Okay, some of these can be kinda fun. I did this one because I am sad and like TV too much. Anyways, nad141993 does some great ones, and did this one character one for Reaper: Pick 10 characters of your favorite fandom & answer the questions :3 Nad's turned out hilarious. I'll link it at the end. I'm not gonna post it verbatim here though, 'cuz knowing someone else's order kinda ruins it for you. I recommend if you wanna try it, DO NOT READ THE QUESTIONS FIRST. Make your list of 10 characters. It works even better if you REALLY mess up the order. When you've got your list: 1. If #4 and #9 go to the cinema, what film would they choose? Popcorn or sweets?
2. #1, #3 and #10 are baking a cake together. What sort of cake are they making? Will it taste good?
3. You wake up in the middle of the night and see #2 and #7 fighting. #2 lies on the ground injured. How will #7 react and what are you doing?
4. #8 makes a mix tape for #4. What songs does he/she choose?
5. Describe #5 in one word.
6. How does #3 show his/her love for #10?
7. #2 is pregnant. Who is the father?
8. #7 betrays #3 with #1, who's in a relationship with #10. #4 admits to you that he/she likes #7. What is your first reaction?
9. What would happen if #9 and #5 were catapulted into the Middle Ages?
.
10. #2 has depression. What will #8 do to help him/her?
11. #6, #3 and #9 are drunk and pass by a Love Hotel. What will happen next?
12. Will #6 be a good president?
13. #8 is now a member of Scientology...
14. And #1 is Miss Universe...
15. #4, #2 and #10 are sitting in the same train compartment.
16. What lies on #5, #6 and #7's nightstands?
17. How is #3's life?
18. #2 and #6 have a child together. How does #7 react?
19. What's in the bathroom of #8?
20. #1 and #4 are participating in the Olympic Games. Which sport do they choose and are they successful? And who will come to encourage them?
21. You are coming home from a hard day and find #1 and #6 on your bed. Feeding each other strawberries. You...?
22. Why do you hate #5?
23. You see #10 cry. Why is he/she crying? Put your answers either under spoilerfont, or at your LJ. (You can make your character list viewable if you want.) Click here for nad's hilarious results. |

'K, I did the TV one and that was a lot of work. Fortunately I was able to use some of Blue's answers. Like her, I put in a lot of Reaper, but not like it's going to be read by many people who don't already watch ( Blue, and maybe pace. To quote one of weasel's funnier lines "Hope you enjoy it, all both of you"). Next up, nad141993's. ETA: ooh. I think this one might come out more like fanfic. Wait and see... |

1. Andi 2. Josie 3. Mr. Oliver 4. Sam 5. Kyle 6. Ben 7. Mrs. Oliver 8. Devil 9. Sock 10. Ted Okay, that was *quite* a bit of fun, even if it took forever to do it. I really liked thinking about the characters! Here's mine: 1. If Sock and Sam go to the cinema, what film would they choose? Popcorn or sweets?I don't think it's so much a matter of what THEY would choose. I think it'd be more what Sock would decide and push Sam into. And that would be anything with tightly-dressed (or completely undressed) women in it - preferably brandishing guns. Food? Sock would choose everything...and Sam would be the one paying for it.  2. Andi, Mr. Oliver, and Ted are baking a cake together. What sort of cake are they making? Will it taste good?This one was tough, mainly because I suspect Andi and Ted would actually cook (unlike Sam and Sock, who would just make Jell-O). Since the only time I can think of them getting together to make something would be a holiday, then I'm going to say gingerbread - possibly for a Gingerbread House. And yeah, it'd taste good. BTW - Mr. Oliver had long since been banished from the kitchen by the other two who were actually trying to work.  3. You wake up in the middle of the night and see Josie and Mrs. Oliver fighting. Josie lies on the ground injured. How will Mrs. Oliver react and what are you doing?Let's just say that considering what she *might* be, I'm gonna run. 4. The Devil makes a mix tape for Sam. What songs does he/she choose?AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAAHA! The idea of this is too hilarious to even think of anything. I'd say something about maybe pain and torture, but honestly, with the Devil's sense of humor, Sam'd probably get something on the order of "Devil in a Blue Dress" and/or "Wild Thing". 5. Describe Kyle in one word.Retconned. 6. How does Mr. Oliver show his/her love for Ted?I'm not sure he loves Ted, considering he lets his "sleepy" son work for him. ;D Though it's possible he shows his love by letting him punish Sam with Dog of the Month duties. 7. Josie is pregnant. Who is the father?Sock! I'd say why, but this is a family forum. 8. Mrs. Oliver betrays Mr. Oliver with Andi, who's in a relationship with Ted. Sam admits to you that he/she likes Mrs. Oliver. What is your first reaction?They all need therapy. Especially Andi. 9. What would happen if Sock and Kyle were catapulted into the Middle Ages?Oh oh oh! Has anyone ever seen Voyagers! Kyle would totally be Jeffrey, and Sock would be Phineas Bogg - only his Bogg would be more like, well... Sock. Poor Kyle. 10. Josie has depression. What will the Devil do to help him/her?Too bad it isn't Sam with the depression. The Devil would send him a hooker. Josie, though? Hmm. The Devil would know Josie's too smart to sign a contract, and I don't think he notices her anyways. So I'll say he'll do nothing. 11. Ben, Mr. Oliver, and Sock are drunk and pass by a Love Hotel. What will happen next?Lemme just say this starts out much like a Priest, a Rabbi, and a Minister all walk into a bar, only in this case it's a Priest, a Sinner, and a Doofus.... 12. Will Ben be a good president?I'd love to say yes, since he has the most amount of sense out of the trio, but he kinda wigs in danger. I don't want a president who tears up everytime something sad or awww-ing happens. 13. The Devil is now a member of Scientology...Ha! He probably invented it himself so that the wicked would have yet another way to justify their actions. 14. And Andi is Miss Universe...Not a surprise here. Girl is gorgeous. 15. Sam, Josie, and Ted are sitting in the same train compartment. I feel very sorry for Sam. 16. What lies on Kyle, Ben, and Mrs. Oliver's nightstands?Kyle: A book on Youngest Child Syndrome, a box of kleenex, and a journal that only repeats WHY NOT ME? Truthfully though, probably just a couple of school books that he fell asleep while studying. Ben: Sam's stolen alarm clock, and a rosary. Mrs. Oliver: Hmm. She's pretty Donna Reed. I'm thinking dainty lamp, a clock that *isn't* digital, and some chick book. Maybe one of Oprah's. I kinda think she and Ben have that in common. She'd hide her copy of How To Raise A Demonic Child To Be Good and The Secrets to Secret-Keeping where no one else would find it. 17. How is Mr. Oliver's life?Uhhh...Hopefully S2 will explain this little mystery themselves... ;D 18. Josie and Ben have a child together. How does Mrs. Oliver react?Has Mrs. Oliver even met Josie and Ben? 19. What's in the bathroom of the Devil?The Devil doesn't have his own bathroom. He messes up everyone elses (like he did in Charged). 20. Andi and Sam are participating in the Olympic Games. Which sport do they choose and are they successful? And who will come to encourage them?Sam? In the Olympics? In what reality? I'd say track, but he'd be successful only if a soul was chasing him. Andi: Definitely track - and not the wussy track either. There'd be hurdles, long jumps, pole vaults, and marathons involved. Yes, she'd be successful, and yes, Sam would suffer from boredom during her events as he dutifully stays and watches every single minute. 21. You are coming home from a hard day and find Andi and Ben on your bed. Feeding each other strawberries. You...?Wow. Ben's quite the secret Casanova. He's supposed to be having a kid with Josie! And Andi belongs with Sam!!! 22. Why do you hate Kyle?He doesn't like Sam! Who could not adore Sam? 23. You see Ted cry. Why is he/she crying? Duh. Does this really need an answer? |

I finished the Character Meme and combined my various posts into one. You can also read it at LJ. This was fun, Extra effort to make these half-drabbles, 3/4 drabbles, drabbles. Even though I dislike the term "drabble." As always, bits of inspiration from everyone here. 1) Andi 2) Ben 3) Devil 4) Gladys 5) Josie 6) Sam 7) Sock 8) Steve 9) Ted 10) Tony 1. If 4 and 9 go to the cinema, what film would they choose? Popcorn or sweets?
"Ms. Damone, I’m pleased you won the Work Bench prize drawing. It is my pleasure, as Branch Manager, to escort you to this movie of your choice."
"Mmhmm." Gladys looks slightly less than pleased. But, free movie. And she'd wanted to see the new James Bond.
"May I offer you something from the Refreshment Center? Candy? Popcorn?" Gladys’s eyes narrow. "I prefer my snacks…salty."
Ted steeples his hands. "Popcorn it is, then. Perhaps you won’t take it amiss if we share a large size? It’s quite a bit more economical."
The two settle in their seats, Gladys resting the bucket of popcorn on one leg nearest Ted. During the interminable and earsplitting previews, they find themselves drifting into, then eagerly pursuing, conversation. Even as the movie starts, they continue to talk, and laugh. They are both loud laughers.
Turns out Gladys is a demon for poker. They exchange stories of winning hands, bold bluffs. At one point they reach simultaneously for a handful…and their fingers touch. Their eyes meet. Their lips curl into smiles. Gladys bends her head to look at the popcorn in her hand, and Ted sees the reflection of movie explosions glint off something in her hair.
2. #1, 3, and 10 are baking a cake together. What sort of cake are they making? Will it taste good?
"We have to do it for Sam. He’s had such a tough year…oh, no offense!” Andi grinned ruefully at the other two across the granite counter top.
“My dear, none taken,” the Devil smiled. “None whatsoever.”
“He has one thing to be happy about,” their companion said softly. “He has you.”
Andi looked shy. “Thanks, Tony. Hope he agrees.”
"I’m know he does. Now, what shall we make? Something special….Millefeuille? Sacher torte? Flan?”
“I’m sure you know what I’d recommend.” The Devil smiled again, but with a darkness about his eyebrows.
"No! I know.” Andi’s eyes sparkled. “He’s always wanted a Red Velvet cake. He told me once, he couldn’t understand it. How it could look red? But taste like chocolate? Like, it fools you. You don’t know what to expect.” Suddenly she looked troubled, repeating “…it fools you.”
The others stared. Then the Devil looked off into the distance, while Tony glanced down at her compassionately. “Well, indeed. Life is full of surprises. What better thing to celebrate on your birthday?” Brushing his hands on his apron, he turned to the bookshelf above the sink. “Red Velvet it is! Now let’s see what Julia has to say about that!”
3. You wake up in the middle of the night and see 2 and 7 fighting. 2 lies on the ground injured. How will 7 react and what are you doing?
“Light sabers!” “Swords!” “Light sabers!” “Swords!” “Aaaa-oooooophhhhhh!” Thud.
Sam jumped from bed and ran to the kitchen. Sock was standing, brandishing a yardstick over Ben, sprawled on the floor, his yardstick thrusting upward.
“Aha!” Sock shouted. “Vanquished by light saberrrrr!” Ben got slowly to his feet, holding his head. “No! I slipped on a piece of zucchini. And it’s SWORDS!”
Sam stared for a moment, then shook his head and went back to bed.
4. #8 makes a mix tape for 4. What songs does he choose?
Towelling off after the racquetball, Steve reaches into his bag. Pulls out a CD in a paper sleeve. “Here, for you.” Gladys looks at the handwritten label. “Stephen, how thoughtful. Cole Porter, my favorites. ‘I’ve Got You Under My Skin.’ ‘Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered.’ ‘Too Darn Hot.’ How such an angel with a melody could be such a devil with words.”
“Yes, he was a little devil,” Steve chuckled throatily, shouldering his bag as they walked to the door. “Did I ever tell you about the night I met him at the Café Metropol? We had martinis…we talked, we laughed...”
5. Describe 5 in one word.
“Describe Josie in one word?” Sock’s face scrunched, his eyes rolling upward. Ben and Sam exchanged a glance. Both thinking: “Uh-oh, shouldn’tve asked that.” Sock squinted at the sky, then fixed them with a wide-eyed stare. “Okay, okay I’ve got it!” The other two flinched. Sock smiled slowly. “She’s……Spectacular.”
6. How does 3 show his love for 10?
23. You see 10 cry. Why is he crying?
It was easy, in demon mode, to let his fury flow to the ends of his pointed fingers, the edges of his scaly wings, the tips of his horns. Boiling and burning out of his yellow eyes.
But in human form, in their apartment, the couches they’d chosen, the kitchen gear, security cams…all he felt was a cold emptiness, filling his soft-skinned frame, making him shiver. And sob. Tony gave himself over to the sobbing, letting it wrack his body. Then, somewhere in the air above, he felt the words, knowing without hearing it was the Devil himself. “You betrayed me, aligned with humans, so your curse is to feel how they feel. But I will not abandon one who served me so faithfully, and may yet again. Know this. One day you and he will be reunited.”
Tony raised his face from his hands. “Thank you,” he whispered.
7. #2 is pregnant. Who is the father?
18. #2 and 6 have a child together. How does 7 react?
Ben looked aghast. “What kind of soul power could this be? And for what ungodly purpose?”
“Relax, dearie. The Boss has his reasons.” Gladys patted the young man’s shoulder, looking down at his large midsection. “Our baby will be born soon enough.”
“Aw MAN! It’s so unfair!” Sock threw his jacket down. “Why is it always you and Sam get the glory? Pregnant man, female demon-father? You’ll be all over the internet. Oprah, Dr. Phil, Jerry Springer! People will send you free shit! Why can’t it be me?”
Gladys smiled, rather ominously. “Perhaps the Boss has other plans for you.”
8. #7 betrays 3 with #1, who's in a relationship with 10. #4 admits to you that she likes 7. What is your first reaction?
“So I wasn’t supposed to tell, but she got me with feminine wiles,” Sock expostulated. “Anyway, Andi knows Sam works for you, why not me? And now that she’s dating Tony, the cat’s totally out of the bag!”
“That’s not the point, young man.” The Devil looked thunderous. “You betrayed me, and that comes with a cost. So I’ll betray a little confidence that was given to me, and you will act on it. Gladys informed me that she has a ‘thing’ for you.” The Devil waggled his fingers in quote-marks. “So, until further notice, you are dating Gladys.”
Sock recoiled, then considered. Remembered a dream that had seemed real. Warm flesh, full lips, demon horns…hmm maybe this wouldn’t be so bad, after all.
9. What would happen if 9 and 5 were catapulted into the Middle Ages?
The strum of the lute fills the air. He bends his head to receive the tribute. He’d wear the Knight’s Token into battle, proudly, and with honor. “As you will, Milady.”
Her voice sounds in his ears. “There, now, don’t you look handsome.”
He looks down at the scarf over his…blue apron? Hears the clip clop of the…horses? No, heels. Across the …parking lot. Looks up to see Josie’s orange coat, heading toward the store.
10. #2 has depression. What will 8 do to help him?
“Never mind, sweetie. Who among us has not done something crazy for love, or, in your case, money? Sip this marvelous Shiraz. I shall return with the rumaki. Chicken livers and bacon—a little fat, little salt…soon you’ll be right as rain!” Ben raised his head from his hands, watched Steve’s pink sweater heading to the kitchen, and felt better already.
11. #6, 3 and 9 are drunk and pass by a Love Hotel. What will happen next?
Sam looks blearily at the blinking neon sign. The words “love” and “hotel” seem wrong together. Ah, but...remembers his and Andi’s first time. Fancy hotel room, view of the city, champagne. Chocolates on the pillow. And none of that mattered. All that mattered was the love.
The Devil’s face is lit by the flashing colors, as his mind drifts to his last hotel stay. Cabo, Mimi. Chuckles to himself. Not exactly love. But, close enough.
Ted suddenly feels quite a bit more sober, as he hurries his drunk companions past the seedy motel. Mustn’t get recognized by the night clerk.
12. Will #6 be a good president?
13. #8 is now a member of Scientology...
14. And #1 is Miss Universe...
15. #4, 2 and 10 are sitting in the same train compartment.
17. How is 3's life?
I. “—this I promise, my fellow Americans.” Whaaaa-? Sam hears his voice booming, but has no idea how or why. Wild applause and cheering erupts around him.
II. “Yes, we can clear those engrams. Three days retreat in Palm Springs.” Steve folds his hands, then looks around, startled. Where is he? Who is...is that Tom Cruise?
III. Flashbulbs pop madly, blinding her. Andi blinks, realizes she is waving with cupped hand, smiling so big her jaw aches. Looks down at her evening gown, sash lettered “Miss Universe.” Feels something slip on her head as she tries to figure out where she is.
IV. “How much longer?” It’s his own voice, but a piping, English accent. Ben looks across the train compartment at—Gladys? Tweed coat, sensible shoes, brown hat, a notebook labeled “D. Umbridge”? And Tony, lounging in the corner in a black robe, grinning sardonically, a satchel at his feet? Outside, green hills roll by. In his lap, a box marked “Chocolate Frogs.”
V. “Anything interesting, Boss?” Winston hands a drink to the Devil, who looks intently at the iPhone screen. “Yes, indeed,” the Devil smiles. “Just mixing things up a bit. These humans, and those who consort with them, make life so amusing.”
16. What lies on 5, 6 and 7's nightstands? (Josie, Sam, Sock)
19. What's in the bathroom of 8?
“Truth? The latest Dresden Files. Bose clock-radio. I can’t afford to be late to work.” Josie tossed her head slightly. Sock leered. “No, um, power tools? What about Mr. Buzzy?”
“Very funny, moron. At least he was something I could depend on.”
Sam interjected, “Watchmen, gearing up for the movie. No alarm—I like to wake naturally. No power tools.” He grinned peaceably.
Sock counted off on his fingers. “Beer. At all times. Magazine, no I’m not saying what. And yes, I believe in keeping a chain saw by the bed. In case Jason or Freddy should visit.”
Josie bristled. “That’s the only night visitor you’re likely to have.”
Steve bustled in with a tray. “What are we talking, dearies? Nightstand? Oh, I keep the bedroom very Zen. Minimalist. Steve and I keep our tools in the bathroom.” As the others’ eyes widened, he laughed. “Relax. I’m mean the power sanders.”
20. #1 and 4 are participating in the Olympic Games. Which sport do they choose and are they successful? And who will come to encourage them?
Sam squinted against the sun, watching Andi and Gladys line up with the other runners. Olympics, weird, but all part of life lately. Andi had always been athletic, and flexing in the blocks, she looked unbeatable. Gladys, on the other hand, didn’t look all too fit. But as the starter raised the pistol, and Gladys bent down next to Andi, Sam saw Andi flash a glance toward her. Saw Gladys’s face flicker into demon mode. Andi startled, the gun fired, and Gladys took off down the track, with Andi frozen at the starting line. Sam shrugged. So, that happened. Again.
21. You come home from a hard day and find #1 and 6 on your bed. Feeding each other strawberries. You...?
“Wider! Open wider.”
“Sam! No more!” Andi, laughing. The door was ajar. Ben neared, warily. Should he clear his throat, loudly? It was his room, and he needed his laptop. More laughter, a squeak of bedsprings. Ben grimaced, edged closer still. “Mmm, strawberries. Sweet as your kisses.” Ben turned, fled.
22. Why do you hate 5? Josie
“Why? Why? She…thinks she’s better than me. She’s all smartened up. Ms. District Attorney’s Office! Ms., Ms. District Attorney’s Office Smarty Pants!”
Sam grimaced. Sock waved his hand. “Okay, Sam, okay. It’s not the best insult I’ve ever laid out. It’s just that she…argh! Drives me crazy! She’s just too….spectacular.” |

<snort> Ted and Gladys is almost scarier than Sock and Gladys. And of course, Tony would want something a bit more complex than a simple premix. ;D |

Sam stared for a moment, then shook his head and went back to bed. This? Is pretty much Sam in a nutshell. Awwww. |
