Chain Mail – Atlantis Style!
DISCLAIMER:I own Luke, Alice, Melissa and Deke. Everything you actually recognise is © of Important People who are Not Me.
Remember, each question spans a week.
And the bits in italics (eg: "Tiberius? Are you serious? -- Rodney" "You can't talk, Meredith! -- John") are - obviously - personal notes made on individual's comments/answers. It didn't format quite the way I wanted it to. (Pouts)
Would you like to get married?
Luke: Sure.
Alice: I would, someday.
Melissa: Absolutely, provided the right person asked in the right way.
Melissa, what's the deal with this "right" proposal? -- Rodney
The way I figure it, if someone can genuinely ask me to marry him in the right way (which is, admittedly, kind've ridiculous), then they're prepared for life with me. Otherwise, no soap. -- Mel
Deke: Not really
Rodney: Sure. As long as we similar goals in life.
John: Been there, done that and not really looking to do it again soon.
Ronon: Find the right person, sure.
Teyla: Yes.
Sam: Yes, I'd like to, as long as they can handle the reality my job and its responsibilities.
Radek: No
Evan: Yes. Oh, and Mel? I think I figured out that proposal.
Oh? Lay it on me. -- Mel
Marry me and have my good-looking, science-minded, gun-toting, genius babies. -- Evan
That is just ... PURE WIN!! Oh, and YES!! -- Mel
Good. ... Really? -- Evan
Of course, really. That was FAR better than what I had in mind! So full of manly awesome! -- Mel
Mel ... 1) congratulations. And 2) ... Seriously? THAT'S your idea of a proposal? -- Sam
1) Thanks. And 2) ... Yup! =D -- Mel
How very ... odd. o.O -- Sam
Biggest Ambition?
Luke: To get the ever-lovely Mona Bryce to say "yes" to ONE DATE!
Still no joy? -- Deke
No =sigh= -- Luke
Deke: To get promoted. I have this fear of being the Harry Kim of Atlantis
Alice: To find a way to eliminate the wraith
Melissa: To set a date? =D Um, seriously? I'm not entirely sure. I guess I'd love it if I could help develop an advanced bit of technology that the human race can genuinely lay claim to – not just have reversed engineered it, or hobbled it together with other advanced tech we haven't created.
Oooh. Nice one, Mel. -- Rodney
Thank you, Rodney. -- Mel
Rodney: To win the Nobel Prize. Also, I share Mel's technology dream.
Evan: Right now? To get General O'Neill to agree to let me marry his daughter.
Good luck with that, Major. -- John
Thank you, sir. I think I'll need it. -- Evan
Hmmm ... Sam, a little help here? -- Mel
Sure. Bring me into it! ;p Of course I'll help. XD -- Sam
John: To beat Ronon fairly in a sparring match.
Never gonna happen, Sheppard. -- Ronon
Ronon: To destroy the final wraith
Teyla: To bring my child (children, if all works out) up in a universe free from the wraith.
Sam: To find a way around those damn regs! ... Um, I mean, what Mel & Rodney said.
Radek: To find some Ancient technology that will work!
Describe yourself
Luke: Um, hard-working, driven, protective of my family, I guess - especially of Ali. Our parents died when she was 12 and I was 20, so I pretty much raised her from there.
Deke: Outdoors kinda guy. Love my work, but I'm not overly career-minded. Funny. Occasionally obnoxious.
Rodney: Honestly? I'm an obsessive, selfish hypochondriac who is also arrogant, egotistical and unable to apologise properly.
Rodney, you forgot generous, loving, and an amazing genius! Don't you DARE sell yourself short! -- Ali
Also, you're funny, driven, and deeply caring! Deal with it! -- Mel
Alice: I'm a homebody. I'm too lazy to hold a grudge - at least for long - unless it's really called for. I enjoy my work and my colleagues (hard not to when you work with your best friend!) and I love my family - biological and adopted.
Melissa: A little crazy, I guess. I'm always up for a laugh, but I have a perverted mind so what I see as the funny side isn't usually appropriate. I love the outdoors, and am very protective of the people I love.
John: I'm not a Casanova, or a Kirk, or anything like that, so SHUT UP, RODNEY! I enjoy golf, beer, and helping people.
Of course, you're not. Everyone with half a brain knows that Spock could have out-sexed Kirk if he'd wanted to! =Vulcan eyebrow= Besides, you've definitely got the ears. -- Sam
... That is not the kind of support I was after, Sam. -- John
Sorry, John. =smirk= -- Sam
Sam: Smart, scientifically minded, soldier. Caring, compassionate (at least, I try to be).
Ronon: Warrior
Teyla: Leader, mother-to-be, and protective. I endeavour to remain calm at all times. I am very loyal to those I love.
Radek: In a word: focused. No matter what I do, I'm very single-minded over it.
Evan: I'm an artist - I see the beauty in things that most people can't. I'm also a soldier - I like to be where the action is.
Anything you want to add?
Luke: This was absurdly fun.
Alice: Just think. If it wasn't for this quiz thing, we'd be down two wonderful couples!
Mel & Evan: Speaking of which: Nov 12, this year - write it down and plan to be there, people!
Deke: I think we should encourage more people to do this - it's a really good way to get to know everyone!
Rodney: I'm just grateful to Melissa for agreeing to let us all answer it, because if she hadn't, I'd still be trying to work up the nerve to ask Alice out!
John: No, not really.
Ronon: No. Yes. You people are weirder than you look.
Teyla: Ronon! =shakes head= I am grateful to have found such wonderful friends as all of you.
Radek: No.
Sam: Um, yeah - the SGC just passed me on a letter from the President, and another one from Gen. O'Neill. Mel, GUESS WHAT!? The President agreed to make the exception!
=weakly= You're joking! AWESOME!! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! -- Mel
Wanna fill me in, Sam? Mel's dancing in an absolutely terrifying manner all over our lab! -- Ali
=grin= March 18, next year, I will become Mrs Jack O'Neill. -- Sam
=faint= -- Ali
Congratulations!! -- Evan, Mel, Ali; Rodney; Luke; Deke; John; Ronon; Teyla & Radek
Just an epilogue to come! ... And to be honest, I don't know when that will be, but it will eventually deal with all the loose ends that I've created. Then maybe - just maybe - I can write a decent fanfic out of all this question and answer lark!
