Discworld Friending Meme!

[startron]

I know, these things are usually run by BNFs and other people of vast popularity, but there is a massive shortage of Friending Memes to do with books on LJ so I decided to add one, albeit a bit of a specific one! :3

You've arrived on the Disc! And a horse and cart have magically appeared before you! What region are you anxious to see first? I am going to head straight to Ankh-Morpork to work at the Golem's Trust! If Adorabelle doesn't shoot me in the head the minute I walk through the door. :|

I see! Does your favourite character live there? No? Who is your favourite character, then? My favourite Discworld character is Reg Shoe. I love how optimistic he is, and he made me cry in Night Watch. I also love all of the wizards at the Unseen University - especially the Bursar.

Ooh, nice. And your least favourite? Yes, everybody has a least favourite - even if they don't admit to it in public! Corporal Strappi.

Fascinating. So, your favourite book would be...? Guards! Guards!, because it was my first Discworld novel, Going Postal because it was one of those books that make you hop around with glee when the protagonist kicks some enemy butt, and The Wee Free Men because it makes me laugh out loud whenever I read it.

Eek! William de Worde has been hot on your tail and now wants a little word with you. Don't mind that flash - Otto has his favourite picture-box with him. So! What do you tell de Worde about? My interpretation of The Koom Valley Codex, complete with insane conspiracy theories! That should keep us talking whilst Otto attempts to pick himself up.

Oh dear. You're halfway through the interview and, regrettably, Captain Carrot and Sergeant Angua have arrived to arrest you! What might you have done? ... Indecent exposure. :'D

Well, I'm sure Commander Vimes will be lenient - maybe. Whilst you sit in your cell at the Watch House and ruminate, are there any things from our world that you're missing? Books, CDs, television shows, celebrities, music? Well...I miss my battered copy of Good Omens, and my DC comic collection. As well as my iPod. Well, mainly the Lady GaGa album. And all of my Hans Zimmer OSTs. And my Doctor Who DVDs! Oh gods, how will I live without my BBC iPlayer? I won't be able to catch up on Merlin or Have I Got News for You! DOOM!

Ah - it's all a mistake, you're being released. But Cheery wants to know if there anything else the Watch should know about you! Do you get PLT at certain times of the month? Wear a black ribbon? Have an unusual fondness for green squishy things in jars, or come from Überwald in general? I did once howl at full moon, but that was because Christopher Eccleston was regenerating and I didn't want him to. And I have a penchant for Mikado pocky.

Uh-oh. It's a summons from Vetinari. You're in Discworld now, you need to be a member of a Guild! Which Guild do you pick? Presumably after you've told Havelock how awesome he is. I baked him a pie, but his food-tester eated it all :-( Oh well. I'll join the Assassins Guild, and hope my enemies forgot to pay their subscription this month...

On your way to orientation, you run into CMOT Dibbler, and he wants to - *gulp* - sell you a pie! How do you fob him off? Buy a pie, and try to fob it off to Foul Ole Ron.

Well, that got rid of him! But oh dear, before you can do anything else you are pulled inside a bar. It's Nanny Ogg, and she challenges you to a drinking contest! How many pints do you get through before you faint? Nineteen glasses of Red Bull, and then it's a MASSIVE SUGAR RUSH.

You did good! But as you slumped into unconsciousness, Granny Weatherwax spirits you home! Well, it's been quite a day. How would you sum up your journey through Discworld in one word? Er. An experience! Wait, that's two.

[alkhoon]

Can I be your friend? :D

[startron]

BUT OF COURSE. ;D

I swear we must have friended each other nineteen times over the last year, lmfao.

[alkhoon]

I KNOW RIGHT.

We are like an elastic band. Hahah. I'M SORRY BUT I ALWAYS COME BACK! :D

[startron]

I SHALL TRY COMPARING YOU TO A BOOMERANG. MAYHAPS THEN I SHALL FINALLY BE RID OF YOU.

[alkhoon]

I'M SORRY. NULL AND VOID. BOOMERANGS COME BACK ALWAYS AND I FUNCTION CORRECTLY, MISS. (last time I checked)

[startron]

>:

THAT IS SO NICE TO KNOW YOUR MAJESTY...BUT I ALSO BROUGHT BACK THIS...ER...FINE WINE FOR RALEIGH AND MELCHETT!

[alkhoon]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

You are the best :')

[ciannans_castle]

Well, hello. I don't know why I'm surprised to see you here :P

[ciannans_castle]

Huh. I totally thought this was in the Discworld comm I belong to. Now I just feel silly. *blushes*

[startron]

LOL. I didn't think of posting it in the Discworld comm - do you think I should?

[ciannans_castle]

Ooooh, that could be fun.

[startron]

I hate cross-posting things. >: I'm always scared people will accuse me of being an attention whore, lmfao.

[ciannans_castle]

But friending memes are fun. You can always say I made you. There was a gonne involved.

[startron]

D: DON'T POINT THAT THING AT ME, CORPORAL!

[ciannans_castle]

...OKAY. NO FUN AT ALL.
