mejoff has been doing one of these on his LJ, and I love it -- sort of somewhere between a very geeky 20 questions and freeform roleplaying game. So, here's mine (his is still ongoing, though, and I can certainly recommend adding to the discussion there too).

The Fifteen Character Meme. It goes like this:
1. I make a list of 15 fictional characters.
2. ( Read more... )

1 isn't actually driving his nondescript five-year-old Ford Focus, but has a contraption rigged up to resemble a perfectly average human motorist.

7 is driving a smart car. Although she can be distracted when doing some tasks, she's probably quite sensible about driving, and doesn't let her mind wander in such circumstances, so she's unlikely to be the cause of the crash.

10 is driving what used to be a Jaguar, perhaps forty years ago, but which has been crashed, repaired, stolen, found again, sold, bartered, battered, repossessed, handed down, and stolen back, so many times, that it is hard to determine the original marque, or even if it has a specific marque. He causes the crash, when bits start falling off his car, littering the road and causing 7 to swerve. 7 anticipates that 1 will also swerve, but 1's reflexes are somewhat slow due to the arrangement of levers, strings, springs, and concertina struts that operates the perfectly average human motorist contraption. Although the bit of 10's car with him in it isn't directly involved in the crash, his seat does come to a halt just a few yards in front of where 7 and 1 end up. 1 is mightily pissed off that his cover has been blown, but becomes resigned to another thwarting of his plans.

Why is 1 beginning to sound like The Brain?

And could your sense of humour have allowed for 7 to be Seven?

And again, 10, Jack Sparrow?

I am going to take those as actual guesses, this time!

Yes.

No.

OK, Jack Sparrow was a bit obvious. Good point ;)

Yeah, I'm not sure why the goddess in human form bit confused you, though (Calypso, in Jack's case).
