1. Trisha Hawke
2. Nikolas Thatcher
3. Matthew Briggs
4. Andraste Harris
5. Akakita Sakura
6. Alexander Lanning
7. Luke Wolf
8. Aoi Harris
9. Hokai Aya
10. Catrin(Cadi) Harris
11. Hayden Black
12. Ishikawa Tomiko


1. Who would make a better college professor, 6 or 11?
Definitely Hayden, he might be a bit of a psychopath but he’s smarter than Alex and able to handle people better.

2. Do you think #2 is hot? How hot?
Nick’s not bad looking, I’m not going to take Hawke’s man though. I know when I’d be shot…

3. 12 sends 8 on a mission. What is it, and does it succeed?
Well it’s either to kill someone or pick up more doggy kibble knowing Tomiko. Aoi’d probably make it through both of them, depending on if she’s decided to be nice to her brother-in-law or not.

4. What is or would be 9's favorite book?
A sniper’s manual? No, Aya’s favorite book would probably be that book of poetry that her father gave her and was rescued from the fire that burned down her old house.

5. Would it make more sense for 2 to swear fealty to 6, or the other way around?
I think they’d leave well enough alone, but as Nick is married to Alex’s aunt if he wasn’t military and Alex an assassin/thief it’d be Alex swearing to Nick.

6. For whatever reason, 5 is looking for a roommate. Should 5 share a studio apartment with 9 or with 10?
Sakura should probably share with Aya – I mean she takes over raising the girl when Aya’s fourteen or so.

7. 2, 7, and 12 have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss?
I’ve got some of an idea what Luke and Tomiko would discusss – they being married and all – but what would poor Nick talk about? Not a clue. I’m sure Luke would be asking questions about his little cousins with Tomiko translating the sign language so Nick can understand. As for where? Who knows? Depends on the circumstances.

8. 3 challenges 10 to a duel. What happens?
Matt’s not a swordsman. Cadi’s not the best but she’s not horrible at it either.

9. If 1 stole 8's most precious possession, how would 8 get it back?
Aoi’d ask his aunt for it back nicely.

10. Suggest a title for a story in which 7 and 12 both attain what they most desire.
-_-; They get married to each other so maybe: ‘The Wedding of the Dog Handlers’

11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 and 1 to work together?
Not much of one, I just locate the problem in America instead of Andy’s typical Japan. Trisha sticks to the US after all.

12. If 7 visited you for the weekend, how would you get along?
I don’t know – Luke’s fairly nice but it’d be strange having him around, and I probably wouldn’t like it if he brought all the dogs…

13. If you could command 3 to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?
Go throw himself off a cliff. It’s not like I can get Matt to obey a command anyways, I have to bribe him for everything.

14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw anything regarding 11?
Well beyond a cooperative story/rp I’ve never really used Black, Kristin should mention him some in her sections of the coop, I’m sure, but she’s not edited it – neither have I for that matter.

15. If 2 had to choose sides between 4 and 5, which would it be?
Nick: Andy’s got more of a level head than Sakura, and I don’t approve of torture.
Sakura: It’s not torture, it’s interrogation.

16. What might 10 shout while charging into battle?
Absolutely nothing – she’s from a family of assassins – since when did assassins shout when they charged into battle?

17. If you chose a song to represent 8, which song would you choose?
‘They’re Coming to Take Me Away’? No, not really, but maybe…-thinks about it-

18. 1, 6, and 12 are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it?
Trisha, Alex and Tomiko are eating together? How’d that happen? Eh, it’d probably be Alex or Tomiko. Who ever moves quicker.

19. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 to use on 10?
Nick: Cadi’s my grand-niece…
Trisha: Don’t it make ya feel old, Nick?

20. What would 5 most likely be arrested for?
-_-‘ Torture, murder, manipulating the evidence, being part of a crime organization, and when she was younger prostitution. Sakura’s a lovely character who’s on the very right side of the law.

21. What is 6's secret?
Alex: I’ve a secret? My wife’s my clan’s intelligence officer, do you really think I can keep anything from her?

22. If 11 and 9 were racing to a destination, who would get there first?
Hayden would probably beat Aya. If only because he’d play dirty to do so.

23. If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 or 8?
I’d feel more comfortable with Luke, Aoi’s not a bad guy but Luke is more experienced at being a bodyguard than he is.

24. 1 and 9 reluctantly team up to save the world from the threat posed by 4's sinister secret organization. 11 volunteers to help them, but it is later discovered that he is actually a spy for 4. Meanwhile, 4 has kidnapped 12 in an attempt to force their surrender. Following the wise advice of 5, they seek out 3, who gives them what they need to complete their quest. What title would you give this fic?
Trisha and Aya team up against the threat provided by the Nightblade clan, Hayden volunteers to help them but is later found to be a spy for Andy. Meanwhile Andy’s kidnapped Tomiko in an attempt to force their surrender and following Sakura’s advice they seek out Briggs who gives them what they need to complete their quest? What would I title that? ‘Looney Tunes Escaped Again’. All of them are Nightblades except for Briggs who is married to Trisha. Andy would never kidnap her daughter in law, and they all hate Hayden Black since the only truthful part in that bit is the fact that he’s a liar.


25. 1, 6, and 11 are all told to wait in a room together until someone comes in to get them. Let's say no one does. Who would leave the room first?
Trisha, Alex, and Hayden are in a room together. I think Hayden would leave first, if only to preserve his life, even though Trisha would be the first one to get bored.

26. If 2 had to do one nice thing for 8, what would it be?
What does one normally do for relatives?

27. If 4 and 7 co-stared in a movie, what genre would it most likely fall under?
Action. They’re both assassins, and Luke is Andy’s heir anyways…

28. If 3 was made into a toy, who would be more likely to buy it? 9 or 10?
If Matt were made into a toy would Aya or Cadi buy it? Um…neither would but Cadi is more likely to…

29. Would 5 be likely to consider stalking 12, or vise versa?
Sakura: I don’t stalk anyone, that’s Carolyn’s job.
Tomiko: It’d be Sakura stalking me, she’s the spy, I’m just a lowly assassin.

30. What would 6 make the better star of? An anime or a newspaper comic strip?
A comic strip, there’s not that much you can do with Alex the star.

31. 8 wants to buy a car but can't decide who offers a better bargain. Should (s)he buy from 2 or 11?
Aoi’d probably get a better deal out of Nick. After all in both versions of the story – mine and the coop it’s one of his parents that kills Hayden black.

32. If 5 wanted to dye his or her hair but could not decide on the color, would (s)he rely on 1's opinion or 4's?
She’d go with Andy’s. Trisha’s not an idiot but she knows nothing of fashion – why do you think she always is in uniform for formal functions? Andy’s got experience with costume design for the theater.

33. Whose babies would be cuter? 12 and 3's, or 9 and 2's? (If it is impossible for them to breed because of gender or species, just go with it and pretend that it was possible, please.)
Ishikawa Tomiko’s and Matthew Briggs? Or Hokai Aya and Nickolas Thatcher? Well the gender’s right. The poor kid’s going to be half Japanese half English no matter what way you go…still I think Matt’s features would be better with the Japanese.

34. Who would have a DeviantArt account; and if not, what would their reason be?
Trisha just doesn’t have time. Nikolas might, but just for looking at art, he’s got as much time as his wife. Matt just wouldn’t care about art… Andy might, for her costume design and clothes making. Sakura’s got better things to do with her time, and Alex has no interest in art beyond that which involves turning one’s target into swiss cheese. Luke doesn’t do much art, but he’s more of the type to consider it too, so is Tomiko though I actually don’t know if she does anything in terms of art… Aya and Aoi might too, for social purposes and looking at art, but while Aoi draws he’s got no confidence in his ability. Cadi wouldn’t, not that I know of, she just doesn’t care. Hayden’s same way.
