*grins* Hi, Jesika. Welcome to our treehouse. My name is KoNeko, I'm one of the Hufflepuff Heads of House. Rue's the other HoH, and I'm sure you'll get to know the rest of us. I just missed you in the Newbie commons room the other day; how are you finding your way around?

*smiles and offers a hug* Hey there Jesika! Glad you stumbled into this area. Don't be fooled by the size of this place, because the heart of it is same all around:)

*Rue's stomach rumbles loudly and she quickly looks around the room*
Erh... Hm. I think it's time to break out some of the food again. Does anyone want me to get them anything while I'm up? Jesika, we have pretty much anything you can imagine... I think I'll go for a milkshake and cookies myself. ;D
*Rue gets up and goes over to the food, beginning to mix certain ingredients together*

*Jesika smiles brightly at KoNeko*
It's a very large place but I'm getting around okay I guess. Almost everyone has been friendly. I haven't gotten much of a response about the Slytherin house yet. So...
*hugs moira back*
Very nice to meet you.
*laughs a little*

Oooh Rue, could you get me a chocolate cherry milkshake please while you're up? I've never been fond of cherry products but I had one of these the other day and they're delicious.
*smiles* Jes (can I call you that for short?), do you know which house you want to apply for? Usually most people take their time in deciding and familiarise themselves with the place first instead of diving headfirst into a house (unless of course you're REALLLLLY sure that's where you want to go). So, what's your experience of Hogwarts (er... TrapDoor) been like so far? You know, you are very welcome to hang out here and get to know us and stuff. If you want, we can show you around and everything.

Yeah, you can definitely ask us if you have any questions about Hufflepuff or the message board in general, or you can just hang out and see how you like the atmosphere.
*grins* Mm... chocolate cherry milkshake. I usually don't like cherry products either because (I bet you'd never thought you'd hear me say this) it's like they're too sweet. But... I'll try my hand at making one. *opens up a few drawers to get all the materials, stands there contemplating them for a minute, then gives it a go*

Jes is fine. My boyfriend back home calls me that so...it'll be kinda nice to hear it again. I really appreciate you not minding me just hanging out here and seeing what the house is all about. How many members do you have?

Well, there's currently five of us: Myself, Rue, Moira (you can call her Smiles if you want), D (the token guy) and Fantasia (the baby badger... she's 14. But she hasn't been around for a while...).
We're a really friendly bunch and we like intelligent conversation and stuff every now and then. We also seem to talk about food a lot (not intentionally, but the conversation just goes there...). Anyway, there's a lot more to us than that, but I'm sure you'll pick that up soon.
Anyway, tell us a little bit about yourself...

Not much to tell about me. Im 17 (18 in 4 months...wo0t!) haha...i think that's it...Full name is Jesika Bridget Kirkconnell...
*smiles slightly*
What else ya wanna know??

Wow, Kirkconnell is a pretty cool last name... is that Irish? I think Fan has a little bit of Irish blood in her, and so does En, who's the Ravenclaw HoH. Anyway, how about a cup of tea, or coffee or cocoa while we talk?
*walks over to counter where the kettle is boiling*
I know that you've been taking your time with each of the houses. That's good... a lot of people just jump right in to a house they "like" based on the HP books and film. You'll probably have noticed that we have our own spin on the interpretation of houses. Anyway, just out of curiosity, how do you perceive the four houses here? I'm just interested to get a non-house member's opinion!

Kirkconnell is scottish actually...
*smiles*
Well, so far...the Slytherin's are outrageously funny (and sexy from what I've heard) but keep to themselves for the most part, Hufflepuff is a lot of fun and would be totally fun to be in much like Gryffindor. Gryf's and Huff's get along really well from what I have seen but then again everyone gets along here. Gryffindor's are very very friendly and willing to help anybody find their way around. I have heard absolutley nothing from one single Ravenclaw...I don't think. I went into their 'Random room' and said hey and no one has said anything back..so I can't really have an opinion about them. It seems to me this En character runs the board with the rest of the ravenclaws...busy people...
At the moment I am debating between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor. But truth be told if I were to apply to a house strictly by my favourite in the books I wuold go with Slytherin...I'm a awfully mischievious at heart...
*laughs softly*

Scottish? Sorry, my mistake! What would I know though, I'm Chinese!
Ahhh yes. The elusive Ravenclaws. Actually the reason for that (to my knowledge anyway) is because they're all really busy and aren't online that often. They had to graduate a lot of their members to alumni status (which is what you can earn if you're a house member for a long time and contribute etc. and have to leave) because those members had a lot of IRL stuff going on. But when they're around they're a really funny, crazy bunch. And yes, En is the administrator of the board. S/he is a white oak (En's an animagus but with trees... like a botanomagus or something?) and they change gender every year, so you might see a lot of s/he or shis or hir (like a mix of his and her) references around when we talk about En.
The Slythies have this thing about sexiness. I'm not sure how to explain it, but apparently all Sytherins are sexy by nature! They've got the SS Clubhouse down at their commons, and I was an Honorary SS member for a while. We were organising some sort of fashion show or something but I don't that eventuated. But yeah, they have the most stringent acceptance policy on TrapDoor for new members. But they're a pretty nice bunch once you crack them. And yes, they do have a cheeky streak every now and then, but they're not as mean or anything as the Slythies in the HP books...
And as for the Gryffs (now that I seem to be doing a house by house analysis! ), yes, well we seem to get on alright with all the houses actually. I don't even think we have the rivalry that Gryffs/Slyths seem to have, although every now and then we have jokes about the house comp (once you join a house, you'll get access to our secret room, whihc is where we do the house comp and have other fun things like our photo album and stuff) but it's all good. I'm actually quite honoured that you're considering joining our house, since we're quite small and everything, and usually most people look straight to Gryffindor or Slytherin (based on the books and the films).
*hands Jes a mug* Cocoa? Anyway, tell me more about this mischief you get up to...

Hey guys! Happy Halloween! Oh, and trick or treat! Sorry, I would come all the way in, but my costume is a teensy bit too big to fit through. Going as a Rubric Cube doesn't seem like such a good idea anymore.
But anyway, anyone hadning out candy? And does anyone want to join me on my collection rounds?

*Hurrah for the not so elusive Ravenclaws. *
*climbs the stairs to the tree house in a rather grumpy mood*
Some genius mistook me for a trashcan and chased my down the hall trying to get rid of their rotten banana. This costume didn't make my escape any quicker.
OooOooO. I should forget about the treat part of tonight and make it strictly trick, that'll show them..... but then there won't be chocolate....

You picked an awkward costume too, huh? I hope it doesn't reflect on our real intelligence. I mean, after all, everyone should know we Ravens are geniuses, and that it's the rest of the world that's confused.
Do you suppose anyone will be giving out cheese for treats?
