Character meme!

[eve11]

from astrogirl2 and others. Characters are all from various TV shows.

1) Make a list of 10 characters.
2) Assign each character a number.
3)Without telling anyone who's on the list or the character's assigned number, get questions from your flist about what they'd like to know about them. IE: "If 3 and 4 were trapped in a cave together with only a blanket and a toothpick, what would they do?" (The more random the better!)
4) Post the answers of who was who on the list (as well as who figured it out first).

So, begin guessing...now!

5 and 7 are a team for the Amazing Race (race around the world). Do they get along, and would they do better at directions, mental puzzles, or physical activities?

2 has to give a speech to elementary school students. What is the topic and how successful would he/she be?

3, 6, 8, and 9 are going out together for a group evening. What activity would each pick to do and what would they end up doing?

1 and 10 have a drinking contest on who has the angstier life...who would win?

[eve11]

1) 5 and 7 are quite possibly the most utterly fantastic Amazing Race runners in the whole history of history. Neither would particularly be interested in doing it for the prize money. 7 would do it just to see if she could, and 5 would probably get caught up because of a case of mistaken identity. After a near disastrous first leg in which they finish seventh, they knock out a game plan in which 7 has ultimate decision power and handles the mental puzzles, 5 follows orders but takes the lead on physical challenges, and there is a solemn pact NOT use weapons or deadly force of any kind. After that, they win wire to wire. Also, an entire genre of extremely hot femmeslash is spawned on the TAR RPS mailing lists.

2) The topic is hygiene and 2 has been roped into it by a higher and hated authority, possibly because of the result of a poorly-wagered bet. After a half-hour in which 2 doesn't actually say anything untruthful yet manages to make two thirds of the class cry while engaging the six most interested and vocal students in an ever-intensifying ego contest (he wins *and* is triumphant about it), the shell-shocked teachers just kind of stare at him, and ask for applause. It takes a day or so for the lawsuits to pour in, but 2 just lets that be a lesson to his higher-ups.

3) 3 wants to go dancing, or stargazing, or doing something that normal people would want to do, though inside she's sure she'll mess it up, but she's too enthralled by what she sees in 8 to not do something with the group. 6 wants to do 3, but only if he can decide whether or not she's a real human because dude, she's kinda freaky. 9 isn't sure how he ended up with these guys-- he used to think stargazing was fun, a long time ago, but anyway he racks his brain to try and think of something that will let everyone open up a little so he can learn more about them. 8 puts his foot down and declares that they are going to see the Singing Crystals of Toros Minor, and when they end up at a pub in Kent instead, convinces them all that that was the plan all along.

4) 1 should win, hands down, both in the angst and the stamina, but it's actually a lot closer of a contest. 10 had thought about swearing off drinking, but then at the sight of 1 figured he might just need to set the mission aside for a tick and figure out what he did to cause visual hallucinations. Still, since 1 is a damned good drinking buddy, they manage to have one hell of a night. 1 gets some good advice, and 10 gets a lot of fodder for inner monologues.

#2 is House. #2 has to be House. :)

[eve11]

So close! But no, there is another...

These are so much fun.

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

1 has to ask 7 for a really, really big favor. What's the favor? Does 7 agree? Does it actually get done?

10 accidentally discovers 4's secret diary. What does 10 think of what 4's written?

One of the other ten gives 6 an adorable puppy. Who gave it, and why? What does 6 do with it?

Re: These are so much fun.

[eve11]

1) The favor is to get him off a particular rock where he's been marooned, and she comes through in spades, starting off with a complicated plan that somewhere along the line (to 1's relief) degenerates into shooting things.

2) 10 can't say he's an expert on genetics or thermonuclear war (unless you count that one time he and his brother stayed on the couch all weekend watching War Games because the VCR had auto-rewind and neither of them was sober enough to get up and change the tape), but he figures even taking that into account, some really bad stuff is slated to happen to 4 (eta: sorry had 10 there before, meant 4).

3) 3 gives 6 the puppy. It's actually a complicated, coded message that foreshadows his doom. 6 pretends not to notice the puppy and talks up 3 until she near on breaks his wrist. She runs, and in the resulting isolation 6 sneaks some sidelong glances, then picks up the puppy and coos to it, convincing it to sleep at the foot of his bed.

This'll be a rough start...

Does 1-10 consider Earth their home?
Has 1-10 ever breakdanced?
Will 1-10 ever buy any of my art prints?

Re: This'll be a rough start...

[eve11]

1) if you randomly selected any one of the 10 out of the list, there's a 50-50 chance they'd call Earth their home.
2) 2, 10, and 6. All of them in work boots. All of them were drunk enough not to remember it. Only 10 would ever admit to it, even when presented with video proof.
3) 3 would love them. 8 would scoff and say they needed more color.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

It's 10's birthday, what would he/she like to do? And if 2, 4, 7, and 8 were giving 10 books, what would they be about?

3 declares a deep and undying - and somewhat kinky - passion for 9. How does 9 react?

What jobs would a modern-day emplyment agency suggest for 5 and 6? Would it be together and would they make money?

[eve11]

1) 10 would like to have a drink or two with friends, and hope not to tick anyone off or end up in jail because of it. I think 2 would not like 10 at all, but he doesn't like anyone. He'd probably give him something like this, or possibly a Jeff Foxworthy compilation. 4 gives him this one. 7, this one, and 8, after a meandering series of name-drops, gives him this one, with an apology that he didn't pop by with it sooner.

2) 9 is a little flummoxed, communicating as such through nothing but facial gestures and aborted attempts at sentences. Then he lets her down gently. 3 is confused and hurt, but scientifically speaking she's not sure if it's from 9's reaction or just the way things always are.

3) Bouncer. Truckdriver. Mercenary. Or a reality TV show in which both of them are bouncing truckdriving mercenaries, because that much hot should totally be on screen. Alternatively, anything in which they can shoot things, most likely or preferably non-human, either due to location or circumstance. Both of them would take the recommendations in stride, and they'd make money off of it for a while. But in the end the job wears, and they only really want to keep their family safe and close.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Ummm... might 7 be Sam Carter?

[aurora-novarum.livejournal.com]

Can I ask another?

They all go to an amusement park. Where would each head first.

[eve11]

heh.

8 heads straight for the roller coasters (one with loops) since he's more than familiar with those as a metaphor for life. 7 joins him and they have a lovely if heated conversation in the front car (between screaming for delight) about kinematics.

2 finds one of those tennis-ball tank games (where you can either drive the tank/boat and fire at the standing guns, or set up in a standing gun and fire at the tanks) and with a suave set of sunglasses and a bourbon-spiked slurpee, sets the park record for consecutive hits to a tank. After enough barrages hit the windshield, the tank stops and 10 slowly emerges with his hands up, wondering why 2 went solely for him when the other tank (driven by his brother) only managed to get one tread going and spent the whole time going in a circle.

3 likes the swing ride and detests the bumper cars because they are physically incapable of producing reflexive and psychological reactions consistent with "fun". 6 on the other hand, grabs a ball cap and slouches into his jacket just so he can appear young enough to get into the bumper car ride and pound the hell out of the rest of those poor saps. Then he rides one of those 'press you to the side' centrifuges until he throws up all six hot dogs he ate. Both of them then sit on a park bench and complain about their brothers.

4 can't get the park to sign any disabled medical release forms, but he doesn't really care, using it only as a cover to infiltrate the logistics and main power distribution center, intent on causing panic and hysteria through which he will reduce the park to cinders and from the ashes rebuild a better, more perfect park through which the germ of war will take seed and spread unerringly throughout the rest of the world. NONE WILL BE SPARED.

5 thinks about going to the flight simulator, but is stopped up by the sight of cotton candy. 9 attempts to explain the history of fairs and cotton candy to her, but then realizes he thought she was someone else when she asks questions earnestly and completely refrains from suggestive comments about "candy floss."

1 goes straight for the whack-a-mole games. And breaks them, then stands around looking sheepish.

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

OK, 4 is clearly Davros, and I am now giggling insanely (fittingly enough). 5 might be Aeryn?

[aurora-novarum.livejournal.com]

9 isn't Daniel is it? If so, *snerk* at thinking Aeryn was someone else.

[nicocoer.livejournal.com]

10 and 6 are room mates. Whose room is messier? And what sort of conversation would come up on friday nights? And. . . What's the biggst argument they might have?

8 spills coffee on 1. was it accidental or on purpose? If it was on purpose, why? And was it hot Coffee or cold? How does 1 react?

3 wakes up on 10 and 6 's couch. what's 3's first reaction/thought?

[eve11]

I think I might be laughing too hard at your icon to answer these...

1) That is a good question. I think 6 probably doesn't have as stable enough of a "room" or enough stuff to make huge messes, so 10 definitely wins, despite his room being little to no better than most of 6's. On Friday nights they would drink beer and talk about girls. An argument might arise-- well, a misunderstanding, anyway, when 10 calls his ex-wife a right hellspawn, and 6 brandishes a sawed-off shotgun and asks where she is now.

2) Definitely an accident. Hot coffee, but only because he can't find anything with any resemblance to tea. 1 yells out in surprise and then protests loudly and menacingly, growling at 8, who becomes indignant and says that if 1 can't accept a simple apology perhaps he should at least consider anger management classes. By the end of the night, 1 has saved 8's hide, 8 has inadvertently given him terrible advice on impressing girls, while together they've freed the indentured class and changed the course of history of the planet they'd been on.

3) "Two divergent roads-- one up, one down-- following you both, weaving through the strands of... ew, are those cheetos?"

[nicocoer.livejournal.com]

*snerkle* what can I say, I love me some House/Wilson.

What's 6's favorite type of car? and is he an older brother or younger brother?

If 8 could live anyplace, where would 8 live?

If 1 and 10 lived on a space-craft, what sort of duties would they have? And who would protest the most if given Mess duty (working kitchen)?

[aurora-novarum.livejournal.com]

Okay, 1 is a warrior stuck on a rock with apparently frustration/anger management issues (hence whack-a-mole), but guilt enough to be sheepish after he may break it.

And would secretly like being a cook...plus is almost as angsty as 10...

Um...yeah, I got nothin.

Time for another question: 1 and 10 are engaging in a (non-lethal) sport because of a bet. What kind of sport would each want to choose (chess, tennis, boxing?, poker, roulette), what would be the compromise, and who would win?

[eve11]

Oh, 1 is definitely angstier than 10. It's just that 10 can really hold his liquor well, so the contest was not nearly as one-sided as it should have been. Not that 10's not got angst (well, bad luck anyway), but he's working on that. I think we may not share 1's fandom, though. :(

Okay, sports, hmmm... 1 is not all that familiar with Earth sports but might choose football because at least he's heard of it. 10 would take one look at 1, and despite being not such a small person himself, would pick the daintiest sport he could think of. Sadly, because he's listened to way too many rednecks in his life, the first sport that he blurts out is soccer. After way too many bruises, some accidental hair (and other things) pulling, and a cracked tibia, they end up muddy but surprisingly upbeat, and playing Rock, Paper, Scissors. ;)

Is 1 D'Argo (if that's the cq spelling)?

Hi :), btw, it's Kara -- hope I'm allowed to play...

[lyore.livejournal.com]

Ugh. It's like a massive cryptic crossword, and I fail at cryptic crosswords.

I have no idea.

[eve11]

Oh jeez, I'm sorry! No need to play if you don't want to, obviously ;)

I love cryptic crosswords but I can only solve the ones written by Americans. The Brits break too many of the rules for me to figure most of their clues out :(

kara again --

is 10 Earl from My Name is ....?

[lyore.livejournal.com]

Oh no, don't be sorry. I am just bemoaning my own stupidity at things like this *g*
