Ooh, this looks fun!
Death of the Endless, Neil Gaiman's Sandman:
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
Cheese! I love cheese. Gosh, what's my favorite--that's a toughie. I like the softer, milder cheeses. Give me a good Havarti or Gouda any day.
Nah, scratch that. Velveeta. Everyone hates to admit it, but you've gotta love Velveeta.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
Well, I don't actually kill; I just take beings when their time has come. Carrottop, being human, is more my domain than Barney, who's more of an idea in a big, plush suit. You can blame my brother Dream for him.
3. What time is it where you are?
The computer I'm at says 12:05 AM, but you'll have to take that with a grain of salt, since I'm sort of everywhere at once.
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.
Ha! There's a fun one. I think maybe Snape; he needs someone to loosen him up, you know?
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.
What was the name of that one tavern I dragged Dream to once upon a lifetime? Did it even have a name? Ah, screw it--how about "The Kindly Ones"? That's suitably Gothy, isn't it?
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.
Well, the twins are a couple of tricksters, so let's say Fred is Loki and George is Puck, while Harry is your standard Greek hero (which might bode ill for him, poor kid). We'll say he's Perseus. Since Perseus is a demigod, it might make more sense for him to marry a god, which would mean he'd end up with Loki. Er, Fred. On the other hand, a hero like Perseus probably wouldn't put up with Loki's shenanigans, so Loki might end up headless, leaving Perseus--Harry--with Puck/George. BUT while Puck is a somewhat-male fairy (hard to say), Loki's been known to be female occasionally, and assuming Perseus-Harry is heterosexual, given Andromeda and all, he'd probably go for Loki. Of course, fairies can change their shapes and glamours, so he might be attracted to Puck after all. Overall, I think Harry will end up with Ginny if he ends up with anyone.
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.
Because my little sister Delirium has been playing with you. Or didn't you notice all the flying fish?
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
Oh, I'm very useful. Death is the other side of life. You can't be born without starting the process of dying. But it's okay, you know? You're born, you live, and you die, closing the circle--and then you move on. You can't have life without death, and you can't have death without new life. Without me? Nothing truly lives.
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.
Hm, let's see--if nothing in my apartment really grabs your fancy, maybe I could sneak into Dream's library and fetch that book you have inside you that you never quite got around to writing. That sound good?
That was so much fun! I can't wait to see where you put me.
