Answers: the 15-character meme
Two days ago I posted the 15-character meme:
1) Make a list of 15 characters first, and keep it to yourself for the moment. (That way you're not leading the questions asked to fit the characters.)
2) Ask your flist to post questions in the comments. (Go ahead, ask several! That's a lot of characters.)
For example:
"4, 6, 12 & 15 are starting a band together, what is their name and what kind of music do they play? Also, who's the lead singer, and what instruments do the others play?"
"Have 3 write a fanfic about 7 and 12."
"14 and 13 are fighting over what, and who wins?"
"14 describes their first kiss with 7."
"1, 2, and 3 meet up and argue 10's shortcomings."
(etc, etc, etc)
3) After your flist has asked enough questions, round them up and answer them using the 15 characters you selected beforehand, and then post them.
The characters I chose beforehand are listed below:
1. Brad Crawford (Weiss Kreuz)
2. Tatsumi Seiichirou (Yami no Matsuei)
3. Aizen Sousuke (Bleach)
4. Muraki Kazutaka (Yami no Matsuei)
5. Chang Wufei (Gundam Wing)
6. Hisagi Shuuhei (Bleach)
7. Schuldig (Weiss Kreuz)
8. Ran Fujimiya (Weiss Kreuz)
9. Muguruma Kensei (Bleach)
10. Cho Hakkai (Saiyuki)
11. Coyote Starrk (Bleach)
12. Abarai Renii (Bleach)
13. Treize Khushrenda (Gundam Wing)
14. Ni Jianyi (Saiyuki)
15. Sha Gojyo (Saiyuki)
And now, your fabulous questions, and rather crack-tastic answers:
From: cairnsy:
1) 7 and 2 walk into a bar. Which one buys the first round, and more importantly, why?
Schuldig and Tatsumi walk into a bar - separately, of course. Tatsumi looks uncomfortable: he’s only there because of a mission. Schuldig is more than comfortable, and he’s there on a mission. Schuldig buys the first around because 1) Tatsumi is too cheap to pick up the tab, and 2) Schuldig wants the fun to start.
2) 9, 8 and 11 are swept overboard and end up on a lush, abandoned island. How do they survive?
Kensei, Ran and Starrk are swept overboard and end up on a lush, abandoned island. Amusingly enough, after a bad start (well, both Kensei and Ran have tempers) they discover they get along pretty well: Kensei and Ran are both strong-willed men seeking revenge and a form of justice, and they both love a good fight; Starrk is much more laid back, but he’s sharp and incisive, and he is the one that breaks up any alpha male posturing, plus Lilynette charms the pants off of both Kensei and Ran when she‘s around. Starrk is simply thrilled not to be on the island on his own.
They survive quite easily. They have weapons - Kensei’s short blades, Ran’s katana, Starrk’s guns (though Ran freaks out when he sees the wolves for the first time) - and food is easy to find. Kensei breaks open coconuts with his fist and Starrk’s coyotes flush out animals for the three men to hunt.
3) 3 writes a biography about 4. What secrets does he reveal?
Aizen writes a biography about Muraki. Ahahahaha! Aizen reveals everything: the truth about Muraki’s brother Saki, how Muraki has obtained his demon summoning and other occult-related skills and what his true agenda is. Aizen is rather insulting the entire way through the biography - after all, Muraki only had 3 shinigami, at times, to deal with in various battles, while Aizen himself had a few dozen. *g*. The few things Aizen are complementary about, though, are Muraki’s insatiable lust for increased power and his impeccable white suits. He also likes the mechanical eye that flashes when Muraki is being especially evil.
From: horusguard76:
4) Why would 5 and 10 never have tea time together? Was it a bad encounter or are their families enemies since for the last 300 years?
Oh, but Chang Wufei and Cho Hakkai *would* have tea together! In fact, Hakkai is probably the only person out of the fifteen on this list he would get along with from start to finish. They would so bond over their past tragedies once they allowed themselves to reveal such painful details, and both would be polite (Wufei does have a temper, but it does need a trigger) and respectful at most times. Based on their respective lifetimes, Hakkai could be a descendant of Wufei’s.
5) Where have 7 and 12 made out the first time?
Schuldig and Renji (*dies as the mental image of two such sexy redheads kissing*) made out for the first time: 1)in AU fic, at a nightclub or bar, either on the dance floor or in a dark alley nearby; 2)in WK-verse, during a Schwarz assasination attempt interrupted by the appearance of hollows; or 3)in Bleach-verse, during a shinigami mission in Hueco Mundo where Renji encounters Espada!Schuldig - Renji will wish he had Syazel Apporo Granz back as an enemy compared to what Schuldig can do.
6) What does 11 remind 15 of? Does that make 11 hate or love 15?
Starrk reminds Gojyo of loneliness and despair - the loneliness Gojyo experienced after running off on his own after his step-mother tried to kill him, the despair and self-blame he felt - but Gojyo couldn’t hate him for it. In fact, he’d go out of his way to befriend Staark. And now, Gojyo has someone who’ll back him up the next time Sanzo goes for his gun! *smirks*
7) If 6 and 3 could steal something together - what would it be?
AHAHAHA! My sanity. Seriously. Hisagi and Aizen, working together… *giggle snort* Um. Well, Hisagi and Aizen… oh, hell. Okay, two ideas: 1) Aizen gets his hands on Hisagi during the ongoing Winter War battle at FKT and newly!hollowfied!Espada!Hisagi works with Aizen to steal the King’s Key from Soul Society, or 2) Hisagi has secretly been working for Aizen ever since the Academy incident where he obtained his scars and Aizen and Ichimaru saved his life, and he works for Aizen as they try to steal the hogyouku out of Kuchiki Rukia.
Though, honestly, the two have them have been stealing the majority of my fandom writing time these days. *g*
From: daegaer:
8) 2 has picked some flowers for 7 - what occasion are they for and what does 14 think about it?
Tatusmi has picked some flowers for Schuldig (!) - the occasion is 1) Schuldig’s death (even then Tatsumi is too cheap to actually buy flowers) or 2) Schuldig’s favorite holiday, Mindfuck-a-Shinigami day (in this case otherwise known as If-I-can’t-fuck-over-Crawford-I’m-gonna-fuck-over-the-nearest-substitute-at-hand day, even if Schuldig does like Tatsumi’s suits better.) Ni Jianyi is fascinated by Schuldig’s powers, and can’t wait to get the assassin to his laboratory to run some experiments…
9) If 9 and 10 have drunken sex, which of them regrets it the next morning?
If Kensei and Hakkai have drunken sex, only Hakkai regrets it in the morning - Kensei’s had over a hundred years to think about regrets, and he got over that emotion a long time ago. Kensei only regrets it if it’s Youkai!Hakkai, and he’s still caught up in the vines (OK, so maybe he doesn’t regret it even then)…
10) What would be 1 and 15's ideal date (and if 8 showed up then, what would happen)?
*giggles* Brad Crawford and Sha Gojyo… I’m gonna say playing high-stakes poker, fleecing the other players. If Fujimiya Ran showed up pheromones would explode a fight would break out. Crawford and Gojyo (and secretly, Ran) would enjoy the all-out brawl than ensued.
11) 1, 3, 5, 11 and 13 find themselves exploring the ancient civilization in the Earth's hollow core - what's the first thing they inadvertently get in trouble over? (Or advertently, for that matter?)
Crawford, Aizen, Wufei, Starrk and Treize are exploring the ancient civilization in the Earth’s hollow core (!) - Starrk inadvertently gets them into trouble during one of Crawford’s, Aizen’s and Treize’s numerous arguments about which one of them is in charge, and accidentally triggers a trap door or security device as he turns over his sleep. Wufei’s mistake is more advertent - finding himself trapped underground with Treize in very close quarters is enough to trigger his temper, and his shouting easily betrays their presence. Though, really, Crawford should have seen this all coming.
12) Aaaaand, not my question, but I had a lot of fun writing up what happened when I answered this, once upon a time: One and Nine are in a happy relationship until Nine suddenly runs off with Four. One, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Eleven and a brief unhappy affair with Twelve, then follows the wise advice of Five and finds true love with Three. What title would you give this fic? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it.
Crawford and Kensei are in a happy relationship until Kensei suddenly runs off with Muraki. Crawford, broken-hearted, as a hot one-night stand with Starrk and a brief unhappy affair with Renji, then follows the wise advice of Wufei and finds true love with Aizen. I cannot tell you just how much wrongness there is in the above sentence. However, the idea of Crawford and Aizen working together to take over the world is fascinating - a clairvoyant and an illusionist-cum-God - and it would be fun to see them turn on one another after their success to see who eventually rules. The title of the fic? Winner Takes All. Three people who would read it? lady_ganesh, mainekosama and rheasilvia. I think lady_ganesh is probably the most familiar with all the fandoms involved, so I’d choose her to write it.
From rheasilvia:
13) How does 5 confess to 7, and what does 15 think about it? Does any of them consult 1 about the whole affair?
Wufei confesses to Schuldig only as a result of Schuldig’s telepathic coercion (he really thinks Schuldig is Treize ^_^). Gojyo thinks it’s kind of cute, not realizing what’s really going on here. Not only did Schuldig consult with Crawford about the whole affair, Crawford is the one who designed the plan.
14) What bugs 3 about 8, and why do they never tell them about it?
Aizen is greatly annoyed about Ran’s sister-fixation: all obsessive worship should be given to Aizen alone. *g* Aizen doesn’t tell him about it because he’s busy trying to take over the world, and because it would make him look petty, and Aizen is all about image.
15) 2, 6 and 9 get drunk and play "I never". Who wins, and why?
Tatsumi, Hisagi and Kensei get drunk and play "I never". *beams* It’s a close race between Tatsumi and Hisagi: those two controlled, stoic men have a LOT of "I never’s" between them *g*, and even Kensei’s highly-developed tolerance level for alcohol can’t keep up. I’ll give Tatsumi the win, because he still hasn’t admitted his feelings for Tsuzuki, while Hisagi and Kensei have been getting it on for a while now, so any "I never’s" relating to sex gives Tatsumi the edge. *winks*
16) 11 and 12 wake up in bed together. What happened the night before?
Starrk and Renji wake up in bed together. Glorious, sexy things happened the night before. *goes to my happy place* Assuming this happens post Winter War events, a bad-guy-turned-good Starrk is working for Soul Society now, and he and Renji got drunk the night before and got it on. Now, sated and comfortable they are wrapped in a fur pelt and enjoying a long nap.
17) 10 and 4 are in a romantic relationship, as are 13 and 14. They all start a business together. What kind of business is it, and who is responsible for what?
Hakkai and Muraki (!) are in a romantic relationship, as are Treize and Ni Jianyi. They start a business together… it has to be called Three Evil Men and One with Potential, lol… I’m thinking a corporate think tank, one of those businesses that secretly run governments lobby politicians though blackmail, bribery and influence. That or they run a large pharmaceutical firm and plan to poison the world’s water supplies and control the now blissful, doped-up citizens.
From gypsygrrl420:
18) 5 goes to a strip club and discovers 9 working there as a dancer. What does 5 and 9 do?
Wufei goes to a strip club and discovers Kensei working there as a dancer. Wufei blushes - this isn’t his kind of place, he’s only there because Duo dared him - and Kensei shouts at the underaged Wufei to get the hell out of the place. Kensei kicks him out on his ass, then Wufei runs off and blows up another military base - or mopes.
19) 1, 4, 8, 11, and 15 are drinking together in a bar. 8 notices 6 and 9 making out in a corner...does 8 tell the others, and what are their reactions? (And does 6 and 9 notice they have an audience?)
Crawford, Muraki, Ran, Starrk and Gojyo are drinking together in a bar. (That must be one hell of a conversation going on.) Ran notices Shuuhei and Kensei making out in a corner… does Ran tell the others, and what are their reactions? Ran doesn’t tell them - he’s a private kind of guy - but the other men notice anyway. Starrk and Gojyo are appreciative of the display (Starrk especially so, as he’s the only one that knows the two men… and wants to know them better, hmm) and offer a sort of play-by-play commentary. Crawford is hoping that Ran, despite his outer prudishness, will be inspired by the performance later tonight. Muraki is simply watching everyone, trying to decide which person would be the best to kidnap and perform hideous experiments on later.
Do Shuuhei and Kensei notice they have an audience. Yep, Kensei first, then Shuuhei. They keep on going, both because they are really into it, and because they are hoping to lure Starrk over to join them. *g*
20) 12 and 2 are having sex in a public place when 4, 8, 9, and 15 pass by...what's the reaction from all parties?
Renji and Tatsumi are having sex in a public place when Muraki, Ran, Kensei and Gojyo pass by… what’s the reaction from all parties?
Muraki is surprised, briefly suspicious, then trying to decide how to use this information against Tatsumi. Ran is surprised, briefly annoyed, then secretly wonders if he would look that good with his long red hair wild and loose in bed with Yohji. Kensei is surprised, briefly annoyed at how good Renji looks nude, then spends the next hour deciding who to pass this info on to first - Byakuya, to get Renji in trouble, plus to see the look of shock on the captain’s face, or Shuuhei, because Kensei’s always thought Shuuhei and Renji were too friendly with one another. Gojyo isn’t surprised: he just wants to join the pair (and imagines how he’d look with tattos similar to Renji’s.)
From lady_ganesh:
21) 4 and 6 wake up together...in a cell. How did they get there, and what do they do to get out?
Muraki and Shuuhei wake up together… in a cell. (Oh, Gawd, poor Shuuhei! *g*) It’s all Aizen’s doing, naturally. Muraki offers to put his skills to work for Aizen, though of course he plans to steal his abilities and kill him later. Poor Shuuhei actually thinks it’s a good idea to work with Muraki in escaping… *shudders*
22) 15 and 2 put on a play about 12 and 13. Is it any good?
Gojyo and Tatsumi put on a play about Renji and Treize. It should be good (Gojyo understands Renji’s type, and Tatsumi gets the basics about Treize), but it’s actually horrible: Gojyo’s portions are fun and musical while Tatsumi’s are dark, serious drama - it’s like watching a Fellini film, or maybe one by Ed Wood.
23) Have 3 write a fanfic about 7 and 12. (It's a good one!)
Aizen writes a fanfic about Schuldig and Renji. Sorry, but it is horrible! With Aizen, it’s all about him, anyway:
The two attractive redheads crawled towards me, their sleek, naked limbs gleaming in the candlelight. So intent upon reaching me, touching me, Schuldig and Renji nearly come to blows over who should have the honor of worshipping my body, pleasuring me in every way.
It is only with my commanding, sensual drawl of, “Focus, pets,” that their attention is returned to where it rightfully belongs: on my magnificence. *gags*
From: xglimpsex:
24) 7 bound and thrown in 15’s closet. What happens?
Schuldig is bound and thrown in Gojyo’s closet. What happens is lots of wanton, enthusiastic sex. At first, Gojyo doesn’t remove the bindings, BTW. A few days later Crawford and Sanzo notice that Schuldig’s and Gojyo’s choices in clothing have gotten even worse.
25) 8 interrupts a long, honest confession of love from 2 to 6.
Ran interrupts a long, honest confession of love from Tatsumi to Crawford. Oh, my!
Tatsumi: Crawford-san, we have much in common. An excellent fashion sense, glasses of DOOM, a professional, serious persona, a distaste for evil scientists. If only you were a shinigami like myself…
Ran: *cuts in* Shi-ne! *cuts Crawford*
Crawford: *dies*
Ran: My work here is done. *leaves*
Crawford: *reborn as a shinigami, stands up, straightens his tie* You were saying?
26) 1 gets his driver’s license. 14 is his instructor. How do they pass?
Brad Crawford gets his driver’s license, with Ni Jianyi as his instructor. (!) They pass the only way possible… by cheating. *g*
27) 3 finds a secret place outside the city. How does he use it? Who of the other numbers does he tell/let visit?
Aizen finds a secret palace place outside the city. How does he use it? As his lair, of course: every good villain has a lair, it’s where he creates his plans to take over the world. Aizen would tell Muraki and and Ni Jianyi about it - he does need allies to use, then betray win, after all; Schuldig would find out using his telepathy and alert Crawford; Treize would be invited over for dinner and conversation - a potential ally or someone to get rid of quickly; Starrk already works for him, so he knows; and, finally, Aizen would take Shuuhei (and possibly Renji) there against their will for sexy times more personal reasons.
28. 9 goes on a mission and discovers 10 has been undercover as a burlesque dancer, what happens?
Kensei goes on a mission and discovers Hakkai has been undercover as a burlesque dancer. What happens? It turns out Hakkai is working to take down the same bad guys, and the two kick ass together quite well (Kensei resembles Sanzo in many ways, Hakkai decides). It also turns out Hakkai’s vines are very attractive, so when Kensei returns home, he suggests them to Shuuhei as a future tattoo.
1) Make a list of 15 characters first, and keep it to yourself for the moment. (That way you're not leading the questions asked to fit the characters.)
2) Ask your flist to post questions in the comments. (Go ahead, ask several! That's a lot of characters.)
For example:
"4, 6, 12 & 15 are starting a band together, what is their name and what kind of music do they play? Also, who's the lead singer, and what instruments do the others play?"
"Have 3 write a fanfic about 7 and 12."
"14 and 13 are fighting over what, and who wins?"
"14 describes their first kiss with 7."
"1, 2, and 3 meet up and argue 10's shortcomings."
(etc, etc, etc)
3) After your flist has asked enough questions, round them up and answer them using the 15 characters you selected beforehand, and then post them.
The characters I chose beforehand are listed below:
1. Brad Crawford (Weiss Kreuz)
2. Tatsumi Seiichirou (Yami no Matsuei)
3. Aizen Sousuke (Bleach)
4. Muraki Kazutaka (Yami no Matsuei)
5. Chang Wufei (Gundam Wing)
6. Hisagi Shuuhei (Bleach)
7. Schuldig (Weiss Kreuz)
8. Ran Fujimiya (Weiss Kreuz)
9. Muguruma Kensei (Bleach)
10. Cho Hakkai (Saiyuki)
11. Coyote Starrk (Bleach)
12. Abarai Renii (Bleach)
13. Treize Khushrenda (Gundam Wing)
14. Ni Jianyi (Saiyuki)
15. Sha Gojyo (Saiyuki)
And now, your fabulous questions, and rather crack-tastic answers:
From: cairnsy:

Schuldig and Tatsumi walk into a bar - separately, of course. Tatsumi looks uncomfortable: he’s only there because of a mission. Schuldig is more than comfortable, and he’s there on a mission. Schuldig buys the first around because 1) Tatsumi is too cheap to pick up the tab, and 2) Schuldig wants the fun to start.
2) 9, 8 and 11 are swept overboard and end up on a lush, abandoned island. How do they survive?
Kensei, Ran and Starrk are swept overboard and end up on a lush, abandoned island. Amusingly enough, after a bad start (well, both Kensei and Ran have tempers) they discover they get along pretty well: Kensei and Ran are both strong-willed men seeking revenge and a form of justice, and they both love a good fight; Starrk is much more laid back, but he’s sharp and incisive, and he is the one that breaks up any alpha male posturing, plus Lilynette charms the pants off of both Kensei and Ran when she‘s around.

He also likes the mechanical eye that flashes when Muraki is being especially evil.
From: horusguard76:
4) Why would 5 and 10 never have tea time together? Was it a bad encounter or are their families enemies since for the last 300 years?
Oh, but Chang Wufei and Cho Hakkai *would* have tea together! In fact, Hakkai is probably the only person out of the fifteen on this list he would get along with from start to finish. They would so bond over their past tragedies once they allowed themselves to reveal such painful details, and both would be polite (Wufei does have a temper, but it does need a trigger) and respectful at most times. Based on their respective lifetimes, Hakkai could be a descendant of Wufei’s.
5) Where have 7 and 12 made out the first time?
Schuldig and Renji (*dies as the mental image of two such sexy redheads kissing*) made out for the first time: 1)in AU fic, at a nightclub or bar, either on the dance floor or in a dark alley nearby; 2)in WK-verse, during a Schwarz assasination attempt interrupted by the appearance of hollows; or 3)in Bleach-verse, during a shinigami mission in Hueco Mundo where Renji encounters Espada!Schuldig - Renji will wish he had Syazel Apporo Granz back as an enemy compared to what Schuldig can do.
6) What does 11 remind 15 of? Does that make 11 hate or love 15?
Starrk reminds Gojyo of loneliness and despair - the loneliness Gojyo experienced after running off on his own after his step-mother tried to kill him, the despair and self-blame he felt - but Gojyo couldn’t hate him for it. In fact, he’d go out of his way to befriend Staark. And now, Gojyo has someone who’ll back him up the next time Sanzo goes for his gun! *smirks*
7) If 6 and 3 could steal something together - what would it be?
AHAHAHA! My sanity. Seriously. Hisagi and Aizen, working together… *giggle snort* Um. Well, Hisagi and Aizen… oh, hell. Okay, two ideas: 1) Aizen gets his hands on Hisagi during the ongoing Winter War battle at FKT and newly!hollowfied!Espada!Hisagi works with Aizen to steal the King’s Key from Soul Society, or 2) Hisagi has secretly been working for Aizen ever since the Academy incident where he obtained his scars and Aizen and Ichimaru saved his life, and he works for Aizen as they try to steal the hogyouku out of Kuchiki Rukia.
Though, honestly, the two have them have been stealing the majority of my fandom writing time these days. *g*
From: daegaer:
8) 2 has picked some flowers for 7 - what occasion are they for and what does 14 think about it?
Tatusmi has picked some flowers for Schuldig (!) - the occasion is 1) Schuldig’s death (even then Tatsumi is too cheap to actually buy flowers) or 2) Schuldig’s favorite holiday, Mindfuck-a-Shinigami day (in this case otherwise known as If-I-can’t-fuck-over-Crawford-I’m-gonna-fuck-over-the-nearest-substitute-at-hand day, even if Schuldig does like Tatsumi’s suits better.) Ni Jianyi is fascinated by Schuldig’s powers, and can’t wait to get the assassin to his laboratory to run some experiments…
9) If 9 and 10 have drunken sex, which of them regrets it the next morning?
If Kensei and Hakkai have drunken sex, only Hakkai regrets it in the morning - Kensei’s had over a hundred years to think about regrets, and he got over that emotion a long time ago. Kensei only regrets it if it’s Youkai!Hakkai, and he’s still caught up in the vines (OK, so maybe he doesn’t regret it even then)…
10) What would be 1 and 15's ideal date (and if 8 showed up then, what would happen)?
*giggles* Brad Crawford and Sha Gojyo… I’m gonna say playing high-stakes poker, fleecing the other players. If Fujimiya Ran showed up pheromones would explode a fight would break out. Crawford and Gojyo (and secretly, Ran) would enjoy the all-out brawl than ensued.
11) 1, 3, 5, 11 and 13 find themselves exploring the ancient civilization in the Earth's hollow core - what's the first thing they inadvertently get in trouble over? (Or advertently, for that matter?)
Crawford, Aizen, Wufei, Starrk and Treize are exploring the ancient civilization in the Earth’s hollow core (!) - Starrk inadvertently gets them into trouble during one of Crawford’s, Aizen’s and Treize’s numerous arguments about which one of them is in charge, and accidentally triggers a trap door or security device as he turns over his sleep. Wufei’s mistake is more advertent - finding himself trapped underground with Treize in very close quarters is enough to trigger his temper, and his shouting easily betrays their presence.

The title of the fic? Winner Takes All. Three people who would read it? lady_ganesh, mainekosama and rheasilvia. I think lady_ganesh is probably the most familiar with all the fandoms involved, so I’d choose her to write it.
From rheasilvia:
13) How does 5 confess to 7, and what does 15 think about it? Does any of them consult 1 about the whole affair?
Wufei confesses to Schuldig only as a result of Schuldig’s telepathic coercion (he really thinks Schuldig is Treize ^_^). Gojyo thinks it’s kind of cute, not realizing what’s really going on here.

Starrk and Renji wake up in bed together. Glorious, sexy things happened the night before. *goes to my happy place* Assuming this happens post Winter War events, a bad-guy-turned-good Starrk is working for Soul Society now, and he and Renji got drunk the night before and got it on. Now, sated and comfortable they are wrapped in a fur pelt and enjoying a long nap.
17) 10 and 4 are in a romantic relationship, as are 13 and 14. They all start a business together. What kind of business is it, and who is responsible for what?
Hakkai and Muraki (!) are in a romantic relationship, as are Treize and Ni Jianyi. They start a business together… it has to be called Three Evil Men and One with Potential, lol… I’m thinking a corporate think tank, one of those businesses that secretly run governments lobby politicians though blackmail, bribery and influence. That or they run a large pharmaceutical firm and plan to poison the world’s water supplies and control the now blissful, doped-up citizens.
From gypsygrrl420:
18) 5 goes to a strip club and discovers 9 working there as a dancer. What does 5 and 9 do?
Wufei goes to a strip club and discovers Kensei working there as a dancer. Wufei blushes - this isn’t his kind of place, he’s only there because Duo dared him - and Kensei shouts at the underaged Wufei to get the hell out of the place. Kensei kicks him out on his ass, then Wufei runs off and blows up another military base - or mopes.
19) 1, 4, 8, 11, and 15 are drinking together in a bar. 8 notices 6 and 9 making out in a corner...does 8 tell the others, and what are their reactions? (And does 6 and 9 notice they have an audience?)
Crawford, Muraki, Ran, Starrk and Gojyo are drinking together in a bar. (That must be one hell of a conversation going on.) Ran notices Shuuhei and Kensei making out in a corner… does Ran tell the others, and what are their reactions? Ran doesn’t tell them - he’s a private kind of guy - but the other men notice anyway. Starrk and Gojyo are appreciative of the display (Starrk especially so, as he’s the only one that knows the two men… and wants to know them better, hmm) and offer a sort of play-by-play commentary. Crawford is hoping that Ran, despite his outer prudishness, will be inspired by the performance later tonight. Muraki is simply watching everyone, trying to decide which person would be the best to kidnap and perform hideous experiments on later.
Do Shuuhei and Kensei notice they have an audience. Yep, Kensei first, then Shuuhei. They keep on going, both because they are really into it, and because they are hoping to lure Starrk over to join them. *g*
20) 12 and 2 are having sex in a public place when 4, 8, 9, and 15 pass by...what's the reaction from all parties?
Renji and Tatsumi are having sex in a public place when Muraki, Ran, Kensei and Gojyo pass by… what’s the reaction from all parties?
Muraki is surprised, briefly suspicious, then trying to decide how to use this information against Tatsumi. Ran is surprised, briefly annoyed, then secretly wonders if he would look that good with his long red hair wild and loose in bed with Yohji. Kensei is surprised, briefly annoyed at how good Renji looks nude, then spends the next hour deciding who to pass this info on to first - Byakuya, to get Renji in trouble, plus to see the look of shock on the captain’s face, or Shuuhei, because Kensei’s always thought Shuuhei and Renji were too friendly with one another. Gojyo isn’t surprised: he just wants to join the pair (and imagines how he’d look with tattos similar to Renji’s.)
From lady_ganesh:
21) 4 and 6 wake up together...in a cell. How did they get there, and what do they do to get out?
Muraki and Shuuhei wake up together… in a cell. (Oh, Gawd, poor Shuuhei! *g*) It’s all Aizen’s doing, naturally. Muraki offers to put his skills to work for Aizen, though of course he plans to steal his abilities and kill him later. Poor Shuuhei actually thinks it’s a good idea to work with Muraki in escaping… *shudders*
22) 15 and 2 put on a play about 12 and 13. Is it any good?
Gojyo and Tatsumi put on a play about Renji and Treize. It should be good (Gojyo understands Renji’s type, and Tatsumi gets the basics about Treize), but it’s actually horrible: Gojyo’s portions are fun and musical while Tatsumi’s are dark, serious drama - it’s like watching a Fellini film, or maybe one by Ed Wood.
23) Have 3 write a fanfic about 7 and 12. (It's a good one!)
Aizen writes a fanfic about Schuldig and Renji. Sorry, but it is horrible! With Aizen, it’s all about him, anyway:
The two attractive redheads crawled towards me, their sleek, naked limbs gleaming in the candlelight. So intent upon reaching me, touching me, Schuldig and Renji nearly come to blows over who should have the honor of worshipping my body, pleasuring me in every way.
It is only with my commanding, sensual drawl of, “Focus, pets,” that their attention is returned to where it rightfully belongs: on my magnificence. *gags*
From: xglimpsex:
24) 7 bound and thrown in 15’s closet. What happens?
Schuldig is bound and thrown in Gojyo’s closet. What happens is lots of wanton, enthusiastic sex. At first, Gojyo doesn’t remove the bindings, BTW. A few days later Crawford and Sanzo notice that Schuldig’s and Gojyo’s choices in clothing have gotten even worse.
25) 8 interrupts a long, honest confession of love from 2 to 6.
Ran interrupts a long, honest confession of love from Tatsumi to Crawford. Oh, my!
Tatsumi: Crawford-san, we have much in common. An excellent fashion sense, glasses of DOOM, a professional, serious persona, a distaste for evil scientists. If only you were a shinigami like myself…
Ran: *cuts in* Shi-ne! *cuts Crawford*
Crawford: *dies*
Ran: My work here is done. *leaves*
Crawford: *reborn as a shinigami, stands up, straightens his tie* You were saying?
26) 1 gets his driver’s license. 14 is his instructor. How do they pass?
Brad Crawford gets his driver’s license, with Ni Jianyi as his instructor. (!) They pass the only way possible… by cheating. *g*
27) 3 finds a secret place outside the city. How does he use it? Who of the other numbers does he tell/let visit?
Aizen finds a secret palace place outside the city. How does he use it? As his lair, of course: every good villain has a lair, it’s where he creates his plans to take over the world. Aizen would tell Muraki and and Ni Jianyi about it - he does need allies to use, then betray win, after all; Schuldig would find out using his telepathy and alert Crawford; Treize would be invited over for dinner and conversation - a potential ally or someone to get rid of quickly; Starrk already works for him, so he knows; and, finally, Aizen would take Shuuhei (and possibly Renji) there against their will for sexy times more personal reasons.
28. 9 goes on a mission and discovers 10 has been undercover as a burlesque dancer, what happens?
Kensei goes on a mission and discovers Hakkai has been undercover as a burlesque dancer. What happens? It turns out Hakkai is working to take down the same bad guys, and the two kick ass together quite well (Kensei resembles Sanzo in many ways, Hakkai decides). It also turns out Hakkai’s vines are very attractive, so when Kensei returns home, he suggests them to Shuuhei as a future tattoo.
