When Embry first came upon the ad for the contest, he had thought it was a scam. It was certainly persistent enough to be one. Besides, what the hell was that pitch? He snorted as he read it over. If something sounded too good to be true, then it probably was, and this one was definitely right up there. Whatever he wanted? He rolled his eyes. Yeah, right. "I wanna be the Queen of England. Think you can manage that?" he drawled. Not that anyone could hear him, of course, but he chuckled a little at his own joke.
He was bored though, and it was right there. After a moment's deliberation, he clicked on the ad to see where it would take him. He was surprised that it didn't ask for credit card information or anything like that, but as soon as he saw the questionnaire, he nodded to himself. Identity theft was pretty popular these days. He wondered how many unsuspecting schmucks had already fallen into this particular trap, lured in by absurd promises and the apparent safety of not having to put down a payment method.
Smirking, he clicked on the name field and typed 'James Bond'. He proceeded through the rest of the questionnaire this way with everything else pertaining to his identity, aside from gender and address. As the questions got more personal and less focused on his credentials, however, Embry began to doubt himself.
Well, it's not like they could really get me with this, he thought. He answered most of the quicker questions honestly.
I like the summer. The color... green. Pasta, steak, flan, apples, sushi. Eyes are the most attractive. A little cliche, the last one, but as far as his experience went, it was true. If it took more than a few words to answer though, he just wrote whatever nonsense came to mind.
What am I looking for in a partner? A hot smokin' piece of ass. He snickered. What the folks on the other end were going to make of this, he had no idea. The sex stuff was a bit creepy, but two could play at that game.
I'm into hardcore bondage. Me as the dom though, he added, just in case anything came of it. He didn't think anything would, but he didn't want to wake up to some weirdo trussing him up and dragging a whip over his skin either.
When everything was done, he clicked 'submit'. A glance at the time startled him; apparently he had wasted four whole hours on this. Man, if this was a scam, they were really going all-out on it. This was worse than the time he'd tried to create a joke profile on eHarmony.
