List twelve characters, and then answer the questions. (Preferably pick your list before you look at said questions; it's just funnier that way.)
I couldn't narrow it down satisfactorily, so I did it twice, once with men, once with women.

Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11? What subjects would they teach?
Who would make a better college professor, Tony Stark or Aaron Hotchner?
This is EASY. Tony would be a TERRIBLE professor, oh my god. He would get so bored and talk about entirely irrelevant information, or he'd talk about advanced concepts like everyone should already know them, and god help you if you needed to ask any followup questions. Hotch, on the other hand, would be an excellent professor. Strict, but very willing to help out those who put in the effort, and always fair. Hotch would probably teach, well, profiling! Maybe Criminology too.
Who would make a better college professor, Natasha Romanov or Ainsley Hayes?
This one is a lot harder. Both are very intelligent, very discplined, and both work very hard. Ah, hell, let's say they're both professors, because I can't choose. Ainsley would teach political science and Natasha would teach Russian history.
Do you think 1 is hot? How hot?
Peter Burke and C.J. Cregg?
Peter is exactly my kind of hot. Older than me, a total and utter dork, and very, very smart.
C.J. is also hot. She is the epitome of HBIC, she's brilliant, and she could easily take over the world if she felt like it.
12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Sam Seaborn sends Troy Barnes on a mission?
Okay, well. Depends on what mission Sam is sending Troy on. Troy is awesome, but he can be kind of ditzy sometimes, and he might get sidetracked. I really hope this mission has nothing to do with politics. Oh god, Troy as a political intern. That could be both amazing and hilarious. I kinda want it.
Claudia Donovan sends Elizabeth Burk on a mission?
It doesn't matter what mission Claudia is sending El on. They'll succeed no matter what. Is it a mission for the Warehouse? ...Oh my god Elizabeth Burke as a Warehouse agent I SUDDENLY NEED THIS IN MY LIFE. NOW. PLEASE, WORLD. PLEASE DO THIS.
What is or would be 9's favorite book?
Harold Finch's favorite book?
Harold's is likely something old, rare, and leatherbound and probably worth several thousands of dollars.
Diana Barrigan's favorite book?
Diana's...something exciting, I think. She'd be into action.
Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
Would it make more sense for Eleven to swear fealty to Tony Stark, or the other way around?
Oh my god, the idea of those two together...they could have a SERIOUS ramble-off, Eleven would like Tony, I think, the dude is almost as smart as him, and Eleven would likely fascinate Tony (and probably subconsciously turn into another father figure for him to impress, not to get too deep into my Tony feels or anything). I'm not sure about any swearing of loyalty, though, unless you count what normally develops between Doctor and companion.
Would it make more sense for Fiona Glenanne to swear fealty to Natasha Romanov, or the other way around?
It'd probably have to be a mutual thing, I think. And oh my god those two teaming up would be TERRIFYING can you even imagine the deadliness that would ensue? That'd be a sight to behold. I think we all might want to hide.
Of course, it would also be totally awesome.
(...and now I want Michael and Natasha to meet and fanperson each other a little. OR MAYBE THEY HAVE ALREADY MET?)
For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should 5 share a studio apartment with 11 or with 12?
David Rossi is looking for a roommate. Should he share a studio apartment with Aaron Hotchner or Sam Seaborn?
Okay, there are a lot of things wrong with this. First of all, Rossi's loaded. Dude does not need a roommate. Second, obviously, he's going to be living with Aaron, but they are NOT going to be doing so in a studio apartment. He has a mansion! Third, they're not roommates. They're married. Gosh. =P (He would probably get along with Sam, though, if they met.)
Penelope Garcia is looking for a roommate. Should she share a studio apartment with Ainsley Hayes or Claudia Donovan?
CLAUDIA. No, this isn't even a question. Garcia and Claudia would be INSTANT BFFs. They're both fabulous and amazing and Internet-savvy geeks. God, I want this, now.
(Throw in Abby from NCIS and it would be the best thing ever.)
7, 2 and 9 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Steve Rogers, Eleven, and Harold Finch have dinner together? Where they go...probably a suitably high-end restaurant (Harold). What do they discuss? I can't...well, Steve talking to Eleven about time travel, to Finch about the role technology now plays in our day-to-day lives, all of them on feeling the weight of their respective responsibilities and wondering if they're really doing any good...it'd be an angsty conversation, damn.
Donnatella Moss, Fiona Glenanne, and Diana Barrigan have dinner together? They go somewhere nice but not pretentious, or maybe a diner with REALLY great food. They talk about their hectic lives and how they manage to keep up, because they all have that experience. Their responsibilities, their expectations for themselves, all of that. Donna and Fiona could trade tips about boyfriends who SUCK at emotions, and try to give Diana advice about dating with a ridiculous job, and listen to her story about Christie. They'd probably idly come up with a plan to take over the world while waiting for dessert. It would be awesome and they'd end up doing it as often as they could.
3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
Bruce Banner challenges Abed Nadir to a duel?
Let me tell you, Bruce Banner, not exactly the 'challenge someone to a duel' sort. Maybe he happened to meet Abed, and they get along (they're both geeks), and they're playing some RPG or something. See, that makes sense; it was his CHARACTER who challenged Abed's character to a duel.
Pepper Potts challenges Donna Noble to a duel?
...well, clearly, it's not what it seems, because the instant Pepper and Donna met they would begin plotting world domination together. It must be part of their plan. We're all doomed, just so you know.
If 1 stole 4's most precious possession, how would 4 get it back?
...if Peter Burke stole Larry Sizemore's most precious possession, how would Larry get it back?
First of all, Peter, why did you steal Michael? =P
Second, DO NOT STEAL FROM LARRY. You thought Vincent Adler and Matthew Keller were bugfuck? Trust me, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
As for 'how Larry gets it back'...uhh, probably his usual method, aka cutting a bloody swath through everyone and anyone who gets in his way.
This would end so poorly, my god. I...kind of want it now. XD
If C.J. Cregg stole Emma Peel's most precious possession, how would Emma get it back?
Presumably she would just ask for it, because whatever it is, it's likely C.J. didn't actually steal it. Then they could go out for coffee or something. That'd be awesome.
Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
A title for a story in which Steve Rogers and Sam Seaborn both attain what they most desire...
Okay, meme, that's creepy. I'm kind of WRITING that story, lol. It does not have a title yet, because titles are the bane of my existence.
A title for a story in which Donnatella Moss and Claudia Donovan both attain what they most desire...
"Hacking Into The White House (and Making It Look Easy)"
What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 5 and 1 to work together?
If I wanted Peter Burke and David Rossi to work together? Easy. Some kind of white collar crime/serial killer crossover case. Or Peter needs a profile, maybe.
Rossi would figure out the Peter/Neal dynamic within minutes of meeting them, and it would be amazing.
If I wanted C.J. Cregg and Penelope Garcia to work together? Hmm, tougher. Something's happening at the White House and they need a computer expert to come in and take a look, perhaps?
They would get along, def.
If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
If Steve Rogers visited me for the weekened, I would be hard-pressed not to jump him, at least once.
I think we'd get along great. I would LOVE to teach him about some of the things he's missed, especially Internet culture. I think we could have an interesting conversation about the nature and challenges of patrotism and what it means. He's a smart dude, and he's utterly precious, so that would be a fun, fascinating weekened.
If Donnatella Moss visited me for the weekend, I would probably pick her brain about her job and what it was like, we could chat about whatever, and mostly I'd just make it really relaxing for her, since she's got so much going on. It'd be fun.
If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
If I could command Bruce Banner to perform any one task or service, what would it be?
I refuse to make this question dirty. REFUSE. (But I totally thought it.)
Let's see. I would command him to realize he's got a huge freaking crush on Tony and he should really act on it, because trust me, it's mutual.
If I could command Pepper Potts to perform any one task or service, what would it be?
I am flattered by your faith in me, meme, but there is no way that could be a thing that would happen. No one commands Pepper Potts to do anything. Pepper Potts is the one ISSUING the commands, okay.
However, I would politely ask her if she needs any help after she takes over the world.
What is your favorite quality about 11?
What is my favorite quality about Aaron Hotchner?
Probably his incredible ability to Not Deal with things until it all comes catching up and inevitably explodes. I like Iron Woobies, what can I say.
What is my favorite quality about Ainsley Hayes?
That she's smart, even when I disagree with her, and she doesn't back down. (Even though Aaron sometimes wrote her stupidly.)
If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 8, which would it be?
If Eleven had to choose sides between Larry Sizemore and Troy Barnes, which would it be?
Gee, that's tough, choosing sides between a violent, unrepentantly evil psychopath and an awesome, imaginative, incredibly loyal guy who already loves the idea of traveling in space and time?
I JUST DON'T KNOW. (God, I really need to write Eleven, Troy, and Abed having adventures.)
If Fiona Glenanne had to choose sides between Emma Peel and Elizabeth Burke, which would it be?
Probably Emma, because Fi's used to the whole spy thing, it's greyer, and as much as she'd probably personally like El, her husband IS an FBI agent. Given Fiona is not always on the right side of the law, she'd want to keep her distance.
What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
What might Abed Nadir shout while charging into battle?
...something from Inspector Spacetime?
What might Donna Noble shout while charging into battle?
I imaging she'd be shouting at Ten, so it'd be something like YOU IDIOT or OI SPACEMAN.
If you chose a song to represent 4, which song would you choose?
A song to represent Larry? God, could this be any easier. There are too many songs about him. Here's one,
For Your Entertainment by Adam Lambert:
No escaping when I start
Once I'm in I own your heart
There's no way you'll ring the alarm
So hold on until it's over
Oh, do you know what you got into?
Can you handle what I'm 'bout to do?
'Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for your entertainment
A song to represent Emma? Can I cheat and pick
Miss Emma Peel by Dishwalla? XD
Miss Emma Peel
Black boots kick high at his face
One last look at the grace of
Miss Emma Peel
Catch the curve of your leather heel
Before he blacks out
That's another one down
For Miss Emma Peel
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?
Out of Peter Burke, Tony Stark, and Sam Seaborn? Irrelevant. Tony would just buy several dozen more (after he tries and fails to buy the restaurant itself.)
Out of C.J. Cregg, Natasha Romanov, and Claudia Donovan? Natasha. She's quick like a fox. And then C.J. and Claudia would spend the next few minutes good-naturedly giving her grief about using her spy skills at dinner.
What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
A good pickup line for Eleven to use on Abed? LOL, omg.
"I'm so much better than Inspector Spacetime. Want to see?"
A good pickup line for Fiona to use on Donna?
"Want to go blow something up?"
What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
What would David Rossi most likely be arrested for?
I dunno. Someone framing him for murder, maybe? Hotch and the team would figure it out, don't worry.
What would Penelope Garcia most likely be arrested for?
Hacking into something she shouldn't have.
What is 6's secret?
What is Tony Stark's secret?
SECRET. Implying ONE?
God, do you have an hour or six?
I suppose the biggest one would be the fact that no one could possibly hate him any more than he already hates himself.
What is Natasha Romanov's secret?
REALLY, MEME. REALLY. FOR THE SECRET QUESTION YOU PICK TONY "DADDY ISSUES" STARK AND NATASHA "BADASS SUPERSPY" ROMANOV?
I don't even know where to start. How about: she's not sure she deserves to be called a hero, and she's not sure there's anything she can do to make up for her past.
If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
If Aaron Hotchner and Harold Finch were racing to a destination...hmm, is it on foot? If so, Hotch would, because Finch has a physical disability that slows him down. If it's via car or plane, probably Finch, because even though Hotch could flash his badge to speed through roadblocks, Finch is a multi-billionaire who can and will bribe for the fastest and the best.
If Ainsley Hayes and Diana Barrigan were racing...on foot, probably Diana, because she's in better shape, and she's used to physical activity with her job. Actually, she'd probably win via car or plane, too, because of her badge.
3 and 7 tell conflicting versions of events. Which is more reliable?
Bruce and Steve tell conflicting stories, who is more reliable? Good god, way to ask a hard question. They're both really reliable! Is the event about Tony? Because if it's about Tony, and it's early on enough, then Bruce, since Steve's still...adjusting to him. Is it about some ridiculous hard-to-believe story? Then Steve, because Bruce might be trying to troll.
But if it were just, like, who left their dirty dishes in the living room, I have no idea.
If Pepper and Donna Moss tell conflictiong stories, who is more reliable?
This one's much easier. Donna. Pepper's awesome, but she's much more prone to manipulate, I think. Donna's more upfront.
If you had to walk home late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?
Would I feel safer in the company of Steve Rogers or Troy Barnes? Steve, easily, if only because Troy would probably be hiding behind me (and my hammer, dammit.)
Of course, if I were really in trouble, I think both would try to help me. Steve would just be more effective at it, given that it's his job.
Would I feel safer in the company of Donna Moss or Elizabeth Burke? Probably El. Though they'd both be damn good company.
"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? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it.
"Peter Burke and Harold Finch reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by Larry Sizemore's sinister secret organization. Aaron Hotchner volunteers to help them, but it later discovered that Hotch is actually a spy for Larry. Meanwhile, Larry has kidnapped Sam Seaborn in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of David Rossi, they seek out Bruce Banner, who gives them what they need to complete their quest."
Wow. Okay, I gotta unpack this.
Peter and Finch working together...that would be amazing. I gotta wonder where Finch's boyfriend Reese is in all this. Maybe he's there. Maybe Peter is their POI! Finch is undercover or something as some kind of computer crimes expert so they can stay close to him, maybe. Anyway, the threat is from Larry, apparently, which is clearly because earlier Peter stole Michael from him (this must be an evil!Michael AU, and somehow Michael got detained). I would lol forever if Reese had met Larry and/or Michael at some point (they crossed paths somewhere in their respective ~dark and troubled pasts~) and even he had been a little disturbed by them. So Hotch volunteers to help, perhaps trying to profile Michael or Larry, but is actually secretly working for Larry? No, no, what's more likely is that Larry sets it up so it LOOKS like he is, so Peter and company don't trust him.
I'm not sure why Larry kidnaps Sam, honestly. How does that help his plan? Is it a ransom thing? Why not kidnap Peter's boyfriend Neal, in that case? Maybe it's a distraction. In the meantime, Peter talks to Hotch's boyfriend Rossi and discovers that OF COURSE Hotch isn't working for Larry, don't be ridiculous, it's a setup. Then they find out about Sam and all go to...Bruce, for some reason, who gives them what they need...oh! He gets Steve for them, who's probably pretty annoyed to hear Larry kidnapped his boyfriend a friend of his. And at the end they're all concerned with rescuing Sam, so Larry grabs HIS boyfriend Michael and they flee the country, and it all ends on a Sequel Hook.
Title: "In Case of Kidnapping, Please Fill Out Form 33897b-c82 (Why It's Tough Being a Superhero's Boyfriend)"
I would probably end up writing it. I think Geena, Kelly, and Abigail, at least, would read it.
"C.J. Cregg and Diana Barrigan reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by Emma Peel's sinister secret organization. Ainsley Hayes volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that Ainsley is actually a spy for Emma. Meanwhile, Emma has kidnapped Claudia Donovan in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of Penelope Garcia, they seek out Pepper Potts, who gives them what they need to complete their quest."
Clearly, Emma got tired of stopping diabolical masterminds, and decided to become one herself, because, seriously, she could do it so much better. Steed's her loyal minion.
Diana's investigating some suspicious activity relating to whatever Emma's cover is, and somehow C.J. gets thrown in the middle. Oh, maybe she's working for the front company, and realizes Things Are Not Right. She comes to Diana with her suspicions, and then they are EMBROILED. They get Ainsley to help them for ~legal reasons~ but Emma, being awesome, already anticipated that, and talks Ainsley into joining her side instead. Since Emma IS awesome, it's not a hard sell.
Meanwhile, Emma is continuously scouring for new talent, and comes upon Claudia, and probably the Warehouse in the process. Emma may be a diabolical mastermind at this point, but she DOES have standards, so she leaves it alone in favor of coaxing Claudia to join her side. She needs someone that good with computers who also knows about artifacts, after all. Claudia goes to check her out, and somehow this gets misconstrued as a kidnapping, and Diana ends up interviewing her former roommate, Penelope Garcia. Garcia offers to help them out and look into it, and this leads them to Pepper because...idk, she and Emma are friendly business rivals. They ask for her insight.
Anyway, it all ends with all of them joining forces with Emma and agreeing to rule the world benevolently. Once that happens, the actual world domination part takes about six hours. No one really minds.
Title: "By Decree of Our New Overlords..."
I don't know who would write it, but I want this to exist now. I would read the SHIT out of that.
That was ridiculous. And fun. XD
