[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!
I saw this game on a writing site and thought that maybe I could bring it here. This could also help if you want to develop character responses to situations.
The concept is pretty simple: P1 will ask a ‘What would your character do (or WWYCD)’ question, the next person will answer it and give their own WWYCD question.
The WWYCD questions could be as extreme as “WWYCD if they fell into a volcano?” or as normal as “WWYCD if they found 5$?”
Example:
P1: WWYCD if someone fainted in front of them?
P2: (Character name) would probably freak out before calling an ambulance. WWYCD if their house caught on fire?
Here’s the first question!
WWYCD if they got stranded alone on an island?

I love this idea!
Petra is very extroverted so if she got stranded by herself, she would likely have a hard time. I think she would talk out loud to herself to try and create an illusion that there was someone with her.
WWYCD if they went to the mall during [name_m]Black[/name_m] [name_m]Friday[/name_m]?

Leona probably wouldn’t even be there if she has anything to say about it. But if she did get dragged there, she’d try to stand as out of the way as possible and try to find things where the least people are.
WWYCD if they had to share a room/house/dorm with their rival/enemy?

Sylvan would would be out of there as soon as possible, but if he couldn’t run away, he’d purposefully be the worst roomie ever. (“Oh those leftovers were yours? So sorry, I was sure it said ‘For [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]’ :)”)
WWYCD if they were cut in front of in a line?

Aimee would probably snap at the person if it was in a less public place (she actually runs the lunch lines at the school were she works). In public, though, she’d let it go and talk about them behind their back.
WWYCD if they were snowed in with their least favorite relative during [name_u]Christmas[/name_u]?

Robin would go find a room to hole up in, and/or talk to as many people as possible to block out that relative, she’d only talk to that relative if necessary.
WWYCD if their someone got them a pet for their birthday?

Definitely psyched. [name_f]Aimee[/name_f] loves animals, and her favorite pets are dogs. She wouldn’t be as glad if it was a cat (she thinks they’re a little stuck up) but overall she’d be happy, I think.
WWYCD if they were asked to be the Secretary of State?
Amara would wonder how the bleep they found her because her name isn’t supposed to be in any government systems and she’s 20 with no college education. Then she would probably think it was a trick of some sort and flee the country.
WWYCD if someone ate their last Poptart in the pantry?
Samara would have a silent mental breakdown, then eat some fruit instead.
WWYCD if she found out she was pregnant?
Well, [name_f]Aimee[/name_f]’s dating a woman right now, so that would be improbable, so I’ll go back to when she was engaged to [name_u]Chris[/name_u]. She would probably start crying, and be super excited about it. She’s very good with kids (especially her nieces) but she had fertility struggles during her first marriage, so she’d probably be super psyched to find out she’s pregnant.
WWYCD if they were in an episode of your favorite TV show?
(Idk if you mean it in a “WWYCD if they experience the stuff that’s happening in that episode” way or a “WWYCD if they guest-starred in the episode” way, but since I currently don’t have a fav show, so I’m going with the 2nd one)
Leona would probably faint, and be really excited and full of energy for the whole thing.
WWYCD if they found out they were going to have a foster/adopted sibling/child?
Devon would be very surprised at her retired parents for taking this on in their 60s. She would be accepting, helpful, and excited but ultimately stunned.
WWYCD if they got stuck in an elevator with a stranger? Or if they have a love interest, with them?
Okay, well, [name_f]Aimee[/name_f] was friends and colleagues with her love interest before they got together, so I assume they’d probably just talk. Both would get a little frustrated, and call up the front desk of wherever the elevator is a couple times. In the space between, I assume they’d discuss sports or weekend plans.
WWYCD if they were asked by a friend to help them move?
[name_u]Robin[/name_u] would say yes, but probably only be a little helpful. She would carry 2-4 boxes then take a break, orders food, and be the cheerleader for the rest of it.
WWYCD if someone suggestes that they’re the one that should propose/ask out their SO/crush?
Petra would deny having a crush on them, then go on to state all the reasons why dating would be a bad idea and why she probably doesn’t like [name_f]Petra[/name_f] back anyways, because she rambles when she’s nervous or uncomfortable.
WWYCD on Halloween?
1 Like
Robin would ask (read: force) her siblings to go trick or treating with her, in group costumes if she feels extra halloweenie that year, but if nit she would wear a simpler costume. She would also watch horror movies (both bad and good) and stay up until midnight/morning just because it’s halloween.
WWYCD if they’re dared to go into a (fake/real) haunted house?
I think Yunna would have gone there only for a specific purpose: for example, there is a key to unraveling a new mystery that she is investigating. In this case, she would first have at least a little prepared, made inquiries … but inside the house she would have stumbled over the threshold, accidentally dropped some closet, or fell into the dungeon. In addition, she would be sure that her people have some kind of spell to avoid all trouble or encounter with the ghost, but she would confuse it or simply forget. However, it would do sure have ended well.
WWYCD, if they have to live in the jungle for a week?
Samara would live like a caveman, but when her mom Hilela and her dad [name_m]Jason[/name_m] would come to pick her up, [name_f]Samara[/name_f] would still act that way, because she’s a goofball.
WWYCD if she got the flu?
Ksenia would pretend like nothing was wrong and since most people are intimidated by her, people probably wouldn’t even notice until she passed out from overworking herself.
WWYCD at a corn maze?
Ocean would get lost, get frustrated over being lost, then get nervous because she’s not used to enclosed spaces, then not even follow the designated path and make her own path by cutting through the corn.
WWYCD if they had to move to a new country?
