Oct. 15th, 2007 09:14 pmSo, been back at Uni and a postgrad student for almost two weeks (one week of seminars) so far. Different. Yet the same.
May blab later.
12 questions meme now.
Tired.
1) D
2) Youko
3) Balsa
4) Miles
5) Hiro
6) Ryu
7) Ryuuki
8) Claire Bennet
9) River
10) Kaiba
11) Shuurei
12) Taiki
1. Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11?
Ryu or Shuurei? No question, Shuurei. She's aleady got prior experience what with the temple school and, damn, Shuurei shaping the minds of the future? So there.
2. Do you think 4 is hot? How hot?
Miles. Ack. Um. In a purely shallow, body type way? Not exactly. In a sheer force of personality, charisma, smarter than you sneaky dwarf way? Hot DAMN yeah.
3. 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Taiki sends Claire on a mission? Oh, err. Um, to pick some flowers to brighten up Tai Palace in a way that involves absolute zero bodily pain at all? (Kirin not quite the right person to take advantage of that invulnerability thing!)
4. What is or would be 9's favorite book?
River? Derrida's On Grammatology 'cause it would probably be a nice relaxing summer read for her. (Needs a broken brain to understand the bloody thing)
5. Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
Youko to Ryu? Um. tricky. Youko's an Empress with an actual country to rule whereas while Ryu's a prince he'd be more likely to agree with her policies than she with his. So probably be Ryu to Youko, if Ryu could ever be persuaded to bend his proud neck to anyone.
6. For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should s/he share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10?
Hiro sharing with either 9 or 10? River, has to be, although what space and time will look like after their first slumber party I wouldn't want to say...
7. 2, 7 and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Youko, Ryuuki and Taiki? Hmmm. Well, they'd probably choose to go to a cheap and cheerful street stall but unfortunatly their advisors would most likely find out about it before they all managed to sneak off and world make them go to some appropriate, high end discrete restaurant. And they'd discuss ruling empires and how best to help people and possible alliances and trade agreements until they got onto the subject of how to get one's most valued advisor/emperor to see that a relationship would not mean the end of the Empire.
8. 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
Balsa challenges Kaiba to a duel?! Uh, after a close fight Balsa whops Kaiba's ass, and then Kaiba tries to hire her as a bodyguard for Mokuba.
9. If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would s/he get it back?
If D stole Claire's most precious possession? Don't think Claire has many of those left now... Well whatever it is D and Mr Bennet would go all morally grey at each other and in the distraction Chris would hand it back to Claire.
10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
Ryuuki and Taiki? How to Make Your Most Valued Advisor/Emperor Realise the Future of the Empire Does Not Depend on Them Not Tearing Your Clothes of With Their Teeth and Making Hot, Passionate Monkey Love to You All Night Long in Ten Easy Steps.
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
D and Miles? Um, the Dendarii are tracking down a strange and exotic creation of Jackson's Whole - D wriggles his way in.
12. If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
Ryuuki's an easy going sweety so it'd probably be fine, except even he might get tired of telling childhood memories of Seien-aniue for me to squeal over.
13. If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
Balsa. Um... I'm not currently in need of a bodyguard (I hope) so... Let me watch you fight? Over and over and over and over, like Dragonball Z length fights 'cause this is one series where I wish they would spend that long on the fight scenes. (gorgeous)
14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11?
Shuurei. Oh yes.
15. If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
Youko picking between Miles and Hiro? Um... she might be more inclined to go for Hiro since he's very like Rakshun in some ways. Also Miles is a representative of a foreign power and probably being sneaky.
16. What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
"SCREW THE RULES, I HAVE MONEY!"
17. If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?

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?
D, Ryu and Kazuki. D would immediatley defer to the kirin. Ryu would do the same, cause it would be bad manners to steal from a kid. Taiki would blushingly protest, trying to offer it to everyone else and Ryu and D would try for ages to get him to take it. Eventually Taiki would insist they cut it into three equal shares and the other two, exhausted by the argument, would agree with him.
19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
Youko to use on Kaiba? "Want to discuss trade agreements for my vast, unexploited Empire with me?"
20. What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
By the Time Lords, for bending the space-time continuum
21. What is 6's secret?
Ryu. Uh, big spoiler thingy.
22. If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Shuurei and River? River, cause she definetly beats Shuurei on the physical fitness scale. Plus she has a spaceship.
23. 3 and 7 tell conflicting versions of events. Which is more reliable?
Balsa and Ryuuki? I don't know, both are pretty trustworthy... But Ryuuki has been known to bend the truth, both in casual situations and as part of playing politics while Balsa is straightforwardly honest.
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 11 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? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it?
"D and River reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by Miles' sinister secret organisation. Shuurei volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that Shuurei is actually a spy for Miles. Meanwhile, Miles has kidnapped Taiki in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of Hiro, they seek out Balsa, who gives them what they need to complete their quest."
"Save the Spearwoman, Save the World?" D and River make an awesome combo though. I have no idea who would write it.
25. If you had to walk home through a bad neighbourhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?
Ryuuki or Claire? Hmm, probably Ryuuki. He has sword skills and while Claire might be indestructible that's not much help to me.

Date: 2007-10-16 03:21 pm (UTC)I highly encourage Item 10's production, and I don't think that Ryuuki could possibly get tired of telling Seien-aniue stories in the course of a single weekend. ;-) Maybe if you had him at it for a few weeks, but it might just be that he'd run out of stories, since they weren't together for that long, after all.
