Meme

You've probably seen character roulette and similar memes - tumblr/LJ. It goes something like this:
Character Roulette:
1. Make up a numbered list of 10 to 15 characters and keep it a secret for now.
2. Ask everyone to make up questions eg:

One forces Two and Seven to get married. Is it a happy marriage?
Five, Six and Twelve form a band! What do they call themselves? Are they any good?
Why *are* all the other numbers afraid of Seven?
5 and 11 have nothing in common but their mutual despair at 7, explain.
What secret is 4 keeping from 3?

3. Then fill in the names from your list and answer accordingly.

4. Post results. Or write ficlets. Or both.

I have a list of fifteen characters. Prompt me questions please! Feel free to steal/adapt the questions from other memes or that first Tumblr link if you're stuck for ideas.

1 and 15 walk into a bar. What do they talk about?
6, 4, 10 and 9 need to work together on a heist. What's their team called and who has which part?

Oooh, this sounds like fun! If you're still doing it, may I ask a couple questions?

6, 9 and 12 are trapped in a deserted cabin in the woods during a blizzard. Who displays surprise wilderness survival knowledge? Does 9 share the only blanket (finders keepers) with the others?

3 and 13 get into a fight over who likes 10 more. Who wins? What does 10 think?

15 decides to hitch-hike across country to meet long-distance friend 14. 5 picks them up for a while, but 8 drives them most of the way. Do they become friends or hate each other instantly?

If 11 and 1 decide to have/adopt a baby, would 2 or 4 be a better nanny? And how confused would the kid be if it took after the nanny rather than its parents?
