Memage on the fiction journal? *gasp*

[dolevalan]

Well, inspired by the lovely evremonde, I decided to give this a go.

rougen, you should do it too. Because it would make me happy.

Choose twelve of your original characters in any particular order (NO PEEKING AT THE QUESTIONS AT THIS STAGE!). Then, answer the questions that follow.

1) Gabrielle Beaufort (Ravenloft, fic here: Portrait, Santa Baby)
2) Anya Evans (Ravenloft, fic here: Untitled, First Kiss, Silent Night, Untamed)
3) Zoyala Colsirdi (Rhedrah, fic here: Partings, What Dreams May Come, Quandry, Snake Eyes)
4) Dominic Canungar (Rhedrah. No Dom fic yet, poor man. It'll come.)
5) Tahar Kolebsul (Mirsis, fic here: Fate, Question and Answer)
6) Arthur Sloane (Poor Arthur's story has no title, as yet. But he has a good deal of fic devoted to him, pesky man. Here: One More Morning, River, Full of Grace, End, Ye Fiery-Footed Steeds)
7) Sabine Hamilton (Shadowrun. No fic yet.)
8) Nicolas Willoughby (Original derived from Ravenloft. Um...yes. Anyway, fic: Endgame, Too Far, Breath)
9) Clara (As yet untitled. No fic.)
10) Rose Lucas (Mage. Just one little ficlet: Silver Bells)
11) Ralca Coldevdon (Mirsis. No fic.)
12) J.J. Bellamy (Untitled work in progress. I may post snippets in a bit; we'll see. I may need some beta-ing.)



01. Who would make a better college prof., 6 or 11?

Oh god, Arthur teaching college? That would be...interesting. I can't even imagine what he'd teach. Shakespeare? *evil grin* Regardless, Ralca doesn't have the training, but she's got the temperament.

02. Do you think 2 is hot? How hot?

Not really, gender preference aside. Looks have never been one of Anya's long suits. Not that she particularly cares.

03. 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?

Haha. I don't even know if J.J. would speak to Nicolas, under most conditions. But Nicolas would probably end up getting sent to retrieve one of J.J.'s wayward siblings, as they all tend to keep wandering off. If given the proper resources, Nicolas could take care of it.

04. What is or would be 9's favorite book?

Clara doesn't have a lot of time for leisure reading, I'm afraid, so she probably doesn't have one.

05. Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6 , or the other way around?

HA. I can't imagine either of them swearing fealty to anyone, much less one another. They'd just end up beating one another to a pulp.

06. For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should (s)he share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10?

This is a no brainer. Though Rose would probably trash the place with partying occasionally, there is no way Tahar should be sharing an apartment with someone who is a vehicle for an evil meglomaniac. For many, many reasons.

07. 2 , 7 and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?

Oh dear. Well, they'd clearly go to either Sabine's setting or J.J's, as they're both pretty cyberpunk-ish. Poor Sabine would be trying to have a nice, pleasant dinner, but J.J. and Anya would just get into comparing weaponry and talking about detection. Though Sabine could easily keep up with a weapons discussion, she'd probably get bored and just go hack into a webgame of some sort.

08. 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?

Oo, they'd probably be a pretty even match, depending on where they fought. But Rose has guns and time magic, and can use them in conjunction. Though Zoy has fireballs. So I'd say it depends on who got first shot. But if Zoyala's doing the challenging, she's got to be fairly pissed off, so I'd give her the slight edge on this one.

09. If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would she/he get it back?

Wow, that's such a likely scenario. Well, he would most likely enlist his parents' collective detection skills to find Gabrielle and then, very calmly, explain to her that she can either return his property or he can begin removing fingers. She will find this an extremely reasonable position, and return the item immediately.

10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.

"Family Ties"

11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?

Gabrielle is in some deep shit, and decides to skip town for awhile. She runs into Dominic and offers to help him with his resistance effort in exchange for his protection from any pesky law officers that should enquire on her behalf.

12. If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?

I think we'd actually have a fairly good time. She'd probably find me a tad boring, but she might get me to go clubbing, which is a feat in itself, and would have a grand time fiddling around with my "antique" technology.

13. If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?

If she could pop in and teleport me to Indy and back several times a semester, that would be fantastic.

14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11?

Clearly a question left over from an incarnation where this wasn't about O.C.s. No, though a couple of my other characters get borrowed from time to time.

15. If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?

Oh dear. Anya gets to choose between a noble half-elf paladin and a noble half-elf bard? >.< She'd probably choose Dominic, actually, because even if he's too noble for his own good, he's a competent fighter and he's not so damn cheerful all the time.

16. What might 10 shout while charging into battle?

...cowabunga? She was a Turtles fan back in the day, after all.

17. If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?

"Wise Up" - Aimee Mann

18. 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?

J.J. wouldn't even try for it. Arthur'd reach to take it without asking, then Gabrielle would reach over and kiss him. He'd be so surprised, he wouldn't even notice when she stole the pancake off his plate. Until she broke the kiss a started eating it.

19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?

Anya wouldn't be caught dead using a pick up line on anyone, much less a skinny 19-year-old with odd hair who spends most of her time humming, thank you very much.

20. What would 5 most likely be arrested for?

Arrest Tahar? Who would be so heartless? Um...probably disturbing the peace, poor man.

21. What is 6's secret?

Just one? He slept with his best friend's wife, and his friend never found out. I've got a list, though.

22. If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?

Ralca usually would, but if Clara really wanted to get there first, she'd put Racla out of commission, and then take her own sweet time.

23. If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7or 8?

Hard choice - they'd both make good bodyguards. Probably Nicolas, though, as he relies more on physical strength and speed. Sabine's good, but take her out of her setting and she looses half her resources.

24. 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 he/she 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?

To paraphrase:
Gabrielle and Clara reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by Dominic's sinister secret organization. Ralca volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that he/she is actually a spy for Dom. Meanwhile, Dom has kidnapped J.J. in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of Tahar, they seek out Zoy, who gives them what they need to complete their quest.

"Someone Obviously Doesn't Care About Canon"

I mean, honestly. The Paladins are evil? Clearly by "saving the world," Clara and Gabby mean "Let's take it over and then split the loot." Why Zoy would help them do this escapes me.
