Amaterasu and Issun, from Ōkami
((Depending on how perceptive your character is, they'll see Amaterasu as either a regular white wolf roughly the size of a small pony, or see her god form, a white wolf with the strange red markings + whorls within her fur + the Divine Instrument (the shield looking thing with flames) she wears on her back. Characters might also recognize her as the Shinto sun goddess. "The Great Mother Okami Amaterasu."
Issun is a separate character, but since Amaterasu can't communicate with people on her own, he does the talking for her. It'd be really difficult to app Amaterasu without him, since they're a package deal. Modly types, let me know if it's not okay.))
Amaterasu had charged into the Devil Gate with the intention of battling more of the corrupting demons that plagued the earth. What she definitely hadn't been prepared for was the sudden drop of a few dozen feet, and a stone floor rising up to meet her.
She hit the ground hard and didn't immediately rise. After a few moments, she slowly lifted her head and shook it as though it might help her to orient herself. Several feet away, a tiny, glowing green sprite sat up and rubbed his head.
"Nice going, ya big furball!" the sprite, Issun, grumbled at the wolf. She offered a suitably apologetic-sounding whine as she stood up and made her way over to retrieve her Poncle friend, who reclaimed his perch atop her snout. Wherever Amaterasu stepped, grass and flowers began to sprout from right out of the stone.
"What is this place, anyway?" Issun wondered aloud, looking around the room. "Hey Ammy, what's that over on the table? Looks like it wants our attention."
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
"It wants to take our lunch order," Issun said, and started to hop in surprise when the quill transcribed his words. "Didja see that!? This kinda thing sure would come in handy."
Amaterasu tilted her head, wondering if the enchanted quill would be able to understand or even hear her.
"No good, Ammy. It only seems to work for me. Oh, and our order. How about a little of everything? The furball here has a huge appetite."
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
"...Maybe it isn't taking our lunch order after all," Issun said, sounding disappointed. "Well, do either of 'em demand human sacrifices? Me and my boss are good at getting rid of evil. Just point us in the right direction!"
3. What time is it where you are?
"There's a window right there! Ya don't need me to tell you it's daytime." Remembering he was addressing a quill, Issun amended: "Oh... I guess you don't have eyes."
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.
"Are any of them stacked babes? Heh heh heh," Issun chuckled to himself, a few stray hearts floating above his head. At Amaterasu's grumbling growl, the one she tended to issue prior to swallowing him, he stopped.
"Aw c'mon, furball. You're no fun. I'm just answering the questions."
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.
Issun contemplated it for a few moments. Amaterasu helped him along with a bark, and he started hopping again, apparently able to understand her.
"Of course! Sakuya," the Poncle said. "In honor of the wood sprite who sorta introduced us. Don't know if she'd be happy having a tavern named after her, but there ya go."
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.
They paused and looked at each other, neither one sure of how to answer.
"Mythology's full of damsels in distress who get hitched to the heroes who save 'em, right? I guess whoever's willing to save Harry from evil should be the one to marry... um, her."
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 quill, your desk should be covered in paperwork, shouldn't it?" Issun asked, but received no answer from the quill. He shrugged. "Maybe you're lazy and don't actually do the paperwork, then."
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
"This one's easy." Issun was bouncing on the wolf's head again. "Ammy, show it what you can do!"
Using her Celestial Brush (which no one could actually see, only witness the outcome), Amaterasu turned it from day to night and back again, called forth a galestorm outside the castle, followed by lightning, all in quick succession. Once the sky cleared again, she used her Celestial Brush to summon a field of grass and blooming flowers of all different kinds to fill the Sorting Room. A few sakura trees sprouted and grew as well, surrounding a small pond.
The change wasn't permanent, but for the time being, everything was very much tangible.
"Nice work, furball. And that's not even the half of it! She can even mend anything that's been broken."
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.
"It's been ages since we've lightened our load, hasn't it?" Issun said. "Let's show 'em what we've got!"
From her vast, magically expandable astral inventory paper fan Amaterasu summoned a few items she thought others might find useful. They arranged themselves in ordered rows around her, in the grass:
-exorcising arrows
-exorcism and vengeance slips of paper
-coral fragments
-various marked pouches of Yen, seeds, herbs, meat, and fish
-demon fangs
-a variety of beneficial scrolls (to deflect attacks, or make your own more powerful)
-loose Dragonfly and glass beads
-Japanese lacquerware sets of dishes
-jugs of sake
-a small, live river crab (Which promptly scuttled under the wolf to hide, so she obligingly fluffed her fur and settled onto it like a mother hen.)
-incense burners
-pinwheels from the famous windmill in Kusa Village
-loose pearls
-crystals
-bull horns
-a few dozen ripe oranges and apples
-a white porcelain pot
-Kutani pottery
-amethyst, jade, agate, ruby, turquoise, cat's eye, emerald, and sapphire tassels
-a silver pocket watch
-cherry cakes
"Geez, Ammy! No wonder you swim so slow, with all that junk weighing you down!"
Amaterasu sniffed dismissively at the Poncle and crouched down to start munching on one of the cherry cakes.
"I have read the hogwarts_hocus faq, and understand it is a crazy, cracktastic sorting community and RPG. A/I
I have read the hogwarts_hocus rules and agree to abide by each and every one of them. A/I
I agree to be a good sport and not get my knickers in a bunch. A/I
One day, marmalade will rule the world. A/I"
