S: Sander (Sidekick)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The following is rated PG-13+ for characters with dirty mouths and minds...

1) How Old Are You?
J: Nineteen. And a half. Well, nearly. Er, who's that other g-

B: Twenty.

S: Twenty-seven. *grins at Jamie* And aren't you cute?

J: *growls*

B: *watches Sander narrowly*


2) Height?
J: Six foot two. Still growing, I think.

B: Five ten. *sighs*

S: Mm, tall and feisty, short and taciturn... Hm? Oh. Yes. Just short of two ells myself. (note: ~6 ft.)


3) You Got Any Bad Habits?
S: *grins* Oh, well, that depends on who you ask...  Mic says I have the morals of a polecat, but he's a nobleman and his lady-love's a long way away, so he's a little wound-up.

*the boys edge a little further away*

J: Um, I'm kind of addicted to video games.

B: I have a hard time censoring myself.  's why I don't talk a lot.


4) You a virgin?
S: *laughs*  Oh, not for a long time, friend.

J: Er.  D’you think my mother’s going to read this?  Because...

B: She barely acknowledges the existence of Facebook.  No.

J: Well...right...no, then.

5) Who's your Mate/Spouse?
B: *bumps shoulders with Jamie, grinning*

J: *nods* Ben here. *smiles, obviously trying not to blush*

S: *watches them, a softer look on his face than before*  Not got one myself.  Lots of friendly fellows, but none for staying.  I don’t mind, really.

6) Have Any Kids?
J: Er, no...  I’ve had a girlfriend, but, um no.  Too young for that, thanks.

B: No.

S: I doubt it extremely, unless somebody got me very drunk once and found a girl who looked very convincing in a tunic and hosen.

B: *looks mildly queasy*

J: Seriously, are you likely to be in that situation?  Because your life must be really screwed up...

7) Favourite Food?
B: Guacamole or gyros.

J: Spaghetti.

S: And I have no idea what those things are... Lentil soup with carrots and onions.  Duck roasted in apple sauce.


8) Favourite Ice Cream flavour?
(hastily-educated and taste-tested) S: Tiramisu...  *looks dazed but very happy*

J: Maple walnut.  Lots of it.

B: Er, just strawberry.


9) Killed anyone?
B: No, but I may have to at some point.

J: Like he said.  I’ve seen people die.  If I have to kill someone to prevent that happening again... *leans against Ben, looking somberly down at his hands*

S: Yes.  Mic and I were ambushed by bandits eight years ago.  Two men died by my blade and bow.  Seven years ago, a mad baron tried to trample me with his warhorse, but I pulled him out of the saddle and his head cracked against the paving stones.  He never woke.  Five years ago a group of men started worshiping a giant snake and were feeding it the local farmers’ children.  I had to kill three before Michael and I managed to capture the rest for trial.  Three years ago, a raiding party attacked the village where we were staying overnight.  Seven men took my arrows to their death.  Last year two men took a fancy to Mic and he’d had too much to drink, so he couldn’t defend himself.  They wouldn’t take no for an answer and one died from the wounds I gave him. *looks at the boys*  I’ve killed fourteen men, lads.  I remember every one.  See that you do the same.  Sometimes you kill them for a good reason, sometimes you want to keep them for trial, but you do it anyway, when it needs to be done.  And you remember, because to stay human you have to, but you go on living, because to stay sane, you’ve got to do that.

10) Hate anyone?
S:  *shakes himself free of his thoughts*  Well, I’d like to give Ysabeau’s father a good cuff upside the head, but I don’t hate the uptight git.  He’s just annoying.  Hm.  How about the lords who don’t care about their folk.

B: Racist, homophobic assholes.

J: People who won’t even try to understand people who are different from themselves.

B: *mumbles* Like I said.

11) Any Secrets?
J: Well, the Guard’s not big on the “secret identity” thing and we made a statement to the press about me and Ben, so...an undying passion for cheetos and The Princess Bride?

B: *looks down* I tried to kill myself in high school.  Twice. Stupid depressed kid shit. *Jamie wraps an arm around him*

S: I write letters to my friend Michael’s lady and tell her the bad things about our adventures that he tries to keep to himself.  I promised her I would.  She deserves to know all of it.


12) Love Anyone?
J: *looks at Ben and blushes*

B: *nods*

S: Many and often.  *grins*


13) TACOS?
J: They’re...good?

B: My auntie’s.

S: Er... What?

14) Ever slept in All day?
S:  I wish I had the chance more often.  We’re always on the road.  But a warm hayloft or bed, with a warm man beside me... *sighs*

J: On Saturdays, sometimes.

B: When I get the chance.


15) Favourite Show?
J: Doctor Who! And Torchwood.

B: Firefly.

J: But it’s discon-

B: Firefly.

S: Again, I think I’m missing something...  Bard Stefen, in the Mercedies capital?

16) Favourite Movie?
B: Shaun of the Dead.

J: 300.  Definitely.  Hou! Hou! Hou!

S: *shakes head*

17) Favourite Band? (if they lived in our world, our time)
J: Mm, Flogging Molly, probably.  ‘s awesome.

B: *shrug* System of a Down, maybe.

21^st c. Earth S: The Beatles.

18) Eye Colours?
J: Grey.  Sorta dark.

B: Brown.

S: Hazel, but they usually just look brown.

J: I like brown eyes.

S: I like your eyes, pretty boy.

B: *glares*

J: *snarls* Quit it!

19) Skin?
B: Medium brown

J: Light brown and peach-ish.

S: Tan.

20) Fat/Average/Slim?
J: *sighs* Still pretty skinny.

B: Average.

S: Average, though I’ve heard more flattering words.

21) Rain, sunshine?
B: Rain’s good.

J: You just like to stay indoors reading.  I like sun better.

S: Me too.  Be my sun, sweet?

J: You-!

B: *looks at Sander narrowly*  Shut it, now. *plants himself firmly between Jamie and the smirking Sander*

22) Pool, Beach?
J: Beach.

B: Same.

S: Ah, now you’re both all curt...  Pools and ponds along streams are nice.  I’ve not seen much of the ocean.

23) Camping, staying home?
S:  I haven’t been home in years.  I much prefer sleeping in an inn to sleeping on the ground, though.

J: Camping is fun.  The Olympic Peninsula has some great spots.

B: Camping with Jamie is good.  With family it varies.

24) Dog, Cat?
J: Cats.  Ben too.  He likes kittens. *grins*

B: *shoves him* Jerk.

S: Dogs are more likely to try to bite me, while cats like pissing in my saddlebags.  I’ll stick with horses.

25) Believe in aliens?
J: Yeah... No choice there, really.  They exist.

B: Yeah.

S: Er...?

26) Natural Born, or Clone?
J: All human, natural born, though apparently by c-section.

B: Natural.

S: Clone?

27) Car or Ship?
S: I get seasick, but I’ve never been in a caravan, so I can’t compare.

J: Sailing is fun.  I’ve never been on a ship, though, just my uncle’s sailboat.

B: Car, I guess.

28) Ever destroyed something out of Blind Rage?
S: Nnno, can’t say that I have.

B: My bedroom wall at home has a few dents it didn’t start out with.

J: A tv.

29) Any Unusual Things about you?
J: Um...you mean besides the whole superpowers-can call-up-mystical-sword-and-armor deal?  I’m an only twin.

S: What?

J: Inside joke.  Never mind.

B: I’m a fast reader.

S: I was born the day my red-headed grandfather died.

30) How much food/drink do you need a day?
J: Lots.  I’m always hungry.  I get a lot of exercise too, with martial arts practice.

B: *nods* Same.

S: Enough to quiet my belly.  I’ve gone hungry and would rather not relive the experience.

31) Favourite Place?
B: The library, maybe.

J: Somewhere with mountains.  I like mountains a lot.

S: In bed with congenial, enthusiastic company, of course. *grins lazily at both young men* Hm?

32) Any last words?
S: You know I was only joking with you, right?  You lads are too young for me, but it’s cute watching kittens growl. *laughs and dodges out before Jamie and Ben can vent their annoyance on him*

B: Asshole.

J: So, why was he here exactly?  Besides to drive us frickin' nuts?

Hello! Don't wanna bother you, but I'm searching for original characters memes like this one. Could you tell me where you found it (or if you know where I'll be able to find some)? Thanks! ^o^

[hsavinien.livejournal.com]

I got this one from a few other LJ authors whose work I regularly read. Basically, I find memes when someone I know does one. I would suggest looking around for original writing communities, though. There are quite a few on LJ, usually based around a genre, and the administrators often post writing prompts, questions, or suggestions to help out. You can always try Googling that sort of thing too, as there will probably be a few helpful sites that specialize in memes.
