A boy of about fourteen is deposited in the middle of the Sorting room in a dazzling array of futuristic FX. He picks himself up, points a grey bit of plastic at the colours, and they slowly fade. He grabs an application and fills it in.
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
...Dave goes to some weird places now. Um, ok...I like the cheese in France--or, really, we get it from France, it loses its flavour getting over here--but fresh? It's great.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
I didn't ever see Carrottop, but I sure as hell hated Barney.
3. What time is it where you are?
It was four pm when this finally worked. *flashes the plastic thing* What time's it now?
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.
...yeah. Is this a crackhouse? Is Dave a druggie?
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.
The de Winter cavern. God knows it's dark enough.
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.
...I'm sorry, can someone tell me where I am? Because this question is completely my century, but the rest? Not so much.
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.
*smirks, just like his brother* You haven't put anything from theory to practice yet. *shrugs* Take a leap of faith, God. What have you got to lose?
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
Invented time-travel. Invented...whatever this thing is. It tracks DNA through time, and space, and whatever else it needs to.
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.
*brightens* Oh, OK! Anything at my house. Hell, take it if you want. I'm with my Dad now. The de Winters can go sleep in a ditch for all I care.
