The Interview

In a hidden underground base, the people responding to an advertisement for lackies, placed on a non-descript bulletin board, have been gathered. They stand waiting, in a fairly large room with walls of stone. The room is sparse on detail, the only point of note is a large, somewhat throne-like chair that looks like it was built into the wall.

A man enters, a massive cloak hides all but his head, and makes him appear quite large. Silver hair falls behind his head. He sits down upon the throne, and his eyes stare strongly forward through yellow-tinted glasses. He speaks firmly, commandingly. "My name is Lord Izpallo, and I will take your applications now."

So what's this for?

A young looking gentleman, around his early twenties, stepped forward. He approached the desk with a suave and sophisticated attitude. He wore a black suit with a blue tie which both contrasted well against his silver white hair. It was ruffled and unruly compared to his neat and tidy outfit. The sound of his black dress shoes stepping on the marble floor echoed throughout the room as he approached the desk. Without looking at the one who had called him forth he slid a paper, his application, onto the desk. It was a very untraditional resume. In a large print the paper read,

"I have no name.
I have no education.
I have no references.
I have no experience.
Because I am."

The gentleman's grey eyes looked at the paper. He stood as if frozen in time. One could count the stubbles of recently shaven beard on his chin or describe with accurate detail the image of the scar on his left cheek. He took two perfect steps back and spoke. His cold voice sliced through the silent room. "Thank you for your time." He then walked back to his seat against the wall with the same sophistication he had taken walking up.

Izpallo looked at the sheet shortly, "I'm afraid, Mr. nameless, that this application is invalid. It has not been presented on the proper form. I guess you heard about it from someone else. Luckily for you, I kept a spare copy of the advertisement on the wall over there." Izpallo points to a clipboard on the wall, pencil dangling.
