Roran Garrowsson, The Inheritance Trilogy
((OOC: Ok’d by Eragon-mun! Roran is illiterate, so please assume the quill is writing for him, but his answers are out loud.))
A tall, brown-haired youth stumbled through the doorway. "Oops…" he said, to no one in particular. Gripping the blacksmith’s hammer that hung at his waist and grasping his shield, he scanned the room… to find nothing but a desk and chair. Approaching the desk, he found a piece of parchment, along with a quill. The parchment had letters on it, but he couldn’t tell what they were. Suddenly, the quill stood up on its own. Roran leapt back, ready for action, but relaxed after a moment. After all, what could a quill do? A voice floated across the room, asking him a question. He didn’t quite know what to say... but there wasn’t much else to do. So why not?
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
"Hmm… well, on my father Garrow’s farm, we made cheese from our goats’ milk, so…goat cheese, I’d say," he decided, still not sure what the questions were for.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
"I’m generally opposed to killing, unless I really have to. But if either of them threatened anyone I cared about, down they’d go." He’d try, anyway.
3. What time is it where you are?
Roran could see the practicality in this one. "Late afternoon to early evening."
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.
Roran blushed, shuffled his feet, and mumbled something incoherent.
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.
Roran scratched his head. "Hmm… how about Garrow’s Place?"
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.
Roran gaped. That can’t be right… "Wait… aren’t Fred and George men’s names? I mean… if he really wants to, this Harry fellow should marry whoever he loves." Even if it made no sense to Roran.
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.
Now Roran knew just what to say. "Say, have you tried burning it? I’ve found paper makes great kindling."
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
Useless? Hardly. "I’ve worked on a farm, I’m an apprentice blacksmith, and I’m the leader of my people… for the time being."
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.
"Well, I’m learning to be a blacksmith, so I can make you something, maybe, if there’s a forge here. I did bring my hammer and shield, so if you need something guarded, I can do it. If you have any farming that needs to be done, I’m pretty experienced at that. I have a little money, but I might need it. But I’m willing and able to help however I can." He hoped that would be enough…
