It was a long day for Maude Maurillis at the office. So many appointments being made for the CIO, Chief Information Officer, Tobi. So many people coming in and just trying to get into his office. It doesn't help that Tobi is having an affair with the CEO, so she had to cancel several appointments when the ceo and Tobi left on a lunch time date. Maude doesn't need to care about this, at least not yet. The partners of these two need her to be quiet while they gather evidence, after all. But all Maude wanted to do is go home and crack the brand new vr headset Tobi gifted her the previous day, no doubt as an attempt to shut her up. It was set up the night prior, and would be sitting in her apartment behind not one, not two, but three locked doors, in her home office slash game room, finishing the download of a game Maude really really wanted.

So when offered the opportunity to just go home early by Tobi, Maude bolted for the door, and past Tobi's partner, Vikki, and the lawyer she brought. She wasn't thrilled about the bus ride home, but soon enough, she heard the magic words.

"MAUDE. Its your stop." The driver called.

After a quick thanks to the driver, maude bolts for the apartment, dashing up the stairs and to the smallish apartment. A neighbor tries to stop her to demand she remove some fake ivy or whatever from her balcony, but they're just given a quiet "mhm" from Maude as she enters her apartment and locks the door behind her.

Now it's time for the best part of the day, that game. Pokemon: Unovr. The brand new pokemon game that was released. With the new headset/bribe, she finally was able to play a pokemon game without having to share it with her family.

She changes into comfortable clothes, eats some rice, chicken, and pecans, and pulls the game system onto her head. After a moment the start up screen shows and she hits [start].

The entrance to the lab is a bit jarring, slightly too bright for Maude, slightly to dirty, and... is that a roach? Who would program that into a game? Oh, wait no its a raisin. Still nasty.

"If i hit start... then you must be the pokemon professor. Oh a doctor, that's... different. Do you need help? Oh right, yeah my starter. I heard that this was different than usual pokemon games. um... Fire?" She offers an uneasy smile to the sudden interviewer as she stands, not particularly interested in touching any of the piled up take aways on the only other chair she saw.

Maude looks at the Doctor, confused about the personality test she's suddenly encountered. After a moment of thought she shrugs and replies.

"i guess I try and talk to them? I'm not too good with people, honestly. But if that was out of the question then i guess try and figure out their favorite food and send them some."

The second and third questions catch her even more off guard, making her actually sit down.

"Hmm... I'd have to say the Story of the Golden Mare, the Firebird, and the Magic Ring. My mother was gifted a copy that was beautifully illustrated with gold leafing. The story was quite a sweet one about befriending animals, and taking your time to get to know someone, rather than keeping them locked away." She smiles, happy at the memory of her mother reading to her.

"As for time and space, I don't know where I would go. I would probably go to the future or Lebanon, back when it was called the Paris of the Middle East. both are good" She smiles. "And what about you Doc? what would your answers for these questions be?"

Maude will nod and smile to her, still a bit confused. These questions were a bit confusing in a Pokémon game, but she figured that the Pokémon company had to know what they were doing when they designed this, right? She was a bit surprised the AI understood her story answer, though. It wasn't a common tale told in Japan.

But these are questions for another time! Right now, she has to finish the meeting and get her Pokémon! 

"Thank you Doctor Bunya, for your questions, taking the time to speak with me, and for providing me with my first Pokémon." the Pokeball isn't caught with the nicest of catches, and is almost fumbled into an open takeout box covered in grease. But it doesn't fall from Maude's hands as she turns to look at the name on the Pokeball "A Cyndaquil? Heh, what are the odds of that, huh?"

Maude smiles as she pockets the Pokeball and bows to the Doctor. "I'll take my leave now doc, thank you."
