Blaine asked that I come and check on Stephen - hullo, Stephen! - and this looks like a bit of fun, so I thought, "Why not?"
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
I'm partial to a good bit of toasted cheddar. Though Killick can make most cheese palatable, and beggars and sailors can't always be choosy.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
Giant purple lizards – the Barney thing is a lizard, ain't it? - seem like something Stephen would bag and slice and pickle in jars. Whereas Carrottop seems like a rum lad, and even I think his jokes are poor, but he's hardly deserving of killing.
3. What time is it where you are?
Noonish, with a good southwest breeze blowing.
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.
If I were a man named Albus Dumbledore, I'd probably be too busy cursing my parents for giving me a damned silly sounding name to think about anything else.
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 Scuttlebutt – a scuttled butt's where you put two days' worth of water, you see, but it's also gossip, which I find one does a fair bit of in a pub. I think it's rather clever, myself.
(I say, Stephen, don't you think I'd be a wonderous sort of barman? Maybe I ought do that next time I don't have a commission, instead of moping around and making my wife miserable.)
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.
This "Harry" is a lass, then? What monikers the young ladies come up with for themselves these days. I'd say both, but monogamy, like monarchy, is an absurd but necessary evil, so let's go with George. The King's name is George, and a man's home being his castle and his wife his queen, and all that nonsense, so it's probably a good whatsit, a good sigil? Harbinger?
And if they don't much like each other, he can go to sea, and they'll get along much better with an ocean between 'em.
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.
Office of the Navy is clearly behind it. Amazing, how much paperwork those blighters produce.
D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.
I can best a xebec with a sloop, come up with a clever ruse, and correct you when you accidentally call a schooner a barque. And I play the violin well enoughvery well, in fact, but I don't like to bring it up.
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.
I brought a lemur for Stephen, and some ugly little crabs, and some type of snake which I very much hope isn't poisonous, and a nice little mouse – or is it a squirrel? - which glides around if you let it. But if he don't want 'em, the rest of you are free to squabble over 'em. Though I might keep the squirrel thing. It has a cheeky sort of air to it.
And if he does want 'em - would you like to learn how to read nautical charts?
(OOC: Jack doesn't know a wombat from a pika, but if you're curious: the animals in question are a ring-tailed lemur, vernal crabs, an eastern hognose snake, and a Japanese dwarf flying squirrel, aka the momonga. Why yes, this was totally an excuse to bring up momongas, why do you ask? XD)
