The handwriting is on par with a five year old, letters are mangled and zigzag left and right, there are lines of black where letters, words, and even a few sentences were crossed out and rewritten, and there are blotches of a faintly alcoholic hue and smell stained on the parchment..

Write your name legibly: Sorry I don't know what languag legibily is. But people call me Uwen.
Miss Crimsby says legibily means to write it pretty. So I will write my name pretty this time. Uwen

Age: I forget. At least ten, not bigger than a 100 tens.

Miss Crumsby says I should tell you that I'm a Ogre, so I don't scare you. Cus I'm big.

Home Address (or where you might often be found): Miss Crumsby lets me sleep in the stable near her inn. Miss Crumsby said I should tell you her inn is in Timber Moren. She said some people don't know where her inn is. I don't believe her. She makes good soup.

Why are you filling out this application? My friends say I'm a very perseptiv person. Which means I'm good at noticin things. Like that time I saw that guy had cards in his sleeve when nobody else did. Or that time I smelled weird stuff in those bottle tonic thingys that bearded man was selling and remembered it smelled like mud. Or that time I figured out where Miss Crumbsy's husband went every night and she told me not talk about it no more.

Miss Crumsby said you probably get the point. She also told me I should say I also like doing good things.

I like doing good things.

What do you know about the Tin Dragon Detective Agency?
My friends say you guys are really, really smart. Like me. They said you figured out who killed a seed, and caught a laughing bird doing some bad stuff. And they said you like doing good things. And I like doing good things. So I want to do good things with you.

You're investigating the death of a young nobleman at his mansion. His wife tells you he had fallen down drunk after coming home from the pub. The butler tells you he'd never gone out, and simply dropped dead after his tea. The postman tells you he'd seen the young nobleman in an argument with a fairy earlier that day. What do you do next? Why? There is no wrong answer.
I see if the man is just taking a nap. If he is I wake him up. If he isn't I drink his tea. People say my body tolrayts poison and bad stuff better than humans and stuff. So if the tea has bad stuff in it I'll taste it. If it doesn't have bad stuff I'll look at the wife's and buttler's faces until I know who is fibbing.

The officer's son you're sworn to protect and your mother are both hanging from a cliff. You have time to save one before they fall. Which do you save?
My momma is alive? I save her!

Miss Crimsby said that this question was make believe. So I make believe that I know magic like in those make believe books, and I save them both.

What is your favorite tea?
Miss Crimsby makes a very tasty minty tea. It tickles my throat and I like it. I like Miss Crimsby.

Miss Crimsby said I’m making her blush.
