Application: Ayame Sohma, Fruits Basket
Ayame didn’t seem particularly disturbed by suddenly being in the sorting room. In fact, he filled out the application with remarkable gusto.
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
I’m rather partial to a smoked Raclette, personally. Served as part of the dish of the same name, of course. It’s a simple, elegant little meal.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
Now, the question one must ask is, how many tries does one get? If I get multiple shots, it doesn’t matter much which I kill first, because the second will soon follow in his footsteps. If, however, I have the resources to kill only one, the question requires a good deal More Thought. If, having dispatched one, I am Forced to Endure the Other’s Company, I am afraid that the best choice might be to TAKE THE BULLET MYSELF!
3. What time is it where you are?
It is eleven forty-three on the dot!
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.
A gentleman NEVER harasses anyone, obviously. I find it insulting that you would even suggest such a thing! However, if any member of this Order were to make overtures to me, I should be honored to respond in kind.
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.
Bartending in the dark? How intriguing! I’d have to call it “The Shed Skin.” A bit of a personal joke, although if anyone asked, I’d say that it was because the bar was a place to leave behind the cares of the outside world like a snake leaves behind a shed skin.
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.
Oh ho! Looking for advice in handling your romantic fantasy? But of course!
Well, the ancient Greeks believed that when twins occurred, one was fathered by a mortal and the other by a god. And mortal-divine romances rarely worked out, so Harry should make an effort to discover which of the twins is fully mortal, and choose him. Unless, of course, Harry is himself a god, which is always possible.
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.
You might try selling it to my good friend Gure-san. I’m sure he’d love to use it to pad one of his manuscripts. Not that I’m endorsing his shameless tormenting of his editor, or anything of the kind.
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
I am afraid that I am useless. Absolutely worthless. Most of my closest friends and immediate family say so, anyway. But I struggle on, valiantly. (Although it does sting a bit, coming from Gure-san. At least I do my job.)
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.
What is your dearest desire, your fondest fantasy? I can help! My skills as a top-quality tailor are at your disposal! No design is too exotic, too bizarre, too risqué! Or, of course, too delicate or classy.
I have read the hogwarts_hocus faq, and understand it is a crazy, cracktastic sorting community and RPG. Ayame Sohma
I have read the hogwarts_hocus rules and agree to abide by each and every one of them. Ayame Sohma.
I agree to be a good sport and not get my knickers in a bunch. Ayame Sohma.
One day, marmalade will rule the world. Ayame Sohma
((OOC: Just realized I should add this, for those not familiar with his canon - when Ayame is hugged by a female, sick, or subjected to extreme heat or cold, he transforms into a snake. So if your pup's a girl who might be tempted to hug a random, bubbly guy, please, pleasecheck with me before she hugs him - in canon, one arm on either side of the body and torsos touching does it, even if it's not what would technically be called a hug. I'll probably say yes, but I'd still like to be asked.))
