Double Tag

I got tagged by both Ryebrynn at Ryebrynn's Random Ramblings and Bonnie at Bonnie's Blessings.

From Bonnie:

1. If the main villain of your favorite book/movie/TV series showed up on your front doorstep, what would you do? (Explain who it is first...)

Since I get to do this twice, it makes my job a bit easier . . . the first person I'm choosing is Devin, from Dragons in our Midst, Oracles of Fire, and Children of the Bard.

I don't think Devin would care that much to kill me . . . he's a dragon slayer, not a human slayer.

2. Now supposing the heroes opposite this villain showed up just after your exchange. What would you do then?

Billy and Bonnie . . . hmm, well, Billy would probably transluminate Devin and stick him in a candlestone. Then I'd ask if a) I could have a turn with Excalibur, b) that Bonnie would give me a little ride up in the air, and c) that Billy would show me his fire breathing. If a dragon showed up too, that would be awesome :D

3. So... moving on, the heroes defeat the villain (with some help from you, of course- whatever it may be. ;) But the next day, you're just walking along, minding your own business, when you suddenly come across the same villain... who is now lying in the dust severely wounded and unconscious. What do you do?

Wow, he got out of the candlestone already? Billy probably wouldn't be too happy if I killed him (not that I would or anything . . .) so I'd probably get Billy and Bonnie to come back and transluminate him again.

4. Now his minions show up and kidnap both you and him and take you to their universe (or version of your universe, whatever it happens to be.) Your reaction?

So, Palin and a couple of other esquires. And they'd probably take me to the third or seventh circle. If the underground mines, I'd try to find one of the portals so I could escape.

5. Your fantastic heroes have arrived to rescue you- but now you're faced with a choice. The villain, out of gratitude for your earlier help, (assuming you actually did help him when he was wounded) has offered you a chance to travel back to your own universe. However, the heroes warn you not to trust him. The only other way for you to get back home is to travel with the heroes on a long and dangerous journey... and there's no guarantee that you'll survive.
What. Do. You. Do.

Devin? Gratitude? Hah. I'd go with Billy and Bonnie in a heartbeat.

From Ryebrynn:

1. If the main villain of your favorite book/movie/TV series showed up on your front doorstep, what would you do? (Explain who it is first...)

I think I'll choose Farimaal, from the Binding of the Blade, even though he's not the /main/ villain. Close enough, and it would be spoilers to say . . . well, I won't.

If he turned up at my doorstep, and was trying to kill me. I don't think I'd stand much of a chance against him–not that I can't sword-fight, but against Farimaal? No way.

2. Now supposing the heroes opposite this villain showed up just after your exchange. What would you do then?

Aljeron, Valzaan, and Benjiah. They should be able to take care of him. Phew. *wipes sweat from brow*. As above, I'd probably want to get Aljeron to give me a sword-fighting lesson and Benjiah an archery lesson :D

3. So... moving on, the heroes defeat the villain (with some help from you, of course- whatever it may be. ;) But the next day, you're just walking along, minding your own business, when you suddenly come across the same villain... who is now lying in the dust severely wounded and unconscious. What do you do?

Farimaal has too awesome quotes for him to die. I'd probably help him.

4. Now his minions show up and kidnap both you and him and take you to their universe (or version of your universe, whatever it happens to be.) Your reaction?

Going to Kirthanin would be amazing. With Farimaal and Nolthanim? Probably not so much. I'd probably try to escape, using my knowledge of Kirthanin ;)

5. Your fantastic heroes have arrived to rescue you- but now you're faced with a choice. The villain, out of gratitude for your earlier help, (assuming you actually did help him when he was wounded) has offered you a chance to travel back to your own universe. However, the heroes warn you not to trust him. The only other way for you to get back home is to travel with the heroes on a long and dangerous journey... and there's no guarantee that you'll survive.
What. Do. You. Do.

Going with Farimaal would be tempting . . . he does have some awesome quotes, and he doesn't seem to be a crazy killer . . . but I think I'd probably go with Valzaan, Aljeron, and Benjiah.

I'm going to tag:
1. Sarah from Dreams and Dragons
2. Brian McBride from Shattering the Darkness

If either of you two have been tagged, you don't have to do it twice–just ignore my tag if you want to.

  1. Ooh, spiffydoodles! I was tagged with this once on the Underground, but I'll be happy to do it again! (It might not be up for a while, but I'll do it.)

    I loved your answers! I think Devin would actually be one of the better villains to show up on ones' doorstep, at least in terms of how much of a chance of survival you'd have. I need to reread the Binding of the Blade series, though. I read them years ago, but now I can barely remember who anyone is. >.<

  2. Great answers! I went with Binding of the Blade for my tag as well, only I went with Cheimontyr for the villain instead. :)
