replacement daily entertainment

[aberration]

It's actually 10 PM Friday for me, but as I'm around I'll take the DE! I made this suggestion and I don't think(?) it's been used, so now is as good a time as any -

If the world were ending tomorrow, who would your character want to spend their last night with?

(I know a lot of characters here would be interested in preventing this, so for the sake of this question, I'd say you can either think of this as who would they want to go into battle with, or assume that this kind of world-ending is absolutely unavoidable, and it's accepted that any attempt to stop it would be futile.)

[neverbelievedintheend]

Canon already answered that one.

[tu_vas_triompher]

All right, if the end is nigh...

Lesgle is with Joly, obviously.

Feuilly is with Enjolras (sorry harry but old habits die hard)

Djehuty does this every day, hanging out on the solar barque with Re while Set spears Apep. You're welcome, everyone.

Gredya would be with her kids; Helen Ramirez would probably be with her friend Sam, who seems to be a decent guy; the Chief would be in Acme HQ working on arresting whoever it is that's trying to steal the world,

...and uggghhh don't tell anyone but Prince Hal would want to be with his dad.

[maid_of_tarth]

Awwwww. Especially Fwee and Enjolras. But I like the Chief's style, I have to say. She'd catch Carmen and save the world, no doubt.

[gondolin_noble]

Glorfindel: Informs me that there's an elf maiden that, if he's actually home, he'd spend that night with. Otherwise he'll be with whatever remnant of his adoptive family he can find.

Katya: Bear or Skellig. Or both, if such a thing could be devised.

Camille: Probably with her maman, or the team, depending on if there was anything they could do to stop this.

William: ... probably wouldn't change his routine much, actually.

Oswin: ................................................ if the world is 100% ending tomorrow no doubt, she'd probably go back to the Asylum and finish blowing up the Daleks, because she's done waiting around peacefully for her own end.

Jemma: Fitz.

Bones: Would like to be with his daughter, but if that's impossible, being with his friends on the command crew.

Ace: ... I'd like to say with her new family, safe in Yorkshire. ... In reality, she would never accept the world ending as a given even if it really really was and would be doing her damnedest to stop it anyway, so... probably alone, snarling at the dark.

Sam: Would go home to her parents, or with whomever she could find from her police friends in Hastings, depending on ability to travel.

[creator_raven]

Alone, Raven's Adobe ass.

[nitro_is_ace]

.... There would be epic bitching, wouldn't there?

(Also, Ace firmly vetos Raven's plan to throw glittered spit-balls at whatever evil baddie is causing the end of the world but then goes and supplies the glitter. So. That's a thing.)

[bjornwilde]

Ahsoka: Anakin, Obi-Wan, Padmé, Captain Rex, and yes, despite everything, Barriss.
Asajj (assuming a further point in canon than her present): Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and Quinlan.
Quinlan: Khaleen and the kids (honestly he'd rather they were in Milliways or something), Tholme, and Ibani.
Hank McCoy: Charles, Raven, Alex, and Sean. Begrudgingly, Erik.
Sam Wilson: Steve, Bucky, and Natasha.
Rollo: Lagertha, FLoki, Arne (hey, it's Ragnarok, he can have whomever), Torstein, Bjorn, and Ragnar. Siggy should be there, tbh, but she does not grok as a fighter to Rollo.
The Luidaeg: No one. Because if it's the end, she's doesn't want anyone she cares about near her when she goes savage. Quentin, Toby, and May if she really had to chose. Maybe the matriarch of the local selkies (whose name is escaping me).
Briareus: Deunan.
Izana: (Assuming future canon) Nagate, Yuhata, and Tsumugi.
Selina: Jay definitely, her mother, and Bruce.

[whatisastiles]

Lady Mary: Matthew

Carol: (riding into battle option) Jess, Tony, Steve, Janet... you get the picture, she's with The Avengers. (And yes, canon has done this repeatedly.)

Stiles: His Dad and Scott

May: Toby, Jazz, Quentin, and Tybalt. And Cagney and Lacey and Spike. So the whole family, basically.

[genarti]

Enjolras: any/all of the Amis, but Feuilly, Combeferre, and Courfeyrac are top of the list if we're talking unavoidable doom. Bahorel gets bumped up to top-ranked too if we're talking about battle. (But really all his friends, if we're talking battle.)

Cosette: either Marius or her father. Or ideally both, but I don't think they're on the same page there.

If she had to pick one... oh man. I want to say Valjean, because as much as she loves Marius, Valjean is the one who's marked as can fix anything and protect me from giant scary monsters in her hindbrain. But she wouldn't actually voice that, because she wouldn't want to reject either one of them in the hour of apocalypse.

Kazul: is totally out there trying to bite the apocalypse in the face, but. Cimorene. (Morwen's her second choice.)

Thor: Loki Sif and the Warriors Three.

[maid_of_tarth]

Combeferre: any/all of the Amis if we're talking battle, or if it's unavoidable. Enjolras or Courfeyrac if he has to pick just one; Joly if the world-ending is something that can be stopped by SCIENCE.

Jehan Prouvaire: any/all of the Amis, but just Bahorel if he had to pick one. Bahorel would rage against the dying of the light in a way Jehan would appreciate. Jehan wouldn't accept "unavoidable"--he'd sit there and look up old magic spells and see if they worked, if nothing else had, and Bahorel would be right there with him.

Brienne of Tarth: Jaime Lannister. They'd fight it together.

[aberration]

Leslie was actually the inspiration for this question – she has canonically answered that the person she'd want to spend her last night with is her husband Ben Wyatt. Though I think if unlike when she said this, she weren't facing the prospect of losing Ben as a partner and friend, she'd also add Ann to that. And pretty much all her friends, for at least part of that night. And any gathering she hosted due to the impending end of the world would be so much better than the Reasonablists'.

Katara and Asami are both more of the fight-it-to-the-end mold. Katara would probably be fighting with her Team Avatar, though if the impending end were inevitable, she'd probably most want to be with Aang. (Older!Katara would want to be with her children and grandchildren.) Similarly, Asami would be fighting alongside her own Team Avatar, but otherwise would want to be with Korra.

Marceline has already lived through an apocalypse, but if it were the End of Existence, she'd probably just be hanging out, watching people like Finn and Princess Bubblegum trying to prevent it.

Elle would want to be with X.

Will... okay. Yes. But first I'm going to say that there are multiple potential answers to this question. It's just that... with all but one, he in some ways also wouldn't want to be with that person, as it would also be extremely painful and would weigh on him... until it was all over anyway. It's not so much about the magnitude of the feelings involved as it is what the experience of that person would be, which is TOTALLY SELFISH, but we're being brutally honest here. So there's really no one better for Will to calmly embrace his impending death with than Hannibal.

[harryhotspur]

Ohh, this is trickier than I thought it would be!

Viola is easiest: as things currently stand, she'd want to be with Duke Orsino, but if she knew her brother is alive, she'd want to be with him.

Arabella Strange would be with her husband, though she'd probably take Lady Pole too if she could.

Hotspur and Segundus-- I'm honestly not sure?? Hotspur would probably say Kate.

[athelstanthescribe]

Mr Honeyfoot?

[harryhotspur]

Yeah, that was my thought! Though he'd probably feel incredibly pained and awkward about intruding on his family at such an inconvenient moment.

[athelstanthescribe]

Ooh, or I could see Childermass randomly turning up and refusing to go away, if he wasn't with Norrell.

[sunbaked_baker]

*wishes for a Childermass in Milliways*

[harryhotspur]

I totally considered it... but I couldn't figure out how I would get him to do anything other than lurk in a corner and refuse to talk to anyone.

[manofbusiness]

I have made this journal on impulse, but I'm going to need to reread the book and possibly do some test threads before actually putting an app in.

[manofbusiness]

>.>

[ceitfianna]

Will would be with the Merry Men and his family, no question, but there are women and friends from Milliways that he'd also enjoy spending and fighting it with just Nottingham is first.

Charles: Raven, Erik, Hank, Sean, Alex

Quentin: Two answers for him, his family but that's complicated and Toby, May, Raj, the Luidaeg though she would know how to fix it.

William: Mark and his mother

Moist: Someone who would make it a fun night.

Jane: Her family and Tom

Sameth: His family, Nick and Kait

Ivan: Tej, his mother, Miles, Gregor though he would expect that Miles is working on stopping it.

Demeter: Kore and she's also annoyed at whoever's fault it is that the world's ending, she would suspect one of her siblings.

Tumnus: Lucy and the rest of the Pevensies

[lucky_jack]

Gene has been through this in a sense, and the answer is Alex. If we're talking about the 70s, before he realises anything about himself and it was just a world-blowing-up thing, then...gah, see, I really want to say Sam. But he is married, and I can't see him abandoning his wife. Lets say she's gone to her mother's, because she does that, and the he gets to be in the pub with his buddy.

Javert - no one. He'd be happy to face that alone.

Valjean - Cosette.

Courfeyrac - see all the other Amis answers. Any of them in battle, Enjolras and/or Combeferre if he can only have one or two.

Bruce Wayne - X. If it's a Gotham-only situation, then Alfred. I mean, he'd be out there fighting but if it's a world-ending comet or something, he'd stay home with Alfred.

Bruce Banner - would be sitting alone, wondering whether this thing actually is going to kill him, or if he's going to be left the only thing alive on the planet.

Pearly Soames - would be out with his crew, enjoying the chaos.

Jim Moriarty - weirdly, I think he'd call Sherlock.

Jack Aubrey - Stephen, of course. Because obviously he'd be out on the sea, flying the flag and doing his bit to stop whatever was threatening, and it would just be wrong not to have Stephen out there with him.

[forceimbalance]

Eriond - ...Would be stopping it? But otherwise, a ride with Horse and time with The Traveling Band of the Belgariad/Mallorean. Probably subtly being comforting.

Henry - In his pre-canon state, no one. He'd just be miserable and alone, maybe with Regina for lack of better ideas. Later on, of course, Emma, Mary Margaret, David, eventually Regina again, AKA his family because yeah.

Lois - Clark. If Martha's around, glory be, her too. Chloe and Jimmy if Chloe and Jimmy can find the time to spare, and if Oliver's in town it'd be awkward but still nice--but Smallville's good for stress relief. And takes care of her when she's drunk. And things. (Look, Lois is still in season 7, she's not woken to certain feels yet.)

Evelyn - Right now? Probably her favorite teacher, her not-a-rival-not-a-friend, her girlfriend, and oddly enough her cousin who's a Templar but they knew each other before Evelyn was in the Circle. Later, of course, she has an enormous and diverse list of Wicked Grace buddies. (Josie, stop taking everyone's money! ...and clothes...)

Tavi - Kitai. Some time with Max and Ehren and once Crassus would have been invited too before he uninvited himself, and Araris and Isana and Bernard and Amara. If Tavi's in a good mood, he might find Fidelias to annoy for a while. Stop off at Magnus' for a chat (but not inviting him to the party purely because Magnus does not want to be at a party with Max drinking, kthnx). If he could add Bar people, probably Alanna and Gavroche get top priority. But eventually alone time with Kitai.

Anakin - Padme. Oh, you know, Obi-Wan too if this isn't a "spend all night with just one person" thing. And the droids are probably there because no one notices droids. In not too long he'll have a Padawan to add to 'people he'd want time with,' but let's be blunt: Padme has priority.

[have_no_mercy]

I think Tess would prefer to be alone. Unless it was a fight and then she'd be with the League because that's her job.

[havetubawilltravel]

Clem: Sam

Dixie: Brisco

Juliet: Shawn (Carlton would probably try to drag her away)

Pinkie Pie: EVERYONE EVER FOREVER

Eponine: Gav.
