[name_f]Laura[/name_f] would call out something like, “Yeah, well, I don’t like you either!”

[name_m]Soren[/name_m] would scream his lungs out, and probably faint dead on the spot. :see_no_evil:

WWYCD if they were forced to eat a food they hated?

Sayhilfir would complain a bunch, try to negotiate, and then eat it while making a really ugly face.

WWYCD if their favorite outfit tore irreparably?

[name_f]Mckayla[/name_f] probably would care a lot, after moving so much her favourite outfit is one of the only items of clothing she’s kept!

WWYCD if they were asked to choose between two close friends

1 Like

[name_f]Iisha[/name_f] would freak, because she really only has two to three close friends (unless you count her little sister, which she doesn’t, really), and if one of them had done something so bad as to make this happen, that would be awful

ok but now I wanna write that tho…

WWYCD if they figured out that they could grow a mermaid tail?

2 Likes

Given the world (dystopian, disease that gives survivors superpowers) my character is in, [name_u]Ryo[/name_u] wouldn’t be surprised… but he’d be deathly afraid, because he had a traumatic experience with water and is now incredibly averse to anything other than a shower. Plus he doesn’t live anywhere near the ocean, and despises sand. So he’d have a quite hateful relationship with it, I’m sure.

WWYCD if they switched bodies with an animal?

If [name_f]Ginny[/name_f] switched bodies with her cat [name_u]Kit[/name_u], she’d probably try to communicate to the rest of her crew or just give up and enjoy napping all day.

WWYCD if they were suddenly forced to adopt a child?

1 Like

[name_f]Daniella[/name_f] would be stressed and pretty open about this, but she’s strong-willed and was raised in a large family herself, so that sense of togetherness would allow her to rise to the occasion. She’d rely on her older siblings for advice but her striving for independence would make her capable of taking the reigns.

WWYCD if they found themselves called upon to participate in a quest?

2 Likes

As [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] is set in a mystery/adventure story, he would be eager to participate in said quest. His history of solving mysteries with his friends and often traveling/avoiding obstacles to find answers would make him feel equipped to go on a quest if requested.

WWYCD if they got a call from their partner, only for it to be someone holding the partner captive demanding a 15k ransom?

Krystiana would be scared, but she would go all [name_u]New[/name_u] [name_u]York[/name_u] on the kidnapper, intending to make said villain rue the day they messed with the wrong person.

WWYCD if they found themselves in the middle of a robbery?

[name_m]Aldrick[/name_m] would wonder how the heck he got there, fail to cast a spell to get out of the situation, and then run like heck. (Elessi would probably try to join the robbers if [name_m]Aldrick[/name_m] let her, provided they were robbing for a just cause. If they weren’t, she would use her elf magic to make a tree attack them and then join [name_m]Aldrick[/name_m] in running like heck.) Sorry for doing two, but those two just go together.

WWYCD if someone forced them to watch their (read: your) favorite TV show?

Considering they live in an era without television, [name_f]Meg[/name_f] would be shocked and probably panic.

WWYCD if they could live two lives?

3 Likes

[name_m]Calixto[/name_m] would use one of his lives to reconcile with his sister [name_f]Arianwen[/name_f] by pretending to have cut ties with his significant other, Gwyanna, and use the other to be with Gwyanna and pretend to have cut ties with [name_f]Arianwen[/name_f]. (This is the eternal dilemma of being [name_m]Calixto[/name_m]. He’s just like “But what if I want a sister and a girlfriend?”, which I must say I understand completely, and I don’t know how to fix this problem, other than the whole demonic possession thing, but that’s not a very good long-term solution, so. . . ideas, anyone?)

WWYCD if the ruler/king/queen/whoever was assassinated ?

1 Like

[name_f]Arianwen[/name_f] doesn’t care much about politics, but she would be worried for her brother, [name_m]Calixto[/name_m], although she’d try not to show it since she usually maintains that she doesn’t like him. He’s one of the Mages of [name_m]Castle[/name_m] [name_u]Valiant[/name_u], powerful mages handpicked by the current ruler, [name_f]Queen[/name_f] [name_f]Gabriela[/name_f], and he would probably lose his position, since new rulers, especially ones who come to power in suspicious circumstances, like to eradicate all traces of their predecessors. Actually, it would almost definitely be a lot worse than that, since [name_f]Queen[/name_f] [name_f]Gabriela[/name_f] is well-liked for her kindness towards the magical population, so an assassination would likely be orchestrated by someone who disagreed with that stance. This would have vast repercussions for every practitioner of magic, not just the Mages of [name_m]Castle[/name_m] [name_u]Valiant[/name_u], but the new ruler would almost certainly start by eradicating that position and probably also the mages themselves. Suffice to say that this would not be a very good scenario, for [name_m]Calixto[/name_m], [name_f]Arianwen[/name_f], or anyone else for that matter (ooh, I wanna write it already!).

WWYCD if a family member chose to date someone they disapproved of?

1 Like

If [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] decided to date someone that [name_u]Jace[/name_u] disapproved of, he wouldn’t say anything outright, but he would be really passive aggressive to the person and try to scare them off. Both [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] and who she was trying to date would eventually get the message, although the latter would probably be scared off before [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] even realized what was happening. [name_u]Jace[/name_u] can be very stealthy :smiling_imp:

WWYCD if they were getting annoyed by something their best friend loved?

This happens to [name_m]Aldrick[/name_m] fairly frequently, because his best friend, Elessi, loves music and can also see into a specific alternate reality (e.g. this one). Therefore, she talks about things like ‘alt-pop’ and ‘synths’, as well as semi-forcing [name_m]Aldrick[/name_m] to listen to music by artists ranging from [name_u]Taylor[/name_u] [name_m]Swift[/name_m] and [name_u]Billie[/name_u] [name_f]Eilish[/name_f] to [name_f]Cassie[/name_f] and the Seventh Graders and The Saucy Barnacles (both of which I made up). [name_m]Aldrick[/name_m] usually deals with this by pretending to listen while really thinking about things like the fate of existence.

[name_f]Ginevra[/name_f] wouldn’t care. She knows who she is and doesn’t need anyone to tell her. She’d roll her eyes at her results, doubting not even for a second that she’s not a Gryfferin.

WWYCD if their parents died in a car accident?

1 Like

[name_u]Zeke[/name_u] would be very conflicted as to how to feel. On the one hand, his whole family (except one of his older sisters, Elfie), hates him, and he doubts that they’d care very much if he died. On the other hand, they’re still his parents, right? Then again, he doesn’t need them anymore anyway, since his friend Onyx’s mom [name_u]Kaya[/name_u] is letting him live with them, and he has a much better life now than he ever did living with his family. I think he would ultimately conclude that the fate of the youngest of his sisters, the ones who still depend on their parents, was much more important than the parents themselves, and he would try to help them, although probably only [name_f]Elfie[/name_f] would appreciate it and she doesn’t even need it.

WWYCD if their manipulative ex posted stuff online that made them seem like the bad guy?

I overthought this to the point where my internal thoughts were like: Should I use [name_u]Ash[/name_u] or [name_u]Briar[/name_u] for this, since their dad already did die in a car accident? Nah, that feels like cheating the system a little bit. What about [name_m]Aldrick[/name_m], since I need to develop him more? Wait, I don’t actually know who his parents are, and even if I went with my plot twist, it would mostly be [name_f]Arianwen[/name_f] with strong emotions anyway (not to mention there aren’t even cars in his world). What about those ones from that D&D-based thing? No, wait, that wouldn’t work, because Lucero’s parents are already dead, Addey’s mom is dead and her dad hates her guts, and Celetíra’s relationship with her parents is negligible. Gah, I’m usually never at a loss for characters to torture! Hmmm, well. . . Iisha’s mom isn’t very present and her dad is being held captive by an evil queen, Taechkeeap’s parents are, once again, already dead, Anaema’s parents are away so much that she never sees them, and I can’t kill Tellav’s mom even a little bit, I just can’t. Let’s see. . . Zeke’s parents hate him, [name_u]Onyx[/name_u] has never met his dad and wouldn’t really care if he died and his mom, [name_u]Kaya[/name_u], is, again, too nice and awesome for me to do that to her. The death of Margo’s parents would be too hard on everyone involved, especially since they help [name_u]Kaya[/name_u] out so much, and if they didn’t, [name_u]Zeke[/name_u] wouldn’t have anywhere to live. As for Tizzy’s parents, I know nothing about them and I don’t feel like building a whole relationship today. Ajirte and Sayhilfir’s parents are already dead, Lireyin’s never met their dad and their mom is essentially immortal, and Riellna’s mom is dead and her dad is actually immortal. Wow. I have now resorted to scrolling through my Google Docs for something. Oh wait no, we have [name_u]Miracle[/name_u], obviously! Okay, [name_f]Kayla[/name_f], let’s go! Except no no no not [name_f]Kayla[/name_f] no never my precious shweepy baby, so it’s back to square one. Hmm. . . Ordinary doesn’t have parents in any conventional sense, I don’t know about Zinnia’s parents, and Whybert–WAIT WAIT WAIT! [name_m]Just[/name_m] because your parents don’t like you doesn’t mean you can’t feel emotion when they die! Yeah okay scratch all of that I have a plan whoo!

[name_f]Faye[/name_f] would be devastated and would probably worry about what to do with his younger brothers. [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] is the oldest, but he’s only fourteen, so [name_f]Faye[/name_f] would more then likely have to move them in with him and persuade [name_u]Blair[/name_u] and [name_u]Ellery[/name_u] to help him what over them.
(Yes, [name_f]Faye[/name_f] is a guy. The name just fit him.)
