Hakkai Cho, Saiyuki
*A young man in his early twenties enters the Sorting Room with a bright smile, bowing slightly from the waist. His black hair seems a bit messy, his bangs only slightly obscuring the striking green eyes peering at the room from behind a pair of glasses. It would only be on much closer inspection that one might be able to note something strange, even slightly unnatural, about his right eye. Three silver cuffs are clipped tightly on his left ear, and a small white dragon with red eyes is perched on his shoulder, chirping softly. Despite his rather unconventional pet, the young man seems to be mostly average at first glance.*
*He smiles softly, now, in muted embarrassment.* Excuse me, I'm sorry to be a bother, but I'm looking for my friend; he wandered-off into the night after a rowdy night of drinking. (I'm afraid I, ah, drank him under the table. I really ought to have stopped him after the twelfth shot. . .) And I believe Sanzo is here as well? Oh dear, that likely means I ought to apologize -- perhaps belatedly? -- on behalf of my companions for any trouble they may have caused.
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
Oh, what a strange question. I'm afraid I don't really have much of a preference, really. That's not too odd, is it?
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
I suppose it really would depend -- have either of them first done something that would warrant a physical and violent reaction on my part? If not, then under normal circumstances, neither! However, if, say, one of them has recently threatened, assaulted, or even so much as hinted at doing harm to myself or any of my companions, I suppose I would have to incapacitate the bigger threat.
In short -- I'm afraid Mr. Carrot Top would be the first to go, though Mr. Barney wouldn't get much of a chance to sing an up-beat song about it, afterwards. ♥
. . . Ah ha ha, I was only joking, though perhaps it was in bad taste.
3. What time is it where you are?
Now that you ask, it seems to be rather late; I hope you'll please pardon me for the intrusion!
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.
That's . . . quite a colorful name for a group, but I must confess that I'm not quite familiar with any of its members. In any case, I don't believe I would be harassing any of them, sexually or otherwise. I wouldn't want to be sent back to the grave after some uncouth remark or touch, now would I?
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.
(Is it really necessary for it to be dark. . .?) I'm afraid I'm not very creative . . . hm, how about "Bottom's Up"? Oh, that's not very good, is it? How about "One More Shot"?
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.
I'm not acquainted with any of them personally, so I really have no opinion as to whom Harry ought to marry. If anything, I suppose Harry ought to do what feels right to him and follow his own instinct. . . . Though I will tell Fred and George to try to avoid (tw)incest. No matter how tempting it may seem, it can. . . get a bit messy, ha ha.
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, if you're simply disposing of it, rather than actually filling it out, I suppose your superiors realize you're not actually doing your work; consequently, they're probably trying to remedy this by sending the same forms back to the top of your "To do" pile. Perhaps you ought to do your assignments, rather than push them aside?
D. Hufflepuff - Prove you are not useless.
Ah-- *He blinks and falters for a moment, as though at a loss, but he regains his composure quickly.* I'm not entirely sure how to answer this question.
Well, I used to teach, but I'm afraid my number of students has dwindled down to just one person now, two if you include a certain red-head. I'm able to do a bit of healing, though it certainly isn't anything to brag about. I can more than handle myself in hand-to-hand combat and still keep a level-head as well (most of the time). But mostly. . . it might not seem like much, but I do manage to live my own life from day to day, which can be a difficulty for a lot of people, really.
And I also frequently find myself babysitting three big, boisterous, and extremely violent children, which really ought to count for something. Ah ha ha. . .
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.
I could offer you several empty beer cans with cigarette butts in them, but I suppose there's only an extremely select few who would actually find use for them.
Let's see, ah, I'm able to cook reasonably well (at least, Goku seems to enjoy my cooking -- though admittedly, he rather enjoys most anything edible), and I would be glad to cook something healthy for you if you'd like. I'm also something of a quick learner, so I could also offer my services as a tutor. Oh, and I'm rather good at cleaning rooms, offices, and entire houses, due to rather frequent practice, so if anyone -- student or professor -- would like, I'd be happy to organize your life work areas for you.
And I suppose, if it's all right with Hakuryu and the professors, we could take you on a ride or two around the school? *The dragon on his shoulder bobs its long, elegant neck and chirps an assent, and Hakkai smiles brightly in return.*

((OoC: Hakkai has been taken two to three years before the journey west, so he's living with Gojyo, and probably receiving assignments and jobs from Sanzo. Apped with permission from both Gojyo-mun and Sanzo-mun. :D Oh, and also, as far as I know, it's never shown in canon where or when Hakkai and Hakuryu meet, so I hope it's all right that Hakkai has him now.))
