Application: Robin of Loxley (Robin of Sherwood)

[hernes-son.livejournal.com]

((OOC: Did not see any other incarnation of Robin Hood, either active or inactive - if I missed something, please notify me!))


Current Application:

1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?

Cheese was a luxury in those days of trial; I cannot remember the last time I tasted it. When I was a boy we kept a few goats, and my mother would make a soft cheese from their milk – that I remember quite well. It was a luxury then too, but one to which she was glad to treat my father and me, before the Sheriff’s men came. So that is my favorite, I think.

2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?

If either is in league with the Sheriff or with Gisbourne he will find himself on the wrong side of my bow.

3. What time is it where you are?

Time does not matter in the Great Forest.

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.

I do not know of this Order, but if there is a red-haired woman with both beauty and fire, she should have my attention, of a certainty, though I force myself on no woman.

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.

I would call it the Silver Arrow, and I would serve the finest dark brews of the county.

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 am no judge of marriage; but love and freedom is all we fight for, is it not?

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.

Where I come from paperwork is but a trap of legal wrongs, a thing of this world meant to bind men to other men. All men should be free. Burn your paperwork.

D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.

Truly, I am here to learn so that I may continue to fight for freedom of all men. Herne has called another in my place – he has the love and loyalty of all whom I called friend or lover, and my place is no longer in that world. I met my fate at the hands of the Sheriff’s men, and was glad to give my life for Marian and Much. I rested for a while in the Great Forest; but now Herne grows old and there are many who no longer follow the old ways. He sends me here to learn of magic what I may, that in time I will become Herne the Hunter and call a Hooded Man anew.

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.

I can teach what I know of woodcraft, swordplay, and archery, if any are interested.
That and my friendship are all I can offer.

"As you wish... Bontilda," said Robin warily. "Are there questions I may answer for you, or..." No, he really can't think of a bribe. How would one teach a Hat archery?

"I do have a question," purred the Hat. "What's your sign?"

[hernes-son.livejournal.com]

"My... sign? I do not understand your meaning, friend H... Bontilda."

[ugly-old-hat.livejournal.com]

"When the moooooon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars ... " the Hat crooned. "Your astrological sign. The sign under which you were born. Your horoscope, baby. The conjunction of the planets!"

"Do you refer to the ancient Greek tradition of stargazing? I do not know much of it, but I think I recall Herne remarking that I was born under the sign of the Lion, hence my loyalty to King Richard. Why?"

"Oh, no reason," the Hat said airily. Inside its capacious crown was hidden a rumpled issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. It needed the answer to fill out a quiz, and also, to decide what color hatband to wear when it took up Robin on his bribe ...

"So, you've offered your 'friendship' as a bribe? You can pick me up Thursday night at eight."

Oh, was that all the Hat wanted? Companionship? Robin smiled. "Certainly, friend Bontilda." He wondered what a Hat did for entertainment. It appeared he would find out.
