========== WRITTEN TEST ==========

[For this portion of the application, make your best effort to follow the italicized lines and NPC dialogue with whatever you wish, in order to explain your team. You can even change the setting of the interaction as long as the NPC still asks all the necessary questions. Be creative! You may delete this line if you wish.]


It's midday in the Dreamer's Eye, and your team has just gotten themselves registered at the Researchers Guild! Having some free time, your teammates decide to explore the open halls, but when they round the corner to move to the next, they encounter a group of Pokémon blocking the way. Many of them are chatting amicably, but a few in the back can be heard grumbling and snapping irritably, and the cause is revealed to be a somewhat tall Flygon attempting to shove her way through (and by the sound of it, accidentally hitting several Pokémon with her wings and tail as she goes).


"I-I hope s-she isn't having troub-ble." The incredibly shy wynaut managed to stutter out.


"I bet this is normal, don't worry. The halls here are incredibly cramped." Adenine said with a monotone voice, watching all the unfortunate pokemons in the hall get pushed around by her tail.


"Ohhh... Excuse me, pardon me, Leader's Assistant comin' through... C'mon guys, can’t you have your little meeting thing somewhere that isn't blocking a hallway? 'scuse me, sorry, jeez..."


The wynaut could feel his body already shivering, he has never seen a flygon before, neither one this tall before. "M-may I st-stay on your back?" He said already huddling next to the espeon's left hind leg.


"Sure, just calm down and take deep breath, everything will be fine, I promise." She said in a softer tone.


When she finally makes it out, you see that her arms are laden with a surprisingly large pile of thick paper scrolls. A large blueprints tube can be seen on her back, the strap crossing her chest diagonally and connecting with a metal clasp, while her wrists bear one gleaming armband each; silver worn on the right, and black worn on the left.


Your team has only a couple seconds to take this in, however, as an unfortunate misstep results in paper flying everywhere and the Flygon falling flat on her face. There are a few derisive chuckles from the group, but as none of them move forward to help the hapless earth dragon, your team steps up instead.


Thymine with other toughts began quivering again. "Pl-please, leave her be!" He begged.


Adenine ignored his pleas and walked up to the large grounded flygon. "You need any help? We'll be, erm, guess I'll be happy to help." She said seeing the wynaut hide as far as possible from the flygon. "Sorry, my partner is quite timid, especially around dragons and big pokemon." Adenine sighed. "Forgive him." Adenine's eyes glowed a purple hue as the fallen documents and papers suddenly floated up and piled up into the flygon's arms.


"Oooof, so many papers... There we go," the Flygon mutters, balancing everything back into a manageable pile before straightening and breaking out into a cheery smile. "Thanks so much for helping me pick all these up. I swear, that’s like the fifth time I’ve tripped today; I’m such a klutz…" She blinks. "Heeeey, wait a minute. You don't look familiar. Are you visiting the Guild?"


"Actually, no, we just registered." Adenine said as Thymine  spooked himself with his own reflection, literally.


Upon hearing that the team has just gotten done registering, she breaks out in a warm smile.

"Well no wonder I don’t remember you, you're new!" She inclines her long neck in the best bow she can manage without dropping everything all over again. "Welcome to the Researchers Guild! I'm Kali, I'm one of the Guild Leaders' assistants here. Pleased to meet you! And you are…?"


Adenine bowed before speaking. "Well, I am Adenine, and over there is my incredibly easily spooked partner, Thymine. Nice too meet you." The espeon said with a warm smile.


She smiles again. "Nice names! You don't hear many like that around here, but then again Andalusst is kind of a mish-mash of a whole bunch of different kinds of names. It's always nice to hear 'em since Pokémon do tend to come in from all over the place, after all. And speaking of which, did you guys get here from the fog or something?"


"Actually, no, I'm a native of Andalusst, I grew up her my entire life, as for him, I don't really know, he doesn't really speak of his home." Adenine glanced back at Thymine.


Would you look at that. Whether you like it or not, it seems you’re stuck with Kali for the time being, as she seems to be quite curious about your team.


"Really? Hmm, yeah, that's how it is for a few people around here. I'm not an Andalusst native myself, but I figured I'd stick around. Anyway, now that you're here and you've been registered as a team, what name did you pick?"


Adenine could feel herself starting to blush at the name Thymine suggested. "Nucleic, Team Nucleic, I guess it fits our names, but still." She said still unsure of the response the flygon would give upon hearing a silly team name.


She waits for the response with an expectant look, and laughs lightly when it’s given.


"Hah, that's so much better than the name I used when I signed up, wow. I was kind of, uh, young and silly back then, I guess you could say, so the name I used was... yeeeeaaaaah, pretty bad."


You notice she doesn't say the name she used, but before you can ask about it, the green Dragon-type tosses out another question with a curious tilt of her head.


"So what's your reason for joining the Guild, anyway? There are three guilds here in Andalusst, and even if I like it here with the Researchers, I know it's not the best fit for everyone since we're kinda knowledge-oriented; you could've just as easily registered with the Hunters, or the Explorers. So why here?"


The espeon tilted her ears back a bit. "Well, I'm pretty knowledgeable, I can remember everything since birth. Thymine over there is pretty good with science and he has too much cowardice to become an Explorer or a Hunter. I think it's his life goal to become a world renounced scientist due to an idol he had as a child."


Kali listens quite intently as your team tells its story, her earlier cheerful expression changing to one of thoughtful consideration. She waits patiently for the response to wrap up, before speaking again. "Wow, that's quite a tale! Not many Pokémon come through here with a story like that. Seems like everyone in the Guilds has a driving force behind what they do, and some reasons are... well, better than others."


She pauses, before her voice regains its chipper tone. "So that’s the "why" and the "how"; what about the "what"? What do you think made the Guild decide to accept you into the ranks?" She says this with honest curiosity, not a trace of taunt or teasing in her tone, and listens as your team lists off their skills.


Adenine looked up as if thinking, almost as if nothing, she smiled and replied. "Well, I don't have any problems recognizing formulas, calculations, or solutions, so I make a really good chemist. Thymine over there, even with his cowardice, he's pretty good actually at being a biologist."


"Oh wow, that's pretty cool! You guys are lucky. Y'know sometimes I wish I had a better skill set like that; then maybe I’d be more help to the Guild. Pretty much the only things I do around here are draw and deliver papers everywhere and, well, get stuck helping Archie."


She says the last part with sudden venom, and your team gets the feeling that she’s not entirely fond of the Pokémon in question.


Hearing the sudden 'venom' in her voice, Thymine flinched and covered his eyes, quivering again.


"I mean yeah sure he's one of the Guild Leaders, but he's just so... so... annoying, always bossing people around and taking credit for everything and acting like he's so much smarter than everyone else. And I'm always the one having to put up with him since someone has to help him but everyone else always runs off before they get stuck with him instead!"

"Eh, I ..... erm, know how you feel?" Adenine said, trying to relate.


Kali lets out a great huff of frustration, glancing away for a moment before remembering she has an audience. Giving an embarrassed chuckle as her face slowly reddens, she says, "And oh gosh, there I go running my mouth, ahaha! Sorry, I'm not talking too much or anything, am I? I kind of have a tendency to ramble on sometimes... And I probably really shouldn’t be bad-mouthing Archimedes...”

"That's ok, we all rant about things we don't like, it's natural."


With a sudden, panicked expression abruptly crossing her face as she remembers the mass of paper in her arms, she blurts, "And OH MY GOSH I still need to take care of these!"


She starts running down the hall, then abruptly pulls an about-face - accidentally whacking a passerby with her tail while doing so - to stammer, "Uh, it was nice meeting you! I'll, er, see you later, I hope?" She attempts to raise an arm to wave back, but stops when the paper pile in her arms wobbles precariously, and instead flashes a quick grin before stomping briskly away.


Adenine watched in amusement again wondering how her tiny arms can carry so much papers at once. Looking back at Thymine who was huddling in the corner, she walked towards him, extending her forked tail towards him. "Everythings alright, I promise, you can hold my tail if you want." She said in a calmed voice.


Shyly, Thymine grabbed Adenine's tail and got up. "I-Is she gone?" He asked still quivering.


"Yep. Don't worry, relax, it'll be all fine." She said as they both walked down the halls which seemed to have cleared up.
