Sadly, Delaware Singer Is Not On The List.

My father has come up with 'Shoot Your Shopping', a rather brilliant idea for revolutionising online supermarket shopping. You travel down virtual aisles, shooting at objects you want. Special offers occasionally appear at the top of the screen, and if you are the first to shoot an offer you get it. You have the opportunity, at the end of your shopping trip, to pay five pounds for a minigame in which you try to fight your way past the security guards; if you succeed, your shopping is free (your odds are better on smaller purchases). My brother made the suggestion that you have to avoid other trollies in the virtual aisles, because if you crash into one you will receive a box of broken eggs.

Seriously, if there were an online shopping system like that, you can't tell me you wouldn't use it.

AND NOW TO THE TRUE PURPOSE OF THIS ENTRY. This is a meme I did a while ago, and it was a lot of fun then.

shizuka_blooms has reminded me of it by posting a variation, and I think it's time to give it another go, as I have acquired a number of new fandoms since I last tried it. Hurrah!

1) Make a list of ~~fifteen~~ twenty-one (yeah, I've got no self-discipline at all) characters first, and keep it to yourself for the moment. (That way you're not leading the questions asked to fit the characters.)

2) Ask your flist to post questions in the comments.

For example:

'One, Nine, Fifteen and Twenty-One are chosen by a prophecy to save the world from Four. Do they succeed?'
'Under what circumstances might Five and Seven fall in love?'
'Which character on the list would you most want on your side in a zombie invasion?'
'What would Two experience in Silent Hill?'
'What Pokémon would Eight have?'
'Write a drabble in which Sixteen and Nineteen FIGHT CRIME.' (...possibly not technically a question.)

3) After your flist has asked enough questions, round them up and answer them using the twenty-one (augh) characters you selected beforehand, then post them.

Ask away! (And please feel free to ask as many questions as you would like.)

SEVEN AND EIGHTEEN BUY SHOES. WHAT DO THEY DO WITH THESE SHOES HAVING BOUGHT THEM?

TWO AND TWENTY ARE CAUGHT SMOOCHING BY FIVE. WHAT ARE THE REACTIONS ALL ROUND?

NINE CREATES AN INTERNET SHRINE TO ELEVEN. WHAT IS THE WEBSITE ADDRESS?

Eight bribes Twelve to do their physics homework at (US) University. At what point does their teacher, Nineteen, find out, and what is the reaction of the three to this?

I fear that being able to SHOOT MY SHOPPING would lead to ridiculous over-spending.

Anyway, I think I might have to do this meme now, JUST SO I CAN INCLUDE DELAWARE SINGER ON MY LIST.

Twelve and Nineteen team up to fight crime. What is their superhero duo called, and which of them will eventually turn to a life of villainy leading the other to a regretful duel to the death in the name of justice?

Three and Five have sex. On a scale of one to ten, just how awkward is it? SHOW YOUR WORKINGS.

Oh, hahahaha, excellent! Just so you know, it is now my quest to ask questions involving everyone at least once.

1 and 3 become the Tenth Doctor's companions. How do the three meet? What kind of adventures do they have? Does the Tenth Doctor regret this decision? I hope 1 or 3 is the Tenth or Ninth Doctor.

2 and 5 versus 11 and 14 versus 9 and 15 in a dance contest. Who wins? Who tries to cheat? What kind of dances do they do?

4, 6, 15 and 17 try out for Britain's Got Talent seperately. What are their talents, and what do the judges think?

7 creates a livejournal. What is their lj name, and what do they write about?

It is revealed that 10 is actually the father or mother of 8! What does this mean to either 10 or 8?

12 and their Pokemon fights 20 and their Pokemon. What are their Pokemons and who wins?

13 decides to take over the world, and 21 decides to stop them. How does this turn out?

16 writes a poem. What's it like?

18 and 19 co-write a fanfic. What fandom is it for, what's it like, and do they manage to finish it?

1, 12 and 21 one characters in a horror movie. Who dies first?
2, 5, 18 and 4 form a band. What kind of music do they play and who is on what instrument?

How about 3, 7, and 13 discuss the finer points of the Harry/Hermione vs Harry/Ron shipwar.

Bonus points if one of the characters is actually a part of the ship war, but I just picked them because they are my favorite numbers.

I also love the awesomeness of that shopping idea! Although, if it wasn't just online, but all shopping, that was like that, things would get tricky.

Your father's kind of awesome, just so you know. I would love to shoot my shopping.

Ooh, I've never participated in one of these memes before... *slaps on Thinking Cap*

-6 founds a new religion. Who is its God and what are its Commandments?

-5 won't leave 11 alone until he/she loans him/her 100 whatever-money-denomination-is-appropriate. How does 8 solve the problem?

-12 and 3 wake up wearing each other's clothes and wondering what the heck happened last night. What did happen?

4 and 19 have a map to an uncharted island inhabited by zombies. 4 wants to go to the island to hunt for treasure but 19 (who has the only boat) doesn't. What happens? Do they argue for ages until they've forgotten about what they were arguing about? Does 19 eventually break down and take 4 to the island? If so, is there treasure and do they get eaten by zombies?

2,13, and 6 are on the internet together and discover topgearslash. They then decide to join and write fic for it. What kind of fic do they write?

7 has a cold. Who takes care of him/her/it, 5 or 11?

1 and 14 are in a relationship BUT 14 is secretly a zombie. How does 1 find out and subsequently react?

3, 9, and 17 are in a race. Who wins, who cheats, and who never even makes it to the finish line?

8 gets attacked by a giant squid while visiting 15. Who comes to his/her/its rescue, 21 or 12?

1o wants a date with 2o, who is too busy trying to gain the affections of 16. 16, on the other hand, is too distracted with taking care of his/her/its current love interest, 18, who is sick. What methods of wooing do 1o and 2o employ? What ailment does 18 suffer from? How does 16 go about healing 18?

*has now used all 21 numbers and does the woo dance*

Nine, twelve and six discuss whether your online shopping idea is viable.

12, 16 and 20 form a band, what's it called, what kind of music, and how long before the huge fight and subsequent break-up? (I just noticed there's a similar one already, but sod it, MOAR music ;))

In the film of 19's life, 3 is playing 19. What do both parties make of this, and which other number's playing the love interest?

5 is revealed to be the author under pseudonym of a successful series of books for pre-school children - the series' name, and subject matter, please :D

6, 10, 1 and 9 are sitting round a table having breakfast in a cheerful 50's style diner (plastic gingham tablecloth NOT optional). What do they order, what's the converstaion like, and is there any flirting?

I'm now reading your older version of this meme and DR. COX WALKING IN ON JACK HARKNESS'S EVIL THREESOME. Amazing. Okay, hmm.

What is 14's secret embarrassing guilty pleasure and how does 17 react upon the discovery of this information?

What sort of style would result from 10 cutting 16's hair? (Or I suppose they might not have hair, in which case, what would be the results of a forced overall makeover?)

Eight and twelve are supposed to be in relationships with ten and twenty, but are instead having an affair. Nine finds out about the affair and threatens to expose them. What happens next?

Four buys Thirteen a birthday present. What do they get?

Eight makes Twenty cry. How?

I LOVE THIS MEME PROBABLY MORE THAN IS APPROPRIATE.

While on a tour bus in South America, the numbers are captured by an outlandish tribe that demands all their clothing - even the clothes they're wearing. Refusal means DEATH. Who immediately strips? Who completely loses it and attacks the nearest member of the tribe? Who runs away as soon as someone's head is turned?

If 2 and 8 rented a movie, what would they rent?

7, 20, 17 - marry, shag, cliff?

One and three play a competitive pairs sport until it is discovered that three is allergic to one's skin flakes. They must find new partners, but who, and why? And, of course, what competitive sport?

1, 3, and 5 accidentally initiate the apocalypse. Whoops. Well, somehow, 21 always knew it was going to happen, and prepared for the day by forming 12, 6, and 14 into a crack squadron to safeguard the Earth and all the people in it. Unfortunately, said crack squad needs vital information from 9, which they attempt to retrieve only to discover that in a shocking twist of fate, 7 ate 9. (8, having witnessed this act, was so emotionally scarred that se felt the need to hide hirself in a psychiatric ward in New Jersey.)

1, 3, and 5, having realized their mistake, go to seek assistance in rectifying it from 20, but are mugged on the way by the crime-causing duo 15 and 18 and left bleeding on the Mancunian way. They wake up in 1973, where they meet 2 working out the final kinks on hir time machine; 2 sends them back to the present, but remains in 1973 in order to rescue 19, who has become the prisoner of '70s villain 10.

Crack Squad 12, 6, and 14 are working as hard as they can to solve the apocalypse when 4 arrives to tell them that they must seek to undo it at the source, and this can only be accomplished by use of a time machine. Se recommends 11 as the most likely one to have a time machine lying around, and while 6 and 14 think it's a great idea, 12 decides to find the people responsible for this in the first place under the assumption that no one voluntarily tries to start the apocalypse, and they might be willing to help. 6 and 14 leave with 4, and 12 strikes out on hir own.

1, 3, and 5 return to the scene of their crime only to be intercepted by 13, who warns them that the apocalypse is unstable and should not be tampered with. As if to prove this very fact 16 falls out of a rift in time and space before them, followed shortly thereafter by 19, who was not rescued by 2 but rather fell through, well, a rift in space and time.

6 and 14 arrive with their secret weapon, 17, who has convinced them that the only way to end the madness is to kill the instigators. 6, 14, and 17 and threaten to kill 1, 3, and 5 for beginning the apocalypse. 12 comes in at the last moment to prevent them from doing so, makes a passionate speech, and in doing to reminds them of their first plan of finding a time machine. 1 remembers 2's time machine, and 19 agrees that surely 2's time machine would be sufficient, and they hatch a cunning plan to retrieve it.

This involves calling up 21 to get hir to hit 12 and 1 with a car hard enough to send them back to 1973, where they have to rescue 2 from 10 before bringing the time machine (and 2!) back to the present day, where they undo the apocalypse and facilitate 2's joyful reunion with 19. Afterward, everyone there goes out for beer.

Write any scene or scenes from that story.

11 is pestering 21 for a date, so 21 lies and says s/he is dating 15. What does 15 think when s/he hears about it?

TWELVE, TWENTY AND FOUR BECOME HOUSE'S NEW DUCKLINGS. WHAT MADNESS ENSUES?

One meets Seven who is inexplicably a famous person (rockstar, actor, idk). How do they react?

Three and Six end up on opposite sides of a war (shipwar, anything) and are actually SEKRIT CHILDHOOD FRIENDS. Banter ensues.

Oh shit I would play the fuck out of that game and rack up a zillion bajillion dollars in debt because of it. :D:

12, 20, and 1 are ATTACKED BY ZOMBIES.

7 is trapped in Silent Hill, trying to find 14, who may or may not be dead. 21 is accompanying 7, and is either a real person or a Silent Hill-generated illusion, a la Maria. Go!

10 and 20 are the Star in a Reasonably-Priced car on Top Gear. 10 is flirting with Jeremy throughout the interview, which is interrupted after the Stig breaks in, sweeps 20 up in a passionate embrace (no actual kissing necessary), and carries him-her-or-otherly-gendered-being off the set.

"For our Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car tonight, we couldn't get anyone. No one at all! So I'm going to be boring and interview Richard and James. Stop them sneaking out for a smoke while I'm up here working."

---

"So, James, how long have you been a homosexual?"

"How long have you been fantasizing about me being one?"

"I'm assuming the motorcycle is so you have an excuse to swan about in leather trousers. Does you get many blokes checking out your arse? Particularly Richard, under drunk and embarrassing circumstances I can get you to repeat on national television?"

"I have not!"

"Well, there's one man I know who always seems to notice. Every time I ride my motorcycle around him, he stares at my bottom and makes remarks. He's constantly insinuating that I'm a homosexual, and can't stop talking about men, male attractiveness, and who is or isn't gay. Rather a blatant closet-case, but I think he could be a nice boyfriend once he grows out of it."

"Oh, God. You did not just say that. Jeremy, tell me he did not just say that. Oh, God, why are you smiling?"

"And in the meantime, you can always have another drunken summer romance with Oz Clarke."

"Actually, the principle problem of summers with Oz is that he doesn't let me drink enough."

"I would give anything not to be in this conversation right now."

---

"Well, that was unexpected."

"Jezza, did you know about Richard and the Stig?"

"Not a clue, mate. I didn't even know the helmet came off, let alone that Hamster would want to snog what was underneath."

"He did look happy."

"True. Want to shag? The entire audience collapsed in shock when the Stig opened his visor."

"I suppose."

"Homosexualist."

"Pikey."

"We'll find him, Jeremy."

"You keep saying that." Jeremy tucked the rifle into the back-holster he'd rigged up out of belts (actually just several belts, but it made the rifle look cool sticking out like that). "What if he's dead?"

"Don't be daft." Richard stopped and rested his chin on his plank. "It's James May. What are the chances that he would ever do anything dangerous enough to cause an early death? He'll be alive."

"Like you?" Jeremy didn't want to start that argument again, but he couldn't help himself.

Richard, predictably, glared. "What's that supposed to mean? I'm not sodding dead!" He punched Jeremy in his uninjured shoulder. "See, alive!"

"The caravans don't attack you, though." And his hair was all wrong. And his dress-sense was...off, like someone who didn't know him that well going for vaugely Hammond-ish. "If you're real, if you're alive, why don't they go after you? You've killed at least as many as I have."

Richard shook his head. "I don't know, okay! I don't bloody know! They just don't."

"Neither do the...dogs." The dog-things were murder when Jeremy was on his own, but all Richard had to do was take one look at them and they fled.

"You're getting paranoid, Jes. Trust me, I understand. It's this place, this blasted fog! It's getting to you. Look, we'll find James, leave this sodding town, and it'll all be okay. You'll see. I'm me, James is alive, and you..." Richard gave Jeremy a look. "You just need to get out of the fog."

Jeremy had heard that before. He was becoming less and less sure he believed it.

Still, he nodded and carried on. Because whoever or whatever Richard really was, he was keeping Jeremy safe from everything else out there.

And it wasn't like Jeremy had anywhere else to go. Not anymore.

Aww! I demand that this be extended. Poor Jeremy! Is Richard really Richard? Is James alive? Is Jeremy really Jeremy?

The other one was pretty funny as well.

Thanks, but I'm not continuing. No one would like how it turned out.

I've worked out that it'll be Dean Winchester looking for James Sunderland in Silent Hill with some guy I've never heard of, and The Master flirting with Jeremy Clarkson before some guy I never heard of runs off with the Stig, so I'm very excited about Riona's versions. Although I rather wish I'd managed to work Pyramid Head in, because Pyramid Head/Stig would be an astounding couple.

I'd want to see how it turns out! *pouts*

Yeah, I've worked out that I've got Jack Harkness and Sharpay Evans and some guy I've never heard of discovering tgs, which should be interesting, and Pyramid Head getting attacked by a giant squid while visiting Phineas Nigellus and (asdflgjk! I've just realized that there's a squid at Hogwarts where PN is!) his only hope for rescue is either a loon or a murderer, which I cannot wait to see what comes of that.

(bytheway, have you managed to cath this (http://bubbles-san.livejournal.com/16492.html) post yet?)

It wouldn't end well.

And Jack, Sharpay, and Mystery Man finding TGS should be fun. And you've just made me feel sorry for the Hogwarts squid, picturing it going up against Pyramid Head.

Awesome poll! I'm going to have to stick with you/Stig.

*puppy dog eyes*

I know! He's not even going to need the crazy guy or the murderer! (the really sad part is that I've not even heard of SH before meeting Riona. Is this what she does to people?)

Everyone's doing that! It has apparently become bubbles!fic *canon* that I keep him in one of my closets (actually, he's not happy with me right now, as I have been abusing my GR icon today and he rather suspects I might fangirl him as well and I'm not entirely sure he's wrong help.)

Riona does this to everyone! It's what she does!

The downside of abusing the Gordon Ramsey icon is that I tend to visualize people as their icons. The upside is that it makes me want to nudge you into writing Gordon Ramsey/James May.

Er here? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTOfhQ_SZEg

I was digging through this box of old notebooks and loose paper and found this massive crossover I started a few years ago so at least I know it's not entirely her fault.

I've only been abusing it today, because I got up super early this morning and was too incoherent to pick out specific icons for each comment, so I started using it and decided that I would only use that one today. (Does that mean you picture me as an abrasive chef with a pet Sandshrew?)

(I've already seen that, but have no problems watching it again) ARGH That didn't help! But now I may actually may decide to write it. (The only problem I have with writing GR is that I don't really like to write swearing.) But seriously! I don't want to fangirl Gordon Ramsay! I meant help as in help me stop! And watching that again it is rediculously slashy. Why didn't I notice before?

Yes, I do. In my head you swear a lot (out loud, not typing), cook nearly as well as James May, and have a Sandshrew Pokemon sitting on your shoulder.

You only get one kind of help around here, and it isn't help to stop. And I do hope you write it; it's unbelievably slashy. He touches James a lot, practically molests him with a hairnet, has this bizarre excited nervous vibe, and gets James to eat cock!

That's odd, because I don't really like swearing. There are numerous reasons (one of them involving a dictionary and another involving soap and yet another! involving "A Christmas Story"), but my favorites are that I would be rubbish at it anyway, and that when you don't swear you get to use all the most creative exclams. Plus, you don't have to check yourself in polite company.

I"m still a bit stuck on the oven bit where James says he'll be on the bottom. My brain may have actually short-circuited at that point, as I didn't actually have the video up and was merely listening to it.

3 is a superhero. What is their secret power?
