Have I done this one before?

Name 12 characters from various fandoms, before looking at the questions that follow. List your characters numbered 1 to 12, with the name of the fandom. Once you've picked your 12 characters, look at the questions and answer accordingly. (No peeking until you've picked your characters!)

1 Kanda Yu [DGM] [lolsup]

2 Merlion [Real life]

3 Cow Pigeon [Real life]

4 Me [FE]

5 Rhino [Wil's Epic Thing]

6 Squarehead [Real life] [3 RL ppl already!]

[Ahem interruption: I am suddenly running out of characters! A few weeks in China has somehow brainwashed me. No more memories of characters! Their Chinese counterparts arrive! Long live Chinese TV shows! Oh, wait, there's a thought...]

7 Snape [or, as PT has started calling him, Snop] [HP]

8 Stitch [Lilo and Stitch] ['Sup, running out of characters, as I said.]

9 Ash [Pokemon] [WAI OH WAIIIII]

10 Matt [FE]

11 Lucius [FE] [You can KIND OF tell that something has gone wrong up there in my head, right?]

[*Runs to family members for characters*]

12 [Riiiiight. Credits to a Maple-playing PT.]Magikarp [Pokemon]

1) Who would make a better college professor: 6 or 11?

Squarehead! 6!

2) Do you think 2 is hot? How hot?

*Chokes*

3) 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?

Observe:

Situation 1)

12: Hey Stitch, can you like go hack into Nintendo's computers or something and make me the UBER BOSS of Pokemon?

8: ... No. *Liquidates 12*

Situation 2)

12: ... OKAY. Calm down. How about helping me gain some EXP?

8: Miga Naga Questa! *Bounces off and PWNs several other Magikarps* Stitch likes Pokemon!

Situation 3)

12: Get me out of this lake! I want to see the world!

8: *Jumps into lake and sinks*

12: ... Oops.

且听下回分解。

4) What is, or would be, 9's favorite book?

He can read?

5) Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?

Maybe the other way round? Like, "I swear to dedicate my life to teaching the students of Singapore Chemistry!"

6) For some reason, 5 is looking for a room-mate. Should they share a studio apartment with 9, or 10?

9, so that Rhino can PWN him whenever he feels angry.

7) 2, 7, and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?

Merlion nibbles on Magikarp. Snape storms out of the Meme, being bored.

8) 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?

Feathers spiral in the air. Matt emerges victorious. Pia, unseen in the Meme, mourns the loss of a friend.

9) If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would they get it back?

"Miga Naga Questa!" "Lolsup?" *Biff* *PWN* *Ouch* "Okay, battle wins you."

10) Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.

"Harry Potter and the UBER BOSS of Pokémon"

11) What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?

Sing the 2008 Olympics song "You and Me".

12) If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?

*Does not wish to think about it*

13) If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?

-.-

14) Does anyone on your friends list resemble 11 (either in appearance or personality)?

Not in appearance, of course.

...Well, some people are very nice and friendly. But nobody seems to be genderless around here...

15) If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?

WELL.

I suppose Rhino, if he wandered over to Singapore some time in Epic Thing and met Merlion...

16) What might 10 shout while charging into battle?

"Revenge!" [Charging into battle with Jaffar?]

17) If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?

Well, seeing as I barely know music, possibly the TV show theme song...

[Ohyes, talking about the theme song, there's a bit in it where the people are speaking some Hawaiian stuff but it sounds like Chinese. Observe:

这个这个你好！

爱给自己爸爸！

掉了一个小书包？

不准！

是的！

Well.]

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?

Hmm. Not Magikarp. Not Squarehead. Okay, Yu.

19) What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?

*Coughs weakly* Maybe...

"Hi! Are you a visitor to Singapore?"

20) What would 5 most likely be arrested for?

Mass destruction?

21) What is 6's secret?

That... only his hair is square? [Rhyming! I don't know, actually...]

22) If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?

Hard to tell. Ash has Pokémon. Lucius... Erm...

23) If you had to walk home through a bad neighbourhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?

I don't know. Stitch can be uncontrollable. Whereas Snape... *Inches away*

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/she 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?

Woah, woah, woah. Let's see. Yu and Ash team up so that Guy's SSO will be stopped. Lucius spies for Guy [FE ppl!], who kidnaps Magikarp so Yu and Ash will surrender. Rhino wisely advices Yu and Ash to seek out Cow Pigeon... Who points out that all digital platforms can be turned off.

"The Power of the Off Button"

Observe:

Maple Story：骂跑了石头人员
Magept：妈个皮条
Nan Hua Primary School：南华平日骂人因素
Maple Bow：骂跑了薄雾
