((I've waited for the Botan mun to contact me, but I haven't heard anything from her for over five days, so I'm going to go ahead and apply

Kurama makes his way to the interview room, reminding himself again exactly why he is here.
It was Koenma's idea, and no matter how many times Kurama reminded him that he didn't work for Reikai anymore (and indeed, he had never actually worked for them, it was more like community service) Koenma vehemently insisted that he take this very odd and mostly unorthodox assignment.

Of course, that "vehement insistance" had included the promise of a favorable review at his judgement when he finally officially went feet-up, and a little under-the-table assurance that any "accidents" on the job would be overlooked as "work hazards." Kurama agreed, and was given an envelope and orders from Koenma that he must gather as much information on this institution that he could manage.

He isn't sure why Koenma wants the information; the place doesn't seem any more out of the ordinary than Labrynthine Demon Palaces, houses that play hell with the rules of physics, or any of the other odd circumstances their little group had found themselves in. He doesn't see anything fit to complain about, though. This assignment should be relatively easy, with far less of a chance of violent and bloody death. The letter Koenma had given him told him little more, merely that he should by the requisite school supplies at such and such place and to be at the school in time for his sorting. Those tasks long finished, he pauses outside the door to collect himself.

He briefly considers how he should present himself to the interviewer. The letter was addressed to "Minamino Shuuichi," so he assumes that the faculty, or at least whoever sent the letter, do not know exactly who or what he is. Though it would be safest to default to his public personality, the one everyone outside of his team knew, he figures he has no standing reputation with the crowd of people here, so there is no need to pretend to be "the good son" and run the risk of that mask slipping at a crucial moment. So, human he will be, but no playing at being "Minamino Shiori's perfect little boy."

He opens the door to the Interview room, and steps inside, seating himself in front of the ready quill.

1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
He blinks, but otherwise maintains a straight face. What an odd question to be asked, particularly when interviewing for a school. He considers a moment, and decides to go with honesty.
"I have to get it imported, but Colby-Jack cheese is well worth the price. I like it because it doesn't taste of malnourished goat, like most domestic cheeses."

2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
He laughs, waving his hand dismissively.
"Oh, far be it from me to murder someone simply for the crime of being irritating," he smiles in a rather suspicious way, nodding his head. "Next question."

3. What time is it where you are?
He looks pointedly to the clock on the wall before answering, "Six twenty-nine in the evening."

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. He pauses, considering.
"I don't doubt that the freshly reanimated would be able to instigate sexual harrassment, but that depends on what kind of dead you were to begin with. Considering the former headmaster's situation, I suppose whoever is the most likely to overlook a little decomposition and raging rigor mortis?"

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.
"The Library."

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. "Seeing as young mister Potter is somewhat of a godlike figure around here, whichever of them is most like Ganymede?" He pauses, and a mildly malefic grin passes across his face. "Though, perhaps without the horrible and bloody death."

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.
He lifts an eyebrow at the pile of paperwork, and at the overfilled wastebasket.
"Are you actually doing the paperwork, or are you just throwing it away?"

D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.
He smiles and leans back in his chair, steepling his fingers and looking for all the world like a malicious businessman.
"I have a talent for finding things people want to hide, among other things. I shouldn't need to proove my usefulness beyond 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.
This, now, gives him pause. Bribes were always a tricky business, and he couldn't truly give a single answer for the entire school. A perfect bribe for one would be garbage for another, and he didn't have enough money immediately available to pay off the legion of students he was sure wandered these halls. His only real choice, then, was to offer ambiguous services.
"I mentioned earlier that I specify in finding that which one wishes to keep hidden. Secrets, treasure, and the like. Should someone feel the need to ask incentive from me, then they need only ask. I offer my services to anyone who so wishes."
