twelve_pastels: Methos (2) and Moist von Lipwig (9) are stuck in a cheap hotel in Montreal during an ice storm. What do they do to pass the time, and how do they stay warm?

Those two? I'm afraid my answer is strictly non-lascivious, owing to Moist's engagement to Adora Belle Dearheart, the most frightening woman ever to don stiletto heels. They play games of chance for blankets. Moist knows a lot of cons, but he's dismayed to find out that Methos also knows them all, and then some. Eventually, purely out of practicality, they end up sharing a bed to conserve body heat. And that's all, sorry.

missnyah: Sherlock Holmes (3) is actually a grandchild of the Doctor (12) but by what strange twist of fate or tragic accident?

I'm actually going to cheat just a touch here by going with the Doctor as a whole rather than just one incarnation. Jenny found herself in England in the 1800s, and, while exploring, met and fell in love with one Mr. Holmes. They married, and she had two sons, Mycroft and Sherlock. After her husband's death, she took to the stars again, and neither of her sons ever realized just where their streak of genius came from.

cainangrey: Spike (4), Moist (9), Vimes (8), and Donna (7) are stuck in a room. They must kill one among them. ( who, how and why) and then the person who gives the killing blow must shag, marry, kill the rest.

I'm afraid Spike would be the shortlist of one for whom to kill. Let's say he's early, Big Bad Spike rather than the ensouled version, just for comfort. He gets a stake through the heart from Vimes, who is always willing to do the Necessary, and vampires just bug him. Unfortunately, they're kind of stuck there. If this was pre-Sybil, he might be willing to shag or marry Donna, but I doubt very much that either Moist or Vimes would go in for a shag with the other. Presuming it's pre-Sybil/Adora Belle, Donna might be willing to shag Moist and marry Vimes, however. It gives me a bit of a funny mental picture, as Moist is played by David Tennant in my head.

jack_cole: Gabrielle (1) and Zoe (14), through an accident of SCIENCE, meet Jack Harkness (6). What is this accident, how did it come about, and what are the consequences?

This sounds like a Rift thing. During a particularly active Rift cycle, Gabrielle is pulled in from Ancient Greece and Zoe's pulled in from 500 years in the future and untold light years away. Jack (not to mention the men and some of the women on his team) is frankly thrilled at this invasion of two beautiful, fierce examples of womanhood. However, all good things must come to an end, and they eventually find a way to send the two women back to where they belong.

ffutures: Due to a cruel twist of fate Rose (15) murders one of Gabrielle (1), Jack (6), or Zoe (14), with the others witnessing the crime. Who is killed, and how does 15 keep the others from revealing the guilty secret?

This is obviously all the Doctor's fault, but to get to the point: Rose very accidentally kills Jack (tragic accident with his own pistol, which he should not have let Rose look at while loaded) while they're dealing with whatever's rubbing Ancient Greece and the 26th century together. Fortunately, he gets better and persuades Gabby and Zoe not to tell the Doctor about the embarrassing accident.

londonkds: Jack (6) has to Shag Or Die four of the others. Which ones does he/she try to seduce first?

Believe it or not, londonkds didn't have any clue who 6 was before posting this question. The obvious answer would be, "Whoever's standing nearest." Presuming everyone's the same distance away, though, Jack is a practical sort and does seem to have preferences, no matter how flexible he may be. We can rule out Gaspode, as, unlike some people we could mention, Jack doesn't seem to have a thing for our four-legged friends, especially a small one that canonically smells like a privy carpet. He'd pretty quickly rule out the married folk, too, as he's shown respect for that boundary. Therefore, Vimes and Zoe are out. While he'd want the Doctor, I'm sure, he'd be doubtful about the odds of actually seducing Eleven, and, also, I'm sure he doesn't want the Doctor just as a therapeutic shag. Holmes and Vetinari also tend to give off "will not shag" vibes. Jack might consider that a challenge for a longer game, but if time is of the essence, he's a practical man. We're left with eight potentials: Gabrielle, Methos, Spike, Anya, Donna, Moist, Jayne and Rose. If this is post-Adora Belle, Moist would likely make his disinterest known immediately.

So, that leaves us with seven--four women and three men. I think Jack would approach Rose first, all other things being equal. He cared about her deeply, and certainly wouldn't want to place any pressure on her; thus, I doubt he'd tell her of his Shag-or-Die condition. If she were to refuse for whatever reason, I think he'd size up the strongest prospects as being Methos, Spike, Anya and Donna. Gabrielle might be pining for her warrior woman, and Jayne mightn't take too well to implications he might be sly (though I wouldn't say this for certain; someone once wrote a really convincing story about Jayne and some boy-whores). He knows Donna wants him, and once he got over the fit of bad taste he indulged in JE, he'd appreciate her. We know Spike is just his type *cough*, and I'm pretty sure Methos (ancient, enigmatic, kind of annoying) is just his type, too. Anya's a girl who proudly enjoys sex, which would attract him. Overall, I'm fairly certain he could get his four shags and one to spare out of this group.

I'll finish up the rest tomorrow. This is fun!
