Twenty Quest

You are a young adventurer on a quest.

But wait. What sort of adventurer are you? And what's your quest? You'll need to figure that out before you can begin.

SpoilerWelcome to Twenty Questions With A Coin, Adventure Version! This is a terrible idea.

For those unfamiliar with the concept - it's very simple. You ask a Yes/No question, and I flip a coin for the answer. Heads means Yes, tails means No.

So all suggestions for this are to be made in the form of a Yes/No question. And despite the name, there is no limit to the number of questions I'll take, though I'd prefer it if the same person didn't ask more than two or three questions between updates.

Disclaimer: While I will try not to skip questions or cheat on answering them, I may do so on rare occasions. In general, though, this is going to be decided by the probably-ridiculous questions you ask and the way the coin comes down.

is your head an octopus

Is your quest to die?

are you the villain?

is your head an octopus

No.

Is your quest to die?

Yes.

are you the villain?

Yes.

Ah, it's coming back to you now. You are the most feared being in this land, but you were vanquished. As punishment for your numerous crimes, a curse was placed on you; your head is no longer an octopus, and this has greatly reduced your powers. The curse can only be removed by your own death, so you are seeking a way to die, which is very difficult as you regenerate from damage quickly.

It's taking you a moment to get used to thinking with this new head. There are still a few other important details you need to remember. These may include (but are not limited to) more information about yourself or your quest, the powers you used to have and what you can still do, information about the realm itself, and information about whoever thwarted your plans and cursed you.

You'll need to reflect on this a bit more.

Do you control water?

No.

Is the realm landlocked?

No.

Can you control the evil that lies in mans heart

Yes.

Ah, that's it. It's coming back to you now. Your octopus head allowed you mastery of water, and you used the fearsome power of the nearby sea to terrorize the kingdom. But with your octopus head gone, you are a shadow of the fearsome villain you once were.

That said, you are hardly powerless. You can still command the evil that lies in man's heart, and surely this will aid you in your quest to die.

There may be some other lingering memories that may emerge as you adjust to your new head, but you've remembered enough that you can start scheming as well. What's your plan, and is there anything else you need to know?

Do you have anything (clothes, rope, etc.)?

is the man whose heart the evil lies your boyfriend

No.

Do you have anything (clothes, rope, etc.)?

Yes.

An unpleasant detail has come to mind. While you can control the evil that lies in the heart of man, there is only one man in the kingdom, and what's worse, he's your ex-boyfriend. This is going to be awkward.

At least you don't start empty-handed. You reach into your pockets and take stock of what you have.

No.

are you a girl

Yes.

Can you dance the dance of allure and lust

No.

You pull a horse, a gun, a rope, and some money out of your pocket. Unfortunately, that's it. You have a custom-made iPod made of wool that also doubles as a fire-starter, but it must still be in the pocket of the nice clothes you were wearing when you were captured. Unfortunately, those were confiscated from you.

You miss those clothes, and the iPod, but one thing you don't miss is all the sand in there. Seriously, what were you even doing with all that sand?

You find your thoughts drifting back to your ex-boyfriend. You can't help but wonder where it went wrong.

Oh, that's right. Your damned hips. They can't tell a lie. If not for that, he wouldn't have seen through your bluff, he'd be convinced you could dance the dance of allure and lust, and you'd still be the sexiest couple in the kingdom. But no, your hips just had to reveal the truth to him.

Well, no use dwelling on the past. What matters is the future, and the future holds your death. Your head may no longer be an octopus, but you're still Lady Octopushead in your heart. You load the gun up with the loose change, sling the rope around your shoulder, hop on the horse and ride off towards your demise.

Just as soon as you can figure out where your demise is going to be, that is.

is the horse actually the prime leader of robots from another galaxy

can the horse fly

Are you human or partially-human? If not, are you a horse?

Did you wash up on the beach? If so, would you fill up your pockets with sand once more?

Do you think this horse is strong enough to kick you to death?

While you're here would you like to thank Mom and Dad?

Are you going to bury yourself in sand?

Do you have a secret network of spies to tell you the whereabouts of your ex

Are you pink?
