscles, but Janlenoux merely smiles, appreciative of the blunt answer. After all, he has taken it upon himself to contribute to the dishes served at the Vault's feast day celebrations in honor of Saint Valeroyant — Ser Estinien's opinion is of symbolic value, as well as undeniably true. ]

My thanks, Ser Estinien. Then perhaps dhalmel meat is best set aside altogether?

[ohwyrm]

[Estinien tilts his head, arms still crossed]

Are you certain? After all, Saint Valeroyant surely ate far worse than dhalmel meat when he was out on patrol.

[It is only a jest - he might have said it with a perfectly straight face, his tone betraying nothing, but it's a jest nonetheless. After all, even Estinien wouldn't restrict someone to dhalmel meat on a feast day. Whether or not Janlelnux is familiar enough with Estinien's sense of humor to realize this, however, is another matter entirely.]

[steeloath]

[ To Janlenoux's eye and ears, Estinien seems quite serious, which earns the Azure Dragoon his appreciation twice over. It's rare to discuss culinary matters with a fellow soldier to such an extent, even when they are to sample his cooking — most remarks go no further than requests or praise.

His reply is a jest of his own, distinct and good-natured humor in his tone: ]

Now I fear that this has become a true dilemma: should Ishgard eat as Saint Valeroyant did? Or eat well as we think on his victories? Those of us who have spent weeks on campaign know something of rations tougher than dhalmel, I suppose...

[ohwyrm]

[While Estinien may be no culinarian, it's only natural that he knows something of food. After all, indulging in fine food and drink is the closest thing this man has to a hobby, and the rare moments he has something more flavorful than field rations and the time to truly savor it are precious indeed. While he is not one given to sentiment or brooding on nostalgia, he still has fond memories of feast days past, and keenly remembers not just his own enjoyment, but the enjoyment of the knights and squires around him.]

Then I suppose it would be best to give everyone something more pleasant - both to eat and to prepare. After all, there is no need to repeat a lesson that's already been learned.

[Finally, some mercy.]
