1. Who would make a better college prof, 6 or 11?
(Dr. Jack Marshland or Eowyn)
I think I have to say Dr. Marshland. Eowyn might feel caged!

2. 12 sends 8 out on a mission. What is it? Does it succeed?
(Passeportout sends Uncle Rico)
Passeportout wants Rico to go put out the pilot light in his room, but Uncle Rico gets sidetracked at a diner eating steak.

3. What is or would be 9's favorite book?
(Jo March)
A good romance!

4. For some reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should (s)he share a studio apartment with 9 or 10?
(M. Paul is looking. Choices - Jo March or Master Blakeney)
Jo of course! She is a lot like his love.

5. 2, 7, and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
Elinor Dashwood, Pippin, Passeportout
They go somewhere that Pippin picks. Lots of food, cheap prices. Maybe they talk about their hopes and dreams. Pippin provides the entertainment.

6. 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
(Scout challenges Master Blakeney)
This is great because they’re both kids! Blakeney wins of course, he’s had more experience in battle.

7. If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would she/he get it back?
(Han Solo steals from Uncle Rico)
Han must have stolen Rico’s football video. Rico either a. hits him with a chunk of steak or b. tricks him into getting shocked by a time travel machine.


8. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
(Pippin and Passeportout)
Love and Best Dishes


9. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
(Han Solo and Charles Wallace)
A dangerous mission to save a beautiful princess. Han flies the time and space traveling machine, and Charles handles the mechanics of trying to wrinkle time!

10. If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
(Pippin)
Well, fine! We’d do a lot of cooking. And fireworks.

11. If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
(Scout)
I have no idea!

12. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11?
(Eowyn)
I’m not sure, I think not!

13. If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
(Elinor has to choose between Charles Wallace or M. Emmanuel)
I think she would choose Charles Wallace because she loves children.

14. What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
(Master Blakeney)
For my arm!!!!!

15. If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
(Uncle Rico)
Deep organ music that reminds you of a thrift store.

16. 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?
(Han, Dr. Marshland, Passeportout)
Han of course. He might whip out his gun if challenged!

17. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
(Elinor on Master Blakeney)
She could never be mad at him, and if not I don’t know!

18. What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
(M. Emmanuel)
That would be impossible.

19. What is 6's secret?
(Dr. Marshland)
That he was the one who sent letters to the ladies!

20. If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
(Jo and Eowyn)
Wow that’s hard, they’re both tomboyish. I have to say Jo would.

21. If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?
(Pippin or Uncle Rico)
Pippin! Though he might not offer much protection, Uncle Rico is too creepy!

1 (Han) and 9 (Jo) reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's (Charles Wallace‘s) sinister secret organization. 11 (Eowyn) volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that s/he is actually a spy for 4 (Charles Wallace). Meanwhile, 4 (Charles Wallace) has kidnapped 12 (Passeportout) in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5 (M. Emmanuel), they seek out 3 (Scout), who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic?

I don’t know but with Charles Wallace in charge its going to be hard for the others to get the best of him.
