You arrive at the Pokemon Lab on the edge of a new frontier— miles of unexplored wilderness that hide secrets, corrupted Pokémon, and unknown potential. As you are teleported from the starting screen into the Lab, you don't know where to step, much less move. Books are stacked in haphazard piles on the floor, beakers of bubbling black fluid balanced precariously atop them. Styrofoam containers of old takeout are piled up in the garbage bin. Strange machines built of PVC piping and salvaged materials are scattered around like a car show gone wrong, some clearly still in-progress, some in the process of being rebuilt. A vaguely human-shaped specter of darkness is crouched on top of the desk, looking for something. "Where is it... where is it... NYA-HA!" The apparition straightens up triumphantly, fitting an oversized monocle into one glowing eye, and scooches forward so that her shadowy legs now dangle off the front of the desk like a kid in a high chair. "There we nyare! Hiya, nyewb! I'm Dr. Bunya! Don't nyask nyabout the whole shadow thing. It'll wear off." The region's newly-appointed Pokemon Professor seems more like a (cursed?) stray cat that wandered into someone's house than any kind of working professional, but you don't see an alternative. "Sit nyanywhere! You're here for a starter Pokenyan, right?" Your eyes are drawn to the display case behind her, where 27 sealed Pokeballs wait quietly behind the glass. System Admin:Bunyaa makes a show of shuffling some papers on her desk. "I got some questions to ask nya first! Heheheh..." Her body language changes from gleeful to panicked as she seems unable to find the relevant manual. "...Eh, I'll just wing it," you hear her mutter under her breath before turning back to you, chipper as before. "Nyall righty! When you're ready, say 'fire!'" Ryuunosuke: REPLY TO START THE INTERVIEW!

Ryuunosuke • Player Character Posts: 12 Player Name: Izumi Inoue OOC Username: Galeforce	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Ryuunosuke on Jul 29, 2024 21:33:00 GMT 9 Izumi is suddenly taken from the starting screen to the actual game. She blinks for a moment, trying to get a sense of what's going on. Being five foot nothing and suddenly feeling and looking like you're 6'0" was a big shock. "Whoa... So this is what it's like to be tall..." The young woman stops for a second before realizing her voice. "Wait... Is that my voice? I sound... so cool! And hot!" She freezes as she realizes Professor Bunya is there, talking about something. As Izumi... Now Ryuunosuke had the decency to look embarrassed. "I mean-" Wait, why was she apologizing?! This was her chance to be outspoken and assertive! That's why she created this guy character, right? "Anyways, I dunno what you're talking about, you look pretty cool!" The NPC was some kinda "cursed being" which was odd since she was sure Pokemon wasn't a creepypasta... At least not officially... "Whatever, 'fire' away!"

And hopes their not for collecting her... er... his? Data for AI or something. However, Ryuunosuke decided it was best to be honest. Since right now, she was not Inoue Izumi... And it's not like they knew who she was in real life, right? 'Right... I did this for myself after all... Treat this like a random customer survey or whatever...' Crossing his arms he closed his arms in thought before opening them. Looking seriously at the NPC before speaking. "Unethical Science is terrible and shouldn't be done. ...Shit like experimenting on innocent animals or using human beings for tests are heinous and shouldn't be a thing... If that's what you mean." He uncrossed his arms and rubbed the back of his head as he answered the next question. "As for the second question... hm... that's a tough one. I like quite a few books. But I guess if I were to choose a book it would be "The Warriors" books? The one with the feral cats by Erin Hunter, I mean... Please don't look at me like that..." He sighed glancing away before answering the last question. "And, I'm Japanese, I don't have a middle name. But I have a nickname if that counts?" Ryuunosuke shrugged not sure what to say beyond that.

These are all very serious questions, and the scientific input of a respected random visitor is deeply appreciated. She tears off the sheet of paper she was writing on and reaches absentmindedly down into the file cabinet beneath the desk, unlocking it with a satisfying click. On the paper, you see a glimpse of a feral cat wearing a lab coat and a monocle. "This nyan is the best," she says, excited, then tosses the Pokeball into your hands. On the front is a piece of white tape with the name of the Pokemon written in precise, angular letters. Interview complete! Reply one more time to complete your starter lab thread. Ryuunosuke

Not what I was expecting but at least it's evolutions are cool..." She muttered aloud before sighing. "Alright, see ya then... I guess?" The tall, buff, Trainer gave an awkward smile. Though you can tell on their face that they were slightly miffed at the starter result. "Right, I guess this is it? Er..." He looked around before figuring the game would send him to the game proper now. "Later." Excitement thrummed through her body as she awaited to be brought to the main game area, curious of what awaited them...

"Like I said, it's the best nyan!" She waves her hands in the air cheerfully. "Anyway, you are nyow a full Trainer! Your UI is all nyactivated, and you can catch wild Pokemyan!"
