Bonus Content - Hekate Q&A (WYR)

Hello all!

As promised, the first of this month's bonus contents continues the old questionnaire rotation from before Patreon got readjusted. This month it's Hekate's turn. I hope you enjoy the little bits of insight into her character!

--------

1. Would you rather always be 10 minutes late or 20 minutes early?

Ten minutes late, as for me that means I was doing something interesting enough that it was hard to tear myself away from. And isn’t that exactly the sort of thing one is luckiest to be doing?

2. Would you rather be able to take back anything you say or hear any conversation that is about you?

As an inveterate gossip and hoarder of information, it would be quite interesting to know what everyone says about me. I usually don’t regret the things I say anyway.

3. Would you rather be the funniest person in a room or the smartest one?

Smartest, though I’m not really concerned with superlatives. I just want to know things, discover things, learn things. And, perhaps, be the person others rely on to know things. So if I am, it would be useful to be ‘smartest,’ in some sense.

4. Would you rather be able to read minds or predict the future?

Well seeing as how I already can predict the future, at least in some ways, I suppose I would say I’d rather be able to do that. It feels like part of who I am, in a way, though I admit its usefulness is dubious at best.

5. Would you rather be criticized or be ignored?

For most people and topics, I prefer ignored. I live my life the way I want to, and I don’t really care what anyone else has to say about that. Lest you think that contradict my answer about knowing what people say about me, it would be nicest if they didn’t say anything at all, you see.

6. Would you rather have the ability to see 10 minutes into the future or 150 years into the future?

I have both, at varying times and to varying degrees. I find that 150 years is not so long in the span of ages, and it can be useful to calibrate one’s trajectory on the important things with a bit of notice. Ten minutes, of course, is much more useful in day to day life, but I would still say 150 years.

7. Would you rather be forced to sing along or dance along to every song that you hear?

Mm, sing. I’m not the most talented at it, but I could feasibly do other things at the same time much easier than I could while dancing, which I am better at.

8. Would you rather spend three years in prison, or three years at war?

Prison. Definitely prison. And that’s all I’m going to say.

9. Would you rather ask for help with a difficult task or figure out how to do it yourself?

Nine times out of ten, figure out how to do it myself. That’s part of the thrill of discovery and learning, is it not?

10. Would you rather cheat at a game and win or lose respectably-well?

I’ll say… cheat and win. Only if the other players are good sports about that sort of thing, however. I have no desire to ruin relationships over games, though I have difficulty imagining myself friends with anyone who would get too offended over such a thing.
