Application for Balthier, Final Fantasy XII

[von-strahl.livejournal.com]

A brunet man dressed in rather strange- perhaps one could say 'pirate-y'- clothes entered the sorting room with a flash of light- the the kind common to teleport crystals. Just by the look of him, it was obvious that Hogwarts was not his intended destination.

"Where is this place? ...Certainly not Balfonheim, that's for sure." Balthier looked around for a moment before querying, "Fran, are you about? Oh, bloody hell, that's the last time I'm taking a teleport crystal over an airship."

It was then he noticed the application. "Eh, what's this, then?," he muttered as he straightened his shirt sleeves. "Some sort of questionnaire- well, why not." He pulled a pen from one of his many pockets and began to fill in the application.

1. What is your favorite cheese? Why is it your favorite?
Can't say I'm a fan of the stuff, but if I have to choose a favorite, I'd say Danna cheese- comes from this creature the Garifs of Jahara raise. It's far better than whatever flavor of the week the nobles in Archades are eating, at any rate.

2. Who would you kill first, Barney or Carrottop?
It depends upon who has the higher price on their head. Can't be wasting my time on trifling marks, after all.

3. What time is it where you are?
Where I am? I've not a clue right now, but it was high noon when I departed from Rabanastre.

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 suppose I could answer that if I knew who those people were- *A rather large inkblot stains the page here, where the writer paused to hear something pertaining to the above question*

Well, in that case I'd have to say the Lady Tonks. One can't deny the appeal of a woman who can change her appearance at will.

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 Strahl- it's the name of my airship and a damned fine name at that.

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.
Since Ultima lost the Thousand-Years War, Fred is the obvious answer. Otherwise it would be George, you see?

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.
Empires beget bureaucracy and bureaucracy begets paperwork. There's naught to be done about it, unless you follow my example and take up pirating. There's surprisingly little red tape in that line of work.

D. Hufflepuff – Prove you are not useless.
I hunt marks, fix airships, smuggle goods (among other things) about Ivalice. Why, if you doubt me, just ask the Lady Ashelia of Dalmasca- I've proved quite useful to her and for feign little payback at that.

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.
Had I my airship now, I'd offer free transportation- for now I can only offer an IOU. I've got a bit of Gil on me and some loot as well, though I'm not sure of what use a Malboro Vine or Wolf's Pelt would be. I've a bit more than that, let's see... Ah, here, I can offer
2 Bomb Fragments
Braid Wool
3 Coeurl Whiskers
10 Earth Crystals
1 Gemini Gem
1 Iron Carapace
2 Malboro Vines
1 Mirror Scale
1 Ring Wyrm Scale
4 vials of Slime Oil
1 Tomato Stalk
6 Wolf's Pelts
And 3 Yensa Scales

I have read the hogwarts_hocus faq, and understand it is a crazy, cracktastic sorting community and RPG. BB
I have read the hogwarts_hocus rules and agree to abide by each and every one of them. BB.
I agree to be a good sport and not get my knickers in a bunch. BB.
One day, marmalade will rule the world. BB

Vote: Slytherin

House pockets the vial carefully with a smirk that is a little too large for someone obtaining horribly smelling liquid. "Oh, that's allright, I plan to unleash it upon someone else anyway. So let's see... you're clearly cut-throat, you don't like rules so you break the law, and you've survived doing that this long. I like that, so I'm voting Slytherin for you."

"Excellent. Er, enjoy the slime- and do try and unleash it on someone when I'm not around, please."

"Because you hooked me up, I'll make the effort not to expose you to it. That would just be mean." With that, House is off, a little extra spring in his limp and childish glee already clear in his expression. "Good luck in the sorting, Blackbeard," he calls over his shoulder.
