Hello everyone! It's time for...

Sorting Hat RP's Test Drive Meme!

This is all quite simple. Go to every Rper's favourite random number generator, and generate a number. Then post with the character you're considering apping here, along with the prompt you got! But don't just post with your character! Other people will be coming in, of course, so don't hesitate to reply to other people's comments!


1. Potions mixing! Such an under-appreciated art in the wizardry world, yet so crucial. So many things can go wrong, too...

2. Flying! Are you a first timer being taught by an older student? Are you just taking your new broom out for a spin? Either way, Hogwart's grounds provide a large field for you to fly around. Just be careful not to land in the Forbidden Forest.

3. The library. Such a large, useful resource that Hogwarts has. Are you there for your homework? Are you just a bookworm doing research for the sake of research? Either way, you better not try to get in the restricted section without permission! Dark magic lurks therein.

4. Sneaking out! Those dorms are boring, and school is so much more interesting at night... Just be careful not to get caught. Or to walk through a ghost. If you're a teacher, keep up the good work of keeping an eye out for those rascals!

5. Detention! If you get caught stepping over the line, you're put to work. So off you go, cleaning the trophy room with no magic, find wounded animals in the Forbidden Forest (watch out for the werewolves), or gut small animals for potion ingredient. Or maybe you're a teacher! Just waiting for the naughty student you caught to report for duty in the task you have in store for them.

6. Hogsmeade. Everyone needs a break from that big castle, and every student above third year with permission can visit the village on select weekends. Teachers, of course, can visit it whenever they want. There's pubs where you can drink butterbeer, stores to buy new school supplies or clothes, owls to rent, go wild!

7. The life of the paintings is a boring one, and when you have all the time of the world and little to do, you do what is easiest: talking. And boy, do the paintings like to talk. In fact, they're the prime source of gossip at Hogwarts! What juicy things has your character heard from these decorative blabbermouths?

8. Quidditch try outs! Are you a hopeful, trying to make this year the one where you take Hogwart's Quidditch league by storm? Are you a captain, dutifully watching for a diamond in the rough? Or are you just a spectator, watching everything unfold for espionage, schadenfreude, or just excitement at your team?

9. Hogswarts express! Are you a bitty first year, finding a place for your own, and maybe trying to make new friends? Are you an older student, catching up with your friends? Either way, a long trip like that is much spent with people than all alone, no?

10. Wildcard. Pick any of the scenarios above, or make your own.

[Call Dave a complete heretic for never following Quidditch, he doesn't care. Okay, he'll play a very casual game of it if he's got nothing better to do. He still doesn't follow it or worship the sport like it's some sort of religious activity for magical folk to follow.

The only reason anybody can get him to play is because of one thing, and one thing only. Dave can motherfucking fly, and that's the coolest thing ever. As long as the broom's decent, he'll fly it. It's calming to him, it makes him focus, and above all, he feels like all his worries and frustrations and self-doubts are left on the ground.

It's nothing short of pure liberation.

Today's a good day to take out a broomstick, so why the hell not? Dave is up in the air doing a few tricks.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Bro enjoys flying, too. It must be something that runs in the family, because he's always loved it. Just the same as Dave, it helps clear his mind and it's just downright cathartic. So that's what brings him to the pitch today, because he can use the chance to get his mind off of shit.

He's pretty glad to see Dave out there when he shows up, his own broom in hand. It's been a while since they've done anything together, what with life and school for him getting in the way. Their schedules just conflict way too damn much sometimes.

A second later, he's on his broom and flying casually towards Dave.]

Hey, man.

Hope you weren't looking forward to having an irritant-free fly.

[candycrabapple]

[Karkat wasn't looking for Dave, as far as he was concerned he could have happily spent the rest of the day Strider free. But after he had spend all morning beating his brain against all his homework, even Karkat had felt the need to get out and stretch his legs before trying to cause more cramping to his limbs when he gets back to the rest of his homework.

So seeing Dave up in the sky he rolls his eyes and feels the need to comment.]

Oh yes, congratulations. You've managed to do what birds have being doing for years. I only hope that a swallow flies into your face for insulting it by poorly imitating it's tricks.

[wwistful]

[Murdoc has been watching Dave for a short while. He's been looking around for him for a while now and he'd hoped he might get his attention quite quickly. No dice. Still, he's a fairly talented flyer if not a little showy for the asshole professor's tastes, so it's interesting to see.

Finally, when he's in Dave's line of sight, he waves him down so he knows he needs to speak to him.]

[It's late at night, the time when 'really late' starts transforming into 'really early.' In particular, it's the time of night when students who want to be awake for their classes tomorrow have gone to bed.

Apparently, Dirk doesn't care about staying awake tomorrow, or he just doesn't think he needs the sleep, because he's up and about, sneaking through the school like some kind of ninja wizard, dodging teachers and not even relying on lumos to help him navigate.

He's not coming from the direction of his dorm, either. Whatever he's up to, it's curious, very curious.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Bro doesn't need an excuse to be out this time of morning. No excuse at all, because he is a teacher and teachers can do whatever the fuck they want. Which is why he was off being a teacher and going on a latenight kitchen raid, because fuck it sometimes you just need a house elf to cater to your demands and give you tasty food.

He wasn't expecting to run (almost quite literally, because yeah he doesn't need lumos either) into Dirk on the way back to his quarters.]

The fuck are you doing here?

[crockofsugar]

[Jane would be a very, very poor detective if she didn't find Dirk's behavior to be outrageously odd. Though, really, nothing happening at this hour could be anything but odd. (Jane has a perfectly valid excuse, though. She was in the kitchens with the house elves, and one of them very kindly asked her to retrieve a cookbook from the library.)

Jane didn't really understand magical cooking, but that was irrelevant right now.]

What are you doing up so late?

[Man...she really needs to work on her dramatic, investigatory hissing.]

[urnewkingbitch]

[It's like insomnia is bred into Striders for some sick reason. Well, whatever, Dave's out and about himself. The only reason he notices Dirk is because he's used to these shenanigans.]

Can't sleep, bro?

[brothor]

[Some people don't navigate as well as Dirk. Some are not particularly graceful, either. Some people get stomach rumblings in the deep of the night and feel the need to attempt sneaking about the halls in order to soothe their hunger.

Most of these people are known as Thor, and this Thor is in such a hurry to return to his dorm that he collides with Dirk in the darkness of the halls. A veritable tidal wave of dinner rolls fall out of his arms as he does and he curses in Norwegian as he scrambles to pick them up.]

If you are a professor I can explain! [he can't see for shit in this dark.]

[In Meenah's opinion rules were for chumps, and a chump Meenah Peixes was not. So it's not surprising that she's slipped out of her dorms and is not taking a lazy wander around the school at sometime past midnight. Her black combat boots probably aren't the smartest choice in footwear but hey they go with her dark jeans and the band shirt she stole off one of the muggleborn students (Though yes, she had at least heard some of the Rolling Stones stuff). Her wand light glints off the piercing through her eyebrow and its quite clear she gives no fucks that all good 14 year olds should be in bed. She is clearly bad to the bone.]

[wwistful]

[It's your lucky day, isn't it? This guy is on watch duty tonight and he just so happens to be rounding the corner as she approaches. He quirks an eyebrow at her as he sees her, he knows damn well she has ~rebellious~ tendencies but sometimes he's found her favour is easily won by being something they call "badass".

However, now is not the time for that. Now is the time to shoo her back to bed before somebody who isn't biased catches her.]

Trouble sleepin'?

fgdfjhgf i love you <3

[bubblingover]

[Feferi might not be in the same house as her sister, but it's not like she oblivious to what her sister's does. So of course, she decides to break the rules herself and go after her, she keeps thinking that maybe if one day her sister will listen to her.

It doesn't take her long to find her, she knows that Meenah usually takes the same path, so she comes up behind her and whisper furiously at her.]

Meenah, what are you doing??

[nevertwice]

[Detention isn't new to Brandon. It's not. He's an unrepentant asshole who doesn't listen to and who defies authority figures. It's his thing. Talking back and being a nuisance gets him attention, and he thrives off of it.

He goes to detention, of course. Some of the teachers are pretty smokin', and he'll use any opportunity he gets to flirt with them. He's shameless. He hopes that this time he hasn't been pawned off on some ugly teacher or staff member, and that he'll be lucky and he'll have another student to work with. He'll just have to see what's in store.]

Re: 5

[nunganunga_k_o]

[Detention is also not new to Georgia because what was the point of being young and filled with joie de vivre if you were going to colour inside the lines? Well there wasn't any point.

Which is what she was trying to tell the Librarian when she just so happened to innocently doodle in a library book, but you can't tell people. Hence the detention.

But at least she wasn't all aloney on her owney. It looked like they'd gathered some other delinquents to join in on the torture.]

Do you think this would be any less boring if we were being strung up by our ankles?

[nautiebynature]

[Nautilus is sitting in the stands watching try outs and oh my gosh there is just so much excitement!

There were so many talented prospective Quidditch players lining up for the grand chance of playing one of Hogwarts prestigious teams! In the long History of Hogwarts, Quidditch had always been a time honoured sport and a shining example of wizarding heritage and–

Oh my, someone just fell off their broom with quite a thud.

She wondered if that hurt their chances any.]

[savviest]

[The moment the poor sap hits the ground, Jack (who happens to be sitting a row behind you) is going to let out a roar of approval. He's clapping his hands so loud it practically echoes through the stands and he bellows out to the player from his seat.]

ENCORE! ENCORE! Jolly good show! Make 'im the captain! [He takes a swig from a flask that is clearly full of butter beer] What a tosser.

5. um hi \o

[not_a_troll]

[Loki has tried his very best to convince the teacher that it has not been his fault. But the classroom looked rather nice covered in green ooze.

Unfortunately things were looking less fun right now. He is sitting behind one of the small desks in front of the class and before him is a rather large pile of froglegs that he has to grind to powder.

Truly a tedious job and it shows on his face when he starts stomping the first legs to a not-so-powdery pulp.]

Hey! \o

[fuckmackandme]

Stupid rats and their stupid livers...

[John, meanwhile, is at work gutting small rats and taking their tiny, tiny, livers, with nothing but a knife and his trusty dragon skin gloves. It's messy, it's disgusting, and so not appropriate punishment for being caught putting glue on a few doorknobs.]

Stupid, stupid, stupid, oh god this one's just stunned, nooooooo...

NOT LATE

[brothor]

[After discovering his brother had landed himself in detention, Thor did what any well behaved and absolutely stern older brother would do. He deliberately got himself put in detention so he could spend some quality time with his beloved mischief making brother. However, unlike Loki, Thor seems to be having a world of fun with his frog grinding!! His arms are fairly strong from quidditch training, so he's able to turn the frogs to dust in quick time.

He glances over at Loki, raising an eyebrow at his work and speaking in what he thinks is a whisper.]

You need to put your back into it, brother! Otherwise you will end up with frog lumps!

Howdy howdy!

[bundangos]

[ Usagi is a few seats down staring at her newts that she has to take the eyes out of. Which isn't fair, she only slept in on her potions class four times, she still made it before the class finished.]

This isn't faaair.

[She whines as she pokes at the newts head, it's warm and tacky to the touch.]

And groooooss!!

Feel free to assume knowledge about Tony because he's friends with Thor!!

[arrogantalloy]

[After managing to piss of Herbert enough for him to explode during class, Tony manage to get himself into a detention he couldn't talk his way out of for a change. He was meant to be pulling off dragonfly wings, and while he was slowly doing it he'd slowed down enough too look around the room. Spotting Loki, he had decided to bother him.]

Hey, kid.

[wolfishbastard]

[The good thing about the bastard son of a Pureblood family, John had found, was that at family parties, he was largely left to his own devices. This meant that his alcohol consumption wasn't monitored as closely as his sibling's, if at all. He was, after all, someone treated largely as if he had no blood ties to the family, especially by his stepmother. Sometimes, when at the Three Broomsticks at Hogsmeade, he found himself missing that freedom. Today was one of these times; as much as he enjoyed butterbeer, it didn't have nearly the same euphoric effect as the stronger drinks his parents served his guests.

Whether or not he needed something like that, however, was something he was sure a lot of people would argue. His fifteenth birthday had come and gone, his father was no closer to telling him about his mother, and any mentions of her were still likely to get cold silence from him, if not a calm yet sharp remark about how forbidden the matter was.

Granted, he'd made progress; his father had finally relented and promised to tell him all about his mother... When he reached adulthood. So he had two more long years before knowing anything at all. This frustrated him. What was so important about his mother that required all the waiting and silencing?

And those were the thoughts that ran through his head as he nursed the third butterbeer, sitting at a window-side table in The Three Broomsticks. He obviously looks quite mopey.]

Well hello there.

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony had found himself in the Broomsticks without anyone with him for a change, which suited him fine, because as much as Tony did love his attention, sometimes he enjoyed his moments alone. After ordering his butterbeer however, seeing John by the window looking mopey, he really couldn't bring himself to let him be alone with his thoughts too long. So picking up his mug, Tony comes over and just slides into the seat across from him.]

You know long faces are only meant for horses, right?

[mo_cara]

[Have an exceedingly tall young man come slouching over and then leaning on a chair near John, grinning lazily down at him.] Motherfucker, you look like you need a wicked strong drink.

[yallcanttouchthis]

[Who really cares about studying or all that jazz anymore? Not this girl, that's for sure. Explains why she's breaking all the rules and sneaking out for a midnight stroll around the grounds and taking the necessary precautions to make sure she won't get caught. Just because she didn't like rules didn't mean that she couldn't be weary of those that enforced them after all.]

[3potionproblem]

[Having a similar idea, Sherlock was almost surprised to see someone else outside at such an unusual hour. Ah well, loyalty among thieves and the like.]

Bit late to be out on your own.
