Let's go get lost, let's go get lost...

1. Happy Birthday, fishkro! Hope you have a good one. ♥

2. Since gmail was down earlier this afternoon, rendering me incapable of doing anything productive (let's pretend I ever do anything productive to begin with), I took a meme from mtranc3 because it looked like an entertaining way to while away the hours!

You’ve somehow acquired a magical dimension-splicing conversion van and are planning an epic cross-country road trip with your friends and fandom. First, pick ten travel buddies from anywhere -- real life, fiction, OCs, celebrities, whatever. Then answer these questions to see how cracktastic your adventure turns out to be.

I suppose I could have picked ten random characters-slash-people, but to be honest, whenever I see a meme like this the first thing that runs through my head is, "REBORNIZE THAT SHIT." So. XD

1. Gokudera
2. Yamamoto
3. Tsuna
4. Shouichi
5. Squalo
6. Haru
7. Byakuran
8. Mukuro
9. Reborn
10. Kikyo


1. The GPS has an obnoxious voice. What does 9 (Reborn) name it, and is 7 (Byakuran) bothered by it?

Reborn names it Charlotte, and not only is Byakuran not bothered by it, but he probably gets more of a kick out of it than anyone seeing as he's a sadistic jerk who gets off on other people's misery. He thinks the whole thing is hilarious.

2. 1, 4, 6 and 8 (Gokudera, Shouichi, Haru and Mukuro) are all forced to share the cramped back row of seats. How do they arrange themselves?

After a great deal of bitching, Gokudera finally picks the right-hand-side (BECAUSE HE'S THE RIGHT HAND, GET IT) window seat, and places Haru between himself and Shouichi because he doesn't want her sitting next to Mukuro. :| Haru and Shou reluctantly agree to this arrangement, and Mukuro doesn't get a say because he arrives late to the party AS ALWAYS. I should have used a white rabbit reference for his tag.

3. 5 and 10 (Squalo and Kikyo) are sitting next to each other. Who gets the window seat?

...omg it's Squalo and Kikyo. Well, I can't rightly say who ends up with the window seat, because frankly the battle that ensues over its claim is so epic that by the time it reaches its conclusion, no one even remembers what the original argument was about. But Squalo totally wins, so if they ever did remember, the seat would be his.

4. 3 and 4 (Tsuna and Shouichi) are invading one another’s personal space. Who gets annoyed first, and how do they deal with it?

Tsuna gets annoyed first, but because he has no spine all he can do is sit there meekly and put up with it. Shouichi wasn't even doing it on purpose, either; he just fell asleep (presumably lulled to dreamland by Charlotte's hypnotic direction-giving) and did that thing where his head flopped onto the nearest available shoulder. And for some reason it wasn't Mukuro's or Haru's despite the fact that a previous question established his position in between them. Because Tsuna is just that unlucky. POOR TSUNA.

5. What habit does 8 (Mukuro) have that might get on 2’s (Yamamoto's) nerves?

Directing numerous predatory smiles in Tsuna's general direction, then looking innocent as a puppy in snow whenever someone turns a questioning glance his way. And even that doesn't so much annoy Yama as put him slightly on guard. I think it's probably close to impossible for anyone to actually get on Yamamoto's nerves. Or at least, not when they have to vie with Byakuran and Kikyo for negative attention.

6. Who’s more likely to start up a round of "99 Bottles," 1 or 7 (Gokudera or Byakuran)?

Gokudera is the least likely person to start a round of 99 Bottles ever. In fact, I think the likelihood of his doing so is actually in the negatives. On the other hand, I cannot think of any action more dickish than starting up a round of this song while crammed into a car with nine other people who all hate you. And if anyone possibly could be JUST THAT DICKISH, it would be Byakuran. And if he weren't riding in the same car as an armed and dangerous Reborn, I think he would have done this dastardly thing already.

7. Where is number 7 (Byakuran)?

He is in all ten positions SIMULTANEOUSLY!1 and is using the knowledge gained from the experience of sitting in each of those seats to further his aims of conquering the world and RULING YOU ALL. So basically it depends on which universe you're in. The only thing I'm sure of is that he's not driving, because Reborn is the one doing that.

8. You stop at a gas station and 5 and 3 (Squalo and Tsuna) make a snack-and-supply run. What do they bring back?

Tsuna politely asks each individual what he or she would like and then sets off to get said things. Squalo comes with to get an icee, but can't get the machine to work right. When the convenience store guy comes to help him, Squalo loses his patience (he had patience?!) and whallops him in the head with his paper cup so hard that Chuck Norris would call it overkill. The guy goes down, Tsuna freaks out, and the both of them wind up returning to the car in a comedic rush, Squalo still upset over his lack of an icee, and Tsuna panicking and mentally picturing them all going to jail for murdering a gas station employee.

Which is to say, they don't bring back anything.

9. 6 and 8 (Haru and Mukuro) brought CDs. What’s on their playlist?

Haru brought J-pop and stuff. Mukuro brought ABBA, because Byakuran's not the only one who's just a little bit dickish.

10. Who’s the more notorious backseat driver, 2 or 10 (Yamamoto or Kikyo)?

Kikyo. Even though Reborn is driving, the most that even the worst of his crazy mafia driving antics can coax from someone as worry-free as Yama is the occasional, "Ha ha, don't you think we're going a little fast? --Whoa, that was a close one! I bet she didn't see that coming!" and other such nonsense. Kikyo, meanwhile, is one of those arrogant smug "I'm always right and let me explain to you why" types, and yaps on and on about how Byakuran-sama would drive so much better and Reborn sucks and you're all fools. For about five minutes until Reborn gets annoyed and shoots him.

So in the end, this road trip has a happy ending. ♥
