Swiped from people far cleverer than me:

Name any story I've written, and any character in it, canon or OC. I'll tell you three things about that character which I didn't put in the story. One request per person.

Can't quite decide what frightens me more about this: that people won't respond, or that they will.

Well, let me be the first to request three facts about Darwin from that 'verse -- no particular story needed.

[ridesandruns]

1. He has enough squeak toys to equip a small store. Scott and Jean favor squeak toys for the dog because they consider them “interactive.” Warren considered staging an intervention for both of them the first time he heard them expound on this theory.
2. He detests turtles and will throw himself between Jean and turtles when she walks him by the lake. Bobby Drake has commented that this might come in handy should the mansion ever be overrun by teenage mutant ninja turtles.
3. When Scott’s out of town, Darwin sleeps in bed with Jean. When Jean’s out of town, he sleeps in bed with Scott. Both Scott and Jean insist they do this because the dog gets lonely. The rest of the time he sleeps in their sitting room on a red dog bed Ororo bought him before she discovered how much he loves to dig in her garden.

[likeadeuce]

Aww, these are great. I especially love 3.

Warren, from the Verse of the Adorable Beagle!

[ridesandruns]

1. Jean forced Warren to join her, Scott and Charles in attending Darwin’s graduation from puppy kindergarten. Warren spent the time -- in between being introduced as “Darwin’s Uncle Warren” and the stirring rendition of the tune the program identified as “Pup and Circumstance” -- counting the different ways he could kill himself. He was up to 84 by the time the ceremony wrapped up.
2. He's still carrying a grudge from Darwin's teething days. The pup started gnawing on his wings, and when Jean noticed blood on his feathers, she screamed and snatched the dog up so she could examine his gums and teeth for injuries. Though Darwin and Warren were both fine (the blood was from Darwin's gums), Warren bitterly commented that it was nice to know where Jean's priorities lay.
3. He doesn't for one minute believe Jean's nonsense about Lola the Siamese Cat being a cyborg sent to kill them all, but the predatory look she gives his wings gives him the creeps.

[lilacsigil]

Poor Uncle Warren! And I entirely believe that one day Warren will wake up to find Lola trying to drag him off and leave him on Jean's doorstep.

Logan, from the Puppy!verse.

[ridesandruns]

1. Is annoyed beyond measuring that the mutt is more likely to obey Summers than him.
2. Is disgusted that both Frost and Jeannie have a thing for the Boy Wonder, but would really, really like to see them get into a physical fight over it. Preferably in the DR after they've both been sweating.
3. Finds himself looking at Summers' ass from time to time and wondering which candyass cartoon boxer shorts the kid is wearing, then wonders why the fuck he's wondering that.

[youngest_one]

Ha! Poor Wolvie.

[st_aurafina]

Lola, please!

[ridesandruns]

1. Prefers to walk on carpet or hardwood floors. Yells to be carried if she's expected to walk on concrete, metal, or, God help us, grass.
2. Disdains toys. Prefers to sleep, groom herself and gaze at Scott.
3. Scott is the only person allowed to pick her up. He, Charles and Emma are the only people allowed to pet her with impunity. Anyone else, well, she might tolerate it or she might not. She's yet to actually maim anyone.

[ridesandruns]

Damn, should have remembered to use my Lola icon!

[xenokattz]

Durn, someone took Lola!

Scott please?

[ridesandruns]

1. Is secretly pleased that Lola is so fixated on him, though he'll never admit it.
2. Is annoyed that Darwin has bonded so closely to Logan.
3. Is genuinely bewildered by Jean's attitude toward Emma Frost. (Yes, he's really that dense.)

and more Lola:
4. Has the dog utterly cowed. When she glares at him, he puts his tail between his legs and ducks behind Jean.
5. Threw up on Jean's pillow, in Jean's shoes and in Jean's favorite handbag when Scott took a three-day trip with Charles.
6. Was telekenetically shoved into her cat carrier and taken for a flea dip "as a precaution" after No. 5.

GAWD I love you and your icon.

[ridesandruns]

Hee. The lovely and talented tanya_ltp made that icon for me. She also did the Darwin one.

I adore your icon, too! It just cracks me up. I can just see Logan hyperventilating and saying, "WHAT?? We might WHAT??" and Scott saying, "Your 'advanced hearing' seems to be failing faster than our engines."
