" my name is layton. oliver... layton. don't i sound like james bond? i'm from london so i damn well should. what else? oh, i'm twenty, a writer for sound addict, and constantly barefoot. you have a very nice smile. " "RIGHT RIGHT, SORRY. SO TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF." " i guess you could say that i'm a bit of an old grandpa. i like to sit around and read and... pet cats, and um, complain about kids trampling my lawn. i don't really do much and i like to wear sweaters and smoke so i guess that that's actually very fitting. sort of sad, hm? oh well. i'm a very happy person, and that's all that really matters. i'm pretty easy to get along with, i think, and i don't mind going out of my way to make others happy as well. i'm a hug machine. down to chill, down to fu-.... fudge? fudge! " "INTERESTING! WHERE WAS IT THAT YOU SAID YOU COME FROM?" " hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. oh, and formerly from london, england. " "WOW. SO WHAT IS A DAY IN THE LIFE OF YOU LIKE?" " i wake up rather early, chug about five cups of over-priced coffee, put contacts in, and try to muster up the muse to write something that doesn't completely suck. i write something that sucks completely, take my lunch break, and then try to write something better. i write something even worse, and then i'm done with work. i go home, eat some ramen noodles, and stay up until two in the morning pulling my hair out to make the next day deadline. it's fun! " "NICE. LAST QUESTION... WHY ARE YOU WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW AND WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE FOR YOU?" " why am i... oh. hm. well, if you want the truth, it's because i got fired from my old editing job in england. no, i didn't get deported or anything but when i couldn't get anything published privately over there after i got my pink slip, i just decided i needed to try new things. and sound addict has treated me well so far, so. no complaints, actually. i think i'll actually stay here a while, as long as i don't get caught sleeping on the job anymore. not that i... do that... or anything. " "ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?" " i want to kiss an american girl. really, really badly. are you... single...? " hey there, the name's ash. i live in the central time zone and this is my third character.
