Look, just give Lolus a kebab and he'll be on his way. His messy, garlic-scented, hopefully-meat-filled way.

---

1) Hi! I'm Wobbles the Clown, I'm a human, and I'm originally from a very stupid place! It wasn't a fun time being the comic relief in a Twilight badfic, but I'm doing okay now. Least, I think so, but I guess I prolly would.

2) Most people know me, if they know me at all, from my TV stuff, which means I work with my buddies in the A/V Division a lot. When it comes to active duty, I work in DF, and so does my partner! Her name is the Notary and she's a Time Grump! And also kind of a horrible person! Who we tolerate anyway!

Okay, that wasn't fair. The Notary's been through a capital-L Lot over the years. Time War stuff, relationship breakdowns... it all affects people different ways. Some people come back from a bad place and find out they've taken it with them, and that can drag you down into an even worse place than the one you left. She's trying to move on, though. I've seen it myself. Jenni's certainly helping her do that, and, well.

I didn't do my part, at least not until recently. But I'm trying to be better too.

3) Oh, gosh, um. Iunno. I mean, I was a teenager when I was in my homefic, but I mighta been in my early twenties, and it's been a while since I got outta there, and time passes kinda weird... man, I'm just gonna call it quits at twenty-eight and stay that way until the greasepaint stops hidin' the wrinkles.

4) I'm a big girl. Six foot one and, uh, fakecoughingnoise pounds. Am I allowed to put that? No? Aw, beans. Okay, 307. I don't let it slow me down, either, I've got a 40 time of 4.96, a 9'4 broad, a 33" vertical, 29 reps at 225, 7.90 3-cone, and a 4.51 shuttle. If I'd had a mom or dad, they'd say I was built like a linebacker. I... I wanted to play football, and I still like to watch it, but nobody around here seems that into it and my disability means I can't set the RC to play the games super easily. For reference, since I guess this is an interview, WSU for college and Seahawks for the NFL. Also, uh, Stallions for the AAF, I guess? I just like the team colours.

5) I work in the 2-11 demo, so it doesn't come up super often, but we've got a bunch of queer kids in the Nursery and I let them know that I'm like them too. And I'm their friend, because I'm everybody's friend, so that means it's gotta be fine! But yeah, outside the studio, I mostly go for other girls when I go for anyone at all. Demisexual biromantics represent, yo.

6) High enough to know that trying to quantify intelligence as a single number is absolutely rock-fricking-dumb.

7) Aw, beans. Uh. Hold on, lemme check, uh... carry the one... cheese and crackers, 44G? When the heck did that happen? I need new underwear. Guess this is why the sports bras have been feelin' tighter than normal lately. Oh, and I know you didn't ask, but boxers too. Life is too short and my butt is too big for teeny little panties.

8) I can't bring a lot of weapons to missions, but mostly I use a slapstick when I use anything at all. It's either that or a pogo stick. I can't use guns because of my AAT and I'm a lousy archer. Maybe I should look at crossbows...

9) Nope! The judge said that the property damage caused by my condition was not a deliberate or intentional malicious act, so legally I'm A-OK! Which is super fun for everyone!

10) I mean, no? But it's irrelevant. Having or not having sex is individual choice, and it's wrong to shame people for exercising that choice in whatever way feels right for them. Virginity's not shameful any more than getting [EXTREMELY CENSORED PORTION OF THE INTERVIEW] with five German steelworkers and a bucket of live fishing bait is. Let he who is without Lust Object cast the first stone.

11) Relationships, yeah, absolutely. I kinda don't fantasize about the act, though, y'know? Like I said, demisexual.

12) I don't really enjoy cursing much, and believe me I am super out of practice despite hanging out with the Notary a bunch, but I think my favourite is [OH CHRIST MAKE HER MOUTH STOP MAKING NOISE I FELT MY INNOCENCE DIE]. That one's in Klingon!

13) Uh, probably after the last time I went drinking with a Time Lord and a woman that manipulates probability so she wakes up feeling minty-fresh after drinking a Time Lord under the table. Yeah, the six-foot clown with the body of a defensive end is the lightweight of that group. Figure that one out.

14) Depression, angstfic-related symptoms, and a very unhealthy relationship with my emotions that I'm trying to work on. Jenni helps, which I guess isn't a surprise. The Notary's trying to help too, in her own weird way. That was a surprise, but a nice one.

15) Going back. I know I can't ever go back, the fic collapsed once the mission was over, but phobias are irrational and what's more irrational that being scared so white I look like a mime of ending up in a place it's literally impossible for me to go back to?

I guess it's, like... I worry that all this is a dream, and that I'll wake up and it'll be a dull grey rainy day, and I'll try to make toast and electrocute myself for that bitch's amusement again, just like I started every day until the PPC rescued me. I have a condition. It's not a joke. I am not a joke. I'm a clown.

Big difference.

16) Uh, technically? Clown costumes are pretty gender-neutral, but they skew more towards male with the baggy pants and the suspenders attached to the big ol' hula hoop waistband. Also the bow tie, but bow ties are cool.

17) Not right now, no. I used to be addicted to angst, just like a lot of other angstfic refugees in this place, but I've got my 10 year token. Every day is a struggle, but every day helps. It's behind me, and even if I won't be free of the urge? I'm free to act on my own desires. No script, no predetermination, just me and what I choose to do with my life. I'm recovering.

18) I haven't died yet, but I think the closest was in my first mission. We nearly got taken out by a fire elemental replacement, and I lost, like, half of my wig with that one. Plus a bunch of my real non-giant-rainbow-wig hair and my scalp got burned up but good. Which was just great.

19) Yeah, they have, and I can't thank them enough that they did. Ten years angst-free. I should talk to that other Time Lord from the Council that the Notary screwed over sometime, she looks like she needs the group's help.

20) Uh, Jenni is, but only because I help make sure the Notary gets to her appointments on time. Does that count? I'mma say it counts.

21) Six one, three hundred pounds. Of course I snore, goofus. I can't not snore. It's sleep apnoea.

22) There's no chocolate milkshake here, so no. Ah, chocolate-flavoured dairy products. My one great weakness. Y'know, I once made a chocolate milkshake with chocolate ice cream, three different chocolate bars, chocolate dessert sauce, chocolate milk powder, chocolate cake, and chocolate milk. The Notary had one sip and half a dozen FicPsych nurses had to claw her off the ceiling of the common room while the sugar rush wore off.

23) I'd say Jenni, but she can save herself. So... I really don't know. Whoever I could, I guess.

24) Uh, this morning? 7:32 sharp, like a normal person? And I will again at 6:13 tonight, also like a normal person?

25) Yes, yes, and yes.

26) Yes, yes, and yes.

27) I don't have little voices in my head, thanks. I talk to everyone though, so if there are any little voices in my head, come out and say hi! Let's be friends!

28) I received a lot of ableist bullying because of my AAT, and I'd rather not discuss it further.

29) You know that new division? Non-Propaganda Communications? The ones who do that knockoff Buzzfeed thing? They're more respectful of people and ask more interesting questions than you, an actual newspaper. Y'all have a lot to think about.

30) Try. It.
