Application for Amelia Pond (Doctor Who)
((With the approval of the current Who Crew. Spoilers are inevitable.))
Amy Pond was getting used to abrupt arrivals in unfamiliar places, but this time was a bit disturbing. She didn't remember arriving here, and neither The Doctor, Rory, nor the TARDIS were anywhere in sight. The room had a disturbingly castle-y quality that reminded her unpleasantly of Venice.
"Hello?" she called out uncertainly, and was startled to see a quill pen lift of its own accord, taking down the word on a sheet of paper. Once she'd registered the mild surprise, however, she was delighted. What a charming device! Stepping closer to examine this wonder, she noticed the questions on the parchment.
State your full name.
"Amelia Pond," she responded almost automatically, before stopping to wonder who it was asking and why. But she couldn't resist continuing with the form, just to see, to find out.
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
"Crowdie," she said with a faint sniff. Actually it wasn't, but she liked people to think it was. Scottish, and all that. Better than affecting a taste for haggis. "Why do I need a reason for it to be my favorite? People like things. It doesn't always have to be deep."
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
"What?" That was certainly a leap. "From cheese to killing? That's a bit of a steep progression, isn't it? Although I suppose if I had to choose, I'd say Barney." Not that she had any particular grudge against characters on American children's television, but a name like 'Carrottop' prompted a sense of ginger solidarity. If she'd known who he was, her answer might have been different.
3. What time is it where you are?
"Time." Amy laughed weakly. Time wasn't as definite for her as it used to be. "I don't actually know. It does sound silly, doesn't it?"
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?" Amy exclaimed again, with real outrage this time. Perhaps she was a bit oversensitive on the subject. "I don't... I mean, I wouldn't, I'd never..."
Assuming she hadn't just survived near-certain death.
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 Gondola Driver," she said, thinking fondly of Rory.
B. Gryffindor ā Debate whether Harry should ultimately end up married to Fred or George. Use examples from a variety of world mythologies to bolster your argument.
Ouch... sore subject there. "I'm not an agony aunt, you know," she said with a bit of a pout. "Maybe Harry needs some time to sort it out for himself. You can't let someone else decide that sort of thing for you."
C. Ravenclaw ā You guys are supposed to be smart. Explain why my desk is inundated with paperwork at all times, even though Iām constantly disposing of it.
"It's just paper, isn't it? If it bothers you so much, get away from it. Get a new job. Move to a new city. Change your life."
D. Hufflepuff ā Prove you are not useless.
"Useless?" That was an affront, even moreso when she realized that, while resourceful, she didn't have much in the way of quantifiable skills. "'m not useless," she said with a pout.
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.
"A bribe?" She looked down at her outfit. Neither the baggy sweater nor tiny miniskirt had pockets. She smiled a bit weakly. "What if I just said 'please'?"

Oh yes, she'd been asked a question as well. "It's a cheese," she shrugged. "A soft cheese. Not especially exciting, but that's cheese for you."

"Do you like gondolas?" Holy Roman Empire asked. If it was Italian, he approved; and further, Italy took her name from Venice to distinguish herself from her brother (named after Rome). This could only be proof of Amy's good taste.

"Oh I wouldn't worry about the bribe. Most of the students here are too barmy to even remember to ask for one." Donna Noble, Super Temp and former Companion to the Doctor, had a slightly sympathetic smile on her face.
"But here, take these if anyone gets too demanding." She offered a few of the polished stones she purchased at the gift store when the Doctor took her to visit Midnight. Was she holding out from the Hat? Absolutely. "A shiny alien rock should shut them up."

The Baron Vladimir Harkonnen hadn't really intended to go to a Sorting, precisely. Rather, he'd drifted into the Sorting Room not long after Simon Tam, whom he'd been eyeing in the hall. He'd encountered the man before, but, it had been under rather awkward circumstances due to a clothing-related misunderstanding, and hadn't had a chance to properly ogle him then. So, he was making up for a lost opportunity.
Of course, he quickly realized he was in the Sorting room, so, he'd probably need to get to Sorting the new applicant. Who, to his disappointment, was female- still, he looked over her answers to the questions, or at least pretended to, while ogling Simon's backside. After spending some time at this rather enjoyable activity, he eventually determined that as a Hogwarts Professor, he really should get to making at least a token effort at Sorting the girl.
Floating over he told her, "It's only the last couple of questions which tend to matter- unless you get the cheese one wrong. As I've been informed that the wrong answer there is an unawareness of cheese, you should be fine. Usually, only the last couple of questions matter much, but they only matter on occasion." The Baron very much doubted that the girl was useless or bribeless- useless and bribeless for him, perhaps, but, he was certain there were some men who'd be quite pleased with the arrival of leggy red-headed female.

"So the questions don't matter, except for when they do, on the occasions when they're important?" It seemed like a riddle. Some sort of test?

She was, however, wearing her knitted Viking helmet, since this seemed like part of a deputy prefect's job. She really ought to come here more often.
She extended a hand. "I'm Coraline. Coraline Jones."

'Hello,' China started, turning her attentions to Amelia Pond's application. After giving it a fair read, she fixed her icy gaze on the red-head. 'You seem mentally up to par. Let me introduce myself, I'm China Sorrows.' China had her hand on her chest, the shimmering sequins of her tops strap gleamed along with the delicate chain around her wrist. 'So, my dear. I must ask. What do you think so far of this place?'

Still; miniskirt. Hmmm.
She smiled at Amelia. "I think Barney deserved to die. Lying to kids all like he did." He gave children the impression that their lives were comfortable. Safe. That was just her own opinion though. "I'm Cyclona."

thinking upexplaining. Point being, Kuronue plopped himself on the table, picked up the parchment, and read.No bribe. Oh, he had an idea of what she could give him. Certainly.
He lowered the parchment, twisted a little to smile at her. "Time gets a little..." He flapped the parchment around. "Distorted. After a while."

But, given her answer to the fourth question, Kuronue might have a task ahead of him.
"Hello," he said, leaning against a pillar in the room.

"Hello." Going by the other inhabitants of this place, not to mention he was carrying a sword, she knew better than to let her guard down.

The Hat felt it was endangered by Canadian Weasley bears. It had felt this way since ... sometime in 2006.

Normally the idea of saving a hat from a bear would be a ludicrous one, but she'd been warned not to anger this particular hat.
