Jill, from Katherine Kerr's Deverry books
A young woman with short blonde hair walks in, stops, and looks around in surprise. She is wearing worn baggy trousers, a slightly stained linen shirt, boots, and a swordbelt from which hang a sword and a silver dagger.
"By the Lord of Hell's black hairy balls! Since when did Brin Toraedic have a room that looked like this?"
(OOC: This Jill is from post-Dragonspell, but before the Westlands Cycle.)
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
"If it's not mouldy and doesn't have insects or suchlike in it, then it's fine by me."
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
"The one that attacked me first, of course."
3. What time is it where you are?
"Uh, it had been approaching sundown. Why, isn't it that time here?"
4. If you were Albus Dumbledore returned from the dead, which member of the Order of the Phoenix would you sexually harass? How would you harass them? If you are Albus Dumbledore, please answer as if you were Sirius Black.
"If I was this Albus reborn and was the type of pisspoor bastard to harass lasses like that, given how Wyrd works I suppose I'd be harassing the lass who's soul I'd been tied to in my previous life."
5. If you are pushing to be in:
A. Slytherin - please state the clever, witty name of the bar in which you bartend, in the dark.
"I'm no tavern lass, and won't ever be one. Got it?"
B. Gryffindor - Debate whether Harry should ultimately end up married to Fred or George. Use examples from a variety of world mythologies to bolster your argument.
"Those are strange names for lasses. But he should marry the one he loves best and who loves him back. And if he ever betrays her, tell her to come see me and I'll teach her how to throw him across the stableyard a few times."
C. Ravenclaw - You guys are supposed to be smart. Explain why my desk is inundated with paperwork at all times, even though I’m constantly disposing of it.
"The Wildfolk are probably playing pranks on you by putting it back when you get rid of it. Or they might be thinking that they're helping, they're not the brightest."
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
"Useless? Hmph! Here, I can swing a sword better than most men, ride for a couple of days without collapsing from exhaustion so long as I can change horses over before they founder, survive in wilderness, well and truly hold my own in a scrap, see Wildfolk and get them to stop bothering folks - or to bother them, if that's what's needful - haggle, get you in and out of most places, speak Bardekian, read and write, and I'm also learning dweomer. So don't go accusing me of being some useless lass."
6. Offer a bribe to the members of this community so that they will not squib you. Items used in bribery do not necessarily have to belong to the person offering the bribe. Do not threaten us rather than offering a bribe. A threat indicates you either don't really want to be here, or don't have enough sense to answer the question properly. The hat will automatically squib you, regardless of other votes, if you do.
"Got any battles you need fought, criminals hunted down, that sort of thing? I can do all that, or run messages, guard caravans, anything that needs an extra sword. I could also scribe somewhat, though my reading and writing ain't the best yet. Or I could get the Wildfolk to stop putting the paperwork back on your desk."
