Write your name legibly:
Andrea Gardenia. I go by Andy.
Age:
Roughly 27, though I don't look it.
Home Address (or where you might often be found):
I can be found in the "Hearts and All Other Parts" prosthetic's shop in Four Stone's, near the salty shore.
Why are you filling out this application?
I know of secrets that I need to dig up, coupled with the need for a new living. Adventure calls me, and nowhere seems a better fit.
What do you know about the Tin Dragon Detective Agency?
I know your people are quite good at what they do, and that a long, long time ago, they were alchemists.
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.
Find out if the Wife is in the need or want of the husband's wealth. They can afford a butler, and her story contrasts the other two most.
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?
Well i'm not so fond of the living dead, so I would save the child in a heartbeat.
What is your favorite tea?
I think green tea? Yes. let's say green.
Please fold this application into an envelope and drop into your city's Tin Dragon tip box before midnight. You will receive our response within the week.

What do you know about the Tin Dragon Detective Agency? "Tin Dragon, in the old days, was an alchemists' guild known for its adventurous members and historic discoveries of new plants, minerals, and mythical creatures. Eventually they expanded their specialization into trailblazing and field research, until the archaic pursuit of alchemy was all but forgotten. Members today wear a tin badge etched with an ouroboros to honor the agency's origin." — Excerpt of the History of the Kingdoms.

Dissect the corpse, of course. If there's alcohol on his stomach, the wife is saying the truth. It it's tea, then the butler is right. Either way both are likely to contain the poison that came in postman's latest delivery. If you can find who sent it, the answer shall be obvious.
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?
The kid. After all, his father would arrest me if I let it die, right?

I'm more of a coffee person, if you ask me. If you want to know about that, I like a freshly brewed steaming latte better than anything else.

There is no specific address, but I am usually at a small lone camp at the edge of the forest near Four Stones. If not there, you may find me at the Four Stones docks. I help out as a carpenter for hire for docked ships.
Why are you filling out this application?
I do believe I have enough experience to pursue a job at the Tin Dragon Detective Agency. More than that, however, I am tired of a mundane life fixing ships. I wish for a change.
What do you know about the Tin Dragon Detective Agency?
I know that they solve mysteries there, research many different plants and creatures, and once was a well-known alchemist guild. One that my little friend Senlin will feel comfortable in.
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.
Further investigate the wife and the fairy. The butler has no need to lie, as mentioning the nobleman died at home puts the butler under suspicion. The postman has no need to lie either... unless he is in cahoots with the wife. People cheat quite often. Perhaps the fairy was the nobleman's hidden love, and his wife found out.
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?
Well, this would be difficult if I actually had a mother. As I don't, I would be saving the child.
I suppose this was meant as a hypothetical situation. In that case, I would probably still choose the child. From what I've been told, mothers are often self-sacrificing, and she would most probably wish for me to save the child.
What is your favorite tea?
Jasmine tea. It simply has a lovely aroma, a mild taste, and doesn't even need sweetening.

Age: 44
Home Address (or where you might often be found):Comet-by-the-Sea, Von Hochstadt Estate.
Why are you filling out this application?
As a well-renowned researcher, and sometimes hunter, of the abnormally nonhuman, I have ample skill and knowledge in the investigative arts, as well as an encyclopedic memory of the attributes and capabilities of nonhuman races and creatures with distinct contrast from humans and their closely-related species. As I'm at the cusp of old age, I'm not quite able to keep up my usual lifestyle, as it often sees me placed at the forefront of physical battles with creatures and beings. By joining the Tin Dragon, my expertise and skills could still be used for good, with the likelihood of physical altercations going down.
What do you know about the Tin Dragon Detective Agency?
At one time, the Tin Dragon was an Alchemist's Guild, well-known for their advances in field research and the subsequent alchemical discoveries. I keep several copies of the various public research within the library at my estate. Nowadays, the Tin Dragon is an investigative agency, often dealing in more supernatural cases.

Why? There is no wrong answer.
Ask the postman if he could direct me to exactly where they were seen arguing, or at least as close to the spot as possible. Search that location for either the fairy or any piece of evidence that can help in tracking down the fairy, and once the fairy is located, question it for information.
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?
The officer's son. My mother, were she still alive, would very likely agree that a child's life is more valuable than a grown woman's, not to mention the completion of a hired job from a respected military official.
What is your favorite tea?
A simple black tea, two sugar cubes, if brewed in-cup milk added afterwards, if brewed in a kettle, milk poured first.

Age: Physically, twenty-three.
Home Address (or where you might often be found): Woondaly. One learns much from growing up in a trade center bustling with life. It is truly a pity that some take it for granted, whilst others envy or look down on it, and yet others know not of its existence. Curious, don't you think?
Why are you filling out this application? To acquire brand-new skills and hone those I already possess. Understanding more types of humans and species will be vital knowledge as well. Being in Woondaly, it is incredibly diverse and feels like I have been nearly everywhere; that is merely an illusion, however. Recent travellers here tell me the outside world is vastly different in its own way.
Also, I believe more minds dealing with investigations, the better your chances are, yes?
What do you know about the Tin Dragon Detective Agency? You were an alchemist's guild. You explored and studied the latest discovered plants, minerals, and mythical creatures. You probed into trailblazing and field research. You currently handle investigations. That said, I know what you let the crowd know. Organizations that are fairly successful with their job tend to be efficient in doing that. Your ranks have dropped a few members, though, I hear.
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. All are suspicious. His wife may have something against him, his butler may be against him, and the postman may be against him, too, trying to throw me off. They could also not trust me and are "protecting" the nobleman's case.
I would first check out why he might have gone to the pub and if he visited regularly. Survey the bartenders and other people there that day whether they had seen him. His method of transportation is crucial. Check his vehicles and the surrounding/regular places he uses to refill/charge them with gas/electricity. Could the man have walked? If so, did anyone see him then? He may have used a friend's vehicle; for reasons similar to this, do not assume or trust easily.
As for his tea, I would examine it for poison. Do the same to his body. Poison. After all, he may have drunk a bit of both the same day.
Just track the fairy on the third suspect. Honestly, that does not seem to be very complicated. "Is the fairy even real?" should be a question answered with that information.
Another option is that they are linked. Example- the nobleman was driven to the pub after his argument with the fairy turned more heated instead of lightening up.
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? The officer's son. My mother is a widow, she would be content to be released with her trusted, beloved soulmate and husband, my father. I know her very well; she'd be proud of my decision to stand by my oath.
What is your favorite tea? White tea with a squeeze of lemon or lime for added zest. Or organic green tea. They are extremely healthy and rich, in my opinion.

Why? There is no wrong answer.
Assuming I was allowed an assistant, I would privately question each living party, instructing the assistant to observe any nervousness or impatience from the remaining two in a separate room during each round of questioning. The butler would be asked if the nobleman was having an affair and if he noticed that the postman might've been under narcotic influence when he answered the door. The wife would be asked if the butler has ever stolen from the house and if her husband had ever consorted with magical creatures. The postman would be asked who sent for the package and if they commonly see magical intervention such as this.
Any party observed as irritable or afraid outside of questioning were likely lying and would be questioned again in front of the other two. The others would offer any conflicting information regarding the prosecuted's answers.
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?

What is your favorite tea?
Night tea: an old and rarely used recipe, which I have of course perfected, that yields fantastic results. An unfortunate side effect of overconsumption is female infertility. It's not quite unfortunate in my case, I haven't the time for mothering. The quality of the tea is well worth the loss.

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.
It would be most important to clear up the confusion at home. Since their account of even the moment of death is different, in all likelihood, one is lying. If we find out that the liar is lying in out of nefarious reasons, I would write off the argument with the fairy as a red herring. However it's always possible that someone's lying for a stupid reason like covering some small mistake, since some people might not care if some murderer is caught or not. The best way to go about doing this would be to look at the place where the nobleman died and look at his position and any items near him (such as the supposedly broken tea glass and what would be left of the tea in it).
If that turns out to be a dead end, the second path would be to go to the pub that the wife says he went. There I'd ask the bartender what he drank and ate and if he was with anyone. If he was with anyone, go after that lead and if otherwise, retrace his steps going home. If what killed him wasn't ingested (assuming the body is clean of any cuts or puncture marks) at home or at the pub, that only leaves the road.

Why are you filling out this application?
You humans have interested me quite a bit, and espescially those who have simular activites to mine. So, I wish to learn more from the scholars and even learn more social skills among humanoids, and learn some more alechemical tricks and tips from old books. Also to have some entertainment since there hasn't been a war in forever.
What do you know about the Tin Dragon Detective Agency?
Well, for one, it put the human name of my species in the title, it is full of scholars and adventurers, and you smell like wolves
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.
Eat the fairy, take both the woman and the butler and lock them in a room with me till they crack. Then turn the culprite over to the respective authorities.
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?
The officer's son because I'm bound to get something in return, and my mother is already dead.
What is your favorite tea?
Sweet black tea with blueberry juice in it.
Please fold this application into an envelope and drop into your city's Tin Dragon tip box before midnight. You will receive our response within the week
