What kind of 'things' do you put in Jell-O, exactly?

fathalpert January 15 2007, 00:55:21 UTC

Jim grinned at Laura. "Well, let's see. There's been..." He ticked off on his fingers, looking thoughtful. "Dwight's stapler, Michael's coffee mug, Andy's calculator, Dwight's phone, Dwight's keys..." He trailed off, then shrugged and fought back a snicker. "Well, most of Dwight's stuff, actually."

wh0_kill3d_m3 January 15 2007, 00:59:56 UTC

Sensing a theme here. Why the all Dwight all the time prank channel? What'd he ever do to you?

fathalpert January 15 2007, 01:03:13 UTC

Why Dwight? To Jim that was like asking 'why blue?' to the sky. "It's not only Dwight, it's just that..." Jim had run into this problem before! He had tried to explain 'Dwight' to his roommate, once. It hadn't quite sunk in. "Have you met him?"

*glances over at Dwight's corner of the Sorting Room*

Well, I read his application. But we haven't really talked yet. Why?

fathalpert January 15 2007, 04:30:24 UTC

Jim nodded slowly, mulling this over. Dwight, Dwight, Dwight... "Okay, see, the thing is... Dwight's the kind of guy who needs to be shaken up every once in a while." Well... "Kind of a lot. I guess you could say I've just... made that my responsibility, over the years."

wh0_kill3d_m3 January 15 2007, 05:05:37 UTC

Ohhh. I see. Doin' it for his own good. Gotcha.

So are you the guy I go to for pens? I want a box of ballpoints and a box of felt-tips. Black, natch. In exchange for a vote. Right?

fathalpert January 15 2007, 06:13:51 UTC

"I am definitely the guy you go to for pens," he agreed with a laugh. "Ballpoints and felt-tips, I can hook you right on up." He started poking through the box, rooting for the pens.

"Just tell me one thing." He pulled out a couple of bundles and leaned in, lowering his voice. "What's the, uh... what's the deal with this voting thing? And... how do I make sure I stay away from Slytherin?"

wh0_kill3d_m3 January 15 2007, 06:20:37 UTC

Oooh, thank you! *takes the pens*

The voting thing is to decide what House you're going to stay in while you're here. They've each got their own sort of character profile, and we try to match you up with the best fit.

You can kinda campaign for one house over another with the voters, especially the ones like me that're going on pure bribery. It all comes down to what the Sorting Hat says, though, and he can either go with the votes or go on his own judgment. Never any telling with the Hat.

Why not Slytherin? Got somethin' against bartending in the dark?

fathalpert January 15 2007, 07:19:40 UTC

"Yeah. I'm kind of a morning person, I guess." Jim was not about to let her in on his actual reasoning. The most important thing about staying away from Michael was not to let him know about it, and that meant that the only person he could talk to about it was... Pam. And she wasn't here. At all.

That kind of sucked to think about; he rallied himself and grinned at Laura. "So where should I be going instead?"

Vote: Hufflepuff wh0_kill3d_m3 January 15 2007, 07:25:46 UTC

Huh. Kind of a tossup, 'cause I'd've said the sneaky pranky part of your nature makes you a natural for Slytherin. I guess the next best bet would be...Hufflepuff, really. That do?

Re: Vote: Hufflepuff fathalpert January 15 2007, 07:33:25 UTC

"Hufflepuff sounds fine," he agreed emphatically. He didn't know what made him Hufflepuff material, but if it meant that Michael wouldn't make him try to share a room, he was all for it.
