Slytherin, huh? I'm not exactly sure what that means or says about me, but I hear they're supposed to be rather "accurate" placements based on an individual's more prevalent qualities.

[ or so she gathered from conversing with mccoy and skimming through the open replies to his broadcast. ]

[thefavorite]

That's what it said to me, too.

What kind of placement is it?

[directives]

[ is that a child's voice? ]

Houses within some sort of boarding school -- particularly one Ginny Weasley attended in her version of the world.

[thefavorite]

[ It most certainly is! A child who's familiar enough with Ginny to let excitement creep into his tone. ]

You mean the magic school??

[olduvai]

How accurate, exactly?

audio ;

[directives]

Beats me! I'm not the local expert on sentient, telepathic hats and magical boarding schools.

[ it's like something out of a child's holonovel. flotter t. water and the magical hat or something. ]

audio ;

[olduvai]

Well, I just had the same hat yelling "Gryffindor" - or I think that's what it said. I'm still wondering what it means.

[luxuryflower]

It shan't cease reminding me of snakes, that word. Vile creatures.

[directives]

I never had much of a problem with snakes, personally.

[luxuryflower]

Ah, how I loathed harvest when I was a child! The fields were full of them. How can one not find them utterly disgusting?

[hexuality]

Cunning, resourcefulness, ambition.

[She can't let her bias show here, not when it's her friends. She can't dislike Slytherin on principle here, no one knows the history and she can't know the future in her own world, if the reputation changes.]

Well done.

voice;

[directives]

Sounds about right.

[ she can't argue with that. woman's too slytherin to even be considered for one of the other houses. ]

voice;

[hexuality]

You don't seem to bothered by a talking hat.

It gave me Hufflepuff. Barely even touched my head before it yelled that.

[ loyalty and all that. no one's surprised. ]

Ginny says those sorted into Slytherin are supposed to be cunning, resourceful, and ambitious. Can't really argue with that.

What's yours supposed to be?

[ slytherin. hufflepuff. ridiculous. ]

audio » starfleet comm frequency;

[chakotay]

Loyal and hardworking, according to Dr. McCoy and I think he got it from Ginny. Both of ours sound accurate.

[ scarily so, even if the whole slytherin and hufflepuff thing is weird. ]

Are these the only two?

» audio

[excelsiors]

I have it on good authority that it's a bit more complicated than that.

» audio

[directives]

I certainly hope so.

[ but she sounds doubtful in a "this whole thing is ridiculous" kind of way. ]

[hischair]

Got the lion, myself. Gryffindor.

[directives]

You got a lion and I'm stuck with a snake. Hardly fair.

Haaay Gurl Haaaay.

[lefthandedgenius]

[Lydia, She of the Impeccable Taste, is wearing a cunningly draped Slytherin striped scarf, giving the end a little flourish wave.]

Great minds, and all.

:3

[directives]

[ thanks to ginny, she recognizes those colors as the ones belonging to slytherin. but she isn't as into the idea of being sorted into these "houses" as others are, thus will be refraining from indulging in such things as wearing the colors of "her" house. (at least, not until she's cursed out of her mind and believes she's actually a part of the potterverse.) ]

I thought great minds were supposed to think for themselves.

[vengefully]

I got that one too. It's supposed to mean something?

[directives]

Apparently it means we're cunning, resourceful, and ambitious.

[aggressor]

Hufflebluff...? Captain, is this some kind of practical joke?

audio.

[directives]

I think that's Hufflepuff and not Hufflebluff. [ but she could be wrong, who even knows. this is so ridiculous, she can't. tom's damned captain proton holonovels make more sense. ] Same as Chakotay and Doctor McCoy.

No, it's a curse. Which might as well be a joke.

[ often, a cruel one. you missed the curse that reduced her to a science geek of an ensign, b'elanna. poor chakotay had no idea what to do with her. ]
