faith_of_borg, and is a gen version of the pairings meme that's been going around her Friends List a LOT.
The Rules
First, write down the names of 12 characters. Then read and answer the questions. You can't look at the questions (or click on the cut) until you write down the 12 characters you're going to use.
One: Peter Rasputin
Two: Kurt Wagner
Three: Kitty Pryde
Four: Rachel Summers-Grey
Five: Dick Grayson
Six: Barbara Gordon
Seven: Tim Drake
Eight: Cassandra Cain
Nine: Malcolm Reynolds
Ten: Zoe Warren
Eleven: Hoban Washburn
Twelve: Inara Serra
Which would make a better college professor, 6 or 11? What subjects would they teach?
Babs or Wash? Um, can I have a minute to think this over? ;)
Babs, naturally. I always thought of Wash as being a more intuitive-fixer person than a knower-of-everything like Babs.
Do you think 4 is hot? How hot?
Well, yes, she is, after all, a Phoenix :lol: And she must be hot, considering how little costume she has these days *minor grumble about lack-of-subtlety in costuming*
12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Inara sends Cass on a mission? I think I've created a new branch of fanfic :P
Probably something where an amount of discretion and severe botty-kicking are needed, and Inara needs to be seen to be elsewhere.
What is or would be 9's favourite book?
Mal's favourite book? The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester.
Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
Kurt to Babs or Babs to Kurt?
Let's think about that a second. ;)
In Context Free Theatre land, Kurt would swear fealty to Babs if he valued his life - it'd probably be a good idea even if our version wasn't a Napoleonic Power Monger...
Kurt seems to be comfortable out of the spotlight of command anyway.
For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should 5 share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10?
Dick Grayson, looking to share with Mal or Zoe?
I say Mal, just to get those little moments of discomfort when Dick catches Mal talking to Inara. Or Mal catches Dick talking to Clancy (or Babs). Mweh heh heh.
7, 2 and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Tim Drake, Kurt Wagner and Inara Serra having dinner. I see Inara introducing the boys to a high-class restaurant (the kind whereBruce Wayne's Tim's credit card would come in handy) and conversation? World(s) travel, similarities between certain people in their lives...
3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
Kitty Pryde challenges Zoe to a duel?
Warrior versus Ninja. Much fast paced spinning with swords and rifles. Zoe would probably be more ruthless, but Kitty's got phasing working for her.
If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would 8 get it back?
Peter Rasputin steals Cassandra Cain's most precious possession?
Ouch.
Armour up, Colossus, armour up now! That young mutant is in for a world of pain, for he has just stolen from the most capable martial artist of her world. Trained from birth in body language to be a more efficient fighter since birth, to the exclusion of all else, including speech. How is Batgirl going to get her possession back - need I say more?
Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
Tim and Inara. Hmmm..
Just tell me.
What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
Rachel and Peter? Well, Kitty going missing would be a good start, and both start searching for her. Probably starting by getting under eachother's feet - can someone please fast-forward House Of M so we can get back to normal stories and we see how Rachel adjusts to Peter's being back from the dead (I mean, better than the extended sulk in the last regular ish) - until they decide to pool their resources.
If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Me and Tim Drake? Ah, probably like a house on fire. We could spend all weekend reading comics and eating all the things Alfred wouldn't allow in the house :lol:
Tim: Got any more Generation X comics? There's something familiar about this Jubilee...
If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
Kitty? Hmmm.... *cough* Next question, please?
Honestly, I can't think of anything. :angel:
Hey, get your minds out of the gutters!
Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11?
Stories with Wash in them? As in Firefly/Serenity tales? Fanfic? Dunno. Professionally? Knocking on wood for a yes. :D
Ah, handy, the desk is made of wood *knockknockknock*
If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
Kurt choosing between Rachel and Dick. Well, given that they're from the same universe and all (and a possible relationship if the writers ever remember) I'd say he'd be choosing Rachel.
What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
Zoe? Since I have zero memory, I'm not going so much with the shouting, as the trading witty rejoinders back and forth, "Big damn heroes" style.
If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
Didn't I already pike out of this question last time?
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?
Peter, Babs and Inara? Well, Peter is polite enough to leave it for his dinner companions. Companion graces versus Bat-glare and reflexes...
What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
Kurt and Zoe? Not sure. Preferably something out of Wash's earshot.
What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
Nightwing? Well, wearing a costume in Gotham for one (assuming he isn't shot on sight). Various mob-related crimes while undercover. Whatever anti-vigilante groups can pin on him.
What is 6's secret?
Babs? Well, the whole Batgirl thing has been her secret (I notice we still don't know if she's actually told her father yet). Plus the whole world-domination thing too. ;)
If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Mal and Wash? Well, Wash'd be driving them both. :P
On foot? Probably Mal, with his history. Plus he gets off the ship and into sticky situations more.
3 and 7 tell conflicting versions of events. Which is more reliable?
Kitty Pryde and Tim Drake? Possibly Kitty, since if she got obsessed enough she'd find out all she could about an event until she got to the truth.
"1 (Peter Rasputin) and 9 (Malcolm Reynolds) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's (Rachel Grey) sinister secret organization. 11 (Wash) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that 11 is actually a spy for 4. Meanwhile, 4 has kidnapped 12 (Inara) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (Dick Grayson), they seek out 3 (Kitty Pryde), who gives them what they need to complete their quest." What title would you give this fic?
The Turn of the Knife.
Name three people on your friends list who might read it.
Are you reading this now? You're it! ;)
Name one person who should write it.
Any volunteers? Anyone? Anyone?
Bueller?
If you had to walk home through a bad neighbourhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?
Tim or Cass? Cass. Definitely Cass. Not to discourage Robin, but I explained above about Batgirl's prowess.

Yes, if Peter did this, he would have to be having another death wish.
Me and Tim Drake? Ah, probably like a house on fire. We could spend all weekend reading comics and eating all the things Alfred wouldn't allow in the house :lol:
That's true. Tim would also have to smuggle food from your house to the manor--of course, Alfred would know. :D
no subject
Date: 2005-09-26 02:42 pm (UTC)Timher most valuable possession slung over her shoulder.And of course Alfred knows. He always knows! :D Even more than Batman would...
no subject
Date: 2005-09-26 02:45 pm (UTC)And if Colossus went back to human form after Cass was done? He might bleed to death. (Happened once in an old issue of Uncanny X-Men. At the same time Kitty was kidnapped by The Morlocks and forced to marry Caliban, I believe.)
no subject
Date: 2005-09-26 02:49 pm (UTC)I'm seeing Batman following the food trail - and joining Tim in a pig-out session on all the stuff they can't normally have :lol:
And the thing about armour was re-visited recently in Exiles - Calvin was severly injured in armoured form - so badly he'd die if he shifted back, and had to be put into stasis until he could get a better healing factor to mimic.
no subject
Date: 2005-09-26 02:51 pm (UTC)If Alfred isn't home, he would definitely do that. :lol:
And I think I remember that issue of Exiles. It's in one of the trades, I believe.
no subject
Date: 2005-09-26 03:46 pm (UTC)Unless...
Are you thinking of earlier in the series, trade 3 or abouts, where he's caught in an explosion to kill Namor and his armour is superheated, and he has to wait until it cools down before he can shift back?
