1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
Cheese? I guess swiss, maybe? I like the color, and the holes are sort of fun...like bubbles in champagne, but a lot cheaper. And it's good on corned beef sandwiches.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
Well, I don't know who either of those people are --gangsters, maybe?--and I don't know how I'd kill anyone, really. Unless they were going to shoot me, and I got the gun away...? No, I just don't think I could. I've met some real stinkers in the man department, but I think if either of them were giving me that much trouble I'd just take the next train out of town.
3. What time is it where you are?
I just finished my last number of the night, so I guess it's about three in the morning.
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.
Oh, I don't know if I'd harass anyone. If I liked someone (that Sirius Black fella's awful cute, isn't he?) I might offer him a drink, and put my hand on his arm, and lean a little, and make jokes, and laugh at any jokes he made, and tell him how sweet and smart and handsome he was...all while wearing a sheer black strappy dress...but that's not harassing, is it?
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.
It was called Min's Delicatessan. And it was only a bar...or dark...if you went to the back door and said, "I'm here for the bar mitzvah."
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.
Well, I can't say I know much about mythology, really. But it seems to me Harry ought to make his own mind up about that. I'd just tell him to see which one treated him the best, and if that one also made his head go spinning and his toes tingle and his skin hot, well, that's the one to grab hold of and not let go. Just...stay away from saxophone players. You always end up with the fuzzy end of the lollipop.
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.
Oh, I had a job like that once, for two weeks when I worked in a theatrical agency. And my boss always yelled at me for not taking notes fast enough, and I told him when I got the job I didn't know shorthand, and he just laughed and looked me over and said, "That's just fine, Sugar." Hey, listen, honey, you don't want a job like that. Even the worst gig in the world, you get to move on after a few days, and even if they kick you out for drinking or men there's always another. Do you play any instruments? We might have a spot for you if you play bass fiddle.
D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.
I play the ukelele and I sing, too.
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.
Oh, well, I don't have a lot of money. I've got some orchids some man sent me after the second number, and aside from my show clothes and makeup and of course my ukelele that's about it.Unless I hocked my diamond bracelet? I used to sell kisses for the Milk Fund...

1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
I like the paler sorts of cheddar. The color reminds me of the full moon just after moonrise, and that's when all the most interesting and tragic things happen. At least in books.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
I'd rather not kill anyone. If Carrottop had any kin living nearby, I would kill Barney instead, because we really don't need another feud. Then I'd write a poem about the tragic demise of the Last of the Great Purple Lizards. It would make an interesting challenge, since I've mostly written about humans up to now.
3. What time is it where you are?
Time for me to finish this funeral tribute! You would not believe how hard it is to find solemn and poetic rhymes for "Whistler."
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 hope I am too much of a lady to harass anyone, but Mr. Black is certainly intriguing. So dashing, yet not without the slightest touch of melancholy...

Crossing: the Bar.
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.
Well, in stories, the contestants for the hand of the fair maiden generally have to complete some sort of difficult task or quest in order to prove their worthiness. I suppose that Harry could do that, if he can't make up his mind any other way. He shouldn't make the test too dangerous, because if he does, then it's likely that he'll realize that he's loved one of the twins all along just before that twin gets himself killed. While that would make an excellent subject for a long narrative poem, I don't think it would be very pleasant to live through.
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.
Has there been a steamboat accident or something like that lately? Those always give me a lot of work.
D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.
I can write poetry on a variety of subjects, and draw, and play the piano a little, and I make a pretty good cup of coffee.
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.
If any of you feel that your lives and deeds have been insufficiently celebrated by the bards of your own time and place, I will do my best to remedy that by writing a tribute on anything you wish. I also have a spare copy of "The Castle of Otranto," if anyone is interested.

The subject has been placed under the influence of fast-penta for the purposes of interrogation, and to ensure truthful answers. (( No way in hell Bothari would give sufficiently verbose answers otherwise. ))
( And there was Bothari, tall as a mountain and lean as a knife, in the brown and silver of the Vorkosigans. ... Narrow jaw, hooked beak of a nose, eyes of a nondescript color set too close together ... His voice was deep bass, monotonous in cadence. One had to know him a long time to interpret its expressionlessness. )

Of course, it would have been better if he'd signed the note, not used a school owl or given any sort of hint to his identity (he'd printed the notes neatly because his hand was oddly unsteady, so even his handwriting wouldn't give it away) but hey, at least it was something.

1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
Well, to tell you the truth, I'd have to say swiss cheese, its a hell of a cheese, goes good on anything. I mean, its no phony cheese, like that godamn american cheese, tastes like plastic.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
I don't know either of these people,but if they were big phonies, I would kill both. They both have lame names, I mean I could puke, what kind of idiot names their kid "Barney" or "Carrottop" anyways?
3. What time is it where you are?
I don't have a watch any more, I bet some kid at my old school, Pency Prep (more like Pency Puke or Pency Prick) stole it. That school is full crocks, I mean the wealthier the school, the more stuff gets stolen, no kidding. I wish I had my watch, I mean it was a gift sort of. It belong to my little brother Allie, but he died. He used to write poetry on his glove when he played baseball, hell of kid though.
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.
Wait, sexually harass??? What kind of godamn school is this where they ask for rape preferance? God, that really kills me, that really gives me a kick...*forced chuckles* *uneasy looks* ummm...jees, I don't know. I don't think I could ever harrass someone, it's pretty mean if you think about it. But, that werewolf sort of guy seems alright...
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.
You asked the right guy, I can get into any bar, its because I look older than I actually am. To tell the truth, I've got some grey hairs and I'm only 17. If I could bartend, it would be at that place with the black piano player, lousy drinks and a lousy crowd, but that piano player really kills me.
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.
They look and act the same, I can't tell either godamn one apart. Besides marriage is a waste of time. Look at my parents, I mean they're alright, but they don't love each other, and they're so godamn touchy over every little thing, every couple becomes like them; old and touchy, then your kids die for no reason and your other kids get kicked out of dumb schools like Pency Puke.
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.
Well I like to write, mosty compositions and poetry and all that crap. I also like to read a lot. What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote is what a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone and talk to him about it whenever you felt like it. I would'nt mind calling up Isak Dickensen, but someone told me he's dead.
D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.
To tell you the truth, I always wonder where the ducks in the pond go when the ice freezes over, you know that pond or lake in Central Park? I mean, does someone bring a big truck and take them to the zoo? Or do they just fly away? I hope they're okay, at the zoo or at some other pond.
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.
I don't really have too much. I mean you guys can have my old records, they're jazz records and all, really swinging stuff, lots of trupets and saxophones and piano. God, that stuff just kills me, its beautiful. I take really good care of my stuff, so the records arn't scratchy or anything, practically new. You guys would probably really like Monk's stuff. Everyone thinks he's crazy, but he's really a genius, just one of those terrific musicians you know? Well, his stuff is really the best.

A parliament of owls
Mar. 6th, 2006 10:44 pm![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
Each of the owls sent to the professors is written in a careful, neat, legible, scrawl. The ink is blue but otherwise undistinctive. All written on very clean, professional looking parchment.
The owl to Ollivander is written much the same, albeit not so careful.
{Open RP} Hermione Returns
Mar. 6th, 2006 11:07 pm![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
Down in the owlery, Hermione was back from her vacation from someplace where they apparently don't have calendars. She can be seen frantically writing letters to all the professors. Having missed three months of classes, there really wasn't much time to lose but she had to stop and raise an eyebrow at some of the names of the staff list. Voldemort's teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts now? I have missed a lot since my last visit to Hogwarts.
