Ofelia, El Laberinto del Fauno
There is the sound of stone grinding against stone, and then a small section of wall is pushed open as though it was a door, even though there is no door there. A young dark-haired girl richly dressed in red and gold crawls through the new doorway and stands up, grinning as she looks around at the Sorting Room. She has a small brown case slung over one shoulder, a red ribbon in her hair, and a little green fairy buzzes around her head chittering at her. The girl holds up her hand for the fairy to perch on, then pushes the doorwary shut. Once shut, the wall reseals itself as if there was never any door there.
The girl walks over to the table with the applications on it, staring and smiling at all the other people in the room.
"Hola," she says, taking an application form. It makes no sense at first, and then somehow she can read the words.
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
"The cheese we would have at home, before the war when Padre was still alive. My padre in Spain, not my padre in my kingdom. I can't remember what that cheese was called. I don't think I knew, it was just cheese."
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
"I do not know who these people are, and I do not think I could kill anyone." She pauses to reconsider. "Unless they're not people, but are instead like the toad who was killing the old tree near the mill, then I would do something about them. The one who does the most harm, first."
3. What time is it where you are?
"I'm not quite sure, I was out exploring and not paying attention to the time. It is between lunch and supper."
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.
"I don't understand what 'sexually harass' means."
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 too young to do something like that. But when I was older, if I had one, I would call it 'The Labyrinth.' Or maybe 'Carmen,' after Madre. But if I called it Carmen, it would have to be very beautiful.
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.
"Why do they have to get married anyway?"
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.
"Do you have a job where you need to keep records, like receipts and orders? Padre's shop had those, and there were always more of them because he was working. If you stopped working, you'd stop getting them, but then how would you feed your family?"
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
"I knew Mercedes was helping those men in the woods, and I kept her secret. I helped Madre and ran to get help for her when she was sick, and the doctor called me her nurse. I drugged the Captain to slow him down while I escaped to the labyrinth with my brother, and I completed the three tasks that proved I was Princess Moanna and that I hadn't become mortal in my time away from my kingdom. I also know lots and lots of fairytales."
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.
The girl looks through her case. "There is more in here than I thought would fit...I have several books of fairytales, and I know more fairytales that I could tell you. I have the golden key that I got when I killed the toad, a knife that I took from the Pale Man, a quarter of a bottle of medicine that will make you sleep, and some magic chalk. I also have a hair ribbon, if you want that." She indicates the ribbon in her hair. "Will one of those do?"
"I have read the hogwarts_hocus faq, and understand it is a crazy, cracktastic sorting community and RPG. _Ofelia/Moanna_
I have read the hogwarts_hocus rules and agree to abide by each and every one of them. _Ofelia/Moanna_.
I agree to be a good sport and not get my knickers in a bunch. _Ofelia/Moanna_.
One day, marmalade will rule the world. _Ofelia/Moanna_"
