Questions from fullupwithfire:

How and why would three try to kill twelve? Would they succeed?

Angelique would try to kill G’Kar. The only reason I can see for that is if he somehow meddled with the Collins family, if their descendants ended up in Babylon 5’s corridors somewhere along the way. I would go with no, her curses wouldn’t destroy him. Londo would somehow foil them, just to be evil.

How did one, six, and fifteen cause the end of the world?

Jonathan Harker, Professor Abronsius, and Edith Cushing. Vampires. It's vampires. Abronsius knew of Van Helsing and accidentally caused a vampire apocalypse in canon (presumably, once Alfred and Sarah ran off at the end). Vampires everywhere because of him and Jonathan. Edith was caught in the crossfire insisting ghosts were real, but not them, and then it was too late to stop them...

Jonathan probably ended up turned, with his luck. Although, if we’re going with the middle of the ‘68 film, he’d enjoy that fate.

Five and thirteen are set up on a blind date. How does it go? (Bonus: Which of the other characters is most likely to have set them up?)

Der Tod and Methos were set up on a blind date. It won't go well! I would say that Jonathan didn't know what he was doing when he set them up. Or Angelique was behind it, hoping to please her Master (Satan) by killing Methos forever with a kiss from the real Death.

Seven and ten have to be roommates for a year for reasons. Do they make it? How does it go?

Petyr and Willow are roommates. Well, once the issue with rooming with a vampire calmed down, I’m not sure how well it would go. Petyr keeps to himself and sleeps in his coffin...never speaks. Hisses. It might be okay unless Willow learned something awful about him, and calls in Buffy (depends on the season, really: Willow could magic him to death, open a window manually, or bring her in if it were necessary). He might survive, so long as nobody opens his coffin and the closet he’s hiding in during the daylight hours.

Questions from thisbluespirit:

2 holds a seance and accidentally gets possessed by the spirit of 4, who's out for revenge on 9 for their death.

Lucy Weston holds a séance, and gets possessed by the spirit of Alfred, who is seeking revenge on Vanessa Ives. He’s very confused if he blames her for his death and vampire resurrection and not someone like a vampire. And is it just a very confused regular Alfred possessing Lucy, or the vampire aspect that was roaming the world? If the former, I don’t think he could hurt anyone and might see reason rather easily.

(If Abronsius is among the people attending the séance, he might get a bit of a stern talking to from the Alfred possessed Lucy.)

8, 14 and 11 go on a road trip! Who drives, who gets left behind somewhere along the way, and do they get there in one piece?

Londo Mollari, Martha Jones, and Peter Vincent. Martha drives, Londo is left behind at some point with his luck. Yeah, they'd make it there in one piece. Two are civil, and without the Keeper, Londo shouldn't drink quite as heavily. No vampires, so Peter's good. Only alien is Londo, and Martha might be okay with him.

6 buys 15 a birthday present. What do they get?

Professor Abronsius buys something for Edith Cushing. For the woman that sees ghosts, and married a guy whose sister tried to murder her, I don't know. He's so oddly oblivious when he's not being fixated on vampires that there is a possibility it would be something bizarrely wrong for her.

Questions from omorka:

4 and 8 open a small business together. What kind of business is it, and will they be at all successful?

Tanz Der Vampire’s Alfred and Londo open a small business together. I can see that Londo would take charge, and it might fail spectacularly, but I don't know what it would be. Human Alfred's no good at anything really aggressive in business. He can't hurt a creature on this planet if he's human. Vampire Alfred's out for blood. Perhaps a toy store. Londo would feel humiliation and regret at having fallen so far from his lofty goals of becoming Emperor. Alfred would be fine with the job, and might start recommending things to everyone that comes in.

9, 11, and 13 are all in a hospital emergency room. What happened, and what role does each of them play there?

Vanessa Ives, Peter Vincent, and Methos. I don’t know what happened, but there’s blood and it involved Methos’ sword. Perhaps Peter decided he needed the skill ofswordsmanship if he continued being a vampire hunter, willingly or not. Methos wouldn’t teach him, Vanessa was probably still possessed, and it all went horribly wrong; Methos had to knock her out after a stabbing that wasn’t fatal. Methos snuck everyone out the back before the police came to try to press charges, once everything was stitched up.

Questions from gloss:

12 performs at an open mic night. What do they perform and are 3, 8, and 5 in the audience?

G'Kar is performing at an open mic night. Angelique, Londo and Der Tod from Elisabeth. Are they in the audience? Yes, Londo is! He wouldn't miss this for the world. I can’t see Angelique participating in such a thing.

Der Tod could be there, if he was waiting for someone else in the audience to die. Now whether G’Kar or Londo can see him lurking silently or not is up for debate.

Would 10 loan their favorite book to 4 and why? (And what is the title?)

Willow is loaning a book to Alfred. Depends on if this is Human Alfred or Vicious Vampire Alfred, too. Or, given it’s a Buffyverse thing, did he get resouled? If he’s calmed down through whatever means, they were both really bookworms underneath everything, so sure. It's probably something on identifying supernatural creatures that Willow located after everything. Alfred was curious and wanted to learn what else there is that he ought to be fearing in the night.

Which of the 15 is the most inept at housekeeping?

Professor Abronsius and Jonathan Harker might be the two most inept souls when it comes to that. Methos is inept on purpose, throwing his beer bottle caps behind the fridge for others to deal with. Theirs is accidental.

LOL! And, no, Londo would not miss that! These were as fun as ever. :-D

[seandc]

I’m just left wondering from that question - what does G’Kar actually sing up there?

I’m leaning towards something with lyrics about hair, just to dare Londo to start heckling, or at least shoot “puzzled” looks around the room

Okay, Londo running a toy store is the funniest thing I've seen since Sunday.
