Evi Carnahan, The mummy
Evelyn ‘Evi’ Carnahan,The Mummy
Last time she’d checked Evelyn had been in Egypt, head down over some really interesting hieratic inscriptions about portals and magic. Then she’d wiped some of the dust from her hair and looked down to find the floor was suddenly completely different. Evi stepped into the room cautiously and looked around; this certainly wasn’t an Egyptian tomb. She glanced out the window, yes definitely more England than Egypt but still not quite specific enough for her taste. She approached the centre of the room and the desk and paper. ‘How very odd’
N.B Setting this after the mummy but before the mummy returns. Seeing Ric but not yet married to him.
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
Well I’m rather fond of good old fashioned Cheddar but cheese is the absolute worst thing to export to all corners of the empire, doesn’t last at all. They do sell some rather fine goats cheese at the markets near the museum, if you know which vendors to buy from.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
Why on earth should I kill either of them? They haven‘t started raining down the plagues of Egypt on me have they? It’s very important to retain some perspectives on messy things like hate and killing. I reserve them for…very bad people.
3. What time is it where you are?
Well judging by the position of the sun on the stones, it’s...several hours later than when I last looked up from my dig. Of course the change of location and the sudden absence of sand did sort of tip me off.
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.
How on earth do you expect me to put myself in this man’s place when I’ve never met him? I don’t know, I suppose whichever one he was most attracted to, but really he ought not to harass any of them, he ought to offer to take the poor girl out to a nice old fashioned dinner. Saving them from ritual sacrifice also tends to turn a girls head.
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.
Well what jumps to mind immediately is “the golden book”. Hamunaptra just seems a little TOO much like tempting fate.
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.
World mythologies? I’m good at those *Beams* although it does seem that this would be rather more suited to the themes and legends of Greece rather than Egypt. The Greeks were far more into that man on man thing. Very strange if you ask me, but people are like that. At any rate there were some absolutely fascinating legends about Achilles and Patroclus. Achilles loved his partner so much that he broke all the taboos on the treatment of the dead in his anger at his death when he killed hector. I’m sorry, what was the original 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.
Well because you’re obviously not cataloguing these things properly. You need to alphabetise, and use the dewy code to separate the relevant subjects. It all gets so much easier if you organise these things. I could have a go if you like?
D. Hufflepuff ‘€“ Prove you are not useless.
Well I can read and write ancient Egyptian, and I can decipher hieroglyphics and hieratic. I can properly code and maintain a library. You’ve probably already got someone doing your cataloging round here though. I sort of helped save the world from a mummy who was throwing the ten plagues of Egypt around willy nilly, but that wasmostly partly my fault in the first place so it was only right that I help fix things. And well it’s not exactly proper but I’ve been learning some brawling from Ric. You know I really would have thought he’d have shown up by now’€¦
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.
Well I’ve never come across a description of this ‘Squibbing’ in my research but it doesn’t sound very nice at all, can’t be worse than those awful scarabs though. Still. Best not tempt fate. I’ve got a an archeologist's tool kit, a bag full of books on Egypt, *digs into the pocket of the coat she’s wearing* and some gold, I knew I had some on me. I can also work in your library, translate any hieroglyphics or hieratic you need working, or help organise your filing systems?
Ps: Right, cut should be working. Most of the spelling mistakes should have been weeded out. Note to self: rush jobs on posts meant for the public eye? Not a good idea. Sorry People, I can ACTUALLY rp I promise. *Looks very much abashed*
