(no subject)
Another meme. Stolen... from the internet! This is what happens when you can't afford to leave the house.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Choose twelve characters, then use them to answer the following questions. Do not look at the questions beforehand.
My characters:
1. The Doctor (Doctor Who)
2. Mr. Ed (Mr. Ed)
3. BA Baracus (The A-Team)
4. Heinz Doofenshmirtz (Phineas & Ferb)
5. Alice (Alice in Wonderland)
6. Shipwreck (GI Joe)
7. GLaDOS (Portal)
8. Frank (Once Upon a Time in the West)
9. Grumpy Bear (Care Bears)
10. Carl Kolchak (Kolchak: The Night Stalker)
11. Lynn Minmay (Super Dimension Fortress Macross)
12. Sander Cohen (Bioshock)
1. Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11? What subjects would they teach?
Minmay neglected her studies to become a pop idol. Shipwreck is a spitting, cursing, grog-guzzling enlisted sailor. Neither of them should really be trusted with students. Still, I'd say Shipwreck. He could teach nautical terminology and rope-tying at the very least, and possibly advanced spitting, cursing, and grog-guzzling.
2. Do you think 4 is hot? How hot?
Not even the most diabolical "-inator" is going to convince me of that.
3. 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Kill some of Sander's old friends, then photograph their corpses. It's a pretty standard directive for Sander Cohen. Frank succeeds, being well-suited to such work, and Sander gifts Frank a crossbow. Then Frank shoots him. Because Frank's also kind of an asshole.
4. What is or would be 9's favorite book?
"Atlas Shrugged." Unbeknownst to many, Grumpy Bear is a staunch proponent of Objectivism.
You can imagine how he felt when the movie adaptation bombed (grumpy).
5. Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
On one hand, Shipwreck already has a rapport with talking animals, thanks to his parrot, "Polly." He does not technically have Polly's respect, however, and Mr. Ed is even harder to impress. Shipwreck's best bet? A rope-tying competition with a "slave for a day" forfeit.
6. For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should s/he share a studio apartment with
9 or with 10?
Alice is accustomed to magical creatures, so it probably wouldn't faze her to room with a talking blue bear. Similarly, she and Kolchak are somewhat kindred spirits, always trying in vain to convince others of the fantastical things they've seen. The two could share crazy stories.
In the end, though... probably less awkward to risk being seen in one's bloomers by the bear.
7. 2, 7 and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
There are only so many places that would seat a talking horse, a sociopathic robot, and a creepy, whitefaced mutant. Once they did find a restaurant (let's say "Krystal Burger"), I suppose they'd spend the entire meal complaining about discrimination?
GLaDOS might also wonder aloud why she bothered to begin with, since she doesn't eat.
8. 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
Does the duel take place aboard an airplane? If not, Kolchak loses. Badly. Fending off witches, vampires, and shapeshifting demons is one thing, but BA Baracus is proficient with actual firearms, and is hella tough to boot. I only wonder how Kolchak managed to so anger Baracus in the first place.
9. If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would he get it back?
He wouldn't. The Doctor has a time machine, and Frank is trapped in the old west. Whatever the Doctor took is his now.
10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
They're both video game villains, so... "Game Over." ;P
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
I'll go with the "mirror universe" device. Otherwise, benevolent Time Lords don't usually associate with incompetent mad scientists. In this case, the Doctor and Alternate Doofenshmirtz team up to defeat Alternate Perry the Platypus and his evil goatee.
12. If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Probably not well. For one, my home lacks an elaborate, portal-based testing course, and that seems to be her preferred method of entertainment. I suppose she could channel her contemptuous banter into a sporting game of Trivial Pursuit, but... let's be honest, there's little to no chance of this visit ending happily.
13. If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
Personal bodyguard. I would say that choice is pretty obvious. We all encounter fools who need to be forcibly pitied.
14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11?
They could! But they don't.
15. If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
Mr. Ed isn't necessarily a champion of justice, but it's difficult to imagine him choosing evil over good. Doofenshmirtz has never gotten along with animals, anyway.
16. What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
Perhaps, "This will sell!" Although he's charging into battle with a camera. Because Kolchak doesn't really charge into battle.
17. If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
"Behind Blue Eyes." Or "Happiness is a Warm Gun."
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?
Shipwreck can start a fistfight. Sander Cohen can stab the others with his silverware. But they still can't trump a time machine. The Doctor gets the last serving and is halfway across the galaxy before Sander and Shipwreck realize they've been stuck with the bill.
19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
"H-h-hey, mister - ever interviewed a talking horse?" You say "pickup line," however, and that's just gross.
20. What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
LSD possession? -'_-'
21. What is 6's secret?
The deep emotional scars left by his first Equator-Crossing Ritual. Why, King Neptune, why?
22. If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Rainbow bridges and cloud cars are stylish ways to ride, but Minmay usually gets chauffeured about in supersonic space jets, so she wins. If it helps Grumpy Bear feel any better, though, Minmay still didn't get the last iPad 3. Thanks again to the Doctor and his stupid time machine.
23. 3 goes on a blind date with 8 and then another blind date with 11. Where would they go and which date would go best?
The second date could've gone better, but we'll never know. Baracus exploded the service that set him up with Frank, swearing off all "romance jibba jabba" from that point on.
24. 1 and 9 reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's sinister secret organization. 11 volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that 11 is actually a spy for 4. Meanwhile, 4 has kidnapped 12 in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5, they seek out 3, who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic?
:O
"The New Greatest Story Ever Told."
