The lands he spawned in reminded him of a settlement that was still trying to get its footing in a wild space. Kallisto, decked in the outfit he had always worn with the character model, was still getting used to actually moving around in it in this space. This wasn't his first time trying VR, but technology had certainly gone a long way since his last experience. There didn't seem to be any lag at all while he moved his head around. Interesting.

He supposed what was also weird and interesting was that he didn't have any shoes on. Where were his boots? He had been very much looking forward to walking in them too...

Oh well, perhaps it was a reward for completing a mission. Better get started then so that he could actually move around comfortably. He turned his attention to the tent and to the professor that greeted him. If he hadn't known better, she'd look like a player to him, but he imagined that she had given this spiel so many times before, to all of the other testers that had booted up the game. She also mentioned something about a starter Pokemon? Ah, what did he pick that time before? The chicken?

Kallisto took his seat as told, but was silent the whole time, listening. Upon hearing the word "game", however, he couldn't help but crack a little bit of a smile. ❝A game indeed...❞ he always made his voice somewhat deeper when talking as Alexander. ❝Very well, what are these questions that you have for me?❞

Frankly, the pictures on the screen were all foreign to him, except for the chick, he supposed. Any would do, so long as they were strong.

Well, these were uncommon sort of questions, at least, but he had no idea how they could be used to pick his starter Pokemon. Did the answers even matter? Oh well, he decided that he would just respond with the first thing he had in mind (as an ancient vampire that just wanted to get this whole thing started).

❝How would you react to being locked in a pitch-black room?❞

❝It wouldn't be the first time.❞ he quipped, though he kept a straight face. ❝Feel around and try to find my way out, by force if necessary.❞

❝What's your ideal date?❞

Kallisto raised a brow at this. As Remmiel, he had dated, but he never really had a long nor serious relationship. It wasn't exactly something that he had placed in high priority either.

❝Someplace quiet and private.❞ he responded after a few moments of consideration.

❝Do you have a natural talent for anything?❞

He couldn't help but smile ever so slightly here, just a small tug on the edge of his lips. ❝I have been told that my voice is my greatest asset.❞ he wasn't sure yet if it would also be Kallisto's greatest asset either (or if there was something else that would work just fine. He wanted him also to be physically strong, though how he was going to achieve that, he would have to look into it).

❝Are these responses suitable enough, Professor?❞

Kallisto took the Poke Ball and glanced at the name before comparing it to the chart. It was...another bird? He squinted, trying to get a better look. ❝A penguin?❞ another bird, yes. Maybe it waddled. He was not sure how to feel about this, but he remembered Pokemon was that kind of game that allowed creatures to evolve into cooler looking things. Maybe this little one would also evolve into something cool and powerful. Well, Kallisto sure hoped so; otherwise he wasn't sure what to do with it.

He decided he would take a closer look later. For now, he thanked the professor, couldn't forget one's manners. ❝Right,❞ he muttered, ❝I suppose this ends the tutorial?❞
