Why is it that the majority of my bad decisions come after midnight?

And why do they always involve food?

From

vance_prime:

So let's talk about Machine of Death. The premise is simple: There is a machine which, given a blood sample, will dispense a card on which is printed that person's cause of death, in the form of a single word or short phrase. It doesn't tell you where or when you will die, just how. The cause of death is frequently ambiguous, oblique, or even deliberately misleading; "OLD AGE," for example, may mean exactly that, or it may mean that you will be killed by a senior citizen. The only consistent factor is that the machine is never wrong.

So, what does your pup's card say? I realize a lot of pups don't have a canon death scene (yet), so feel free to get speculative.

John Marston gets CHOKING.

Voodoo gets DECELERATION.

And Connor gets PERFORATION.

I have this headcanon that cop!Mako'll probably bite it when he's in his fifties in the line of duty, but I can't think of anything particularly witty.

In which case the card would probably say DUTY.

Raven: NO

X-23: DEFENSE

Dean Winchester: HELL

Michael the Archangel: REWRITTEN

Galadan: VENGEANCE

Wonder Woman: WAR

Sam Tyler: CHOICE

Nynaeve al'Meara: CHAIR

'NO' is good.

I think Coyote might get 'OUT OF CHEESE ERROR REDO FROM START'

Too many deaths spoil the prediction.

Joshua: WAREHOUSE
Helena: TIME
Fantine: CIRCUMSTANCE

And I honestly don't know about Valentine yet. I don't think she's going her canon path, but I don't know what her path is.

I kind of expected all the Les Mis pups' cards to just say HUGO.

Thor: BATTLE
Enjolras: EXECUTION
River: BULLET
Regan: SICK
Clare: oh god I don't even know.
Trowa: HEART (maybe I dunno)

Ma-Ti kills Trowa?????

Y'know, for all the various Felix deathfics I've almost written... I don't know that I could come up with decent MoD cards for any of mine. Suggestions, maybe, if you feel like?

Fluttershy: RELIEF.

Because she reaches an extreme advanced age, even for pegasi, and grows fretful over the course of years that her friends and her creatures and any family she may wind up accumulating along the way won't be looked after or cared for properly, and so pushes herself to keep going and try to take care of them despite a lifetime's worth of working hard for them all making her frail. But when all the creatures and all the ponies that she's been kind to over the years gather together to thank her for everything she's done, and she sees that they're doing all right and that they're taking care of each other and that there will be plenty of ponies who will take care of the next generation of animals and ponies because of her example, she's so relieved that she can finally relax properly for the first time in years; and that night when she goes to sleep she goes off to join the clouds or whatever it is happens to the spirits of pegasi after they pass away peacefully.

Man, my pups are a mixed bag on this. Lohengrin's would read, "RAVEN" but he knows exactly what that means. I'm not sure on Mia's at all. And Lucas might prompt a "THE NUMBER YOU HAVE DIALED IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PORKCHOPS" error.

Is it wrong to be snickering at this?

Ray: BOOM
Gordon: OLD AGE. He and Alyx have damn well earned it.
Shephard: SLEEP
Mordin: GETTING IT RIGHT
Medic: The machine will hesitate for a moment, make a few grinding noises, and then start jumping around and spewing out a geyser of cards until it runs out of either card stock or ink. All of the cards will say RED.
Santo: HEART. I don't think there are any movies in which El Santo dies, so I'm going with the fact that in RL, El Santo died of a heart attack during his final, post-retirement wrestling match.
Pentecost: whitetexted for spoilerifficness. PITFALL. Or possibly JAEGER .

Varric is alive as of the start of Dragon Age 3, as he appears in the trailers and they don't look like flashbacks to me, so I'm not going to speculate on this for him yet. And I haven't decided for Ellen. Although given her life and her circumstances, there's a good chance of it being BRIGHT, WHITE LIGHT. ETA: Leesha's suggestion for Mako up above caught my eye. Ellen's is going to say DUTY. And this will not surprise her at all.

As for Shephard's, I've had his death scene prepped and ready to go in the back of my head for a long time, along with his last words. One day I'll do it up as a fic or something.

I am only sure of Evil Chicken, who like BLU Medic, gets buried under a pile of DELICIOUS FOOD cards, but topped by a CARD card.

Well, maybe Fairy Fixit gets SCIENCE! which will actually be a relief for her.

Coyote gets 'OUT OF CHEESE ERROR REDO FROM START' and then promptly comes back to life.

Ambriel- ENTROPY

Donatello gets either NINJAS or SCIENCE.

Duo is the tricky one. His could say BULLET, or SPACE, or BOMB, or even EX-BOYFRIEND. His life is a complicated and dangerous one.

Tommy: FIRE (DUH)
Lou: CAKE

Enzo doesn't have blood. If he used the machine while human, it would somehow produce a punchcard.

In the first MoD anthology there's a passing mention of a guy who's apparently going to die of DISK ERROR....

Will: HEART since he's dying of old age damnit.

Charles: DREAM or X-MEN since they're the same thing and Marvel really likes using other mutants to kill him.

Moist: LUCK

William: I have a few options for him; HEART, BULLET or STEER

Sameth: STONE or CHARTER since I could see him dying when a spell takes just too much out of him or repairing something does.

Jane: DISEASE

Demeter: NO

Tummus: HEART

The Pirate King: KISS, he'd like to go out in the middle of a kiss or sex.

Edited 2013-09-27 19:21 (UTC)

Lois: OLD AGE or DISEASE
(Once it would have read 'KNIFE' but since Chloe already brought her back from that, probably one of those. Oh Smallville.)

Tavi: CHOICE

Next month's preview: END

I refuse to consider Henry until canon tells me things, sob OUaT whyyyy.
