Hey! Should be studying for midterms, not, perfect time to post something that I finished just before NaNo started! (can it be? Only 10 days ago?)
This was a meme I found (and will be reposting) on deviantart. I'm going to break some of this up and add my comments for posting here though! :)
RULES:
- Pick 10 of your OC in any order. If you don’t have 10 characters use canon.
- Don't look at the questions while picking the characters!
- Link back to the blank.
- Have fun!
PICK YOUR VICTIMS!
*I put in ages and occupations for reference.
**For the sake of following the meme and having fun, some of this is slightly out of character. But that was to be expected, after all. And they’re not all from the same time. I have stories thought out for some of them and this might be before or after their tales. >.<
1. Alina Zephyr (16; soldier, dollmaker)
2. Fiana Lunaltusiem (16; student, healer)
3. Jane Exina (14; reader, teamaker)
4. Sonora Li (19; student, tarot-summoner)
5. Auris Eternia (9; student)
6. Evan Blackthorn (19; student, prince, mercenary)
7. Ever Blaize (8; servant)
8. Emile Errolheart (10; student)
9. Tkalis Kaza (11; mage-priest-medic)
10. Elysia Intana Kieran (20; swordsman, temple sister)
The ten victims!
1. Alina: Even though I haven't actually written her story out, I think she's one of my favorite OCs. Naturally, that means I like picking on her. :)
2. Fiana: A roleplay character for the roleplay I found this on. Obvious choice. I've also been drawing her a lot recently.
3. Jane: Another recent roleplay character! (I have a blurb on Fiana and Jane I'll post soon too)
4-8. Sonora, Auris, Evan, Ever, Emile: All are characters in my NaNoNovel, so I figured I would get a chance writing them before I got into NaNo. Um... not all of them actually behave this way in the novel...because some of it is after the story...It's confusing XD
9. Kaza: From Sun Dagger! :) This is actually minorly plotspoilery because it indicates some of the stuff he does later. Not really that much though :P
10. Elysia: The ECA representative. I was debating whether to throw her or Celestine or Arlin into the pot and almost randomly decided on her. So...yea!\
I just noticed, I probably should have included Eileen/ Enlaika in this...but I didn't...oh well. :x
-------------
1. How will [1] describe [6]?
1=Alina Zephyr. 6= Evan Blackthorn
Alina: Prince Blackthorn? Huh. He is a good fighter, I suppose, and kind enough to spar with me, though I am an Object. I know others better acquainted with him that have described him as “decent”. Thus far I have seen no evidence that he is not. He does not aim to take the Avis Fior co-rulership, but I think that if he were to, he would not be a bad king.
2. [5] and [4] were locked in a closet together. What does [10] see when he/she found them?
5= Auris Eternia, 4= Sonora Li, 10= Elysia Intana Kieran
Sonora is sitting against one wall, Auris against another. They’re talking alternatively about astronomy and possession when Elysia opens the door, looking for a piece of armor she misplaced…
Auris: THANK GOODNESS. I mean, thank you for unlocking the door.
Elysia: *raises and eyebrow* Did the two of you finally decide to have your talk? And you couldn’t find a quiet room except for the closet?
Sonora: It was an accident, *awkward chuckle*. Um…it was nice talking to you, Auris.
Auris: Likewise, Miss Li. Um…I look forward to working more with you…later?
Sonora: Of course. (Later to Elysia): Thank you for coming to our rescue. That was seriously the most awkward conversation I’ve ever been in. It was like…
Elysia: Talking to a character from a book you wrote?
Sonora: Exactly. It was stranger than I’d thought it would be.
Note for #2: Minorly references something that happens in Campus Curse.
3. For whatever reason, [7] decides to kiss [2]. How does [2] react?
7= Ever Blaize, 2= Fiana Lunaltusiem
Ever: *kiss on cheek*
Fiana: Ah-h? What…
Ever: Thank you for always taking care of me. It must be such a hassle…. I know you don’t have a lot to spare for someone small like me who can’t do anything, but you and Aldis always take care of me…. I don’t have a lot of friends, so you’re…like the older sister I never had.
Fiana: Aww… Don’t worry. You do your best. And it’s horrible to be lonely in life. We can be each others’ sisters. *Hug*.
4. [2] randomly walks in and sees [9] is at least half naked.
2= Fiana Lunaltusiem, 9= Tkalis Kaza
Fiana: *humming as she walks into the pool room.* A nice relaxing swim would be the perfect way to start the day. Oh hello Kaz—eek! Sorry! *Quickly covers her eyes and turns around, burrowing her face in her towel.*
Kaza: ahh…sorry about that. *quickly finishes drying up and puts on a breechcloth and robe*
Fiana: I-I did I walk in the wrong room? I-I’m sorry!
Kaza: Oh, no. I was just using the warm water from the warm pool for healing…the only major healing spell I know doesn’t work very well with clothes….and um…I was hoping no one would go for a swim so early….
Fiana: I’ve never heard of such a spell…Are you finished dressing?
Kaza: Yes. Sorry about that.
Fiana: I’m sorry for randomly barging in.
Kaza: It’s ok… I should have posted a warning….I’m going to go now… I’ll um…show you that spell sometime…
Fiana: That’s be lovely! I’m always open to new methods of healing. Oh but would it be…proper?
Kaza: *realizes the same thing and blushes* On second thought, I’ll just write the ritual down….
Note for #4: This was rather awkward and hilarious to write. I didn't think this was a very good pair for this question :P
5. What is [3] theme song? Favorite food if [3] doesn’t have theme song.
3= Jane Exina
Jane: Whitney Houston’s “One Moment in Time”, undoubtedly.
For music I also enjoyed “Diary of Jane” by Breaking Benjamin, though that may just be because of the rhythm and the title. Sometimes I play Avril Lavigne’s “Keep Holding On” or “Innocence” when I’m upset. “Europa” by Globus is an excellent choice as well.
My favorite tea is rooibos, of course. African red bush tea. But you didn’t ask for that. Pumpkin pie, no cream, is my favorite food. The two go well together.
6. And what is [8] opinion about [3] theme song? If [3] doesn’t have a theme song make [8] eats [3]’s wallet.
8= Emile Errolheart, 3= Jane Exina
Emile: “One Moment in Time”? Honestly? You’re a rich little girl! You always have choices. And what do you care about tasting pain or breaking hearts? You’re a cold-hearted little witch.
And the other choices… “Diary of Jane” and “Europa” are nothing like “Keep Holding On” or “Innocence”, none of which suit you at all. Well, maybe “Europa”. It’s bloody enough for you, isn’t it? I thought “Breathe Me” by Sia would better suit you. You’re a sick, masochistic little girl.
Note for #5/6: I actually really liked writing these last two. It was pretty fun writing about Jane with her talking and getting Emile, who's a pretty blunt, mean little boy, to comment on it.
7. [5] has a drink in a bar and discovers [10] is a strip dancer.
5= Auris Eternia, 10= Elysia Intana Kieran.
Tired from walking home, Auris stops by a bar and orders a water. He is about to leave when he notices and recognizes Elysia walking off the stage. Rubbing his eyes in disbelief and casting a spell against illusions and visions, he tracks her outside where he confirms it’s her.*
Auris: Ely-Elysia—what-what there—I-what—what were you doing?!
Elysia: …And what exactly do you think I was doing?
Auris: You-you were on the dancing stage, where all the-the scantly clad women were.
Elysia: Uh…huh….and why were you in this place where the “scantly clad women” are?
Auris: Oh, well, I was just going to well you see, I’m learning about the Seraph of the Devil now? And that seraph is also the patron of such houses. I decided it would be an educational experience to try my hand at working in one of these houses to further my understanding of the Fifteenth Seraph.
Auris: Oh…I-I thought you practiced the Sign sect though?
Elysia: The Sanctus Aedes—Holy House—does not differentiate between the sects. A good Sister would be knowledgeable in all branches of belief. Though I don’t encourage this, it’s necessary to understand it.
Auris: …O-okay…if you say so….
Note for #7: This was....really really weird to write. Because Auris is...9...and nine-year-olds don't go in bars. And Elysia works in the religious house of her world...and wouldn't be a stripper. So... I thought of Elysia saying her lines sarcastically, but she's so deadpan when she says it that Auris, who doesn't really understand sarcasm yet, doesn't catch it.
8. So [5] was completely drunk and wakes up in bed next to… [9] and [1]?!
5= Auris Eternia, 9= Tkalis Kaza, 1= Alina Zephyr
Auris: UGhhh what’s going on? What happened?
Alina: Kaza, I never thought I would meet a person with a more curious spell than my unlocking one. But this drunk-state inducing one is certainly very curious.
Kaza: *slurring words* It-watshn’t suhpposed to make heem drunk…
Alina: I suppose it was not meant to backfire either.
Auris: Something about a spill? I have a rag to clean it up.
Alina: That is my pillow, thank you very much. Now go back to sleep, both of you. The effect will wear off after a good night of rest.
Kaza: Esht thees how eets suuhpposed to feel ahfter dreenking?
Alina: It depends. Go to sleep.
Auris: I’m too short to make a slam dunk…
Alina: Sleep!
Kaza: Hwat’s a slam dunk?
Alina: …=_=
Note for #8: This was funny. I didn't like it too much though. Aside from writing a drunk Kaza slurring his words and hearing things wrong.
9. Something exploded and now [2], [6] and [8] are gender bended! How do they react?
2=Fiana Lunaltusiem, 6= Evan Blackthorn, 8= Emile Errolheart
Female!Emile: Ughh… *cough cough* ahh What happened to my voice?!
Male!Fiana: Oh dear…I feel very strange…*decides to stay quiet.*
Female!Evan: …great, I have breasts now! And why is my hair so long? *Tries to comb his now-long hair out*
Emile: I’m a GIRL?!!!
Fiana: It seems our genders have been…swapped. Hm…I suppose I can still do everything I used to….
Emile: I’m a GIRL!! D: *despair*
Evan: Fiana, I can’t believe I’m asking you for this, but do you have a comb or brush? And a hair tie?
Emile: I am soooo not cooking for anyone. And I am totally not going shopping. That’s just too much.
Fiana: Here you go, Evan. Hm… I just realized I might be able to lift larger loads at the library and hospital now…this is actually quite fine.
Emile: And heels and makeup and purses. No way.
Evan: Fiana you actually look pretty nice as a guy. Short hair looks nice on you. Though the skirt… We should call you Fin. And Emile, you make a cute girl. If you tied your hair in pigtails you might even look and sound a little like Ever.
Emile: I sound like Ever? *Excited*
Fin: *giggles a little, which comes out as a deep chuckle* I don’t actually mind the short hair… You can be Evana then? It even means the same.
Evana: Evana Blackthorn, assassin and seductress *strikes a pose* I mean, princess and student. Haha, why not? What about you, Emile? How does Emily Errolheart sound?
Emile Emily: Noo… *wail* This isn’t funny! Change me back! T_T
Note for #9: This was probably one of my favorite questions in this meme, as the length probably suggests. And of course, I had to give them new names for their new genders. I was really excited to find names that were similar to their original names. Especially Fiana's, since one of her other names is "Fin Fian" and in her male form she becomes "Fin."Fiana was too ok with her new gender that it wasn't that interesting, but I think the guys--I mean girls'--reactions were fairly amusing.
10. [1] suddenly feels an urge to chase after unicorns. What do [3] do to help him/her?
1= Alina Zephyr, 3= Jane Exina
Jane: Hello Alina. Where’re you going out to?
Alina: I am going to chase unicorns now. It suddenly struck my fancy to.
Jane: Collecting potion ingredients? Or just for the exercise?
Alina: I have not yet decided. Probably just to amuse me.
Jane: If you don’t mind a slowpoke, I’ll come with you. I’ve read that they like rainbows. Perhaps if we brought some water we could tempt them to come closer.
Alina: Excellent idea. I would enjoy the company.
11. [4] is getting married to a rainbow dinosaur. How did it happen? Does [7] do anything about it?
4= Sonora Li, 7= Ever Blaize
Sonora: A rainbow dinosaur? Why do my arranged marriages suck so much? First I get paired with an oily, power-hungry hermit, then an arrogant, perverted geek, and now a random, rainbow dinosaur? We’re not even the same species this time!
Ever: I don’t know…maybe just…bad luck? You should be glad so many people want to marry you, Sona.
Sonora: But I already have someone I like…Why does my love life suck so much? Why is it that every time some group needs a peace treaty my hand and heart go to the chopping block?
Ever: That’s a good question actually…who started the war with the rainbow dinosaurs?
Sonora: No one knows….Well, if it means peace, I suppose.
Ever: And knowing your track record, peace will be established and you won’t actually need to be married!
Sonora: And maybe the dinosaur will be nice. Maybe he’ll be friendly and content with life. Oh! What if he was a pterodactyl? Those fly! Maybe he’ll teach me to fly!
Ever: That’s the way to think of it! Can I be the flower girl?
Sonora: Only if I have to go through with it. And don’t set the flowers on fire.
Note for #11: This might be a bit of an inside joke that only I and maybe my brother would get. heh.
12. [8] is being chased by evil toys in a locked toy factory with a pen as his/her only weapon. Does he/she survive through the night?
8= Emile Errolheart
<i> He’s screwed. Majorly, unless he has someone more creative and magical to protect him. </i>
Emile: Well, I suppose I’d be ok. I mean, as long as I don’t have to worry about anyone else, I think I could manage. I mean, they’re just toys, right? What’s the worst they can do? Make a giant pile around me? I’d just chill by the door until morning.
And what’s with the useless pen? What am I supposed to do? Doodle on them if they get too close? Seriously.
Note for #12: Irony is a very good part of my image for Emile hehehe!
13. [5], [7] and [10] is having a picnic. Suddenly a giant pink donut falls out from the sky. Which one of them is likely to get hit by it?
5= Auris Eternia, 7= Ever Blaize, 10= Elysia Intana Kieran
Auris: Watch out! Incoming donut! *Summons his phoenix and takes to the sky, grabbing Ever with him as he escapes through the hole in the center.*
Elysia: Huh? Oh, huh.
Elysia looks up too late to move and grabs her sword. As the donut comes down she unsheathes and swings, aiming to slice the donut so it won’t hit her. Her cut is fine, but then the jelly filling flies out and rains all over her, leaving her covered with jelly, donut and pink frosting.
Ever: Oh dear…um…we’ll help you eat it?
Elysia: Doesn’t seem poisonous. Be my guest.
14. [8] stole [6] most valuable item (or person). What happen next?
8= Emile Errolheart, 6= Evan Blackthorn
When Evan discovers the theft, he stalks and corners Emile.
“Errolheart….”
Emile turns. Behind him is a wall of shadow, darkness radiating off a vaguely humanoid figure. Even anti-magic Emile can feel the gravity of the black magic gathering in front of him, pulling at the bonds between his soul and body. There is no order to this magic. It is everything and nothing at once, a black hole sending off an occasional spark of color. At the center of this shadow, unmoving in a constantly shifting cloud of energy and power, are two small points of light: bright, colorless slits that drill through everything, exactly like the event horizon that warps and razes everything that so much as grazes it.
Emile balks, forgets that he can speak, forgets that he can move, forgets why this demonic spirit is after his blood. All he can remember is that he is alive, very pitifully alive, and that he is about to feel what eternal torture means.
<i> Actually, knowing them, it’d go somewhat more like this: </i>
Emile: Evan. I stole your most valuable item. What’re you going to do about it?
Evan: Uhh…what’s my most valuable item again?
Emile: *facepalm*
15. [10] found a Death Note! Who dies?
10= Elysia Intana Kieran
Elysia: Oh, cool? Dear Seraph XIII, Death. How do I use this?….Oh, that’s helpful. Completely helpful. Because I completely didn’t know that much. Well then.
*Writes: Vesper Jinan Wisteria. Cause of death: Asphyxiates when he next says something rude or arrogant.*
Elysia: Well then, I’m giving him a chance to live. But if he doesn’t…hehehe. We’ll see just how well this note works. >:)
Note for #15: I couldn't think of anyone Elysia would want to kill from the list, so I used someone from her story. I don't think that's actually against the rules.
16. [1], [2] and [4] are staying at [9]’s house while the house is surrounded by zombies! Wait, what do you mean [1] was bitten by a zombie?
1= Alina Zephyr, 2= Fiana Lunaltusiem, 4= Sonora Li, 9= Tkalis Kaza
<i> Wait…Kaza doesn’t have a house…. :X </i>
Sonora: Kaza and I are back, Fiana. This side of the camp is clear….Where’s Alina?
Fiana: You’re safe! I-I don’t know. I haven’t seen her since the start of the attack…
Sonora: Hmm.. She’s an Object though… I’m sure she’ll be alright.
*Outside, a zombie-fied Alina screeches bloody murder in zombie-language.*
Kaza: *peeks outside the adobe hut.* Oh. Um. Well. I don’t think it’s her we should be worried for. Fin Fian,…do you have anything that would help against these…zombies?
Fiana: As far as a cure? N-no…I have my notes with me though and can run through them?
Kaza: You can use the herbs here. Suddenly I don’t mind living in a storeroom.
*Zombie!Alina charges at the doorway*
Fiana: eek! I-I’ll hurry!
Kaza: Right! *Gets in a defensive position in front of the door* Sonora, try not to hurt Alina! We don’t want to hurt her if we can help it!
Sonora: *takes up a position in front of Kaza.* Way ahead of you!
*They proceed to try to capture Alina and heal her, while fighting off the rest of the zombies.*
Note for #16: [Shot of heros riding into the sunset. Fade to black. Cut and wrap.]
17. [7] found a time machine. What does he/she do?
7= Ever Blaize
Ever: hm….Hey, Auris, you want to go back in time and find your birthparents?
Auris: Oh…I don’t know…what would I do about it anyways? I mean, I like Dawn as my mom just fine.
Ever: Oh, well, if not, why don’t we go back and see the beginning of the universe?
Auris: Genesis of our world? Or the Writer’s world? That sounds pretty cool.
Ever: Of everything. Of the beginning of our writer’s writer’s writer’s writer’s—etc. existence.
Auris: Ok. I’ll go do some research. Can you pack me a jacket? I’m afraid the beginning of the universe might be a bit chilly.
Note for #17: I actually like how this one turned out. It's cute, I think, and probably not what what 8 and 9 year olds would actually do.
18. [3], [4] and [5] decided to rob a bank. How does it go?
3= Jane Exina, 4= Sonora Li, 5= Auris Eternia
Auris: Um.um.um. Hi…I’m here to withdraw some cash?
Sonora: Alright! Wallets in the air and hands where I can see them! You there! Hand out the cash! *Brandishes her sword.*
Jane: Hey, you can’t just—
Sonora: Silence! *Swishes her sword down, holding Jane at swordpoint. Jane quiets, quivering visibly.* Wallets over here! Slide them over!
Auris glances over and chucks the a bunch of paper and cash and pens at Sonora. While Sonora is distracted, Jane sneaks away, ducking under the counter and taking cover with the bank tenders. Acting nervous, Auris throws objects from around them at her. Others join in. Sonora deflects the projectiles with her sword or a shield of energy and the two basically create a ruckus. Meanwhile, Jane slips into the back and picks or otherwise breaks all the locks and loads all the loot. When she’s done, Sonora flees, pretending to be routed and Auris is hailed as a hero. They rendezvous later and split the pot.
Note for #18: I kind of find it funny that Jane and Auris were chosen to rob the bank: Jane's plenty rich since her mother's basically a celebrity/ superhero and her dad owns the equivalent of Barnes and Noble; and Auris, who's innocent, honest and volunteers at any volunteer place he can find in any city he can find, and who grew up with a step-mother who once survived on the streets without doing anything illegal and grew up to be successful.
19. Oh no! [8] was hit by a fire truck! Who (in the list) will be the first one to show up in the hospital?
8= Emile Errolheart
Ever Blaize and Auris Eternia (they’d go together, which would irritate Emile XD). Ever would have brought brownies and Auris a card. They would sit there in awkward silence until Evan came, to check out how his “lil bro” was doing. That would ease the tension a bit.
20. Tag someone? If you don’t do tagging, tell me [6]’s dark secret.
6= Evan Blackthorn
Evan: Well…I know Sonora likes me yet I feign obliviousness because… I don’t know how to reject her without hurting her feelings…and I like being liked, as selfish as that sounds. I know our friends think I don’t confront her about it because they think I don’t know. They think I’m “decent” about it, like I am about everything. I tell myself it’s less awkward this way. But I’m just being a selfish coward. Everyone sees me as this honest guy, but I’m…not. I’m really horrible.
Note for #1/20: I actually really liked how this meme started and ended with Evan (though that's probably how the meme was designed and all...) This isn't exactly his "darkest secret" or anything, but it was the first one that popped into mind and I actually like how it came out. I actually think I like most of Evan's interactions in this meme. He's quite lucky, haha
I'll be posting that random little bit on Jane and Fiana soon and hopefully another clip from my NaNo! I"m terribly behind word count, but I'll make it eventually, I'm sure! :)
Thanks for Reading! Comments are loved! :)
