Application - Herr Drosselmeyer from Princess Tutu

May 03, 2010 19:12

((OOC: To avoid godmodding issues, Drosselmeyer's canonical story spinner abilities (i.e., writing stories that come true) have been voided by the magic of Hogwarts. Of course, he can surely find other ways to mess with people's lives...))An old and eccentric man strode through the Sorting Room doors, a red cloak flowing from his hunched shoulders ( Read more... )

Someone after her own heart. Sage read the application with a slow grin spreading over her face- laughing aloud at "The Grave."
She curtsied to him. "Are you a writer?" she asked. "Do you like Anne Rice?"

Drosselmeyer smiled and tipped his hat in return to Sage's curtsy. He could get used to this kind of fame--people apparently liking him instead of constantly calling him out on using people as puppets for his own entertainment. Though he did so love drawing out those sorts of visceral reactions.

"I am indeed a writer, Miss. But I am sorry to say that I have not heard of Anne Rice. Perhaps you could tell me more?"

"She's a writer. Ah- maybe not the best ever but pretty good. She mostly does supernatural stuff. But what do you write- mostly tragedy?

Oh- and welcome to Hogwarts. You probably realize you're at a school of magic."

"I am very partial to tragedy, I do confess. I also enjoy working with the material of fairy tales, and I have a healthy appreciation for the storytelling tradition of ballets." Drosselmeyer smiled, stroking his beard thoughtfully. "I suppose we do share a bit of an interest in supernatural and magical themes--my latest work included the twist of a duck who turns into a girl who turns into a princess."

He sat up straighter in his chair, his eyebrows slightly raised in attentive curiosity. "I hadn't heard. Hogwarts School of Magic," he mused. "I suppose everyone here has certain talents, then?" Although it was a shame he couldn't currently use his talent--bending reality towards his whims. But surely in a place like this Drosselmeyer would find other forms of entertainment.

"A storyteller? Oooooh! Would you do a puppet show for me?"

The Hat was a hat of simple pleasures.

"I presume that I am addressing the Sorting Hat, the very author of this fine story I've found myself in?" Drosselmeyer smiled in what he felt was a charming manner and tipped his own hat, gaudily adorned with several colorful plumes, in respect. "I would be delighted to give you a show, either way. But I'm afraid I'm rather poorly equipped at the moment." What with Edel and her organ burned into ruins, and Uzura not having followed him here, and his characters all beyond his reach ( ... )

"I like owls the best," the Hat confided.

"Hm. That does present a bit of a problem." Drosselmeyer manipulated the raven's wings into a drooping position, then rubbed a hand against his chin. "But, with a bit of time and the proper resources, I assure you that I could make quite a tidy little puppet theater, and several very fine owls, and the perfect play to accompany them. What kinds of stories do you prefer?"
