[A man of just slightly more than average height with a receding hairline, wearing a tasteful and impeccably-tailored black suit, thrusts his hands into the pockets of his coat and looks around the Sorting Room with speculative interest.]
When I said I was looking to hole up someplace out of the way, this isn't exactly what I had in mind. But it'll do.
State your full name.
Come on now, if you had the wherewithal to bring me here, you really should know better than to ask such a thing. You can call me Crowley.
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
Cravanzina. Heard of it? ...Didn't think so. And that would be why.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
Hm... [Consults his iPhone] Well I've got them both pencilled in, but there's a bit of a backlog what with the Apocalypse and all. You know how it is. Not to worry though, certain individuals paid handsomely to get the job done, and we're one hundred percent committed to satisfying our valued customers. I'd have to say it's a toss-up which one we get to first.
3. What time is it where you are?
[He smiles charmingly] What time would you like it to be?
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.
Search me, I'm not familiar with the chap. Which one would make for the best blackmail picture if I can catch a good shot of us kissing?
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.
Across the Road. ...What? I'm in sales, not advertising.
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.
Whichever one's the snappier dresser. If you're going to be controversial, you'd best do it with style. Just ask Aphrodite--now there's a lady who dresses to impress.
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.
Sounds like you need to have a good heart-to-heart with your personal assistant. They can be so high-maintenance. But if you find one that really suits, trust me, it's worth going that extra mile to accommodate them.
D. Hufflepuff : Prove you are not useless.
I'm a purveyor of...well, essentially anything. If it's out there to be had, I'll get it for you. For a price, of course. Now my usual channels may be inaccessible here, and I'll need some time to establish alternatives, but once I've got settled in a bit I guarantee I'll find ways of making myself downright indispensible. [Smiles modestly] It's sort of what I do.
If that doesn't impress you, I've been known to rent out the Pup on occasion. I happen to be under a contractual obligation not to bring him along on this trip, but I'm sure he'll catch up to me on his own soon enough. He's hard to keep kenneled and all but impossible to throw off the scent, the little scamp...
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, eh? Not really my usual style, but let's see. [Searches his person] Got my trusty iPhone, but I don't think I'm going to be handing that over. Business cards for all my key associates...well, several of them are dead now... [Goes through them, tossing half the cards over his shoulder] A rather nice silver flask I could bear to part with, filled with a particularly fine single-malt I'm not certain I could; a platinum Rolex, an embroidered silk handkerchief, the keys to my Mercedes--not that I've ever actually driven it, but appearances are everything--three Montecristos, matches, an interesting old coin, two hundred fifty hundred dollars cash, give or take...oh yeah, and a couple of spare .28 caliber cartridges with some rather unique properties.
If there's something else you're after, please, feel free to mention it. We may be able to come to some arrangement.

Date: 2011-01-26 04:43 am (UTC)He watched, somewhat bemused, as the small, slightly grotesque creature scurried up and took the much-insulted jacket away. "Well, those are convenient. Some sort of public utility, are they?" They certainly seemed easier to wrangle than his own rather cantankerous kin.
"I've clearly been negligent in my studies," he mused. "Something I'll have to rectify at the first opportunity." He heaved a sigh, then smiled. "So. Tell me, my perilous beauty...shall I address you by title, or has the Slayer got a name?"
no subject
Date: 2011-01-27 12:35 am (UTC)"If I remember right, there's a hell of a library if that's your kind of thing. I was never one for the research angle." Faith stretched, a sinuous catlike motion.
"So Crowley, are you a wizard or something? You seem pretty familiar with demons and Apocalypses and things."
no subject
Date: 2011-01-27 03:24 am (UTC)"My sincere apologies, I should have introduced myself right off." He extended his hand, and was favorably impressed by her firm and confident return shake.
"Crowley's the name," he said pleasantly, watching her closely. "And it's quite simple, really; I understand about demons because it happens I am one."
no subject
Date: 2011-01-27 03:43 am (UTC)The Slayer had met demons before, but all of them looked demonic. "Hn. Guess you learn something new every day."
no subject
Date: 2011-01-27 03:56 am (UTC)"So the demons of your acquaintance run more toward the way the lore traditionally portrays us, then? Interesting. My colleagues tend not to accessorize much in the classic style these days, apart from flashing their eyes in black or some bright primary color for effect now and then." He grimaced slightly. "Which I find pretentious, honestly, but whatever works for them."
He glanced at her curiously. "By 'Hellmouth' I'm assuming you mean a portal of some sort between Earth and the underworld? It's a nice turn of phrase, I'll have to remember it."
no subject
Date: 2011-01-27 12:07 pm (UTC)A demon that hadn't heard of the Hellmouth? Faith cocked her head at him, "Yeah, it's a portal. It leaks out all sorts of dark energy which made Sunnydale a hotspot for vamps, demons and anybody else that thought it'd be a good idea to try and end the world. We shut down the Sunnydale one, but the second one gets closed, another one opens. Keeps a girl on her toes."
no subject
Date: 2011-01-27 06:13 pm (UTC)"So it's a fixed portal?" He gave a low whistle. "That'd play havoc with the surrounding area. They must have figured some way to stabilize or cap it? Can't imagine anyone would be able to live near the spot otherwise."
no subject
Date: 2011-01-29 12:37 am (UTC)"It did more than play havoc with the area. Yeah, we found a way to cap it, but the explosion took out most of the city. But," she shrugged, "one gets capped, another one opens up. So somewhere, life just got pretty dicey for a town."
"So what do you sell, anyway?"
no subject
Date: 2011-01-29 01:34 am (UTC)"Whatever the buyer's interested in acquiring," he said. "There are some classic packages that never go out of style, of course. Money, power, fame, revenge. But anything someone's greedy or desperate enough to barter eternity to get is pretty much on the table." He gave the Winchester brothers a bemused glance over his shoulder. "We've seen an uptick in one-for-one trades of late, but I think that's a statistical anomaly.
"Now that I'm here, of course, I'm likely going to have to find a new line of business for the duration."
Vote : Ravenclaw
Date: 2011-01-29 05:05 am (UTC)"Well given the nature of this place, I'm sure that won't be a problem. People always want things they can't have."
Faith looked down at herself then back to the demon with a wry grin. "As fun as this has been, I think I need to track down a shower." With that she cast her vote.
