Would you rather be told an uncomfortable truth or a comforting lie?

Dayton: “Comfort zones are danger zones. Tell me the truth, though I might still hate you for it.”

Alan: “Uhh . . . I don’t know . . . if it’s something silly or something that you don’t like about me, then you can lie to me, sure. But if it’s something important, then don’t lie to me.

Rob: “The truth.”

Jim: *nods* “Always.”

Megyn: *nods* “Yes, even if it is very uncomfortable, please tell me the truth.”

Would you rather be able to see 10 minutes into your own future or 10 minutes into the future of anyone but yourself?

Dayton: *thinks a moment* “I would rather see into my own future. It would be helpful to know.”

Alan: “Uhh . . . it depends. I mean, being able to know my own future would be good so I can be prepared for whatever I’m going to do. But being able to know someone else’s future would be good to so I can help them out if they were getting into trouble. *thinks* “I can pretty much know what I am going to do anyway. I’ll see someone else’s future.”

Rob: “What happens to me is of little consequence. I’d rather know someone else’s future.”

Jim: *thinking* “Guess I’d rather know my know future.”

Megyn: “I think I’d rather know someone else’s future.”

Would your character rather be colorblind, or born without a sense of taste and/or smell?

Dayton: *quickly* “Colorblind. I need my sense of smell.”

Alan: *thoughtfully* “Might be nice not having to smell smoke anymore . . . I think I’ll go with that. ”

Rob: *expressionlessly* “I can lose my sense of taste.”

Jim: “Don’t really care . . . but I guess I’ll be colorblind.”

Megyn: “Eh, this isn’t easy . . . I guess I could go colorblind. I could still remember the colors.”

Would you rather go back to age 5 with everything you know now or know now everything your future self will learn?

Dayton: *blinks, then snorts* “I’d rather go back to age five! My life will turn out far better if I knew then what I know now!”

Alan: “Uhh . . . going back to five knowing everything I know now would spoil the whole idea of being five again! I’ll know everything I’ll ever know instead.”

Rob: *expressionlessly again* “I’ll have to agree with Miss Dayton.”

Dayton: *gives him ‘the daggers’ look*

Jim: *swallows* “I – I rather go back too.”

Megyn: *sighs* “I don’t know if I could as a five-year-old handle knowing everything I do now. I’ll know everything I’ll ever learn.”

Would you rather know thirty languages fluently or be a math and science genius?

Dayton: “Math and science, though I am experienced enough in them to do what I do well.”

Alan: *cheerfully* “You know what they say, “You never stop learning” !”

Dayton: *gives HIM ‘the daggers’ look too*

Alan: “Uhh . . . I think I’ll be a math and science whiz. I’ll be able to keep up with the big-heads–I mean, big wigs in the business, like you!” *gives Dayton a taunting grin*

Dayton: *nostrils flare*

Rob: *raises eyebrow at Alan* “Though being a math/science genius would be nice, I think for my client’s sake being able to speak the thirty languages would be better.”

Jim: “Math and science.”

Megyn: *decidedly* “The languages, for sure. There are some that I’ve always wanted to master.”

Would you rather be infamous in history books or be forgotten after your death?

Dayton: *snorts* “Would rather leave a mark on the world, but if it’s only in something negative, I’d rather be forgotten.”

Alan: *mumbles to himself* “You’ve already left a negative mark on my world.” *clears throat loudly* “Uhh . . . guess I’d rather be forgotten. I don’t want to be known as a bad person.”

Rob: “Likewise.”

Jim: *nods*

Megyn: *nods* “Me too.”
