1: Komehara
2: Shane
3: John
4: Will
5: Maddie
6: Psyche
7: Mason
8: Keith
9: Tristan
10: Mercutio ('bout time I get to add him in something. 8D)


1. Divide the list up by even and odd. Which group of five would make a better Five Man Band (like a Power Rangers team)? Who would you slot in each position: Leader, Second in Command, Big Guy, Smart Guy, The Chick?

Team 1: Kome, John, Maddie, Mason, Tristan
Team 2: Shane, Will, Psyche, Keith, Mercutio

Damn... Both have their weaknesses and strengths... XD Team 1 I suppose. Mercutio's too crazy to work in a team. Unless the team consists of himself and Mikey... and no one else.

Leader: Komehara
Second in Command: Maddie
Big Guy: Tristan
Smart Guy: John
The Chick: Mason

Yeah, even though there's a female IN the group... Mason still earns the title of the chick. XD

2. Gender-swap 2, 8 & 10. Which character would have the most change in their story arc? Which the least? Would any of these characters have to have a complete personality change to be believable as the opposite sex?

Oh damn... Shane, Keith, and Mercutio. Well. I think Shane would be easily changeable. He's boyish, but not masculine. Keith and Mercutio on the other hand... well... yeah. Both would have to have a complete personality change in order to be the opposite sex. Keith is extremely masculine. And Mercutio... he's a sociopath serial killer who only views women as tools for amusement. So... yeeeeah. Mercutio as a woman is seriously a really, really scary thought, honestly.

3. Compare the matchups of 1 & 8 and 5 & 9. (Ignore canon sexual preferences for the moment.) Which couple would be more compatible? Which couple would be more plausible to people from either principal's home culture?

Well... That's interesting. Um. I could see both of those happening actually. Under certain circumstances.

Ignoring the fact that Tristan is kind of... DEAD, I think him and Maddie would have gotten on great. They've both got the same kind of personality although I think Tristan's a bit more of a risk taker than Maddie is. But all in all, I think it'd play out well.

As for Komehara and Keith. Just... wow. That'd be one kinky ass relationship. Talk about love and hate.

4. Your team is 3, 4 & 9. The mission consists of a social challenge, a mental challenge and a physical challenge. Which team member do you assign to each challenge?

John, Will, and Tristan... Huh. Will would kind of suck at all of those. But John could do either a mental or physical challenge. I guess the best combination would be to set Tristan up with the social challenge since when he was living he was always pretty social. Then set Will on the mental challenge since I think that's the one he'd suck at the LEAST. And then I'd set John on the physical challenge because he's like a 6 foot tall rock.

5. 7 becomes 1's boss for a week in some plausible fashion. How's their working relationship?

Mason being KOME'S boss? Omg... Yeah, that's not happening... Mason would break under all the pressure. He doesn't give orders, nor does he really like telling people what to do. He's too quiet and his self esteem is waaaaay too low to do anything like that. Especially towards Kome whom he sees as a strong-willed leader type of person.

6. 2 finds him/her/itself inserted into 6's continuity. As far as anyone other than 2 or 6 is concerned, they've always been there. What role would 2 be presumed to have had in 6's story, and could they fit in without going wonky?

Kome finds himself in Psyche's continuity... Aww, that sucks because they already know each other... Not too well, but they do and Kome's got a strong big-brother type of attitude towards her. Mercutio was actually one of Komehara's friends until he found out what he did to Psyche. That... yeah, that's where Kome drew the line and was basically like, "dude... you're messed up." and never talked to him again. So now he kinda keeps an eye on Psyche to make sure she's doing okay and everything.

7. 3 and 5 get three wishes. The catch is that they have to agree on all three wishes before they get the benefits of any of them. What three wishes would they make?

John and Maddie... Well, they might as well be married so I'm sure they'd be able to agree on everything just fine. John would probably let Maddie have one wish and Maddie would let John have the other and then they'd both come up with the last one. Maddie would probably wish for her dad to stay home for longer than a couple weeks at a time. John... I don't really know what he would wish for. Maybe for his manager to let Maddie on tour on and off. The wish they'd both come up with would probably be that should they ever have children, that they're healthy and normal.

8. 1 and 2 are brainwashed by a one-time artifact that works even on people immune to mind control to attack and kill 4. They keep their normal personality, skills and competence level, except any Code vs. Killing has been turned off. Can 4 survive? How?

Kome and Shane are brainwashed to kill Will. Dude... Shane wouldn't even need to be brought into the equation... Kome'd have Will down in seconds. He wouldn't stand a chance. Poor guy. D;

9. 6, 7, 9 & 10 must help an orphanage full of small and depressed children have a merry Christmas. Who does what, knowing that at the very least the kids will be expecting a visit from Santa?

Psyche, Mason, Tristan, and Mercutio. Jesus Christ... I... really, I'm not even going to answer this one if that's who's brought into it. >____> Mercutio + kids = things unspeakable. AND Psyche's even involved so. Yeah. No. Tristan and Mason would be in it alone. But I'm sure Tristan would totally dress as Santa. And Mason would be all for making sure they had gifts. Psyche would be too, but that's only if I take Mercutio out of the equation all together. He just... yeah.

10. 3 and 8 are challenged to circumnavigate the Earth in eighty days or less, using only forms of transportation invented before 1900. Can they do it, or will they be fatally distracted by sidequests or their own personality conflicts?

John and Keith. Their own personalities would kill the trip within a week or so... They'd probably reach Germany or something and John would get out and tell Keith to kiss his Northern Irish ass. Then proceed to live there while Keith would be left with his own bouts of anger which were probably the cause of John's leaving in the first place.
