Beyond the Roundels

And the second and final installment...


From sallymn: 6 [the Seventh Doctor], 12 [Cassandra Cillian] and 7 [the Brigadier] have to save the world. How doomed are we?

I should think we are all saved and then some.


What werecreature would 9 [Snow] be? or 15 [Servalan]?

Hmm. I'm not sure. It sounds a bit odd, but maybe a bear? Servalan would definitely be something highly venomous. A black widow? Or are there any white venomous creatures? If there are, that's what she is.


2 [G'kar] has to (for some handwavium reason) kill 8 [the Cat]. How would they go about it?

Um, well, I'm sure there could be any number of ways. That's not a fair contest. Poor Cat! He's too cool and decorative to die! I'm not entirely sure G'kar would be happy about it either. Hopefully Cat runs fast enough back to the Dwarf to prevent it.


From sovay:
7 [the Brigadier] and 13 [Orac] get set up on a blind date: what kind of restaurant is it and how does the evening go?

The restaurant is irrelevant. Where do you take an untrustworthy plastic box of flashing lights out for dinner? Presumably Orac set this up via the internet for reasons of his own (or whoever told him to do it). Meanwhile, the Brigadier was only on that dating agency's list as an undercover thing (under protest too, but you know what UNIT is like). Hopefully the Brigadier does not get dragged into Orac's scheme, and Orac had better watch out that he and the restaurant don't wind up a smoking hole in the ground.


2 [G'kar], 4 [Missy], and 10 [Bill] are in a roommate situation. Does it look stable or should we be concerned about the odds of everyone surviving, including possibly the building?

Bill had enough of those two on that scavenger hunt! Now she has to go back and live with them! She's trying to find better digs and thinking she didn't know when she was well off with the building that only tried to eat her and her housemates. At least the housemates were fine! Not like having to put up with G'kar (who's great and all that, but not to live with) and Missy, (because, you know, untrustworthy and mad as a basket of snakes and also they have a bad history). Plus, the worst thing is, they'd both try to flirt with her. Still, at least G'kar is useful for making sure Missy doesn't kill Bill, but probably Bill is soon going to be two for two on living in rented accommodation that gets destroyed, one way or another.


What is the last thing 8 [the Cat] wants either 1 [Silver] or 14 [Dayna] to find out about them? Is it for the same reason?

His uncool alter ego? The fact that he once wore plaid? Neither Silver or Dayna understand or care. Well, unless it's part of the weird Time-related issue that's brought them together, of course, in which case, Silver is very interested and Cat should be worried.


Can 5 [Adam Adamant] make pizza? (Would 15 [Servalan] eat it?)

I'm sure Adam would not be defeated by mere bread products with toppings, but he would refuse to serve a charming lady like Supreme Commander Servalan pizza. He would instead take her out to a classy restaurant. Servalan would eat the food, but Adam should be very careful if he does. Still, at least eating in public raises his chances of surviving the evening.

Plus, Simms would be miffed at Adam cooking, unless it was in his absence. Simms would have made pizza for him if Adam wanted it! (And Georgie would totally have eaten it if he didn't.)


From dimity_blue:

7 [The Brigadier] has become a Bond villain with 15 [Servalan] as his/her sidekick and 2 [G'kar] as a Bond girl. Will Bond save the day?

I expect Bond will save the day, but he's going to have a (probably) weirder than usual time doing it. I'm not sure what the Brigadier's qualifications for Bond-style villainy are, except possibly the moustache. There must be some misunderstanding here due to Servalan, who is clearly the true evil. Meanwhile, G'kar is having much too much fun being a Bond girl and Bond wants out, thank you.


4 [Missy], 8 [the Cat], and 3 [Beatrice Eliott] are involved in an Agatha Christie style whodunnit. 15 [Servalan] is investigating. Which of them did it and will the truth come out?

With Servalan investigating, the truth will only come out if it proves convenient to her. Everyone thinks Missy did it, but she's been trying to reform. The Cat did it by accident and doesn't like to confess because he can't face the thought of prison uniform. It never makes anyone look good! Bea is wishing she'd never come to this houseparty to promote the House of Eliott, even though Servalan had seemed like such a great prospective client. It's never simple, is it?


6 [Seven], 9 [Snow White], and 10 [Bill] are at a convention. What's it for, who has the best time, and who hates every minute?

It's got to be an SF Con somewhere. I should think they'd all potentially have a great time, but maybe it's badly run and Snow would like to organise it better herself? Or Seven is only there to stop some aliens and it's so much harder to find them with everybody cosplaying?


From daibhidc: 8 [The Cat] has decided they want take over the world. Why, and can 12 [Cassandra] stop them?

Presumably the Cat wants a world with more fish and cool fashion and uncool people hidden out of sight and so on. Luckily, I should think Cassandra could take him with one hand tied behind her back, although she'd probably appreciate his outfits.


From liadt: What were 1 [Silver]'s nominations for Yuletide?

Presumably, something had to be fed into the tag set either to save it or destroy it, because reasons. Therefore Silver nominated whatever was the right thing to nominate. I just hope he didn't want to destroy Yuletide or AO3... (I mean, it's not as if Elements are going to be very keen on either of those things - all those different fandoms of all types from all eras, thrown in together! Human emotions + ship wars + wank! We are all living dangerously! HOW COULD WE?)


5 [Adam Adamant] organises a party for 6 [Seven]. What sort of party would it be and what would happen if 8 [the Cat] turned up unexpectedly?

It would be a very tasteful party! Or at least, it was going to be a very tasteful party before Georgie took one look at the program and menu and livened it up a bit with better food and groovier music, much to Adam's dismay. Seven and Adam escape the party for somewhere more peaceful, while Georgie is highly entertained when Cat makes a suitably diva-ish entry.


From paranoidangel: 1 [Silver], 5 [Adam Adamant], 11 [Henry VII] and 15 [Servalan] all go on a picnic. What do each of them bring?

Trouble, I should think. Silver brings his tools, Adam brings a picnic hamper packed by Simms, Henry VII no doubt has someone to make something similar for him, and Servalan brings herself and an expectation that she will be fed. What happens after that, goodness only knows, but it won't be dull.


2 [G'kar], 3 [Bea] and 4 [Missy] are all on a bank robbery/heist of some kind. Who is the getaway driver and who gets caught?

I feel somehow that G'kar would both be getaway driver and get caught, since he is a bit difficult to ignore. I'm not sure what Bea is doing there, but no doubt Missy is threatening her with something, maybe harming Evie or Jack. Well, unless the bank is owned by Ralph Saroyan, in which case maybe she's behind the plan in order to get the books and prove his villainy. She shouldn't have asked Missy, though. It can't end well.


7 [The Brigadier] sends a message to 12 [Cassandra], but accidentally sends it to 9 [Snow White] instead. What's the message and how does 9 [Snow] react?

Presumably UNIT wants Cassandra's help for something. Snow is puzzled on getting the message, but being Snow, she will do her very best to make sure it gets to where it's supposed to be. Of course, this being Storybrooke, it may not be that simple. The Brigadier might just have to send it again and hope this one doesn't vanish into a place that doesn't technically exist.


From john_amend_all: 4 [Missy] and 13 [Orac] learn that because of some quaint legal quirk, they're now officially married. How do they react?

I should think Missy would be highly amused; Orac couldn't care less, especially if Missy gives him free rein to do what he wants, which she might. It's an unholy alliance and the universe may well be done for.


9 [Snow White] is found dead in a locked room. 7 [The Brigadier] investigates. Who dunnit, and how?

I should think both Missy and Servalan would find Snow intensely annoying, so it's almost certain to be one or both of them. In this case, I suspect Servalan, especially if Missy's trying not to kill people today. The Brigadier may not be Sherlock Holmes, but he's dogged and determined and probably highly suspicious of Missy already, due to her being the latest incarnation of the Master. However, when Missy points out all the flaws in his case after he arrests her, he follows them up and arrests Servalan instead, despite her attempts to frame Dayna.


From elen_nare: 1 [Silver] and 15 [Servalan] have to share the last room at a hotel. What happens?

Well, Servalan gets the bed, because Silver doesn't need it. Servalan will be highly interested in an Element and his weird abilities and be hoping to find a way to use him. Meanwhile, Silver fixes whatever anomaly it is he's at the hotel to fix and then vanishes, much to her annoyance.

Of course, if she's ever run into Deva at any point, things could get pretty amusing/confusing in the meantime...


2 [G'kar] finds 7 [the Brigadier]'s diary. Do they read it, and if so, what do they read about themselves? (Or if they return it unread, what would they have read?)

It's hard to imagine the Brigadier keeping a diary that isn't a bald to do list of meetings and so on. I expect G'kar would read it, but I doubt it would provide him with much entertainment. His notes about G'kar would probably read: "Narn Ambassador from future - 10.30. N.B. Ask Doctor about Paradox (if he hasn't skipped out on another jaunt across the universe). 12.00 Call to Geneva."


5 [Adam], 9 [Snow], 3 [Bea], and 14 [Dayna], are starting a school magazine/newspaper. Does it succeed?

Well, it's not the worst team, but I'm not sure any of them would really have their hearts in it. Snow is editor and agony aunt, while Bea does the fashion page and the opinion column, while Adam reluctantly supplies a nostalgia feature and Dayna provides recipes. For explosives. As a result, they all wind up outside the principal's office and the publication is banned, much to their general relief.
