I got tagged by to let my characters answer some questions.


1.Choose a few of your own characters. Five at the most.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Then tag three people.
4. Feel free to go ahead and add some questions yourself!!


So. . . who's doing the quiz?:

Athena, Hermes, Hades and Eris from my comics based on Greek mythology.


1. What's your favorite food?

Athena: Ah, you see, we usually don't eat human food. Nectar and ambrosia are the only things we need.

Hermes: But we CAN eat other stuff a little now and then if we really want to. I must confess I have a weakness for feta cheese.

Hades: Well, I like cookies. And pomegranates.

Eris: Hot dogs!

2. Are you a virgin?

Athena: Yes.

Hermes: Heh, no.

Hades: No.

Eris: No, I love to screw around with people. In all kinds of ways.

3. What kind of movies do you watch?
I skip this question 'cause they can't answer it anyway.


4. Are you married?

Athena: Considering I'm a virgin, I think you may conclude that I'm not married.

Hermes: No. I was married once, though. Didn't work out too well, since we were both very young and did it mostly just so we could have sex.

Hades: Yes.

Hermes: Um, uncle Hades? I think they want a little more information here.

Hades: Like what?

Hermes: Like WHO you're married to.

Hades: They didn't ask about that.

Hermes: Sigh! He's married to Persephone. She's young enough to be his daughter and hardly ever talks, except with her scary plants, but that's obviously what turns him on since it seems to go pretty well. Wanna add something?

Hades: No. But I want to strangle you.

Eris: Are you two finished? Good! I'm not married.


5. Have you ever gotten drunk before?

Athena: I usually stop drinking before that, but I've been slightly drunk a couple of times. I don't like it, though. Guess I'm too much of a control freak.

Hermes: Sure. At parties and such.

Hades: Only idiots get drunk.

Athena and Hermes: Thanks a lot!

Hades: Well, MOST of them are idiots.

Eris: I've been drunk many times, but not from alcohol.

6. Do you have a celebrity crush?
I skip this question too, since they are, like, celebrities themselves.

7. Your embarrassing moment?

Athena: Um, once when I visited the agora in Athens, I slipped on a squashed fruit on the ground and fell flat on my butt. Everybody turned around and looked at me and I felt terribly embarrassed. It may sound like a silly thing, but... I often feel that I'm not allowed to do any mistakes in front of the mortals. Or my family, for that matter. Not that anyone recognized me... As I said, control freak.

Hermes: Hm, I can't think of anything special...

Hades: That's because you have no shame. Mine must be when I asked my brother Zeus if I could marry Persephone. I mean, I was embarrassed enough in front of myself that I was having these... feelings for her, and then I had to talk about it with my obnoxious brother as well. Ugh, total degradation!

Eris: Oh, this is funny... Once I was at a symposium... I don't exactly remember how I got there, I think someone mistook me for a hetaera or something... Anyway, people started to talk philosophy and I wouldn't be outdone, so I said: "Man, does this guy Plato have problems or what? He believes everything should be stuffed and arranged in rigid categories, ignoring all creative disorder around him. What does he think THAT will lead to? I bet he suffered real bad from indigestion when he wrote down his texts." Then everyone suddenly becomes quiet and... teehee... it turns out that Plato also was a guest at that symposium. Oh boy, it hit him quite hard too...

8. Your best friends?

Athena: Prometheus is my best friend. But me and Hermes are pretty close too.

Hermes: I'm friends with everyone! Athena and Apollon are the ones I hang out with the most, though.

Hades: I don't really have any friends, except for my wife.

Hermes: Hey! Don't you count me as a friend?

Hades: Um. Perhaps. A little. Sometimes.

Eris: Best friends? I guess that would be Ares. He misunderstands me quite a lot, just like everybody else, but at least he doesn't mind to hang out with me.

9. Random sayings?
I skip this 'cause I'm not sure I understand it.

10. If you saw a shooting star right now, what would you wish for?

Athena: what is the point in making wishes at myserious light phenomenon in the sky? If you want something to happen, you have to ACT and DO something about it.

Hermes: Aww, come on, Athena... Just play along!

Athena: Okay... I would wish that all the Olympians could take their responsibility towards mankind and stop fooling around.

Hermes: I would wish that the universe will never cease to fascinate me.

Hades: That the thing that burnt out up there died in peace.

Eris: A hot dog!


11. What is your favorite word?

Athena: "Wisdom".

Hermes: "Surprise".

Hades: "Tranquillity".

Eris: "Fnord"!

Hermes: Um, may I ask what that means?

Eris: Nothing, really. But it's a wonderful word, isn't it?


12. What song was sung to you when you were a child as you went to sleep?

Athena: I didn't have the time to be a child.

Hermes: I did the singing myself when I was a kid. I know lots of dirty songs, you wanna hear?

Hades: I... never really was a child.

Eris:
"Onwards Christian Soldiers,
Onwards Buddhist Priests.
Onward, Fruits of Islam,
Fight till you're deceased.
Fight your little battles.
Join in thickest fray;
For the Greater Glory,
of Dis-cord-i-a.
Yah, yah, yah,
Yah, yah, yah, yah.
Blfffffffffffft!"

(The others stare at her.)

Eris: Hehe, no. No one really sang that to me. I just made the song up myself.


13. What was the best day or moment of your life?

Athena: When the Athenians chose me to be their patron goddess. That day I really felt that all my efforts had led to something.

Hermes: I don't know... I was very happy when I hold my firstborn for the first time. Though his birth also resulted in the definitive breach between me and the mother.

Hades: When I moved out of Olympus and established myself as lord of the Underworld. Finally some peace and quiet and orderly conditions.

Eris: When I threw in my Apple of Discord among the guests at Thetis' and Peleus' wedding. I watched the chaos for a while, then left to be alone and enjoy a hot dog.

Athena: you know, this is the reason why only idiots like Ares wants to hang out with you.

14. How would you describe your voice?
I skip this. It's a rather boring question.


15. Who is your favorite boy/girlfriend(s)?
Skip this too, since I don't quite understand it. They have already told us about their best friends.

17. Do you have any gifts from your girlfriends/boyfriends from your first date?
I don't think any of them would have anything to say on this subject.


18. Who are you going to tag?

I don't really like to tag people, but okay... I tag and

Hades: Great. Can we go now?
