[ Brianna is sitting outside near the lake when she decides to play again, putting aside the book she was half-heartedly reading anyway. ]
We should play a game, maybe break up the day a little bit. It's called 'Would You Rather?' Basically, someone gives a scenario and you have to pick one or the other. No in between. You can explain your choice if you want, but we go back and forth until there's something so impossible to pick the other person gives up.
I'll even start.
[ She thinks for a moment, then looks back at the camera. ]
Would you rather know each time you're going to leave and come back when it comes to Wonderland, or would you rather it be a total surprise like it is now only you get to remember being here when you do leave?
I think I'd want to know when I was leaving. That way I could say goodbye, you know?
Anyway. Your turn.

[A beat, and then he goes ahead and just gives his answer.]
I'd rather be homeless in the city.

[ But she's supposed to answer, so: ]
I'd go with the wilderness. I like seeing people every now and then but I like being alone. I really like being out in the woods, growing my own food. I grew up in a city but we vacationed outside of it all the time, and now my parents live in a cabin in the middle of the forest. Maybe it runs in the family.

[There is definitely an appeal to that kind of life, even if he's never lived it himself.]
For me, there's the foraging thing. But mostly I'd choose the city because I think it would be hard to go without being around people for a very long time.
[That hasn't always been true for him. He used to be very solitary. And he still enjoys time alone. But things changed and now he finds it difficult to define himself as a person without others to reflect back who he should be in any given situation.]
Your turn.

[ She smiles just a little, thinking of one for a moment. ]
Oh, okay. Would you rather be a master of every musical instrument or be fluent in every language?
video;
I think I'd choose every language. Every instrument would be cool, but I feel like I could learn more in the end if I knew every language.

[ She smiles and shakes her head. ]
Who wouldn't want to be able to speak universally anywhere they went?
video;
video;
[ Bree gives a shrug. ]
You do have to learn how to read it, anyway.

[He smiles.]
Music does allow people to communicate things they might not be able to put into words, though. I have a friend who's too shy to really be able to express herself well. But when she plays music, she feels like she can reach people.
video;
[ She's always been curious. Not curious enough to pick up an instrument. ]
video;
[Again, he smiles.]
This game has been fun.
video;
[ Bree appreciates it very much. ]
video;
Any time. Take care.
