Pimping creepy playwrights

[tallulahgs]

Okay, so... for some reason, my brother has an assignment to set up a Livejournal for Joseph K, the protagonist of Kafka's The Trial. He has asked me to tell y'all and go and comment on the LJ joseph_k101 as if the post is absolutely genuine. No knowledge of Kafka is required, he just wants comments.

And he is a very cool brother who bought me Battle Royale on DVD so he really deserves comments.

(I have no idea what's going on, but if you could leave him a comment he'd be very grateful. If you pimped this out to anyone else he'd be even more grateful. Thank you! ^_^V)

Edit: fannish5 meme!

What five characters would you want working for you if you were a supervillain plotting world domination?



1) Kazuo Kiriyama (manga version, please. Movie version smiles too much and his hair is weird.) Okay, he's incredibly creepy and might betray you if he decides this is no longer interesting, but you can't deny the guy's efficient (and very hard to kill). Also, he thinks laterally, so could help think up clever plans.

2) Shinji Mimura. Every team needs a l33t hacking genius, right? (Okay, so I just fangirl him. But he is pretty talented. Also, his lackadaisical manner and charming demeanour would balance out Kazuo's, erm, lack of charm or lackdaiscalness (THAT'S SO NOT A WORD, TALLULAH.))

3) Manga!Kei. Because she's ruthless and pretty competent and has her medium powers. Which I guess means the other two people on the list have to be...

4) Chiyoko. Because she is just scary and very cool. And we need some muscle.

5) Tetsuo. Because then he could use his powers through Kei which means two psychics for the price of one, kinda, and if one could convince him that it's the world's fault that he has such a rotten life (... wait, we don't need to do any convincing, do we?) he'd be utterly devoted to the cause. Bit of a loose cannon/tendency to stab you in the back at the last second, though.

*is now trying to match these five up with the Torchwood team*

*brain is breaking*

I guess Tetsuo would be Owen, because they're both twats somewhat lacking in people skills; Shinji would be Jack because they're both flirty and charming (and Shinji's probably got more sex drive than anyone else in the team)... erm, Kazuo would be Ianto because they are both quiet and lurk in the background; then Kei would be Gwen and Chiyoko would be Toshiko because Chiyoko is more of a sidekick.

Right, now I've scared myself ^^

Very strange! I have commented, hope it helps. That's quite weird cause me and James took a wander down to our local Oxfam shop yesterday and there was a very nice hardback edition of The Trial, so we bought it. I think it's a brilliant book, and he can't wait to start it.

The second Oxfam trip related coincidence.. we were talking about the film Breakfast at Tiffany's and when we got in the shop Radio 2 was on, they were doing a quiz and the question was which actress played the main protagonist in the film!

Thanks for commenting (and plugging it in your own LJ!)

I haven't read it, Kafka freaks me out - my brother hasn't either, but he was Joseph K in the dramatic version last year (hence, presumably, his foray into LJ).

*dies at her team and will take that meme* Of course, the fact that Kazuo and Shinji would kill each other isn't part of the meme, is it? *shot*

[tallulahgs]

This is, perhaps, a small flaw in the team selection...

(Kei and Tetsuo would also try and kill each other, so... actually... this team is, in the best tradition of evil teams, full of backbiting, snarking and attempted murder. Wheee! ^_^V)

Tetsuo? Hon, good luck with that one. XD

Chiyoko, though; bonus points. Major bonus points. I love her!

[tallulahgs]

I know, I know, Tetsuo and the words 'team player' don't exactly match up... but Chiyoko FTW ^___^
