Question from blackacres

OH HI HERE I AM WITH SOME QUESTIONS: RYAN ~ 4, 17, 42 || BRODEY ~ 7, 20, 47 || DURDEN ~ 10, 22, 48

RYAN:

4.) What would they do if they needed to make dinner but the kitchen was busy?

- This implies that Ryan actually uses the kitchen to prepare food, and he absolutely does not.

17.) Preferred mode of dress and rituals surrounding dress.

- Ryan lays out what he’s going to wear the next day, gets up in the morning, showers, puts on everything but his shoes, spends upwards of 20 minutes doing his hair, goes downstairs, puts said shoes on by the door, then leaves. There is never a time when shoes in the house is okay. Never. As for style, he’s mostly monotone and some bizzare hipster-yuppie hybrid, heavy on the yuppie.

42.) Hobbies?

- Cocaine, jerking it to shoe fetish sites, balancing his checkbook, smelling the clean laundry, detail cleaning the grout in the bathroom with a toothbrush, playing Angry Birds at work, tying Watson’s fat rolls up with rubber bands and taking pictures, hating Christmas.

BRODEY:

7.) Favorite way to waste time and feeling surrounding wasting time:

- Brodey closes all the curtains in her house, locks the door, and watches DVR’d episodes of Jersey Shore and adamantly denies doing any such thing. She would rather be doing something constructive but she can’t peel her eyes away from the oompa loompas on the screen.

20.) Childhood illnesses? Any interesting stories behind them?

- Nope, nothing but chicken pox, and the most interesting thing about that was how she went about trying to scratch them without her mother catching on. She wasn’t very successful with any said attempts.

47.) If they were to fall in love, who or what is their ideal?

- She’d want someone smart, or at least able to keep up with her in a conversation. Also someone not too wishy-washy or weak willed. Also, glasses help.

DURDEN:

10.) Neuroses? Do they recognize them as such?

- Pfft. Neuroses are for the weak. Besides, he has enough to deal with any time he possesses Ryan in any given verse, kay thanks.

22.) Given a blank sheet of paper, a pencil, and nothing to do, what would happen?

- One of two things. He’d either start writing some anti-institutional manifesto, or he’d draw a shit ton of cartoon dicks. Possibly both on the same sheet.

48.) How do they express love?

-By wearing rubber yellow kitchen gloves in the bedroom and actually listening to safety words.

Character Meme

I’ve done this before I’m sure. But I’m gonna do it again.

Choose twelve of your original characters, in any particular order. Then, answer the questions that follow, but DON’T LOOK AT THE QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU PICK THE CHARACTERS!

1. Ryan
2. Ethan
3. Jude
4. Durden
5. Klaxon
6. Cortez
7. LynZ
8. Vito
9. Jerard
10. Helena
11. Arienette
12. Guy/Retarded Jimmy

(Ryan and Jude are the alt u versions)

1. Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11?
Arienette. I can’t see Cortez having the attention span to teach.

2. Do you think #2 is hot? How hot?
Ethan? FFFFFF. He’s not HOT, maybe cute in a dorky sort of way. He’s got more personality than looks.

3. 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Retarded Jimmy sends Vito on a mission to get pot. It goes swimmingly.

4. What is or would be 9’s favorite book?
Jerard, reading? Pfft. I honestly have no idea. Something where a lot of people die, I guess.

5. Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
Ethan swearing fealty to anyone is lulzy. Cortez might if he thinks it’ll get him in Ethan’s pants.

6. For whatever reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should 5 share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10?
Klaxon choosing between Jerard or Helena for a roomate. Well, Jerard would kill him on sight, so by default it’d be Helena. But living with Helena might be a fate worse than death.

7. 2, 7, and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
They’d go to Taco Bell, because it’s cheap. Ethan and Jimmy would talk about boobs and butts and stuff, and LynZ would use her spork to attempt to pry out their eyeballs.

8. 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
I’d imagine Arienette would have to be possessed to have Jude fight her, but in any event he’d take her down pretty easily.

9. If 1 stole 8’s most precious possession, how would 8 get it back?
I doubt Ryan would steal anything from Vito, but all Vito’d have to do is shift to Crinos and Ryan would flip shit.

10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
LynZ and Jimmy: “The Day All Men Died In A Fire But Not Before One Last Awesome Bender.”

11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
Ryan and Durden working together? EL OH EL OH EL OH EL IT’S LIKE THE MEME KNOWS.

12. If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
LynZ? Shit, I’d be hiding in my room praying she didn’t find me. Bitch is crazy.

13. If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
Jude? I’d just have him talk for like nine hours straight while I giggled and flailed at his accent.

14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw anything regarding 11?
No, I haven’t even drawn Arienette.

15. If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
Ethan has to choose between Durden and Klaxon. There are no winners here. He’d have to pick Klaxon though, he can’t see Durden.

16. What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
Helena: “Like, I am so not doing this.”

17. If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
Vito? FFFFF, “Because I Got High.”

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?
Retarded Jimmy gets it. He’s got at least fifty pounds on Ryan and Cortez.

19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
Ethan to Helena: “I mean, fuggit, we almost boned once anyhow, let’s make it legit.”

20. What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
Klaxon? Stealing chicken patties from the grocery store.

21. What is 6’s secret?
Cortez has no secrets. He will tell you ANYTHING if you ask him. I imagine Shanna knows everything there is to know.

22. If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Jerard would get there before Arienette. Shift to lupus, run, ???, PROFIT.

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’d definitely feel safer with Vito. LynZ would shank me before any thugs could anyhow.

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?
Ryan and Jerard team up against Durden. Arienette is the spy. Durden kidnaps Jimmy, and Klaxon tells them to find Jude. This almost makes sense, sans the Way brothers. I’d call it “Typical Wednesday Afternoon For Ryan These Days.”
