1) Who would make a better college professor, 6 [Saul Tigh] or 11 [Susan Ivanova]?
*blinks* Ummm… Ok, Tigh would be either loved or hated, no in betweens for this man! I mean seriously, the man would probably ride your ass so damn hard that you probably have to make a deal with the devil to make an ‘A’ and most of the class would fail or drop the class. He’s ass, who’s bull-headed and doesn’t like even like being in charge. Hell, he’d probably just turn the teaching over to some student as long as he liked them… And that’s not even likely… Oh, and the likelihood that he wouldn’t show up to class drunk is pretty damn slim.
Now Susan… She’d be a tough-nose bitch, who you might hate but you’d respect the hell out of her. She would command your attention and you’d learn a ton from her, but she would definitely be one of those profs who grades hard and expects excellence…
2) Do you think 4 [Jethro Gibbs] is hot?
Is the sky blue? YES!!! GOD IN HEAVEN, YES!!!
3) 12 [Helen Magnus] sends 8 [Rupert Giles] on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Oh my, this is actually warranting a fic…
But yeah:
“Rupert, I need you to persuade John [Druitt] to tell us what he knows. He’s always liked you for… Obvious reasons.”
And then Giles and John would duke it out until they were bloody and in a man-heap of leather on the ground. John would laugh and say, “You know Rip, ol’boy, you’re alright. What does Helen need to know again?”
4) What is or would be 9's [Eli Wallace] favorite book?
Damn, he’s such a new character for me… But knowing that he is likely a hacker, or at least someone who could, and that he is “afraid” of the military, my candidate for his favorite book is 1984. That or Fight Club, because he is such a fanboy!
5) Would it make more sense for 2 [John Sheridan] to swear fealty to 6 [Saul Tigh], or the other way around?
*roll eyes* John is such a strong personality oozing with charisma, which would have Tigh worshipping the ground that John walks on if he could! And now, the slash has come to mind and won’t leave…
6) For some reason, 5 [Joe Dubois] is looking for a roommate. Should s/he share a studio apartment with 9 [Eli Wallace] or with 10 [Sam Carter]?
Eli and Joe could live together because both of them are laid back and nice, but I think they would rarely hang out or talk. They just don’t seem to have much in common beside being intelligent.
But OMG, Sam and Joe living together would be amazing! He’s an aerospace engineer and she’s an astrophysicist… I think they would get along famously and would be able to talk to each other and help one another without getting confused. Plus, when Sam forgets to eat or sleep, Joe would remind her and when he suddenly becomes self-depraving, she would find ways to show him how awesome he is!
7) 2 [John Sheridan], 7 [John Druitt], and 12 [Helen Magnus] have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
I think they would so go to a pub/bar. Somewhere where Druitt can shark the pool tables and Sheridan and Helen can talk at one of the tables. Helen and Sheridan would discuss everything from politics to Abnormals, though watch out if Druitt joined! Helen and him would never be able to agree and Sheridan would be stuck in the middle as mediator. Finally, the night would end with Druitt getting thrown out for causing a fight and Helen and Sheridan reluctantly leaving with him.
Also, keeping both John’s straight would be hard for Helen because if she’s friends with Sheridan, she’ll call him John… She’d HAVE to call them by their last names and I think that would be hard for her - to cold and impersonal.
8) 3 [Snape] challenges 10 [Sam Carter] to a duel. What happens?
Option A:
“Sam would arch an eyebrow and ask, “With magic?”
“Would hardly be fair considering that you are a muggle…”
Eyeing him for a moment, Sam would just turn around and start walking away. Of course, this doesn’t set to well with Snape and he reaches out for her only to fin himself suddenly on his back severely winded. Sam would smile down at him and ask, “Is that enough or do you want to continue?”
Option B:
Sam would arch an eyebrow and ask, “With magic?”
“Would hardly be fair considering that you are a muggle… How about a test of logic?”
Sam would smile and then agree.
Two days later, they would have to call a truce; they’re both just too damn smart.
9) If 1 [Jack O’Neill] stole 8's [Giles] most precious possession, how would s/he get it back?
Jack walked into the house, slamming the door behind him and quickly made his way over to the fridge to take out a beer. Hearing him walk in, Sam walked into the kitchen and found him angrily chugging down his beer, dirty and disheveled. His hair was sticking up in all directions and was uneven in spots, his clothes were singed gray and pocked marked with burns, not to mention that smoke was still rolling off of him.
“What happened to you?”
He glared at her. “Your old professor, Giles, just threw a fire bomb at me for taking HIS Buffy out shopping for weapons!!!”
She would blink at him for a moment before proceeding to laugh her ass off at his pissed-oof and confused face.
10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 [John Druitt] and 12 [Helen] both attain what they most desire.
*blinks and then laughs*
Airing Bloodied Laundry. . . Actually, I think it would be Rewriting History, though, this has probably been written.
11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 [Gibbs] and 1 [Jack O’Neill] to work together?
*snort* The image of them in the same room is only a guilty pleasure I often indulge in.
A marine is found dead in D.C. with strange scar tissues on the back of the neck and a strange tumor wrap around spinal cord. Before Ducky can confirm what the tumor is, Homeworld Security is forced to intervene and stops the autopsy and takes over the investigation. Gibbs being Gibbs doesn’t take their explanation very well and pull some strings to get a meeting Jack.
12) If 7 [John Druitt] visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
For the first day it would be awkward. I’d be so attracted to his mysterious, bad boy image and he just would lurk in the shadows, scaring the shit out of me as he “popped” in and out of rooms. But then by day two he would “pop” in while I was in the middle of an extremely dirty joke with friends and he would just start laughing at how inappropriate for a young woman to know of such things. After that, I think we would get along famously; just have to break the ice.
13) If you could command 3 [Snape] to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
*closes eyes and takes a calming breath* You guys have no idea what images just assaulted me… Or maybe you do…
Honestly, I’d go back in time and tell him, “FORGIVE HER, YOU TWIT!!!”
14) Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11 [Susan Ivanova]?
Sort of, she hasn’t done it in a LONG time but she probably would if I begged enough.
15) If 2 [John Sheridan] had to choose sides between 4 [Gibbs] and 5 [Joe Dubois], which would it be?
*SNORT* Honestly, John would say to hell with either one and make up his own side. He doesn’t like picking sides and prefers to make up his own mind which is usually entirely different from the first two.
16) What might 10 [Sam Carter] shout while charging into battle?
She wouldn’t be yelling, but I do think that something along the lines of this would run through her mind: ‘Well, if I die, at least my last image will be of the Colonel’s butt. He really does have a nice one; definitely one to be behind while charging into a battle that could most likely get me killed.’
17) If you chose a song to represent 8 [Giles], which song would you choose?
‘Cable Car (Over My head)’ by The Fray, it just reminds me of Giles and his relationship with Buffy and somewhat of his relationship with the Scoobie-gang.
18) 1 [Jack O’Neill], 6 [Saul Tigh] and 12 [Helen Magnus] are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant.
Tigh would be hitting on the cute waitress while ordering cheap beer. Jack would be utterly infatuated with Helen while she thinks he’s alarmingly charming and a complete dork. By the end of the evening, Helen is helping Jack carry out a drunken Tigh into a taxi and gives Jack her personal number in case he wants to ever talk. Jack accepts it and makes sure that Helen has a ride before sliding in taking his friend home to his wife.
19) What might be a good pick-up line for 2 [John Sheridan] to use on 10 [Sam Carter]?
Sam looks up to find a very good looking man at her side, with a jaw line that looks like it should belong on some Greek stature more than a flesh and blood man. She blinks as he points to some kind of clear drink that the bartended has laid in front of him. Looking back at him, she notes the blush that creeps over his golden skin and nervous smile on his face.
“Um hi, my name’s John.”
She reaches out to shake his hand and when he pulls back, he knocks over his drink. They next few moments cleaning the drink up from the bar counter and when he finally looks back at her, she can tell he’s about to run off. Through her sudden giggles because honestly, no man this gorgeous should be nervous around women, she says, “My name’s Sam.”
20) What would 5 [Joe Dubois] most likely be arrested for?
Beating the shit out of anyone who caused harm to his family.
21) What is 6's [Saul Tigh]’s secret?
How much he cares for the crew under his command. He may treat them like crap, especially Kara, but he’ll stick up for you and save your ass when you need him to. Also, how much he actually loves Kara, not as a lover but as a daughter.
22) If 11 [Susan Ivanova] and 9 [Eli Wallace] were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Susan, on so many levels! She’s more athletic and she’s a pilot.
Though if they were playing a video game Eli would win because he would have all the cheats!
23) 3 [Snape] and 7 [John Druitt] tell conflicting versions of events. Which is more reliable?
*blinks* THEY’RE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME CHARACTER!!!
Ok, I would probably go with Druitt… Just because Snape is a double-agent and it’s hard to know if he’s fucking with you or not. Druitt just seems like the type of guy to fuck with you by not fucking with you!
24) "1 [Jack O’Neill] and 9 [Eli Wallace] reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's [Gibb]'s sinister secret organization. 11 [Susan Ivanova] volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that 11 [Susan] is actually a spy for 4 [Gibbs]. Meanwhile, 4 [Susan Ivanova] has kidnapped 12 [Helen Magnus], in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 [Joe Dubois], they seek out 3 [Snape], who gives them what they need to complete their quest."
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?
*blinks* WHAT?! That is the crackiest thing I have ever heard of! …. And sadly, something I would come up with and probably would write (AND NO, KATIE - I WILL NOT! LOL!) if I felt that cracky.
Any-hoo, I’d probably name it: Double-agents, Stargates, and Potions Making, Oh My!
Y’know, just to point out the further crackiness of it…
Sadly *facepalm*, most of my flist WOULD read this just because of the amount of crack that’s going on with the fandoms… Y’all know you would!!!
25) If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 [John Druitt] or 8 [Giles]?
WHY DO THE RIPPERS KEEP POPING UP TOGETHER???!!!
Honestly, this is hard… Giles survived the mean streets of the seedier sides of London in the 70’s where he earned the name ‘Ripper’, and yet, Druitt is THE Ripper and well, made London’s east side that more dangerous in the late 1800’s.
But yeah, I’d guess I’d feel more safe with Giles just because I’d probably be afraid of Druitt turning into ‘Jack’ and then I’d be dead… Then again, he was walking me home, he probably just teleport me home.
