Q: Characters 4, 9 & 10 are at an arcade. What game do they choose to play, and who wins? (Aktar, Irwin, Hector)
A: Hide the sausage. Aktar wins, because he’s the one with the Tudor Economic Documents, Vol II.
Q: Make up an e-mail address for 6. (Lockwood)
A: theunknownwarrior (at) mod (dot) uk
Q: If 8 had an iPod, what kind of songs would you find on it? (Timms)
A: OY. Probably equal parts 80s rock and showtunes. Cause that’s how I think Timms rolls.
Q. What would you do if 9 suddenly paid you a visit? (Irwin)
A: Die. And then tell him that, should he suggest we go out for a drink, I’d be inclined to accept. Now, next week.... whenever.
Q: Do you think 6 and 4 are made for each other? (Aktar, Lockwood)
A: ZOMG YESSSSSSSSS
Q: 1 challenges 3 to a no-holds-barred duel. Who will win and how? (Dakin, Posner)
A: Dakin, HANDS DOWN. Posner’d be too busy staring. Unless it was dueling pianos. But then, Dakin might still win, because I think Scripps might go over to the other side.
Q: 7, 2 and 1 order a pizza. What toppings does each one request and what do the others think of the choices? (Rudge, Scripps, Dakin)
A: Dakin’d be like all specific about what he wants, and Scripps would mock something (“Sausage? Did someone mention Irwin?"), and Rudge would sit there on the couch with his arms crossed, seriously not giving a shit.
Q: What subject would 1 teach if he/she was a teacher/professor? (Dakin)
A: The Art of Seduction
Q: 5 and 10 go on their first date. Where would they go and what would they do? (Crowther, Hector)
A: [wait, I have to stop laughing first] Ummm..... Hector would probably suggest some place where they could just go and talk (taking them both there on his motorbike, of course!). Crowther would go and not say anything, just sit there slouched in his chair, stealing glances at his watch while Hector talked. You see, Crowther only accepted because it was his turn. Pass the parcel, kids; that’s the lesson here.
Q: 8 sings karaoke and dedicates a song to 7. What song do they dedicate and why? (Timms, Rudge)
A: idk... it’d be some classic pop standard so that Timms could sing in a falsetto. What ever it would be, the intent would be to make Rudge laugh. “Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye”????
Q: How would 8 court 6? (Timms, Lockwood)
A: By writing really really bad poetry. He can’t help it. It just flows out of him, you know, ~brims~ over....
Q: In your list, who do you think is the perfect match for 3 and why? (Posner)
A: Dakin, all the way. Because I am the eternal optimist. And cause a part of me is Posner.
Q: 2 has a dream where 10 tells him/her to save 1, who is facing certain doom. What would 2 do? (Scripps, Hector, Dakin)
A: [LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL i swear i did not stack the deck here] I assume we mean when Scripps woke up? Keep that shit to himself. And pray.
.... but definitely not wank.
Q: 8 is dared by 4 to strip while pole dancing in front of 7. Write a short dialogue about this. (Timms, Aktar, Rudge)
A: It was end of term, they’d all gotten into the colleges they’d wanted, and everyone at the party was pissed. Well, everyone except Rudge, because he’d snuck out early. Time to push the boat out, Aktar thought.
.... ok, losing interest in the dialogue. Atkar would ask, and then Timms would prolly re-enact a scene from Showgirls. Or seduce Rudge in French, as a prostitute. Using the subjunctive.
Q: If you had a chance to rewrite 1’s life, how would you change it? (Dakin)
A: He would have that drink with Irwin.
From L to R: Rudge, Crowther, Timms, Lockwood, Dakin, Posner, Scripps, Aktar.
