So I think instead of just making a bunch of meme-journals, I'll have this single journal--but keep updating it with a new meme whenever I find one I actually want to do.

DIRECTIONS
Choose 8 of your OCs, Cannon characters, or (with permission) your friends OCs and answer the following questions!OCs being used:
AND
(Amarok! Who shall --eventually-- be my 8th edition to the group! RIP me...)
1. 1 and 3 are set up on a blind date, courtesy of 4. Why did 4 set up the date? Where do 1 and 3 go? What happens?
So!!!! Ronelle(4) would have met Jerikoh(3) at the Vektren border. They PROBABLY would have gotten off on the wrong paw, and MIGHT have even gotten into a scrap. After all, Jerikoh is a confrontational douche, and Ronni doesn't like being told what to do. ANYWAY, their rough-and-tumble would have ended in a stalemate, both sides stopping the assault out of mutual respect for each other. Mutual respect blooms into friendship, and there you have that connection! Baely(1) would have encountered her during his time in Aryn (he's currently helping out with that whole blutwald situation), and maybe he was searching the area for any signs of his birthpack. BUT instead of finding a Blutwald wolf, he runs into Ronni! Ronni would have shared whatever information she knew with him, and would have stuck around to try and get information out of the big brute in return. This would also end in a wary, but mutual friendship between the two. Ronelle is a mischievous trickster by nature, so she would have probably wanted to mess with her two new friends. She'd strike up a conversation about love with Jerikoh, teasing him about how he's probably doomed to be alone because he's too incompetent to woe a lady. Jerikoh, not one to take such blows to his pride, would contradict her and say that he's perfectly capable of wooing a female if he wanted to. Ronni tells him that he can put his confidence to the test, as she happens to have just the wolf she could set him up with that evening! He stubbornly agrees before storming off, and Ronni makes her way to Aryn to collect the second party: Baely. She would have told him that there is a wolf who might have information about Blutwald, and they've agreed to meet with him this weekend to share all that they know. The two, although for very different intentions, meet in the place Ronelle arranged. Jerikoh arrives on the scene first, looking devilishly handsome and sporting some flirtatious body language. He even decorates the clearing to aid in the mood and lightening (very determined to win this bet)..., Baely walks in on his preparations, but awkwardly hesitates at the edge of the clearing. He is not entirely sure how to interpret the scene before him. Jerikoh, thinking its the lady love entering the scene, whirls around and flashes Baely his best "fuck me eyes". Baely takes one look at the scene, furrows his brow, and leaves. Without a word. And Jerikoh just sits there in shock, looking rather disheveled.
2. 5 and 6 decide to spend the day at the city zoo! What happens?
Alright! So this one is actually pretty interesting-- We need some history first, though:
Rhys(6) was born in Highvalley, his mother being steward to Gwyndolyn's(5) mother. When Gwyndolyn was a juvenile, Rhys was born illegitimately, and his mother was released from her duties and shunned by Gwyn's family. Gwyn's mother was furious, feeling as though her steward had brought dishonor on her family (by association) for fornicating with a rogue and having his bastard. Had things been different and Rhys had been born legitimate and remained in HV, Rhys might have been Gwyndolyn's steward. Gwyndolyn was willing to have him regardless, but her mother was adamantly against it--the future queen of Highvalley should not be served by a bastard, she had said.
SO let's look at this as an AU where they would have been steward and Lady:
Gwyndolyn would have little desire to go to the zoo herself--she's been there a THOUSAND times as a child, after all. BUT, she would have noticed her steward's longing glances in the zoo's direction as they passed by it on their routes. She could see the curiosity dancing in Rhys' eyes as he tried to catch a glimpse of what lay beyond the fences. Being lower-class, Rhys and his mother would have never been able to afford a trip to the zoo. But Gwyndolyn is a high born lady, with a wealthy family, and would have demanded they go because she was feeling nostalgic (but she really just wanted to do something nice for him--though maybe without him knowing it, ahah). He'd escort her to the zoo, able to gain entry because a highblood can't possibly go anywhere without her servant, right? Together, they'd see all the sights and Gwyn would fondly watch his excitement and wonder towards all the different animals. She'd tell him about each one, explaining their anatomy and any other facts she would have accumulated during her studies. Of course she'd boss him around the whole time and act really uppity, but Rhys would not have minded because of how happy and content he was to just be there.
3. 4 decides to take 5, 7, and 8 drinking! What goes on?
I love how Ronelle is the instigator (so far) in these scenarios x,D But anyway. So Ronelle is apparently taking Gwyn, Eztli, and Amarok drinking--BAHAHA. First of all, Gwyn would be in an absolutely foul mood--she hates Ronelle with a passion, Eztli would be creeping her out the entire time, and Amarok would probably be seen as a baseborn rogue as well. Ronni would probably be giving Eztli (the youngest of the gang) shots, telling him it was something else. He is blind after all! Gwyndolyn would be dragged along [begrudgingly]. She'd probably be drinking in a vain attempt to forget this night ever happened HAHA. Amarok would probably be the baby sitter and/or designated driver. I can see Ronni getting tipsy, starting a bar fight with a guy trying to hit on Gwyn. Amarok would have to break it up, and then usher all of them out of the bar to bring them back home before anything else goes wrong.
4. 8 locks up 1 and 2 in a closet. What happens? How do they get out?
So I don't really know why Amarok would lock his brother, Baely, in a closet with Kotori--but whatever. Baely would be really annoyed and anxious. I can't imagine that he enjoys cramped spaces, and he would enjoy them even less when he was confined with a stranger. Kotori, however, is as chill and sweet-tempered as usual. He'd probably take Baely on a philosophical journey, one that would continue until Amarok gets concerned for how long its taking and the lack of effort to escape, opens the door and lets them out. He's probably ask them what they were doing, but by then, Kotori would have already lead Baely into a higher enlightenment HAHA.
5. 7 has kidnapped 2 and sent 4 a ransom note! What did the note say? What is 4's reaction?
Eztli would be the type to kidnap the Eir of Vale--let's be real. But I do not think it makes sense that he would send the ransom note to Ronelle--though she is [incidentally] Kotori's cousin (or something), but not that either of them are aware of that! Anyway--the note would have likely been meant for the Astir of Vale. Or maybe one of the betas. BUT let's just say that it fell into Ronni's paws by mistake. While Ronni likes to think she'll keep out of affairs that do not concern her, she's far too protagonistic to just stand by and let someone be held hostage. She'd go after Eztli and try to rescue Kotori herself! It would be interesting if she had help though--maybe her and Loki could team up. Or she could enlist the help of Cody and Vai.
6. 1 throws a birthday, but they can only invite four people. Who do they choose and why?
Baely is shit at social functions, which makes this hilarious. I feel like he would want to do something special for Temperance on her birthday. He'd want to surprise her, but he wouldn't really know what to do because he's socially inept. So he would ask Embla to help him plan it, making her his first invite. Then I suspect he would invite Rutnik, who is one of his best friends, and he would assume Temperance was okay with him since they rescued Keme together. And he's the Thane, so there's that. He would also invite Loki for of the same reason...and because I imagine he would want to have Loki around since, in his own strange way, being close to Loki is a means of keeping Keme close. He'd also think that Temperance would be interested on seeing him again--during happier times. The fourth would probably have to be one of Temperance's friends/preference. I'm not really sure WHO--my instincts tell me Ludko or Atlas, but I'm not really sure on Temperance's relationship with either. I think Atlas would be the best option for the sake of drama! I have the impression that he and Temperance are pretty tight, and so Baely would think to invite him, BUT he and Atlas more or less hate each other. There was a really early encounter where Atlas mistook Baely for a wolf he knew in his past, and their was a lot of aggression/tension/negativity. So now Baely doesn't particularly care for him, and feels slightly butt hurt over the entire thing. But he would extend an invite if he thought he was important to Temperance, hoping that they could perhaps put their grievances aside for her.
7. Somehow, 3, 4, and 6 end up on Jeopardy! What happens? Who wins the game?
Well. Jerikoh and Ronni would be having a very heated and competitive death match on this game show. Rhys is significantly less intelligent than they are, but I feel like he would be the only one having fun. He might have even won a few rounds while his two competitors were too busy feuding--haha. But I do think Ronelle would have ultimately won the game.
8. Pop quiz! This is an all-round subject test (everything is covered!). Who has the best score? The worst?
Baely would win. Rhys would loose--miserably.
9.If 3 could spend a day with any living person, who would it be?
Shenandoah or Hellion if he was not busy (off with his lady love...heheh).
10. 1, 3,4, and 7 go through a time machine. Where do they end up? What do they do? Do they alter time in anyway?
So I feel like Ronelle would have embarked on this wobbly-wobbly-timey-whimy adventure to go back in history and stop her birth pack from being destroyed. Gwyndolyn and Baely would have gotten wrapped up in her escapade by pure accident. Gwyn would probably be consumed with her need for revenge, and try and travel back in time to prevent her father's death. She'd selfishly try and hijack the time machine from Ronni, causing them to ultimately be spiraled into a completely random time period that neither of them wanted. Baely would be the voice of reason the entire time, trying to keep the piece but failing miserably. What the gang did not know, however, was that they had a hitchhiker. Eztli would have snuck on board and is now wreaking havoc and bringing chaos to the time lines. The entire plot of this AU fan fic extravaganza would be Ronni, Gwyn, and Baely working together despite their difference in order to undo the damage Eztli has done to the timeline and bring them all back to the present.
11. Whee! Now, who doesn't love crack pairings? Give us four different crack pairings using the 8 people you choose for this meme! each person can only be used once, so spread the love!
Baely and Jerikoh--Ronni's blind date ends up being a success.
Gwyndolyn and Ronelle--she was to be the future alpha of Taino, after all.
Eztli and Rhys--Really dysfunctional and damaging relationship where Rhys manages to be the light in Eztli's darkness, but only to his own peril and truama.
Amarok and Kotori--The old, wise gays who relish in each other's company and enjoy the stories of their youths spent traveling the domain.
12. Taco time! Everybody, quick! Take a taco! But wait! There are only 7 tacos! Someone will have to miss out on a taco! What happens?
Rhys would be the one who missed out on a taco--he's too submissive and accommodating to assert himself.
13. 1, 5, and 6 go to a gelato (Italian ice cream) shop! What's going on?
Revisiting the previous AU where Rhys is Gwyn's steward:
Gwyn has Rhys accompany her to the gelato shop, and even permits him to have one himself. Baely is there too--but they are all out of a flavor that both Gwyn and Temperance want (Baely wouldn't get a gelato for himself without getting one for her!) Gwyn and Baely have a Blackfridayatwallmart incident while trying to procure the icecream. Meanwhile, Rhys hides under the table and cowers. In the end, the police come and escort both parties off the perimises. Gwyn uses her connections to have Baely thrown in jail, and Temperance has to pay his bail--I think Baely having to awkwardly explain that he was thrown into jail over icecream would make for some hilarious dialogue.
14. Oh noes!!! 2 comes up from no where with a weapon! What weapon does he/she have and what is he/she demanding from the group?
The only weapon Kotori would have is his words and wit. He'd probably give them a long-winded speech about how they all are assholes and need to grow up. And he'd be so eloquent with his wording, that they'd all have to agree and contemplate their lives for a hot minute.
15. So, now that that's over... why don't you tell us who everyone has a crush on? Does their crush know and/or return these feelings?
Baely has a crush on Temperance. He doesn't really know it himself yet, or at least I don't think he does. At the very least, he hasn't had that moment of realization quite yet. He has feelings, he is aware of them, but he hasn't worked them out on his own yet. I don't thin she knows either. As far if she returns the feelings, we shall have to wait and see...
Kotori doesn't have a crush on anyone, and I doubt he ever will? He's pretty aromantic, to be honest. I dunno, maybe he's too enlightened to ever find love, and that's honestly okay.
Jerikoh isnt the type to 'crush', but I am getting vibes that he is attracted to Isla. I also feel like Jerikoh has a strong Attatchment to Shen--but like I wouldn't say it's romantic in nature (yet?). He cares about her a lot. More than he's capable of showing or expressing. He craves her company and wants to help her get back on her feet and see her rise to her potential. But it's also to be noted that Jerikoh is not the kind of character to contemplate finding love or starting a family or anything that's emotional. He's consumed with his ambitions.
Ronni has the biggest anime-girl-crush on Shiloh. Let's be real. I don't think Shiloh knows, and I doubt she reciprocates. But yeah. Ronelle is pretty obsessed with her, methinks.
Gwyndolyn does not currently have a crush. She's low-key attracted to Mohawk, but unlikely to ever act on that. She's still pining over Klaus, but in the brooding why-he-leave-me sort of way.
Rhys doesn't have any crushes yet OvO
Eztli doesn't either
As for Amarok, well, who knows...
16. 2 and 3 decide to play some board games. What do they play? How does the game turn out?
Kotori would have wrangled Jerikoh in for a game of like Chinese checkers or something. Or maybe like some equivilant to Pisho in AtLA? Jerikoh would insist on playing because he's competitive and prideful, and doesn't want to loose. And Kotori just loves a good game and the sport of it--and spending time with a stranger. Kotori, of course, would win. And keep conning ambitious Jerikoh into playing another round.
17. While everyone is at 1's house, the weather turns from a bright sunny day into a horrible thunderstorm! Everyone decides to stay, and are going to past the time playing Uno. How does the game go? Who is the winner?
Just the mental image of Baely throwing a house party with actual guests and trying to entertain, only to have a thunderstorm thwart his plans is hilarious. It's so perfect too. WELL. I feel like the game would go south really fast--mostly because Gwyn, Ronni, and Jerikoh would be too busy trying to destroy one another the entire time. Like going out of their way to sabotage the other. I feel like they would catch Eztli cheating (probably keeping cards under the table or in his sleeves), and a brawl would break out and they would be trashing poor Baely's house. Kotori would just give up and read a book or something. Amarok would be teasing his little brother about how awful it is, and how his house is being trashed. Rhys would be the only one having fun, and he would probably win the game just because of the good karma he has accumulated.
18. How would 4 react if they woke up on a deserted island? Would they survive?
Ronni is a survivor and wouldn't have any issues. She'd feel right at home not he island, but would want to be rescued because she was lonely and missed contact with others after awhile.
19. Prom time! Everybody is going to prom (no exceptions!) What does everyone wear? Who's going with who? Prom King, Queen, Prince, and Princess?
I feel like Baely would be wearing very average attire. Nothing fancy or flashy, and it would probably be a rental. He also would look tacky since I doubt he'd know how to coordinate his colors. Kotori on the other hand would be to the 9s; He wouldn't be wearing anything flashy, but what he had would all look absolutely stunning together. He'd get the most compliments of the night. Jerikoh would look like that goth/scene kid who was forced into going to prom by his mother. Though in this case, it would have been Hekate LOL or Hellion who forced him into it. Ronni would be wearing a vest and a swavvy tie--looking very suave. Gwyndolyn would be wearing a very extravagant and expensive dress. It would be one of the big brands, and she'd be covered in jewels. Rhys would be wearing a nice, cute suit, though I feel like it would be a little loose-fitting as it would have been a hand-me-down from Akela. Eztli would be wearing a very strange outfit--something that drew attention and was very bizarre. Like something akin to what you see in the Hunger Games movies LOL. Amarok would be wearing a very mafia-esq get-up. Very slick and trim. Gwyndolyn would have been prom queen, obviously. I feel like prom king would have been Baely by anonymous vote (probably instigated by Amarok) and much to his dismay/embarrassment. Ronni would have gotten prince, and would be very smug about it. There would be no princess, as Gwyn would have taken that title for herself as well.
20. If everyone could have one wish, what would each person wish for?
Baely would wish to make a name for himself--to be someone.
Kotori would wish to see his loved ones again--like his family, Evan, or Saurugol.
Jerikoh would wish for greatness/power/recognition.
Ronni would wish her birth pack back
Gwyn would wish for another chance at her youth--to be with her father and to do things differently with Klaus, Sveta, and perhaps even her mother.
Rhys would wish for everyone (especially Nadia and Akela) to be happy.
Eztli would wish to transcend his mortal body and take his places at the Mother's side, able to do her good works without the burden of a broken and feeble body.
Amarok would wish to find happiness and to enjoy remainder of his life in peace at Nita's side. That would be enough.
21. Does 6 have any secrets? What are they?
Rhys doesn't really have secrets. I mean, I guess he secretly wants to meet his dad and ask why he abandoned his mom. He wants him to know how much destruction and grief he brought onto her and to know if he cared for her at all.
22. 7 and 8 wind up in jail. How did this happen? What is their sentence? Do they attempt a jail break?
Eztli would have been scheming and causing chaos, and Amarok would have tried to stop him. But in the process, they'd both end up getting caught and thrown in jail, Amarok being mistaken for an accomplice. Vektren would come to break Eztli out of jail (I hope), and Amarok would end up escaping in the midst of it all.
23. 2 and 5 go to a carnival. What do they do?
Kotori would probably bore Gwyndolyn to death the entire time, honestly. He's too philosophical and chatty for her taste, though his high rank would make her obligated to stick around. She'd probably be with him for some sort of ValexHighvalley diplomatic meeting. I think they would ride rides and play games, and while Kotori would enjoy himself, Gwyndolyn would have found it all very dull...and gross. Carnivals are not her style.
24. 1 suggested that everyone go on a camping trip together! Everyone agrees, and they soon set out. Where do they go camping? What happens? Does it end well or in disaster?
Baely never really had good ideas, I suppose... But yeah. I kinda want them to go camping at one of the beach/sea-front areas in the Domain. They could build a campfire and tell scary stories--though I feel like Gwyn and Ronni would get into a fight and ruin the trip for everyone.
25. Last Question! What is everyone doing right now?
Baely is in Aryn, trying to offer his aid and experience/intel with their Blutwald predicament.
Kotori is just chilling in Vale, performing his duties as Eir and tending to his garden.
Jerikoh is being kept busy with his duties as Count, a slave to his ambition.
Ronni is hanging out with Tsuii and Tollek, getting to know their following and slowly becoming indoctrined into Imala.
Gwyndolyn is currently being pestered by her cousin and high-prince, Vladimir.
Rhys has been following Nadia around, doing the only thing he knows how to do--steward.
Eztli is acting as Ravka's live test subject.
Amarok is currently heading for the Domain with his best friend and companion, Nita.
1, 3, 4, and 8 each get to tag one person to do this meme! who do they tag?
