Why are you filling out this application?
I heard the TDDA was looking for new help, and I couldn't risk missing this chance to apply. What better learning experience is there for a fellow brain tickler than working at the Tin Dragon?

What do you know about the Tin Dragon Detective Agency?
I know it's a place for puzzle-solvers.

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.

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 son.

What is your favorite tea?
Sage Tea -- No sugar
