Elwood Blues - The Blues Brothers
A man in his mid-twenties enters the hall, briefcase in hand, confused expression somewhat masked by a pair of sunglasses. Where the hell did the rest of the band go? He'll have to think about this. He's glad, at least, that he's got his briefcase and harmonica, and that there doesn't appear to be a force of cops waiting for him.
Stammering, he tries to explain himself, "Good evening there, folks. I'm, ah, I'm Elwood Blues, and it's very nice to make your acquaintance..."
He trails off, feeling foolish for having spoken, but the situation has confused him terribly. Before he can sort out the sitution, he finds himself confronted with a series of questions.
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite? I really don’t eat much cheese. I’m more of a “dry white toast” kind of guy, see. And I’d honestly be all right with a wish sandwich.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop? Look, I’m in enough trouble as it is. Not going to run out and kill anyone, all right? I mean, I’ve done some things I maybe shouldn’t have (still don’t see what was wrong with our reasons for all of it), but that’s going too far.
3. What time is it where you are?
Looks like it’s seven ten and about twenty-five seconds in the evening.
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.
Can’t we talk it out, be reasonable about it? I’d rather not force anything like that. See, if she was willing, I wouldn’t say no to the Tonks girl. She’s a nice-looking young lady, anyway. Might be that we could meet up at a motel somewhere.
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.
I’d rather drink than bartend… And why is it in the dark? Lights are useful, you know. And I’d rather be drinking and playing than bartending. Any chance we could get a gig with a bar somewhere around here?
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.
Er, I don’t really see why he should do either. That is, if he’s really torn, why’s he need to bother with getting married to ‘em? Seems like a whole lot of hassle, and doesn’t sound like it’d work out, anyway. Seen people get into a whole lot of trouble with marriage… I mean, it got Matt chained down and away from music (and, hell, it's always been about the music), and it almost got Jake killed. Guess I just don’t see much use in it.
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.
Sounds like you aren’t overly methodical about it. My brother Jake has the same problem-leaves a mess everywhere. It just doesn’t bother him. Maybe you like a some disorder? Me, I try to keep it clean. Er, except the glove compartment, but that’s not the same thing. Never know when some of that might prove its usefulness. And, no, it isn’t a bunch of worthless junk anymore than the car is. You gotta trust me, here. She's a real nice care.
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
Depends on what you think of as useful. I guess I'm what you'd call the silent type, but that doesn't make me particularly useless. Jake does most of the talking, anyway. I’ve been told I’m handy to have around, mostly as a driver. And I’m all right on my harp. You want to get, ah, sentimental, guess I’m always there for Jake, and he’s there for me. Mutual support, you know.
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.
The only thing I can come up with immediately is my watch. It’s not much, but it’s something… And, hey, here’s a pack of cigarettes, almost full. An aerosol spray can? Look, if you want anything more, I’ll need to go and get it. You want a car? All right. You show me the car, tell me about the car, and I’ll have it ready for you. Hell, you want anything, I’ll see what I can do about it, as long as you’ve got a good reason for it. Can’t be a huge loss to anyone who isn’t careful enough, right? Hopefully.
((OOC: Elwood is from--heyyyyy crazy--The Blues Brothers. Using the movie, novel, and private collection deal, as well as general bits of related information, for his character. Posties will be in varying POV, written any time up through the imprisonment begun at the film's end. Not going to be using anything from Blues Brothers 2000, as I haven't seen it and don't intend to. May just be pigheaded, but what the hell; just doesn't work for me. To me. Summit of that. ANYWAY. I may be around, I may not... School is just awesome like that. Ja.))
