shirenomadBut here's my answers to this meme.
1) Alphonse Elric, "Full Metal Alchemist"
2) Hoban "Wash" Washburne, "Firefly"
3) Darkwing Duck, "Darkwing Duck"
4) Rumiko Tanaka, "Fans!"
5) Milly Thompson, "Trigun"
6) Aeris Gainsborough, "Final Fantasy VII"
7) Delenn, "Babylon 5"
8) Minsc, "Baldur's Gate"
9) Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga, "Azumanga Daioh"
10) O-Ren Ishii, "Kill Bill"
11) Stewie Griffin, "Family Guy"
12) Data, "Star Trek"
13) Indiana Jones, "Indiana Jones"
14) Hermione Granger, "Harry Potter"
15) Gaius Baltar, "Battlestar Galactica" (remake)
1 (Al), 4 (Rumy), 5 (Milly), and 9 (Osaka) are playing Cities and Knights of Catan. What colors would they pick, what strategies would they use, who would win, and who would overturn the table in frustration?
Al nabs green, Rumy blue, Milly white, and Osaka stares confused before realizing she's left with red. Al tries to build his original cities up as fast as possible with some heavy trading, Rumy uses strategic placement of settlements and knights to cut off key resources for herself, and Milly is the first to hook up to a port. Osaka... has to be reminded it's her turn on a regular basis, frequently lets her hand drift over capacity, and seems to be placing her roads and settlements at random. It's for that reason, not for losing the game, that Rumy finally gets fed up and up-ends the board (much to the complaints of Al, who was one victory point short of winning).
Where would 7 (Delenn) have a romantic getaway? If s/he had to pick either 11 (Stewie), 12 (Data), or 13 (Indy) for a date, who would be picked?
Delenn would likely pick Indy, who sort of reminds her of Sheridan, but to Indy's disappointment, a "romantic getaway" largely involves a lot of meditating at a temple amidst nature. At least the Minbar countryside is gorgeous, not to mention the company...
2 (Wash), 3 (Darkwing), 6 (Aeris), and 8 (Minsc) are all trapped in a room. Which one resorts to cannibalism first? Which one lasts to the end?
Wash and Minsc both start discussing recipes for duck pretty fast, but Minsc is the one to actually club poor Drake over the head in his sleep (to Aeris' distress, but he's already partially digested when she wakes up, so no chance of a Life spell helping now). All three survivors then try to draw the line at eating human, but a starving Wash finally makes the mistake of trying to fry up Boo, which puts Minsc in berserker mode, and suddenly he's the only one left standing.
10 (O-Ren): If male, boxers or briefs? Or, if female, one or two-piece swimsuit? If a cross-dresser, forget I asked.
She owns her own private beach, not to mention a hot spring, and if she wants to enjoy either of those in the nude, well that's none of your business!
14 (Hermione) has a three month subscription to either City of Heroes or World of Warcraft. Which is it?
The magic system in WoW is totally ridiculous, elves don't look like that at all, and centaurs are not bloodthirsty! She realizes it was designed by people with no knowledge of the wizard world, but she just can't bring herself to play along when she knows how the real thing works. CoH, definitely... and not a magic hero.
Is 15 (Baltar) annoyed I haven't used him or her yet?
Frankly, he's happy to stay under the radar.
Since these next two sets of questions were asked directly to the characters, they will respond in turn.
#7 (Delenn): Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?
Delenn: *confused look* What? Ambassador Kosh, is that you?
#11 (Stewie), 3 (Darkwing), 9 (Osaka), and 10 (O-Ren): Who would win a fight if all of you fought?
O-Ren: ...is this a joke? You've put me up against a toddler, a spaced-out schoolgirl (who doesn't have a razor-edged ball-and-chain), and a duck.
Darkwing: That's Darkwing Duck. The terror that flaps in the night! Now suck gas, evil-doer!
Osaka: Anou... what's going...?
Stewie: *draws a plasma pistol and vaporizes them all* Well, that was a totally unnecessary display, but at least I was able to give this a good field test. On to Washington!
#1 (Al) and 2 (Wash): Would you two kiss if I gave you a dollar?
Wash: Err, married.
Al: No lips.
Wash: Also, he's underage. Would on the cheek count? I might do that.
#5 (Milly), 12 (Data), and 14 (Hermione): If you are not already superheroes, what would your superhero names be?
Milly: I'm already "Stun-gun Milly"; does that work?
Data: I would be "The Incredibly Precise Positronic Man."
Hermione: Comics are a waste of time -- so many better things to read -- but if you insist... "Arcana."
#13 (Indy): Do you have good or bad luck?
Indy: When you've survived what I have... suppose I'm pretty damn lucky. Though I'd be even more lucky if I'd stop running into all these crazy looters in the first place!
#4 (Rumy) and 6 (Aeris): You've both ordered a pizza, and you have to agree on toppings. What would said toppings be?
Aeris: They'd have to be all-natural. Vegetables, preferably.
Rumy: I'm fine with that. How about red and green peppers? Give it a little color?
Aeris: And artichoke hearts?
Rumy: I've never tried those. But they might be interesting.
#8 (Minsc) and 15 (Baltar): If you two had a baby together, what would you name it?
Minsc: Our child will need an impressive name to strike fear into all evil that faces him! We shall call him "The Most Mighty and Heroic Lion-Hearted Ed"!
Baltar: *frantically to empty space* It's not my child, really! I don't even know this maniac!
Minsc: Strange, you speak, but there is no person to speak to! Boo finds this odd behavior!
#4 (Rumy), 8 (Minsc), and 15 (Baltar): If I told you what your numbers were, and that I was going to set you up with the hypothetical #s 16, 23, and 42, would any of you care?
Me: After asking for clarification, I think I know what he's talking about. He's asking whether any of you three have ever been stranded on a bizarre Pacific island...
Baltar: No, just a Battlestar. *murmuring to thin air* But that would be a lovely place to fantasize about, wouldn't it? Would you wear a thong bikini, a grass skirt, or just nothing at all?
Minsc: Minsc, Boo, and friends once spent a few weeks shipwrecked on an island with werewolves. Boo doesn't know what those numbers have to do with anything, though; math was never his strong point.
Rumy: Oh, that island? The FIB located and cataloged it about a month ago. We have the survivors in therapy. I could show you the report...
Millions of Lost fans: NO SPOILERS!
If 3 (Darkwing) and 11 (Stewie) got into a deathmatch (no holds barred, any sneaky tactics are acceptable), who would win?
Teep sort of stole this question. Same as above, minus the argument; Darkwing wouldn't know what to make of a toddler as an opponent until said toddler blew him away. The only thing that would save him would be if a plasma pistol merely left him with a comically-blackened head and a cough of smoke... but even then, he'd still try to stop short of actually killing anyone.
Suppose that 2 (Wash), 5 (Milly), and 10 (O-Ren) all had a dinner party together. 2 (Wash) is responsible for food, 5 (Milly) is responsible for the music (as appropriate or inappropriate as the genre may be...), and 10 (O-Ren) is responsible for the movie that they'll watch afterwards. (Assume that this is all set up so they have some equal contribution in monetary or time form.) What would they each pick?
Wash shows up with a pot of stew, to O-Ren's annoyance, and Milly puts in a CD of something peppy and childish, to O-Ren's downright irritation, and if O-Ren didn't have Seven Samurai on a plasma screen to calm herself down afterwards, violence might possibly have ensued.
1 (Al), 7 (Delenn), 9 (Osaka), and 12 (Data) are playing Monopoly. Who takes which playing piece? :)
Al goes for the car immediately; yay engineering. Delenn considers and then takes the cowboy, the most "sentient" of them. Data recognizes that the game piece doesn't affect the outcome of the game at all, so he randomly selects the wheelbarrow, then comments on the oddity that it matters to anyone else. Osaka is completely indecisive for about five minutes while Al and Delenn do their best to be patient; she finally takes the dog because it reminds her of Tadakichi-san.
