Ah, more HypQuests!
Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
Ah, more HypQuests!
Ah, more HypQuests!
Since Moss, our new girl, has no clue what HypQuests are, I'll tell her. HypQuest is short for "hypothetical question". I write them, you answer them. Well, I answer them too, and you could probably write them just as well as I can. Here is the newest batch. Old batches are buried in the Inkwell and BaB.
1. What would you do if you began writing a story about a character you made up, and then suddenly a quantum space-time portal opened out of nowhere and a couple people came out from seven decades into the future asking you to sign their copies of the latest book in an ongoing blockbuster series starring your character (the one you had just started writing about)?
Be very flattered and happy that my writing was to be so popular for so long and sign their copies. Then I'd continue writing about the character after they went back to their native time, driven by the promise of the character's global fame to come.
2. What would you do if someone rang the doorbell while your mom was on the phone and your mom told you to answer it, then when you opened the door, there was a zebra on the porch?
Go to my mom, and tell her very calmly, "Mom, someone left a zebra on the porch. What do I do with it?"
3. What would you do if you went to take out the trash and in the outside trash can for the garbage collectors, someone had thrown away $70,000,000,000 dollars in cash?
Divide it in half. Save one half for college, and one half for whatever I felt like buying. And when I turned 18, I'd keep whatever was left over for food and clothes and a house and stuff.
4. What would you do if you woke up one morning to find that your house had been TP'ed on both the outside and inside?
Laugh. A. Lot. Until my mom told me I would have to spend the day helping to clean it up. Then I'd have to sneak on her computer for Chatterbox and Wikia time.
5. What would you do if a strange lady with a pink dress and a bow tie approached you on the street, put her hand on your shoulder, and offered you a present?
AAAHHH! It's just like the witch with the snake in the Roald Dahl novel The Witches!!!!
In other words: RUN!

1. Cry from joy that such fame had come to me, and sign the books. Also treat them to dinner and dedicate my next book to them.
2. Call the zoo. What else?
3. Faint, first, then wonder if I were seeing things. Once I made absolutely sure, I'd deposit the money, then buy a private jet.
4. Wonder if I woke up in a Parallel Universe.
5. The description sounds eerily like Dolores Umbridge, so I'd run. After all, that present might be some sort of Dark Art charm.

1. What would you do if you began writing a story about a character you
made up, and then suddenly a quantum space-time portal opened out of
nowhere and a couple people came out from seven decades into the future
asking you to sign their copies of the latest book in an ongoing
blockbuster series starring your character (the one you had just started
writing about)?
I would definitely sign the books, then I would go get my latest draft out of the trash and get working on that.
2. What would you do if someone rang the doorbell while your mom was on
the phone and your mom told you to answer it, then when you opened the
door, there was a zebra on the porch?
I would tell my mom there was a zebra on the porch and could we please call him Kevin in honor of the zebra in Candace's hallucinations on Phineas and Ferb tht always calls her Kevin.
3. What would you do if you went to take out the trash and in the
outside trash can for the garbage collectors, someone had thrown away
$70,000,000,000 dollars in cash?
If no one admitted to throwing any cash away, (I'd ask all my neighbors if they threw some away and how much.) I'd donate much of it and save much of it.
4. What would you do if you woke up one morning to find that your house had been TP'ed on both the outside and inside?
Scream at my little brother and sister, because obviously they did it and make the best of it because you can do so much stuff with TP.
5. What would you do if a strange lady with a pink dress and a bow tie
approached you on the street, put her hand on your shoulder, and offered
you a present?
I would run really far, really fast, and possibly call 911, because that is so scary.

Well, I was looking at some HypQuests of yours earlier. Didn't know what it was before earlier today. So it's a Hypothetical Question :) That's cool. Ok, so I'll answer them!
1. I'd be so happy and sign their copies. It would be one of the best days of my life!! I can see it now: New York Times Bestselling...
2. Stare at the zebra and think if this is a joke or not. Once I realize it's not, I'll tell my mom. Maybe we can keep it...?
3. I'd save all of it! For me and my family of course.
4. Be extremely annoyed. I have to clean all this up?!
5. RUN!!!!! I don't know you!!!!
Meant to submit this last night... but I got busy. Spammy says nzzzy. Spammy needs some sleep...

1: Sign the books.
2: Slay it and drink its blood to become immortal, then go conquer the world. MWAH- HA- HA- HAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
3: Save 90 percent of it for The Future, and keep 10 % for whatever. Also give some to charity. Of course I would have to take care of the legal bleep as well....

Whoops, forgot 2 answer other Hypquests before submitting.
4: IDK... help clean up. Tattle when I found my useless brother slacking off!
5: If I was w/ bro or family member, say code word. Move away quickly in any case.

nowhere and a couple people came out from seven decades into the future

blockbuster series starring your character (the one you had just started

I would sign their books and ask where I can buy one for myself. Then I would read, finish my book and sell it, knowing that'll be come popular. Awesomeness.
2. What would you do if someone rang the doorbell while your mom was on
the phone and your mom told you to answer it, then when you opened the
door, there was a zebra on the porch?
I would stare at it for a few seconds, then go get one of my siblings and tell them, "There's a zebra on the porch. Ya want to see?" And of course, they wouldn't believe me, but I'd convince them and we'd figure out soemthing to do with it. Maybe get the zoo or, well, we have a new pet!
3. What would you do if you went to take out the trash and in the
outside trash can for the garbage collectors, someone had thrown away
$70,000,000,000 dollars in cash?
Wonder why someone had left it there. Then take it, imagine how many books I could buy!!! I'd get my family a huge house and everything.
4. What would you do if you woke up one morning to find that your house had been TP'ed on both the outside and inside?
Figure out who did it and do it back to them, giggling my head off the whole time. And then giggle some more while I helped clean it up.
5. What would you do if a strange lady with a pink dress and a bow tie
approached you on the street, put her hand on your shoulder, and offered
you a present?
Say, "Um, why exactly do you want to give me a present, old lady?" Then try to slip out of taking it and run home.
Alternate answer: Scream my head off in her face and run all the way home, still screaming my head off.
