[Application] Vislor Turlough, Doctor Who (old school)

[vislor-turlough.livejournal.com]

[[Taking him pre-Planet of Fire. So he doesn't know the bitch Peri yet]]

This is not the TARDIS.

Turlough gave a surly glance around the stone walls. "Doctor, if this is some kind of joke, I fail to see the humor." No response. Save from the damned quill poking him. "Fine fine, I'll look."

Oh, god, it's an application for....Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? Can't be worse than Brenton.

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

I fail to see why that should be important on a school application. Not like the administration would just serve us rotting cheese, if any.

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

After my time. Or before, depending on how you look at it.

3. What time is it where you are?

As if it's possible to keep track of time when you're travelling in a malfunctioning time machine with a batty Time Lord who's fond of cricket, of all things.

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'm sorry, what?

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.

Bartending actually sounds like a decent job. But what to name it? Probably after something in my travels, out of this world, so no one would get 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.

Hey, if he can't decide who to marry, that's his funeral.

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 have a strict teacher who insists on adding more and more homework so you don't have a moment of free time.

D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.

Well, some people seem to find it humorous to tie me up, so I suppose there's that.

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.

Got nothing, really.

"Yeah, but if it's not your thing, then don't let 'em tie you up!" Tomo says as if this is obvious.

"...a certain person? Uh-huh. You holding out for somebody, or is that just an excuse 'cause you have a hard time getting it up?"

The sad thing is that she's acting like she knows what she's talking about.

[vislor-turlough.livejournal.com]

If Turlough was more of an open person, he'd have said 'I like you already'.

As it is, Turlough merely answered "Have I mentioned that they capture me to lure the Doctor to them? And whether I'm holding out for someone is none of your concern."

[tomowildcat.livejournal.com]

As Tomo is positive that she can irritate anyone into liking her due to her awesomeness, this probably does not need to be said anyway.

"Yeah, you kinda left that out," she informs him, unfazed by his demeanor. "So why'd anyone wanna use you as bait?"

She smirks. "Right, right. You didn't have to tell me any of that, though, ya know! Whatever gets ya going, doesn't matter as long as it works!"

[vislor-turlough.livejournal.com]

Turlough shrugged his shoulders. "I'm available, I suppose. And I keep relatively quiet compared to Tegan, anyway."

[tomowildcat.livejournal.com]

"Pfft. That's a lame reason to kidnap anybody. Just because you were available? Please. This Doctor guy oughta be rich or something 'cause I wouldn't be hanging out with somebody who got me kidnapped all the time! I mean, who wants to just be the bait?"

There's actually no innuendo behind that one, but if Turlough thinks there is she'll pretend she meant it that way.

[vislor-turlough.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't know. Something about meddling and world domination and invasion and what not. But anywhere's better than Earth."

[tomowildcat.livejournal.com]

"World domination?" Tomo repeats. "Hell no! Not before I get Hawaii!" Never mind that Chiyo-chan couldn't become US president and give it to her. She's got time. Laws might change.

"Hate to tell you this, but you're on Earth right now! Scotland, actually!" For someone breaking bad news, she's awfully cheerful about it.

[vislor-turlough.livejournal.com]

"Earth. Scotland." Turlough just stared at Tomo for a minute. Then he sighed. "It could have been England, I suppose. And I never said it was this world that was dominated. Though ninety percent of the time, it probably was."

Great. Earth.

[tomowildcat.livejournal.com]

"Yep. England, Scotland... they're both cold and rainy. At least, I think so. Haven't been to England yet!"

"Ninety percent of the time? We've had a buncha alien invasions and I missed 'em? Aw!" Only Tomo would sound disappointed. "Why would they bother with Earth if it sucks that much?"

[vislor-turlough.livejournal.com]

Turlough had no answer for that, he merely shrugged.

"So. If I'm stuck here, I think I should know what 'here' is."

[tomowildcat.livejournal.com]

"You're at Hogwarts! It's a magic school. You come in, you get an application and people vote you into a House! Can't go anywhere til you get Sorted, though," she adds as if this explanation is perfectly normal and not lacking in detail at all.

"I'm Tomo! Takino Tomo, the most energetic girl in Hufflepuff House!" And probably the most energetic in a ten-mile radius. "Nice to meet ya!"

[vislor-turlough.livejournal.com]

"Magic, huh?" Well, now things were looking up slightly.

"Turlough," he said for introduction, holding out his hand.

[tomowildcat.livejournal.com]

"Yep! They can do all kinds of stuff here. Like levitating, and turning things colors, and setting things on fire!" Notice she doesn't say if the last one is intentional. "It's awesome!"

"Nice to meet you!" She shakes the hand enthusiastically. "Why didn't ya answer the bar name? Who cares if nobody else gets it? It's your bar."

[vislor-turlough.livejournal.com]

"I thought it a pointless question. Why should I name a hypothetical bar that I would never open, and then have to explain the name?"

[tomowildcat.livejournal.com]

"Pfft. You don't have to! Make stuff up if you wanna. It's worth it to see the looks people give ya. Some of 'em make the best faces when they're confused. And it makes you look smarter than them."

[vislor-turlough.livejournal.com]

"Well, it doesn't matter anyway, because in the end, I would just name it 'Tegan' for an annoying banshee of a woman that I had the misfortune to travel with."

[tomowildcat.livejournal.com]

"What, was she the kind of person who whined about everything? Or just a buzzkill? 'What are you doing? We're here to study!' 'I'm too scared to ride in the Yukari-mobile!' 'I'm a genius and I'm perfect and I'm better than you!'" The series of impressions ranges from Yomi to Chiyo-chan, but all Turlough should be able to tell is that she's mimicking a couple different people.

[vislor-turlough.livejournal.com]

"Whined."

[tomowildcat.livejournal.com]

"Complainer, huh? Like Yukari, who has to spoil everything with how much her life sucks even though that's usually her fault! I wouldn't wanna name a bar after someone like that! Unless it'd get on her nerves."

[vislor-turlough.livejournal.com]

"It would," Turlough said with a devilish grin.

Vote: Hufflepuff

[tomowildcat.livejournal.com]

"HA! I like the way you think!" Tomo beams. "I oughts try that if I ever get a karaoke bar - I'll name it after Yomi, 'cause she sings like a sick cat!"

Which pretty much seals her vote. "I'm gonna vote Hufflepuff! We can always use more people with a sense of humor there!"
