Seven HypQuests

1. What would you do if you found the Minions from Despicable Me having a party in the entire first floor of your house, and then the phone rang and Gru's voice said on the other end, "Hello, this is Gru. I am looking for my Minions, who have somehow gone missing again. Have you seen them?"?

I would say, "Uh, no. Haven't got a clue! It isn't like they came to my house to have a party. Good luck finding them!" Then I'd hang up and join the party, and when it was over, I'd help the Minions sneak back to Gru's place.

2. What would you do if you were sitting in a restaurant eating your food at with your family, and then the guy next to you pulled out a cigarette lighter and lit your food on fire?

I would yell, "Excuse me, Waiter (or Waitress)! This food is a little overcooked." Then warn the guy to use his lighter properly after the Waiter or Waitress took my food. If he did it again, I'd call either the police or the asylum on him.

3. What would you do if you were walking home by yourself in the evening and then you saw Voldemort in a dark alley?

Yell, "Ahh! It's HE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAMED!!!!!! Then, three letters: R. U. N.

4. What would you do if you went to class on a day when your normal teacher was sick and then you found out the substitute teacher was one of the Chatterbox Admins?

Since I'm homeschooled, I'll assume this refers to my film class at the local community college. Then I'd ask the Admin, "Wow! You work at Carus, and you're qualified to teach a film class? You must have been very busy in college."

5. What would you do if the newspaper called you and said they'd like to do an obituary about your recently deceased cat? (If you don't have a cat or never had one, the newspaper people got you mixed up with someone. Please don't give a non-answer like, "My cat isn't dead.")

I would say, "There must be some mistake. I do not have a cat at the present time, and the two my family used to have died a while ago, and even so, I don't believe they are worthy of this paper's attention." 

6. What would you do if Merida (from Brave) was outside in your backyard shooting arrows at the things in your backyard (and so ruining the things that were suspectible to damage from her weapons)?

I'd say, "Excuse me, Princess Merida. While you were awesome in the movie, it is not really proper for you to be shooting arrows at our stuff. You'd better go back to the 17th-century Scottish Highlands before my mom sees you." Then I'd use the time-traveling phone booth I got from Bill and Ted (in this set of HypQuests: http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/inkwell/node/118061) to take her back.

7. What would you do if you went upstairs and saw the objects in your room organizing themselves and cleaning themselves up, just the way you like it? (If your room is already clean, then it gets even cleaner during this operation.)

I'd be very very happy! My room is a GALACTIC MESS and I'd like it to be cleaner, but I am much too preoccupied with other things in my mind and activities (like making these HypQuests posts) to clean it myself. Only if my parents say something like, "You're not leaving this room until it's clean" or, "No Internet, books, or movies until this room is clean" is there a chance of me cleaning it up. I know, I'm such an idiot.

back to the Inkwell

1. I wouldn't answer the phone because I don't know Gru personally. I would ignore the minions. Maybe hide in my room. Or clean it. It needs that.

2. If I'm eating with my family, wouldn't the guy next to me be my dad? Ask Dad how he got a cigarette lighter. I thought he hates cigarettes.

3. Where the heck would I be walking home from? I hardly ever leave my house... Wonder how Voldemort got to this world. Ask him that.

4. Depends on the class. I don't have my class schedule yet... It would be pretty cool, except how am I supposed to tell if they are an Admin? Admins, are you the same Admins on the Muse blog? I could recognise you then (my sister got Muse for a number of years). I would probably ask the Admin some questions about what you think of me. I have a feeling you're a little weirded out, judging by the fact some of my more honest HypQuest answers don't get published. I would be quite amused if the Admin subbed for Japanese. I love it when we have Japanses subs that can't speak Japanese. Everyone starts cursing and saying really weird stuff (for instance, "Elise-san, what do you want for your birthday?" "A dead dog!") and the sub has no idea what's going on. 

5. I'd probably think that was very sweet. I hope neither of my cats (aged 7 and 9) die. We've had them for six years and they have such distinct personalities.

6. Watch her from my hiding spot. I always watch the utility guys that noodle around in the backyard from that spot.

7. First of all, I'd wonder where the stairs came from as my house is single story (there's a ladder into the attic... But that's not my room!) and next enjoy it immensly. I actually need to clean my room by Thursday because my friend Toby is coming over.

The captcha says edui. This is not an edu site, sadly, Captcha. 

 

Cricket Admins are not the same as the Muse blog Admin.

Well, you dad would be to your left, and the guy on your right who lit your food on fire would be a stranger. And you'd be sitting at the bar because there would be nowhere else available to sit. Your mom would be at your dad's left.

You're on the Muse Blog? What name do you go by down there? I'm Doctor Seaweed Stink over on that site.

I'm not on the Muse blog, I just know who the Admins are there.

Does that mean your sister is on MuseBlog, or was at some point? If so, do you know what she went by?

What would you do if Joe the Stickfiddler gooped up his latest HypQuests thread?

Well, whatever it is, you're doing it!

1. What would you do if you found the Minions from Despicable Me having
a party in the entire first floor of your house, and then the phone
rang and Gru's voice said on the other end, "Hello, this is Gru. I am
looking for my Minions, who have somehow gone missing again. Have you
seen them?"

Become fairly disturbed, wondering how the heck they got into my house, and why mine.

2. What would you do if you were sitting in a restaurant eating your
food at with your family, and then the guy next to you pulled out a
cigarette lighter and lit your food on fire?

Start looking up numbers for mental intitutes, and wonder if the restaurant gave the guy White Lightning.

3. What would you do if you were walking home by yourself in the evening and then you saw Voldemort in a dark alley?

Watch him for several minutes to see if Harry Potter showed up.

4. What would you do if you went to class on a day when your normal
teacher was sick and then you found out the substitute teacher was one
of the Chatterbox Admins? 

Be totally excited, and ask a million questions about their job!

5. What would you do if the newspaper called you and said they'd like to
do an obituary about your recently deceased cat? (If you don't have a
cat or never had one, the newspaper people got you mixed up with
someone. Please don't give a non-answer like, "My cat isn't dead.")

Despite my lack of a cat, I'd say I was quite honored, and give them a very touching bit about a blue cat I'd named Fred.

6. What would you do if Merida (from Brave) was outside in your
backyard shooting arrows at the things in your backyard (and so ruining
the things that were suspectible to damage from her weapons)?

Totally freak out, run and grab my bow and arrows, and join her!

7. What would you do if you went upstairs and saw the objects in your
room organizing themselves and cleaning themselves up, just the way you
like it? (If your room is already clean, then it gets even cleaner
during this operation.)

Starting jumping up and down in circles, squealing (as I am apt to do when excited), and be eternally grateful!

1. What would you do if you found the Minions from Despicable Me having a party in the entire first floor of your house, and then the phone rang and Gru's voice said on the other end, "Hello, this is Gru. I am looking for my Minions, who have somehow gone missing again. Have you seen them?"?

If I saw a bunch of strangers (I... haven't actually seenn the movie yet, so I wouldn't recognize them, and even if I did, I'd assume they were cosplayers) having a party in my home, and I didn't know about it beforehand, I'd leave immediately and ask my mom what was going on, whether or not the phone was ringing.

2. What would you do if you were sitting in a restaurant eating your food at with your family, and then the guy next to you pulled out a cigarette lighter and lit your food on fire?

You mean the guy at the table next to mine, not the guy sitting directly next to me, right? Because the only guys I might sit next to in a restaurant are my dad and my brother, and, well, a) I could never think of either of them as the guy sitting next to me and b) they don't even own lighters. So, with that assumption made, I'd let my parents handle the situation.

3. What would you do if you were walking home by yourself in the evening and then you saw Voldemort in a dark alley?

I'd say, "Nice costume, mister!" and hope that this stranger awesome enough to walk around the streets looking like Voldemort would get the reference. That, or I'd pick up a random stick and shout "Expelliarmus!" just for fun. Although I don't actually think my parents would let me walk home by myself through dark alleys at night...

4. What would you do if you went to class on a day when your normal teacher was sick and then you found out the substitute teacher was one of the Chatterbox Admins?

I'd get really excited and say something like, "I go to that website! I go by Ima there! It's so cool to actually meet you! What are you doing teaching classes in Texas?" 

5. What would you do if the newspaper called you and said they'd like to do an obituary about your recently deceased cat?

I'd tell the reporters that there must have been some sort of mistake, as I've never owned a cat, and I didn't even know they got obituaries.

6. What would you do if Merida (from Brave) was outside in your backyard shooting arrows at the things in your backyard (and so ruining the things that were suspectible to damage from her weapons)?

I'd say, "Stop! That's my mom's stuff; you can't just destroy it like that!" I would get my mom because it would be her stuff that the girl dressed as Merida was ruining, not mine, and she'd be better at handling the situation, anyway. 

7. What would you do if you went upstairs and saw the objects in your room organizing themselves and cleaning themselves up, just the way you like it? (If your room is already clean, then it gets even cleaner during this operation.)

I would shout something like, "[Insert nearest family member]! Please come here right away; you have got to see this; it is actually incredible!" partly so that I'd have someone to talk to about it who would believe me and partly so that I'd know other people could see it, too, and I wasn't crazy.
I'm actually surprised that everyone so far, if they saw someone who looked just like a fictional character, would assume that it was actually that character. I mean, we know that cosplayers exist. Even if the characters were actually real, they would be outnumbered by people who cosplayed as them, so any individual you saw would be more likely to just be someone dressed in costume... especially as those particular characters wouldn't all live in the same country as anyone here.  But we can be reasonably sure they aren't real.

Okay this is my first Hypquest minus the ones I have made.

 

1. What would you do if you found the Minions from Despicable Me having
a party in the entire first floor of your house, and then the phone
rang and Gru's voice said on the other end, "Hello, this is Gru. I am
looking for my Minions, who have somehow gone missing again. Have you
seen them?"? 

I would say "No I have not seen any Minions. Have you tried New York City?"

 

2. What would you do if you were sitting in a restaurant eating your
food at with your family, and then the guy next to you pulled out a
cigarette lighter and lit your food on fire? 

 I would say "I do believe you set my food on fire. Get me a new meal for free before I tell your boss."

 

3. What would you do if you were walking home by yourself in the evening and then you saw Voldemort in a dark alley? 

Well I would have no wand (not being a wizard or witch) and so I would back away slowly and RUN!

 

4. What would you do if you went to class on a day when your normal
teacher was sick and then you found out the substitute teacher was one
of the Chatterbox Admins? 

 

Well I am homeschooled but if I went to public school having a Chatterbox Admin for a teacher would be great! 

 

5. What would you do if the newspaper called you and said they'd like to
do an obituary about your recently deceased cat? (If you don't have a
cat or never had one, the newspaper people got you mixed up with
someone. Please don't give a non-answer like, "My cat isn't dead.") 

I would say "Um I really don't have any cats. I do believe you have the wrong kid."

 

6. What would you do if Merida (from Brave) was outside in your
backyard shooting arrows at the things in your backyard (and so ruining
the things that were suspectible to damage from her weapons)? 

I never saw the movie Brave but I would say "Um do you mind to go some where else, maybe back in your movie? I really don't think my parents want you here."

 

 7. What would you do if you went upstairs and saw the objects in your
room organizing themselves and cleaning themselves up, just the way you
like it? (If your room is already clean, then it gets even cleaner
during this operation.)

So like Mary Poppins. Anyway I would just stare. Great maybe it can clean the library now!
