Choose twelve characters at random from your fandoms, then answer the questions under the cut. Do not look at the questions before you pick the characters.
Really. How the hell am I to know if this is fun without looking? Whoops, too late. Oh well.
1. Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11? What subjects would they teach?
Asrial would probably be the better professor. Both of them would teach much the same subjects (tactics, improvisational engineering), but Asrial would also have a class in Royal Etiquette that Solo would never care about enough to teach.
2. Do you think 4 is hot? How hot?
Yes, or at least as hot as a nonanthropomorphic werewolf can be in a text-only format. I would like to see the custom-hammered breastplate, though.
3. 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Justy Ueki Tylor would likely send Washuu out for something like dinner or booze- for a ship captain he's very much not the ordering type. Washuu, of course, would succeed at anything provided Mihoshi is not involved in any way, but she'd make it seem far, far more of an accomplishment than it really is.
4. What is or would be 9's favorite book?
The Art of War by Sun Tsu, although she'd complain that the book was ghost-written by the War Master's wife.
5. Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
Whoa. Dueling royalty. It wouldn't make much sense for either to swear fealty to either, but technically Asrial ranks Miles, so it'd be more sensible- barely- for Miles to swear to her than vice versa. (If he did, though, it would be for very ulterior motives.)
6. For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should s/he share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10?
Detritus with Cologne would be more workable. Boober would be too scared to death of the giant rock monster to tolerate things- doubly so since Detritus has very little laundry that needs doing.
7. 2, 7 and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Miles, Guido and Tylor... well, that practically demands booze. Guido would choose the restaurant (Italian-analogue), it would be a place that serves liquor. After some false starts on the subject of tactics, women, and philosophy, the three would finally get a rip-roaring debate going on personnel management.
8. 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
Everyone in the universe laughs, but Boober overcomes his cowardice enough to show up, and Jack won't fight anyone who isn't any threat to him.
9. If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would 8 get it back?
Jack Holloway, experienced though he is on frontier colony worlds, would have to be very lucky indeed to steal anything of Washuu's. Washuu would then make Pappy Jack's life miserable until he returned whatever-it-was, upon which point he would discover that Washuu had long since taken it back anyway.
Edit: Oh. Most precious possession- well, that would be Tenchi, in which case the best phrase to describe what happens next is, "overwhelming firepower."
10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
The Day the Mattresses Went Cold
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
Fuzzies on the Discworld. Evil forces plot their destruction; Angua and Holloway team up to defend the Fuzzies while Sam Vimes hires eccentric woodlands lawyer Gus Brannard to fight in the courts for Fuzzy rights.
12. If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
By me not asking any questions, mostly.
13. If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
Whoa. Experienced covert-ops man with at least some wetwork experience? Don't tempt me... I'd ask him to train me for marksmanship.
14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11?
Possibly, but not to my knowledge at the moment. In fact, I specifically avoided including any of my own creations in the list.
15. If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
... okay, this is why you don't pick from the same source. Both are tempting. Miles might think Detritus is easily manipulable (it's not as easy as it looks), but I think he'd end up siding with Angua, strictly on brains.
16. What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
"I DON'T WANNA DO THIS!!"
17. If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
"Weird Science"
18. 1, 6, and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?
Asrial. Tylor would defer for beauty, Holloway for youth.
19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
... dude. DUDE. Let's try that again...
19. What might be a goodpick-up recruitment line for 2 to use on 10?
"Join the Dendarii! See the galaxy! Do its laundry!"
20. What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
Stupidity in a Built Up Area.
21. What is 6's secret?
I don't really know if it's secret, but she really wanted to marry Jeremy Feeple, even without the confusion when they met about an arranged marriage.
22. If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Depends. Anywhere on a planetary surface, ancient Chinese secrets would win out. But in space... dude. The Millenium Falcon. Dude.
23. 3 and 7 tell conflicting versions of events. Which is more reliable?
On the whole, O'Neill. There are more situations where Guido might have to cover for the Mob's present or past activities than O'Neill would have to obey need-to-know regulations about his own activities.
24. (1) and (9) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by (4)'s sinister secret organization. (11) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that (11) is actually a spy for (4). Meanwhile, (4) has kidnapped (12) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of (5) they seek out (3), who gives them what they need to complete their quest.
Yeah, is there a question there somewhere? I'll fill in the blanks anyway:

OH! There's a line left off here.
What title would you give this fic?
Old Wolfhunters.
25. If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?
Well, Guido... I know that when you walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, you fear no evil because you are the baddest damn thing in the valley... but Washuu is infinitely more dangerous than you.
On the other hand, considering Washuu's mercurial temper and humor... maybe I'll go with Guido after all...
Hm. I did that to relax, but I feel no more relaxed.

Date: 2006-04-06 12:18 am (UTC)Yes, I saw this meme the other day and started to respond, but twenty-five questions are too many.
Solo appears in my cartoons occasionally. Maybe if it'd been him instead of Skywalker in that one the other Friday he'd've been more identifiable.
