Hailing Hufflepuff Hopefuls!

[Rue]

Hey. ;D Do you want to become a Hufflepuff, join in weird conversations about history and literature, sail the ocean in a yellow submarine, or just plain have fun RPGing? Post here to let us know you're interested, and just include a few sentences about yourself, maybe mention why you want to become a Hufflepuff...

In the Huff Commons, KoNeko, the other Huff Head of house, posted a list of things we generally look for in our applicants, which you can read here. Once you apply we'll just keep an eye on you as you get to know people and places around the board, watch to see that you're posting and enjoying yourself, and to basically make sure that you'd have fun in Hufflepuff house.

Meet people, check out the Hufflepuff Common Room, and tell us about yourselves. ;D

*wonders where all the Huff hopefuls are*

I'm thinking we need to lure newbies here. And I know just the thing.

*goes to an oven in the corner and pulls out a fresh batch or cookies. the aroma wafts off out the door and down the hall*

[Fantasia]

Hello!

Hi, I'm Fantasia. I'd like to be a Hufflepuff!

*munches on a cookie and grins at Nierme*

Ok then....I've been on the board for quite a while, I havent spammed once yet, I've taken my time in deciding on which house I want to be in, and I'm thinking y'all are the best choice for me!

I posted in all of the common/guest rooms in each house...you guess seem really nice! so, um....thanks for your time! ;D

P.S. I have a great butt.
P.P.S. I'm nearly @ 100 posts...so...ya.

[KoNeko]

Huzzah for new members!

*waves at Fantasia* Cool. Well, be sure to check out the commons and make yourself comfortable and stuff. Get to know the weirdness that is us. Rue and I will get back to you shortly.

[Fantasia]

Huzzah indeed! ;D Alas, however, we have few members. And even fewer new members! Hmm...Let's see, Ravens get their members through insane conversations and newbie napping, Gryff draws crowds because of dear ol' Harry, Slyth has that whole "evil" thing working for them, but what do we have? sure, we have great members, brilliant conversations, and the best house on the site, but what's our catchy jingle? we need a selling point. I'll work on that, and maybe we can rally our fellow members to do the same...

[Fantasia]

Piff. I refuse to have our recruiting table last on the newbie commons list. I still think we need a good angle...but in the meantime, none of you have seen a Huff hopeful, have you? We seem to be runnig low.

[Will]

pops in with an usually happy smile on her face

"Well, hello! Just thought I'd stop by and say 'hello'.... which I already did, but if you don't mind, I think I'll stick around a bit more. Oh, I haven't seen a Huffle hopeful, sorry. But hey, your house is still doing well anyway!" ;D

By the way, I like the lyrics in your sig.

[Fantasia]

Thanks very much, I'm a Moulin rouge fanatic.

Not at all, you're quite welcome to stay. I'm afraid there aren't too many of us around, but we have got cookies. ;D *nods at a plate of still steaming cookies, some with yellow sprinkles and some badger-shaped* Please, help yourself.

[Will]

Thank you! Wow, with cookies like these, I’m surprised no one has been coming in and out of this place. It smells delicious. But I think all the houses are running low on hopefuls. We only have one right now… if you don’t count Minih.

[Fantasia]

Hmmm....Minih? That name sound familiar. Who is that? *smiles curiously, grabs a badger cookie, and falls heavily into a yellow beanbag chair*

[Will]

Heehee… Not surprised that you don’t know him. Minih was pretty much like the TD Slytherin founder. The very first Slytherin HoH, me thinks... He’s been gone for some time now so we gave him the Alumni statues, but now he’s back and applying for Slytherin… which he really doesn't have to.

-grabs a cookie and takes a bite-

[Fantasia]

Hmmm...that's interesting. So he's sort of like a living legend? Very interesting. I'm glad you're getting back an old member. That must be pretty cool. And I'd imagine some of the older members will remember him. A bit odd from my point of view, though. No offence, of course. *takes a bite*

[Will]

It is a bit odd… I hardly know the guy, but according to the older members, he was a… very good Slytherin and fantastic fanfic writer? Something like that. He made Slytherin the hardest house to get into which I find pretty cool. However, after a while of no hopefuls it gets a bit depressing.

Now all of a sudden he’s back and I’m sort of lost in what to do.

[Fantasia]

Well, you are a fantastic HoH, and I'm sure you'll do the right thing. I can see how awkward it would be though...especially if he was the original Slytherin Head. I myself have no experience in the matter, so I won't even try to make a suggestion. Just do whatever you like.

Hmmm. By making it a hard house to get into, do you mean he had a high post count requirement? Or a certain Slythie traits, as Salazar Slytherin himself possessed? That would certainly dissuade me.

[Will]

Why, thank you… though I do have room for improvement.

I’m not sure what he did exactly. He could have been picky and only accepted the hopefuls who showed that they would be dedicated members? I really can’t say.

-takes another bite-
