Would You Rather: 9-1-1 Edition (2nd Anniversary Special)

Come celebrate The Buddie System's 2nd anniversary (and Rachel’s birthday!) with an hour-long, 9-1-1-themed game of Would You Rather!

Rachel serves as the Question Czar, doling out unhinged scenarios featuring our favorite disaster firefighters and fam from the 118 for Han and Cil to navigate, make impossible choices, debate answers, and spiral accordingly.

With hypotheticals ranging from weighing whether we’d rather get relationship advice from Buck or from Eddie (oy vey, that’s a loaded question), to choosing between explaining AO3 tags to Bobby Nash or fandom discourse to Athena Grant — get ready for The Buddie System at our silliest!
