Application: Starman, Justice Society/Legion of Super-Heroes
A black-and-white blur flies into the Sorting Room from a flash of light, and lands at the applications table. The man is clad in a shimmering black bodysuit and full face mask that looks like a field of stars, and white boots and gloves. He is humming a jaunty tune.
"Wow, that was fun! I love a rainy night! I miss my dreamer already, but it's good to be hom-"
He stops and looks around. "Doctor? Nurse? Hello? Anyone?" He looks around the room some more. "I don't think we're in Opal City anymore, Proty..."
Then he spots the dictaquill, recording his every word, and laughs a little too loudly. "Computo, you scamp, is that you?" He pulls the application form out, the quill fighting him all the way, and both reads and answers the questions aloud. The quill records his replies on the next form down.
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
"They make a nice cheese on Titan. Oh, but they haven't started making it yet! It'll be another couple hundred years for that." He chuckles and sings, "...let me see what spring is like/on Jupiter and Maa-aars..." and dances a few shuffling steps as he looks ahead to the next question.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
He stops stock-still abruptly and draws in a hissing breath.
"No. No no no no NO NO. No killing! It's against the code! It was 10 to 9 that one time, but they'd nevernevernever take me back again!" He wraps his arms around himself and rocks back and forth. "Dream-dream took me back though, that's what matters, Kenz Nuhor can't hurt us, can't hurt anyone, got to be so careful..."
After a moment he stops rocking and muttering, takes a deep breath, and reads the next question.
3. What time is it where you are?
He laughs with just a tinge of hysteria. "That's the 64 credit question, isn't it? When I am and where I am. I'm a 21st-century boy when I'm in Opal City being just plain Starman, or when I'm with my new friends in the Justice Society. I was Starman one other time too when I was being Danny Blaine on Earth-22. That's a secret. Don't tell Brainy! Before that I was Star Boy. I was a Legionnaire! We're the heroes of the 31st century! Zip! Zoom!"
He stops and sighs, and pulls off his mask. Under it is a pleasant squarish face with brown eyes and hair and a full beard and mustache. "Before all that I was just Thom Kallor of Xanthu. Maybe I still am?"
For a moment he looks clear-eyed and almost lucid. But the moment passes, and he reads on.
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.
"Meh. You don't really think they all volunteered to die bringing him back just so he can get handsy with the help, do you?" He blows a raspberry. "That's not what I took Colossal Boy's place for. Next."
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.
"The Tail of the Comet. 'Cause that's what gave me my powers, see? Or maybe The Gravity Well. Because I make things heavy? Computo, you're not laughing. The voices are laughing, though." He frowns. "Oh well. 52."
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.
He shrugs. "As long as he doesn't go after my Dream Girl, either one of 'em's fine. I bet she could tell him which, though. She can see farther than anyone on Naltor!"
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're a Coluan?"
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
"Pffft. I help people! I stop fires and bank robbers and other bad people in Opal City. Even the doctors at Sunshine Sanitarium say I'm useful! I helped bring the Flash back to life - HAA! Top that!" He crosses his arms over his chest and grins goofily.
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.
"I'd give you a piece of my mind but I - I'm not sure I've got them all. I think I left a few back at Legion HQ. Hope Computo hasn't thrown 'em out." He scrabbles at the hem of a glove and pulls out a small package. "I have gum! Oh, and I can get you the Flash's autograph. Either Flash! Maybe Superman's if he's not still mad at me?"
He looks around the room. "Can I have my pills now? Four colors. Gotta have 'em all!"
I have read the hogwarts_hocus faq, and understand it is a crazy, cracktastic sorting community and RPG. _starman_
I have read the hogwarts_hocus rules and agree to abide by each and every one of them. _starman_.
I agree to be a good sport and not get my knickers in a bunch. _starman_.
One day, marmalade will rule the world. _52!_
