Resurrection Five Things Meme Answers

amari_zHere are the five things meme answers. Wow, that was a lot. : ) I think I might have exceeded the maximum number of cuts lj allows for an entry, so it’s actually broken down into two posts. Second post is linked at the bottom.
And also, I’m getting the feeling that some of you really like Tristan. In my unscientific survey, he and Lancelot tied for person with the most questions mentioning them (9) and Arthur came in a close second (8). Everyone else was left in the dust: Only four questions relating to the knights in general, Dinaden had three, Galahad two, and Gawain, Gaheris and Merlin one each.
BTW, Bors is quite offended no one asked questions about him, especially since someone asked a question about that creepy Merlin. And you’ve made Tor cry. (Kay has been trying to console him by telling him that out of the non-movie knights, only Dinaden and Gaheris got named in any questions, but actually, deep down, Kay’s a little miffed too—mostly on Dagonet’s behalf.) (Agravaine is making snarky remarks about how the only reason Dinaden got on the list is because all those questions are really about Tristan and how Gaheris wouldn’t have made it either if it weren’t for Gawain and Galahad and people’s prurient interest in threesomes.)

Four things that Arthur is unaware of, but are better now that Lancelot is back (and one that he is aware of)
1. Arthur doesn't realize just how close the knights came to blowing up the mansion with their experiment in bomb making (they were curious, you see, and Tor found a book when Kay took him to the library). Luckily, when Lancelot arrived, he turned to the professionals.
2. Agravaine no longer manages to shirk so many of his chores.
3. Bors has lost about half a stone now that he has weapons to play with. Before that, the only exercise he was getting was sex.
4. No one is really bored anymore.
5. Everyone, even Arthur, knows Arthur is in a better mood (or at least he was until recently). The knights think it is all the sex. They are not completely right, but not far off base.
Five Things that Bedevil even Merlin in This New Era
1. Traffic. Even a druid can't wave a hand and make that disappear
2. Doing his taxes. He can escape death, but well . . . .
3. Faculty meetings. Even to the immortal, they seem endless.
4. Contractors. They said no problem, the remodel will be done in a month, but six months later, there is still a gutted hole where his beautiful study is supposed to be, they are four times over budget, they only show up once a fortnight and work for an hour before disappearing, and even if he puts a curse on them, it still won't get his study finished.
5. Lancelot. You did say bedevil, right?
Four Ways that Arthur and Lancelot Don't Take Over the World, and One Way that They Do
1. Lancelot's plan to rally all the nomadic horse tribes of the world and sweep across Europe was nixed by the reminder of, well, mines and tanks and airplanes. (And not so many nomadic horse tribes left, although Arthur was tactful enough to refrain from mentioning that.)
2. Lancelot's idea of storming Buckingham palace and holding the queen hostage was shot down because: (1) "We don't hold people hostage, Lancelot. It's not right." (Lancelot rolled his eyes); (2) Bruenor likes the queen and made a big fuss; and (3) on consideration, Lancelot realized it wouldn't work anyway, since he doubted that she would provide the proper leverage. After that, he began secretly to eye the prime minister, who struck him as being something of a toady anyway, but then as he fished around a bit, he realized it was extremely unlikely that anyone would really want the man back.
3. Lancelot suggested that Arthur should just announce himself as "King Arthur" to the country, since he was, apparently, expected. (This time it was Arthur who rolled his eyes.)
4. Since Arthur was bent on the whole peaceful means thing, Lancelot thinks that they should stuff the ballot boxes. Arthur says he doesn't need that kind of help, thanks (he actually sounded a little insulted about the whole thing). But Lancelot has nevertheless been spending a lot of time (okay, he told Kay to do it) studying how the mechanics of the voting system works. It's not that he doesn't have the utmost faith in Arthur's ability totalk people into doing what he wants show people the light, but if dealing with Romans has taught him anything, it's that it never hurts to have your own back up plan.
5. We'll see how that works out for them.

Five things the knights learned about kitchens
1. Fire, even fire created by turning a switch, will still burn.
2. You shouldn't warm clothes that contain certain synthetics in the oven. Even if Meliot did fiddle with the furnace and break it and you can see your own breath in the house.
3. The refrigerator is not an experimental space for seeing if that whole penicillin story is true. Why? Because Arthur said so.
4. The hose nozzle attached to the sink is neither a toy nor a weapon. I'm talking to you Percival and Tor.
5. And that goes doubly for the garbage disposal. And while the garbage disposal will mangle silverware, it doesn't work on titanium golf clubs (found in one of the mansion's closets), but it certainly will grind up arms stuck inside. (Don't panic, no limbs were actually lost. Arthur showed them a safety video after the Great Silverware/Golf Club Experiment.)
Bonus 6. It really is true that the kitchen is the most dangerous room in the house. Lucan is actually hoping some type of enemy will attack him in the kitchen so he can try out the garbage disposal thing--the video made it look really neat.
Galahad's five most embarrassing fashion faux pau’s
1. There is a difference between a kilt and a skirt.
2. It is also important to understand the difference between a tea cozy and a hat. (courtesy ofdarklyscarlett)
3. White socks do not go with dress shoes, even if the socks have pictures of little duckies on them and the little duckies are wearing tuxedos.
4. Even if they do show pictures of it in fashion magazines, that doesn't mean that people won't turn around and stare at you when you wear a similar costume out on the street, especially if you wear it to a football match. Luckily, Galahad can beat up anyone who calls him a poof (even though he's not quite sure what that actually means) and if there are more than four or five of them, well, he has a bunch of friends (or at least fellow knights who like a brawl).
5. Do not get fashion tips from superhero movies.
Five slightly illegal things the knights have done that Arthur does not know about
1. Guns.
2. Guns.
3. Guns.
4. Guns.
5. Did I mention guns? Oh, and there's also trespassing on government property, running gambling rings, numerous instances of assault (Arthur only knows about, oh, a sixth of these), and a big box full of traffic tickets that is stuffed in some closet somewhere. (Arthur might learn about that last one when his car is towed.)

Five arguments/rows/brawls Galahad and Gaheris have had over Gawain, and Gawain's reaction to each of them
1. When the knights first moved into the mansion, there was quite a tussle over whether Gawain would be sharing a room with Gaheris or Galahad. While Gaheris had Galahad in a headlock, Gawain asked Tristan if he could room with him (Dinaden's queries had been silently, but firmly, rebuffed). Gaheris and Galahad ended up as roommates, much to their mutual disgust.
2. Gawain likes to ride motorbikes. Unfortunately there's only room for one passenger. Whenever Gawain is in the mood for a ride, World War III starts. He generally just leaves without them, sometimes taking Yvain or Tor (Tor always lords it over Galahad later, which results in WWIV).
3. Whenever Gawain drives. They both end up in the back seat.
4. One time, early after the knights were resurrected, Gaheris actually knocked Galahad unconscious during a row about . . . no one really remembers. Gawain was so furious he did not talk to Gaheris for days and Galahad got some serious pampering. Of course, that couldn't last for long, because, well, it was Galahad, and he's a brat and couldn't help gloating a little too much.
5. Galahad and Gaheris used to argue all the time about which one of them was better in bed. Gawain refused to tell them. He said that if they wanted to know so badly, they should figure it out for themselves by actually getting some first hand experience with each other. They shut up after that. For a little while.
Lancelot's top 5 vomit-inducing romantic gestures that he's observed with the other couples
1. After the incident with Kay's boots, Dagonet rubbed Kay's feet. Lancelot wasn't the only one making gagging noises.
2. In desperation, one day Dinaden showed up outside Tristan's door with . . . wild flowers (he had already tried at various times a new gun, a knife, a garrote, a taser, boots, a state of the art GPS system and a parakeet, and, well, Tristan likes nature). Lancelot wasn't sure whether to gag or to fall down laughing. And in case you were wondering if it worked--while Dinaden was still knocking, Tristan had already disappeared out the window.
3. Gaheris buys Gawain a chocolate bar every time he goes out. (Gawain has a bit of a sweet tooth). Gaheris tried to do it surreptitiously at first, but all the knights know and make fun of him. Gawain always shares the chocolate with Galahad. Lancelot, on a few occasions when he's been particularly bored, has suggested that Gaheris really is a chump to stand for it, but Gaheris, although he grumbles about it, doesn't really mind that much.
4. Bors’s latest girlfriend has him pestering Owein and Bedivere to help him bid on Precious Moments figurines on ebay. Lancelot is a little afraid that she might be the one who sticks.
5. Lancelot rolls his eyes every time Kay uses the word "love" in reference to Dag (Kay is a man who is not afraid of anything, much less saying what he feels), but deep down Lancelot is a little jealous.
Arthur's top 5 romantic gestures that he's planning to spring on Lance once the election is over
Er, what? Are you kidding? Okay, if you insist, although it's just kind of painful.
1. Nothing
2. Nothing

Top 5 things Tristan finds utterly irresistible about Dinaden
Since Tristan has done a pretty good job resisting thus far, let's just call this things that Tristan really likes about Din.
1. Dinaden is nearly as good a shot with a bow as Tristan. Nearly.
2. Dinaden occasionally catches signs in tracking that even Tristan misses.
3. Dinaden is really, really good at killing things neatly and quietly.
4. Dinaden can crouch unmoving in hiding for hours upon hours for a chance at his prey.
5. When he smiles, his eyes crinkle a little at the corners.
Top 5 things Dinaden finds utterly irresistible about Tristan
1. His eyes.
2. The sound of Tristan's voice whispering to him in the dark.
3. Tristan in battle.
4. That one moment, when Tristan loses control right when--well, Dinaden is saying it's none of your business and he looks scary. So shutting up.
5.The fact that occasionally, if you are very, very patient, and know what to look for, you might catch Tristan smiling.
