Application: Sephiroth (The Final Fantasy VII Compilation)
(Sephiroth is taken post FFVII:ACC. His appearance in Kingdom Hearts I class as having happened just after DoC. His insanity is therefore at a mostly manageable level where he won’t attack everyone just for breathing. It also provides a reason for his appearing at Hogwarts without freaking. <3 Additionally I’m going with the theory that Sephiroth and Jenova have long since fused and become one mind.)
Reality rippled and churned, turned inwards and shrunk in on itself until there was a hole in the wall of time. The void spread, widened as if taking a breath and rumbled like the sound of distant thunder. A man burst forth from the void, seeming to suddenly appear in the space of a split second.
Void closing behind him, the man cast his eye around the room, up at the ceiling and then down to every little crevice of the room. Memorised, all of it, within that split second all foot holds and minute cracks within the brickwork and flooring. Iridescent green eyes fixed on the table, the paper there.
Had he been expected? Even in this world?
He stepped forward and picked up the parchment with a leather-clad hand. An eyebrow quirked in curiosity. He adjusted his hold on his sword, alert though he concerned himself with the parchment for the moment.
State your full name.
“Sephiroth,” he said, voice deep and smooth. Like a purr. He looked up for a moment, considering whether to add his other titles.
“Once General Sephiroth, I am now the Nightmare... Heaven's Dark Harbinger... The Calamity from the Sky...”
He watched the quill float up and begin to write his words. Ah, so there would be the explanation for the magic he could taste on the back of his tongue. Sour, and so much of it. It leaked from the castles very walls. He found nothing unusual about that.
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
Both eyebrows rose this time. He took a moment to think back to the time he was last corporeal, before he’d found Mother and joined her on the path to their destiny. “I have...only ever had the cheese they served in the cafeteria and mess hall.”
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
He tilted his head a little. “The phrasing seems to suggest that both must be killed. Barney would be first, then Carrottop.”
3. What time is it where you are?
He took a moment to survey his surroundings, using enhanced senses to source the time. Everything from the smell of the air of the creak of wood told him of the weather, the temperature, the humidity. Together, he decided on a time. “0013 hours.”
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.
Sephiroth was no stranger to returning from the dead. The question did not phase him in the slightest. Who was being mentioned, however, he hadn’t the slightest idea.
“I don’t care,” he said simply, and moved on.
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.
These questions were testing what of his memory he had retained.
“The Honeybee Inn,” he decided eventually.
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 question he didn’t fully understand.
“Whomever he find the most suitable,” he supplied, skirting around answering the question.
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.
As an ex-general of an army which had brought the entire world under one rule, Sephiroth understood paperwork. And loathed it. But that was long since behind him.
“You are not efficient enough.”
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
His leather jacket creaked as he lowered the parchment. Prove his usefulness?
He held up his sword. “She is not merely for show but if she is not enough then shall I provide you with a small example?”
With his Seal materia he cast Silence. The quill dropped to the floor and all magic around him simply evaporated. After a few seconds the spell released and the quill rose once more, shaking itself a little and flicking ink at Sephiroth’s boots in irritation.
Sephiroth glared at it until it went back to the parchment and gestured for him to continue impatiently.
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.
Sephiroth hummed gently, then reached into his sword’s bracer and removed a glowing ball, which he placed on the table. The ball was about the size of a fist, exuded a faint red light. More Materia. “A mastered Ifrit summon. He heals just as much as he burns all.”
