Gatewater Hotel Courtyard... or is it?
A large blue ball bounces into the Sorting Room. It's just a child's ball, really - the only distinctive feature is the Steel Samurai logo on it. But the small pink blur running in after it is not just a small pink blur. Which becomes obvious when the ball bounces off the leg of the desk of applications and rolls to a stop.
It is, in fact, a small girl, who freezes the second she picks up the ball and notices her surroundings. This is obviously not where she meant to be. "Hello?" she asks, tentatively. "Mystic Maya? Mr. Nick?" The Dictaquill jumps up at her voice. Noticing the movement, she clambers onto the chair and peers at the application on the desk, laboriously trying to piece out all the words.
Fortunately, in her case, the questions are read aloud. Otherwise she'd be at it for a very long time.
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
"Cheese? I didn't eat a lot of cheese in Kurain Village," Pearl says, thinking. "But I got to try the cheese that Mystic Maya puts on her burgers once. It was very good, although it's not healthy to eat too much cheese." She watches the quill write, fascinated.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
Pearl looks horrified. "I wouldn't! If somebody did, I'd help Mr. Nick find out who the murderer was, but I would never kill anybody. Even if Barney or Carrot-top were bad people," she adds, pronouncing the unfamiliar names slowly and carefully.
One of the good things about her ridiculously sheltered childhood is that she has never been exposed to either, and not even Maya's weird tastes are broad enough to appreciate Carrottop.
3. What time is it where you are?
"It was three o'clock when I went out to the courtyard," Pearl recalls. "But I don't see a clock, so I don't know."
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.
"Returned from the dead? Oh, you mean if a spirit medium channelled this Dum-bull-door person? But I don't think someone would channel them if they were going to do bad things. A medium has to be very careful about that." She pauses. "...I don't know what it means to 'secks-you-all' harass someone, either."
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.
"But I don't like the dark," Pearl protests. "I don't know how to bartend either. I think a tea shop would be nice, though. I'd call it The Mystic's Dream."
Why, no, she hadn't come up with this name before while indulging in a bout of hopeless romantic fantasy. Why do you ask?
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.
For once, Pearl seems very sure about her answer. "He should marry whichever one is his special someone. Everybody has one, you just have to be ready and accept your feelings instead of denying them!"
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.
"You're a lawyer like Mr. Nick! His desk is always covered in paper. You can barely see the desk at all. You should get a secretary who can sort it out for you. Like Mystic Maya does, and then you might be closer to finding your special person too only she's not so neat either."
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
"I may be small, but I'm not useless," Pearl insists. "I'm training to be a spirit medium, and Mother said I was a prodigy. Someday I'll be almost as good as Mystic Maya! And I helped Mr. Nick find out who the real murderer was when Mystic Maya was kidnapped. I know I can't read very well, but I'm getting better!"
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.
"A bribe?" She sounds out the unfamiliar word. "Isn't that a bad thing? I don't have anything to give, but... I guess you can have my ball if you really want something?"
She clutches the ball to her chest like a lifeline, big brown eyes wide and worried. "Can I go now? Mr. Nick and Mystic Maya will be worried."
I have read the hogwarts_hocus faq, and understand it is a crazy, cracktastic sorting community and RPG. Pearl
I have read the hogwarts_hocus rules and agree to abide by each and every one of them. Pearl
I agree to be a good sport and not get my knickers in a bunch. Pearl
One day, marmalade will rule the world. Pearl
