01. Abigail Sciuto (NCIS)
02. Anthony DiNozzo (NCIS)
03. James "Sawyer" Ford (Lost)
04. Dr. Gaius Baltar (Battlestar Gallactica)
05. Willow Rosenberg (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
06. Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
07. Dr. Gregory House (House)
08. Dr. James Wilson (House)
09. Ares (Xena: Warrior Princess)
10. Callisto (Xena: Warrior Princess)
11. Demona (Gargoyles)
12. Dr. Gilbert Grissom (CSI)
1. Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11? What subjects would they teach? (Spike or Demona)
Good Lord Almighty. Well, they're both certainly old enough to teach some sort of History...hmm. I guess in the end Spike's way too anti-establishment to possibly stand for being made into a college professer, so I'm going with Demona here. She'd make an awesome Business or Economics professer, considering she built the massive Nightstone corporation up from raw assets in just a year or so.
2. Do you think 4 is hot? How hot? (Baltar)
Eh. Well, I've seen more unfortunate-looking people, and while his intellect can be kind of attractive at times (not to mention his accent), his personality is just too much of a turnoff for me.
3. 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed? (Grissom, Wilson)
Needing a diagnostics expert as a consult for a baffling case and unable to get one Dr. House to cooperate, Grissom calls on Wilson to, er, "persuade" him. House finally agrees, but snidely tells Wilson afterwards he'd already decided to help and was just holding out to see what he could get.
4. What is or would be 9's favorite book? (Ares)
The Art of War. 5. Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around? (DiNozzo, Spike)
Um. Well, given Tony's history of "man-crushes", I guess I could see him winding up in giddy awe of Spike's sheer badassery. Ain't no way it could work the other way around at least, since Spike would probably think of Tony as a dork or a tool. Kind of like an older Xander, in a way.
6. For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should s/he share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10? (Willow, Ares or Callisto)
Gender issues aside? As much as I love Ares I get the feeling he'd make a lousy roommate. Loud, no respect for other people's property, tracking in mud everywhere, leaving beer bottles lying around, hogging the couch with the TV volume on Wrestlemania all the way up...plus you just know the whole lesbian thing wouldn't stop him from trying to flirt Willow up. Her overabundance of crazy aside, I can totally see Callisto and Willow bonding over some stuff. Willow could teach her how to focus her fireball energy, Callisto could teach her how to accesorize with leather...
7. 2, 7 and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss? (DiNozzo, House, Grissom)
Tony and House combine forces to somehow wrangle Grissom into taking them to a really good steakhouse. Then they spend all night observing other people and coming up with their Sherlock Holmes-esque determinations about them.
8. 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens? (Sawyer, Callisto)
Sawyer smirks and fires a warning shot over her head. Callisto yawns, bats her eyes, and totally blows up his gun with a well-aimed blast. Cut to Sawyer running as fast as he possibly can through the jungle as Callisto lazily walks after him, launching a fireball here and there. At some point Jack shows up, rolling his eyes, to save his dumb boyfriend's ass.
9. If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would he get it back? (Abby, Wilson)
Wilson would ask her nicely and try to appeal to her sensibilities. When this does no good, he tries to get all authoritative and threatens to report her to her boss. Abby smiles and points him in Gibbs' direction. A very frightened Wilson comes back a couple minutes later and moves up to begging. Finally, one trip to the nearest convenience store later, Abby happily slurps a Caff-Pow as Wilson unties a grumpy House from her lab chair.
10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire. (House, Grissom)
The Scientific Method.
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together? (Baltar, Abby)
BSG AU set before Baltar became Vice President, with Abby as his baffling and eccentric new lab assistant, a possible Cylon in disguise.
12. If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along? (House)
Well I doubt he'd like me very much on general princible, but I'd probably find him very amusing. I'd just hang around in the background and watch him be all snarky with my suitemates. If he got too annoying, I could always tie him to a chair and make him read bad and/or cracktastic Housefic.
13. If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be? (Sawyer)
Guh. It would involve either Kate, Jack, or possibly Sayid...or maybe the phrase "island orgy" would somehow be involved. Along with "webcam".
14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11? (Demona)
I know
shinga has at least one or two sketches of her in her
deviantART account, and I got
machi_neko to draw her once for me. But I don't know of anyone writing for her, unless ya'll are keeping secrets from me.
15. If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be? (DiNozzo, Baltar or Willow)
Oh, come on. Tony wouldn't even need his NCIS Special Agent skills to tell him Baltar's the twitchiest human being alive. And as for the alternative? Hellooo, hot lesbian Wiccan co-ed...
16. What might 10 shout while charging into battle? (Callisto)
Callisto's not much for the war cry...more for the calmly strolling in and blowing shit up. Maybe she'd imitate Xena's war-cry if she was feeling particularly glib.
17. If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose? (Wilson)
I hate to do this, since I'm more or less stealing directly from the clever people over at
house_music, but ever since someone brought it up there "Mr. Blue Sky" by ELO has been the definitive Wilson song for me.
18. 1, 6, and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it? (Abby, Spike, Grissom)
Grissom backs down politely right away. Spike grumps that it's his "soddin' pancake". Abby says something glib with a sweet smile on her face, causing Spike to freeze mid-reach. While he stutters flusteredly, she reaches out and snatches it up.
19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10? (DiNozzo, Callisto)
Oh, lord. Between the blonde hair, the leather, and the "goddess" puns, there's too many possibilities to even start. I can tell you this much: it ends with Tony running, Callisto glaring after him, and McGee frantically searching for a fire extinguisher to put out the firey desk.
20. What would 5 most likely be arrested for? (Willow)
If we're talking magic addict-Willow, or post-"Dark Willow" Wiccan goddess-Willow, there's quite the list. If not? Uh, computer hacking.
21. What is 6's secret? (Spike)
His human past. I think, with the exception of the other "foursome" members, no one in his universe is the slightest bit aware that he used to be a sniveling fop that wrote godawful purple prose.
22. If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first? (Demona, Ares)
I'm actually kind of torn here. I mean, Ares could just freakin' teleport there, but Demona...she's just so determined, I find it hard to picture her losing even to that. Maybe Ares gets distracted by a war somewhere, or by Xena. And Demona totally pwns his ass, cus she can't die either.
24. "1 (Abby) and 9 (Ares) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's (Baltar) sinister secret organization. 11 (Demona) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that 11 (Demona) is actually a spy for 4 (Baltar) . Meanwhile, 4 (Baltar) has kidnapped 12 (Grissom) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Willow) , they seek out 3 (Sawyer) , 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.
...Hey, what happened to #23? Well anyway, I'd call this one Cognitive Dissidence. I'm not sure who'd read it, since it crosses over so many smaller fandoms, but I think either
ficangel or
m_butterfly should write it, since they're both gods and I've seen them handle seemingly random crossovers before with much awe-inspiring skill.
25. If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8? (House or Wilson)
I'm tempted to say Wilson, since he can actually walk and/or run. But then again, for some reason I can more easily see House beating somebody up (with his cane, duh) than I can Wilson, who would probably just cower.
Oh, and uh, Happy April Fools. If you're looking for funny, go somewhere else, cus today it's not here.
*is lame and boring*
