Sarutobi Sasuke, from Samurai Deeper Kyo
((Apped with permission.
ETA: sorry for the slow replies. Between LJ being slow/down and my home 'net being down, I've only really been able to reply from work. :/))
Sasuke’s wooden geta clacked on the stone floor and echoed faintly as he stepped into the Sorting Room and glanced around. He wasn’t concerned about making noise-he wanted to announce his presence, this time. With his white hair and bright golden eyes with elliptical pupils he was bound to stand out in his own world, but perhaps not so much at Hogwarts.
Spotting the quill and parchment, he moved closer to investigate.
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
“I don’t know what that is.”
He watched with interest as the Dictaquill dutifully marked down his response.
“Interesting... Is this some new technique-?”
He frowned at the quill as it continued writing. So it wasn’t exactly sentient, or if it was, it was a bit dim.
“You didn’t need to record that, it wasn’t relevant to the question.”
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
“I would kill whomever I’m assigned to.” He allowed a small smile. “Or the one who would offer the better challenge. Why not both of them?”
3. What time is it where you are?
It had been 1604, last he knew, but it didn’t occur to him to mention the year. “It appears to be afternoon in this place.”
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.
“Even if I knew what this Order of the Phoenix was-which, based on this alone, I suspect I don’t want to-the answer would be no one.” He made a face. “What sort of question is that?”
One Yukimura would undoubtedly appreciate.
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.
Another question that really couldn’t apply to him.
“Aokigahara, I suppose,” he decided, shrugging his thin shoulders. “The décor would be... very... green, in honour of being named after a great forest.”
He looked a little concerned.
“But I wouldn’t make a good proprietor,” he quickly added. “My most frequent customers would expect all of their sake to be free, and I’d be out of business within weeks.”
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.
“Who are these people? Are they not in arranged marriages? It seems very impractical to ask advice from someone who doesn’t know them or their families. Introduce us first, then I might be able to offer more informed advice.”
He skipped the mythologies part because he didn’t have an argument to make.
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.
“Instead of constantly disposing of your desk, you ought to sit down at it and do your paperwork. Then perhaps you won’t be so inundated, as you say.”
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
“I am the leader of the Sanada Juuyuushi, and I serve my master faithfully,” he said and raised his chin slightly. That was proof enough of his worth as far as he was concerned.
There was also the fact the Muramasa sword, Shibien, had chosen him as its master, but he thought it best to keep that to himself for the time being.
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.
All Sasuke had with him was a kendama and Shibien, as well as an odd-looking bow slung across his back. None of which he was willing to part with. So, for something more intangible...
“I can offer you my services as a shinobi,” he said, “for whatever small task you might need, mind you, I’m not going to pledge my life to you. It already belongs to another. This is also assuming he doesn’t object to whatever you’ll ask of me.”
Unless it sounded interesting enough, maybe. Then he might do it even without Yukimura’s consent.
"I have read the hogwarts_hocus faq, and understand it is a crazy, cracktastic sorting community and RPG. SS
I have read the hogwarts_hocus rules and agree to abide by each and every one of them. SS
I agree to be a good sport and not get my knickers in a bunch. SS
One day, marmalade will rule the world. SS"
