Eventually, I've finished answering those "15 fictional characters" questions. Ask and you shall receive, apparently... I asked for more questions, and I was inundated with the things :D So, thank you to lielabell, _usakeh_, cerebel, _faeriequeen, cookie_simone, lehorin, radon_ and karihan. So, without further ado...
Here are the 15 people:
1. 10th Doctor (Doctor Who)
2. Ianto Jones (Torchwood)
3. Merlin (Merlin)
4. Claude Rains (Heroes)
5. Owen Harper (Torchwood)
6. Adam Monroe (Heroes)
7. Mac (Green Wing)
8. Niki Sanders (Heroes)
9. Guy Secretan (Green Wing)
10. Rose Tyler (Doctor Who)
11. Arthur (Merlin)
12. Captain Jack Harkness (Torchwood)
13. Mohinder Suresh (Heroes)
14. Gwen Cooper (Torchwood)
15. Sylar (Heroes)
From lielabell:
MAC, JACK HARKNESS and GUY SECRETAN are stuck in a exitless room. MAC knows something about SYLAR that JACK wants to know. GUY is secretly sleeping with ROSE, who is JACK's partner. And JACK really, really wants to do MAC and GUY. What happens?
Torchwood have been tipped off about a possible alien sighting in East Hampton. A bit out of their way, but hell, roadtrips are fun, right? Following the trail, the team end up at the local hospital, tracking the alien activity down to a certain staff liaison officer. A valiant attack from said alien lands Jack on the operating table before he has a chance to revive. When he does this, on the table, he undoubtedly shocks the surgical team. However, they're also a rather attractive surgical team, so an orgy is quickly suggested. Caroline is not down with this shit, and makes a quick getaway, leaving Mac and Guy there with a rather horny Captain. She locks the door too, for the comedy factor.
Mac and Guy are also not down with this shit, but sadly for them, they're stuck there now. Mac takes this opportunity to point out that this isn't the first time someone's healed themselves and woken up mid-operation. However, he remembers little about that because when this other man woke up, he somehow managed to throw Mac against a wall and knock him out... he was gone when he came round again. Jack is obviously intrigued - maybe there's someone else like him out there? He pumps Mac for information (take that as you will) but Mac has no more to offer.
Guy, meanwhile, is feeling a little uncomfortable. That London bird he'd had in his bed more than once in the last week? Kept talking about her boyfriend, a painfully charming American Captain with all too perfect teeth. This could quite easily become awkward, Guy thinks. And Guy is really good with awkward situations, so he tells Jack that he's sleeping with his girl.
Jack is down with that shit, and suggests their threesome becomes a foursome. Mac and Guy don't think this is a much better deal. But Jack is Jack and always gets his way, and though the surgeon and anesthetist refuse to ever speak of that day again... they enjoyed it really.
From _usakeh_:
If THE DOCTOR, OWEN HARPER, and ROSE TYLER were in a race, who would win?
Hmmm. They all do quite a bit of the old running. I suppose it depends on the distance. If it was distance/endurance, the Doctor might be tempted to cheat and jump in the TARDIS. 100m sprint, the TARDIS probably wouldn't help much.
Seeing as they all do quite a bit of running, I believe that Rose would sadly lose, being the shortest, and female. Men seem to have more endurance, after all.
Overall, the Doctor would win. Owen's a midget, he's got short legs. And the Doctor has two hearts - that can't be a hindrance.
Could MERLIN and GUY get married? To each other?
This is possibly the most unlikely pairing ever. One's an anesthetist in the 2000s, in your average British hospital. The other's a sorcerer from the time of King Arthur. And even if they did manage to meet through some crazy timey-wimey stuff, I think marriage would be far from the first thing they'd be thinking about. Merlin has not breasts, so Guy wouldn't be interested. And Merlin? He's sickeningly loyal to Arthur, and would probably just be moping about where he'd gone. The only way it would happen is if Merlin cast some sort of love spell, and managed to accept that two men can get married in Guy's time and place. Still, very very unlikely.
Would OWEN have sex with SYLAR?
Owen would have sex with anyone. Whore. And Sylar isn't exactly ugly. He's got the dark hair, pale skin thing going on too... and Owen may just be reminded of a certain teaboy and his super top secret crush on him. So, yes, he would. The question here should be, would Sylar have sex with Owen? And no, no he wouldn't. Owen's not Special, he's just a doctor. An alien-chasing one, yes, but still... no powers. Sylar's not going to be interested, sorry.
With what psychiatric disorder would you diagnose SYLAR, if you had to do so?
Ha. Sylar's a strange one, psychologically. What he does, he could be accused of being a psychopath, but at the same time... he has a moral code. He doesn't go for people unless they're Special, or have wronged him in some way.
If I had to pick something, then, I'd say schizophrenia. He obviously has delusions of grandeur, the belief that he alone is worthy of these powers. And there's definitely an altered perception of reality, too. And extreme swings of emotion.
If THE DOCTOR, IANTO, and MERLIN were locked in a prison cell together, how - if at all - would they escape?
The Doctor has taken Ianto as his new assistant. Their first adventure, they travel back to Arthurian Britain, though the Doctor gets it wrong and they end up a few years too early, when Arthur was still a Prince and Merlin was his servant. They find Merlin, and get him to demonstrate his magic skills. Unfortunately, said demonstration is rather badly timed, and Merlin is found by guards practicing magic. This gets him flung straight into the cells, along with The Doctor and Ianto, labeled accomplices.
However, the sonic screwdriver saves the day! The Doctor gets them easily out of the cell, and then Ianto distracts the guards with offers of coffee whilst the Doctor and Merlin make their getaway. Ianto gets thrown back in the cells, but the Doctor is now able to return to the TARDIS, and rescue his assistant from right under the noses of Uther's guards.
From cerebel:
ADAM, MAC, NIKI and JACK are in an orgy. How does it go?
As with all orgies, Jack was obviously the one who started it. Following the events of the first question, Mac was headhunted to be Torchwood's new doctor after Owen's death. Jack hears tell of yet someone else who can't die, and immediately disappears to America to try and track this person down. Mac is quick to learn that disappearing Jack is not necessarily a good thing, and therefore chases after him. To keep tabs. No jealousy at all. Nuh uh.
Adam is tracked down, and there is much mutual "OMG YOU'RE LIKE ME!" squee. Yes, Adam squees. Jack suggests all sorts of lewd things they could do, but Adam thinks they need a representative from the council of womenfolk. More tracking down ensues, until they find Niki. Both agree that she is a suitable woman, and propositions are made. Niki is not in agreement, but Jessica tells her to shut the hell up and agrees most readily. Mac also thinks Jessica is hot stuff, and so chooses this moment to make his stalking known. Jack believes in the-more-the-merrier, so lo, and orgy is created.
As for the orgy itself? Jessica is shared between Mac and Adam, whilst Jack's happy to do whatever with whoever.
MERLIN and CLAUDE are both on a hike (either together or separately) when the world goes into nuclear holocaust. What happens?
Merlin is on a hike alone, or so he believes. Unknown to him, Claude had a bit of a run-in with Hiro, and ended up in Camelot for his sins. So he's hiking too, only invisible. Following Merlin is better than doing nothing, after all.
Nuclear holocausts are quite difficult to explain Arthurian Britain. However... Merlin's in a mood. Arthur sacked him again, and he can't function without his pretty prince. And with his magical ability still rather unstable, the anger manifests in the most unfortunate of ways.
Unfortunately, Camelot is not well equipped for nuclear meltdown. And so everybody dies. The end.
OWEN and GUY are on a roadtrip when they're attacked by a bear at a gas station. Who wins, them or the bear?
There's some sort of medical convention... somewhere, and since Guy's still banned from driving, he gets a lift with Owen... Owen wouldn't normally offer lifts to strangers, but he's just got a new car and he wants to show it off in all its flashiness. Plus, Guy's a man after his own heart. They can discuss their sexual conquests en route.
Anyway, they stop to fill up Owen's super flash car, and a bear comes wandering down the road and fixes them with its steely stare. Guy would last... 0.2 seconds. He'd scream and flail and try and run, but the bear's faster than him. It's an unfortunate fact that this particular bear has quite the liking for Swiss cuisine.
Owen would last longer, but ultimately the bear would win. Owen would glare at it and pull out his gun and start shooting, which would just make the bear angry. When he realised his shooting tactic wasn't working, Owen'd get in his car and try and drive off. However, in his haste, he's forgotten that the petrol pump is still attached to his car, so he doesn't get very far. The bear slashes through the bodywork of the car with one claw, and it's curtains for Owen, too.
IANTO, ROSE and ARTHUR are involved in a bank robbery. Who does what job? Who's in charge?
Ianto is most definitely the brains of this, and therefore is in charge. He is also the getaway driver, and spends the whole operation sat in his car telling the other two what to do using bluetooth earpieces.
Arthur is the brawn. He's a good fighter, particularly with the sword, and so he goes in first, slaughtering security. It's quick and goes to plan.
Rose is there for speed and agility. She's getting into the vault whilst Arthur does the protecting, using some Torchwood equipment offered up by Ianto to break the combinations and get in. She bags the cash and makes a getaway before security realise what's going on, as obviously they're a little surprised to be being attacked by a man in armour with a sword.
The operation is a huge success.
CLAUDE and MAC decide that ROSE needs to die. Why, and how do they go about it?
Claude does not like Rose Tyler. He meets her in England and she's insistent that he's a doctor of some sort. He tries to inform her that he is most definitely not a doctor, he's just an ordinary bloke who has been fired from his job and now wanders around looking after pigeons. She is been quite adamant that he is this Doctor of hers, and Claude begins to get rather annoyed about all this. When she starts stalking him, despite his invisibility, he decides drastic action must be taken.
He decides to use somebody else to kill her, and the first person he runs across is Mac. Using his invisibility to make sure he's never seen, he talks to Mac, making him believe he's going mad and hearing voices in his head. This voice is telling him he needs to kill a woman, and the more he hears it, the more he falls victim to Claude's plan.
In the end, he calls her into his hospital, saying a family member of hers has been brought in. Once there, he quickly disposes of her with a scalpel to the chest. The voice went away after that.
GUY and GWEN open up a restaurant. What kind is it? What happens when SYLAR walks in the door? When MOHINDER applies for a job on the staff?
This restaurant is half the property of Guy, and therefore it must be Swiss. There is no option. Swiss cuisine is... practically unheard of, but that doesn't matter. Guy's running the place, so Swiss it will be. The woman who advertised for a partner in a restaurant business be damned, this is his operation now. The market is better in America, apparently, so they open their restaurant there.
When Sylar walks in, no drama happens. Neither Guy nor Gwen know the man, and he's only come in for ice cream. Nothing sinister there. He's served, and he becomes a regular with his favourite table in the corner.
The drama starts when Mohinder applies for a waiting job (freelance scientist doesn't pay so well, after all). He gets it, no problems, and then he meets the 'guy who always has the corner table'. Their is an epic showdown, with many culinary implements used in new and inventive torture devices, until Mohinder is finally killed by a menu to the neck at very high velocity.
Guy and Gwen go off the idea of owning a restaurant, get on the first flight home, and go back to their old jobs.
MOHINDER is in love with SYLAR, but SYLAR is too busy stalking THE DOCTOR. What's up with that shit?
Mohinder is in love with Sylar. That bit needs no explanation. It's trufax. It's their fated connection, he just can't deny it any more. It just sucks that as he finally learns to accept this about himself, Sylar finally gets bored of threatening him. He's heard of a man who can both travel through space and time, and can regenerate into a different shape when seriously injured. He wants that power.
It all comes to a head when Sylar finally manages to track down the Doctor, and tries to get at his brain, accidentally triggering a regeneration. The Doctor turns from the gorgeous brilliance of David Tennant into some hideously ugly bloke, and Sylar goes off the whole idea. He doesn't want to risk his own handsomeness. Mohinder takes this opportunity to leap from the shadows and proclaim his undying love. Sylar's down with that, and they go skipping off into the sunset.
NIKI and OWEN have an old west-style shootout. Why, and who wins?
Torchwood are threatening the Linderman Group. Linderman therefore hires his favourite hitgirl to start taking out the team. Owen is unfortunately first on the list. Jessica's in control here, and therefore poor Owen stands little chance. Jessica, and therefore Linderman, is victorious.
From cookie_simone:
What kind of sex would ADAM and MOHINDER have with each other?
Pretty. Because that's what they are.
Adam would find a way out of his grave, and pick Mohinder as his way back into the Company, playing on his new found insanity. Problem being, Adam would find himself forming somewhat of an attraction to Mohinder as he worked through his plan.
Sexually, they would be very equal, I think. Adam's the brains, the manipulative one, but he'd have quite a job making Mohinder submit all the time. Especially S3!Mohinder. Their sex would be a mix of brutality and mind-games.
What would happen if THE DOCTOR and CLAUDE got stuck in an elevator together?
If it was the 9th Doctor, hilarity would ensue. However, even with 10, crack would occur if Claude was visible. He'd make some comment about his past coming back to haunt him, and ask Claude how he copes with those ears of his. Claude, of course, would think the Doctor quite mad, and possibly uses words such as "fantastic", in a sarcastic manner, to summarise their situation. This would not help matters at all, as Claude really is painfully similar to 9 in more ways than just looks.
Of course, if Claude just decided to remain invisible, nothing would happen at all. The Doctor would remain happily oblivious to the presence of the other man.
MAC has a crush on MERLIN, how does MERLIN react to that?
Merlin, much like myself, would wonder how on earth this occurred. Some crazy time travel has to be assumed here, leaving Mac back in Arthurian times, or Merlin in the 00s. That taken for granted, Merlin would probably be flattered. He hasn't got a clue who Mac is, but he'd still be flattered to know he was being crushed on. He'd also be a bit weirded out that this person was a man, but... he's got used to it, from Arthur ;)
GWEN and JACK have to babysit a young child together. How does it go?
Rather adorably. It would be a young niece or nephew of Gwen's, and Jack's offered to help because Rhys is busy that night. Jack would have all sorts of games up his sleeve to keep the child entertained, and Gwen would be on hand when the child had its obligatory temper tantrum/bout of hysterical tears.
There would be an argument over bedtime, with Gwen being insistant they should stick to what the child's parents have agreed, whilst Jack sees no problems in letting the kid stay up late. Gwen would then go off on a spiel about the morality of the situation, and how Jack can't relate to this situation because he's forgotten how to feel, before making puppy-eyes at him and being generally smushy. Because that always seems to be how any Jack/Gwen interaction ends.
IANTO and NIKI decide to go see a musical together. Which musical do they decide to go to?
Niki doesn't strike me as the musical theatre type, at all, so it would be Ianto's choice. Why they're going together is anybody's guess, as one is a Welsh alien catcher and the other is a super-strong American MPD sufferer. Still, they meet and get on and Niki comes over to visit.
Ianto would obviously put a lot of thought into this, like he does with everything. He considers Les Miserables, but decides that's too gloomy. Avenue Q, too crude. In the end, he settles on The Lion King, because everyone knows the story, it's an amazing spectacle on stage, and as Niki's a mum, she's probably hip to Disney in some shape or form (even if Micah doesn't strike me as a Disney kid).
From lehorin:
If CLAUDE and MOHINDER got in fight how many of the emergency services would have to be called?
Before S3 started, I would have said 0. If they did manage to get into a fight (and that would be a skill in itself, with Claude being such a hermit and Mohinder being so proper), emergency services would most definitely not be required. The fight would be purely verbal, maybe going to such extremes as a raised eyebrow or two, and would quickly be settled with handshakes and cups of tea.
However, S3!Mohinder? An ambulance would be required at the end of it all, to deal with Claude's broken body, as he would have been thrown all around the Loft until he stopped trying to get up again.
From RADON_:
MERLIN and MAC go on a hike together (why did they decide to do that?) Midway through they start talking about GWEN, what will they say? GWEN somehow pops up in front of them while MERLIN and MAC talk, how do the latter two react? How does GWEN react? What happens in the end?
Mac has somehow managed to master timetravel, and is the latest recruit to Camelot, obviously helping out with Gaius as he's a doctor and stuff. Gaius sends his two little worker bees off on a hike to get herbs etc. for his stores.
On their hike, Merlin fills Mac in about all the stuff that's happened since he himself arrived in Camelot, in particular this woman who came to sing and made everyone fall asleep, trying to kill Arthur. Considering where Mac's come from, he's not really that surprised. Stranger things, and all that.
Meanwhile, in Cardiff, 2008, Gwen hits something she shouldn't whilst trying to spring-clean the Hub, and gets sent back to the same time as Merlin and Mac, appearing right in front of the two hikers. Gwen and Merlin are both a little surprised, Gwen because it's obvious she's gone shooting back many many centuries and Merlin because, hello, this was the woman who was killed trying to kill Arthur. Only, dressed strangely. Mac, as previously said, expects strange things like this, and therefore is not that concerned.
Merlin and Mac would finally decide to take her back to Camelot with them. She would be put on trial for witchcraft, and either killed or rescued at the last minute by the Doctor, sent by Team Torchwood.
IANTO, ADAM, GUY and JACK are stuck on a boat in the middle of nowhere. How did they get there and how will they get out of their situation?
Jack decides to take Ianto on a cruise, at the same time as Guy decides to take some time off from work and go travelling himself. The three end up on the same boat, which starts it's long journey across the waters to America. Once they're out in the middle of the sea, things start to go wrong, and it soon transpires another passenger is holding the captain hostage and will continue to do so until his demands are listened to.
The passenger calls himself Adam Monroe, and demands the boat changes course, heading to Japan instead of America. He has unfinished business there, and for some reason unbeknownst to everyone, he wasn't going to get on no plane. Guy's happy to accept this, he hears Japanese chicks are hot. Jack tries to be heroic and save the captain, but is foiled and so decides Japan'd be an alright destination. Ianto couldn't care less, so long as the boat got moving again asap.
Who would win in a screaming contest: THE DOCTOR or NIKI?
That'd be quite a close match, I think. The Doctor has spent many, many years in the company of screaming women, so he's probably picked up a few tips. And despite my belief that Niki has a great set of lungs on her, if needs be, she doesn't strike me as a screamer (mind out the gutter). So, through experience alone, the Doctor would win.
What will happen if ARTHUR hooked up with OWEN? How will MERLIN react to it (supposing that MERLIN is seeing ARTHUR)?
No supposing is required. They are obviously shagging. The subtext, it hurts us. Therefore, he would be very pissed off if Arthur dumped him to hook up with yet another time-travelling medic lost in Camelot. Arthur must just have a thing for the older man, and Owen's just, well, easy.
It would all be resolved with magic, though, of course. Merlin'd send Owen flying and fight for his Prince, and Arthur just wouldn't be able to resist, in the end.
NIKI is dead. How/Why?
She died in a fire, trying to rescue Monica and her son's comic book collection. Easy.
Who is MOHINDER a fan of? Why?
His father, once upon a time. Though, fan probably isn't a strong enough word there. More like idol worship. But he's over that, now that he's pwned his dad's research anyway.
Currently? He's a big fan of Maya, sadly but truthfully. She gave him the inspiration to work out the formula, and seems quite content to whore out that 'magnificent body' of hers. He can't argue with that.
From KARIHAN:
ADAM, ARTHUR and GWEN are spending a day at a posh health spa for some pampering. Why is each of them there and what procedures do they have done?
Adam and Arthur are there together. In an unseen extra scene from somewhere in Series 2, Adam and Hiro timetravelled, met Arthur, and became the OT3. However, Arthur was handily forgotten in series canon, but he was there alright. And now he's busted Adam out of his coffin and they're off to a health spa to get Adam re-prettyfied after his buried alive adventures.
Gwen, meanwhile, has checked into the same spa for the day. She's in America on honeymoon with Rhys. He's having a manly day in front of the sports channel or something, whilst she has a girly pampering day.
As for procedures? Adam gets the works - whole body massage and scrub. He needs it. Arthur's just happy to watch that. Gwen probably goes for the back massage, or a stint in the floatation pool. Because, really, they're just fun.
JACK and IANTO are gossiping about CLAUDE. What do they say and how would CLAUDE react if he/she knew?
There's been a problem in Cardiff with invisible aliens, which they defeat in normal homoerotic style. In the aftermath, Jack tells Ianto all about this invisible guy he used to know. He'd never known his real name, but he'd called himself Claude, he knew that much. Also, he had had a remarkable similarity to the 9th Doctor. He doesn't say all that much more, though, because Ianto gets jealous.
If Claude knew about this conversation, he would be both proud that his tryst with Jack was gossip-worthy, and annoyed because WOULD PEOPLE STOP COMPARING HIM TO THIS DOCTOR FELLOW?
ROSE is planning an evening with the intent of seducing ARTHUR. What are the plans and how do they go? In the middle of the proceedings GUY walks in. What is his/her reaction?
Arthur and Adam have a fight, post-spa trip, and Arthur travels back to England. However, his plane gets caught in the Rift, and he ends up in Rose's parallel universe. She's there examining the plane, as it came from the Rift, and she and Arthur become friends quickly. When she decides he's seducing-worthy, she invites him to her place (she's got her own now, she's not still with her mum/dad/sibling). It would be quite classy, Italian cooking and wine and possibly a slushy film.
Meanwhile, in your average hospital, a hapless anesthetist manages to walk through a rift in space and time (with Sue White around, he shouldn't be surprised), and ends up slap bang in the middle of Rose's living room. He would be surprised at first, but gets over it surprisingly quickly (stranger things, after all, happen at East Hampton). Smelling a seduction, he'd get right in on the action. This is Guy, after all.
GWEN and ADAM plan the travel trip of a lifetime together. Where would they go (if they can even agree) and do they travel as friends, lovers or something else? What would happen if they encountered CLAUDE unexpectedly on their journey?
Arthur and Adam's fight was because Adam clapped eyes on Gwen, abandoning Arthur immediately for this figure of beauty stood before him. She and Adam elope on the spot - sorry Rhys - and they end up travelling to New Zealand, as it satisfies both their criteria (Gwen: A long way from here. Adam: Not Japan).
Their encounter with Claude is rather uneventful, as neither have met him or the 9th Doctor. And he'd probably be invisible anyway. They'd just walk into him, be slightly confused at the resistance in what should be open air, and promptly ignore it. As for what Claude's doing in New Zealand? He's trying to hide away from these people who keep putting him in these questions!
MAC and MERLIN sit down for a quiet evening of telly and snacks. What does each want to watch, what do they end up watching, how big is the fight over what they watch and what do they eat?
Merlin has no concept of television, which makes him the best television-watching friend. He's happy with absolutely anything, he's just fascinated by the whole concept. Therefore the decision of an epically long documentary about The Kinks is an easily agreed one. Again, Merlin is happy to let Mac be in charge of snacks, so it's typical TV-watching fare. Pizza, crisps, popcorn. Painfully unhealthy, but hey, Mac's dying anyway. He's not counting his calories. And Merlin needs a bit of fattening up.
From _faeriequeen:
Would you prefer to see OWEN & NIKI doing naked mud wrestling or ROSE & MOHINDER?
Rose and Mohinder. Because that would involve naked Mohinder, and I would have no complaint with that. It would also be hilarious to see who would win, out of those two. With Owen and Niki, it would just be painful to watch. Owen would get his ass handed to him on a plate, poor thing.
What would IANTO's favourite kids' TV show be?
Sesame Street. It was fun, simple and harmless fun for kids, but with educational values. Even as a four year old, I think Ianto would have appreciated the show for being that little bit deeper than your average. A practical program, for a practical kid.
What makes more sense: MAC/ARTHUR or MAC/MERLIN? And which is hotter?
Really, neither make any sense at all, as it would require substantial amounts of time-travelling. However, if for whatever reason Mac found himself in Camelot, I think it would be more likely he'd shack up with Merlin. Mainly because Merlin's working for the doctor, and so he and Mac would be more likely to meet up and make each other's acquaintance. Mac/Arthur, however, would definitely be the hotter of the two. Arthur = hawt stuff.
Would SYLAR still work as a character if they changed gender?
True story... the first thing I ever did when I started RPing Mohinder was have him meet gender!switched Sylar. And I think the character would still work, yes. On a superficial level, I wouldn't want it, because Sylar is hawt, and Sylar/Mohinder is even hawter. I don't want my favourite Heroes pairing be het-ified :( But a woman could be just as scary as Sylar, I think... his masculinity isn't an important part of his character, it's all about his mind.
Here are the 15 people:
1. 10th Doctor (Doctor Who)

From lielabell:
MAC, JACK HARKNESS and GUY SECRETAN are stuck in a exitless room. MAC knows something about SYLAR that JACK wants to know. GUY is secretly sleeping with ROSE, who is JACK's partner. And JACK really, really wants to do MAC and GUY. What happens?
Torchwood have been tipped off about a possible alien sighting in East Hampton. A bit out of their way, but hell, roadtrips are fun, right? Following the trail, the team end up at the local hospital, tracking the alien activity down to a certain staff liaison officer. A valiant attack from said alien lands Jack on the operating table before he has a chance to revive. When he does this, on the table, he undoubtedly shocks the surgical team. However, they're also a rather attractive surgical team, so an orgy is quickly suggested. Caroline is not down with this shit, and makes a quick getaway, leaving Mac and Guy there with a rather horny Captain. She locks the door too, for the comedy factor.
Mac and Guy are also not down with this shit, but sadly for them, they're stuck there now. Mac takes this opportunity to point out that this isn't the first time someone's healed themselves and woken up mid-operation. However, he remembers little about that because when this other man woke up, he somehow managed to throw Mac against a wall and knock him out... he was gone when he came round again. Jack is obviously intrigued - maybe there's someone else like him out there? He pumps Mac for information (take that as you will) but Mac has no more to offer.
Guy, meanwhile, is feeling a little uncomfortable. That London bird he'd had in his bed more than once in the last week? Kept talking about her boyfriend, a painfully charming American Captain with all too perfect teeth. This could quite easily become awkward, Guy thinks. And Guy is really good with awkward situations, so he tells Jack that he's sleeping with his girl.
Jack is down with that shit, and suggests their threesome becomes a foursome. Mac and Guy don't think this is a much better deal. But Jack is Jack and always gets his way, and though the surgeon and anesthetist refuse to ever speak of that day again... they enjoyed it really.
From _usakeh_:
If THE DOCTOR, OWEN HARPER, and ROSE TYLER were in a race, who would win?
Hmmm. They all do quite a bit of the old running. I suppose it depends on the distance. If it was distance/endurance, the Doctor might be tempted to cheat and jump in the TARDIS. 100m sprint, the TARDIS probably wouldn't help much.
Seeing as they all do quite a bit of running, I believe that Rose would sadly lose, being the shortest, and female. Men seem to have more endurance, after all.
Overall, the Doctor would win. Owen's a midget, he's got short legs. And the Doctor has two hearts - that can't be a hindrance.
Could MERLIN and GUY get married? To each other?
This is possibly the most unlikely pairing ever. One's an anesthetist in the 2000s, in your average British hospital. The other's a sorcerer from the time of King Arthur. And even if they did manage to meet through some crazy timey-wimey stuff, I think marriage would be far from the first thing they'd be thinking about. Merlin has not breasts, so Guy wouldn't be interested. And Merlin? He's sickeningly loyal to Arthur, and would probably just be moping about where he'd gone. The only way it would happen is if Merlin cast some sort of love spell, and managed to accept that two men can get married in Guy's time and place. Still, very very unlikely.
Would OWEN have sex with SYLAR?
Owen would have sex with anyone. Whore. And Sylar isn't exactly ugly. He's got the dark hair, pale skin thing going on too... and Owen may just be reminded of a certain teaboy and his super top secret crush on him. So, yes, he would. The question here should be, would Sylar have sex with Owen? And no, no he wouldn't. Owen's not Special, he's just a doctor. An alien-chasing one, yes, but still... no powers. Sylar's not going to be interested, sorry.
With what psychiatric disorder would you diagnose SYLAR, if you had to do so?
Ha. Sylar's a strange one, psychologically. What he does, he could be accused of being a psychopath, but at the same time... he has a moral code. He doesn't go for people unless they're Special, or have wronged him in some way.
If I had to pick something, then, I'd say schizophrenia. He obviously has delusions of grandeur, the belief that he alone is worthy of these powers. And there's definitely an altered perception of reality, too. And extreme swings of emotion.
If THE DOCTOR, IANTO, and MERLIN were locked in a prison cell together, how - if at all - would they escape?
The Doctor has taken Ianto as his new assistant. Their first adventure, they travel back to Arthurian Britain, though the Doctor gets it wrong and they end up a few years too early, when Arthur was still a Prince and Merlin was his servant. They find Merlin, and get him to demonstrate his magic skills. Unfortunately, said demonstration is rather badly timed, and Merlin is found by guards practicing magic. This gets him flung straight into the cells, along with The Doctor and Ianto, labeled accomplices.
However, the sonic screwdriver saves the day! The Doctor gets them easily out of the cell, and then Ianto distracts the guards with offers of coffee whilst the Doctor and Merlin make their getaway. Ianto gets thrown back in the cells, but the Doctor is now able to return to the TARDIS, and rescue his assistant from right under the noses of Uther's guards.
From cerebel:
ADAM, MAC, NIKI and JACK are in an orgy. How does it go?
As with all orgies, Jack was obviously the one who started it. Following the events of the first question, Mac was headhunted to be Torchwood's new doctor after Owen's death. Jack hears tell of yet someone else who can't die, and immediately disappears to America to try and track this person down. Mac is quick to learn that disappearing Jack is not necessarily a good thing, and therefore chases after him. To keep tabs. No jealousy at all. Nuh uh.
Adam is tracked down, and there is much mutual "OMG YOU'RE LIKE ME!" squee. Yes, Adam squees. Jack suggests all sorts of lewd things they could do, but Adam thinks they need a representative from the council of womenfolk. More tracking down ensues, until they find Niki. Both agree that she is a suitable woman, and propositions are made. Niki is not in agreement, but Jessica tells her to shut the hell up and agrees most readily. Mac also thinks Jessica is hot stuff, and so chooses this moment to make his stalking known. Jack believes in the-more-the-merrier, so lo, and orgy is created.
As for the orgy itself? Jessica is shared between Mac and Adam, whilst Jack's happy to do whatever with whoever.
MERLIN and CLAUDE are both on a hike (either together or separately) when the world goes into nuclear holocaust. What happens?
Merlin is on a hike alone, or so he believes. Unknown to him, Claude had a bit of a run-in with Hiro, and ended up in Camelot for his sins. So he's hiking too, only invisible. Following Merlin is better than doing nothing, after all.
Nuclear holocausts are quite difficult to explain Arthurian Britain. However... Merlin's in a mood. Arthur sacked him again, and he can't function without his pretty prince. And with his magical ability still rather unstable, the anger manifests in the most unfortunate of ways.
Unfortunately, Camelot is not well equipped for nuclear meltdown. And so everybody dies. The end.
OWEN and GUY are on a roadtrip when they're attacked by a bear at a gas station. Who wins, them or the bear?
There's some sort of medical convention... somewhere, and since Guy's still banned from driving, he gets a lift with Owen... Owen wouldn't normally offer lifts to strangers, but he's just got a new car and he wants to show it off in all its flashiness. Plus, Guy's a man after his own heart. They can discuss their sexual conquests en route.
Anyway, they stop to fill up Owen's super flash car, and a bear comes wandering down the road and fixes them with its steely stare. Guy would last... 0.2 seconds. He'd scream and flail and try and run, but the bear's faster than him. It's an unfortunate fact that this particular bear has quite the liking for Swiss cuisine.
Owen would last longer, but ultimately the bear would win. Owen would glare at it and pull out his gun and start shooting, which would just make the bear angry. When he realised his shooting tactic wasn't working, Owen'd get in his car and try and drive off. However, in his haste, he's forgotten that the petrol pump is still attached to his car, so he doesn't get very far. The bear slashes through the bodywork of the car with one claw, and it's curtains for Owen, too.
IANTO, ROSE and ARTHUR are involved in a bank robbery. Who does what job? Who's in charge?
Ianto is most definitely the brains of this, and therefore is in charge. He is also the getaway driver, and spends the whole operation sat in his car telling the other two what to do using bluetooth earpieces.
Arthur is the brawn. He's a good fighter, particularly with the sword, and so he goes in first, slaughtering security. It's quick and goes to plan.
Rose is there for speed and agility. She's getting into the vault whilst Arthur does the protecting, using some Torchwood equipment offered up by Ianto to break the combinations and get in. She bags the cash and makes a getaway before security realise what's going on, as obviously they're a little surprised to be being attacked by a man in armour with a sword.
The operation is a huge success.
CLAUDE and MAC decide that ROSE needs to die. Why, and how do they go about it?
Claude does not like Rose Tyler. He meets her in England and she's insistent that he's a doctor of some sort. He tries to inform her that he is most definitely not a doctor, he's just an ordinary bloke who has been fired from his job and now wanders around looking after pigeons. She is been quite adamant that he is this Doctor of hers, and Claude begins to get rather annoyed about all this. When she starts stalking him, despite his invisibility, he decides drastic action must be taken.
He decides to use somebody else to kill her, and the first person he runs across is Mac. Using his invisibility to make sure he's never seen, he talks to Mac, making him believe he's going mad and hearing voices in his head. This voice is telling him he needs to kill a woman, and the more he hears it, the more he falls victim to Claude's plan.
In the end, he calls her into his hospital, saying a family member of hers has been brought in. Once there, he quickly disposes of her with a scalpel to the chest. The voice went away after that.
GUY and GWEN open up a restaurant. What kind is it? What happens when SYLAR walks in the door? When MOHINDER applies for a job on the staff?
This restaurant is half the property of Guy, and therefore it must be Swiss. There is no option. Swiss cuisine is... practically unheard of, but that doesn't matter. Guy's running the place, so Swiss it will be. The woman who advertised for a partner in a restaurant business be damned, this is his operation now. The market is better in America, apparently, so they open their restaurant there.
When Sylar walks in, no drama happens. Neither Guy nor Gwen know the man, and he's only come in for ice cream. Nothing sinister there. He's served, and he becomes a regular with his favourite table in the corner.
The drama starts when Mohinder applies for a waiting job (freelance scientist doesn't pay so well, after all). He gets it, no problems, and then he meets the 'guy who always has the corner table'. Their is an epic showdown, with many culinary implements used in new and inventive torture devices, until Mohinder is finally killed by a menu to the neck at very high velocity.
Guy and Gwen go off the idea of owning a restaurant, get on the first flight home, and go back to their old jobs.
MOHINDER is in love with SYLAR, but SYLAR is too busy stalking THE DOCTOR. What's up with that shit?
Mohinder is in love with Sylar. That bit needs no explanation. It's trufax. It's their fated connection, he just can't deny it any more. It just sucks that as he finally learns to accept this about himself, Sylar finally gets bored of threatening him. He's heard of a man who can both travel through space and time, and can regenerate into a different shape when seriously injured. He wants that power.
It all comes to a head when Sylar finally manages to track down the Doctor, and tries to get at his brain, accidentally triggering a regeneration. The Doctor turns from the gorgeous brilliance of David Tennant into some hideously ugly bloke, and Sylar goes off the whole idea. He doesn't want to risk his own handsomeness. Mohinder takes this opportunity to leap from the shadows and proclaim his undying love. Sylar's down with that, and they go skipping off into the sunset.
NIKI and OWEN have an old west-style shootout. Why, and who wins?
Torchwood are threatening the Linderman Group. Linderman therefore hires his favourite hitgirl to start taking out the team. Owen is unfortunately first on the list. Jessica's in control here, and therefore poor Owen stands little chance. Jessica, and therefore Linderman, is victorious.
From cookie_simone:
What kind of sex would ADAM and MOHINDER have with each other?
Pretty. Because that's what they are.
Adam would find a way out of his grave, and pick Mohinder as his way back into the Company, playing on his new found insanity. Problem being, Adam would find himself forming somewhat of an attraction to Mohinder as he worked through his plan.
Sexually, they would be very equal, I think. Adam's the brains, the manipulative one, but he'd have quite a job making Mohinder submit all the time. Especially S3!Mohinder. Their sex would be a mix of brutality and mind-games.
What would happen if THE DOCTOR and CLAUDE got stuck in an elevator together?
If it was the 9th Doctor, hilarity would ensue. However, even with 10, crack would occur if Claude was visible. He'd make some comment about his past coming back to haunt him, and ask Claude how he copes with those ears of his. Claude, of course, would think the Doctor quite mad, and possibly uses words such as "fantastic", in a sarcastic manner, to summarise their situation. This would not help matters at all, as Claude really is painfully similar to 9 in more ways than just looks.
Of course, if Claude just decided to remain invisible, nothing would happen at all. The Doctor would remain happily oblivious to the presence of the other man.
MAC has a crush on MERLIN, how does MERLIN react to that?
Merlin, much like myself, would wonder how on earth this occurred. Some crazy time travel has to be assumed here, leaving Mac back in Arthurian times, or Merlin in the 00s. That taken for granted, Merlin would probably be flattered. He hasn't got a clue who Mac is, but he'd still be flattered to know he was being crushed on. He'd also be a bit weirded out that this person was a man, but... he's got used to it, from Arthur ;)
GWEN and JACK have to babysit a young child together. How does it go?
Rather adorably. It would be a young niece or nephew of Gwen's, and Jack's offered to help because Rhys is busy that night. Jack would have all sorts of games up his sleeve to keep the child entertained, and Gwen would be on hand when the child had its obligatory temper tantrum/bout of hysterical tears.
There would be an argument over bedtime, with Gwen being insistant they should stick to what the child's parents have agreed, whilst Jack sees no problems in letting the kid stay up late. Gwen would then go off on a spiel about the morality of the situation, and how Jack can't relate to this situation because he's forgotten how to feel, before making puppy-eyes at him and being generally smushy. Because that always seems to be how any Jack/Gwen interaction ends.
IANTO and NIKI decide to go see a musical together. Which musical do they decide to go to?
Niki doesn't strike me as the musical theatre type, at all, so it would be Ianto's choice. Why they're going together is anybody's guess, as one is a Welsh alien catcher and the other is a super-strong American MPD sufferer. Still, they meet and get on and Niki comes over to visit.
Ianto would obviously put a lot of thought into this, like he does with everything. He considers Les Miserables, but decides that's too gloomy. Avenue Q, too crude. In the end, he settles on The Lion King, because everyone knows the story, it's an amazing spectacle on stage, and as Niki's a mum, she's probably hip to Disney in some shape or form (even if Micah doesn't strike me as a Disney kid).
From lehorin:
If CLAUDE and MOHINDER got in fight how many of the emergency services would have to be called?
Before S3 started, I would have said 0. If they did manage to get into a fight (and that would be a skill in itself, with Claude being such a hermit and Mohinder being so proper), emergency services would most definitely not be required. The fight would be purely verbal, maybe going to such extremes as a raised eyebrow or two, and would quickly be settled with handshakes and cups of tea.
However, S3!Mohinder? An ambulance would be required at the end of it all, to deal with Claude's broken body, as he would have been thrown all around the Loft until he stopped trying to get up again.
From RADON_:
MERLIN and MAC go on a hike together (why did they decide to do that?) Midway through they start talking about GWEN, what will they say? GWEN somehow pops up in front of them while MERLIN and MAC talk, how do the latter two react? How does GWEN react? What happens in the end?
Mac has somehow managed to master timetravel, and is the latest recruit to Camelot, obviously helping out with Gaius as he's a doctor and stuff. Gaius sends his two little worker bees off on a hike to get herbs etc. for his stores.
On their hike, Merlin fills Mac in about all the stuff that's happened since he himself arrived in Camelot, in particular this woman who came to sing and made everyone fall asleep, trying to kill Arthur. Considering where Mac's come from, he's not really that surprised. Stranger things, and all that.
Meanwhile, in Cardiff, 2008, Gwen hits something she shouldn't whilst trying to spring-clean the Hub, and gets sent back to the same time as Merlin and Mac, appearing right in front of the two hikers. Gwen and Merlin are both a little surprised, Gwen because it's obvious she's gone shooting back many many centuries and Merlin because, hello, this was the woman who was killed trying to kill Arthur. Only, dressed strangely. Mac, as previously said, expects strange things like this, and therefore is not that concerned.
Merlin and Mac would finally decide to take her back to Camelot with them. She would be put on trial for witchcraft, and either killed or rescued at the last minute by the Doctor, sent by Team Torchwood.
IANTO, ADAM, GUY and JACK are stuck on a boat in the middle of nowhere. How did they get there and how will they get out of their situation?
Jack decides to take Ianto on a cruise, at the same time as Guy decides to take some time off from work and go travelling himself. The three end up on the same boat, which starts it's long journey across the waters to America. Once they're out in the middle of the sea, things start to go wrong, and it soon transpires another passenger is holding the captain hostage and will continue to do so until his demands are listened to.
The passenger calls himself Adam Monroe, and demands the boat changes course, heading to Japan instead of America. He has unfinished business there, and for some reason unbeknownst to everyone, he wasn't going to get on no plane. Guy's happy to accept this, he hears Japanese chicks are hot. Jack tries to be heroic and save the captain, but is foiled and so decides Japan'd be an alright destination. Ianto couldn't care less, so long as the boat got moving again asap.
Who would win in a screaming contest: THE DOCTOR or NIKI?
That'd be quite a close match, I think. The Doctor has spent many, many years in the company of screaming women, so he's probably picked up a few tips. And despite my belief that Niki has a great set of lungs on her, if needs be, she doesn't strike me as a screamer (mind out the gutter). So, through experience alone, the Doctor would win.
What will happen if ARTHUR hooked up with OWEN? How will MERLIN react to it (supposing that MERLIN is seeing ARTHUR)?
No supposing is required. They are obviously shagging. The subtext, it hurts us. Therefore, he would be very pissed off if Arthur dumped him to hook up with yet another time-travelling medic lost in Camelot. Arthur must just have a thing for the older man, and Owen's just, well, easy.
It would all be resolved with magic, though, of course. Merlin'd send Owen flying and fight for his Prince, and Arthur just wouldn't be able to resist, in the end.
NIKI is dead. How/Why?
She died in a fire, trying to rescue Monica and her son's comic book collection. Easy.
Who is MOHINDER a fan of? Why?
His father, once upon a time. Though, fan probably isn't a strong enough word there. More like idol worship. But he's over that, now that he's pwned his dad's research anyway.
Currently? He's a big fan of Maya, sadly but truthfully. She gave him the inspiration to work out the formula, and seems quite content to whore out that 'magnificent body' of hers. He can't argue with that.
From KARIHAN:
ADAM, ARTHUR and GWEN are spending a day at a posh health spa for some pampering. Why is each of them there and what procedures do they have done?
Adam and Arthur are there together. In an unseen extra scene from somewhere in Series 2, Adam and Hiro timetravelled, met Arthur, and became the OT3. However, Arthur was handily forgotten in series canon, but he was there alright. And now he's busted Adam out of his coffin and they're off to a health spa to get Adam re-prettyfied after his buried alive adventures.
Gwen, meanwhile, has checked into the same spa for the day. She's in America on honeymoon with Rhys. He's having a manly day in front of the sports channel or something, whilst she has a girly pampering day.
As for procedures? Adam gets the works - whole body massage and scrub. He needs it. Arthur's just happy to watch that. Gwen probably goes for the back massage, or a stint in the floatation pool. Because, really, they're just fun.
JACK and IANTO are gossiping about CLAUDE. What do they say and how would CLAUDE react if he/she knew?
There's been a problem in Cardiff with invisible aliens, which they defeat in normal homoerotic style. In the aftermath, Jack tells Ianto all about this invisible guy he used to know. He'd never known his real name, but he'd called himself Claude, he knew that much. Also, he had had a remarkable similarity to the 9th Doctor. He doesn't say all that much more, though, because Ianto gets jealous.
If Claude knew about this conversation, he would be both proud that his tryst with Jack was gossip-worthy, and annoyed because WOULD PEOPLE STOP COMPARING HIM TO THIS DOCTOR FELLOW?
ROSE is planning an evening with the intent of seducing ARTHUR. What are the plans and how do they go? In the middle of the proceedings GUY walks in. What is his/her reaction?
Arthur and Adam have a fight, post-spa trip, and Arthur travels back to England. However, his plane gets caught in the Rift, and he ends up in Rose's parallel universe. She's there examining the plane, as it came from the Rift, and she and Arthur become friends quickly. When she decides he's seducing-worthy, she invites him to her place (she's got her own now, she's not still with her mum/dad/sibling). It would be quite classy, Italian cooking and wine and possibly a slushy film.
Meanwhile, in your average hospital, a hapless anesthetist manages to walk through a rift in space and time (with Sue White around, he shouldn't be surprised), and ends up slap bang in the middle of Rose's living room. He would be surprised at first, but gets over it surprisingly quickly (stranger things, after all, happen at East Hampton). Smelling a seduction, he'd get right in on the action. This is Guy, after all.
GWEN and ADAM plan the travel trip of a lifetime together. Where would they go (if they can even agree) and do they travel as friends, lovers or something else? What would happen if they encountered CLAUDE unexpectedly on their journey?
Arthur and Adam's fight was because Adam clapped eyes on Gwen, abandoning Arthur immediately for this figure of beauty stood before him. She and Adam elope on the spot - sorry Rhys - and they end up travelling to New Zealand, as it satisfies both their criteria (Gwen: A long way from here. Adam: Not Japan).
Their encounter with Claude is rather uneventful, as neither have met him or the 9th Doctor. And he'd probably be invisible anyway. They'd just walk into him, be slightly confused at the resistance in what should be open air, and promptly ignore it. As for what Claude's doing in New Zealand? He's trying to hide away from these people who keep putting him in these questions!
MAC and MERLIN sit down for a quiet evening of telly and snacks. What does each want to watch, what do they end up watching, how big is the fight over what they watch and what do they eat?
Merlin has no concept of television, which makes him the best television-watching friend. He's happy with absolutely anything, he's just fascinated by the whole concept. Therefore the decision of an epically long documentary about The Kinks is an easily agreed one. Again, Merlin is happy to let Mac be in charge of snacks, so it's typical TV-watching fare. Pizza, crisps, popcorn. Painfully unhealthy, but hey, Mac's dying anyway. He's not counting his calories. And Merlin needs a bit of fattening up.
From _faeriequeen:
Would you prefer to see OWEN & NIKI doing naked mud wrestling or ROSE & MOHINDER?
Rose and Mohinder. Because that would involve naked Mohinder, and I would have no complaint with that. It would also be hilarious to see who would win, out of those two. With Owen and Niki, it would just be painful to watch. Owen would get his ass handed to him on a plate, poor thing.
What would IANTO's favourite kids' TV show be?
Sesame Street. It was fun, simple and harmless fun for kids, but with educational values. Even as a four year old, I think Ianto would have appreciated the show for being that little bit deeper than your average. A practical program, for a practical kid.
What makes more sense: MAC/ARTHUR or MAC/MERLIN? And which is hotter?
Really, neither make any sense at all, as it would require substantial amounts of time-travelling. However, if for whatever reason Mac found himself in Camelot, I think it would be more likely he'd shack up with Merlin. Mainly because Merlin's working for the doctor, and so he and Mac would be more likely to meet up and make each other's acquaintance. Mac/Arthur, however, would definitely be the hotter of the two. Arthur = hawt stuff.
Would SYLAR still work as a character if they changed gender?
True story... the first thing I ever did when I started RPing Mohinder was have him meet gender!switched Sylar. And I think the character would still work, yes. On a superficial level, I wouldn't want it, because Sylar is hawt, and Sylar/Mohinder is even hawter. I don't want my favourite Heroes pairing be het-ified :( But a woman could be just as scary as Sylar, I think... his masculinity isn't an important part of his character, it's all about his mind.
