interviewer: how would you describe your usual style? limit your answer to the top five articles of clothing/accessories.
lou: whatever's easy to move around in. i tend to dance. a lot.
will: shirts, trousers. stuff that's simple but keeps you looking presentable.
lou: *whispers* teach me.
interviewer: you have just entered the train platform, and the train is about to leave. Do you (a) run before the doors close or (b) wait 10 minutes until the next train comes along?
lou: *interrupting the interviewer before he can finish* RUN LIKE HELL
will: obviously it makes more sense to wait. on the plus side, there's more time to read too.
interviewer: you forget to study for today's potions test. what do you do?
lou: i always forget about potions tests. on purpose. i hate that class. buuuut i guess i would try to copy or just... do whatever i can.
will: *wide eyed* me? forget a potions test? never. that's sacrilege.
interviewer: do you wear perfume, and if so, what kind? if not, how do people describe your scent?
lou: i kind of have to, with all the quidditch, and dancing, and pranking--
will: pranking?
lou: it's an art.
will: *blinks*
will: ...
will: i wear perfume too.
interviewer: what would you do if you catch your friend cheating on a test?
lou: help them of course!
will: *eyeing eloise with suspicion* i, uh, i would just keep that information to myself. i'd rather not attract attention by telling on someone.
interviewer: what would you say is the quickest way to your heart?
lou: chocolate. or food. or puppies. any animal really. OH even--
will: surgery.
lou: *looking at him weirdly*
will: oh you meant... not literally... ?
lou: why would anyone want to literally get to your heart? that's the stuff of horror movies!
will: *looking around nervously* is... is this not a test?
lou: we should move on to the next question.
interviewer: what would you do if you got detention for something your friend did?
lou: nothing really. it's probably happened before, and the roles have probably been reversed too. i'm too used to detention to be bothered by it, and i'm certainly not bothered for taking the fall for a friend.
will: i wouldn't say anything. it's a rare thing though, there aren't many friends that i've got.
lou: HOW HAVE WE NOT MET YET
interviewer: what's your favorite dish?
lou: trick question. that is impossible to choose. i love everything. although the french have some questionable food choices.
will: tomato soup. mum makes it when i'm sick.
lou: *tearing up*
will: *worried* did i say something wrong... ?
lou: *wipes her eyes vigorously* not at all, you tree-like human.
interviewer: how do you sleep? do you sleep on your back, sideways, like a log, etc.? do you need plenty of pillows or just one?
lou: i don't really know. i think i'm all over the place but then again... i'm dead to the world when i'm asleep. but the more pillows, the better! *daydreaming about how comfy it would be*
will: usually on my back with a pillow under my knees. i've read that it's the healthiest position.
interviewer: you've just received a love letter. it's signed by someone you know. who's the first person who popped into your mind just now?
lou: ugh, probably jasper. it's most definitely a prank. hold on, i have to plan a retaliation. *gets up to leave*
interviewer: oh, no, it's just hypothetical, there's no actual--
will: she's gone.
interviewer: what is your fondest childhood memory?
lou: when my dad came home with my first pair of ballet slippers.
will: *thinking* i suppose when my mum first introduced me to a book. best decision ever made.
interviewer: you show up for a party and someone you don't know punches you in the face without warning. what do you do?
lou: well it was obviously an accident, wasn't it? no need to do anything back. if it's someone that knows me then it's a whole different question... *suddenly lost in thought*
will: *looking at eloise nervously* i would leave... and in any case, i would never go to a party. too many people.
interviewer: what is the most embarrassing thing that ever happened (or could happen) to you?
lou: i'm not usually embarrassed by my actions. i own them. *fails at dramatic hair flipping*
will: hard to say. i try my best not to be around too many people so the chances are that if i do something embarrassing, people might not be around to see it.
interviewer: what is your ideal date?
lou: doing something fun. it doesn't matter what it is as long as it's a fun date.
will: july 21st. the weather would probably be quite nice then, based on what i've read.
lou: ... *facepalm*
will: *looking around nervously* did i say something wrong?
interviewer: what's the first thing you would buy if you won the lottery?
lou: buy my parents a nice, big house in france, so they'd never have to struggle again.
will: more books? i don't know, i already have everything that i want. *shrugs* maybe give it away to someone who needs it more.
interviewer: if you could excel in anything in just a snap of a finger, what would it be?
lou: tests. so i wouldn't have to study. not that i do anyway but it would definitely make things easier.
will: maybe talking to people better. i suppose it would be easier if i was more social...
lou: i think you're fine the way you are.
will: not a lot of people think that.
lou: who cares?
will: ...
will: maybe we should move on to the next question.
interviewer: how high is your alcohol tolerance?
lou: very high. like, super high.
lou: ...
lou: okay it's not high at all.
will: i don't drink alcohol. never have.
interviewer: what are you like when drunk?
lou: i don't remember but some people told me that i dance. like, more than usual, anyway. there was one incident where i tried to fly through the quidditch hoops and screamed goal every time i did it successfully...
will: *mildly horrified* that's what alcohol does to you? i've read about intoxicated states but didn't realise it could get so bad. i stand by my decision of never drinking.
lou: well you're a bucket of sunshine.
interviewer: how do you like your eggs?
lou: fried, but a little runny.
will: i don't really have a preference.
interviewer: given the choice between death by fire or death by ice, which would you choose?
lou: that's a rather morbid question... where did you say you were from again?
will: *looking horrified* ice. any day ice. i hate fire.
interviewer: would you kill one person to save hundreds?
lou: YOU CAN'T ASK ME THAT AND ACTUALLY EXPECT AN ANSWER *storms off*
will: ...
will: i will admit, your line of questioning has deviated into slightly... dark territory.
interviewer: how do you like your steak? rare, medium rare, medium raw, or well-done?
lou: *hasn't returned from storming off*
will: well-done. otherwise i'd keep worrying that i'd pick up some sort of disease.
interviewer: do you prefer a store-bought gift or something handmade?
lou: handmade. it's much more personal.
interviewer: you're back?
lou: well, your questions make more sense now.
lou: ...
lou: and i left my bag here.
will: i agree though. handmade is much more personal.
interviewer: describe yourself in one word.
lou: *thinking long and hard*
will: um... well-read?
lou: *still thinking*
lou: ...
lou: short? i can't do this, it's too hard.
