(I've been in contact with the muns of the Death Note characters Sidoh has come in contact with and gotten their ok)
Must have picked the wrong portal to the human world. Armo Justin, or Justin Armonia...ah screw it, the jeweled skull, said it was ok for him to go into the human world for a little while to tail a victim. He just wanted to be through about it, make sure this one had a good death, or maybe he was just bored. Either way he forgot it was the first right portal and not the second left one. Oh bother.
A creature wrapped in white bandages with a maw full of jagged teeth and two beady yellow eyes is now walking, or more like hobbling, into the sorting room. Long, inesct-like arms peek out of his white cloak as he approaches the desk with the application. He eyes it suspiciously. The quill moves up and he backs away for a moment before tentatively walking toward it.
Maybe another shinigami was holding it...oh wait he could see other shinigami. It was the humans who couldn't see him, at least that's what he heard last time.
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
"Ahhh cheese. Cheese." Oh yeah, the stuff the mobsters had on their burgers. Burgers tasted weird. "Ummm the flat yellow stuff. The kind you put on sandwiches. Don't know what it's called."
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
"Carrottop, Barney doesn't have a name and lifespan so he's really useless to me, at least I can't see it. Maybe if I took his cloth helmet off I'd see it, but that would be too hard so I'll say Carrottop."
3. What time is it where you are?
"You know, now that I think of it, there's really no time in the shinigami realm. Of course there's human's lifespans which is a form of time, but I don't think anything like that applies to where I'm from."
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.
"Ummm...ahhh. sexually harass? I don't know if I'm even..." reaches into robes and produces a scroll-like paper. "No, I wouldn't be able to, it's Rule #36. But I think Harry's kind of cute, at least from the bookcovers."
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.
"Whoa, working in a bar might be fun, but no one would see me so that would be even funnier. How about 'Floating Bottles' henh henh."
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.
"Guys getting married? I guess it happens. Ummm...I guess that's Harry's decision. I really couldn't give a crap either way."
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.
"Maybe it's because you're really busy and you do a lot of stuff, or you are doing stuff for someone who does a lot of stuff. That made sense? Yeah!"
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
"I'm a shinigami, I'm not useless. I kill people by writing their name down, that's pretty awesome. I can also see people's names and lifespans, but I can't tell you what I see, the rules and all. I can pull helmets off of soldiers and keep watch. I'm really good at that.
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.
"Bribe?" shuffles around in cloak trying to find something. "Well I can kill people for you, but...wait...here we go" he pulls out four dog skulls. "I can give you these. They're lucky dog skulls, or that's what Zelloggi said when he gave them to me, but he seems to do pretty well with them.

I have read the [info]hogwarts_hocus rules and agree to abide by each and every one of them. Sidoh
I agree to be a good sport and not get my knickers in a bunch. Sidoh

(As a note, Sidoh does have the shinigami sight because...well...he's a shinigami, so he can see the true names of characters)
