Application for Castiza, The Revenger's Tragedy
And where was this place? No sooner had her family been reconciled, than they'd faced Antonio's wrath, that Vindici had dared brave the deeds that had increased that fickle lord's holdings. It took little imagination to guess at what fate awaited them, and yet she was here, in a room too drab for the Duke's liking even in a dungeon. Some oubliette of Antonio's, perhaps, were it not overlarge.
"Who's there?" she called out, mustering her nerve. If she were a captive, surely she would be guarded, and a guard might be loose-tongued enough to ease her fears, or worsen them. She paced the length and width of the room, approaching the desk with a peculiar sense of trepidation.
State your full name. "Is Castiza not name enough, that you think I ought to have cozened a title at the cost of myself?" Pride and disdain shone clear on her face, even as she shrank back from the floating quill.
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
It was so baffling a query that she thought she must have misread. "What manner of jailers are you, then, to seek to know what dainties might tempt me? I like well any cheese, so long as it be wholesome."
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
"I am no assassin," she said tightly. It was true in fact, although it weighed in her heart that she'd have struck down the old Duke and all his sons with her own hands had it fallen to that. Was villany like the pox, then, to spread so readily?
3. What time is it where you are?
With a gloomy shake of the head, Castiza scowled at the parchment. "Time? Why, it is only ever one time, and that too late."
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.
Eyes suddenly wide, she stepped back, fists clenching.
"I would change an answer, jailer. I said afore that I am no assassin. Do you give me the chance, I would make a liar of myself on the person of this Albus Dumbledore or this Sirius Black. I know them not, but I would cut out their lechery at the very root, that it may spare the maids they would have ruined."
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.
For all she had no wealth, to work as a barmaid seemed a rather perilous occupation to Castiza, and she sniffed. "I am no doxy, to work under night's shroud. Call it the crypt, then, for one day you might find me in the dark there."
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.
"Marriage?" she asked with an incredulous laugh. "I know no myths touching on honorable marriage, but tales of Jupiter transforming that he might surprise unfortunate maidens. Let them live in purity, then, if Harry's heart is not sufficiently moved to proclaim his beloved."
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.
She shrugged helplessly. "I know nothing of such matters. Were I a scribe or a clerk, I might be able to speak on't."
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
That question stung, and she wrapped her arms around herself. "In truth," she said softly, "I seem most useful at drawing strife and ruin."
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.
For good fortune or ill, this shook her from melancholy with a fresh burst of rage.
"Am I meant to offer a bribe to my jailers? Look not for the jewel Lussurioso sought to buy me with, for I kept it not. My treasure is my honor, and I'll offer that up when the sun rises in the west and rivers flow uphill."
