Gabrielle, Xena: Warrior Princess

Blinking in confusion the young woman glances around the room she's suddenly found herself in, "What in Hades...?" Absently she clutches the staff in her hands closer, almost like a security blanket, eyeing the others in the room warily. She's dressed simply in a short leather skirt and matching halter top with practical leather boots. A plain pouch is slung over her shoulder and across her chest, odd counterpoint to the strange metal ring hooked at her other hip and the sai handles peeking from the tops of her boots. She looks vaguely startled to be addressed then immediately relaxes into a friendly smile as she answers.


1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?

"Cheese? Oh I dunno, some of the cheese from Athens was pretty good, can't remember the name of it though. Probably from goats or something. Why is it my favorite? Umm... I guess 'cause it reminds me of home."

2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?

She blinks, green eyes reflecting mild confusion, "Who? Are these people warlords?"

3. What time is it where you are?

"Well... it was just a couple hours past midday where I... was..." She glances around again, studying the room with interest.

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.

She suddenly looks sad before the smile is back again, though a bit strained this time, "Well, I'm not sure who either of those people are but I can safely guess I'm neither one of them. Though, it's been my experience that when one has returned from the dead you generally aren't too into sexual harrassment... more like sleeping a lot... or trying to keep yourself from ending up dead again, kinda depends. But I suppose if you were to want to sexually harrass someone and I was theoretically this newly alive person that wants to harrass someone, I guess a member of this Order or whatever, then a good way to go about it would be to take that person to an Amazon party." Her eyes twinkle mischievously.

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.


"A bar? Oh... well I dunno, I don't think I'd do very well at bartending. But I guess if I had to name one I could go with The Potadeian... but no one would be able to pronounce it."

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.

"Who -are- these people? Well anyway, wouldn't it depend on who this Harry likes more? After all, shouldn't love count for something?" She smiles wistfully. "Though, if you really want a story about it with mythological creatures I could probably come up with one. I heard something about this big sea creature in the Britannia once... don't think it's real though, after all, it'd be bigger than a hydra and that's kinda silly."

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.

"Paperwork? Oh... you mean like scrolls and such? That's a really good question, I've always wondered the same thing myself. It's amazing how many scrolls a tribe of Amazons can generate of all people. Though we've generally found that the occasional bonfire of excess scrolls works well. Either that or we just stuff them all into a hut in the back of the village and pretend they don't exist." Gabrielle pauses then mutters to herself, "Which reminds me... I need to have someone clean out that hut..."

D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.

She grins, eyes dancing with mischief, "Not useless? What would you like me to do?" She twirls her staff expertly around her body for a brief moment, "I have many skills."

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?" Gabrielle frowns slightly, "I don't much hold with bribery as a rule. Though... I suppose it depends on the circumstances. But... I guess I could offer my bardic skills, I was trained at the Academy for a while. Or um... I could teach self defense or something? I don't really know what would be useful in a bribe in this place."

"Is that it?" She smiles again and shrugs, "Ok, um... if you have anymore questions just ask."

'Er. Queen Victoria?' 'Teazer asks, thinking probably not.

*beams* Once upon a cloudy day, a young calico kitten was roaming about in the junkyard within the elders' view. This kitten was infamous among the Jellicle folk for being hot headed and especially rude to his elders. On this day he wished to branch out to other corners of the junkyard forbidden to him by the elders. The elders kept denying him the permission to roam free, but he kept pressing. Finally, one elder had enough and allowed the young kitten to branch out. The other elders looked at him in surprised! But this one, wise elder (Known as 'Uncle' to the other kittens. *grins*) looked so sure of this decision and gave each elder a smile of reassurance. The young kitten was THRILLED to be granted such permission and sped off at once not knowing of what was waiting for him just past the big, truck tire.

*pauses for breath, then looks up at the human curiously* You may sit down if you like. Oh! And how rude of me to not introduce myself. I am Skimbleshanks.

"Oh, you have got to be frelling joking. They're like... how do I put this... other suns very very far away from you." She shakes her head. "Frelling humans can't even bother to learn the proper way the universe works," she muttered under her breath. "Look, no offense, but maybe Ravenclaw wouldn't be the house for you. Unless you like getting drunk. How does Gryffindor sound?"

((Damn! I just popcorned Autolycus. Boo, hiss.))

Show me how to use that staff, and I'm all yours! Er, I mean, my vote is all yours. Into a house. Um, I'm Dawn. Dawn Summers.

Well, there isn't really any such thing as 'routine' here at Hogwarts, it seems to me. Every day seems to bring something new and surprising.

Yesterday it was a woman I met when I was a child, who literally hasn't aged a day since I knew her then. Before that I met a cobra who could recite poetry. Another time I met a woman who claims to be a vengeance demon, and as we talked it became apparent she had exacted a rather convoluted vengeance wish by my former wife upon me. Oh, and you've met a couple of our talking cats, I see. We also have a mouse and a duck who fancy themselves as crimefighters, and the most charming talking fish I've ever seen.

Sounds like you've come a long ways, Jungle Jane. Gotta' say, I'm tempted to vote Hufflepuff just to find out about these mysterious "skills" of yours.

Oh goody. Now my eternal life is complete. Can't you two stay dead?

((OOC: Damn. Shame Caesar is popcorn XD))

Hi, Gabrielle. I'm Laura. I liked your Gryffindor answer - I think who a person really likes should count for something too, no matter what anyone else might think of them.

You are a member of an Amazon tribe? By this do you mean the classical sort of Amazon, women warriors, or do you mean some tribe of South America?

I wasn't all that sleepy when I first came back from being dead.

Hiya, Gabby! Nice to see you outside of business hours, for once.

((Gabrielle can either recognize Death or not, totally up to you.))

Boudicca. Boudicca. She knows that name.
