hh_mirror((OOC: I looked everywhere and found no other characters from this fandom - if I missed someone, please let me know ASAP! I am playing Lady Penelope as a blend of TV canon backstory and the movie characterization, mostly because I don’t want to play a 4-foot-tall marionette, no matter how stylish she is. :D ))
A lovely blonde woman enters the Sorting room elegantly, her demeanor confident and seemingly relaxed, although the astute observer would note her quick and experienced assessment of the room and the ready-for-anything lines of her body. She is not so much dressed as gloved in a silvery, ‘space-age’ bodysuit trimmed in pale pink.
“Jeff? Alan? Virgil?” A timy frown line appears between her brows but is quickly smoothed out. “Parker?”
She sighs gently at the lack of response. “I knew investigating that black hole would be a bad idea, improved shields or not.” Touching a complex-looking watch on her wrist, she winces briefly at the burst of static that emanates from it. “Thunderbird 5, come in. John?” Static. “Thunderbird 3, this is Penny. Anyone there?”
The only response is the fluttering of a piece of parchment and a quill as they land in front of her. “Well. What’s all this, then?”
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
Let’s see, now… it rather depends with what one serves it. I do enjoy a nice Wensleydale, perhaps with a newish white wine. With a hearty red I would prefer a Sage Derby, I think.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
Oh, dear, that’s something of a poser. Barney’s message at least attempts to be positive, poor thing, and one can’t always help it if one is made to be pret-a-porter. On the other hand, Carrottop seems to me to be nothing short of a lunatic, and I often find the lunatic fringe in the pay of the Hood. So if I simply *must* kill one or the other, I would have to say Carrottop’s for the chop.
3. What time is it where you are?
I’ve no idea. I thought it was approaching nine pip emma, but I see my watch isn’t working properly.
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.
What sort of question is this? Sexually harass? Indeed not!
I take this Order of the Phoenix to be some sort of secret society? I have had some experience with those; do they fight for good or ill? The name Phoenix seems to have a positive connotation…
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.
Parker generally tends bar for me, so I’m afraid I’m not very qualified. I would name it the FAB1, however.
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.
But why marry at all, unless there’s some sort of legal situation that requires it? Why not simply love both and be happy? I give you Guinevere, forced to choose by the mores of her time between Arthur and Lancelot. Yet all three *could* have been happy, for each loved the other; instead they doomed Camelot through deceit and disloyalty. I say Harry, whoever he may be, should keep his independence and love whom he chooses.
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 need a Parker, my friend. And possibly a team of solicitors.
D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.
Well, I am the head of International Rescue in England, and I’ve helped to save the world from the demented fancies of a hooded megalomaniac on several occasions. Does that help?
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.
Although I seem to have temporarily misplaced my driver, I’ve a lovely fleet of amphibious flying cars, some of them convertible, some not; perhaps you would enjoy the use of one?
I’ve plenty of couture which I am most willing to share, provided your complexion is conducive to rosy pastels.
Creighton-Ward Manor has a large and varied wine cellar, so I am certain I could secure a vintage to your taste.
I could perhaps teach some self defense to anyone who was interested.
On the estate I breed English bulldogs; perhaps you would like one?
And I feel sure Jeff Tracy would not mind if I brought a few guests to stay on Thunderbird Island, provided you are willing to enter into a pact of secrecy.

Date: 2007-01-13 05:53 pm (UTC)He considered the things Penny had offered for her bribe. "Those amphibious flying vehicles sound interesting. Could you tell me a bit more about them? My dad once had a flying car, and we stole it once to...well, to steal Harry from his aunt and uncle's house. Flying it was brilliant. Wouldn't mind another of those. So it can fly and go under water, too? Like...in the lake? I've always fancied a bit of a meeting with the giant squid. I'm thinking his ink might be useful for some Concealing Potions. Might help us with the prototype of an Invisibility Cloak we're trying to develop."

Date: 2007-01-13 06:12 pm (UTC)*rummages in her pack for a set of keys* Here you are. Four buttons on the fob, as you see. First one summons the car, second for lock/unlock, third for shields and weapons, fourth to toggle between road/sub/air mode. Do bring it back in one piece, will you?
*She depresses the first button; after a few minutes there is a low hum outside the Sorting room window. With a grin, Penny gestures to the hovering car as if to say 'help yourself'.*

Date: 2007-01-13 07:29 pm (UTC)Fred's thoughts were interrupted by the sound outside the window. Briskly, he strode over there and looked down.
Well, it was pink, but that really didn't matter, because that car? Was completely...
"Wicked!"
Fred stared for a while before turning back to Penny, grinning excitedly. "That car looks absolutely brilliant! What sort of weapons has it got?" Fred wasn't particularly interested in weapons of the harmful variety, but he reckoned he could probably charm them to do things like shoot jelly or pudding at people. Excellent!
"That definitely merits a vote into the house of your choice. Any idea where you'd like to go?"
no subject
Date: 2007-01-13 08:22 pm (UTC)It has the usual sorts of evil-fighting devices, you know: laser, missiles, machine gun, repulsor shields. I'm rather hoping you won't need the weapons, as they're fingerprint encrypted; but the Hood being sort of unpredictable and FAB1 being rather recognizable, if you do run into a jam just give me a jingle on the dashboard communicator and I'll give you the override.
It does, however, have a completely F.A.B. sound system, so do bring your music along. And don't forget to pop on the oxygen if you go underwater or into high altitude.
I'm trusting you with FAB1, Fred - I feel sure I can trust your choice of house.
Vote: Gryffindor
Date: 2007-01-13 09:07 pm (UTC)The sound system was especially appealing, and he considered what music he would bring along. Definitely The Weird Sisters, that was for sure. And definitely not Celestina Warbeck. That was his mum's territory, not his.
"Well, the best house of all is Gryffindor," he continued, "so I'll vote you there. I think you'll fit in quite well. That's where George and I live, too, so if you ever need anything - especially if it's related to fireworks, pranking, jokes, and general mayhem - let us know and we'll give you a good price." He grinned widely at Penny. "Thanks again! I think this has got to be one of the best bribes I've ever seen!"
Re: Vote: Gryffindor
Date: 2007-01-14 12:08 am (UTC)*laughing* And do bring it back sometime, will you?
Re: Vote: Gryffindor
Date: 2007-01-14 02:41 am (UTC)"Oh, I'll bring it back sometime for sure, but if you'd like it back sooner than that sometime, just send me an owl and I'll make sure to get it right over!"
