THEBASICS!!
"so...you'd like to work for the Masquerade would you? first we'll need some photo ID"
!!

"now then...what is it you go by?"
"Me? Oh hi there my name is Nicolas...Nicolas Jace Bennett!"
grins happily and grips the seat of the chair with his hands
"but you can call me Nico, or Nicky, Nicolai, whatever floats your boat!"

"and...just how old are you?"
"Well I'm nineteen years old but I have the knowledge of a fourteen year old and I act like a five year old"
nipples on lower lip and grins happily. shuffling feet against the ground, 'ants in his pants'

THESPECIFICS!!
"every successful venture takes pride in the strengths of its employees. what would you say your strengths are?"
"Strengths? I never really thought about it. I like to make friends! That's a strength right? I like people a lot, I'm like a ball of sunshine my mom always said! And well I can read tarot cards real good want me to read you some...no? okay well I know everything about them! You name it and I know it! Lets see...I can read palms, from here I can see your life line isn't very long...tsk tsk.."
blushes and giggles softly
"Sorry...oh I can read tea leaves, and I know lots about the stars! I used to look at them all night. And lets not be telling anyboy but... leans in and whispers...I know what will happen before anybody. It's like a sense, people give off different vibes, and things around them do to. That is how I know when someting good or bad might happen" leans back into the chair and grins

"and weaknesses? everyone has them, i suppose..."
"hmm...well I guess i'm not all too bright. Sure I know alot about fortune telling and the cards and what not, but my mom told me I have the general growing knowledge of the average fourteen year old, and I'm nineteen like I told you!"
sighs
"I'm also quite childish, but I'm sure that's not a bad thing in a circus...other then that nothing! Are we almost done now?"
wiggles in seat and runs his tongue other his front two teeth

"and what would a person be without goals? you must have some...what are they?"
"Oh yeah I have those! Lets see...I want to be an excellent fortune teller, most are rip offs and people are very disappointed but I want to be the one they keep coming back to!"
looks around and thinks for a minute
"I would also like to make some friends! I know it must be hard here, a lot of work but it is a circus and that should be fun! I want to have people to spend time with and play games with! I love games! And not to let my mom down, because she said I would do good here, and that she will be proud of me..."
stares at the floor and is quiet before looking up again and smiling
"Next question please!"

"now then....tell me a little more about yourself...where did you come from? what attracted you to the Masquerade?"
"Well I always loved the circus, my mom used to take me all the time...My dad wasn't around, he was always out of town so I only saw him once a month or so. I have a younger brother, so my mom took us to the circus whenever it came to town and I loved watching the acrobats and the clowns and the lions, so great! We would go to see the fortune teller and she always told me I was destined for great things, I felt special!"
plays with the hem of his shirt
" I was really fascinated by the fortune tellers, they knew so much...So I started studying, I hoped some day I could know what they knew because I wasn't good at anything else. I was a lot slower in classes then anyone else, even my brother was smarter then me. So I figured maybe I was destined for something other then school related subjects."
pulls the collar of his shirt to his mouth and chews softly, thinking
"Then when I was about fifteen...I started getting feelings when I was around people, everyone gave off a special vibe, no ones was like anothers and it told me everyting about them. I knew how their day would be tomorrow and if they were happy or upset. It was such a rush...I told my mom and she didn't get it...you probably don't either, it's complicated unless you've felt it."
"So my mom told me to give it a rest, I couldnt be a fortune teller for the rest of my life becasue it was a silly job, but I wanted to. I didn't give up and I kept stuying verything I could and tried to remember as much as I could but my head would start to hurt. Learning never was a strong point for me."
takes a deep breath and pauses
"I think my mom finally understood what I was destined for, because she sent me here. She was crying and said I would do well here...I would fit in and go far...I think im meant to be here and I would hate to have to leave now and disappoint my mom..."

"finally, tell us...when other people look at you, what exactly do you think they see?"
"umm...a teenage boy who acts like a child and gets annoying very quickly...I'm sure thats what people see!"
tries to touch his tongue to his nose
"Oh are we done? really? finally? cool! thank you very much!"
