Return of the meme
Feb. 1st, 2012 11:09 pmWorkload continues insane. Averaging ~200 pages of course-related reading per day, in addition to attending classes. Robinson Crusoe can bite me. (Also, H out of surgery, which apparently went fine, but not yet out of hospital. Still much drama.) Dragaera and memes keeping me sane.
1. Seven (Tonks) kidnaps Nine (Tosh) and demands something from Five (Aliera) for Nine's release. What is it?
Probably magical and/or financial and/or military aid for the Order of the Phoenix. But things would have to have gotten really, really bad for Tonks to even consider kidnapping anyone, let alone a Muggle. She saw Tosh enthusiastically explaining some gadget or other to Aliera once, and took that to mean they were friends, and so is trying to use her as leverage. However, Tonks definitely isn’t very good at this “criminal mastermind” business, and is rather nonplussed when Aliera doesn’t really care what happens to the mousy Easterner she met that one time.
2. Four (Temeraire) invites Three (Cersei) and Eight (Charles) to dinner at their own house. What happens?
Cersei would be savvy enough to show up wearing every shiny, glittery thing she owns, initially charming Temeraire. However, after a quick scan of her mind, Charles knows that Cersei means to draw Temeraire into the various wars in Westeros as a valuable asset for the Lannisters, and tricks her into saying something bitchy and/or revealing (for example, that she would replace Laurence with Joffrey as Temeraire’s captain), and Temeraire would become furious and kick her out (because haha no). Charles and Temeraire would then have a lovely evening talking about literature and music, and Charles introduces the concept of genetics to Temeraire.
3. You need to stay at a friend's house for a night. Whose house, Ten (Spike) or Six (George)?
Oh, George, for sure. Aside from the whole thing where he would, y’know, eat me, Spike lives in a mausoleum, so it definitely wouldn’t be comfortable. George, on the other hand, would put me up in a nice room in the Dancing Dove, which would allow me to sit in the corner and watch him BAMF it up at the Court of the Rogue. Alternately, if he were already the Baron of Pirate’s Swoop, that would be just as good, if not better. I wouldn’t get to meet as many interesting people (probably, depending on who’s visiting Pirate’s Swoop at the moment), and there almost certainly wouldn’t be as much excitement, but I would get to say hi to Alanna and the kids, and maybe Myles, Daine, and Numair as well.
4. Five (Aliera) and Two (Faramir) are making out when Four (Temeraire) walks in. Four's reaction?
As people tend to notice when Temeraire walks into a room, Faramir is horribly embarrassed and leaps away. After a lot of red-faced sputtering on his part, and equal amounts of smirking on Aliera’s, it comes out that Aliera realized that Faramir was kinda into her, and mind-whammied him into making out with her, with an option for things to progress beyond that. Faramir is furious (but very secretly a little turned on) and stomps off in a huff. Aliera and Temeraire share an eyeroll at the inexplicable morality of humans/Easterners.
5. Three (Cersei) falls in love with Seven (Tonks). Six (George) is jealous. What happens?
Cersei cottons on to George’s feelings pretty quickly, and what starts off as a few rounds of faux-friendly verbal sniping and general bitchiness quickly escalates into full-on assassination attempts. At this point, someone tells Tonks what’s going on, and she firmly tells them that neither of them are her type. Cersei is offended that anyone can resist her charms, but Jaime is secretly relieved when she turns (most of) her attentions back to him. George shrugs and gets on with forgetting his crush.
6. Nine (Tosh) jumps you in a dark alleyway. Who rescues you, Eight (Charles), Ten (Spike), or One (Susan)?
First, being jumped by Tosh would be like being attacked by a puppy. A really fluffy puppy that’s still stumbling over its own feet and can’t even dent your shoe. But if she became possessed or something, and somehow became physically dangerous, Charles would be game, but would try a mental attack first. Spike would just laugh, unless Buffy were watching, in which case he’d make a big show of trying to save me but not actually trying that hard. Eminently practical Susan would probably walk right on by, leading both me and Tosh to assume that she can’t really be bothered, but would secretly double around back and come up the alley behind Tosh to knock her out with whatever was handy.
7. Two (Faramir) decides to start a cooking show. Fifteen minutes later, what happens?
He’s spent the entire time demonstrating how to build a smokeless fire. When he tells the camera crew that they’ll have to wait six hours for him to come back from patrol, hopefully with some rabbits or something, they decide to opt for something a little less time-intensive/more engaging and go look for Sam.
8. Five (Aliera) has to marry either Four (Temeraire), Seven (Tonks), or One (Susan). Who do they choose?
She’d want to marry Tonks, just to study how the hell her genetics allow her to shapeshift, largely independent of her status as a witch, but would be horribly unhappy with her. Even given that Tonks is Chaotic Good enough to join the Order of the Phoenix despite the Ministry of Magic’s decree, she’d be deeply uncomfortable with some of Aliera’s…less admirable traits. Aliera would work best with Susan, though, as Susan wouldn’t get fussed too often and would be able to take Aliera in stride.
9. Everyone gangs up on Six (George). Does Six stand a chance?
As much as I hate to admit it, probably not. He has the Gift, yes, but he’d be up against a dragon, a telepath, a vampire, a technological genius, a semi-divine being (or whatever you’d classify Susan as), and at least three magic users. Yeah, sorry, George…
10. You need to borrow an umbrella. Which one; Four (Temeraire), Nine (Tosh), or Three (Cersei)?
Could I just use Temeraire *as* an umbrella? (If I had to borrow one, though, it would be from Tosh, because Temeraire wouldn’t have one and Cersei would see loaning me one as me owing her a favor.)
11. Why is Six (George) afraid of Seven (Tonks)?
Because Seven (Tonks) ate Nine (Tosh)! :D I see what u did thar! I guess George would be afraid that anyone that meek and mild-mannered is either hiding something big, about to snap and go on a bloody rampage, or both. Also, he wouldn’t understand her tech, and think that she’s an extremely powerful, somewhat uncontrollable, wizard.
12. What anime would be Two (Faramir)'s favorite?
Hmm…I haven’t been active in any anime fandoms for ages, but I could see him liking something like Hetalia, that’s full of elaborate historical in-jokes, and that he could exercise his brain by watching.
13. Ten (Spike) arrives late for Nine (Tosh) and Four (Temeraire)'s wedding. What happens and why were they late?
They “forgot” (read: didn’t want him to come), and held it in the daytime. Not-so-secretly, Spike is pleased as punch that he got to sit around watching his soaps all day instead of having to dress up and play nice with people.
14. Who would make a better college professor: Nine (Tosh) or Eight (Charles)?
Oh, Charles, definitely. He is an actual teacher, after all. Tosh would be very passionate about her subject, but would be too shy to teach a large class. She’d do great with a small graduate seminar or something, though.
15. Nine (Tosh) murders Ten (Spike)'s best friend (Has to be someone on the list). What does Ten do to get back?
Um…kill her? Messily? He’d probably kill her messily anyway, but taking out Angel or Buffy or someone would definitely give him incentive.
16. Five (Aliera) and Eight (Charles) are in mortal danger. Does Five save Eight or themselves?
Herself, without a moment’s hesitation, unless Charles manages to convince her that the X-Men would hunt her down and kill her if she left him to die, which he probably could. So she would end up saving him, but grudgingly, and it definitely wouldn’t be her first instinct.
17. The Big Bad Wolf just blew over Five (Aliera)'s house! Who do they run to for protection: Four (Temeraire), Nine (Tosh), or One (Susan)?
Temeraire, because he could blow right back, and Aliera would love to see that bastard taken down. (This is assuming, of course, that she is somehow being prevented from just going and doing it herself.)
What would you do if:
18. Nine (Tosh) woke you up in the middle of the night?
Run. Because the only reason Tosh would be up and waking people up in the middle of the night is an imminent alien invasion.
19. Five (Aliera) walked into the bathroom while you're showering?
Er…remind her of Easterner privacy rules (as I’m still not too sure about where Dragaerans stand on nudity taboo/privacy issues).
20. Three (Cersei) announced (s)he's going to marry Six (George) tomorrow?
Go warn George, because he probably doesn’t know about it yet, and if he does, almost certainly hasn’t consented.
21. Two (Faramir) cooked you dinner?
Say thanks, I guess. I could see Faramir being a definitely palatable, if not exactly fancy, cook. He probably learned to cook while ranging in Ithilien, so he’d be good at working with whatever he had, but would be limited in cooking methods that don’t involve a campfire.
22. Eight (Charles) was lying next to you on the beach, sleeping?
Quietly squee to myself for a moment, because he would probably be kind of adorable asleep. Then I’d be glad that he wasn’t awake to hear that thought.
23. One (Susan) suddenly confessed to be part of your family?
Be half-intrigued (does this mean I get to meet Death, ride Binky, get superpowers, etc.?) and half-alarmed (members of Death’s family tend to live in interesting times).
24. Four (Temeraire) got into the hospital somehow?
Console Laurence and keep him from freaking out.
25. Seven (Tonks) made fun of your friends?
Probably laugh it off, because I can’t see her being truly snide or malicious.
26. Six (George) ignored Two (Faramir) all the time?
Suggest they trade stories about their warrior wives, which will hopefully at least get them laughing, if not sympathizing with each other.
27. Two serial killers are hunting you down. What would Four (Temeraire) do?
Assuming that I’m on his crew, or somehow someone else he cares about, his first instinct would be to fly me to a safe, isolated area and then proceed to find, and then stomp on, the killers. Upon reflection, though, he would wait for them to strike again, at which point he and Laurence could arrest them.
28. It's your birthday. What does Eight (Charles) get you?
Exactly what I want, of course! One of the parks of being a telepath is never having to guess what presents people want.
29. You're stuck in a house that's on fire. What does Seven (Tonks) do?
Perform a Freezing Charm or Aguamenti to put the fire out, and then check around to see if it was set by an Ashwinder, Dark wizard, or similar.
30. You're about to do something that'll make you feel extremely embarrassed. What will Three (Cersei) do?
Tape it, and then hold the tape for ransom.
31. You're about to marry Ten (Spike). What's Nine (Tosh)'s reaction?
“Um…okay…if that makes you happy, I guess. Jack, where’s the mind-control detector?”
32. Five (Aliera) hates One (Susan). Why?
Susan won’t tell her exactly how she came to be Death’s granddaughter, and won’t let her perform a genetic scan, which is driving Aliera insane with curiosity. Otherwise, though, I think they’d get on fairly well.
33. You got dumped by someone. How will One (Susan) cheer you up?
Give me something useful to do to keep me busy and to stop me moping. And if that “something useful to do” ends up in life-affirming and/or morale-raising hijinks, that’s no skin off her nose.
34. You compete in a tournament. How does Three (Cersei) support you?
By showing her confidence in me by putting me up against the Kingslayer and the Mountain, in that order. Oh, and sending me some fortified wine to help me relax right before I’m up.
35. Nine (Tosh) is all you've ever dreamed of. Why?
Hmm…she’s loyal, extremely smart, and pretty, if not exactly striking enough to be my type. She and I would have a very restful, supportive, polite relationship, but we would both be too shy to bring up any problems that we have.
36. Eight (Charles) tells you about his/her deeply hidden love for Four (Temeraire).
Gently try to convince him that his fascination with Temeraire (who is brilliant and whose mind definitely works differently than a human’s) is intellectual curiosity and/or friendship, not love, although it’s easy to be mistaken.
37. You're dating Two (Faramir) and he introduces you to his parents. Would you get along?
Not really, I think. His mother would be dead by the time he was of dating age, and while Deneathor is too imposing for me to stand up to directly, I’d resent his treatment of Faramir and give him the cold shoulder accordingly, and he'd be displeased that I'm not of noble blood.
38. Six (George) thinks he/she'll never get a girl/boyfriend. What will you tell him/her?
“The line is a slightly blurry one, but you’ll have first one, then the other.” *trollface*
39. One (Susan) and Five (Aliera) are forced to go back to school together. What study will they pick?
Aliera would study genetics, of course. Susan would take a little bit of everything, but for some reason I could see her focusing on anthropology and/or sociology, considering the number of anthropomorphic personifications she knows.
40. If Seven (Tonks) and Six (George) cooked dinner what would they make?
Something simple, filling, and probably fried. Eggs and sausage/bacon, maybe? Although Tonks would be banished from the kitchen after lighting herself on fire for the third time.
41. Three (Cersei) and Eight (Charles) apply for a job. What job?
Something high-powered and people-oriented. Diplomat, maybe? Or some sort of PR/propaganda work? CEO, perhaps? Cersei would get the job initially, but she would screw up spectacularly and they’d bring Charles in to clean up the mess. Basically, think of the Ocean Marketing kerfuffle from a few weeks back, only more international.
42. Ten (Spike) gives Two (Faramir) a haircut. Is that okay?
Definitely not. aside from the inadvisability of giving a vampire called Spike a pair of scissors and free access to someone’s head, he’d give pretty-boy Faramir a deliberately awful haircut just because he can.
43. Four (Temeraire) sketches what One (Susan)'s perfect partner should look like; will One be happy?
Yes! Temeraire would take “partner” in the “dragon-and-captain” sense and draw Perscitia. Susan would originally not want to be bothered, but once she and Perscitia got together and started talking strategy and logic and how stupid it is to charge out and get yourself killed for no reason, they’d both be slightly enamored.
44. Six (George) and Eight (Charles) are blushing while they talk. What is their conversation about?
Wow, something that could make George blush? Maybe he was thinking about something he an Alanna got up to after putting the kids to bed, or possibly in their wilder youth, and Charles picked up on it by accident.
45. Seven (Tonks) sent a message to his/her BF/GF but Five (Aliera) got it. What would happen?
“To the best of my knowledge, you and I have never had sex, so how can we have a son? Do Easterners pollenate? Or is this a witch thing?”
46. What would Five (Aliera) think of Four (Temeraire)?
She’d be impressed by his size, strength, Divine Wind, intelligence, and the fact that he’s a literal Dragon, but she would be perplexed and slightly disappointed that he doesn’t use his obvious superiority to just take off, or at least not let mere Easterners boss him around.
47. How would Ten (Spike) greet Eight (Charles)?
Spike: *don’tthinkaboutBuffydon’tthinkaboutBuffydon’tthinkaboutBuffyohfuckIjustthoughtaboutBuffy* “That wasn’t what it looked like! Imagining making out with one’s deadly enemy is a perfectly normal part of being a vampire! Did I mention I’m a vampire? All undead and soulless, with absolutely no capacity to love? Rawr? …Oh, bugger.”
Charles: *grin*
48. What would Seven (Tonks) envy about One (Susan)?
Her gracefulness, and the fact that her name is Susan, which is impossible to misspell, sounds perfectly normal, and has no embarrassing nicknames.
49. What do Six (George) and Four (Temeraire) have in common?
Occasional obsessive need to protect their loved ones, willingness to shed blood in defense of same, general disregard for rules.
50. Ten (Spike) tries to take over the world. What happens?
He (re-)becomes the Big Bad and is defeated in the season finale when Buffy uses his feelings for her against him, although she feels horrible about doing so.
1. Susan Sto Helit (Discworld)
2. Faramir (Lord of the Rings)
3. Cersei Lannister (A Song of Ice and Fire)
4. Temeraire (Temeraire)
5. Aliera e’Kieron (Dragaera)
6. George Cooper (Tortall universe)
7. Nymphadora Tonks (Harry Potter)
8. Charles Xavier (X-Men [all incarnations, but especially X-Men First Class])
9. Toshiko Sato (Torchwood)
10. Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
1. Seven (Tonks) kidnaps Nine (Tosh) and demands something from Five (Aliera) for Nine's release. What is it?
Probably magical and/or financial and/or military aid for the Order of the Phoenix. But things would have to have gotten really, really bad for Tonks to even consider kidnapping anyone, let alone a Muggle. She saw Tosh enthusiastically explaining some gadget or other to Aliera once, and took that to mean they were friends, and so is trying to use her as leverage. However, Tonks definitely isn’t very good at this “criminal mastermind” business, and is rather nonplussed when Aliera doesn’t really care what happens to the mousy Easterner she met that one time.
2. Four (Temeraire) invites Three (Cersei) and Eight (Charles) to dinner at their own house. What happens?
Cersei would be savvy enough to show up wearing every shiny, glittery thing she owns, initially charming Temeraire. However, after a quick scan of her mind, Charles knows that Cersei means to draw Temeraire into the various wars in Westeros as a valuable asset for the Lannisters, and tricks her into saying something bitchy and/or revealing (for example, that she would replace Laurence with Joffrey as Temeraire’s captain), and Temeraire would become furious and kick her out (because haha no). Charles and Temeraire would then have a lovely evening talking about literature and music, and Charles introduces the concept of genetics to Temeraire.
3. You need to stay at a friend's house for a night. Whose house, Ten (Spike) or Six (George)?
Oh, George, for sure. Aside from the whole thing where he would, y’know, eat me, Spike lives in a mausoleum, so it definitely wouldn’t be comfortable. George, on the other hand, would put me up in a nice room in the Dancing Dove, which would allow me to sit in the corner and watch him BAMF it up at the Court of the Rogue. Alternately, if he were already the Baron of Pirate’s Swoop, that would be just as good, if not better. I wouldn’t get to meet as many interesting people (probably, depending on who’s visiting Pirate’s Swoop at the moment), and there almost certainly wouldn’t be as much excitement, but I would get to say hi to Alanna and the kids, and maybe Myles, Daine, and Numair as well.
4. Five (Aliera) and Two (Faramir) are making out when Four (Temeraire) walks in. Four's reaction?
As people tend to notice when Temeraire walks into a room, Faramir is horribly embarrassed and leaps away. After a lot of red-faced sputtering on his part, and equal amounts of smirking on Aliera’s, it comes out that Aliera realized that Faramir was kinda into her, and mind-whammied him into making out with her, with an option for things to progress beyond that. Faramir is furious (but very secretly a little turned on) and stomps off in a huff. Aliera and Temeraire share an eyeroll at the inexplicable morality of humans/Easterners.
5. Three (Cersei) falls in love with Seven (Tonks). Six (George) is jealous. What happens?
Cersei cottons on to George’s feelings pretty quickly, and what starts off as a few rounds of faux-friendly verbal sniping and general bitchiness quickly escalates into full-on assassination attempts. At this point, someone tells Tonks what’s going on, and she firmly tells them that neither of them are her type. Cersei is offended that anyone can resist her charms, but Jaime is secretly relieved when she turns (most of) her attentions back to him. George shrugs and gets on with forgetting his crush.
6. Nine (Tosh) jumps you in a dark alleyway. Who rescues you, Eight (Charles), Ten (Spike), or One (Susan)?
First, being jumped by Tosh would be like being attacked by a puppy. A really fluffy puppy that’s still stumbling over its own feet and can’t even dent your shoe. But if she became possessed or something, and somehow became physically dangerous, Charles would be game, but would try a mental attack first. Spike would just laugh, unless Buffy were watching, in which case he’d make a big show of trying to save me but not actually trying that hard. Eminently practical Susan would probably walk right on by, leading both me and Tosh to assume that she can’t really be bothered, but would secretly double around back and come up the alley behind Tosh to knock her out with whatever was handy.
7. Two (Faramir) decides to start a cooking show. Fifteen minutes later, what happens?
He’s spent the entire time demonstrating how to build a smokeless fire. When he tells the camera crew that they’ll have to wait six hours for him to come back from patrol, hopefully with some rabbits or something, they decide to opt for something a little less time-intensive/more engaging and go look for Sam.
8. Five (Aliera) has to marry either Four (Temeraire), Seven (Tonks), or One (Susan). Who do they choose?
She’d want to marry Tonks, just to study how the hell her genetics allow her to shapeshift, largely independent of her status as a witch, but would be horribly unhappy with her.

Aliera would work best with Susan, though, as Susan wouldn’t get fussed too often and would be able to take Aliera in stride.
9. Everyone gangs up on Six (George). Does Six stand a chance?
As much as I hate to admit it, probably not. He has the Gift, yes, but he’d be up against a dragon, a telepath, a vampire, a technological genius, a semi-divine being (or whatever you’d classify Susan as), and at least three magic users. Yeah, sorry, George…
10. You need to borrow an umbrella. Which one; Four (Temeraire), Nine (Tosh), or Three (Cersei)?
Could I just use Temeraire *as* an umbrella? (If I had to borrow one, though, it would be from Tosh, because Temeraire wouldn’t have one and Cersei would see loaning me one as me owing her a favor.)
11. Why is Six (George) afraid of Seven (Tonks)?
12. What anime would be Two (Faramir)'s favorite?
Hmm…I haven’t been active in any anime fandoms for ages, but I could see him liking something like Hetalia, that’s full of elaborate historical in-jokes, and that he could exercise his brain by watching.
13. Ten (Spike) arrives late for Nine (Tosh) and Four (Temeraire)'s wedding. What happens and why were they late?

20. Three (Cersei) announced (s)he's going to marry Six (George) tomorrow?
Go warn George, because he probably doesn’t know about it yet, and if he does, almost certainly hasn’t consented.
21. Two (Faramir) cooked you dinner?
Say thanks, I guess. I could see Faramir being a definitely palatable, if not exactly fancy, cook. He probably learned to cook while ranging in Ithilien, so he’d be good at working with whatever he had, but would be limited in cooking methods that don’t involve a campfire.
22. Eight (Charles) was lying next to you on the beach, sleeping?

“The line is a slightly blurry one, but you’ll have first one, then the other.” *trollface*
39. One (Susan) and Five (Aliera) are forced to go back to school together. What study will they pick?
Aliera would study genetics, of course. Susan would take a little bit of everything, but for some reason I could see her focusing on anthropology and/or sociology, considering the number of anthropomorphic personifications she knows.
40. If Seven (Tonks) and Six (George) cooked dinner what would they make?
Something simple, filling, and probably fried. Eggs and sausage/bacon, maybe? Although Tonks would be banished from the kitchen after lighting herself on fire for the third time.
41. Three (Cersei) and Eight (Charles) apply for a job. What job?
Something high-powered and people-oriented. Diplomat, maybe? Or some sort of PR/propaganda work? CEO, perhaps? Cersei would get the job initially, but she would screw up spectacularly and they’d bring Charles in to clean up the mess. Basically, think of the Ocean Marketing kerfuffle from a few weeks back, only more international.
42. Ten (Spike) gives Two (Faramir) a haircut. Is that okay?
Definitely not. aside from the inadvisability of giving a vampire called Spike a pair of scissors and free access to someone’s head, he’d give pretty-boy Faramir a deliberately awful haircut just because he can.
43. Four (Temeraire) sketches what One (Susan)'s perfect partner should look like; will One be happy?
Yes! Temeraire would take “partner” in the “dragon-and-captain” sense and draw Perscitia. Susan would originally not want to be bothered, but once she and Perscitia got together and started talking strategy and logic and how stupid it is to charge out and get yourself killed for no reason, they’d both be slightly enamored.
44. Six (George) and Eight (Charles) are blushing while they talk. What is their conversation about?
Wow, something that could make George blush? Maybe he was thinking about something he an Alanna got up to after putting the kids to bed, or possibly in their wilder youth, and Charles picked up on it by accident.
45. Seven (Tonks) sent a message to his/her BF/GF but Five (Aliera) got it. What would happen?
“To the best of my knowledge, you and I have never had sex, so how can we have a son? Do Easterners pollenate? Or is this a witch thing?”
46. What would Five (Aliera) think of Four (Temeraire)?
She’d be impressed by his size, strength, Divine Wind, intelligence, and the fact that he’s a literal Dragon, but she would be perplexed and slightly disappointed that he doesn’t use his obvious superiority to just take off, or at least not let mere Easterners boss him around.
47. How would Ten (Spike) greet Eight (Charles)?
Spike: *don’tthinkaboutBuffydon’tthinkaboutBuffydon’tthinkaboutBuffyohfuckIjustthoughtaboutBuffy* “That wasn’t what it looked like! Imagining making out with one’s deadly enemy is a perfectly normal part of being a vampire! Did I mention I’m a vampire? All undead and soulless, with absolutely no capacity to love? Rawr? …Oh, bugger.”
Charles: *grin*
48. What would Seven (Tonks) envy about One (Susan)?
Her gracefulness, and the fact that her name is Susan, which is impossible to misspell, sounds perfectly normal, and has no embarrassing nicknames.
49. What do Six (George) and Four (Temeraire) have in common?
Occasional obsessive need to protect their loved ones, willingness to shed blood in defense of same, general disregard for rules.
50. Ten (Spike) tries to take over the world. What happens?
He (re-)becomes the Big Bad and is defeated in the season finale when Buffy uses his feelings for her against him, although she feels horrible about doing so.

Date: 2012-02-02 08:01 am (UTC)Could I just use Temeraire *as* an umbrella?
Heh.
Also tickled that Charles was one of the two picked for the professor question. Easiest answer ever!
28. It's your birthday. What does Eight (Charles) get you?
Exactly what I want, of course! One of the parks of being a telepath is never having to guess what presents people want.
Handy! :D
I'm even more tickled that you got Cersei for those two "supportive" questions.
(as I’m still not too sure about where Dragaerans stand on nudity taboo/privacy issues)
You know, I'm not either. I get the feeling that they probably tend to be a bit less prudish than Easterners, but I have no idea where I'm getting that -- probably just making that up.

A lot of these questions were kind of awesome in that they put characters in these perfect situations, such as whether Charles would be a good teacher or pretty much everything involving Cersei. XD

Yeah, that was my initial thought, too. Somehow I just can't see it as something that they're incredibly concerned with.
