The hypothetical involves three ladies from three previous NSG hypotheticals threads.
The Mafia Queen (from “Antihero Scenario”)
Annie Holstadt (from “Life Sentence or Death Sentence???”)
Felicie (from “Party Gone South”)
This is a self-contained hypothetical, no reading of the prior threads is required (everything you need to know is in this thread). Some facts have been changed to make this hypothetical work.
The moral dilemma is very simple (yet very complex). You are required make decisions (right now) regarding the following three actions which will be carried out in this exact order:
1. Date (just once) one of the 3 characters, this is a "non-serious" date where both sides are looking to fool around
2. Marry one of the 3 characters
3. Tell a Death God to have one of the 3 characters killed
You must choose a different character for each of the three tasks. Each character may only be chosen once. Those are the rules.
A sample answer might look like:
John chooses to date the Mafia Queen, marry Annie Holstadt, and have the Death God kill Felicie.
The following IMPORTANT rules/assumptions apply:
You must pick a different character for each category.
For the marriage, you are not allowed to cheat, separate, or divorce from the wife (this is a lifelong ride, choose wisely). Also, you will be required to abide by a generalized duty of loyalty to the wife. It is assumed that the wife will agree to your marriage proposal.
The Death God will kill whoever you ask him to kill (only one character).
None of the women will accept an open or otherwise non exclusive relationship nor will they consider killing each other for you.
To facilitate your decision-making, I have provided the following information regarding the characters and their respective organizations:
Aurora Von Staufer, “the Mafia Queen”/”Ole Queenie” (age 26)
Bio:
The Mafia Queen is the leader of the world’s most powerful criminal organization with heavy influence over the US government. Considered royalty by the underworld, the Mafia Queen has the appearance of a Disney princess but has a highly vindictive and ruthless personality; most infamously, when Mr. Antihero killed her sister in a black ops mission… the Mafia Queen retaliated by ordering the deaths of not just Mr. Antihero, but that of his entire family (including children). An army of hired assassins subsequently killed Mr. Antihero. Her organization is involved in drug trafficking, murder, and all sorts of criminal enterprises.
The Mafia Queen has amassed a massive illegal fortune; she lives a very privileged upper-class lifestyle and has an army of servants. She agrees to subsidize any business plans or lifestyle you may wish for (within reason). If you wish to stay outside of the underworld life, she will respect your decision to do so. Because you have no royal blood, your marriage will not grant you any power in the crime family.
The Mafia Queen is haunted by the premature death of her sister with whom she was very close to. The Mafia Queen is estranged from the rest of her family. She suffers from periodic bouts of depression.
The Mafia Queen looks like:
Annie Holstadt, “Witch Annie/Queen of Europe” (age 29)
Bio:
Originally from Norway, Annie Holstadt is the victorious magical Queen of Europe. She is the witch queen dictator of all of Europe including European Russia. Annie is one of only 100 people in the world gifted with magic; she is more magically powerful than the next 50 magic users combined. Magic in this universe, is restricted to the use of combat and healing only.
Annie has a genocidal hatred of all non-Europeans (triggered by a combination of right wing extremist indoctrination and mental instability after surviving a near death experience in Rome involving terrorists). Her regime is genocidal and has already killed 12 million non-Europeans; some of those millions were killed by her soldiers, others by Annie herself using her magic. Having won the war against the Allies, Annie is satisfied with her current territorial holdings and has stopped waging wars of conquest. However, she will not rest until Europe is completely “purified.”
If you marry Annie, Annie will allow you to take part as a major politician/general/administrator figure in her regime as high up as second in command. However, if you want absolutely nothing to do with politics, she will respect that and let you do your own thing. She will support you financially and politically (within reason).
Annie has a troubled past. She was born an orphan, went through abusive foster homes, and currently suffers from periodic depression and anxiety. She suffers from PTSD. In addition, Annie is a medium level substance abuser (both alcohol and drugs).
Annie Holstadt looks like:
Felicie Delacroix (Age 26)
Felicie Delacroix is a red-haired Quebecois woman who lives in Victoria.
She has a liberal arts degree but no work experience.
Felicie lives off the trust funds from her deceased aunt’s royalties (from writing a popular French pop song). She focuses 100% of her attention on her appearance, expensive clothes/jewelry shopping, and comfort activities such as massages. If you marry her, she expects you to be the only Earner in the family and to support her with 100% of your finances and income.
She enjoys going to parties where she can draw attention to herself with her expensive clothes and her physical beauty. Her hobbies include dancing, photography, gossip, and playing cruel pranks on people. Her antics at a British Columbian farmhouse party are still spoken about to this day…
…
And that’s it folks.
TLDR:
Basically, you have to date 1 character once (a fool around date), marry 1 character, and kill 1 character. Explain your personal, moral, philosophical justifications. Please keep in mind the italicised rules above.
I am very interested to hear what you choose and why for every question.
The OP reserves the right to edit/clarify the OP in light of the complexity of the scenario and the questions.
