Application (Rarity, "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic")
((Done with Derpy Dipsy-mun's permission.))
The pony-sized unicorn who appeared in the Sorting Room gasped in dismay upon seeing her new surroundings. These walls, the table, the floor... "Oh no no no no, this won't do at all!" The interior decorating was a far cry from that of her native Equestria, where the buildings were as much confectionery as they were architecture.
She trotted from one wall to the next, her anxiety increasing. "Whoever decorated in here should be put on notice! No, this is awful. Ugh, that's what they decided to go with?" The table and chair that she finally reached simply got a shudder. But there was something on the table, and she supposed that it should be examined. With any luck it would be a letter giving her free rein over redecorating this awful room and a blank check. Her horn glowed softly as she levitated the parchment over to her, skimming over it and giving a moue of disappointment as it turned out to be nothing but a questionnaire.
State your full name.
Rarity struck a pose, of the type that made it look like she was very casually not posing but still managed to set her mane, tail, (both violet and expertly coiffed), cutie mark (triple blue diamonds), coat (glossy white), and horn off very well. "Rarity," she said, after a dramatic pause.
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
She smiled politely, though it was a little strained. "I'm not very fond of cheese, actually. In fact, if you're taking orders, could I perhaps get some dandelion greens instead? There's a dear."
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
"Kill?" One of Rarity's immaculately manicured front hooves flew to her chest as though covering her heart. "Darling, I wouldn't! Despite what some of my more physically inclined friends might think, violence is never a good first response to a situation, and something so horrible as... killing?" She seemed hardly able to get the word out, and shuddered delicately in revulsion. "Oh, I may faint."
3. What time is it where you are?
"Well, it's difficult to tell from in here, isn't it? Perhaps if you opened a window or installed a clock? Something tasteful and elegant. Right over... there." She pointed to a bare spot on the wall.
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.
Rarity's eyes widened, scandalized, and she covered her mouth with one hoof after a sharp intake of breath. "I beg your pardon, but that is an entirely inappropriate question to be asking anypony. I'm afraid I'll have to lodge a complaint after two questions of such... such... unseemliness!"
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 bartender? Me?" She laughed on the word bartender, drawing it out by several syllables. "Darling, I'm an artist! I design the very best clothing. I would be wasted mixing drinks! Especially in the dark, where nobody could properly appreciate the effort I put into making myself presentable."
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.
Her face lit up. "Is there to be a wedding? I love weddings! Have they picked their outfits yet? What about the wedding party? I can't abide a gaudy wedding party. I know, the happy couple are supposed to be the focus of the day, but really, if you're not going to put your full effort into every bit of the ceremony... well, I simply won't stand for it!" She daintily stamped a hoof for emphasis. "I'm sorry. What was the question again?"
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.
"Paperwork?" Rarity winced. "And it's... inundated, you say? Everywhere? Ahaha. Ha. Ehhh." Her nervous giggle trailed off in thinly veiled disgust.
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
"Of course I'm not useless, I own and operate the best clothing boutique in Ponyville! Possibly in all of Equestria. Everything I sell is of my own design. And let me assure you, it is no easy feat to know how to bring out the best in someone physically. The perfect look has to be representative of not only the outside of a pony, but the inside as well."
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.
"What else could do but a makeover?" The last was trilled in an excited sing-song. "Consider it my gift to whatever this place is. Certainly these--ugh--drab walls could use some beauty to brighten them up. And I'm just the pony to make sure that it's done right!"
"I have read the hogwarts_hocus faq, and understand it is a crazy, cracktastic sorting community and RPG. Rarity
I have read the hogwarts_hocus rules and agree to abide by each and every one of them. Rarity
I agree to be a good sport and not get my knickers in a bunch. Rarity
One day, marmalade will rule the world. Rarity"
