15 Characters Meme: the Reveal (Part 2)
Sorry, it took me a little while to finish answering these! (There were loads! It was great! XD)
senmut: Regina walks into a building, sees something strange, but Rumple says it's under control. Hint -- it is not actually under control. What does Regina do?
It depends a lot on what the situation is and when in canon this happens. Probably either she rolls her eyes and waltzes off, leaving him to it, or rolls her eyes, fixes it herself with her magic, and then never lets him forget it until and unless they're cursed again, or: if Rumple has set something off that's got out of his control, it's probably at apocalyptic level - in which case, she does her best, while calling in the cavalry.
Whatever scenario it is, I doubt Rumple is happy to see her and there will definitely be a certain amount of snark before she does or doesn't do something.
lurking_latinist: Twelve, Holly, and Jenna are the finalists in a talent competition judged by Jenkins, Silver, and Padme. What are their talents, who's the mean judge, are there any dirty tricks, and who wins in the end?
Twelve can play the guitar, Holly will probably make a cardboard box that is supposed to do highly improbable things that in fact, do actually work on the third try, and Jenna's doing a disappearing act (she's disappearing with Padme's jewels).
Holly tries all the dirty tricks in the book, but they're completely obvious about it, so it doesn't get them very far. (Literally: they read something labelled 101 Dirty Tricks To Win a Talent Competition on-screen and keep dropping the book not quite in time.)
Jenkins is the mean judge - not that he's mean as such, but he's certainly going to have the least patience with untalented competitors and be more critical than Padme. He would also be horrified at Holly's irresponsible brand of 'magic'. Silver is probably only there for reasons that don't involve judging anyway. Padme is trying to take it seriously. She is the only one. It's hard work.
Twelve therefore wins by default. His victory guitar solo may never end.
Regina, Uljabaan, and Charley start a band. What instruments are they on, what kind of music do they play, and do they get off the ground or split up due to creative differences?
Well, Regina can sing, I suppose. Uljabaan would get the Computer to research Earth bands and teach him how to play the guitar. His back-up method would be to get Lucy to teach him how to play the guitar, which would have even more entertaining results. He doesn't have the patience to do it well. Regina doesn't have the patience to put up with a rubbish guitar player, and as for Miss Charlotte Pollard and, "Well, Mother did insist I took piano lessons for a year, but I was never any good at it - still I'll give it a go!" - the less said the better.
They split up on first rehearsal. Uljabaan keeps tape recordings of their efforts for potential blackmail value.
Carolyn and Rumple take each other's roles in their stories. What happens differently?
0_o
Well. Okay. The Enchanted Forest was ruled over by the most terrifying Dark One anyone had ever seen! However, Carolyn would still do anything to get back to her son in a Land Without Magic, so the plot might just about unfold in the same general direction, following the prophecy, but one thing's for sure: Belle is going to have a completely different time of it in the Dark One's Castle.
Back at MJN Air, GERTI was mysteriously sturdier than she should have been and required less fuel than should have been possible while doing journeys in record time and her former owner disappeared in mysterious and probably deeply unpleasant circumstances. But, OTOH, their boss keeps making them do extra journeys that he never explains. He seems to be maybe looking for something he can't find?
Or if this is pre-Dark One, he's too scared of flying and the whole enterprise folds, and people's lives get ruined. Sorry.
philomytha: Jenna is in prison. Rumple and Death team up to break them out while Regina tries to stop them. Does Jenna escape?
I think she does, yes. I mean, Regina has considerable powers, but Rumple and Death is just overkill even so.
lyr: Rumple, Uljabaan, and Jenna are recruited by Regina for a heist. What are they stealing, what are their roles on the team, and how does it go?
So, now that Regina knows this is a team with members capable of breaking someone out of prison despite her efforts to stop them, she has a use for them? I suppose it all depends on whether or not Rumple's willing, because he prefers doing the scheming himself (and doesn't actually have the highest opinion of Regina's scheming).
Jenna drives the getaway vehicle, Rumple gets inside by magic, Uljabaan was supposed to deal with the guards, but sent a memo via the Computer to say he had a prior engagement and supplied an unhappy minion in his place, but they were definitely an effective distraction.
They are stealing the latest artefact needed to break the latest curse that has brought them there, and overall, it's a success! It just depends on what the price is on using that artefact...
vilakins: Death is contracted by Lynda to take out a hit on Charley Pollard. Why, and what happens?
Whoa, Lynda, that's a bit overpowered. It was a dream sequence? If for real, it must be because of Charley breaking the universe, which also means that the Junior Gazette won't survive and Death's going to fix it in the only way Death can.
So, I suppose, there Lynda is in her pyjamas in the Gazette office in the middle of the night and someone's showing her Terrible Timelines and in order to avoid them the nice skeleton is going to dispose of the awkward anomaly? And she's just, fine, it's a dream, go ahead. And then wakes up again in a cold sweat later.
(Sorry, Charley. Fixed points get Death in their way.)
Why can't Silver and Uljabaan have nice things?
Transient Beings, Humans, Printers, Minions, Superiors and awkward exes, really.
But, honestly, Silver can have nice things! That is part of how it is to be Silver!
Uljabaan also in fact has more nice things than he deserves already, especially cake and other things that should belong to other people in Cresdon Green.
Dr Seward and Holly play practical jokes on Michael. Jenna realises who the perps are - does Jenna participate, stop it, or spill the beans to Michael?
I presume here that Holly is the practical joker and is using Dr Seward to unwittingly carry out said practical jokes on Michael. Maybe telling him wrong things that are absolutely human things he should do?? At least Michael is used to terrible practical jokes. I doubt Holly's going to worse or less funny than a bunch of demons.
I expect Jenna would just shrug and get on with whatever she was doing and leave them all to it, unless she had a particular reason to put a stop to Holly's shenanigans.
graycardinal: Jenkins and Death wake up handcuffed together, in an apparently sealed chamber. Which odd-numbered character will release the hungry tiger into the room 30 minutes from now, and which even-numbered character will turn up to rescue the prisoners?
Presumably Uljabaan will release the tiger to see what the humans will do. But again, he's not doing well at finding actual humans here. (It's easier in Cresdon Green - they're all human! Even Weird Patrick. You get put in a meme and suddenly everyone you pick for these things turns out to be the outlier who shouldn't have been counted, and Katrina and Lucy aren't even anywhere in sight to blame!)
Padme will come to let them out, but it was unnecessary, because Uljabaan tried to lock up an immortal knight who knows magic spells, and Death incarnate. Jenkins will magic door himself right out of there. Death might wait around to see the tiger, though. He likes cats.
Rumple recruits Uljabaan and Lynda - separately - to acquire a valuable artifact which is in Jenna's possession by any means necessary. Who will actually get the job done , how badly will the competing agents get in each other's way, and who (if any) of the quartet will find themselves under arrest before the caper is complete?
Well, that heist team soon started double-crossing itself, didn't it? I suppose this is Rumple's own take on whatever it was Regina was trying to do with the earlier heist. It must have worked, since he's trying to get them to steal it back for him!
And, ha, Uljabaan is a military Field Commander with minions, sophisticated technology, weapons, and a super-computer while Lynda merely has brains, steely determination and an inability to cope with losing anything. She's going to run rings round him. Uljabaan will be sulking about it and making excuses for ages.
Jenna will try to stop them, but it's Blake's 7. Irony is not on her side, and she'll be the one getting arrested for the former theft.
Of course, Lynda will also probably realise that just handing over magical artefacts to Rumple without asking why he wants it might not be the best plan, so whether or not Rumple'll actually get it is a good question. He's never come up against Lynda Day before.
Regina, Dr Seward, and Charley are marooned together on an uninhabited tropical island with minimal survival gear, no personal electronics whatsoever - and just to be annoying, something is blocking both teleportation magic and transporter technology. How long does it take for the trio to escape, or do they settle down permanently - and what romantic partnership, if any, results from the adventure?
Dr Seward and Charley set about being resigned yet hopeful, trying to make shelter, find food, maybe send out a message in a bottle. Regina keeps trying magic, blaming the other two, and trying to kill trees before she calms down enough to be useful. But she will (I mean, assuming this is reformed Regina) and then she'll help out - but there's no way she's settling for losing her family this way! Charley will be 200% up for helping her - she wants to get back to the Doctor herself - and I feel sure that they're up to building rafts, or beacons or whatever is most appropriate, and Dr Seward will be obliging enough to help them with whatever they need.
I can't see romance happening, though. Although if they're there long enough and Regina's bored enough, she might possibly try with either or both for the hell of it, but I'm not sure she'd get very far. Charley might be kind enough to let Dr Seward hold her hand and cry about Lucy, and Dr Seward will be willing to hold her hand in return if she wants to get wistful about wherever the Doctor is now and why he hasn't come for her. But I don't think it's going to get further than that. Not unless Regina casts a curse and they all think they're somebody else. Which, tbf, you can't rule out when there's an OUaT character in the mix.
Padme and Carolyn run into each other purely by chance, and strike up a relationship - platonic or otherwise, your choice. Six months later, they are together when they encounter Death, with whom each of them has a strong (but previously unrevealed) past connection - again, possibly platonic, possibly not. Once the three have finished comparing notes, is there a disastrous breakup, a steamy three-way sex marathon, a friendly evening of mutual reminiscence, or some combination of the foregoing - and who ends up leaving with whom?
I'm trying to untangle that scenario and I think my brain is giving out. Okay... so this is a Padme Lives! AU and Padme's past relationship with Death is a lot less metaphorical than you would have thought (aka Discworld Death fixes RotS) and maybe Carolyn has sort of maybe nearly killed people accidentally before now? I mean, that isn't that hard to imagine. Not on purpose or anything, but just... being Carolyn.
Carolyn and Padme have a friendship and I can't imagine it's too much disturbed by the arrival of Death, apart from the fact that the arrival of Death would always be disturbing.
I just don't think there's going to be a steamy three-way sex-marathon unless Carolyn is on board GERTI when this happens and there's a wealthy person hiring her who merely happens to be having a three-way with two completely other people. Death/Carolyn/Padme is not going to fly.
paranoidangel: Padme & Charley find themselves in a room with only one bed. Who sleeps where? Are they friends or enemies in the morning?
They share the bed! It's all very civilised and friendly. By the time morning comes, they have come up with a plan to help Charley fight evil and find her way back to the Doctor by pretending to be one of Padme's handmaidens, and it's all an excellent crossover.
liadt: In a Upstairs, Downstairs type of situation Twelve & Rumple are upstairs and Dr Seward & Uljabaan are downstairs. How does it go? Are Twelve & Rumple benign masters? Do Dr Seward & Uljabaan go on strike/cause trouble or does everyone end up drinking the sherry and dancing on the sideboard together?
Twelve and Rumple are Upstairs types! Although less so than Uljabaan and Dr Seward, which is going to make things interesting. Twelve ran away from all that, while Rumple started out dirt poor and worked his way up to being terrified of losing what he's gained. So, the Doctor will be all for everyone ending up having sherry together, and Rumple won't. Mind you, not that the Doctor would be any good at doing the housework like a boring regular person, either.
Uljabaan is on strike. He is outraged! He's Lord Aylesworth! A Field Commander of the Glorious Geonin Empire and totally rubbish at whatever undercover operation this is. He is going to dictate a stiff email to head office.
Dr Seward, having found himself inexplicably in this position, will probably try to do his best to buttle, but he is a rather clueless middle class Victorian male, who canonically isn't even sure how to put a poker down without the aid of his housekeeper.
They had better just get out that sherry and if Rumple doesn't like it, he doesn't have to join in. The Doctor is the only one doing any dancing on the sideboards, though.
dimity_blue: Uljabaan and Twelve are being sent to another planet. Why? And will they survive?
They're both aliens! And the Doctor has been to many many planets anyway. I'm not sure how he'd feel about Uljabaan for company, though, but he has met far worse alien invaders at least.
Dr Seward, Rumple, and Carolyn are trying to stop Death from ruling the world. Who's on the side of good, and who wins?
Uh. Oh gosh. I don't know if anyone could stop Death if they finally had enough and decided to start ruling the world. Rumple has some serious powers and Carolyn is very determined, but Dr Seward is only useful in that context if you need someone around to gasp, "But that's impossible!" and faint when confronted with evil. He might possibly be able to do some medical patching up if needed... but only if they're okay with Victorian medicine. (Rumple, being used to Dr Frankenstein as the go-to doctor in the area probably wouldn't mind, but I don't think Carolyn would be impressed.)
I don't know who's good or evil in this scenario! The earth is doomed. Or saved. Or something. 0_o
What a thought to go out on: yes, everyone - Death has defeated us all. Especially Dr Seward, the canonical snowflake that he is.
senmut: Regina walks into a building, sees something strange, but Rumple says it's under control. Hint -- it is not actually under control. What does Regina do?It depends a lot on what the situation is and when in canon this happens.
