You seem a straightforward type from what I see... but would you take an unnecessary risk? If so, I'd say Gryffindor. Then again, you've also got that neverending Dark Tower quest, and that's either sheer ambition or pure stupidity...
I say Slytherin.

Gryffindor. It's not much of a bribe, but I've always thought resourcefulness was among the most important qualities, so good enough. In fact, you sound like you'd make a pretty good hitchhiker.

A bribe is little other than a trick. A distraction from the truth. It may come useful at times, but it's best not to rely.
Then again, I am a man of simple pleasures. A good hand-rolled smoke or campfire palaver will do it for me... but I don't think I can say the same for yon students.

Thankee for thy faith in my resourcefulness, sai Prefect. As one vagrant to another, I ken just how important it can be.

So I give myself, sais. Use me as you will.

Really. That's quite a...generous offer. I will have to think on it.

You seem straight-forward and have little time for nonsense. I have a feeling you're rather intelligent despite your terseness, but it doesn't seem like you're one for over-analyzation, so that rules out Ravenclaw. Your rather trusting offer of yourself immediately eliminates Slytherin. Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, I believe. Tell me, what's more important to you: justice or friendship?

If it were my choice alone, friendship.
But the winds of Ka often blow contrary to any man's personal desires, and justice is the code of the gunslingers. If I were to serve my own will above that of justice, or Ka, then I will have truly forgotten the face of my Father.

Such a sorting is a deep trust in itself, sai Goodchild, and we all have endured it. We open up our souls to those who would see it and judge. Giving myself over to preform tasks, compared to that, is nothing. It requires little trust, apart from that of my own abilities to survive in a world that would see me dead.

Eloquently put. Your devotion to duty makes me think Hufflepuff for you. I must admit that you intrigue me...I will be interested to see you about the community.

If you're offering what I think you're offering, Ravenclaw.

What am I offering, pray tell?

Well, it kind of sounds like you're a gigolo. I wouldn't mind experiencing some of this resourcefulness, if you know what I mean.

Such a thing isn't entirely alien to my experience... if sex is what you want, I have no qualms.

Anysuch, doing it myself no longer works as well as it once did. Damn lobstrosities bit the best fingers off of my dominant hand.

Wait... if I understand you correctly, you're saying you're pressured by supernatural forces and have to kill people?

Um.

So you'd shoot me if I asked you to?

I think you belong in Gryffindor. But I'm not quite sure.

In a way of speaking, perhaps.
Ka is no supernatural force, if you kennit... perhaps you would call it fate. It's the way thing are, the way they will be, and the way they have been. It flows inexorably.

If it is Ka that one shall die, sobeit. We are all it's minions, and only the foolish resist it.

I'm not altogether certain I can die, actually.

You just sound so... so certain. Believing. I've only seen that sort of conviction once before. It's a slightly uncomfortable memory.

"There is no more dangerous man than one who believes what he says"

No death? I mourn for your soul, and share your sorrow. I've lived too long already, and yet find no reason to die.
