1. The Doctor (Ten)
2. The Doctor (Nine)
3. Martha Jones
4. Rose Tyler
5. Sarah Jane
6. The Master
7. Owen Harper
8. Captain Jack Harkness
9. Toshiko Sato
10. Mickey Smith
Here come the questions:
1. Characters 4, 9 and 10 (Rose, Tosh, Mickey) are at an arcade. What game do they choose to play, and who wins?
They play Space Invaders, and Mickey wins in a close bout with Tosh.
2. Make up an e-mail address for 6. (The Master)
saxonwins@gov.uk
3. If 8 (Jack) had an iPod or some kind of music player, what kinds of songs would you find in it?
Oh wow. He'd have a varied collection, with favorites from the 40s and 50s swing bands.
4. What would you do if 9 suddenly paid you a visit?(Tosh)
After ""SQUEEING" I'd probably talk tech with her. She'd out-geek me in a heartbeat, but I'd love to learn from her. Then I'd have a heart-to-heart with her about her love-life - that she needs to step it up with Owen so she knows where she stands, and can move on.
5. Do you think 6 and 4 are made for each other? (The Master & Rose)
Not in the least. Rose would never fall for the meglomania that encompasses the Master. Yes, she loves a Time Lord, just not THIS Time Lord.
6. 1 challenges 3 to a no-holds-barred duel. Who will win and how? (Ten, Marth)
Ten would never challenge Martha like that, unless it was a chess duel. And he'd win, but Martha would put up a good fight.
7. 7, 2 and 1 order a pizza. What toppings does each one request, and what do the others think of the choices? (Owen, Nine, Ten)
Owen wants all the meats. Nine says that's good with him, but could we maybe have some veg on there, too? Owen thinks that's a pansy move. Ten steps in, saying they should just get the works from this little place in Sicily, it has the best crust in time and that the cheese is just brilliant. Nine and Owen tell him to shut up.
8. What subject would 1 teach if s/he were a teacher/professor? (Ten)
The Moral Implications of being a Time Lord.
9. 5 and 10 go on their first date. Where would they go, and what would they do? (Sarah Jane and Mickey.)
Oh my. This must be a set-up, because no way would Sarah Jane put up with most of Mickey's shit. Mickey would take her to his favorite fish 'n' chip place, which Sarah Jane would like, but not without some comments about the cleanliness (or lack thereof) of the place. Then it would be off to the pub for a few pints, where Sarah Jane ends up drinking Mickey under the table.
10. 8 sings karaoke and dedicates a song to 7. What song would s/he dedicate and why? (Jack, Owen)
You Belong to Me, because everyone belongs to Jack :D
11. How would 8 court 6? (Jack, The Master)
What a pairing! Jack doesn't necessarily court, though, does he? Jack would try to show off for the Master, showing all the different ways he doesn't die. The Master would be intrigued by that.
12. Describe the relationship between 2 and 8 in the canon. Would you change it? Why? (Nine, Jack)
Jack loves Nine, more than anyone else in his life (other than maybe Ten, but more he loves The Doctor, not a particular incarnation of him). Loving the Doctor helps Jack stay human, I think. How Nine feels about Jack is a bit more complicated - there's some jealousy there, because Jack also loves "his" Rose, but in the end, I think the Doctor loves Jack, too - just not as deeply as Jack loves the Doctor.
I don't think I'd changed it. It's very complicated and nuanced, and I like that.
13. In your list, who do you think is the perfect match for 3 and why? (Martha)
Perfect match? None of the above. She loves Ten, but knows that he can never love her the same way, so she (wisely) moves on, no matter how much it hurts. Maybe if she had met Nine before he met Rose? No, I don't think so. I don't think the Doctor can love a human in the same way a human can love him (no matter how Journey's End plays out). Owen Harper might be the best match. He's also a doctor, so he'd understand her hectic work schedule. The two of them could banter pretty well.
14. 2 has a dream where 10 tells him/her to save 1, who is facing certain doom. What would 2 do? (Nine, Mickey, Ten.)
Nine has a dream where Mickey tells him to save Ten? How would that work, even? Anyway. Nine would be annoyed that it was Mickey delivering this message, because he was always annoyed with Mickey (how much of that was jealousy, I don't know). And then Nine would get on with the business of saving Ten, without making his presence known so as not to screw up the timeline.
15. 9 (Tosh) and 6 (The Master) are about to get married, until 3 (Martha) crashes their wedding and abducts 9 (Tosh) against his/her will. 6 (The Master) follows them, but must forge an uneasy alliance with his/her archrival, 1 (Ten).
Tosh has obviously been brainwashed by the Master, and Martha is the only human who can see it. She abducts Tosh for her own good. But little does she know that Tosh is what is keeping the Master from taking over the world, so Ten has to "sacrifice" Tosh for the good of the world.
16. 8 receives a gift from 9. Does s/he open it or not? If so, what is inside? (Jack, Tosh)
Of course he opens it. It's from Tosh. It's a new coat, exactly like the one that was just destroyed beyond repair in his last mission, because she's sweet that way.
17. 4 is walking home when s/he sees a cute fluffy creature, which promptly begins rubbing itself against his/her legs. Will s/he kick it away, or take it home? (Rose)
Of course she takes it home. And names it "Doctor."
18. 8 (Jack) is dared by 4 (Rose) to strip while pole-dancing in front of 7 (Owen). Write a short dialogue about this.
Would there need to be a dare?
"C'mon, Jack, let 'im see your moves."
"Alright, darling."
"But I don't WANT to see his moves."
19. What smiley/emoticon would best describe 5? (Sarah Jane)
:S
20. If you had the chance to rewrite 1’s life, how would you change it? (Ten)
Oh difficult, as I haven't watched EoT yet (it's on the DVR!). I think Ten has had a pretty good run, actually. There's nothing I would change up to EoT - him parting with Rose was necessary (eventually he wouldn't love her as much as she loved him, because that is his nature), him distancing himself from Jack is also necessary (again, I don't think the love could ever be equal, with the Doctor not being able to love Jack the way he would need to be loved). That said, I get to reserve judgement for whether I'd change how he handles things in EoT.
