Community Meme
Taken from eleventhimpala
In honor of the Dungeons and Dragons episode that premieres tonight, I've decided to do a second meme. The rules still apply - Make a list of ten characters: the seven members of the study group, and your three personal favorite "supporting characters." Assign them each a random number, so that your list is different from others.
This meme is actually a slightly-reworked combination of three different ones, one of which, like the first, I found on firthgal's page, the second of which was on Deviant Art and the third I found in a funny little prompt book at a garage sale. (I've actually posted several of these questions before, but I deleted them while clearing out my journal, so I consider them usable.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Troy
5. Britta
2. Abed
7. Annie
3. The Dean
6. Chang
10. Pierce
8. Shirley
1. Jeff
9. Leonard
1. Gender-swap 5, 8 and 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? That makes Britta a guy, Shirley a dude, and Pierce a woman. Britta, or Bryan, would be the reason Jeff created the study group. I'd imagine if Shirley was a guy named Sheldon, he would be an Al Sharpton type person, which would be hilarious. And Pierce or Poppy. Ah, pierce. Pierce would have to lose the sexism, but maintain the racism/everythingelseism. Bryan would have the most affect as this would change the pilot a bit. Also the scene where he flashes Neil.
2. Compare the matchups of 5/8 and 2/9. (Ignore canon sexual preferences at the moment.) Which couple would be more compatible? Which couple would be seen as more plausible to the other characters? Okay. 5/8 is Britta/Shirley and 2/9 is Abed and Leonard. HAHAHAHAHA okay. Abed and Leonard . . . have they even shared a scene? I think this ship would be sweet but fizzle out quickly. Shirley would be like DDDD8 'not lesbianism!' But I think those two would balance each other out. Both are kind of uptight but in different ways.
3. Your team is 3, 4 and 6. The mission consists of a physical challenge, a mental challenge and a social challenge. Which team member do you assign to each challenge? The Dean, Troy, and Chang. Troy would obviously do the physical challenge. That leaves the dean and Chang. Both Chang and the dean are pretty smart. Dean is able to manipulate Jeff or other students pretty well. He does have his moments. Chang was able to fool everyone into thinking he was a teacher. By default, because the dean seems to have SOME social skills and Chang does not, Chang would do the mental challenge and the Dean, the social.
4. 3 and 7 get three wishes. However, there's a catch! They both have to agree on all three wishes before they get the benefits of any of them. What three wishes would they make? Hm. Annie and the Dean. I think they'd both agree that they each get their own wish, then share the third. Dean would wish for a never ending supply of people in animal costumes and Annie would probably wish that the study group would never break up. Then they'd probably make a wish to make Greendale a real college.
5. 2 and 8 are brainwashed by a mind-control device that instructs them to attack and kill 1. Other than the newfound desire to see 1 dead, everything else about them (personality, skills, competence) is the same. Can 1 survive? How? Abed and Shirley want to kill Jeff. Both are BAMF in their own way, a lot of which you can see in Modern Warfare. I don't think Shirley would succeed though. I think she'd have to do it some religious way and she's not, well, good at being subtle. Abed on the other hand can impersonate anybody and frequently uses his weirdness to trick people. He's got a good handle on reading people even if he only relates them to TV Characters. I think he'd end up killing Jeff. ):
6. 1, 6, 7 and 9 must help an orphanage full of small and depressed children have a merry Christmas. What happens? This doesn't look promising. Jeff, Annie, Chang, and Leonard. Annie would have good intentions, Jeff would be bored and criticize everything (but go along with it, however begrudgingly) and I think Chang, delighted to be part of something, would go too over the top and be the scariest elf ever. Leonard, who actively thwarts the entire thing is Santa. The kids would attach themselves and Chang would get a cult following. Annie would be sad that no kids came up to her and Leonard would be drunk and problematic. It would be a mess, but the kids are happy in the end.
7. 4 and 10 are challenged to 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/their own personality conflicts? *googles things that are invented before 1900* Oh Troy and Pierce. Yeah, that trek wouldn't last long at all. First town they get to, Pierce pisses someone off and Troy gets mistaken for a god.
8. 4 invites 3 and 8 to their home for dinner. What occurs? Troy has the dean and Shirley over for dinner. Well. That would be the worst dinner ever. The dean and Shirley are both the types to try to be nice no matter what, and Troy would just sit there, awkwardly.
9. 9 tries to get 5 to go with them to a strip club. What happens? Britta feels that Leonard just wants someone to be his friend and goes with him. She ends up slapping him in the end.
10. 2 and 7 are making out. 10 walks in. What is their reaction? Abed and Annie are making out and Pierce walks in? Annie screams and tries to act like nothing was happening, Abed cooly observes the situation and sits quietly. Pierce sits down and urges them to continue and takes out his phone to record. Annie scoffs disgustedly and storms out. Abed just stares at Pierce.
11. 3 falls in love with 6. 8 is jealous. What happens? Dean falls in love with Chang and Shirley is jealous. The dean saw Chang in his dark elf get up and got turned on. Shirley was reconsidering him as the father to her child and sees the dean and Chang hanging out. I think she'd storm in there and tell the dean that Baby Jesus sees what he does when he's in his office, and baldly tells Chang she wants him to act like the father of her child, not a child himself.
12. 7 kidnaps 2 and demands something from 5 for 2's release. What is it, and does 5 give it up? Annie kidnaps Abed and demands something from Britta for Abed's release. ORGY TIME!
13. 4 jumps 9 in an alleyway. Who is the most likely to come to 9's rescue, 2, 7 or 10? Troy jumps Leonard in an alleyway. Well that's a little racist. MEME Y U SO RACIST THO? And of Abed, Annie, or Pierce, who would try to rescue him? Annie.
14. Everyone on your list is invited to 2 and 10's wedding except for 8. How does 8 react? Shirley would be heartbroken not being invited to Abed and Pierce's wedding. She wouldn't crash it, I don't think. She'd confront them later, after their honeymoon.
15. 1 is late for the wedding mentioned above. Why were they late? Because Jeff got caught up banging a foreign exchange student.
16. 9 accidentally kills 2. How does 4 react? Leonard 'accidentally' kills Abed. Troy would . . . jump him in an alley.
17. 6 and 1 are in mortal danger. Only one of them can survive. Does 6 try to save him/herself, or does s/he sacrifice him/herself to save 1? Chang and Jeff. I think Chang would ultimately want to go down as a hero, so he'd sacrifice himself.
18. 1 decides to start a cooking show. Is it a success? Something tells me Jeff used to have his own cook come in when he was a lawyer. And his show would involve a hotplate and air on a local access network. I think it would be a hit with college students.
19. 5, 7 and 9 get drunk and end up at 3's home. What ends up happening? Britta, Annie and Leonard get drunk and wind up at the dean's place. The dean would invite them in but have some sort of 'party' going on. Britta and Annie would probably share a bed and fall asleep together and Leonard would take a crap in the dean's oven.
20. 1, 3, 4, and 10 are having a peaceful conversation when, suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, 3 angrily states that s/he's always secretly hated 4 and abruptly leaves. Write a short dialogue between the remaining characters as they try to figure out what could have possibly caused this reaction. Let me write this out. Jeff, the dean, Troy, and Pierce are having a conversation. Then the dean states that he always hated Troy and leaves.
Jeff: What the hell was that about?
Pierce: I think he might be racist. I hate racist people.
Jeff: But you're racist.
PIerce: I am not! I don't mind what color people's skin is, so long as they act white.
Troy (in a small voice): He's not racist you guys.
[Pierce and Jeff look at him]
Troy (bursts out crying): I DESTROYED HIS DOG COSTUME! I found it and thought it was the other football team's and so me and my teammates hung it out and it got destroyed in the rain.
