astrogirl:
Miss Parker (3) and Romana II (7) are seated next to each other on an airplane (or equivalent mode of transport). Do they strike up a conversation? About what? At the end of the flight, are they glad to escape from each other, trading phone numbers and promising to keep in touch, or something in-between?
Well, it is conceivable that Romana might travel by airplane for some unknown reason, tracking down monsters or mysterious disappearing airplanes.
Miss Parker, is, of course, travelling by airplane to track down Jarod, but she isn't taking the company jet... because Jarod is on the plane, not as a pilot this time, but as a Flight Attendant. And of course Miss Parker can't do anything, because she doesn't have her gun with her. Also, she's not allowed to smoke either. So Miss Parker is very antsy and rude, and doesn't say anything to Romana. Romana is calm and rather perky, because it is rather fun to travel on such primitive transportation - though she can't help remarking on how primitive it is.
Then the monster starts attacking people secretly... when they go to the toilet.
Romana figures out what is going on, and finds Jarod an able assistant. When things start getting violent with the monster, Miss Parker kills it with her bare hands, because she's so pissed off.
Fromizhilzha:
Severus Snape (2) and Servalan (11) are writing a book together. What genre/form is it, and will they be able to finish the project without killing each other?
(sporfle) It's rather difficult to think of a book that both of them would write together... unless it was a political thriller set in a science-fantasy universe, starring the beautiful Valan and her partner, the mysterious and enigmatic Rus.
Why did they write it? They're both in hiding from the political fallout of their actions, and they need to make money. (Never mind that they're from different universes, blame the question for that!)
As for whether they kill each other... Servalan would have no compunction about killing Snape, but only after the project is complete. Snape finds manipulating her a piece of cake after surviving Voldemort; he points out that the publisher might want a sequel. Which the publisher does, because the book turns out to be a runaway bestseller. The politics are realistic, the vocabulary is exemplary, and while the hero and heroine are a bit Sue-ish, that's par for the course in that genre.
They settle into a working partnership; she only attempts to poison him about once every three months, to keep her hand in, and he doesn't mind too much, because that keeps him in practice for detecting poisons.
Fromreynardo:
The Master (Simm) (12) and Temperance Brennan (9) find out that they're both the intended recipients of Cally's (13) worldly goods after Cally (13) died in a particularly nasty and suspicious accident.
a) Who on the list caused the accident?
b) The Master (12) and Temperance Brennan (9) only get to keep the inheritance if they work together to solve the mystery. How does that go?
I'm not entirely sure that Cally has any worldly goods, apart from the clothes on her back. But let's say she found an ancient and valuable alien artefact that boosts telepathic ability.
Of course, it was the Master who killed Cally after making sure he was in her will, and it was a nasty shock for him to discover that Brennan was also listed in the will. Even though the Master had been sensible enough to try to make it look like an accident, Brennan with all her team might perhaps stumble on a clue or two, so he sticks close to Brennan in an attempt to sabotage the investigation while appearing not to.
The team discover suspicious signs that Cally was murdered, but they can't figure out what the weapon was. Booth is suspicious of the Master because the Master is far too charming (and Booth is jealous). Booth catches the Master tampering with evidence, and pulls his gun on him. The Master knocks him out and gets away, but he doesn't get the artefact. Brennan keeps the artefact in her office, because she thinks its an abstract sculpture.
Fromtardis_stowaway:
Abby Sciuto (1), Bra'tac (4), and Cally (13) are stuck on an elevator together for an extended time. What do they talk about? Do they emerge friends? Do all of them and the elevator even survive intact?
Oh my. Well, I expect that they and the elevator survive intact, yes.
Both Cally and Bra'tac attempt to meditate but Abby won't stop talking.
So they end up discussing their different cultures. Then Cally and Bra'tac let slip that they're aliens and Abby is thrilled speechless and incoherent.
Bra'tac mutters that if he'd known that was what it would take to keep her quiet he would have said something sooner. But Abby's silence doesn't last very long and she peppers them with questions too quickly for them to answer.
Then the elevator doors open and Abby never sees either one of them again.
In a three-legged race pairing the following people, which pair wins? Who can't coordinate worth a damn? Jenny (5) and Methos (6), Jarod (10) and Miles Vorkosigan (15), Severus Snape (2) and The (Simm) Master (12)
Jenny and Methos win by a huge margin. What with her being a Time Lord (Time Lady? Gallifreyan?) and her training, she could probably do a three-legged race on her hands. Methos isn't quite as acrobatic as Jenny, but he's an Immortal, and he certainly has to keep fit in self-defence. So they very quickly get their act together once Methos has explained the game to Jenny.
Jarod and Miles run into difficulties because Miles is so short, so it's very difficult for them to coordinate their movements. Jarod thinks it's fun, though. They come second, because...
Snape and the Master don't even start. They're arguing too much.
Fromrothas_writing:
If Bra'tac (4) suddenly developed supernatural powers, how would Romana II (7) react?
She would want to analyze how it happened.
Abby (1), Temperence Brennan (9) and Miss Parker (3) decide to have a threesome - what happens?
Not. Going. There.
Which person on your list would you want to have afternoon tea with?
Quite a few of them are trouble magnets, and I'd rather not have trouble interrupting my afternoon tea. That rules out Miles, Romana, Jarod and Jenny.
And I certainly wouldn't want to have afternoon tea with the more villainous of them, thus not Servalan, Master, or Miss Parker.
I'd like to have a good interesting conversation, which rules out Sherlock because he wouldn't want to converse, Vila because he'd be hitting on me, Bra'tac because he'd have no respect for me because I'm not a warrior, Snape because he'd just be rude.
Oh heck, I'm going to pick Jarod anyway, because he's interested in EVERYTHING, which means it would definitely be an interesting conversation, and it would bounce from topic to topic. I think it would be pretty cool.

Date: 2012-02-02 02:07 pm (UTC)She's from "Blake's 7". Initially she's the head of the Space Force of the evil Federation. Apparently the military dress code doesn't apply to her, because she goes everywhere in evening gowns. She swims the waters of politics like a shark, smiling and smiling and being a villain. She also uses feminine wiles whenever it suits her. She definitely would have been a Slytherin.

Date: 2012-02-02 10:21 pm (UTC)One can certainly imagine Miss Parker getting more and more frustrated...
And of course Snape and the Master would bicker. Snape wouldn't want to participate in this stupid race in the first place, it's far to undignified.
Tea with Jarod would indeed be fun.
