"Thank you. I've read into the services that the academy provides, and I'm happy to have the chance to learn more about my. . . condition. I take it that you will be interviewing me today? It's nice to meet you.
As for names, I prefer to be called Klaus. I'm not a fan of nicknames."
WE CAN’T TELL BY LOOKING AT YOU… ARE YOU MALE, FEMALE, OR SOMETHING IN-BETWEEN IT ALL?
". . . I'm a male."
OH, REALLY? HM. YOU SHOULD WORK ON LOOKING IT… ANYWAY, WHEN WERE YOU BORN?
"And, for a college interviewer, you should work on being less crude.
My birthday is May 17, and I'm 20 years old."
WELL, YOU LOOK PRETTY FINE FOR YOUR AGE… BUT TSK. THIS OLD AND CAN’T CONTROL IT? NO WONDER YOU’RE HERE.
"Yes, that's why I'm here, and the whole reason you are interviewing me."
SO, WE THOUGHT THAT BRAD PITT WAS HOT AS ALDO RAINE, BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU? …WE’RE THE DEANS, NOT YOU, DON’T GIVE US THAT LOOK.
"Excuse me? What kind of interview is this? Its hardly professional to ask for information like that. It's not as if you can deny me admittance because of how I answer this question. It is useless and unnecessary. . . "
((OoC translation: Instead of saying outright "I'm gay," he'd rather dance around the subject.))
UHUH. WELL. THAT WAS INTERESTING. NOW, WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING?
". . . Why? Am I the only one who won't answer that question or something? . . . Never mind.
Anyway, reading a book in a quiet place always calms my nerves, and playing the violin will do the same.
I like admiring nature, and everything in it. Learning about Norse mythology and I like being entertained by the trolls and sprites from where I live. They really are peculiar creatures, but can be extremely clever."
NOW, WHAT ABOUT THINGS YOU DON’T LIKE? WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IN ORDER TO EMBETTER YOUR SITUATION AND LIVING ARRANGEMENTS. LIKE MINDS WITH LIKE MINDS AND ALL…
"Stupid people that can't take a hint and unprofessional people tend to tick me off. Loud, closed-minded, and ignorant people are even worse. . . especially if they are clingy. In fact, just don't touch me (and not just because I'll phase, but because I need my personal space)."
DULLY NOTED. WE’LL REMEMBER THAT AS WE PLACE YOU IN CLASSES AND SUCH. NOW, DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL SKILLS OR SOMETHING YOU’RE ACTUALLY GOOD AT? CONTROLLING YOURSELF MUST NOT BE ONE TO BE HERE…
"I play the violin and I'm a good student."
HUH. THAT’S CURIOUS – WE NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT WITH YOU. NOW, WHAT DO YOU SUCK AT? …IT’S A WORD, DEAL WITH IT.
"Well nothing is ever as it seems, is it? Apparently I don't seem like a good student and no one would have ever have thought that with your personality you'd become an interviewer.
Things I'm not good at. Well truthfully, being nice. Especially to people who fall into the "Things I don't like" category. And controlling when I should and should not phase. Showing any other emotions other than anger (when I do show it, anyway) seem to be impossible tasks."
HM. FIGURES. WE SEE A LOT OF CASES LIKE THAT AND- HEY, LOOK, ICE CREAME!
". . . Seriously, can we just get this interview over with? I feel like we're just wasting each other's time."
WHOOPS, GUESS YOU MISSED THE TREAT. NOW, YOU MIGHT BE A LITTLE YOUNG YET, BUT GIVEN ANY THOUGHT ON WHAT YOU LIKE IN A PARTNER? DON’T BE SHY.
"A partner? I haven't really thought about it, actually. I'm not looking for a relationship, nor do I want one. I guess I'd rather have a friend, than anything else; someone I can talk to. That's the most important thing."
HM, THAT SCRATCHES OUT MY DAUGHTER… WHAT ABOUT THINGS YOU HATE IN A PERSON? FOR… FUTURE REFERENCE.
"Loud, obnoxious people. But then again, I wouldn't want someone who was completely silent either. Overly controlling people piss me off, too."
YOU’RE QUITE SHALLOW, AREN’T YOU? HM, NO MIRRORS ALLOWED IN YOUR ROOM…
". . . What's your definition of shallow again because your's clearly differs from mine?"
NO INTERVIEW WOULD BE COMPLETE WITHOUT SOME BASIC QUESTIONS, RIGHT? JUST ANSWER THEM AS TRUTHFULLY AS POSSIBLE, OKAY?
"Yeah, let's just get this over with."
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD AND DRINK?
"Grilled Salmon is my favorite food from Norway, but seriously, pizza is just as good. I'll try anything once. As for drinks, cider is my favorite."
FAVOURITE PHRASE OR QUOTE?
" 'The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That's one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population: the intelligent ones or the fools?'
~Henrik Ibsen "
FAVOURITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL?
"Physics and music"
FAVORITE COLOUR?
"Navy blue"
FAVORITE PLACE?
"My room, I guess? I like anywhere quiet. "
FAVORITE BOOK?
"Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky"
FAVOURITE ARTICLE OF CLOTHING?
"I don't know. My hat, or I guess if it counts, my cross barrette."
YOU HANDLED THE DRILL WELL… WE ARE IMPRESSED. NOW, TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF.
"Well, what can I say about myself? I guess when given the choice, I'm the type of person that, when engaged in conversation, is usually listening to the other person while they complain or brag, giving advice or 'good for you' s when appropriate. I like to analyze situations from all angles before deciding what is best, even if that means going against whatever everyone else thinks is correct, and I'll argue my standpoint.
I tend to be a bit sarcastic towards people I find bothersome, but people say that I can get a tad bit protective over the people I'm close to. Anything else? I guess that this interview is the most I've ever opened up in my entire life other than to my brother and my friend."
HOW ABOUT FAMILY? ARE YOU LEAVING ANYONE BEHIND?
"My family? I have my mother, my father, and my little brother. My parents are polar opposites. My mother is extremely overprotective while my father wants nothing to do with me. My little brother (who really isn't that much younger than me) is the only person I can talk to in my family. Then, there's Nora. She's one of my
I also have my nisse that follows me everywhere. Her name is Astrid. I guess, I didn't really leave her behind, but I mentioned her so she would stop pulling on my sweater."
THAT’S INTERESTING… REMINDS US OF HOME. NOW, WHAT HAS BROUGHT YOU TO OUR ESTABLISHMENT, EXACTLY?
"I phased in my father's arms after he agreed to hold me when the nurse asked him if he would. I've lived with this all my life, and I still haven't been able to control it. I think that's a good reason in itself.
I guess the incident that really convinced me was the night when Nora, my little brother, and I decided that it would be a good idea to raid the liquor cabinet. We were only sixteen and seventeen years old, but my brother and I have a pretty high alcohol tolerance. Nora, on the other hand, never really could hold her alcohol. At all. She got up to do something, tripped over her own feet, and of course landed on me. Somehow, I managed to only half-phase with the ears and the tail, but still she freaked out. She didn't remember anything the next day, but still it was embarrassing. After that was when I started looking for cures or anything to get me to stop changing. The closest thing I found was this college.
NOW, SO WE KNOW WHEN SCHEDULING YOU, DO YOU WORK ANYWHERE AT THE MOMENT? WHAT ABOUT LIVING? DO YOU HAVE AN APARTMENT OFF CAMPUS, OR SHALL WE PUT YOU IN A DORM?
"I don't have a job, and I will be living in a dorm."
HM, ALRIGHT. LET’S SAY YOUR HOME IS BEING FLOODED. …PRETEND YOU LIVE ON THE COAST OR SOMETHING, OKAY? ANYWAY, WHAT THREE THINGS WOULD YOU SAVE?
"Assuming that everyone else got out alright and we have the necessities, I'd save my violin, my book on Norse mythology, and my picture frame with the photo of my brother, Nora, and I in it."
WE NEVER WOULD HAVE PICTURED YOU THE TYPE TO CARE. HOW ODD.
"Whatever. Are we done yet?"
NOW, WE ALL KNOW WHAT REASON YOU’RE HERE… BUT WE DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE. MIND TELLING US YOUR SPECIES?
"When embraced, I turn into an Arctic Fox. I guess it's okay. I could have been something weird like a lemming or a squirrel."
HM. WE HAVE FACILITIES THAT YOU MAY FIND USEFUL. I’M SURE YOU’VE READ THE HANDBOOK THOUGH, RIGHT? IF SO, PLEASE GIVE US THE THREE HIDDEN WORDS IN A SENTENCE OR TWO.
"The news may not be charming, but I need to bring this issue forward: where did all of the cough syrup go?"
YOU’RE NOT AS MUCH OF A SLACKER AS WE THOUGHT. THAT’S GOOD. WE ARE IMPRESSED WITH YOU.
"Thanks, I guess?"
WELL, THAT JUST ABOUT WRAPS EVERYTHING UP… IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL US?
"No."
WE’LL TAKE OUR LEAVE NOW. PLEASE WAIT FOR VERIFICATION INTO THE SYSTEM.
"Alright."

Leah has been endlessly trailing around on this planet for seventeen years, they appear to be stuck. Whoops. So they took up role playing to pass the time, and have been doing so for 3 years years. How interesting! They are located in the EST or GMT -5:00 time-zone, for future globe-trotting reference! But I guess you can always reach them by PMing them.
Well, let’s get this paper into the system! :
Klaus gave an indifferent look as he scanned over his packing checklist on more time. He was pretty sure he had everything he needed.
Clothes? check.
Toothbrush? check.
Violin? check.
Nisse bedding? check
For what seemed like the twentieth time, Klaus went down his list and searched through the bag to make sure he had packed the item listed. Everything was there and accounted for, but for some reason, it felt like he was missing something important. He looked around his room, and only a couple moments later, his eyes fell on the missing piece. Walking over to his nightstand, he picked up his picture frame with the picture of his little brother, Nora, and him inside.
A classic. It was just one of the many pictures of the three musketeers. This one in particular exhibiting the all of them, around 6-8 years old, covered in dirt. Nora stood in the middle with her normal "big grin" on her face, and Klaus and his little brother had their signature indifferent looks on either side of the girl. Time had faded the memory of what actually happened that day, but Klaus knew it had to be a good one. There were rarely any bad memories between the three anyway, so if something had gone wrong that day, it was probably something that they would look back on and only be amused by in the end.
Klaus gave a small smile and packed the picture away in his suitcase. This was probably going to be one of the last reminders of the other two for a long time. Sure, they'd email back and forth, but he didn't know when he was going to see them next. He knew that by going away, he was going to break up the trio, but it was something that had to be done. Once he could control his phasing a bit better, then she could know. And his brother, well. . . he'd probably find out his other secret soon enough. He couldn't keep secrets from them anymore. Then, and only then after he comes clean, will the feeling that he's missing something truly vanish.
