character meme
Ganked from madly_love ... this turned out SO well without any premeditation on my part (I made the list before I read any of the questions and I kept giggling as I wrote mine)
Choose 10 characters and answer the questions that follow. No peeking until your list is done!
1) Will Zimmerman (Sanctuary)
2) Helen Magnus (Sanctuary)
3) James Watson (Sanctuary)
4) Blair Sandburg (Sentinel)
5) Sam Carter (Stargate: SG-1)
6) Jonas Quinn (Stargate: SG-1)
7) Wendy Watson (The Middleman)
8) Noser (The Middleman)
9) Harry Dresden (The Dresden Files)
10) Zin (Tracker)
Q: Characters 4, 9 & 10 are at an arcade. What game do they choose to play, and who wins?
They’d never decide on a game because Zin would all be about war games and Blair wouldn’t be having any of that. Which is moot since the presence of Harry Dresden means none of the machines would work anyhow.
Q: Make up an e-mail address for 6.
first_addy_ever_squee@af.mil
Q: If 8 had an iPod, what kind of songs would you find on it?
It’s Noser. There’s no kind of music you wouldn’t find on his iPod. Except that he’d never have an iPod because he much prefers the social policies of Fatboy Industries and who owns a uMaster and then goes back to an iPod?
Q: What would you do if 9 suddenly paid you a visit?
Barricade myself in the apartment and pray I was stocked up on ammo and protective wards. Where Harry Dresden goes, trouble is sure to follow.
Q: Do you think 6 and 4 are made for each other?
Erm, I know Blair’s easy to slash but I’m fairly sure he’d be so fascinated with the chance to study a person from an alien culture that his mind wouldn’t even go there. But in terms of satisfying a great deal of mutual cultural curiousity? WIN!!!
Q: 1 challenges 3 to a no-holds-barred duel. Who will win and how?
Watson. Will would be too busy standing in awe of his skills with his fist, feet, and various weapons to remember to duck.
Q: 7, 2 and 1 order a pizza. What toppings does each one request and what do the others think of the choices?
Will and Wendy would both be behind something with lots of meat and grease and Magnus would mutter darkly about how she could hear their arteries hardening just thinking of that option. She’s suggest something with soy cheese which would make Wendy think of her bff Lacey and would once more remind Will that his boss is certifiable.
Q: What subject would 1 teach if he/she was a teacher/professor?
*glances sideways at Will* I’m going to go out on a limb and say Psychology...
Q: 5 and 10 go on their first date. Where would they go and what would they do?
Well, they at least have a common background in physics to fuel the conversation. Until they realize that Zin is an evil alien intent on taking over the galaxy and that Carter is a soldier dedicated to stopping evil aliens from taking over the galaxy. At that point, I foresee a lot of fairly uncomfortable silence.
Q: 8 sings karaoke and dedicates a song to 7. What song do they dedicate and why?
“You Get Me” by Michelle Branch since Wendy truly is the only woman who gets Noser :)
Q: How would 8 court 6?
It’s Noser so there’d be plenty of serenades involved
Q: In your list, who do you think is the perfect match for 3 and why?
Well, I personally slash Watson with Will already so there’s that. Magnus would be good for him, too, given their shared history.
Q: 2 has a dream where 10 tells him/her to save 1, who is facing certain doom. What would 2 do?
Well, first she’d do brain scans on Zin to determine whether he was, in fact, a precog. Then she’d realize he’s not human and get totally absorbed in studying him in even more detail (Zin would allow this because she’s both lovely and diverting). At the last minute, Magnus would remember that Will’s in danger, save him with a drop-dead sexy display of guts, wits, and bravado, and then introduce her monkey to their newest guest. Then she'd realize it was just a dream and make a note not to eat any more of Will's salsa and home-made tortilla chips before bed.
Q: 8 is dared by 4 to strip while pole dancing in front of 7. Write a short dialogue about this.
Blair: “I can’t believe you actually went through with it, man.”
Noser: *hands Wendy half his cash winnings*
Wendy: “Amazing how people consistently underestimate the lengths to which a bunch of bohemian members of the counter-culture will go for the easy dollar.”
Noser: “Right on, Wendy Watson. Right on.”
Q: If you had a chance to rewrite 1's life, how would you change it?
Well, on the surface, I’d make it so his mother hadn’t died but, realistically, if she hadn’t, Will would never have come to Magnus’ attention and I wouldn’t even know about him since she’d have another protégé now. And since paradoxes are just problematic that way, I can’t change that. I might make him a Cancer with Leo as his moon-sign but that’s just me. *shrugs*
