For the ask game!

- Lady Macbeth

- Goneril & Regan (they are a package deal, sorry!)

- Cleopatra

This is really good. Really. Good.

Send three characters and I'll tell you which I'd rather have get randomly assigned as your lab partner for a whole semester, get trapped with on a broken elevator for ten hours, and get as my employee trainer for my new job at McDonald's

Lab partner for a whole semester: Goneril & Regan Signing up for a normal semester? No. I'd sign up for constant intensity and absolutely no chill. The term project would get finished three weeks early. Nobody knows how. I'd survive, or I wouldn't. Also, I know how to navigate sisters. Either way, unforgettable.

Trapped in a broken elevator for ten hours: Cleopatra She'd talk about politics, history, fashion, love affairs, military strategy, and herself. And yes, SHE would talk. It'd be a masterclass in charisma. Ten hours would feel like two. Imagine the stories she could tell. She is the Queen of Egypt, a polyglot, educated beyond what most people today could hope for. She has seen Ancient Rome and Egypt, and she probably studied at the Library of Alexandria. She has been with BOTH Julius Caesar AND Mark Antony. Wild.

Employee trainer at McDonald's: Lady Macbeth She would know every rule and procedure and enforce them to the letter, with no patience for incompetence. I'd be terrified, but I'd become an excellent employee. She would be meticulous. "Here's a spot." Everyone would wash their hands manically. "Out, damned spot!"
