2 and 16 with Fingon, Curufin, Envy from FMA, Edward Elric, Lalwen
Give me 5 characters and a number, and I will put them in preference order for that situation
2 - Shipwrecked on a desert island with
Fingon. I think his wilderness survival skills would probably be the best of the lot and I figure he’d be good at comforting me when I started to despair. Which I 100% would do. (Also of all the elves in this, Fingon has probably had most contact with humans/actually likes and understands them.)
Lalwen. Just headcanon, but I like to think she’d be pretty good at survival out in the wild too. Can probably handle this in a much more level-headed way than I can.
Edward Elric. He’s done this island survival before, for one thing, and also I think (if it’s when he’s still able to do alchemy) that would be super useful. (As long as he doesn’t get hungry and grumpy and hallucinate me being food, that is)
Curufin. Might be able to rig up some sort of amazing signalling device to get us noticed and/or rescued, but would probably be really pissy and disparaging about the whole thing.
Envy. I… really wouldn’t want to be stuck in any confined space with them because I figure at best they would be super irritating, and at worst would kill me for fun when they started to get bored, which would probably be quite soon.
16 - Sent to assassinate me
Edward Elric. I don’t think he’d be able to go through with it, or maybe I could talk him around. He’s so fiercely independent and principled that I think that the only reason he’d actually be sent to assassinate someone would be if someone was threatening someone he loved (probably either Al or Winry, let’s be real, eg. like in the Briggs arc when Kimblee tried to blackmail him into using his alchemy to kill people) so yeah, I’d be like “well... you COULD do this... but I know you don’t want to. What about if we come up with a better plan and together defeat the person you’re being forced into working for that wants me dead?” ...and Ed would almost definitely agree. So yeah, we do that instead, I survive, the day is saved.
Lalwen. Let’s be real, I don’t think that I’m surviving an assassination attempt from any of the others and if any of them are going to kill me, I’d rather it was her.
Curufin. He’d be very quick and efficient, and maybe I could sneak in an interesting discussion about science and maths and politics before he kills me? He probably loves to talk about his ideas with anyone who’s interested.
Envy. They would gloat insufferably before killing me, and Who Needs That.
Fingon. Because he wouldn’t want to kill me, but if he’s being made to he’d do it anyway, and it would be a mess of suffering and Fanfic Level Angst for both of us.
