  1. Ahh yes! Welcome to the interview! Please introduce yourself: name, species, continuum of origin?

    I: I'm Sir Ialthos, Knight of the Realm or whatever the bloody title is.

    F: And I'm Ferrux, dragon in residence. Don't give me that look, I don't bite. Much. Unless you're especially tasty...

    I: Ferrux, don't scare the interviewer.

    2. So, what department are you in, and who is your partner?

    F: DF, seconded to DBS at present. They seem to think we have some kind of expertise in same-sex relationships.

    I: We do have expertise in same-sex relationships.

    F: That's why they think that.

    I: ...I technically can't argue.

    3. Let’s start with the basic questions. How old are you?

    F: Lost track.

    I: You're... what, five years on me?

    F: I'd hope so. It's... what, (age/2)+7? I don't want weird looks from people.

    I: Ferrux... don't worry about that. You get plenty of weird looks already.

    F: I attract attention like the distinguished gentleman that I am.

    I: And who showed up to the interview in a T-Shirt?

    F: Another agent gave it to me free! How could I say no to that?

    4. Height and weight?

    F: In human form, or not?

    I: Sufficient.

    F: Erm... That's not an answer, Ial.

    I: Do you want to spend more time getting a proper one?

    F: ...Point taken.

    5. Sexual orientation?

    I: Straight, but I have a certain affection for a special someone-kun...

    F: Chuckles. You're an idiot.

    I: Well, I did flunk advanced mathematics... yeah, gay.

    F: Very gay.

    I: So gay.

    6. IQ?

    F: That's a thing? Can I have one?

    I: As the dumb muscle in residence, I'd flunk.

    F: Ial, stop insulting yourself.

    I: I'm just telling the truth.

    F: The education requirements for a Knight disagree...

    7. Bra size? / Boxers or briefs?

    I: Boxers.

    F: Boxers.

    I: How often do you wear underwear?

    F: I'm wearing underwear right now! See?

    I: Those are your pants.

    F: Oh. Well, then I'm not wearing any underwear.

    I: Sometimes, honestly...

    8. Let’s cut the boring questions. Firstly, how many weapons are currently on your person?

    I: I have a sword!

    F: I could turn into a dragon at any time. Weapons not required. I heard someone in Rudi's said I have guns, but I don't like firearms really... Ial, what are you doing?

    I: Stifling laughter. Nothing... Have I told you you're adorable today?

    F: Yes, yes you have. Repeatedly.

    I: You're adorable. Like a giant teddy bear, I swear.

    F: Awww... thanks!

    9. Are you wanted for any crimes?

    F: Well, I haven't set anything on fire in a while...

    I: Hey, I covered up all my questionably legal activities in foreign countries.

    F: I helped!

    I: ...while watching to see if I was secretly sleeping with someone else.

    F: Which he wasn't!

    I: I resented your intrusion on my privacy at the time, but in retrospect I'm just glad someone else was around to help burn the bodies.

    F: Yay draconic greed and over-protectiveness!

    I: ...There's so much wrong with that I don't even know where to begin.

    F: Are we gonna have to talk about this again?

    I: Nah, I think we worked it out last time.

    10. And the age-old ‘Are you a virgin?’

    laughter.

    11. Do you ever fantasize about same-sex relations?

    harder laughter.

    12. Lovely. So, what is your favorite curse word?

    F: Teakettle.

    I: Belgium. How is teakettle a curseword?

    F: Teakettles are tiny metal false dragons.

    I: ...I can argue with that, but I think I'm just going to laugh.

    13. When was the last time you threw up?

    F: Dunno.

    I: Yeah, I have no idea either.

    14. Have any mental illnesses?

    I: I fell in love with a giant goofy idiot...

    F: I fell in love with an overly-serious doofus...

    I: ...Right, we're allowed to hug during the interview, right?

    15. What is your biggest phobia?

    F: Not answering any questions, still hugging.

    I: Agreed.

    16. Do you crossdress often?

    F: Nope! But now I kinda wanna try...

    I: Ferrux no.

    F: Ferrux yes!

    I: ...Alright. I mean, I guess you could probably pull off a dress if you were careful.

    F: I could totally kill it in a dress.

    I: The only problem would be if it ripped...

    F: Hey, I'm a guy! Nobody cares if I'm naked!

    I: If only...

    17. Have any addictions?

    I: Nope.

    F: Does Ialthos count?

    18. What is the closest you have ever been to dying? Or have you ever died?

    F: Well, there was that time Ialthos almost tried to kill me, but that wasn't that close... There was the orcs... The goblins... The fishmen... The demons in search of high-class cuisine...

    I: That was a weird one.

    F: Seriously, what was their deal?

    19. Have the FicPsych nurses ever taken you away?

    I: Well, they took Ferrux away while he running naked through the halls.

    F: I keep telling you! It's okay if you're a guy!

    I: Where did you even get that idea?

    20. Are the FicPsych nurses after you?

    F: Nope! I'm totally sane!

    I: If I dispute that, he'll make me sleep on the couch. But yeah, he's sane. Just... weird. And adorable. And he makes me smile.

    F: Aww... could it be that you... blush... like me?

    I: Well, I married you for a reason?

    21. Do you snore?

    I: No.

    F: No.

    I: Yes he does.

    F: I do? Jeez, I'll have to work on that.

    I: Eh, I'm used to it. It's kinda soothing, honestly.

    F: ...You have strange ideas of what's soothing.

    I: Says you.

    22. Are you drooling right now?

    F: Yup!

    I: ...You're not drooling at all.

    F: Drooling is a state of mind.

    23. Let’s say that HQ was about to explode, and you could save one other person in here. Who would you choose?

    F: Ialthos.

    I: Ferrux.

    24. When was the last time you used the toilet?

    I: What kind of a question is that?

    F: I'm with you on this one. Seriously. Weird.

    25. Have you ever kissed a girl? / a boy? / another species??

    F: kisses Ialthos

    I: Mmmph! Grins broadly. Man... you have to stop doing that...

    F: Your grin says otherwise.

    I: Stupid, adorable dragon...

    26. Did you like it?

    F: Yes!

    I: Yes. God dammit Ferrux...

    27. The little voices in your head. Do you talk to them?

    F: They make amazing cookies! Isn't that right, voices?

    I: He's joking. I think.

    28. Were you made fun of in school? Why?

    I: I was too boring to make fun of.

    F: School? My dad dragged me to the local stock exchange and I had to spend a week on half-rations if I lost too much money.

    I: And you wonder why I'm so much better versed in the classics...

    29. I can’t think of a question to ask you. Have any comments?

    F: Not that I can think of...

    I: Let's get this over with.

    30. This interview has ended? Are you gleeful? Or would you like to complete our 100 question survey over thumbtacks?

    F: I dunno, that could be pretty interesting...

    I: Absolutely not.

    F: Buuuut...

    I: Hey, you're welcome to it! Just don't expect me to follow along.

    F: Eh, I'll head back with you. It's movie night, right?

    I: It is! And The Princess Bride is on.

    F: Oooh, I heard that's a good one.

    I: With luck, I'll finally learn what's so bad about land wars in southeast Asia...
