Hi! Jens is fine. Uh, I guess you can call me Sørensen if you're formal like that, but most people trip over the "ø" (it's kinda like a.. uuah. How do I even type this. Ask me sometime! I'll teach you some Danish!).
I HAVE TO ASK: MALE, FEMALE, OR SOMETHING IN BETWEEN?
Uh, in-between? I'm not sure what.. well! I'm a guy, yeah.
GOOD, I WAS STARTING TO WORRY. NOW, HOW OLD ARE YOU EXACTLY?
21! Legal to drink (in the US at least, hahaaa...) and on my last year before graduate school here! I'm a Gemini, which is considered totally masculine and positive - just like me! It's also pretty symbolic of duality, which I can agree with as well. The constellation looks like two guys holding hands - like brothers, right? So one of them doesn't loose their way.
WELL, YOU LOOK YOUNG FOR YOUR AGE. HOW DO YOU STAY IN SHAPE?
Do I? Thanks! Did you know that it takes more muscles to frown than to smile? Still, I smile a lot, so that's gotta count for something! Joking aside, I like to play football - sorry, soccer - and basketball and whatever needs another player at the time. I really like team sports, even though I'm just as apt to be holed up in the library studying too.
I WOULD NEVER HAVE CONSIDERED THAT GEORGE CLOONEY MIGHT BE GAY. WHAT ABOUT YOU?
Whaaaaaaaaaaat? Really? But he's so charming with the ladies! It's pretty impressive. I hope when I'm his age I can do half as well. Though I don't think I'd look quite as good with grey hair.
--oh. That wasn't quite what you were asking. Well. Not that it's really any of your business, but when it comes to relationships, gender isn't really an issue. I've dated men and women. I'm not seeing anyone right now. Unless this is a roundabout way of trying to set me up with someone?
WELL THEN, WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?
Oh. I guess not. Well, it's my last year for my bachelor's, so I may have put off some of the more concentrated courses for some of the more fun ones earlier on. I've gotta work hard this year! But I think I'll still have time for some fun. As I said before, I like sports, I like going out drinking with friends, video games... I don't actually really mind studying, as long as I can learn something interesting from it!
DON'T WORRY, THIS IS ALL CONFIDENTIAL. GO AHEAD, TELL US WHAT YOU ENJOY.
Really? I don't mind, I mean. I'm a pretty open guy - though I'm not sure why you'd go around broadcasting people's likes and dislikes openly anyway. (Are you sure you're not trying to set me up with someone?) Well, besides favoured activities, I really like being around people! I get lonely sort of easily I guess, so as long as at least one person's around I'm pretty happy. I like learning things, and I like teaching others - knowledge is power, right? Hey, did you know that although we say "knowledge is power" pretty easily, it's sort of an incorrect version of the Latin "Scientia potentia est," meaning more like "For also knowledge itself is power"? Not only that, but there's a phrase basically the same in both the Book of Proverbs in the Bible and in Persian poetry too!
--shit, I rambled, sorry!
WHAT ABOUT SOMETHING THAT GETS ON YOUR NERVES?
Oh? I'm pretty carefree, I think, but yeah, there are things that bother me. I don't like being alone, and maybe it's a little superficial but I don't like people taking my things. My family doesn't have a whole lot of money, so what I do have I've earned or are gifts with some sentimentality. So even borrowing something without my permission - I sort of hate it! I don't like losing in sports either, but if a trip to the pub follows at least we can get our sorrows out together and have a good time. Um. What else. Rejection? But that's sort of commonplace, isn't it? And ignorance! Not the type that's like "I don't know," but more the type that's unwilling to actually learn something instead of just taking security in not knowing. Ignorance isn't bliss, it's stupid. I don't like getting in fights - but that's not actually true (don't tell!). It's sort of fun, like sporting, go have a row with someone, but the aftermath? Not so fun.
I'LL HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT. SO, ARE YOU GOOD AT ANYTHING?
Everything! Hahaha, that's not true. I'm tall and fit enough, so I'm pretty good at sports. Um! I think I'm pretty good at a lot of things, if I put my mind to it, but sometimes it's too easy to ... well, not.
THAT'S INTERESTING, NOW WHAT ARE YOU NOT SO GOOD AT?
About that not putting your mind to stuff? Yeah. I can get distracted easily enough if there's something better to do than like... chemistry.. (there's usually something better to do than chemistry). Uhm. I'm not so good at relationships, either. I get a little clingy. Well -- you said you weren't going to show this to anyone, right? It's just. And then they always leave me. But--! I'm fine! I have good friends. That counts for something, right?
I BET I CAN BEAT YOU IN A THUMB WRESTLE AND HOLD MY BREATHE LONGER THAN YOU AT THE SAME TIME.
What, both? --I like this challenge! Let's do it!
YOU MUST THINK I'M CRAZY. OH WELL, SAY, WHAT KIND OF QUALITIES DO YOU LIKE IN A SPOUSE?
Well yeah, that was my first thought, but it's fine - sounds fun! (Does that make me a little crazy too? Haha). Ah, anyway, man, I'd love to be married - I think I'd be a good dad. I'd be the king of piggyback rides! As for a spouse? I like someone who's around a lot, who doesn't mind listening to me talk - talking back is good too of course! I'd want someone who told me how they felt often enough where I don't worry about it... I don't need grandiose shows of affection, just. Little things. Notes in the wallet, phone calls at work... a reminder of love even when they're not around.
OH, I GUESS I'M NOT YOUR TYPE THEN, EH? WELL, WHAT DO YOU FIND UNATTRACTIVE IN A PERSON?
What? No, I mean - we've just met! I'm sure you're lovely? Ah, unattractiveness... I usually like all people - even after fighting with someone (like a fist-fight, not an argument) we're still okay? Better, sometimes - sometimes you just need to get out some aggression, man. And then pop open a beer afterward. Arguments... not so much. Yeah, I find ignorance unappealing if they're unwilling to learn anything, and if someone's a jerk just for the sake of a jerk? Why would you do that?
FINE, BE LIKE THAT. I DON'T LIKE YOU ANYWAYS.
But-- wait, what did I do? Hold on, can't we work this out? Come back--
OK, WE'RE GONNA PLAY A GAME. I'M GOING TO ASK SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS, AND YOUR GOING TO SAY THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND, OK?
Oh good, you didn't leave. All right. Let's do this. Word association! Sounds fun!
FAVORITE FOOD?
Smørrebrød! That's probably a bit generic since I'm Danish, but man, okay picture delicious bread and every single delicious thing you can think of on it. And it's even better.
FAVORITE SUBJECT?
Mythology!
FAVORITE HOLIDAY AND SEASON?
Christmas! I generally like winter anyway, but I love getting stuff for people I love.
FAVORITE WORD?
Red! Wait, that doesn't make any sense. Ah, but that's the point, right? To say without really thinking!
FAVORITE TIME OF DAY?
Noon!
FAVORITE COLOR?
Red! Haaa there we go.
WELL, WASN'T THAT FUN? ON TO THE SERIOUS SHIT. TELL ME A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF.
I'm a pretty cheerful, easy-to-get along with guy. Maybe I talk too much, but it's just that I'm friendly and I want to keep the interest of people around me? I'll be your best friend if you'll have me, but I can be an enemy if I need to be.
MHMM, AND WHAT ABOUT YOUR FAMILY?
They're okay! Mom & dad & I get along pretty well - we never had a lot of money really, but it didn't really matter. Well, I should say mom & step-dad - she just remarried last year, I'm really happy for her! I had to be alone a lot when I was a kid, but I got by!
VERY INTERESTING. SO HOW DID YOU END UP IN THIS COLLEGE?
I lived - well, near enough to Copenhagen anyway, and went through public school and was lucky enough with intense essay-writing to snag a scholarship to this college! I've had to maintain a good GPA to keep it, but structure's good for me so I don't get distracted.
AWESOME. WHAT SORT OF CAREER WILL YOU GO INTO THEN?
I'm just a student for now, and uh, sort of between part time jobs, but! I want to be a teacher. Elementary school'd be good. I like America, maybe I'll stay here and teach kids history and social sciences or...well, whatever they'll listen to, really!
OMGWTFBBQ?!? WELL, LOOK AT THAT. I'VE NEVER SEEN A GENIE ACTUALLY COME OUT OF THE BOTTLE. WHAT ARE YOUR THREE WISHES?
WHOA. OKAY LET'S DO THIS.
1! Make me a sammich! Because seriously, that talk of smørrebrød made me really hungry.
2! I know I can't use this wish to make someone fall in love with me (I've seen Aladdin!) and that's pretty wrong anyway, but I'd like.. I don't know, some sort of ... no, that's unfair to others too.. I don't know, a pet? Something that'll never die and'll always keep me company?
3! Back in the bottle with you, djinn! I know how this works!
WOW, WASN'T THAT FASCINATING?
Yeah! I mean, I've spent... well, let's just say a lot of time reading about folklore and stuff, but I never thought something like that'd really happen!
SO, YOU, UH, WITH ANYBODY AT THE PRESENT MOMENT?
Me? No, it's just you and I here. I'm not dating anyone right now
WELL, YOU WANNA GO OUT SOME TIME? WHERE CAN I TAKE YA?
What, really? And all this time I thought - hey, cool, okay! Let's go see a movie, and afterward we can go to the park? There's some pretty good food in the little stand.. cart.. things and we can sit on a bench and I'll show you the constellations.
HEY, IF YOUR NOT BUSY FRIDAY...WANNA GO OUT?
Sure! I've got a test, but I'll come see you right after!
ALRIGHT, WHATEVER/COOL. THIS INTERVIEW IS COMING TO AN END. ANYTHING YOU WANT TO TELL US?
Oh, already? It was fun talking with you. Anything else? ...I really think I've covered it all! Say, what sort of flowers do you like? Um, no particular reason, really.
THIS FAKE INTERVIEWER DUDE GUY WILL SELF DESTRUCT IN FIVE SECONDS.
Shit-- *ducks and covers*

Quinn has been trying to escape this doggone planet for twenty-six years, but they've found themselves stuck in the vortex of role playing for 4 months years. too bad. we could have busted them out if they didn't live all the way in the PST/GMT=-8 timezone. you can always reach them at atypical.princecharming@live.com.
ok, well, i'll just take your paperwork and be going:
Six o'clock! Jens had been looking forward to this all day. All week. All-- well, not more than that really, as they went out every week. Six o'clock Friday evening: the end of the school week, the end of exams this time around, and time to go drinking with his bro and his bro's boyfriend. It wasn't that Jens minded - well, it did make him a little lonely sometimes when the two went home together, hand in hand, and he went back to the dorm alone. Toni didn't come with them much, and it was good to see Gilbert so warm around him - and he really did like the two of them (even though secretly, perhaps he liked it a little better when Toni stayed at home, even if Gilbert would complain that all his stuff would be put away when he returned).
Nights like this were just for enjoyment, a toast to the end of the week: another set of classes conquered, a weekend full of jobs and friends and... well, yeah, studying in front of them. And they could sleep in! Which helped, as hangovers were not an altogether uncommon occurance - though less when Toni was around anyway (he seemed to know Gilbert and his limits a lot better than Gilbert did - or at least accepted).
Jens splashed water on his face, toweled it off, made sure his hair was styled just so, checked to make sure no additional shaving was needed, and set out of the dorm, into the night. Already he could feel relaxation flow up veins, down arteries, and he stretched his arms out before him and laughed to himself as he made his way to the bar. He'd be there first, probably, but that was all right. He wouldn't be alone for long.
