Application: Death the Kid - Soul Eater
Death the Kid adjusted the lapels of his jacket briefly as he walked into the Sorting Hall with an expression of reverence. The decor met with his approval- for the most part.
"This room, it's set up beautifully!" As he glanced upwards, his smile shifted to a frown of concern. "Those candles though, they should really be realigned in a more organized manner."
The parchment and quill soon caught his attention, and he approached both curiously. "What's this? He scowled and put a hand to his chin as he examined the quill's handiwork. "I suppose this lettering is adequate." Had it been recording his observations in an unsatisfactory manner, he would have had to put a stop to it.
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
Regarding the question with a frown, Kid came up with an answer after a moment of pondering. "As close as rollot is to a palindrome, the fact that the name contains only seven letters makes it unacceptable. As such, my choice is acapella, for multiple reasons. First, it is made in America, my home country. Second, it has eight letters, as I mentioned earlier. Thirdly, it comes in the form of a pyramid. Pyramids are wonderful shapes- reminiscent of Egyptian architecture, which is very symmetrical."
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
Kid raised an eyebrow at the question. "I don't know either of these people, but should either of them walk the path towards becoming a Kishin and consume an innocent soul, they would of course need to be dealt with properly."
3. What time is it where you are?
"The time is currently 8:24 in the evening. Sixteen minutes past one of the most wonderful times of the day."
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.
The shinigami hesitated in a state of awkward confusion. "I don't believe I would sexually harass any members of the Order of the Phoenix." He chose to focus on the first part of the question instead. "Returning from the dead is an interesting proposition however."
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.
"A clever, witty bar name?" Kid read the query aloud. He folded his arms as he considered various options before deciding upon the perfect name. "I don't actually bartend, but if I did, I would have to name the establishment One Over the Eight. The phrase comes from the outdated idea that a man could consume eight beers before becoming too inebriated to function normally." Kid shook his head as he admitted with a smile. "I doubt it would take that many these days, but I don't have much experience with the subject in any case. The name still appeals to me, as the idea of anything over eight is clearly too many."
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.
This was another question that made Kid pause. "Again, I don't know any of these people. Is it alright if I skip this question?" After a moment of silence, he decided to at least make an effort. "Both of them have an even number of letters in their name, so there's no advantage there. The name Fred is rather close to that of Freya, the Norse goddess of wealth, war, fertility and sex. Whereas George could be linked to the parton Saint George of England, known for his legendary slaying of a dragon." At this point he realized he'd gotten off on a bit of a tangent. So, he shrugged and ended simply with, "I suppose it depends on what characteristics Harry values."
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.
"Ah this is something that plagues my Honorable Father from time to time." Closing his eyes, Kid nodded wisely. "Personally it would not be a problem that would bother me much, unless said paperwork is in a state of disarray. Do you need someone to help organize it? It would be my pleasure."
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
"Useless? Well, as the son of Shinigami-sama, I certainly try my best to not be useless. Though, my hair continues to be a source of shame...." His confidence faltered and he hung his head dejectedly. "I'm fairly certain I remembered to fold the toilet paper correctly before leaving the house, but...." His voice trailed off as he became more upset. "But what if I didn't? And what if the candles are not burning at equal rates? I, am useless!" Severely traumatized now, he fell to the ground, clutching his head. "I'm sorry! I'm entirely useless, worthless, trash...."
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 took some time for Kid to recover from his fit, but he eventually wiped away his tears and stood up once more. A bribe? What did he bring with him that he could part with? Not his skateboard- it was too vital for transportation. It wasn't wise to part with an Egg of the Kishin either- it may fall into the wrong hands. Finally, he made up his mind. "I have, a paper giraffe scuplture created by Patti, one of my weapons. I'm afraid it's rather broken though- she snapped its neck." After looking over the poor creature, he sighed. "Alternatively, I would gladly help anyone rearrange his or her room to be fully symmetrical. That, or fix one's eyebrows to make them more aesthetically pleasing."
"I have read the hogwarts_hocus faq, and understand it is a crazy, cracktastic sorting community and RPG. Death the Kid
I have read the hogwarts_hocus rules and agree to abide by each and every one of them. Death the Kid
I agree to be a good sport and not get my knickers in a bunch. Death the Kid
One day, marmalade will rule the world. Death the Kid"
