"...I feel this inquiry temps the mind to pursue unfavorable outlets. I shall humbly predict myself to believe that, even in anarchy, I would still abide by that rightful law of man and settle with minimum violence. After all, violence begets violence and I would be troubled to see such a chain-effect take place whist in anarchy. Who would tailor my suits? No, no, I believe a swift kick in the rear would suffice. Over the deck and cast out to Poseidon, if in convenience."

"Well dang it. I might faint dead away, like some damsel, I reckon. But if I had a few screws and an iron bar, I'd probably give 'em a blow to the head. Then I'd run, but it all depends." - Jay Trebelkum, Elementarni.

They mainly happen somewhere warm and sunny
on an island that I own, tanned and rested and alone

Heh... Having children. That's a thought.

"Well, I might consider sending it back to the mailing address, along with my own threats. If no such address is present, I assume I'd just have to take note of the event and stuff the blackmail in one of my pockets. But which one..."

I'm sorry, I didn't realize we were in an alternate universe.
- Ashlyn Fox

You are locked in a room in which you see no way to escape. You see three people: a pregnant woman, an old man, or a young boy. A voice (you have no idea where it comes from) tells you you must kill one to escape. What do you do?

"Which one do you actually want dead?"- Yo-Kelesh
"It doesn't matter what I want, but who you feel you should kill," -Astrid
Yo-Kelesh turns around smiling, slowly drawing his knife.
~Tale of the Tongues

If it was my sympathetic self, I would most likely kill myself before I commit murder.
If it was my crazy self, I'd shrug and say the voice is my schizophrenic brother.
If it was my logical self, I'd state that seeing as it is only the four of us in the room, and there are thus no means of killing someone, the task will not be possible. I would also state that by killing the pregnant woman,one would technically be killing more than one person, and that she should be set free.
If it was my imagination, this would not be possible, as my mind would come up with a better hostage situation. ;)

You are stranded on an island about which you know absolutely nothing. While travelling around the beach, you spot a strange looking box. You don't know who put it there, or what is inside. What would you do, and if you opened it what would you find inside?
