Bite me.

Stolen from logmplus1: A meme of the more important things in life. Mostly this is intended for characters you tend to play, but feel free to answer for yourself if you prefer. I give you the 'whisk me away to a life of adventure' meme:

1. Would you prefer to rescue or be rescued?
It is the duty of those who can bring salvation to rescue those who cannot save themselves.

2. Adventure beckons. Do you need forcing, or do you leap into action?
First, could you explain why you are still standing there?

3. The phone rings. An anonymous voice says you have one minute to get out of the house, before they come for you. What do you do?
Grab weapon, leave.

4. If you were attacked right now by ninjapiratezombiegoblins, what would you use to defend yourself?
Fanatics, preferably other peoples.

5. What form of media would best be used to commemorate your adventures (books, movies, improvised street theatre etc)?
Stories are told person to person, across a fire or while travelling. Pinning them down kills them.

6. What songs would be on your soundtrack?
The songs of my people, both hereditary and adopted.

7. The world is in peril from evil scientists. Only a small band of mis-matched heroes can save it. Which side are you on?
The world is still here, which side were you on?

8. When picking a stylish evening outfit, how much does practicality become a consideration?
If it will slow a weapon and hasten my pace, that is enough.

9. When picking a practical adventuring outfit, how much does style become a consideration?
Slow a weapon, hasten my pace. Stop asking the same questions.

10. As sexual tensions simmer during the tango, fortunes are won and lost in the casino and secrets are bought or stolen in the bar, where are you and what are you doing?
Outside the tent, listening to the conversations inside and out.

11. How much of a team do you ideally prefer to work with, or do you usually operate alone?
3 or 4 competent team mates.

12. What sort of future prospects would your love interest or sidekick have? Is it worth them enquiring about the pension fund?
I give them even odds of outliving me.

13. Trapped in the barn and tied to a post. Your captor takes some of the tools down from the wall to sharpen, in preparation for your impending DOOM, leaving you alone for a few moments. What do you do now?
Makes sure they never forget the experience.

14. News of the death of your sidekick/partner/love interest reaches you by letter. How could this have happened?
Presumably I wasn't secretive enough.

15. Revenge is a dish best served how?
In the face. With an axe.

16. An anonymous letter invites you to a clandestine meeting. Do you go?
Perhaps. Depends how much I already knew about the meeting, and how many people I can suround it with.

17. What is the correct number of knives?
One more than you think you need.

18. What would be your perfect date?
A short moonlit walk in the woods.

19. If the perfect date was interrupted by Zombie Apocalypse, how would you react?
With an axe.

20. Did your perfect date already include a Zombie Apocalypse before question 19? In hindsight, would you have changed your answer?
Only once. But the zombie didn't catch our faces.

21. Have you been on many dates which would have been improved by global armageddon?
Each one is one step closer to preventing it.

22. How competently could you disguise yourself?
Not as well as some I know.

23. Is there space for romance in the course of your adventures?
I appear to be surrounded by several.

24. How well do you cope with sudden shifts in genre and pace?
It is where I feel most alive.

25. If you could pick anywhere to have exciting adventures, where would it be?
Philip Island.

Inspired by flannelcat and discussing what constitues my taste in music.
I'd be quite interested to see what others choose for theirs.

"Grab the nearest book. Find the 5th sentence on page 23. Append it to the paragraph below. Append your name to the list below of people who have contributed to the paragraph. Post the result to your LJ."



They also talk of our being guilty of injustice, and their being the victims of an unjustifiable war. Brandy, and Tom got increasingly close-mouthed and sour. Although a certain sense of tripartite society survived down to Christian times, the three classes described in the Eddic poem "Rigdthula" bear little resemblance to Dumezil's three. It is often argued, and still oftener thought, that none but bad men would desire to weaken these salutary beliefs; and there can be nothing wrong,it is thought, in restraining bad men, and prohibiting what only such men would wish to practice. At its nearest point the wall was little more than one league from the City, and that was south-eastward. When he saw Jack Hare jump towards the fire, and the Practical Man brandishing the toasting-fork, Sir Isaac grabbed the strings of gravitational force that bound Jack to his destiny and PULLED--- That's a seventy-four gun privateer, besides. To honour a group of British nobles, treacherously slain at a conference by Hengist's guards, Aurelius decides to erect a great monument near Amesbury. That being so, he did not chortle when he went upstairs. Let stand. This ensures that when the garbage collector runs, it has complete access to the memory in the heap and can perform its tasks safely without the threat of being preempted by another thread. And then you may begin to laugh. The data are stored in Column 1 and renamed "Age." Pull your hand back. I don't remember that any secrets were revealed to me, nor do I remember any avid curiosity on my part to learn something I wasn't supposed to--perhaps I was too young to know what to listen for. You don't remember how awful it is being normal. Highlight the desired state tax table and press Enter. Abraham had now reached a ripe old age, and the LORD had blessed him in every way. This doesn't alter either string, any more than 2+3 alters either 2 or 3. And I will say firmly that it is the author who says, "One does feel," who is really an egoist; and the author who says, "I believe," who is not an egoist. I too have noticed symptoms of the same sort of thing, a slightly put-on manner of affectation, perhaps a sort of aftermath of his fine performance in the School Play. Until the police killed all of her fish by emptying ashtrays into the tanks, Mrs. Bond had raised and sold tropical fish. There was a silence at the other end of the line then a woman's voice said 'You have reached the BT Cellnet answering service'. 'Thank you'. But if it had been thrown into the pool, and held below the water in the darkness by a stronger swimmer... 'And then I'll come home and cry 'Bianca, Bianca', and you'll be gone, and no one will know where you went.' Until that moment, I would have said that the old town was established, settled, mature. The pattern rule target must start with the prefix and end with the suffix (if they exist). If we track him down and point a musket at him, it should convince him that it's time for him to move on, I hope. We landed at one p.m., having left Graciosa at eleven. Although the catagories on a nominal scale are not quantative values, they are occasionally represented by numbers.
