Monday DE
Welcome to the start of another week, I hope everyone is staying warm.
Let's pretend that you have to pair up your pups. I don't know why, maybe it's the dinner thing. How would you pair them up? Would you go for like interests? Or would you pair up opposites and wait for the sparks? Show your work.
[ETA: Dang autocorrect and the lack of a mobile dialog for creating entries in DW. Does anyone know of an App for Dreamwidth?]

Djehuty and the ACME Chief will get on great at dinner. The factoids are flying!
Gredya listens to Bossuet natter on until she gives up and eats him.
Henry V totally wouldn't seduce the king of Scotland's wife--never! the very idea!--he'll just flirt with Mary. A lot.
Feuilly will earnestly try to gain an understanding of William Douglas and Harry Percy's shared milieu (and within a few minutes work out what neither of them has done--that they aren't from the same world at all).
That leaves Ursula and Sr. Waiting-on-the-Apps-Process to chat over dinner, and they'd have a lovely time.

that second one is going to result in the Most Awkward Vengeance Arc

joly is not cut out for vengeance

..okay look he KNOWS people who are good at vengeance, he can talk to them

Ysalwen and Dean Winchestser would be excellent dinner companions. They could one-up each others' stories, she'd match him drink for drink, and then introduce him to Zevran. Fun times for all.
Michael the Archangel and Galadan would be hilarious to me, because he is her brother's analogue in a different universe. So much sniping. Endless sniping. For years.
Nynaeve al'Meara and Flemeth because they could be crotchety old ladies together who cannot stand how stupid everyone else around them is. Even though Nynaeve is not an old lady. But man, does she occasionally act like she is. Usually because it works in making people listen to her. So.
Raven will dive-bomb each of these gatherings and steal the best of their food. Yes.

Sabine/Selina (rebel gals). I think they would get along great, though Sabine might side-eye Selina's more selfish instincts.
Sam/Izana (empathy pups). They'd also having piloting/flying to talk about, as well as their crazy BFFs who keep doing crazy stupid and dangerous things.
Touji/Hank (fear of being monsters). I'm not sure how well Hank would take to Touji, but I know Touji would be open and friendly with Hank, which would likely win him over. I think they would end up comparing science and magic, and finding many similarities since Touji's magic has so many rules.
Eliot/Rollo (hedonists and royals). At first I thought these two wouldn't really get along, but seeing them on the same icon, I realized Rollo seems to get along fine with less than masculine fellows and they might end up spending the night drinking and complaining about responsibilities.
Ahsoka is currently on her own--poor girl--but I could likely seat her with Sabine and Selina. They could talk about adventures and how stupid boys are.

Darcy is the hardest to pair -- maybe I'd seat her with John Connor, because he's pretty good at being an awkward teenager and is about the age of her younger brothers. John can get along all right for the length of a dinner with just about anyone who isn't actively combative.
Chuck Hansen and Melinda May, because he'd realize right quick to be respectful of her and totally 100% believe her accountant cover, yes ma'am. They'd probably end up talking about her days (that she is totally retired from) piloting things/him being a Jaeger pilot.
The last four... oh my gosh, man, I don't know.
Least likely to cause drama?
Clint Barton - Quatre Winner (they are both good at seeming normal, even if they are very different from each other and share almost no common ground that's not super top secret. They might end up talking about circuses! Quatre HIGHLY APPROVES of people named Barton who are circus adjacent)
Legolas Thranduilion - Sebastian (Legolas would find Sebastian charming and weird, and most importantly Not Boring (he'd find both Clint and Quatre SUPER BORING) and Sebastian would be like I HAVE FOUND A FAIRY OF WHOM TO ASK QUESTIONS btw you are taller than expected. Legolas would try to introduce him to ballpoint pens, and oranges, and cameras, and then be like "yes this is definitely from my world, yep" because he discovered it so he gets to take the credit.)

Hannibal and Dorian will talk about arcane points of high culture over expensive drinks for hours.
Father Harman and Lady Margolotta discuss vampire politics, quite controversially but with the same ardour.
Katrina Crane and Alex Vause agree that their country has taken a terrible turn for the worse in 2016.
no subject
In the interest of great
injustice (or, you know, hilarity), I would pair Ben Wade with Raylan Givens for outlaw-versus-lawman repartee.Kate Warner and Gina Cowell would click almost instantly; those two savvy ladies would bond over being badass women in their respective fields of business.
no subject
William and Jane once they got over the awkward on his side of social stuff would talk books and be really happy. I think she would end up trying to see if her father could help him because her father would love William.
Quentin and Will would discuss being a squire and how to deal with someone who just goes chasing after trouble, also various flavors of guilt.
Charles and Ivan would talk drinking, unusual expectations of society, mutations, Charles would listen to a lot of Miles' complaining and offer useful advice. Ivan would give some hints on how to best use society connections and what he's seen work with Miles in terms of dealing with changing disability needs.
My other four don't match up terribly well, after writing, they actually do. Demeter gets along with everyone, she would have such fun with Moist and leave him unsure what just happened. She would make Tumnus feel comfortable.
Tumnus and Sameth would get along well discussing what happens when the way your world works shifts.
Moist would try and get Sameth to make him useful devices and Sameth might catch on for some of them but not all
I've been shopping and will be tagging later.
no subject
Marius and Segundus would make agonizingly polite small-talk, but if they could manage to get onto a topic of shared interest (that does not skirt anywhere near Napoleon), their nerdy enthusiasm would carry them through.
Jamie can strike up some punny banter with Viola, and they'll have a perfectly nice time.
Hotspur is why we can't have nice things and he has to sit alone

Fairy Fixit: Gods are horrible. They shouldn't exist.
Amascut: I agree, let's kill them all.
Fairy Fixit: ???!!!!???!??!!!

Enjolras and Thor will have the world's shiniest, blondest dinner party, in which they will a) agree fervently about how friends are awesome and a couple of Enjolras's friends specifically are awesome, and b) disagree loudly and at length about everything to do with politics. It'll be fun! Ish! I don't know that they'll come away friends, and definitely not having convinced each other, but at least with a certain respect for the other being virtuous and well-intentioned and honorable and totally wrong. Thor will quaff lots of beverage and Enjolras will forget about his coffee until it's stone cold.
Kazul will eat Doctor Dinosaur two sentences into his first attempt to make her into a Murdersaurus Dragon mind-controlled via crystals.
Then Kazul and Cosette will have a lovely tea party and talk about books and housekeeping and friends! Cosette will be more than a little overawed but she'll still end up promising to come by to help Kazul redecorate her guest cavern sometime.

Jehan can go with Brienne. He would think she's a cross between a brave knight from a medieval legend and a brave heroine from a medieval legend who dresses in men's armor to go fight in wars, and he would be utterly awed and delighted by her, and would spend most of the time blushing. She, in turn, would be hugely flattered and delighted and embarrassed and would spend most of the time blushing. It would be adorable, and once they got past the blushing it would be even more adorable, and Jehan would probably write a poem about it.
Combeferre and Fantine can find something to talk about. There are several options, but I'd go with birds. Fantine likes birds, and Combeferre is a science nerd. They can talk birds.

Ida and the Loompas, because I'm not entirely sure which of them is the more horrific, and to be honest...I don't think they know either.
And that's a hell of a lot safer than either Mike or Raph having dinner with them. Because...no. Just...there are somethings that even my brain says no to.
Clearly I just play too many family units, because Mike, Raph, and Splinter having dinner is just a thing that happens.
I suppose I could shake it up and have Aang and Splinter hang out. Maybe they watch Speed Racer.
Ida and Raph could get along, but only because they'd snark at everyone for being dumber than a bag of hammers.
Which would then leave Bumi and the Loompas.
Cripes, that would also be bad.
Because Bumi prides himself on being a master of Barter, as it's the currency of his people! Which means...he'd likely end up some kind of drug mule.
