Hummm....I'mma gonna do a fannish version
Feb. 1st, 2006 10:46 pmA being of unknown, but obvious powerful origin, has just given you a week to prepare for ownership of your very own world. This world is a mirror copy of Earth, with similar resources and animal life, but is currently unoccupied by man. Once you have arrived in this new world, you will not be allowed to return to Earth.
You have a week to pack. You are only allowed to bring items from the following list:
- Up to 5 books of your choosing.
- No more than 3 tools.
- 1 Musical instrument
- 2 personal items.
- No more than 6 men and 6 women. (including yourself) (<--Dear GOD! Think of the eventual INBREEDING! *shudders* That's one limited gene pool.)
Who and what would you bring?
Would you take on this challenge? Would you take ownership of a brave new world?
****
Lessee....the keyword is "survival", right?
Books: Lord of the Rings Trilogy/The Hobbit/Silmarillion all smashed into one bound book (even though I've never managed to get through any of them yet, I have a feeling that I wouldn't mind the mind numbing stuff so much now), The Complete Idiot's Guide to Survival in the Wilderness, Jean M. Auel's Earth's Children series all bound in one book, The Harry Potter Series all bound into one book, Hunting and Living in the Wild for Dummies (are my fancifully bound books impossible? yes. however, i don't care, it didn't say that this "supreme being" wouldn't help out!)
Tools: Victorinox SwissTool Spirit Plus, Bushmaster Survival Knife (with all the trimmings), a zat gun
Musical Instrument: a flute (small, easy to carry, in the key of C so you can create other instruments with it's help)
Personal Items: An amazingly complete first aid kit with all of the trimmings to last twelve people for several years while we think of ways to replenish our supplies (for Carson and Janet), and a bag that has an infinite supply of tampons and naproxen sodium for all us women.
Six Men: Ronon Dex (not only is the man sex on two legs, but he's a survivalist, a Runner for the Wraith and would be of immense use), Carson Beckett (not only is he Scottish, but he's a doctor...), a young Dumbledore (magic would be dead useful in this scenario, don't you think? And why not have the guy that even Riddle was afraid of? And is it even possible to have a book series and a character from that book all on the same expedition? Hmm...), Aragorn (again, pretty, and dead useful), Xander Harris (Before he lost his eye but after he started to learn carpentry to give him a fair chance), John Sheppard (now I'm just going for the pretty, but he'd be handy...I think...)
Six Women: Me (obviously), Teyla Emmagan (a born leader and could kick your ass from here to next week--without breaking into a sweat), Honda Tohru (odd, yes, but I think she'd do well), Samantha Carter (another kickass woman with quite a lot of brains to back it up), Ayla (but modernized, sorta), Janet Fraiser (can never have too many people who know how to heal among other things)
I'm actually way too fond of amenities like the internet and toilets to actually want to do something like this. Unless there was a nuclear winter or something of the like, then I'd be long gone.
