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!'" Revel: REPLY TO START THE INTERVIEW!

Revel • Player Character Posts: 6 Player Name: Akio Nozawa OOC Username: Spinner	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Revel on Nov 5, 2024 5:06:27 GMT 9 Today was the day. Akio had to endure his first days at the new branch in New York, and despite the brief language barrier and culture shock, he managed to adapt to his new surroundings. Now that he was done with RL obligations, he could focus on the most important part of the move: migrating to UNOVR's US server. So he created a new character and switched on his Worldscreen as he entered the virtual world of UNOVR once more. ----- When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a decluttered room far from Professor Ash's laboratory during his first day on the Japanese server. As he looked around, he saw a glance of an unfamiliar face in a beaker's reflection. But instead of a brown-haired casual man in a suit, he saw a handsome man wearing clothes reminiscent of a Victorian era. He wasn't surprised by the change as he deliberately chose this appearance to contrast his time in his home server. And then, there was a welcome screen he was now familiar with. Welcome to ~~UNOVR~~, Revel. That was the true identity he took in this server and he picked that name for a good reason. Back in the Japanese server, he was known as "Aki," a bright-eyed rookie eager to discover the unknown world with his knowledge of Pokemon games and lore. But he was also naive at that time and he made too many mistakes that caused him to gain many losses and delay in growth. This time, he didn't want to waste this second chance and get on top enough to mitigate his loss. That said, he still needed a starter and if he recalled, Professor Ash got fired after the Thunderfall raid. He wondered if the outcome was the same here... And he just got his answer when a humanoid specter suddenly appeared behind. Of course, he wasn't equipped with this occurrence as he screamed almost in a high-pitched tone. Thank god, he was the only one in this tutorial area. "Uh, right. The questions." Revel cleared his throat as he regained his composure. "Just fire it up. I'm ready for any question you have."

Revel • Player Character Posts: 6 Player Name: Akio Nozawa OOC Username: Spinner	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Revel on Nov 9, 2024 7:37:53 GMT 9 There they were, the questions. If Revel recalled, his questions were about his ambitions for the future, his views on research, and something about the possibilities of doing more than exploration. It was a year ago, but he was a bit naive when he answered them. However, while it was no different with Dr. Bunya, her questions seemed to be a bit...odd, to say the least. And that was nothing compared to her shadow form. "Normally, people would say "It's bad to lie". However, it depends on the situation. If there is a secret that you can't tell for a justified reason, a white lie is needed to avoid the fallout. But if you're simply doing so just to escape, then you're no better than the bad liars," he said with a shrug. "Lying is sometimes necessary in a pitch or at the crossroads." The next two questions were much stranger. How could he answer when he had no idea what she ate in the first place? "Uh... A ham sandwich?" Revel groaned. "You know what? Next question, please." The last question was an inkblot test. It was much weirder, but it wasn't too complicated as he looked closely at the blot. "I would say you. But I'm guessing it's a flying Pikachu covered in oil." He sighed. "Is that all?"
