There was something... magical about seeing your hard work come to life.

What were once strings of code on a stream were now visible pixels and data. The characters he helped make more stable and varied were right before his eyes. In fact, he could probably go up and touch Professor Ash if he so much inclined to.

However, since he helped build much of the code - he specifically knew that it was a bad idea. Especially since he was on a normal account with no Dev privileges. Instead, he smiled softly at the Pokemon Professor, almost like a mother who loved their child.

"Of course, games are actually a... passion of mine."

He gazed around the tent they resided in, everything felt and sounded so alive. The BGM was mainly ambient music at the moment but it fits such a location. The Surge Steppes was an excellent location to start at. As it was the newest Route it had the greatest of mysteries.

Mysteries that even Emery was unaware of due to working on certain sections of code. His expertise was NPC coding, he helped make some of the characters and even a few pokemon. So the greater secrets of the game world were lost to him. And was something he would have to discover himself as a player.

How exciting~!

"I'm ready when you are, my dear."

Such hard-hitting and personal questions... It almost felt like he was being interviewed for some trashy gossip rag. But he was sure that wasn't the intent of the other developers. However, he wondered how some of these questions were appropriate for younger folks, like the children who play this game.

Nonetheless, he might as well be truthful. And so, he spoke his true feelings on the subjects. Quite curious about what end result he would get.

"My my, straight for the jugular, hm? Very well..." He smiled, deciding to stand politely instead of sitting. "For the first question, I'm not a very confrontational person. I prefer subtle approaches. Small gestures that go out of my normal routine or attitude. It's hard to explain, but I'm far more emotional when around someone I like. I am also told I blush a lot more when around someone I find attractive."

"Next, I treat threats as calmly as possible. Panicking is how you get yourself killed. Enemies can tell when you're afraid. If you express immense fear they'll see that as weakness and abuse or kill you. Speaking calmly, quietly, and firmly is my strategy. Work yourself out of danger through words not fighting. Well, unless, it's a pokemon battle." He smiles wryly before chuckling lightly.

"And now the last question... The way I handle a mistake is... Panic internally while frantically trying to correct it. I'm not the best at dealing with failure. But I will try my damnedest to fix it. Remain cool and collected on the outside, and a whirlwind of fear and chaos on the inside."

He smiled, "Does that satisfy your curiosity?" He inquired, wondering what his answers would result in. He was very invested to see what pokemon fit him best. According to this survey.

Somnus held the pokeball in his hands, noting the name he peered at it curiously. He knew of the pokemon, but as embarrassing as it sounded he didn't manage to find time to play his copy of Pokemon Violet. So he knew next to nothing about the pokemon the Pokeball contained. Well, it would be a learning experience at least! "Thank you, my dear Professor." He gave a warm smile as he made his way towards exiting the tent. Curious about what UNOVR had in store for him.
