Questions from schneefink:

3 is turned into a vampire. How does 7 react, and would 7 let 3 bite them in an emergency?

3 is Jonathan Harker. 7 is Mr. Morden. Mr. Morden as a vampire, can keep saying "What do you want?" nightly, for the rest of eternity, while Jonathan starts serving the Shadows as his new Master, too. The Shadows can get around stakings.

2 is the king/queen, 5 their loyal knight, and 9 the evil sorcerer trying to take over the kingdom - do they succeed?

Londo becomes king. Peter Vincent is his loyal night and the Tenth Doctor is an evil sorceror. I feel like the answer is yes, they probably would with all the stuff they have at their disposal.

If 1, 4, and 12 tried to steal the same object, who would win?

Amanda, Lucy Weston, and Methos are trying to steal the same object. Well, Lucy uses hypnosis on anyone that stands in her way if she’s a vampire. Amanda and Methos have tried to team up like this before in Highlander: The Series, even if it didn’t go quite as planned in the end. If Lucy isn’t staked, then they all team up and eventually figure out who needs the object more.

If 6, 10, 13, 14, and 15 form a team, who would be hitter/hacker/grifter/thief/mastermind?

Elizabeth, Willow, Dana, Vanessa, and Edith are all on a team. The hacker must be Willow. The mastermind is Edith. The thief—let’s say that could be Dana. The grifter is Vanessa. This leaves the role of hitter to fall squarely on Elizabeth’s shoulders, which would be interesting. Just throw a lantern at someone and run.

Question from dolimir_k:

Characters 3 and 7 have survived a natural disaster. They come across character 12. Describe the meeting.

Jonathan and Mr. Morden survived a disaster. They meet Methos. Well, I can't quite say what would happen, but it's interesting that Harker and Morden continually team up in these questions.

Question from rebecca_selene:

8 and 12 are forced to sing karaoke together. What song would they sing, and how would it turn out?

Victoria Winters and Methos are singing together. I honestly can’t think of the song choice, but I can predict that Methos wouldn’t want to be the one getting attention. He sneaks away, leaving Victoria to do it all alone.

Questions from shaddyr:

5, 6 and 8 meet up unexpectedly in a place of "ill repute". What happens once they spot each other?

Peter Vincent, Elizabeth, and Victoria Winters. Well, they’re each horrified and embarrassed, and babbling the reasons for their presence there at all. Elizabeth and Victoria were likely trying to learn a secret from their respective canons.

Aliens bent on the total annihilation of the human race have landed on earth, and the eradication has begun. It falls to 2, 7 and 12 to come up with a plan. They can choose two of the other 15; who do they choose and why?

Londo, Mr. Morden, and Methos have to come up with a plan to save the human race. Given Mr. Morden is involved, I don’t think humanity is going to be too well off by the end of this. And Londo may or may not care, as the wind blows. The other two they select would probably be Willow and the Tenth Doctor. The Tenth Doctor has experience with aliens of that caliber, and Willow can use magic to aid him.

Questions from pat_t:

Under what circumstance would 2 and 10 fall in love?

Londo and Willow? Only a spell gone wrong could cause that one.

If 6 and 8 were held hostage by 9 how would they get away?

Elizabeth and Victoria held hostage by The Tenth Doctor? Well, it goes from hostage negotiations to companions after discovering he's lonely. Otherwise, neither understands what's happening.

Who would 3 want to be shipwrecked with - 7 or 11 and why?

Jonathan could be with Mr. Morden or Angelique. One way, Morden's associates could rescue them, but he might get implanted into a Shadow vessel, losing his will yet again. The other, Angelique puts a curse on him and all those he loves, and/or gets them off the deserted island by way of Hell and signing away his soul. He’s going with Angelique.

Questions from slipjig3:

1, 3, 7, and 11 are all contestants on the Great British Bake-Off. It's Cake Week, and the Showstopper Challenge is to bake a cake suitable for your own birthday party. What does everyone bake? Who is named Star Baker? Who is eliminated?

Amanda, Jonathan and Angelique are contestants. Given my total dislike of cake in general, I wouldn’t want any of them. However, I will say that Angelique is given the status of Star Baker. Amanda is disqualified/eliminated for stealing ingredients from the others. I don’t know what the others baked, but if Jonathan is still stuck in servant mode then bugs are involved in the icing of his.

14 and 15 are going to a party in complementary costumes. Who/what are they dressed as?

Vanessa and Edith. They’re probably dressed as Victorian spirits.

Who of the fifteen is the best dancer? The worst?

Given how he agilely leapt over tombstones in Dracula (1968), I can see Jonathan being a reasonably good dancer when he puts his mind to it. Well, either him or Angelique. Londo is the worst.

Question from lynndyre:

9 and 13 go looking for 1 in a crypt! Why, and what's down there?

The Tenth Doctor and Dana are looking for Amanda in a crypt. I suppose they were looking for vampires to stake, got lost, and know that the same thing happened to Amanda after following the wrong map. It’s that, or buried treasure. Dana wonders how she was roped into this.

Questions from gehayi:

4, 9, 11, and 13 are lost in an alien dimension. Who leads the group, what resources do they have at their disposal, and which one makes a vital sacrifice for the benefit of the group? (And what IS that sacrifice? It doesn't have to be their life--just something that means a lot.)

Lucy Weston, The Tenth Doctor, Angelique, and Dana. Ten leads them. Dana sacrifices herself, because I can't see Lucy or Angelique doing so. Sonic screwdriver, Lucy's fangs, and Angelique's powers are what the resources are.

6, 8, 10, and 12 have superpowers. What are their powers, which one(s) become heroes, which one(s) become villains, and who wins in a fight?

Elizabeth, Victoria, Willow, and Methos. I can’t think of their powers, aside from Willow’s regular magic. Perhaps Methos can turn invisible at will, to blend in easier. Methos might go supervillain. Victoria and Elizabeth would team up, and I’m not sure if Willow goes Dark Willow or not. Victoria and Elizabeth win.

1 and 3 are both in love with 15. How does 15 feel about each one, and how do the three of them resolve the situation?

Amanda and Jonathan are both in love with Edith Cushing. Amanda is not really her type, and leaves the playing field. Jonathan is closer to Edith’s timeline. If he's no longer with Mina, they get together and bond over scary castles, ghosts, and vampires. They console each other over the strangeness in their lives.

Antagonist 14 has sent 2, 3, 7, 8, and 12 back in time--each to a different period that would be the most difficult for that person to deal with. Which time periods do they end up in and why? And do they end up freeing themselves from their temporal prison?

Vanessa sent Londo, Jonathan, Mr. Morden, Victoria, and Methos back in time. Bronze Age for Methos, just to make him uncomfortable. Revolutionary Era for Victoria, same reason. The end of the Shadow War for Mr. Morden, the castle for Jonathan, and I really don’t know where to send Londo. I suspect Morden wouldn’t free himself.

Victoria gets back after reliving her hanging, since that’s how she got out of the past the last go around. Jonathan anxiously survives more drama in the castle before climbing out the window like his novel counterpart.

Question from littlestclouds:

Character 15 and character nine are locked in a room together. Are they at each other's throats? Working together to get out of the room?

Edith and the Tenth Doctor? They work together to get out, and he offers her the prospect of going traveling in the TARDIS for a short while. She had enough adventure in Crimson Peak, and turns him down.

Questions from thisbluespirit:

2, 14, and 7 go on a road trip - where to, who drives, who gets left behind, and why are they trying to find 10, anyway?

Londo, Vanessa and Mr. Morden on a road trip. Trying to find Willow. They need a spell done wherever they went post-Sunnydale. Mr. Morden drives, Londo continually gets left behind. Either Mr. Morden is driving, or he's continually turned in his seat and talking to someone, while something invisible controls the steering wheel. Hope the Shadows are good drivers...

9 has been murdered! 8 is the detective, 3 their faithful sidekick, and 1 the red herring, but why did 11 do it, and can 8 solve the mystery?

Ten died (he'll get better). Victoria is the detective, and Jonathan Harker is her sidekick. Amanda is the red herring. Angelique did it because Ten was in the way. Victoria can't solve it at first, but between her and Jonathan they work out the truth. Fearing Angelique would put a curse on either her or Jonathan, Angelique is left to go free.

3 and 5 are in a fake relationship. How does it go?

Jonathan and Peter Vincent. Probably rather uncomfortably, as neither knows what to say to the other in this situation.

Questions from seandc:

Fifteen and Six have very close birthdays - shared party?

Edith and Elizabeth? They would certainly choose to share the birthday party.

Nine, Three, and a need to redecorate - similar tastes or complete clash?

The Tenth Doctor and Jonathan Harker? I feel like unless he was in his Eighth incarnation, the tastes of Jonathan and the Doctor wouldn’t mesh very well.

Questions from frenchroast:

What if 7 were a cannibal--how would they go about catching and eating 9?

Mr. Morden is a cannibal, seeking the Tenth Doctor. Well, he holds a companion hostage until the Doctor finally arrives. He’s after him due to him being a food source that would replenish until the lives run out.

14 brings back the Sanderson Sisters on All Hallow's Eve. How do 10 and 1 help 14 defeat the witches so 3's soul can finally be free?

Vanessa brings them back? I can see that happening. Willow and Amanda help her. Poor Jonathan’s soul was stuck in a cat, apparently. Amanda steals back the book, and Willow uses magic to undo the curse.

4 is now Dracula--how does the story change?

4 is Lucy Weston, so the story doesn’t really change all that much. She’s still a vampire, and still wandering around Whitby. The only difference is that Seward is the first to be bitten and enthralled, while Mina is teaming up with Van Helsing to find out what happened to Jonathan. What was his fate? Well, he’s either still stuck in a cell, if this is Dracula (1968), or wandering the countryside as a vampire.

Ha, there are, as ever, some amusing combinations here!

Londo and Willow? Only a spell gone wrong could cause that one.

*nods* Also I see Ten is kidnapping companions again.

Ten died (he'll get better).

LOL. He's really Eleven for the rest of the meme?

[rebecca_selene]

Jonathan is closer to Edith’s timeline. If he's no longer with Mina, they get together and bond over scary castles, ghosts, and vampires. They console each other over the strangeness in their lives.

This is my favorite part and something I'd actually kinda want to see, lol.
