hh_mirror((ooc: I blame you, Peter-mun. And I'm frustrated because HOLY HELL if this app didn't write itself super-fast. And HOLY HELL if Ender doesn't emote nearly so much on forms. xD;))
1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
Anything but cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is... disgusting.It makes me think of eyeballs.
2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
Neither are a real threat to society. The people of the world should be thinking about real issues. Population problems, extra-terrestrial threats, and at-home political corruption are all more important.
3. What time is it where you are?
About time for lunch, and another simulation.
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.
... Ew. No, really. I'm not... I dont' want to think about that at all. Not until it becomes seriously, really, pressing.
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.
Something personal, yet cryptic, I guess. The Giant's Table. Or maybe The Giant's Teacup. I'm not too keen on the idea of liquor.
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 he trusts the most. When you trust someone, and can depend on them, no matter the situation or how difficult the choice, you'll be better off in the end.
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.
It's a test. The powers that be are interested in seeing how you respond to the paperwork - the key is that it isn't that you get the paperwork done or even that you do it, but how you approach it, and how you get around the problem in the end. A test. You have to find a way around the paperwork, or work through it. Around is almost always more efficient, more effective, and in the end, the creative, "correct" answer. At least, it will almost invariably the answer they're looking for, and couldn't think of on their own.
D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.
I don't know if that's possible, working from the basis that there are some things in the world that are useless. Everything has a use, for amusement or even to take-up space. Occupying space is an important job. If your definition of "useless" is that something or someone does no more than occupy space, we are all (while sleeping) guilty of being useless. Then you have to factor in how useful dreams are, or how useful breathing is. There are bad people, yes. But there are no useless people. Not to me, anyway.
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.
Bribery is immoral. But, I'll give you my dessert if you show me where I can connect into a port. It's been too long since I've logged in to game. I guess, if you need something built or strategised, I could help come up with it. I'm not too bad at that kind of thing.Really though, bribery is probably more my brother's thing. At least, I'd imagine it would be.
