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. Outpost 1 is little more than a tent city encircling the Research Lab. Professor Ash, your region professor, has been studying the area with her assistants in preparation for receiving new explorers. As you are teleported from the starting screen into the Lab, a tall woman with sleek silver hair straightens up from her desk. "Perfect timing," she says, cool and collected. "I just received your details. Domino, was it? I gather you're here to apply for your Starter Pokemon." Your eyes are drawn to the display case behind her, where 24 sealed Pokeballs wait quietly behind the glass. Picking up a clipboard, Ash gestures for you to take a seat across from her at the desk. "Before I assign you a partner, I need to confirm a few details of your personality," she says, tone measured. "Pokemon are complex creatures. It's essential to match them with their trainers correctly. If you don't mind, I'd just like to ask you a few questions." She clicks her pen, offering you a reassuring smile. "Don't think of it like 'an interview.' Think of it like... a game." Domino: REPLY TO START THE INTERVIEW!

Domino • G.A.Y. Round 2 Posts: 314 Trainer Class: Player Name: Hilda Faust OOC Username: Stells Arena Points: 40	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Domino on Nov 15, 2022 22:06:17 GMT 9 The quintessential Pokémon experience starts right here: not at the lab, but with meeting the professor. Your introduction to the world of pokémon. In that sense, UNOVR is different from mainline games, and every time Hilda has found herself stepping into Professor Ash's lab with a new account, she has found herself wondering about that. What kind of Pokémon would Professor Ash have if she did the whole "Welcome to the world of Pokémon" lecture? If it were Hilda's choice, she'd give her something cute that spawns at the settlement... Maybe a Gothita or something. "A game, huh?" Domino smirks, multicoloured eyes meeting those of C0D13:ProfessorAsh. "Sure. Shoot."

Domino • G.A.Y. Round 2 Posts: 314 Trainer Class: Player Name: Hilda Faust OOC Username: Stells Arena Points: 40	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Domino on Nov 15, 2022 22:34:05 GMT 9 "Ah, those are good ones." She had expected the personality quiz, but the questions aren't always the same. Some people would think of lying, but Domino knows better than to think doing as much will give her the answer she desires. She takes the truth, tee reality of who Hilda is, and picks the preferable bits and pieces. "When I was a kid I was competitive. I loved winning." At TCG. Hilda has always been a sucker for card games, especially the Pokémon one. Domino's arms cross over her chest and she frowns just so slightly. Thinking. Reminiscing. "Ha. I actually used to get into a lot of fights." Mostly with her brothers. She moves on to the next question without clarifying. But... What exactly is Ash asking? Warm drinks? Cold ones? Alcohol? Whatever the player interprets the question as definitely will influence the result. "Latte for warm drinks, cream soda for cold ones, and I usually go for cosmos at bars." An eyebrow is raised. She almost considers asking Ash what her choices would be for her own entertainment. Instead, she asks something different: "Ever had any of those, professor?" And then, as if a footnote that had almost been forgotten, it's passingly and nonchalantly that she adds: "I'm an Aquarius, by the way." Hilda actually reads her horoscope every day and religiously checks the Co-Star app.

She treats each response with the same level of professional seriousness, as if even your decision to cover all your beverage bases is significant in her calculations. "Coffee is my beverage of choice, and lattes are more common than water in this lab." "Thank you, Domino," she says simply once the player character is finished. She checks the time on a thin wristwatch, tapping her chin with the end of her pen. "That's all the data I need for now. " She tears off the sheet of paper she was writing on and swivels in her chair, standing up in a smooth, fluid motion. She crosses to the display case, unlocking it with a satisfying click. After consulting her notes one more time, Ash selects a single Pokeball from the case and returns, settling back at her desk. "Based on your personality profile, I've determined this will be the ideal starter Pokemon for you," she says, tone even, then sets the Pokeball in your hands. On the front is a piece of white tape with the name of the Pokemon written in precise, angular letters. CHARMANDER Interview complete! Reply one more time to complete your starter lab thread.

Domino • G.A.Y. Round 2 Posts: 314 Trainer Class: Player Name: Hilda Faust OOC Username: Stells Arena Points: 40	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Domino on Nov 15, 2022 23:26:58 GMT 9 Just like that, the interview is complete and the pokéball is given to her. ’Charmander’ it says in a clear and perfectly-readable font, and at the sight of it, Domino smiles faintly. Call it nostalgia, but Hilda has always preferred Gen I starters, as is proven by the Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur first generation cards that are proudly framed at her place. "Perfect." It really is. "Thanks, prof." But then comes the matter of the Pokémon itself, which of course has its own personality. Knowing this, once Domino stands and removes the piece of white tape, she pauses, gesturing for her UI to open. ~~ENABLE POKÉ-SPEECH?~~ She temporarily changes the setting, toggling poké-speech on. As such, when the pokéball is clicked open, it's with the following that the Charmander greets her, letting out a not-at-all-mighty roar: <'I am dread and I am terror! I am the ever-burning flame! I am the one who brings all his enemies to ashes! ...You! Who are you to think yourself worthy of being my trainer?'> The Charmander points up at her in an almost accusatory manner and Domino stares down at him – unfazed. She blinks, she reaches down, and she picks him up, causing the little lizard to furiously wag his flaming tail. This has no effect on his Kindler of a new trainer. "Hm. I think I'll call you Balerion... Balerion, The Black Dread." It's a Game of Thrones reference. <'Oh! I like that that, yes! The Black Dread.'> "And I'm making you a support." <'WHAT?!'> "Yep. Alright, let's go. Bye, prof." Giving Balerion no time to complain, Domino decisively tucks him under her arm and disables poké-speech once again. She wanders towards the door, waving goodbye at the professor as if there weren't a pokémon squirming in her grasp.
