Second Dose Up

[tiggymalvern]

And since the cat work is slow today, here's round two. See last post for the Rules.

This spam via the brain of solo____, who assigned me Sheldon Jeffrey Sands, Sakurazuka Seishirou and Elim Garak. Which leads me to suspect she can't possibly be wishing me a long and happy life....



Marry Seishirou.



He's intelligent, cultured, rich, and can be thoroughly charming when he decides to be. I'm unlikely to be appearing on anybody's list as a target for a political assassination, so I'd probably be safe (unless business was slow and he had to feed the Tree). Of course, he's also gay, so I'd be arranging my sex life elsewhere, which would probably work out fine since he'd be off obsessing over Subaru.


Throw Sands off a cliff.



Thoroughly amoral and entirely selfish - not touching him, no way, no how. He wouldn't even be any fun for a quick shag, since the only person he'd have any interest in getting off would be himself. Of course, that leaves me wondering quite how I'm supposed to push a paranoid ex-CIA agent off a cliff without him suspecting - but since all my candidates this round are government-sponsored killers, changing my choice wouldn't help with that problem....


So, by a process of elimation and default, I guess I'm shagging Garak.



Not usually my first choice, but he's intelligent and refined and tasteful, and sex with an alien would at the very least be educational. Plus, he's not a sociopath, which in this company is a definite bonus. I guess on that grounds alone, I should have married him. But no, just no.

Tokyo Babylon and X/1999, yes. I'm guessing the number of people who can place all three characters from this particular round are going to be small!

Eeeek, married to Seishirou. You'd probably walk around constantly dazed with gaps in your memory. eeeeek.

Maybe it'll help getting Sands down a cliff if you wait for the sunglasses-wearing version?

Maybe little me wouldn't be worth the effort, or the drain on the Tree ::prays:: But you see now how solo____ utterly kicks your arse at evil, when Seishirou seems like the *good* choice!

Maybe it'll help getting Sands down a cliff if you wait for the sunglasses-wearing version?

Sadly, I don't think that would help at all. Then he just gets more paranoid.

I know! I suck at evil. *sulks* I'll go brush my fluffybunny fur.

Wow, this I did not expect. Marrying Seishirou, huh? I guess you're right, he could be perfectly fine to live with around as long as he doesn't wake up one morning and think 'hm, wonder what would happen if I slit her throat while she's lying on the pillow like that. Would it spray as far as the curtains? Would that match the nice little flower pattern? Intrigued now...'.

I don't really know Garak well enough (read: I didn't know him at all until picking up stuff from comments in the last day) to know whether he's likely to be a good shag or even marriage material (I apologize for him not being a sociopath, I'd sort of thought he might be, which is why I offered him up in this company). I agree on Sands. Bye bye Sands, omg.

Yeah, Sands had to go, that was the first choice right off the bat. Sands doesn't even bother to keep a civilised veneer. Which did rather stick me with choosing between the other two!

With Garak, it's entirely cultural. He was raised in a society steeped in the idea that the end justifies any means, and that the continuation of the state is far more important than any individual, that self-sacrifice for the state is the most noble ideal. His father was head of the Intelligence services, and Garak was raised to follow after him.

Garak's capable of a lot, but he didn't *quite* cut it. He does have bonds with other people, and limits he can't cross - you just have to look a long way to find them. Which is why he's one of the most intriguing characters in DS9, because you're never quite sure what he'll *actually* do.

That sounds very interesting indeed. So much so that if my life wasn't way too busy already, I might check out DS9 just for that. But... alas, it is way too busy and this ain't gonna happen. Maybe when I'm retired. :-)
