i found this writing excersize someone started on some other forum somewhere and thought a few people here would like to give it a go!

basically, each person ends there post with a question asking what the next person's character would do in a situation. then the next poster would answer the question and post their own question at the end, and so on and so forth.

this wasnt made to plug your comic. it could be a lot of fun, but let other people have chances.dont be a post whore.

answering other people's questions could help you think outside the box about your characters and stories, and im sure we could get some really weird ones on here. even if you cant think of an answer to the current question, go back and read some other questions people have posted and answer them on your own. could help!

you can write about any of your characters, even people writing novels can work on this.

there wasnt a question for me to answer, so i have no reply to post, so ill go straight to the question.

What would your character do if they fell down an open sewer?

Make an 'D8' face and be eaten by radioactive rats

They would probably see it as the Apocalypse and kill themselves.

What would your character do in the event of a zombie invasion?

Okay, so you know how in zombie movies, when the rag-tag band of survivors bands together, and there's always that one guy who does something really dumb to get himself killed, but not before putting the rest of the party in some new and even more dangerous situation? Like opening the door to the outside, or somethin' like that? Yeah, that would be Vic.

What would your character do if his/her blind date was, um, "not as advertised"?

Ahab would suffer through the date if it wasn't good as a result and then nostalgically think back on it again sometime later, possibly gleaning some personal meaning or growth from the experience.

Your character has been clinging to a floating piece of debris after a ship he/she rode on capsized. The only other person with you is a whiny ill tempered spoiled brat of around 8-9 years of age. You've been out in the sea for days thus far and this irredeemable child is on your last nerve. You're also down to your last meager ration of food and water, but there's only enough for one of you. Landfall may come in the next few days if you can hold out, but it looks as though only one of you could make with the last ration. What does your character do?
 
 
"You tell yourself to just
enjoy the process," he added. "That whether you succeed or fail, win or
lose, it will be fine. You pretend to be Zen. You adopt detachment, and
ironic humor, while secretly praying for a miracle."

Marcus would kick the brat into the water and demand them to take down a shark or something for more food. And they wouldn't be allowed back on unless they managed to get one. Marcus is mean. 8D

What would your character do if someone stole their best friend and demanded an impossibly large sum of money (and cake) for their safe return?

if Puke was ransomed, Bones would kick the dude's ass, take the cake and probably forget about Puke.
If Bones was ransomed, Puke'd bust Bones out, and he'd say "fuck the cake, let's get a brew."
if it was Charlette, they'd both leave her to rot.

what would your character do if they were framed for murdering someone important?

Interesting idea for a thread.


If he was framed for murdering someone important Matthew would wait quietly, full of naive faith that the great justice system would prove his innocence.



What would your character do if they were left alone for a long time without anything particularly interesting around them?

Zoe would go insane and start running into walls. XD
Dave would finally put in some good sleeping hours. XD

Any of my mortal characters wouldn't know if they should believe it because Aeren (death) was probably the one saying it. She could be playing a joke for all you know.


What would your character do if they were offered the greatest power imaginable at the cost of all their memories?
That's "Dr. BlkKnight" to all of you.

Silvermane is a large, heavily-muscled fellow with white hair, primarily white clothes, and whom is racist, sexist, and a downright jerk to just about everyone. If he was black, he would be a large fellow with black hair, primarily black attire, and whom would be racist, sexist, and a downright jerk to just about everyone. Really, it would be mostly a cosmetic change... and maybe his name would be slightly different too.

Your character just turned into a chicken. How would they deal with this?

Zou Zou would try to pick it up with various grips and efforts to increase her strength leverage until Dave would come along with a cookie to distract her from it.


What would your character do if stranded in an island and the only thing to eat is what they get allergies at?

Fudo would probably starve while trying to figure out a way off the island or at least a way to get more supplies. Luckily, cigarettes suppress appetite, and he'd most certainly have a decent supply of those to last him awhile. Being a wanted man, he wouldn't try to make a signal fire or anything. He would sulk for a few days and act emo or suicidal, but eventually he'd find himself in a decent temperament and feel productive enough to want to start trying to build a raft out of the inedible food items along with whatever else he might find and be able to carve into something. If luck favored him, he'd find land and get in contact with Mike, who'd help him get supplies and return to the island. Fudo would then remain on the island ('deserted' is a lovely word to him), while Mike (and maybe Seiko if she learns of his new address) kept him supplied.

What would your character do if he won a million dollars but had only a week to spend it?

Flash Gordon -- Buy himself a new rocket ship, then donate the rest to any charity with a pretty booth representative.
Nuada -- Get robbed by Hanes.
Cat -- All the paper someone just gave her makes for good bedding, and bathroom tissue, and is fun to shred.
Hanes -- A week? You can have the money back, if you're feeling lucky. Punk.
Chase -- Dollars?

Um... what would your character do if he/she's on the toilet, then finds out that he/she's out of tissue... and the only remaining roll is in the restroom of the opposite sex?

There's only so much to do in "The Hub". It's a small place. There would probably be some alcohol poisoning involved, though. And a lot of strippers would be a lot richer at the end of the week. ;)

They're driving with one of their parents in a car (or some motive equivalent), they have a bad accident and the parent dies. How does your character react?

Matthew desperately calls an ambulance anyway and stays in denial about the death until his friends sit him down and make him face it.
Saul calls an ambulance and handles the situation is a detached way.

Dave: Use Zou Zou as the cute incentive, and argue how he's trustworthy for credit.

Zoe: She'd buy flour and live off it and water in various forms.

Raven: She'd steal the rest.

Jane and Edith: They'd scream and end up buying nothing.

Mike: He'd invest in glucose.

Reggie: He'd steal what he wanted and torch the rest.

Claudita: First, try to heal it. Physical blindness is not a problem to heal. If it persists, she would try to figure out why is she blind? There must be a reason why.

Eman: The more he would hate his life.

Fr. Jose: He would pray to God that he might see again. Then he would ask forgiveness for his sins, then if blindness persists, he would treat it like a penance for his sins.

Liana: Cry.

Begin lining up potential buyers and pit them against each other in a bidding war. If that doesn't work, see if any hookers accept diamond encrusted skulls. Failing that, find Damian Hurst and punch him in the face for make such an unsellable hookerless skull.

Fudo would jump off a high building with whichever enemy he happened to be glued to. He's like that. He's tried to kill himself a couple times and isn't all that wired for survival. Seems like a good excuse.

Kaida would wait for the villain to fall asleep (she can probably out-awake anyone) and then come up with a way to dispatch him, poison perhaps...

Seiko would happily converse with the enemy, now a captive audience and no threat to her. She'd find out what his motives are and work out some kind of compromise for co-existence. Before the glue wore off, she'd have a new friend or would have driven the villain mad with her endless negotiations.

If it benefited him, Exile would totally marry them. Of course (after he brutally divorced his spouse), he'd then run out on them with all of their assets and money where he'd continue to lay waste to the virgins of the land.
