So, the instructions were:
1. I write down a list of 10 characters.
2. You choose however many of those you like and ask me a question about them. Examples: "What happens when 5 and 9 are forced to take care of a baby?" or "1, 4, and 8 walk into a bar. What happens next?" or "What does 3 do when s/he finds out that 10 is pregnant with 7's child?" You get the idea. :D
3. I tell you about these scenarios!
Sorry it's late. Cat issues took over, then a whole bunch of other stuff.
Here's my ten:
1. Teyla Emmagan
2. Kate Freelander
3. Eliot Spencer
4. Luna Lovegood
5. John Sheppard
6. Abby Sciuto
7. Parker
8. Teal'c
9. Guinevere
10. Ziva David
And here are six scenarios walking into a bar:
2 (Kate Freelander), 6 (Abby Sciuto), and 9 (Guinevere) decide to rob a bank together. What is each of their roles?
Kate is the muscle and the savvy: she disables the guards and holds the general public at bay; Abby is the tech: she takes down the bank security cameras and disables the alarm; Gwen is the leader and mastermind: she keeps Abby on track, keeps Kate in check, calms the panicked people, and empties the tills with brisk efficiency before the three of them lock down the bank and make their way out through the air ducts after the FBI have turned the air conditioning off.
(And Parker is driving the getaway car. Because you just know she is.)
10 (Ziva David) and 5 (John Sheppard) decide to get married. They invite all the other numbers to their wedding. What happens?
I can actually see this wedding taking place. Scarily enough.
Parker tries to pick purses, except Abby catches her with her hands in Abby's bag and zaps her with a tazer. Eliot goes in to defend Parker, but is dragged off-course by Luna who wants him to dance the shunga-winga with her, and when he tries to decline, Teal'c and Teyla gets in his way and Eliot knows he's not going to beat both of them, so he dances the shunga-winga with Luna - with Teal'c and Teyla keeping very careful eyes on him. Kate and Gwen, meanwhile, have explained to Parker why stealing from fellow guests is a bad idea. Gwen tries to explain why stealing is a bad idea entirely, but Kate tells her not to bother.
The night ends with Eliot and Teyla hooking up, Teal'c and Luna getting into an in-depth discussion as to whether the Goa'uld resemble what Luna calls 'fan-worms', Parker and Kate planning a job together, and Gwen and Abby discussing everything from white knights and honour codes, to corsetry, feminism, and Mr. Mass Spectrometer.
And John spends the night cuffed to the bed while Ziva takes it slow.
2 (Kate), 6 (Abby), and 10 (Ziva) are trapped together on a deserted island/planet. What do they do to pass the time?
"So, wait a minute? I'm stuck on a desert island with Emily Strange and a Mossad officer.."
"Ex-Mossad."
"I'm sorry?"
"I am no longer with Mossad, but NCIS. You should be grateful. I will not have to kill you. At least, not straight away."
"You know, I never stole anything out of Israel."
"And you would not admit it if you had?"
"Do I look stupid?"
"All right, so... Nobody is killing anyone! We're going to take a look around and make sure we haven't missed some kind of ...homing beacon, then, if we haven't-- Hey, does anyone have their phone on them?"
"No phones, no GPS, not even an iPod. Not exactly my idea of paradise."
"I do not think it is anyone's idea of paradise."
"Tony would say it needs more girls in bikinis."
"You know, I could do girls in bikinis."
"You could? I mean, I know that Ziva would. And Tony definitely would."
"I can switch-hit if it comes to it. Although that's one way to mess up a baseball metaphor. But mostly I was thinking it would give us something to look at at least."
"So, seeing as we've got no technology and no means of escape, we're gonna sit right here and wait for Gibbs to rescue us. Although we should probably write SOS in the sand or something so people can see it from a long way off. Does anyone see any rocks?"
"Abby, you do realise--"
"No! Gibbs is GOING TO RESCUE US, because that's what Gibbs does!"
"Is she always like this?"
"Most of the time. It is why we keep her in the basement."
"Ziva! You've been spending too much time with Tony."
3 (Eliot) and 5 (John) try to take over the world. 7 (Parker) and 9 (Guinevere) try to stop them. What happens and who wins?
Well, for starters, Parker and Gwen would win, hands down. Mostly because neither Eliot nor John particularly want to take over the world, but also because Gwen would recruit Nate and Teyla to haul them back while Parker stalled the would-be megalomaniacs by pretending to be in on it, and then dragging Hardison and Rodney into the whole thing to be their tech gurus. Who'd then promptly drive Eliot and John up the wall because they'd either argue with each other all the time or get along like a house on fire (people screaming and running around everywhere), until Sophie and Ronon arrived to calm things down - or, in Ronon's case, finger his weapon suggestively (thereby causing Hardison to note that he doesn't swing that way, but even he's getting the homoerotic overtones in this conversation).
By the time Nate and Teyla turned up, Eliot and John would be all, "Oh, God, someone get us out of here and find us a nice quiet bar to have a drink in."
And Parker and Gwen would link arms and smirk becomingly all the way to the watering hole.
Before Parker picked every pocket in the bar.
1 (Teyla) and 8 (Teal'c) wake up together. What is their reaction?
There are a lot of different ways this scenario could go. Are they waking up in bed? In a prison cell? Are they clothed or unclothed? Are handcuffs involved? (I'm not sure I can see Teal'c doing handcuffed sex. Too much power dynamic in bed for a guy whose day-to-day life involved walking the wire of abusive power dynamics.)
If they woke up in a prison cell together, off-world, then they break out and get back to Earth through the cunning use of diplomacy and magnets. And a strong right hook on Teal'c's part, combined with a grumpy, tired, and extremely put-out Teyla.
If they woke up in a prison cell together, in the SGC/Atlantis...then they'd break out, take back the city from the aliens who'd taken it over and brainwashed their friends and team-mates, and let loose all unholy hell, with nothing more than smug smiles at the end of the episode. (Now this would have been an Episode Of Unspeakable Awesome if Stargate PTB had possessed the cojones. Teal'c! Teyla! Against the SGC and Atlantis! OMG!)
If they woke up in bed together, naked, after a night of crazed monkey sex...they'd go for round seven through eleven. Natch.
9 (Guinevere) is pretending to be 8 (Teal'c) in order to get close to 5 (John). How well does the masquerade work? Why did 9 (Guinever) choose 8 (Teal'c)of all people? How/when does 5 (John) discover the truth? What does 5 (John) do with that knowledge?
Uh. This one really doesn't work. Mostly because John already knows Teal'c, so it falls apart at the first hurdle.

These are only the first six or so questions that I could answer. There are about a dozen more, which I'll be posting over time and as the ideas come to me.
