The Universe is in peril unless Two, Twelve and Fourteen can cook a three-course meal. Do they succeed, and if so what do they make?
Tenth, Tiffany and Benny. This one spawned an actual ficlet.
"Well, that's the omelette ready," said the Doctor, giving it a final toss, "I didn't expect it to take quite so long..."
"Sorry," said Tiffany, "But you can't hurry cheesemaking."
"There was no need to make the cheese, we could have bought some cheese."
Tiffany frowned. "Why would anyone with access to a dairy want to buy cheese? Unless it was a smoked cheese and you didn't have a smokehouse. Or it was a particularly unusual cheese, like chhardik. It's made from bear's milk."
"Anyway," said the Doctor, "My omelette's ready, your cheeseboard's ready (note to self: don't try the chhardik), now we just need to see how Benny's getting on with the trifle."
***
"Ah," said Benny, unsteadily, "Well, I assembled the ingredients, and then I mentally prepared myself for the task ahead. And then once I'd finished doing that, I seemed to have run out of cooking sherry..."
"Oh, Benny..." said the Doctor.
"I'm sure I didn't drink all of it!" she protested, "Although I did think I saw a small army of little blue men disappearing with it, so maybe I had more than I thought..."
Thirteen has something that Ten and Seven both need. Who ends up with it, and how?
Venkman, Melchett and Death.
Death opts for the direct approach of simply asking. This does not go according to plan - when you're a Ghostbuster and a skeleton approaches you, you tend to go on instinct. The proton-beam has no effect, of course, but Death takes affront and leaves to consider his next move.
Melchett opts for the even more direct approach of shouting a lot. Peter deftly responds to the General's bellowed orders with barbs that Melchy remains completely oblivious to, before finally handing the item over just to get the weirdo out of Ghostbusters HQ. (It also occurs to him that this means the skeleton guy will go after this pompous windbag next time.)
It will, of course, turn out to be something Egon and Ray needed to prevent the End of the World.
Frommoustachios
Nine and Six run into each other while on vacation. Where are they, and what made them strike up a conversation?
Kryten and Luke Smith.
Some exotic tourist spot. It may not be exactly either of their style, but that's rather the point.
Because what makes them strike up a conversation, of course, is that neither of them especially wants to be on holiday. Kryten is just tagging along with the Dwarfers and would rather be cleaning something, and Luke was pressurised into taking a break from his studies by Clyde and Rani. They spend a happy hour or so chatting about time-space distortions they have known while everyone else gets bored.
Frompedanther
Fifteen, Eleven, and One meet a primitive tribe in some remote location. Which of them is mistaken for a god (and why?), which saves them all after the tribe discovers their mistake, and which was accidentally responsible for said discovery?
Lancelot, Duckula and Rincewind.
Rincewind and Duckula are both very good at accidentally stumbling into bizarre and dangerous situations, and exactly whose fault this one was is the subject of arguments whenever they meet afterwards.
It's Duckula who gets mistaken for a god, because of his vampric powers and the fact he's a talking duck. He naturally takes full advantage of this despite both the others warning that this can't end well. (Lancelot because he thinks such blasphemy will be punished, and Rincewind because he just works on the general principle that nothing ever ends well). Once they're proved right, it's Lancelot, of course, who heroically saves everyone.
Mathematics would suggest that Eight is twice as good as Four, and as good as Three and Five together. How violently would these characters disagree with these propositions?
Blue Beetle, Gonzo the Great, Jim Moriarty and Jamie McCrimmon.
Jaime himself would be modest enough to demur, or at least ask what standard it's being measured on. Gonzo would concede that BB gets into more dangerous situations than him (which is surely the only measure of greatness), and resolve to try even harder in future. Moriarty would be pretend to be amused, but secretly plan a convoluted method of killing Jaime and whoever made the suggestion, preferably so it looked like one killed the other and then committed suicide. And Jamie misunderstands completely, and thinks the idea is that he should work with Moriarty. Which he wouldn't do, especially against someone else called Jamie. And that gets Jaime annoyed...
pedanther also suggested the three example questions:
One, nine, and fifteen are chosen by a prophecy to save the world from four. Do they succeed?
Rincewind, Luke Smith and Lancelot versus Gonzo the Great.
In addition to their other abilities, two of the characters oposing Gonzo have special God-given (or in Rincewind's case Goddess-given) qualities which mean they can't really lose.
The most likely scenario is that Rincewind's pessimism, Lancelot's depression and Luke's "I Just Want To Be Normal" tendencies combine to defeat Gonzo through sheer angst, leaving him sadly singing "I'm Going To Go Back There Someday" to himself.
Under what circumstances might five and fourteen fall in love?
Jamie and Benny.
I suspect possibly any circumstances in which they meet, at least for a while. (They'd each be the other's Boy/Girl Of The Week, depending on if it happened in a New Adventure or a Missing Adventure.)
Which character on the list would you most want on your side in a zombie invasion?
Depends on the nature of the zombies. If proton-packs work, Peter Venkman. If they're life-force "should" have moved on, Death. Otherwise, probably Rincewind, since I suspect his favoured course of action would be the wisest one.
Fromrhiannon_s:
3 and 12 have a baby together, which traits does it take from each parent?
Jim Moriarty and Tiffany Aching
Well, obviously the baby would be frighteningly intelligent, that coming from both parents. Unfortunately, she also inherits Jim's complete barkingness, which means she doesn't have Tiff's ability to see what's really there. She does, however, have a talent for making cheese. Deadly, untraceable cheese.
7 and 5 get drunk together, do they have a laugh or start a fight?
Death and Jamie
Jamie tries to have a laugh. Unfortunately, when Death decides to get drunk, he's a depressive drunk (see Soul Music). In the end the constant maudlin complaining about knowing the future starts getting to Jamie and he throws a punch. He breaks a couple of fingers, and Death doesn't even notice.
6 and 3 used to date, how did they break up?
Kryten and Moriarty
Oh, it was a very messy situation. In fact, the messiness was the situation: Kryten didn't have a problem with Jim's hobby as such (his morality chip was on the blink again), but the way he left bodies lying around the place for someone else to clean up...
15 used to be a fanboy/girl of 9 why did they stop?
Lancelot and Luke Smith. Another ficlet:
SPACE ARC:
"I still can't believe Arthur chose the clone over you," said Lancelot, "Everyone knows you're the real Guenevere!"
"Everyone except Arthur, apparently," Guenevere replied, "And the clone, of course."
"I'm not sure she doesn't. I think she knows exactly what she is, and she's just manipulating him."
"I know why you think that. I'm tempted to as well; it'd be so simple if she was a clear-cut villain. But you want to be careful."
"What do you mean?" asked Lancelot.
"I saw how uncomfortable you were around Blodeuedd when she and her husband visited Dolorous Gard. I'm worried you're developing a prejudice against all artificially created people."
FLASH CUT TO CONTEMPORARY ARC:
With another day of law school over, Lancelot and Guenevere settled down to watch The Sarah-Jane Adventures.
"I don't know why," said Lancelot, "But I've really gone off the character of Luke this year."
10 buys a new pet, what is it?
General Melchett
Speckled Jim Jr, a lovely, plump, speckledy pigeon. Blackadder shoots that one as well.
The characters were:
1. Rincewind (Discworld)
2. Tenth Doctor (Doctor Who)
3. Jim Moriarty (Sherlock)
4. Gonzo the Great (The Muppet Show)
5. Jamie McCrimmon (Doctor Who)
6. Kryten (Red Dwarf)

10. General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett (Blackadder Goes Forth)
