Bonus Content - Hermes Q&A

Hello again, everyone!

The first of this month's bonus contents features an 'interview' of sorts with Hermes. I've only got a couple more to go before the 'round' of Q&As is finished; I'm not sure what I'll put in this slot next, but for now I hope you enjoy his answers. :)

-------------

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

Oh, ten late. No question. It would annoy exactly the right people, I think.

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

Well, as much as I have at times wished I could take something back, knowledge is, as they say, power. I’d rather know what people are saying about me. Always.

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

Funniest. I know plenty of smart people; even they need some cheering up now and then. Plus, it’s always fun to be the life of the party.

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

Gonna go with read minds on this one. I think if you know the people around you well enough, predicting the relevant parts of the future isn’t very difficult, and there’s plenty to be gained from knowing the state of things in the present, too.

5. Would you rather be criticized or be ignored?

Criticized, I suppose. I prefer to be liked, but being disliked is the next best thing, in most contexts. At least people are still talking about me.

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

Wait, I thought I’d picked reading minds! In all seriousness, though, ten minutes. Much more useful and relevant to my interests. Namely, avoiding both ‘trouble’ and ‘the consequences of my actions.’

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

Hmm. Tough choice. Dance, just because I prefer it a little to singing. Though I guess that would make it difficult if I was playing the song, so maybe I pick sing after all!

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

War, I guess? It sounds terrible, but I think I’d actually lose my mind in prison. Being held in one place, not even able to go for a walk without someone else’s say-so, not being able to fly… that’s torture to me.

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

I think this one honestly depends on the task, and more importantly who’s around to ask. I guess most of the time I’d ask, but if my options for whom were limited in certain ways, I’d prefer to have a go at it myself.

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

Cheat and win, obviously! It’s just another layer of playing a game in the first place.
