Okay, contestants, for the next question, choose
  one of the following for your new homeland:
1. 'the World of Darkness'*
2. 'brain slugs and Things from Beyond'
3. 'intersecting dimensions make for new and exciting
     adventures'
4. 'magic-nanny British Empire'
5. 'repressive totalitarianism and complete inability
    to measure stellar distances'
6. 'our Star Empire not only conquers your world, it
    imposes a watch on your very thoughts'

*(Any of various similiar versions; color and
packaging may vary; some models do not include
all options. Warrenty void where prohibited.)

You have 10 seconds to decide.

No second chances.

No deposit, no return.

[<grins> You wouldn't happen to be referring to
Mirabelle now, would you? As it happens, "Incredibly
short-lived homicidal fae" is now inaccurate on at
least two counts, bordering on three. None of which,
I'm sure, is particularly reassuring to Stalks. ;-) ]

What, "quite plausibly homicidal trans-fae who've
managed to eliminate the more foolhardy members of
the race"? I still remember poor Julia trying to
talk to some of the ones from Mirabelle's world,
and having half a dozen kill one another in swift
succession. One of the few times she's actually lost
her temper in the Pub :-)
