I think there is something inherently funny about Arthur getting teased. He's not uptight, but he does project a sort of... gravity, I guess, even when he's being lighthearted, and it's fun to see people ruffle him a little. Also, I think it's cute that everyone can tell that he likes Ariadne. :-)
I am actually using one of the easier methods of fandom blending, because I am ditching most of Inception's world-building rules and only keeping the characters' personalities and general relationship ties. If I were trying to, say, insert all the rules of dreamwork and the military program that developed the PASIV, work out how various preternatural creatures might react to Somnacin, and keep the entire plot of Inception intact in a world that includes legalized vampires, that would be much, much trickier. I generally feel that making two unrelated rulebooks play nice is exponentially harder than figuring out how a bunch of people might translate to a universe with a different rulebook.
