Michael Garibaldi ((B5, application, open rp))
Just five more minutes. He had five more minutes before his shift was over and he’d be able to retreat to his quarters with a hot pizza and 4 or 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Things were finally going his way.. which had him worried. Because when things went his way, it meant that something was gonna go wrong, something always went horribly, catastrophically wrong. It was just the way the universe ran. Something going right? Time to screw with Garibaldi.
He stepped through the doors, intent on making one last sweep through Brown Sector before calling it a night. His boot caught on a rock and sent him sprawling.
See? Things were already going awry. And what the hell was a rock doing on a space station?
Muttering angrily to himself, Garibaldi got to his feet and swore. He wasn’t in Brown Sector - he was in some sort of.. castle? He touched the link on the back of his hand. “Garibaldi to C&C.” No reply. Even better.
State your name.
He eyed the dictaquill warily. “Michael Garibaldi, Chief of Security. Mind telling me what the hell is going on?” The quill steadfastly ignored his question and hovered expectantly by the second question.
“Good, real mozzarella. None of that dry, rubbery artifical crap. You want a good soft cheese with just enough spring to it.” Damnit, he was hungry.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
“I think the more important question is who’d win in a fight. The Rabbit or the Duck. I've always been partial to the Duck. Ya see, in a fight..”
He rambled on for about twenty minutes about the virtues of each cartoon character and how they would stack up in a fight, his eyes shifting around to see if his stalling would finally encourage someone to show up and explain what was going on, or if he was having some kind of weird dream. Finally he gave up. “I’d take out one, then the other.”
“It was time for me to go back to my quarters and get some sleep, but that doesn’t look like it’s gonna be happening anytime soon,” he groused.
He blinked and stared at the question. “Look, if you’re into undead sexual harassment, that’s your thing buddy, but leave me out of it."
He rubbed the back of his neck, visibly uneasy. “Bars and me.. we ah, we don’t mix. I tend to go in ‘em and not come back out. There’s one in Down Below that’s called ‘The Laughing Narn’.. it’s a good enough name.”
Garibaldi snorted. “Look, I’m the last person you should ask when it comes to relationships. Ever. I screw ‘em up before I manage to get too far along.”
“Find someone who works for you and give him all the paperwork. Or just keep filing it. Sooner or later, they get tired of sending it to you.”
Exasperated, he tapped his link again. No response. Figures. He tried pinching his hand. Nope, not dreaming.
“Look, I’m the head of security for Babylon 5, a damned big station. I have to contend with the usual criminal element in Down Below, wrangle the different aliens in Green Sector, there are renegade telepaths to deal with, EarthGov causing us no end of headache and we’re in the middle of a war with the Shadows. If anyone can keep the station from falling into utter chaos and somehow manage to stay sane at the end of the day.. I’d say I’m doin a pretty damn good job.”
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.
He rummaged in his pockets, “Um, I have a credit chit, which doesn’t look like it’ll do a hell of a lot of good here, my PPG and no, you can not have that. If you have a decent kitchen I can whip up some bagna cauda or a halfway decent pizza - as long as it’s the real stuff. I can’t do much with the fake crap.”

- What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
“Good, real mozzarella. None of that dry, rubbery artifical crap. You want a good soft cheese with just enough spring to it.” Damnit, he was hungry.

- What time is it where you are?
“It was time for me to go back to my quarters and get some sleep, but that doesn’t look like it’s gonna be happening anytime soon,” he groused.
- 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.
He blinked and stared at the question. “Look, if you’re into undead sexual harassment, that’s your thing buddy, but leave me out of it."
- If you are pushing to be in:
- Slytherin - please state the clever, witty name of the bar in which you bartend, in the dark.
He rubbed the back of his neck, visibly uneasy. “Bars and me.. we ah, we don’t mix. I tend to go in ‘em and not come back out. There’s one in Down Below that’s called ‘The Laughing Narn’.. it’s a good enough name.”
- 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.
Garibaldi snorted. “Look, I’m the last person you should ask when it comes to relationships. Ever. I screw ‘em up before I manage to get too far along.”
- 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.
“Find someone who works for you and give him all the paperwork. Or just keep filing it. Sooner or later, they get tired of sending it to you.”
- Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
