1. Divide the list up by even and odd. Which group of five would make a better Five Man Band (like a Power Rangers team)? Who would you slot in each position: Leader, Lancer (second-in-command), Big Guy, Smart Guy, The Chick? If you think the team would be improved by swapping one character between the even and odd groups, which ones would you switch?
Group A:
* Ryohei - Big Guy
* Gokudera - Lancer
* femBel - Smart Guy
* Mukuro - Leader
* Torchie - The Chick
Group B:
* Fai - Useless Guy Lancer????
* Girlkudera - Smart Guy
* Bluebell - Leader
* roommateByakuran - The Chick
* femYamamoto - Big Guy
Wow, these teams are amazingly uneven, genderwise. Also HAHAHAHAHA I'M SO SORRY TORCHIE. Poor kid's stuck with a bunch of psychos. EVERYTHING'S GONNA GO UP IN FLAMES, SCREA--
For Group B, Bluebell was pretty much leader by default. She wouldn't really be in like the real position of power, roommateByakuran and Fai would influence all of her decisions and stuff, but they're. Not leaders. IF IT WERE A NORMAL BYAKURAN but no it's the weird girly nonviolent one.
THEY'RE BOTH HORRIBLE. Group A would spend the entire time arguing and fighting and maiming each other, that is such a disastrous combination up there. (Except for Torchie, for the fighting, at least. He'd still be contributing to the disastrous as he'd cower and try to focus on not lighting everything on fire.) Group B half consists of completely unmotivated people. Group A might actually be able to get something done if they'd just shut up for a few minutes, but Group B's useful side only consists of femMoto and Girlkudera when she isn't bitching at one of her jackass companions.
... on the other hand, trading wouldn't help. SO MAYBE MY CHARACTERS ARE JUST AWFUL FOR THIS QUESTION IN GENERAL.
2. Gender-swap 2, 8 & 10. Which character would have the most change in their story arc? Which the least? Would any of these characters have to have a complete personality change to be believable as the opposite sex?
2. Fai
8. roommateByakuran
10. femYamamoto
... this is so ironic. THE TWO GIRLY MEN, AND THE GIRL WHO IS A BOY IN CANON.
I don't think I even need to answer Yamamoto, so.
Fai I kind of think would be... quieter? More polite, just as secretive but less prone to lying so often. Better at dodging things and distracting people, if that's possible.
RoommateByakuran would sadly be basically the same.
3. Compare the matchups of 1 & 8 and 5 & 9. (Ignore canon sexual preferences for the moment.) Which couple would be more compatible? Which couple would be more plausible to people from either principal's home culture?
1. Ryohei
8. roommateByakuran
5. femBel
9. Torchie
Pairing 1: Ryohei/Byakuran
Pairing 2: femBel/Torchie
LMAO SOB AWFUL.
SADLY YET AGAIN roommateByakuran comes from a world that makes no sense so he's. Already with a Ryohei. SO THAT. MAKES... SENSE... In a very strange way ahslfjkogwa.
Uh, femBel/Torchie is straight and they're closer to the same age, so they look more normal to the naked eye. Except femBel is an unstable serial killer and Torchie is a pyrokinetic. OOPS. There's no way Torchie'd top, poor woobie.
4. Your team is 3, 4 & 9. The mission consists of a social challenge, a mental challenge and a physical challenge. Which team member do you assign to each challenge?
3. Gokudera
4. Girlkudera
9. Torchie
TORCHIE GETS THE SOCIAL CHALLENGE TORCHIE GETS THE SOCIAL CHALLENGE TORCHIE GETS THE SOCIAL CHALLENGE-- ahem. Yes. Being the only one WITH social skills between these three, that would. Make sense.
At first I'd say Gokudera gets the physical challenge and Girlkudera gets the mental challenge, except that Gokudera might bring up the point that she's female and therefore weaker in explanation as to why, which would prompt Girlkudera to step on him and take the goddamn physical challenge. It wouldn't make much of a difference, honestly.
5. 7 becomes 1's boss for a week in some plausible fashion. How's their working relationship?
7. Mukuro
1. Ryohei
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA kind of terrible.
Ryohei is so stupid he should be horribly predictable and manipulable, except he's so stupid he doesn't have the same common sense as other stupid people and he'd KEEP COMING TO THE WRONG CONCLUSIONS and Mukuro would probably get pretty frustrated. Inwardly.
6. 2 finds him/her/itself inserted into 6's continuity. As far as anyone other than 2 or 6 is concerned, they've always been there. What role would 2 be presumed to have had in 6's story, and could they fit in without going wonky?
2. Fai
6. Bluebell
This question might be more fun if this kind of thing were STRANGE for Fai.
WORLDHOPS ON OVER, FINDS A LOLI WITH BLUE HAIR. I have no idea why they'd stick together, maybe Bluebell would just drag him everywhere because he has pretty hair she said so.
7. 3 and 5 get three wishes. The catch is that they have to agree on all three wishes before they get the benefits of any of them. What three wishes would they make?
3. Gokudera
5. femBel
... I.
CAN THESE TWO EVEN AGREE ON ANYTHING.
I mean, femBel would probably IMMEDIATELY talk about wishing Xanxus into power, which Gokudera would obviously NOT be okay with-- honestly I think femBel might just keep suggesting stuff entirely to piss Gokudera off.
I can't even imagine what these two would want if they were offered wishes. Bigger weapons arsenals? Royal recognition? The title of right hand man, etc.
If Gokudera mentioned wanting his mother back, Bel might go along with that, but she'd expect a self-involved wish in return, which would probably be growth and power for her country. IT WOULDN'T JUST BE A LITTLE PAIR OF UNKNOWN ACRES NEAR RUSSIA ANYMORE And then the third wish... Bel would probably be like YOUR WISH WAS BIGGER I SHOULD GET ANOTHER but Gokudera would not ever agree with that, so... I don't know, maybe they'd eventually agree on the preservation of the Vongola in general or something.
8. 1 and 2 are brainwashed by a one-time artifact that works even on people immune to mind control to attack and kill 4. They keep their normal personality, skills and competence level, except any Code vs. Killing has been turned off. Can 4 survive? How?
1. Ryohei
2. Fai
4. Girlkudera
I'm usually all for Girlkudera beating the crap out of people, but I honestly think she'd be done for here. 2 on 1 is never good odds, and since Ryohei's close-range and Fai's long-range, they're both out of her midrange strongpoint unless they both make really fucking awful mistakes.
9. 6, 7, 9 & 10 must help an orphanage full of small and depressed children have a merry Christmas. Who does what, knowing that at the very least the kids will be expecting a visit from Santa?
6. Bluebell
7. Mukuro
9. Torchie
10. femYamamoto
Mukuro will dress up as Santa. He's the tallest.
The other three... well, none of them can honestly be trusted to make toys, so they could just play with the kids. Even Bluebell would play nice with orphans. Maybe femMoto could cook?
10. 3 and 8 are challenged to circumnavigate the Earth in eighty days or less, using only forms of transportation invented before 1900. Can they do it, or will they be fatally distracted by sidequests or their own personality conflicts?
3. Gokudera
8. roommateByakuran
I feel like neither of them would know anything about inventions from before 1900. WHERE ARE THE COMPUTERS? D8
but uh, roommateByakuran would probably think the hot air balloon idea would be pretty fun, so they'd get going eventually.
... they'd both get totally distracted by souvenirs and local legends to make it in 80 days, though.
