The 7 Characters Game

[Abaratian]

Before reading on, you need to pick your seven favorite Abarat characters and list them, 1 - 7, like below. I can't stop you from reading the questions and then forming a list, but this is so much more entertaining if you just make the list first and stick to it.

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

This game is usually done with 10 characters, but I cut it down. Anyways, once your characters are picked, answer the questions below... I like this game and think it's pretty fun!



- How would a romantic relationship between 6 and 3 work?

- Character 1 has been talking online with someone for a while, and decides to go on a blind date. Their date ends up being character 5! What ensues?

- Characters 2 and 4 are getting married. What is their wedding song?

- Characters 3 and 7 are fighting. What about? What happens? Who wins?

- Character 2 goes to Hereafter for vacation. What do they do? (If character 2 is someone from Hereafter, like Melissa or Norma, then pretend they're going to Abarat instead)

- Characters 2 and 7 must, for some reason, be roommates. Why? What happens? How long does it last?

- Due to a spell gone awry or some strange Abaratian magic, characters 1 and 4 switch bodies. What happens?

- Candy has brought some Hereafter traditions with her to the Abarat! As unlikely as it might seem, the characters are doing Secret Santa and character 5 pulls character 6's name out of the hat. What present will character 5 get for character 6?

- Character 1 recommends character 3 a book. Which book is it?

- Years ago, characters 4 and 7 were deeply in love. What happened to get them where they are now?

- Characters 3 and 5 go on a date in Hereafter. Where do they go? How does it end?

- Character 1 kills character 6. How and why?

7.john brothers

- How would a romantic relationship between 6 and 3 work?
probably well considering candy has boa's soul, but still ick

- Character 1 has been talking online with someone for a while, and decides to go on a blind date. Their date ends up being character 5! What ensues? once they find out, they probably throw up and then have an epic battle (unfortunetly they arranged the date to be at mc. donalds) ;D

- Character 1 kills character 6. How and why? Because of boa (and yes, Carrion would so pwn Finnegan) ;D

[caitycat66]

Oh my god, that's so wrong. I'm going to be sick.

(1 & 6 would be funny though, at least, for a minute. Both for the blind date one and the murder one.)

[RedStockings]

1. Carrion
2. Letheo
3. Malingo
4. John Brothers
5. Candy
6. Pixler
7. Mater Motley

- How would a romantic relationship between 6 and 3 work? (Pixler and Malingo), oh no, please no….ick.

- Character 1 has been talking online with someone for a while, and decides to go on a blind date. Their date ends up being character 5! What ensues? (Carrion and Candy) I think Carrion would be very pleased with the outcome of that!

- Characters 2 and 4 are getting married. What is their wedding song? Letheo and the John Brothers get married to Aggado by Black Lace.

- Characters 3 and 7 are fighting. What about? What happens? Who wins? Malingo and Motley are fighting over the TV remote. It breaks in half and they’re forced to watch trashy daytime chat shows.

- Characters 2 and 7 must, for some reason, be roommates. Why? What happens? How long does it last? Letheo and Mater Motley move in together fater Motley gets behind on her rent, but she can’t cope with Letheo’s party lifestyle, and they decide it won’t work out.

- Years ago, characters 4 and 7 were deeply in love. What happened to get them where they are now? The John’s and Motley’s love was too great to survive, plus the John’s managed to escape the dungeon.

Woot.

[Abaratian]

That last one was completely brilliant

I've decided to do this, too, but because I obviously know the questions already I used a randomizer online. Here it is for the rest of you to use if you'd like:

www.random.org/lists/

1. Malingo
2. John Mischief
3. Deaux-Deaux
4. Otto Houlihan
5. Rojo Pixler
6. Leeman Vol
7. Christopher Carrion

- How would a romantic relationship between Leeman Vol and Deaux-Deaux work?
Not very well, I'd imagine...

- Malingo has been talking online with someone for a while, and decides to go on a blind date. Their date ends up being Rojo Pixler! What ensues?
I can't remember if Malingo has ever shown a dislike of Pixler like the rest of the characters have. I think Pixler, however, would be disgusted that his date was a geshrat and probably would just leave. He seems like he'd be species-ist like that. He probably has stuffed geshrats in his taxidermy collection.

- John Mischief and Otto Houlihan are getting married. What is their wedding song?
You can't hear one over the sound of the other brothers screaming and cursing.

- Deaux-Deaux and Christopher Carrion are fighting. What about? What happens? Who wins?
Deaux-Deaux would probably be pretty angry that Carrion tried to kill him on several different occasions. Well... not him, but by trying to kill the people he was with he ended up experiencing near-death many times. So I imagine Deaux-Deaux would start it, but Christopher Carrion would very quickly finish it.

- John Mischief goes to Hereafter for vacation. What do they do?
John Mischief has been to Hereafter, as we saw! But I imagine he'd split up his time between stealing various expensive things and relaxing somewhere like the mountains. People in Abarat must get tired of beaches and oceans.

- John Mischief and Christopher Carrion must, for some reason, be roommates. Why? What happens? How long does it last?
I think both of them would walk out as soon as they saw the other ones face. Or else they would fight to the death, right there in the apartment, leaving the landlady to clean up the loser's blood.

- Due to a spell gone awry or some strange Abaratian magic, Malingo and Otto Houlihan switch bodies. What happens?
Chaos! Houlihan would be using his Malingo body to get Candy for Christopher Carrion, and Malingo would try to warn her but because of his Criss-Cross Man body, Candy would absolutely not trust him.

- Candy has brought some Hereafter traditions with her to the Abarat! As unlikely as it might seem, the characters are doing Secret Santa and character 5 pulls character 6's name out of the hat. What present will character 5 get for character 6?
Bug spray hahaha!

- Malingo recommends Deaux-Deaux a book. Which book is it?
A vegetarian cook book! Sea-Skippers eat sailors, so I imagine they could easily eat a geshrat, too. Malingo is probably afraid for his life, sailing the seas with a maneater on his crew.

- Years ago, Otto Houlihan and Christopher Carrion were deeply in love. What happened to get them where they are now?
It was going pretty smoothly, because it was easy for Carrion to explain why the evil, devious Criss-Cross Man was always in his company. But then he let the word "love" slip out around the already-suspicious Mater Motley and we all know what happened after that! The pair decided they would keep it strictly professional, especially because with sewn-up lips it's a little hard to make out.

- Deaux-Deaux and Rojo Pixler go on a date in Hereafter. Where do they go? How does it end?
Again, I can't imagine Rojo Pixler would like to go on a date with an animal. I also can't imagine Deaux-Deaux would want to go on a date with Rojo Pixler. So it wouldn't really happen.

- Malingo kills Leeman Vol. How and why?
Upon setting eyes on Leeman Vol, Malingo panicked and thought the man was being attacked and eaten by a swarm of bugs. He jumped in to the rescue, trying to swat all the bugs off, but when he realized his attempts were in vain, he decided to kill Vol and put him out of his misery.

[RedStockings]

otto and carrion? haha! but still ew.

[worldfantasygirl]

those are pretty messed up but so funny ( malingo killing vol and john mischief getting married to otto)

[caitycat66]

Um... Carrion and... Houlihan? Ew. Ew. Ew ew ew. EW! Too wrong for words.

[inumaru]

1. Malingo
2. Carrion
3. Deaux-Deaux
4. John Mischief
5. Candy
6. Houlihan
7. Letheo

- How would a romantic relationship between 6 and 3 work? Considering that Deaux-Deaux and Houlihan were seperated during the Abarat series, it must have ended badly.

- Character 1 has been talking online with someone for a while, and decides to go on a blind date. Their date ends up being character 5! What ensues? In fangirl vision, Malingo and Candy would be ecstatic!

- Characters 2 and 4 are getting married. What is their wedding song? (Carrion and Mischief) ....silent night...no really...it's silent that night because there's no wedding @_@

- Characters 3 and 7 are fighting. What about? What happens? Who wins? Poor Letheo crashed Deaux-Deaux's ship because he forgot how to stop it. Right now, their fight is on a stand still.

- Character 2 goes to Hereafter for vacation. What do they do? (If character 2 is someone from Hereafter, like Melissa or Norma, then pretend they're going to Abarat instead) Carrion is found by a famous mangaka (manga artist) and becomes everyone's favorite bishounen (handsome male character)

- Characters 2 and 7 must, for some reason, be roommates. Why? What happens? How long does it last? Mater Motley kicked Carrion and Letheo out of the towers. Carrion stays at the appartment while Letheo pays the bills by working at Assassins R Us. It lasts as long as Carrion has the green stuff.

- Due to a spell gone awry or some strange Abaratian magic, characters 1 and 4 switch bodies. What happens? Malingo developes multiple personality disorder while Mischief feels suddenly...alone

- Candy has brought some Hereafter traditions with her to the Abarat! As unlikely as it might seem, the characters are doing Secret Santa and character 5 pulls character 6's name out of the hat. What present will character 5 get for character 6? Candy gets Houlihan a 'How to Not Die from a Starstriker for Dummies.'

- Character 1 recommends character 3 a book. Which book is it? (Malingo and Deaux-Deaux) '1001 Ways to Prepare Sushi'...for variation

- Years ago, characters 4 and 7 were deeply in love. What happened to get them where they are now? (Letheo and Mischief) Oh...wow...I'm sure there were some court orders going on there.

- Characters 3 and 5 go on a date in Hereafter. Where do they go? How does it end? (Candy and Deaux-Deaux) They eat at his house because he used Malingo's book. Because we're in fangirl world, the date ends with a kiss.

- Character 1 kills character 6. How and why? (Malingo and Houlihan) Malingo hits Houlihan over the head with 'How to Not Die from a Starstriker for Dummies' that was lying around. Why? No one knows....XD

[caitycat66]

Lol.

[Usagi]

1. Christopher Carrion (of course)
2. Letheo
3. Ganstah J Bros (fo shizzz)
4. Malingo
5. Candy Francesca Quakenbush (I <3 the Lexicon)
6. Deaux-Deaux
7. Otto Houlihan


- How would a romantic relationship between 6 and 3 work?
Interesting...I don't think poor D-D couldn't handle so many partners. (Besides the fact I'm pretty sure the Johns enjoy land)

- Character 1 has been talking online with someone for a while, and decides to go on a blind date. Their date ends up being character 5! What ensues?
Love, romance, lust!!! DUH!!! I totally ship them, hello!!

- Characters 2 and 4 are getting married. What is their wedding song?
Letheo and Malingo....Hmm...I could see Malingo playing the more feminine role and wanting classical, while Letheo going for some harder Scottish Rock. So they would compromise and get...The Best is Yet to Come by Sinatra. (I spent way too long on this question and that's the best I could come up with) I could see Letheo being a little huffy about it all, but he'd get over it.

- Characters 3 and 7 are fighting. What about? What happens? Who wins?
The ganstahs want to go rob some rich place and Otto is freaking out because....Carrion wants them to get Candy??? Hmm...sure. The Johns win because they are manipulative and good like that.

- Character 2 goes to Hereafter for vacation. What do they do? (If character 2 is someone from Hereafter, like Melissa or Norma, then pretend they're going to Abarat instead)
Goes to a few rock concerts, hangs out in a pub, joins a street gang.

- Characters 2 and 7 must, for some reason, be roommates. Why? What happens? How long does it last?
They both work for the Big C, so it makes sense. They drink together and then get drunkenly angry at each other, slam the door, then turn around and cry and hug each other and say they are sorry.

- Due to a spell gone awry or some strange Abaratian magic, characters 1 and 4 switch bodies. What happens?
Oh boy. I'm sure Malingo would be crying. Carrion would use Malingo to get to Candy. He would probably be too clingy/demanding and Candy would freak.

- Candy has brought some Hereafter traditions with her to the Abarat! As unlikely as it might seem, the characters are doing Secret Santa and character 5 pulls character 6's name out of the hat. What present will character 5 get for character 6?
Candy would get Deaux-Deaux some fish flavored chocolate...Mmmmm....

- Character 1 recommends character 3 a book. Which book is it?
Machiavelli's The Prince. I'm not exactly sure what Carrion would get out of that book though.

- Years ago, characters 4 and 7 were deeply in love. What happened to get them where they are now?
Malingo was going for the bad boy and Otto lost his heart...

- Characters 3 and 5 go on a date in Hereafter. Where do they go? How does it end?
The John brothers and Candy....hmm...they go to the movies and see a romantic comedy. All the other brothers growl and complain the whole time, causing other people to throw popcorn at them.

- Character 1 kills character 6. How and why?
Carrion was leaning off the side of his ship and D x2 got a little too close. Carrion was being grumpy that day (no surprise) and he pulled an Avada Kadavra.

[Usagi]

The pair decided they would keep it strictly professional, especially because with sewn-up lips it's a little hard to make out.

Buaha!!

That's would make quite an interesting fanfic. I can see how it could be useful though. We (us?) fangirls would get the CxC pairing we want, and Malingo could use his new powers/body to... do good things. Right?
