Application for Gobo from Fraggle Rock
From out of a hole in the wall of the sorting room that had not been there five seconds ago, a tiny humanoid creature came springing into the hall with a broad grin plastered on his face. "Oh good," he muttered aloud. "The hairy creature's not here." Then he looked around. "Neither is the basket where I pick up my postcards." He skittered back to the wall, which no longer had a hole in it. "Whoa!" he exclaimed. "The hole's gone! Now how'm I ever gonna get back to Fraggle Rock?"
He looked around as if searching for some kind of answer, then spotted the application. He examined it for a moment and then, because he felt a sudden random impulse to do so, he began filling it out.
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
He frowned. "There's only one kind of cheese in Fraggle Rock. I don't understand the question. I should ask Boober about cheese. He's the one that cooks."
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
His expression became indignant. "I would never kill anyone! What do I look like, a gorg?"
3. What time is it where you are?
"It's time for me to be getting my latest postcard from my uncle Traveling Matt, but as you can tell, I'm answering these questions instead of getting it."
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.
He frowned in confusion. "Sexually harass? What does that mean?" He appeared to ponder the question for all of about ten seconds before he shook his head. "I don't think that sounds very nice."
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.
"What's a bar, and why would I tend it in the dark? Most things seem to need light to grow."
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.
"I don't know. Gee, you sure ask a lot of questions that make absolutely no sense." He gave an impatient sigh. "Oh, well, if you need an answer, I'd say Fred because George sounds a lot like gorg and nobody would ever want to marry a gorg. I don't even know how the gorgs stay married to each other!"
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.
Maybe you could get some doozers to build things out of paperwork... whatever that is. They like to build things, and I'm sure they could experiment with different material.
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
Of course I'm not useless. I'm a fraggle. We're "a noble race - fearless, dignified, and intellectual. We represent the very pinnacle of civilization and culture. A Fraggle is most assuredly the best of all
possible creatures. Music is the greatest of the Fraggles’ art forms, but Fraggles
also possess uncanny curiosity and great athletic ability. Fraggles naturally have
physical prowess and a dance-like grace." That's a quote from my uncle Traveling Matt's book about fraggles, and he would know 'cause he's really smart.
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.
"Hmmm. A bribe? *He mulls that over* Well, I could sing you a song. I play a mean guitar. I've also got some doozer sticks you could have." He pops one into his mouth and crunched eagerly. "And I'd let you read all of my uncle Traveling Matt's postcards."
"I have read the hogwarts_hocus faq, and understand it is a crazy, cracktastic sorting community and RPG. Gobo
I have read the hogwarts_hocus rules and agree to abide by each and every one of them. Gobo
I agree to be a good sport and not get my knickers in a bunch. Gobo
One day, marmalade will rule the world. Gobo
