character meme

Word count:
Project:

Yeah, yeah, clocked in at NaNo with 160k. I'll update officially later.



1. Megan
2. Adalee
3. Ana
4. Reqel
5. JD
6. Tyler
7. Jaaren
8. Jarik
9. Adam
10. Jase
11. Drew
12. Analinn

1. Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11?

Drew. He's a total nerd. Although I'd rather take classes from Tyler. Can't guarantee I'd learn anything, though, and hell if I know what Tyler would actually teach. Drew would teach magic theory or history, easily. Tyler... How To Hack Your Best Friend's Email Address 402 (401 being the prereq that you must be a hot girl), and How To Nearly Crash Dance Studios 101?

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

Nah. She's pretty average looking, although she can clean up pretty. ("Thanks.")

3. 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?

HAAAA. "Go get me some french fries." Of course he succeeds. When she asks for french fries, he drops everything because it means he'll get laid later.

4. What is or would be 9's favourite book?

The Anarchist's Cookbook. Either for ideas or the lulz.

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

Tyler would swear to Adalee, because Tyler is a lazy, passive bastard and Adalee will soon have enough firepower under her giddy little finger to blow up a small city. He would also consider that hot, once he got over the "talking to animals" thing.

6. For whatever reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should 5 share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10?

JD with Adam or Jase. Hold on while I process this.

JD + Adam = lots of alcohol consumed, probably nothing gets too broken/blown up.
JD + Jase = lots of bitching about legitimately crazy exes.

I think JD would go insane either way, but Adam's saner and probably the safer bet.

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

Adalee, Jaaren, and Analinn. Well, because it's Adalee and Jaaren, they will talk shop and generally be societal hazards. Analinn will be intrigued and join in somehow because she's savvy and graceful like that. When they find out Analinn doesn't exactly obey social norms herself, the topic will embrace all sorts of Hijinks Ensue stories.

And they'll go out for cheeseburgers. Naturally.

8. 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?

This would be an EPIC fanfic if done right. Ana v. Jase. I'm... kind of tempted to write it myself. In a vacuum, Jase kicks her ass in two seconds and goes back to his milkshake or whatever. In reality, you end up with Ana's death-magic-wielding boyfriend on her side. Everything else is a clusterfuck. Reqel loves Ana like a sister, but it's Jase and she can't let Drew kill him, because that's her privilege. Adam is torn between his baby sister and his girlfriend the love of his life (good grief Adam), says fuck it, and goes straight to the Echelon to make them all knock it the fuck off. Until then, Drew actually wins. Death magic for the win! (But why the fuck would Ana challenge Jase to ANY kind of duel? Ana lives in healthy fear of Jase.)

9. If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would 8 get it back?

Uh... I'm not sure how Megan would steal Analinn. However she did it, Jarik would probably just call Analinn's cell phone and tell her to come home already/go get her if needed. Seriously, the only thing I can think of is Megan and Analinn going like... perfume shopping. It's that ridiculous.

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

Jaaren and Analinn. Um... I am honestly drawing a blank. Jaaren wants to be a borderline reclusive badass Pokemon trainer. Analinn wants to never get fucked by world politics again. "Eye of the Storm?"

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

Reqel and Megan. And they'd both be more than happy to eliminate in some way their associates' crazy exes. (Cass and Mel have been served proper warning.)

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

Not bad. Probably a lot of sleeping in and dog training/running around outside.

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

Geez. Ana? I don't know, fire dance. She can at least fake that.

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

Nope. No one draws/write anything.

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

Adalee has to pick between Reqel and JD. She'd respect Reqel's supernatural "I casts the spells that makes the peoples fall down" ability and throw her lot that way.

16. What might 10 shout while charging into battle?

Jase would like you to know that he does not charge, he sneaks, and generally unless he's trying to terrify you first, you don't know you're dead until you're wondering why you're staring Zultanna in the smirking eyes because YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL ADAM, SHE LOVES ME TOO. (Reqel: she loves all the crazies; he's still more special than you.) But if he had to say something, it'd probably be "Sparky, get the door." Y'know, to imply that he is actually cooperating with Reqel, and that there is no escape.

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

Jarik? Oh, what was that song he liked awhile back... Bullet Proof Skin -Institute, and Got It Made -Theory of a Deadman.

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?

(Megan, Tyler, Analinn.) Analinn is more likely to stab with a fork and grab with her hand. Megan and Tyler would just look at each other and shrug, and Tyler would just order more. Megan would pick off the leftovers and play her Girlfriend > Bromance card when Tyler complained.

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

Adalee on Jase? Uh... "I'm bored, wanna fuck?" *facepalm*

And he would probably go for it.

20. What would 5 most likely be arrested for?

JD? Hardcore pranking Mel's house, probably, with Tyler's help. Megan, ironically, wouldn't risk the exposure.

21. What is 6's secret?

Good question. I'm not sure.

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

Drew versus Adam. Adam, probably, because he knows his way around better right now. But if it's while Drew's still a ghost, then Drew wins by merit of not having to deal with traffic or physical barriers. Which Adam counters by arguing that he spent a LONGER time incorporeal. I think it's basically Adam, just through familiarity. And Adam can, you know, drive.

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

I don't know, does Jaaren get to keep his Pokemon? I love Jarik, and he doesn't take prisoners, but...

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 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?

So, that is: Megan and Adam reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by Reqel's sinister organisation. Drew volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that he is a spy for Reqel. Meanwhile, Reqel has kidnapped Analinn in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of JD, they seek out Ana, who gives them what they need to complete their quest.

1. Adam would never in his life team up against Reqel.
2. Reqel having any kind of functional organization, let alone sinister, is hilariously laughable. She is not the "brains." That is Adam.
3. Drew actually would volunteer, and might get scared into spying for Reqel. True enough.
4. Analinn has nothing to do with this, and non-magical or not she is FUCKING TIRED OF THE POLITICAL KIDNAPPINGS HOLY SHIT. (To which Ana says stfu.)
5. JD would give that advice, actually, because Ana's solution would be to distract Reqel with Jase and then he can drag Megan back off to where she belongs. Everyone wins.
6. Except that who the fuck KNOWS what Reqel and Jase would end up doing. And Adam may not win.

Title: Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies.
