4. Illyana Rasputin (X-Men)
5. Methos (Highlander: The Series)
6. Mal Reynolds (Firefly)

omorka asked: 6, 9, and 12 walk into a greasy spoon at the same time, sit down at the counter (together or separately, your call), and all order the same thing. The diner only has one serving left. How do they handle it?
So Malcolm Reynolds, Sherlock Holmes, and Uther Pendragon all walk into a greasy spoon diner. Uther Pendragon is infuriated that, being king, they wouldn’t automatically serve him and him alone. He challenges them all to a duel on their best steeds after threatening to have them either put to death or placed in the stocks. Sherlock Holmes and Malcolm Reynolds stare at him.
Mal shoots him dead (and thus, Arthur is crowned king in Camelot if Uther’s body gets back to them). Sherlock attempts to create a brain breaking puzzle that will leave Mal scratching his head for hours, while Sherlock grabs the serving of whatever the meal was and runs into the night. Perhaps he will share his meal with John, but it isn’t likely. Mal muses that Sherlock should have been part of his crew, with his skill for deception…before wondering just how he’s going to get back to the future and to his ship.
persiflage_1 asked: 8 and 11 are trapped in a lift for four hours - how do they pass the time?
Egon Spengler and Kitty Pryde are trapped together in the elevator. First of all, we need to make sure that Kitty’s powers are on the fritz in that elevator, or they could easily escape via her phasing—and that Egon doesn’t have his proton pack at hand. Knowing the two of them, they would pass the time in a discussion of physics. Kitty might answer any questions about mutations Egon would have, while Egon would answer any questions on particle acceleration. And no, he wouldn’t give her the schematics for building any containment units to trap students or teachers who annoy her. With all the debating and speculation going on between the two of them, they might tell their rescuers to come back in a few minutes, when the discussion has finished.
silvercobwebs asked: 1 & 5 are engaged in a first-class argument - who knows the best insults?
Doc Brown vs. Methos. I have to give this round to Methos—he’s lived longer, and would know more and better insults. Even if Doc could throw around a lot of amusing and science based insults. In the end, Doc might give up and offer a ride in his DeLorean (or train, depending on when it takes place). Methos would turn him down, just in case he crossed his own timeline.
brewsternorth asked: 4 and 14 are abducted by aliens. What happens?
Illyana Rasputin and Jack Harkness are abducted by aliens. Those aliens are doomed. It could go either way, really. Seduction of the aliens by Jack Harkness, while Illyana is grim, but amused. Or wholesale slaughter at Illyana’s hands, with her possibly throwing a few to Limbo’s demons. When they’re done, it’s a grim nod of acknowledgement from each—and then Jack uses his vortex manipulator to teleport out, while Illyana uses a stepping disk.
snowcoma asked: 4 and 14 have a tryst, and a child is conceived. How does 6 react to the news?
Illyana and Jack must have conceived a child following the escape from the aliens, if they happened to bump into each other again. Her magic must have gone horribly wrong that night, or else that probably wouldn’t have happened. I don’t think Mal would care. He would wonder who these two strange people were, and why they were telling him.
lafemmedarla asked: What is 3's favorite kind of cake? Would 7 like or would they ask for a different flavor?
The Tenth Doctor? Anything banana flavored. Merlin would be forced to conjure up his own cake, since I doubt the Tenth Doctor would willingly share it. Especially if there were edible ball bearings included on top.
deathpixie asked: 10 and 2 are handcuffed together and have to escape the bad guys. How well do they handle that?
Willow and Daniel? They would probably get into a long and rambling discussion on ancient civilizations and magic. She would discuss her experience with demons and hell gods, while he would tell her all about Go’aulds. And how often he’s died. Buffy and the rest would storm the place (with SG-1 close behind) to rescue them, only to find that they had escaped from the handcuffs hours ago, and were engaged in a heated debate on some obscure subject while the bad guys just shook their heads and shrugged.
newnumber6 asked: 13 and 15 switch universes (if applicable) and are expected to perform the other's duties/role. How do they do, and what wacky hijinks ensue?
Booster Gold in the Doctor Who universe? Possibly as a companion? Well, he already has experience with messing up some time travel and having the universe pretty much implode, so he would know what not to do. Donna Noble (pre-mind wiped) in the DC Universe? If Batman tried to scare her, she would simply slap him, before giving him a piece of her mind. As she turns to pace while ranting, he tries to vanish as usual—but she orders him to stay put. Commissioner Gordon would be amused.
11 has the opportunity to steal one thing/power/important person from 5. Which one does he/she chose, and how do they both cope?
Kitty might steal Methos’ oldest sword, if only for a day or so. It wouldn't be a sword that he uses to fight other Immortals, so he should be okay. Since Methos' earliest memories are foggy, Kitty would probably be trying to ascertain just how old he really was, based on what she assumes to be one of his first swords. Methos would grab a beer and watch.
8 is a guest on a daytime talk show. What's the topic?
It’s Egon, so it’s either nuclear physics, or ghosts.
9 and 10 are handcuffed together with an unbreakable chain. The only way it comes off is if one of them is dead. Which, if any, snaps first?
Daniel Jackson and Sherlock Holmes? Well, since Daniel ascends pretty much every other day before returning to life, I would say Holmes would calmly stab him after assessing the situation Daniel’s dead, chains come off. He ascends, comes back, and is both furious and grateful. While Sherlock is very calm about it all.
1 and 14 go to the movies together, but just as friends. Who of the OTHER characters does each take as a date?
Doc Brown and Jack Harkness go to the movies as friends. That would be interesting. I imagine that Jack would take Donna Noble as his date. If Doc isn’t married to Clara, he would take Willow. If the movie was boring, they could still have an interesting discussion.
All 15 characters are kidnapped by all-powerful beings and forced to fight to the death until only one of them is alive. If there's no winner after 3 days, all of them die. What's the outcome?
The Doctor would probably be able to talk to the beings and unleash the wrath of The Oncoming Storm just enough that they would be terrified into letting them go. And if they didn’t they have Methos acting like Death to go after them, Jack Harkness--the man who can’t die, Donna Noble, a Ghostbuster, Mal, Merlin, Uther Pendragon, and all the others. The kidnappers? They chose poorly. They are swiftly dealt with.
