Tenebra: How did you agree to do interviews? You get blackmailed or something?

Neve: What's dorm life like at the PCA?

Sheilyn: Who do you think is most likely to graduate at the top of your class?

Tenebra: Dad said it would be good for me to open up. Whatever, I didn't have anything else to do.

Neve: Chaotic. People running around, makin' noise, actin' like idiots all th' time. So kind of like home I guess, only the food isn't as good.

Sherilyn: Eh it's hard to tell, zere are a lot of students good in the arena but who slack on grades, and vice versa. Maybe me, who knows?

Tenebra: Team Jet seems so...hostile an environment (internally that is). Don't you ever look at how other teams behave and wish it could be like that for the Jets?

Tenebra: What, hugs and makeup parties? I heard a saying once, "When we pray for strength we're given troubles, because overcoming troubles makes us stronger". Works fine for us.

Tenebra: Uh-huh. Well, we're more-or-less familiar with how you are with your sister, but how're you around Mitzi? What's THAT like for you?

Neve: What was your best moment at the PCA?

Sherilyn: Do you get hit on a lot?

Tenebra: Mitzi's allright, just kind of frustrating to be around. She makes my head hurt. It's not like we hang out or anything.

Neve: Oh geez, I dunno. First win maybe? I guess it kinda sticks out at least.

Sherilyn: *sigh* Oui, clumsily. So many "wanna make sparks fly" remarks. So so many...

Tenebra: Who (in the PCA) was your toughest opponent? I know you never lose (save perhaps by disqualification) so I'm wondering who's given you a good run for your money.

Neve: Okay, what about most embarrasing moment?

Sherilyn: Is there anyone you don't see as just an opponent? Friends, potential beaus, and the like?

Tenebra: There was an ariados guy, graduated last year. Named Petrova or some weird-sounding name. He was really good, had a good plan going in. But in the end he overexerted and ran out of steam. Was the toughest fight I've had yet up until that point. I think he's in one of the minor battle leagues now.

Neve: Oh geez you would ask. Once last year, near th' end of th' semester, I was in a battle, an' I was kinda sick, not really bad enough to skip it, but enough tha' my head hurt and I felt like crap. And some onix guy hit me upside the head and next thing I remember I was wanderin' around th' quad wearin' a sheet babblin' in Spanish. It's like I slowly started ta come to, and kinda remembered stuff, but Skylar was tellin' me I did all sortsa stuff an' I didn' know what ta believe. I still don't.

Sherilyn: Eddie is still my best friend 'ere, but a beau? No, I don't quite think so. Nicole and I are friends, I like to think. I know many people do not like her, but we understand each other, and there is a mutual respect. I'm not saying I approve of much of what she's done, but I understand her frustration.

Tenebra: And what about on the other end of the spectrum? Who was your easiest opponent? Is there anyone you haven't faced yet who seems like they'll be a worthy adversary?

Neve: Oooh, hope you were wearing something BENEATH the sheet. How often to you use Spanish in your day? You have any friends, associates, outside of your team? And Blister?

Sherilyn: What's your plan, post-school.

Tenebra: There's been too many to mention. As far as those I haven't faced yet, there's nobody I want to mention.

Neve: I... don't remember.
Skylar: She said she was Emperor Sneaser and she demanded a tribute of underw-
Neve: OK! Gracias chica! I only use it when I get mad. Or delirious. Usually. I spoke it a lot when I was growin' up so sometimes I just fall back on it without thinkin'. I have friends, sure. I don't drive everyone away. Do I?

Sherilyn: I'm hoping to get into a prestigious battle league. There is a long tradition of it in my family, and I'm not going to be the one to let that change.

Tenebra: What would you do if some guy had the guts to go up to you and say that you looked hot. What would you do?

Neve: What do you think of Rene?

Tenebra People say a lot of things, I usually ignore them.

Neve: I like the little fuzzball, he reminds me a' one a' my brothers. Or cousins. I can't keep track. I think he needs to get over some hangups and just have fun once in a while though, no offense, I'm just sayin'. I think when we're all eighteen he's gonna get drug to a strip club, given about $300 in singles, and not be allowed to leave until they're all gone. In fact I'm gonna go make some way early reservations, my cousin Marco knows some guys...

Tenebra: What would happen if you somehow ran into your old folks? Or your sibling from your old family?

Neve: How do you fair in battling? What was the worst time you ever got injured in a fight? And please don't make Rene's head explode.

Tenebra: It would be bloody. They were both a pair of self-absorbed drunks who can burn in hell and I'd like to show them the way after what the did to me. My "brother" caught the same crap but he shoveled it onto me. I don't know how much I can blame him but he'd be due an ass-kicking anyway.

Neve: Eh a lot of opponents don't take me all that serious 'cause I'm small but I got ways of changin' their attitudes. The worst I got hurt wasn't at the school, it was in the street back home. There was a couple flareon chicas pickin' on one of my brothers, I stepped in and slapped onna 'em so hard it knocked one 'a her teeth out. You just don' mess with mi familia, you know? Her sis' jumped me an' it was all on. I don't think anyone won, it was the worst I've ever been hurt, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Tenebra: You know Tenebra, you seem much less psychotic than first appearances would seem to indicate.

Neve: Do you get hit on a lot?

Neve: Not often enough, I think I scare guys away some- [i]HEY! I heard that chico! You want me ta come over there and shove somethin' where Sunny Day don't shine? Yeah 'at's what I thought.[/i[ Anyway I think I scare guys away somehow...

Somehow, yes. What's something about you that you've never told anyone?

Neve: *sigh* Ok fine. I kissed a girl once. It was just once, like a year ago, an' I'm not inta that, it was just... one 'a those things, aight? Not that I have a problem with girls that like girls, it's just not my thing, ya know?
Skylar: Was there tongue?
Neve:[/i} What the? You were listening?!?! I swear chica I'm gonna rip that tail off an' pry your freakin' head open with it! Get yo' ass back here!
[i]Skylar: (flying off) Neve's got a giiiiirlfriend!!

Poor Neve...say the word and I'll sick Rene on Skylar. Flaming hot metal.

Skylar, why do you torment Neve?

Nicole: Who do you think is the most pathetic team in the PCA? And what do you think (assuming you do) of a certain transgendered vulpix?

Damn I really need to work on proofreading these italics, keep messing it up...

Skylar: I don't know, I was an only child growing up so I never had any sisters or brothers to torment. It's a show of love, really! And I'm trying to make her feel at home.

Nicole: Most pathetic? I could say the Meanies but that's just too easy, really. I don't keep track of the pathetic ones. You mean that Rene guy? Let me get this straight... he's a guy, and likes girls, but since he wishes he were a girl and wears women's underwear, all the girls let him hang out in their locker room and watch them change. And meanwhile they freak out if a guy who likes girls and likes being a guy peeks on them while they change, but it's OK if a lesbian watches them because she's a girl, even if she wants to be a guy. A psych major looking for a thesis could have a field day in this school.

Neve: What's one thing you really want?

Nicole: You obviously seem to be a creature of class and intellect (if a bit arrogant)...why are you dating Zap then? You could do better, you know.

Neve: *sighs* For my family to be safe and happy. They live in a bad part of town and things have never been easy. I'm hoping I can get a career as an arena battler to take off, they make loads of money. I want to be able to move them all into a big mansion somewhere. Make that several mansions, they would kill each other if they were all under one roof.

Nicole: You want me to be blunt? I spend all day thinking, planning, and trying to stay one step ahead of the competition. Sometimes you just want to let that all go and engage yourself in something that requires no thought or intelligence at all. And, well, he delivers, if you know what I mean.

Neve: Awww...*hugs Neve* Poor chica. What's the most fun you've ever had?

Nicole: No, I don't know and don't WANT to know, thank you!

Mitzi: Is there anyone in the school whose like you? Happy and whatnot?

Neve: I think the party last year after final exams, there was karaoke and everything, it was great seeing everyone being so silly. Like a family reunion only nobody was drunk.

Mitzi: Hmm... That Floritt girl, Smeargle. No wait. Other way around. She's fun and can dance really good! And she sounds funny when she talks. There's a few others too. Not everyone is all gloom and doom and blah blah yuck.

Neve: Is there anyone you deal with on a regular or semi-regular basis that you have a hard time with?

Mitzi: What's your favorite cheer to do?

This is to all teams, ever had an embrassing moment that was enough to turn your face to flustered red? (or a deeper red with you guys that got red faces.)

Mitzi I once walked around all day at school with a sock stuck to my tail from static cling and nobody said anything, I was so embarassed when I found out but I was also kind of glad that nobody noticed I only had one sock on.

Neve/ Nicole, what Hair conditioner do you two use?
Skylar, how do you keep from rusting?
Mitzi, What's your favorite song?
Eddie, just how awesome are you?
Dominic, Can you actually play the electric by sending the right electrical pulses through the guitar to the amp?
Tenebra, How many souls have you devoured?
Zachary, has your tail ever bitten you or anyone else?
Nicloe, who does your nails?


PS: who won the bitch off, Stella or Nicole?

Neve: I dunno, whatever's on sale?
Nicole: It's this really expensive stuff from overseas, my mom sends it home when she's on a shoot. I forget what it's called though, has a picture of some exotic plant on the bottle.

Skylar: Uh, move around a lot? It's not like I'm going to rust, my skin might get some rough patches but that's about it. They make specialty oils for that sort of thing.

Mitzi: Walking on Sunshine! No wait, I Want Candy. No I mean Walking on Sunshine, but I want candy. Anyone have any chocolate? What?

Eddie: I'm all that and a Super-Size economy size get a ladder and a forklift and cram it into the back of your truck-sized bag of chips. Jalapeno flavored. With salsa. Can't forget the salsa. And oh yeah, I'm pretty awesome too.

Dominic:[/i} I tried that once but blew out the amp, it was pretty sweet!

[i]Tenebra: ...what?

Zachary: Uh yeah, it happens a lot. At first I thought it would be a cool way to meet chicks, but then, it wasn't so cool, because the chicks I met were all mad cause you know, they just got bit on the butt or somethin'. Except for maybe one or two, I think they kind of liked it...

Nicole: They're diamond-ground, laser-finished, and treated with a molecular bonding process. Sure it's expensive as hell and generally reserved for the top-tier arena pros, but when your dad's a billionaire who owns those arenas, it's pretty irrelevant. And it's worth it to see the look on the faces of those steel and rock types who get in my face and brag about how I couldn't possibly scratch them. Oh the polish? I do that myself. And if that stuck-up little shrub wants a piece of me, I'm not hard to find.

Whoops I emant the Goth what her name?.... Methelza

Tenebra: Ever heard of Gadget Hackwrench?

Tenebra: No, sounds like a metang...

Tenebra: How strong are you?

Mitzi: What is it like to automatically plan strategies while fighting?

Tenebra: I'm not the strongest 'mon in the school but I'm not far off. And I'll trade punches with them any day.

Mitzi: What's a stertagically? I just have like a little voice thing in my head and it tells me what people are going to do and what I should do about it. I don't argue with it, I'm not very good at arguing.

Mitzi: Is this all just a "mask" or are you just genuiely awesomely bubbly?
Zachary: Did you ever wish that you wre never born with a mischievous tail?

Mitzi: What? I wore a mask once for Halloween, I went as Bubblemon from the Mega Mon games, is that what you mean? I got a lot of candy even though my bubble gun ran out of soap.
Zachary: Maybe sometimes, but then it makes me get a really bad headache so I quit thinkin' about it.

Nicole: Why do you pick on younger kids at the PCA
Tenebra: What do you think your weakness is? (Not referring to type)
Methelza: What do you hope to accomplish in life...er...death?
Mitzi:.....Do you like cake?

Nicole: I don't know where this started but I don't pick on the younger kids. I'm all about getting and keeping the highest rating at the academy, and they aren't worth squat in the ratings, why would I waste my time with them? But they all have this gunslinger mentality, they all want to puff up and call me out because they think that just because they win a couple matches in junior league that they're Arceus' gift to the arena. It doesn't work that way. If you want to battle me, you have to earn it. I'm doing them a favor by blowing them off, but they're all too immature to realize that.

Tenebra: I don't have one, and if I did, I certainly wouldn't share it.

Methelza: The same as everyone else - power. My entire family has been used and manipulated by others, it's time that changed. One way or the other.

Mitzi: I love cake! I was in math class the other day, and the teacher said "Pie are square". But that's silly, pie aren't square, pie are round! Cake are square. But wait, sometimes cake can be round too.. I'm so confused...

Nicole: Sounds reasonable. I assumed you didn't like young kids after what happened to that pikachu kid...zip....zap.....zack....I dunno.

Tenebra: Then would you say your weakness is not knowing your weakness?

Methelza: Well, I how do you plan on accomplishing this?

Mitzi: That's lovely..okay, how about an easier question, what's the relationship like between the team members of your team?

Nicole: Oh I never said I liked them. Most of them are little snots without an ounce of respect. There's exceptions sure, and they're just fine. But most of them can rot on the side of the road for all I care.

Tenebra: If someone wants to show one to me, I'm waiting. Plenty have tried.

Methelza: Fear is power, for we misdreavus anyway. And knowledge is power, I don't care what species you are. I plan on cultivating both. I'm in no hurry, when you're immortal, you have plenty of time to plan things out.

Mitzi: Nikki's been my best friend since we were... (starts counting on finger) like this old. She's really nice, like her dad. But I dunno... she's changed lately. Gotten real mad. Tenebra's just always been mad but I don't know at who. I don't know why they're so mad, they have a huge house, tons of money, they can go to the circus like... whenever they want. I don't really like Methelza, and I don't really care if she hears it. It's not that I don't like ghosts, there's a bunch at the school that are really nice and funny. But she's just trouble, I can smell it. She's a good fighter though.

Very interesting. Well, thank you all for taking time to have this interview. Is there any last things you would like to say?

(Drake, my farfetch'd: [toTenebra] I've gotten something I'd like to show ya! Bow-chicka-bow-wow)

Methelza: Are there any flaws among your teammates you hope they someday correct?
Mitzi: ...so I heard you like ice cream. Fave flavors?

Dominic: So dude...what kind of chicks do you dig? Drop names of girls that come close to what you consider "hot" if you feel like it.

Sherilyn: You've got quite a few admirers out there. Any words of advice you'd like to share with any would-be fans of yours?

Methelza: Not really, they seem to be doing just fine as is.

Mitzi: Pink. Pink is my favorite flavor. I don't like green very much, especially the crunchy kind of green. Ice cream shouldn't be green. It should be pink. Or brown. Yellow is ok too.

Dominic: I don't mean to show favoritism or nothin' but electric chicks are hot. Like that Charla girl, zzz-POW! I like the athletic, active types you know? Girls that know how to have a good time. I just can't get into the mopey ones, like that Nigel chick. Dude! I know, you're a dude! I'm joking! Geeze, Tess told me to say it, take it out on her! There's this one lairon girl, Lorissa, she's the drummer in the band I'm in. day-AMN but don't tell her I said that, she's kinda scary. But in the good way, ya know? Like, I'm gonna die, but it would be worth it.

I plan on drawing her soon.

Sherilyn: Eh I don't know, be careful what you wish for maybe?

(Dang better draw Lorissa soon, Lairons are awesome!)

....WIN. Way to make one of my kids either twitch in contempt for electric squirrels and another to boggle at the idea of calling ice cream by their *colors* (which makes me wonder, does she pick music out by its flavor?).

Nicole: Seems like you don't think too highly of most teams in the academy. Are there any out there currently that you have respect for, possibly any that you might consider being even fairly close to Team Jet's level?

Tessa: What's the one piece of advice you most commonly give when helping out the newer students who are still getting used to battling?

Mitzi: What's going on with your brother Jerry these days? Heard much from him lately?

Dominic: Jenny wants to know if you're doing anything this weekend, and if not would you like to maybe go hang out or see a movie with her or something?

Nicole: I'm good at seeing what others are really capable of, I inherited it from my dad I guess. I'm not always right, but I'm never totally wrong either. There's just too many people at the academy who don't take battling seriously, and don't take anyone else seriously either. And yeah, I don't think too highly of them. We've been dancing around Team Summit for a while, but for whatever reason we've just never met face to face. Too many schedule conflicts I guess. Zap's team is pretty good, but their teamwork is kind of lacking. They all want to be the star of the show and don't work together too well.

Tessa: Decide very quickly what it is you wanna achieve, and then don't hold back in going for it. The harshest enemy you'll ever face is your own self-doubt, beat that, and you can beat anyone.

Mitzi Wow, everyone keeps asking me stuff! I love Jerry, I talk to him on the phone a lot but I don't see him too often 'cause he travels so much. Next time the battle league comes through town we're gonna go to the mall and go to a movie that we've already seen a couple times and say everyone's lines early until they throw us out. He's fun!

Dominic: Jenny, yeah I know her she's in my physics class. Yeah, she's a babe! I got band practice Saturday afternoon but yeah definitely!

Tenebra: How do you stand the way Nicole treats you? I know she's your adopted sister, but at times have you or have you ever wanted to have a one on one match with and just flatten her?

Tenebra: Because she's family, and as much of a bitch as she can be she's still better than anything I've had before. I put up with it for dad's sake, he wants us to get along.

Methelza, question from my Dusknoir, Bastion- "It's not a secret amongst those in the ghost society that your family is a... "black mark" in a way amongst "our" culture. But I wonder, how is it that you feel about other ghosts due to this? None the less the ghosts who don't share this "black mark" sentiment?"

Methelza: I don't really relate to them and I don't really trust them. I've never lived among "our" culture and don't have a whole lot of love for it. Being royally screwed before you were even born will do that to you.

Bastion: Understandably so. But I have to ask if you've ever been curious on what you've missed from it? Whether there's love or not, I make a bold assumption in thinking there may be some curiosity... Not that I know much of it myself, but that's a tale for another day. ... I also wonder, do you hold contempt towards your kin for dooming you to cuh a fate?

Methelza: Contempt? What do you think. I respect my family because they ARE my family but I don't have to respect the decisions they made in the past. Nor do I feel the need to sit and accept their consequences. Any curiosity about the ghost realms will be resolved in due time.

Bastion: Something terribly admirable, if you ask me. Some people would just choose to drop such things, because of the fact that they are you're family... but the fact that you refuse to accept their blunder. Thank you for your time Methelza... ... though I should apologize for starting in with such a touchy subject, it was rather disrespectful of me. ... Thank you again.



... he really wanted to ask her out he didn't think it would be happily received. ;P lol

Methelza: Tell us about the fam a bit.

Big Eddie: How's that Mamoswine behaving? Sometimes she wanders off with Gweneth's in class and I don't know what she might be destroying...

Methelza: The only one I know is my mother. She never talks about any of my other ancestors except to hint that they may or may not have met with an unpleasant end. Vague yet uninformative, that's her. My mother could bake a batch of cookies with gumdrops and it would look shady. I'm actually quite content living in the school's dorms and talking to her only when I must.

Eddie: Hey I've tried to get her to channel alla that mad into more constructive destruction. Or get her to hit people who don't mind so much. Like me. Oh 'mon she was drinkin' a cherry slurpee and I bopped it right on the bottom, lid popped off and it went everywhere! I think we broke like, three cars before we ran off 'cause the cops were comin'. Two of them upside my head! Uh, cars, not cops... But it was cathartic. She made me buy her a new shirt so I bought her a Rainbow Brite t-shirt and ran like hell. Good times!

Stomp stomp stomp. Elephants and boar-mammoths on parade. ;D

Okay, I've got a question for the one person that hasn't been asked a question yet.

Rylai: What do you think has influenced you most in bringing your crusades for/against whatever? Like, did you watch a lot of Captain Planet as a kid or something more substantial?

Rylai: Oh yeah, the establishment tried ta keep me quiet, tried not ta let my voice be heard. Screw the 'mon! I ain't shuttin' up 'cause I got lots ta say! I'm crusadin' for the oppressed, the depressed, and th' repressed! Captain Planet?!? Sheeeeyit that was nothin' but a corporate ploy to make money offa their lame attempt at bein' good, then they make all kindsa money offa toys, an' cereal, an' all that and how much 'a that money went to a good cause an' how much went inta their pockets? Yeah, that's what I thought! 'mon if Captain Planet were here, I'd kick that muthafucka in the nuts, spit in his face, an' say "Yeah! Where's your powers now, bitch? You just got polluted on!" an' then I'd kick him in the nuts again, 'cause he's a disgrace! An'-

(Sorry, I had to cut her off, this goes on for quite a while...)

Amazing Arceus, what monster have I awakened? *sob*

...Eddie! Good, awesome Eddie...tell me, Eddie, you're a gamer. What game do you treasure more above any other?

Eddie: Oh dude, I'm all up in the old school... screw Halo and Counter Strike and all that too-fancy crap, I'll go Doom II all the way, and I'll take people to school in an x-wing in it to this day! I got every version and like fifty level hacks on a flash drive on my keychain that has DOOM written on it with a red paint pen, see?

Nicole: Allot of your life seems to revolve around pleasing your father. Have you ever considered a life or career outside of the fighting world, or does your close relationship make that impossible? Or has it simply never occurred to you?

Tenebra: I've heard your current name is an assumed one. What made you pick it? Does it have any special meaning?

Mitzi: You're said to be Nicole's best friend- Outside of fighting, what do the two of you do together?

Methelza: You conflict between you and team leader Nicole is known, however, next to nothing is known about your relationship with Mitzi or Tenebra. What do you think of them?

Dominic- What's the name of your band?

Skylar: What's the actual hardness of your skin, in general? is it all hard, or is just your talons and beak, with other parts soft? Or is it in some other pattern?

Zachary: Id its not too personal, What company was responsible for the loss of your parents? and what exactly did they do (or not do) to cause it?

Neve: I find it interesting that you chose to focus on moves that weaken and disable your opponents, when you're species is known for its raw physical power. was this simply because of you being small for your race, and less physically apt, or is there a deeper reason?

Sherilyn: How do you use your electrical powers without the conduction making your jewelry heat up and burn you?

Eddie: You're known as a peacemaker in the school- However, does anyone manage to actually raise your hackles?

Rylai: A bloodstained Peace emblem? That's just confusing. What point are you trying to make, or do you just think it looks cool?

Tessa: What's with the Red Bandannas?

Nicole: I've been training to be a fighter since I was old enough to stand up. My father started with nothing and fought his way to what he has now. I'm not about to piss it away, going out blowing his money in clubs and being a disgrace like you see so many "rich girls" do. I go out there and train my ass off because I want him and everyone else to know that I deserve what I have, and to that end I'm going to do everything in my power to be the very best at whatever I do. A lot of people don't like me for it, but screw them. I'm not planning on being a fighter all my life, I'm taking some law-oriented classes at the academy and I'm on the debate team. When my arena career is done I'm planning on going into law.

Tenebra: My old name was given to me by a couple of drunken wastes of life that gave me nothing but pain and misery, I'll be damned if I keep it. I picked a name that means, "Bringer of Darkness" in some ancient language. I though it appropriate.

Mitzi: We don't do as much together as we used to. We used to train together a lot, and still do, but somehow it's not the same. I go over to her house a lot to go swimming, she has a huge pool. We used to play with Legos and build stuff for hours then wreck it all pretending we were giant monsters smashing the city. I still keep the Legos in my closet, I don't want to get rid of them, 'cause... I dunno. I hope I'll use them again.

Methelza: They're useful. I'm not on this team to socialize, I'm here because they win. And you don't get anywhere in life by associating with losers.

Dominic: Napalm Orgy. We're getting t-shirts printed up, you want one?

Skylar: Well at least you didn't ask to see how soft it was for yourself, people ALWAYS pull that line. My talons and beak are really hard and really strong, I can cut through stone with them easy. Well the talons, I haven't tried chewing through rocks or anything. The rest is kind of soft, but you have to be pretty strong and press pretty hard to notice. Most people don't.

Zachary: It was the Sinnoh Motor company. They had a line of minivans with a defect that could cause the brakes to fail but decided the risk of that happening was too low to justify the cost of doing a recall so they covered it all up. Bastards. The only reason my grandpa won the case is because someone at the company blew the whistle on them, They went under soon after but grandpa's lawyer was smart and got the money up front rather than installments. I'd trade it all though, to have them never have bought the damn van in the first place.

Neve Eh I've always been small, and grew up in a large family, so tryin' ta match "raw physical power" against th' rest 'a my brothers an' sisters an' cousins was never gonna work, I had ta learn somethin' a little more subtle. Not that I can't get physical in there now, but old habits ya know? An' it catches a lot of people off guard.

Sherilyn: Ze jewelry ees made of non-conductive materials for exactly zat reason. Oui, I admit, it's fake. I am so shamed, but I am not on fire so... fair trade.

Eddie: Oh yeah, you can only push a Don' so far ya know? There's been a couple guys I've tried to reason with but the only language they speak is violence. So I've just had to argue very convincingly in a language that they understand.

Rylai: Because peace is never clean and full of sunshine. Peace is paid for with blood, and I want people to remember dat.

Tessa: I dunno, they look cool? I tie all sorts of stuff to that chair, today it was red bandannas, tomorrow it might be balloons. Well probably not balloons, that would be kind of fruity. There used to be a "How's my driving? Call 1-800-PISSOFF" bumper sticker on the back but the administration made me get rid of it.

Nicole: Honestly, I'm impressed, most people don't have the foresight to think that far ahead, though one question, what made you interested in law?

Tenebra: Fair enough- I do like the sound of it, anyhow. Though on another note, what are your hopes and plans for the future, if any?

Mitzi: I sympathize... but on a related note, have you been making another other friends at the PCA? If so who, and what made you decide to become friends with him:

Methelza: Interesting. Where *do* you go to socialize, then?

Dominic: Hell yeah! That sounds awesome! :)

Skylar: I wouldn't even think of it unless invited- though on a related note, what is your social life like? Any romance there, or is it just a series of wacky-fun flings?

Zachary: My sympathy to you, there. I hope I'm not being insensitive to jump to another related topic, but what exactly are your plans with said funds once you get access to them?

Neve: Heh! Any amusing stories on how you've used your powers and wits to befuddle people, then?

Eddie: Any particular conflicts that bear mentioning, or are they just generic idiocracy?

Rylai: Some say your aggressive and arguably rude attitude may overwhelm your message, have you considered adopting a less confrontational method of argument to perhaps make your message more palatable and draw more potential allies? More flygons with honey, and all that.

Tessa: Ah, I see, just outlets of personal expression? Cool- Though I heard they were working on techniques to assist you in walking again, have you considered using your own natural abilities to help? Since nerve signals are nothing more than electricity, wouldn't it be possible to artificially generate your own messages with your electrical abilities, and thus use your own lower body like a puppet? Or is the amount of control needed for that simply out of reasonable reach?

(Woops somehow I completely missed this response...)

Nicole: Well it pays well and there's always a demand. But it's kind of like battling, only on a mental level. On a personality level too I suppose. And besides, I'm good at it.

Tenebra: I don't really know. I'm just not used to making long-term plans.

Mitzi: Yeah I make friends with a lot of people. I like that Michi kid, he's funny and helps me with my homework sometimes. And he makes really good ice cream!

Methelza: My dorm room. I don't really like people so it suits me fine if they don't like me.

Skylar: Nah I'm fine with short-term flings. I'm just not interested in anything more than that right now, long-term relationships come with too many rules and obligations, I'm not real eager to go back to those now that I'm free of them.

Zachary: I dunno, probably buy a house, a car, that sort of stuff. Then travel maybe. I haven't really thought too much about it.

Neve: Oh you can get people ta do all sortsa stupid things just by gettin' them mad. Usually I just figure out how they want to fight then do everything I can to not let it happen. Like if they like gettin'up close and personal I just avoid 'em and play keep away, the ones that like ta attack at range I find ways ta blind 'em or mess wit' their attacks. They always get mad, and once ya start laughin' at 'em for bein' mad, they start doin' all sorts of stupid things.

Eddia: I can't think of too many that really stick in my mind. The ones that just don't get the message are the ones that really irritate me, you smack 'em down, try to reason with 'em, and the next day they're back doin' the same old stuff. Wash, rinse, repeat. It gets old.

Rylai: The truth hurts and th' truth ain't pretty. I'm not gonna paint a happy face an' a rainbow on an ugly problem. An' I ain't interested in people who only care about a problem if you pretty it up. Just a buncha posers jumpin' on the bandwagon 'cause it's the trendy thing to do. Dedicated soldiers in th' fight against The 'Mon don't need a sugar coatin'.

Tessa: Sure, I guess. Actually that's a large part of what they're trying to do. I can already sort of do that with my tail, I've trained myself to keep it up and out of the way by keeping the muscles contracted with direct electrical stimulation. But all I can really do is hold it there. It might be possible to work my legs by "remote control" but right now it would be like trying to thread a needle with a pair of oven mitts on.

-an aracanine wearing heavy clothing that covers up most of his body, with a hat covering his head, the suit some how keeping his larger tufts of hair hidden- I have a question for Methelza....a...hypothetical question. Say you where a male fire type with an adopted brother, a...oh lets say ghost/electric...and he ended up taking pictures of you, that you thought where for a medical magazine...then one day you find out that he was selling the pictures to Battle scared Bishy Magazine . How would you go about beating him senseless without "killing" him or causing permanent damage?

Methelza: That was a lot of "ifs", I think I'm lost...

....OK, short version then. How would one go about hurting a ghost type, or in this case, ghost electric, without killing them or causing perminet damage, but still making sure to hurt them?

Methelza: Oh you can hurt ghost types. They feel pain just like anyone else. You go after their psyche, their spirit. Crush that and it makes their whole eternal existence one of misery. I guess if you don't want it permanent you could spring for some therapy down the line. Whatever.

Hm....thats a good idea. I could always smash that com...er...thank you for taking time to answer my question. Now before I go...one more. Is Miss Mitzi currently dating anyone?

Nope.

I see. Well thank you for your time. -pulls out a blue crowbar with a rubber handle- Now if you will excuse me, I have to go and smash a certain Rotom's computer...if you have any questions for me, please contact my agent....-uses Extreme speed and seemingly disappears-

Nicole - It seems that a LOT of students are gunning to defeat you and your team, especially since you're graduating this year. Does it bug you that everyone sees you and your team as school tyrants, essentially? I'm very curious though, what is your team's track record? Ya know, wins/losses/draws? And be honest, I'm curious.

Tenebra - What are your thoughts on Albert? He seems to be rather fond of you! You're a lucky girl, getting a guy that nice.

Mitzi - I know Nicole's your friend and all, but you do she has one heck of a mean streak in her. Doesn't her attitude ever bother you?

Methezla - Have you ever wondered how you're going to get a man, what with your love of scaring the crap outta people?

Skylar- Must be tough keeping yourself from getting rusty. Do you ever have problems keeping yourself all shiny and clean? And how do you sleep? Don't you ever worry about ripping your bed up?

Nicole: No it doesn't bug me, quite the opposite. I was consistently in the top five of the school's solo battler rankings for two years, my team is now the top of the team rankings. I've never backed down to anyone and still all I hear is, "She only has all that because she's rich and pretty," and "She can't be that good, she's just a meowth". Then this "sister" of mine comes along, squashes her first two or three opponents, and that's all anyone talks about? The hell with that. I'm tired of trying to get respect, I'll settle for fear. It's a good enough tool to separate the weak from the worthy.

Tenebra: He's up to something, I don't trust anyone who smiles that much and wears a tie.

Mitzi: ...yeah, it bothers me. I wish she would remember what it was like to be happy. She used to be a lot of fun, but now... she's so serious all the time. I know she's done bad things but she's still my friend. And she's not going to get better if I'm not there when she needs me.

Methelza: What the hell do I need a man for? I know a lot of ghost types take a perverted glee in meddling in mortal concepts of love and affection but I don't need any of it.

Skylar: Ok, what's the deal? I DON'T RUST! I mean my skin can get kind of scuffed up, especially after a battle, but a little oil and some buffing and it's just fine. Maybe some polish, you know, if I'm going out on a date or something, but I don't usually bother with girly stuff like that. And I sleep naked. Oh you mean the bed... it's actually kind of like a kiddie pool filled with rubber cables and tubing so it makes kind of a nest - it's a bird thing. The cables don't cut easily and it's not a big deal if they do. I sleep on my stomach, otherwise my wings get all cramped up.

Nicole - Who would you say is the most serious competitor you've faced (besides Charmanda, if it's her)?

Tessa - Do you often beat your little brother at Guitar Hero, by any chance?

Dominic - What's your favorite kind of rock (music, that is)?

Sherilyn - Given your history before going independent, and your current skills, do you often find yourself bothered by potential opponents trying to prove themselves by competing against you? Or males trying to hit on you?

Mitzi - What's your favorite ice cream flavor?

Skylar - What was the coolest, raddest, most memorable party you've ever been to?

bonus question!

Sparky - Just how difficult is it to maintain the Academy grounds and arenas, considering how destructive some fights can be? How does one maintain a level head with that sort of work?

Nicole: Please, she's nothing. Little brat gets all pissy because she sees her wanna-be boyfriend talking with another girl? She wont last long here with that attitude. I'd have to say it's a toss-up between Sherilyn Voltaire and Nubia, for vastly different reasons. There have been some others that have given me some good battles, but those two have always been consistent.

Tessa: Nah, I can't touch him. He's actually really good, and I mean the real thing, not the game. I liked his old style better though, this noise factory band he's in now has it's charms but it's just not him, you know?

Dominic: Allright don't tell the other guys in the band 'cause they won't forgive me for sayin' it, but I actually like stuff like Starly Ray Vaughn, I learned to play from listening to his CDs non-stop. I mean I like turnin' it up a notch sure, for the kind of music that makes you want to rip someone's head off and scream. But it's not my favorite.

Sherilyn: Not at all, I won't turn anyone away. Unless zey are very rude in ze way that zey ask. It ees a nuisance being... as you say... "hit on" but eet comes with ze territory. I try to ignore eet, I'm just not interested in a... relationship right now.

Mitzi:{/i] What did I say earlier? Oh yeah, pink!

[i]Skylar: The one I can't remember, duh...

Sparky: Huh? Whut? A question? Fer me? Oh, okay! Maintainin' th' gruonds? Welp it's a full-time job. Always somethin' getting broke, and that's just people sittin' on things, settin' things on fire with their keisters, er fryin' the lights durin' a sneezin' fit. An' never mind th' scuffles! But it's aight, I like fixin' things and gettin' mah hands dirty, so I don't mind the messes you youngins cause. It's all parta th'... learnin' experience!

To Neve-Have you ever insulted someone so badly that they started crying?

To Tenebra-How good are you at reacting to the unexpected?

Neve: Oh yeah, once or twice I even felt bad about it. But most of th' time they deserved it.

Tenebra: I grew up in alleys and warehouses surrounded by people who wanted to beat the hell out of me or worse. I learned to expect everything and anything from anybody. That whole line about, "You underestimate me" is a load of crap. I expect that anybody is capable of anything and act accordingly. Holding back and showing mercy gets you killed where I'm from.

To Neve--When Skylar goes partying, I guess you're her wing-mon (no pun intended). What do you usually do while she's partying and flirting?

To Tenebra--Oh good. I just wanted to see if you'd be prepared for this: *Rene on a sugar rush glomps Tenebra*

Rene: Hiiiiieee!

Neve: Are you kiddin'? I leave her to her own devices, I'm not about to pup-sit her, if I wanted that I would have stayed at home. She's a big girl an' for all her crazy actin' she knows what she's doin'. An' she doesn't go too crazy.

Tenebra: Alright I expect almost anything. But never do that again. That also gets you killed where I'm from.

To Neve: What's the craziest you've seen her do?

Rene *still high on sugar*: Awww, but you're cute and huggable. *Hugs*

Neve: What, today? Ok, last year durin' spring break some of us took a road trip to Saffron Beach for th' day, my uncle let me borrow his car. About halfway there someone asked Skylar that very same question, what was the wildest thing she's ever done. So shiny-ass says, "This!" an' strips naked, right in the car, then climbs onto the roof, leans forward, and spreads her wings out, with th' car still movin'. She wanted me ta floor it an' see if we'd take off but I was like no way, get your ass back in the car! I might've but my uncle's car is a hunk of junk and will barely go 80. So instead I hit the brakes an' she went flyin', then I did a real quick u-turn and floored it an' made her chase us for like, a mile.

Tenebra: No seriously, I'm gonna go now because he's going to wet himself when he stops hallucinating and I don't wanna be here for that.

To Neve: Wow. You're evil. That's so hawt! How'd you join the Krimsons?

To Tenebra: Point taken. Rene, go fetch! *Throws*

Rene: Yay! *Leaves*

He's hopeless on sugar. You think you're THAT scary Tenebra?

Neve: Hey, all that tormentin' she does? Yeah, I get her back. Joinin' the team wasn't really my idea. I first came here like two days before classes started last year, my uncle almos' literally drug me outta my house, threw me inna car with a bag, and drove me here. I was major pissed at first, didn't want nothin' to do wit' nobody. The administration forced me ta join a team, I wasn't no happier about that at first either. They even stuck me in a room wit' some shiny-assed spaz. But I calmed down I guess. They're good guys. Zach is a goofball an' he's been through a lot, but he's a good guy. Even tho' more than once I caught his tail liftin' my skirt up. Dom's a good leader when he wants to be, an' Skylar, well, she was the first one here who made me smile. An' mierda can she fight! I won't lie, I don't ever wanna see her really get mad at someone.

Tenebra: It's not a matter of what I think, or how I act. Some people spit fire, some people throw lightning, I scare people. There's a lot about me that's just... dark. And bad. And I don't want to talk about it.

To Neve: How do you handle Zach's tail when that happens? What's your family been like since you left?

To Tenebra: Do you like listening to music or reading or doing anything that doesn't involve making people bleed?

Neve: I usually smack it really hard. Or Zach, if I think he's in on it. It's been pretty much th' same back home, it's not like everythin' revolved around me I guess. I see 'em on holidays and all but that's about it I guess. I been pretty occupied wit' school an' all.

Tenebra: I work in the garage a lot. Dad has a bunch of old broken down cars that he always said he was gonna fix up someday but he never had time, so now I get to them. I listen to music when I'm in there, whatever I find that's loud. Danzig's good.

To Skylar: Why are you such an exhibitionist?

To Neve: Is there anything about yourself that you want to fix?

To Tenebra: Have you ever had encounters with some of the other top fighters in the school, like Nubia or Sherilyn?

Skylar: Oh I'm not that bad!
Neve: *cough* bllsht *cough*
Skylar Seriously, I don't do it THAT often. Well ok maybe. But hey, if ya got it, flaunt it, right? I dunno, I went to military prep schools up until I started going to the PCA, and you got chewed out if so much as a button was outta place there. So maybe it's my act of rebellion against all that. I mean not the dress code, but the whole structure thing. And I guess I figure flashing my tits is a good way to meet guys.
Neve: So is walkin' up to 'em and sayin', "Hi, what's up?"
Skylar: Ok fine, if a friend is feeling down and all I have to do to cheer him up is flash my high beams, where's the harm in it?
Neve: Well I guess that's true...
Skylar: Sure is. Hey everyone, cheer up! (pulls Neve's top down)
Neve: AAAHHH!!!!! Besa mi culo, puto! Yo mataria tu!

Neve: Dammit I am seriously gonna drag her to the junkyard and make cans outta her ass! Hmph. Fix? Yeah, I wish I wasn't so damn short.

Tenebra: Yes. I won.

Rene: *Covers his own eyes* I did not just see that...

Oh stop whining. And wipe your chin. You're drooling.

To Neve: What was the best put down you ever gave? And recieved?

(I'm trying to think of a story to write with Neve but so far can't think of a situation for her. Any ideas?)

To Tenebra: What would you do if--hypothetically--in some unforseen and TOTALLY improbable scenario where you actually lost a match...how'd you handle it?

Neve: Ya know Rene, for a guy who wishes he had a pair, you sure are squeamish around 'em. The best? Oh I dunno. The worst was to some hijo de tu puta madre from my last school who ran around on my little sister, hurt her so bad, then had the cajones to come by our house demandin' his stuff that he left over there. I can't really repeat what I said to him, I'm pretty sure I'd go straight to hell just for sayin' it again.

(You know she is kind of hard to come up with stuff for, I'll give it some thought though.)

Tenebra: (thinks) You know, honestly, I'd probably take a vacation. Not that I'm going to let that happen. Ever. But hypothetically.

Rene: Well it's one thing to want them, another to see someone elses! Especially when she was...you get the idea.

To Neve-Have you ever torn or ripped something with your claws? Or someone by accident?

To Tenebra-Have you ever missed a match on account of illness?

To Mitzi-What's the saddest you've ever been?

Neve: All th' freakin' time. Sam, I feel yo' pain chica, tha's why I wear tight-fittin' skimpy clothes so much, they're a lot harder to catch on a claw and tear up. Well that an' I look hot in 'em. I got a black leather miniskirt an' halter top in my closet that I bought on-line. They're too big an' I can't return them, but if you want 'em I think we can make it work! Not you Rene, Sam...

Tenebra: I don't think I've been sick at all since I was a pup.

Mitzi: When my grandpa died. He was so much fun, he used to play with me and Jerry. Then he got real sick and went to the hospital. I saw him a couple times there but he didn't get better and died. I was real young at the time but I still remember it, and him.

To Neve - No question [that she looks hot in them, that is]

Rene: Awwww....

Sam: Score!

ANYway, Neve is there anyone in the school who genuinely intimidates YOU?

To Tenebra - You sound like you're real close to Mr. Blackclaw, but what about the Mrs. Blackclaw? What's your relationship with her?

To Mitzi -Aww, sorry to hear that pup. How about we switch it around as ask what your happiest day was? Assuming you can pick just one.

Neve: Yeah there's a few. I mean I know my limitations, and I might push 'em, but there are some people at th' school that I just don't wanna mess with. I'm not namin' names though, don't want anyone to get a big head.

Tenebra: *shrugs* She's nice, I mean she's there for me I guess. But she's not real close. That's just the way she is.

Mitzi: ... I don't think I can pick one, I'm always changing it.
,

To Neve-What would your ideal date be like?

To Skylar-Have you ever gone too far at a party?

To Tenebra-Is there anything physical that you own that means a great deal to you?

To Mitzi-Understandable. Do you like stuffed animals?

Neve: Ah geez... Someplace nice to eat, go somewhere dancing maybe. Or maybe go directly to someplace dark and start makin' out, depends on what I'm in th' mood for. I'm kinda in the mood for that last one honestly...
Skylar: ...yeah, over the summer a friend of mine had his birthday party, and it was supposed to be just a few people coming over, but naturally that turned into a few dozen. Late in the evening I told him I had a birthday present for him, went over to where he was sitting on the couch, and started in on a strip tease and lap dance. Nothing real serious, but he was kind of uncomfortable. But everyone else was cheering me on and I kind of pinned him down and kept it up. I felt really bad afterwards. I apologized and we're cool now but I still feel bad about it. I don't plan on getting that out of control again.

Tenebra: I don't get attached to material things. They don't last.

Mitzi: Oh yeah! You know those arcane claw machines? I'm really good at those, I have a ton of stuffed animals and other junk from them all over my room.

To Neve-Kinda 'friendly' aren't you? ;) How do you handle having Rene changing in the girl's locker room? What did you do the first time you saw him/he saw you?

To Skylar-Yeesh.
Sam: Heh. I should invite you over to Rene's next birthday.

To Tenebra-What was the worst injury you ever sustained in the ring?

To Mitzi-What was the most unexpected thing you've ever encountered?

Neve: I wasn't talkin' to you, vato! I was just sayin'. I have a big family, an' I've been walked in on before so it wasn't that big 'a deal. At first I was freaked out, but then I thought, ya know, I think half the girls in here are lesbians. So screw it, what's the point? They might as well just make one big co-ed shower room.
Skylar: OK!

Tenebra: I've had a lot, most of them when I was a lot younger. I think the worst when I was maybe nine or ten, a scizor cut me to pieces. Some of the cuts were so deep I still have them on my back, and that's after an evolution. I nearly bled to death, I smashed a store window and stole the curtain to make the best bandages I could. I didn't go to a hospital because I was afraid they would take me back to my parents. That night I slept in the back of an abandoned car in a puddle of my own blood. And all these kids who spent their childhood with birthday parties and ponyta rides having their little push fights in the junior leagues wonder why I'm so "messed up".

Mitzi: What, today?

To Neve-That's a very...enlightened attitude to have. Rene thinks you have a cute butt, by the by.

To Skylar- Rene: #O_O# Um...Skylar, I'm not sure that's really neccessary...
Sam: Oh hush you.

Anyway Sky' I'd like to ask just how you manage to walk through the halls without banging your wings on everyone or knocking everyone out with them.

To Tenebra-I'm so sorry. if Rene were still here, he'd give you a big hug...then run.

To Mitzi-What's your favorite cheer to do?

Skylar: Actually they fold up pretty compact so they don't get in the way nearly as much as you might think. I wait until I'm outside with plenty of space before I'll stretch them out. That's the nice thing about being a steel type, you don't cramp up nearly so bad as the squishy folks.

Mitzi: Oh I have a bunch. Suni and I do one where we bounce around then make a big fireball in the sky that spells something out, like "Fighting Primapes" or something. Only sometimes I spell it wrong and she gets mad.

To Skylar/Mitzi/Neve/and Tenebra-What's your favorite thing about the PCA?

Skylar: The freedom. Just being able to talk to people without having to salute first and bark out "sir" all the time. I can be myself finally, soon as I figure out what that is...
Mitzi: Um... that's where all my friends go. And I like battling, just like my mom and my brother. And cheerleading, that's fun. I think I like battles more, I have to think about those a lot less.
Neve: You know I'm still tryin' ta figure that out.
Tenebra: I'm sure everyone figures it's beating the hell out of people but it's the opposite. It's nice not having to spend all day looking over your shoulder. Not that I don't do it anyway. I really don't enjoy turning people inside out but frankly it's the only thing I'm good at.

To Mitzi-Is there anyone here at the PCA that you WANT to be friends with that you aren't yet?

To Neve-You ever get any crap because of they way you sound or act? Being a hot Latina and all?

To Dominic-Why hang around with that 'assclown' Zap? I know you're trying not to be seen as 'cute' but really, dude, you could do better.

To Tenebra-So I guess knitting is out of the question?

Mitzi: Um I wouldn't know, I don't know everyone there, so how would I know if I want to be friends with them if I don't know them?

Neve: All th' time. People don' like th' attitude, they want me to be all smiles an' giggles I guess. But smiles an' giggles isn't who I am, an' I'm not gonna pretend ta be somethin' else so people will like me. That's just estupido, if I do that, they don' like me at all, they just like what they want me ta be. I am who I am, take it or leave it or piss off.

Dominic: Because chicks love "bad boys". People get down on Zap because he is one and knows it, but he gets all kinda girls so he must be doin' somethin' right. You know all those singers and musicians who everyone says is "a real nice guy"? You know who you see at their concerts? Moms and gay guys.

Tenebra: ...

To Mitzi-Hmmm. Have you met a short vulpix named Rene by chance?

To Neve--

Rene: ...*Very impressed by that position* I want you to be the mother of my children.

Oh brother. Excuse the fox. He's a dope. Anyway Neve I'm running low on questions for you so I guess I'll wrap it up by asking if there's anything YOU wanted to say or any questions you WANTED someone to ask.

To Dominic-Bad boy musicians also tend to end up dead by their Thirties. Just something to consider. How'd you end up getting to know your fellow Krimsons?

To Tenebra-Question about the outfit. Very hot looking, no question, but who came up with it? Is that how you would dress if given the choice?

Mitzi: Oh yeah he has these big floofy tails and sometimes he catches one in a door or locker or something and makes a really funny sound! He's silly though, he likes to wear bras but doesn't have boobs, I don't get it.

Neve: (Brain pops)

Dominic: Nah just the dumb ones, the rest just end up on VH1 when they get old.

Tenebra: I get them from a biker supply and clothing store in town. I like black. And what are you talking about? That is how I dress.

To Mitzi-Rene's...special. He likes girls a lot. They even let him in their locker room to change, you know?

To Neve-Neve? *Waves hand in front of her face* You okay there? Don't make me call Skylar.

To Dominic-I think the biggest problem with your whole 'cute' image is the fluffyness of your tail and the cheeks. You may want to consider something about that. Is your family concerned about your change in appearance?

To Tenebra-Oh. I thought that was just like your uniform or something. It looks very attractive.

Dominic: I think they just assume I'm takin' after Tess. Sometimes she steals some of my band and concert t-shirts, I'm sure that doesn't help matters.
Tessa: What are you talking about? You steal mine!
Dominic: What? No way! I mean once or twice they got mixed up in the wash and I grabbed a shirt out of the laundry basket and put it on without lookin' at it first cause I was runnin' late but it wasn't on purpose!
Tessa: (He lies.)

To Nicole: What will you do if Team Red manages to pull off the upset win in your match?

To Tenebra: Why did you try to warn off Team Red before your match?

To Skylar: What is your current Ranking in the school?

Second Nicole question: If your so proud about never backing down from anyone no matter the odds why are you so down on Team Red for doing the same thing?

Nicole: You're joking, right? I was fully prepared to send one of my team in there to face their entire team.

Tenebra: They aren't ready for this, plain and simple.

Skylar: You know I'm really not sure, I haven't checked in a while. Last I checked I was top five in the sophomore class but that was a few months ago. I haven't really been paying attention.

Nicole: Because it's a matter of respect. You don't just waltz in here thinking you're somehow entitled to face the best. You have to prove something, you have to pay your dues first. When I was a freshman I earned battles against the best opponents. What have they done? Who have they beaten? They didn't earn their match, they got it when one of their team members threw a jealous temper tantrum over a guy. That's just insulting. And that's why I'm down on them.

Domenec: Why does it tic you off so much when people say you're adorable?

Dominic: Why? Because "adorable" gets girls to ruffle your hair. "Cute" gets them to give you a hug and say, "Awwwww....". Girls don't go for guys that are "adorable", not in that way, if you know what I mean. "Adorable" guys are the ones who have to sit and listen to girls go on about their love life with their "hot" boyfriend. That's why.

Aww, that must suck. So, what type of girls do you like?

Dominic: Fun, outgoing, adventurous, gotta be hot! With really big... sorry.

To Nicole: Why do you hang with Zap the guy seems to be as his bro said an 'assclown", I mean when I was a teen I didn't get along with my sibs but I don't think I would've cheered if I though one was gonna get the snot beat outta them.

Nicole: (Really? I would...) Zap is an "assclown". He's obnoxious and full of himself. But to be blunt, leading a team, planning battles, and dealing with other people who all have their own agendas can be very stressful. And sometimes a girl needs a little... electric-powered stress relief. Hey, you asked. And besides, he's useful in other ways.

To Tenebra: Will you be graduating this year and if so what are your plans? Also who would win in a fight between you and Nicole?

Tenebra: Yes. I don't really have any plans, I'm not used to making long-term plans. I don't really have any comment as to who would win, not something I think about.

To Zack. Has there been any time that you can recall it being awesome to have a fiesty second head?

To Dominic. Who's your biggest musical influences?

To Tessa. Any critcism on the matches between Team 16 and Team Turquoise?

To Mitzi. Poptarts with or without frosting?

Zachary: Well it's useful in battles of course, but when I'm just out walking around it's pretty annoying. It is nice being able to see what's behind you though, and sometimes girls will bend over or change shirts or something cause my back is turned and they aren't thinking about it, that's pretty sweet. Doesn't work on girafarig girls though, they know better.

Dominic: I'm kinda old school actually. I'd say Stevie Ray Vaughn, Randy Rhoades, Eddie Van Halen, Slash. And Hendrix of course, I have to say Hendrix. They make you sign a contract to say that when you buy your guitar. I keep trying' to get Feran, the lead singer, to let us do a cover of Voodoo Child but he's all, "No! That isn't metal!" I can play it though. Oh and Steve Vai, Steve Vai is awesome.

Tessa: Hm... Well Emily needs to stop the showboatin', that whole teleport around trick is fun sure, but there are pokemon out there with senses that can detect your destination. And a lotta them are ones you wouldn't expect that from. Sooner or later you're gonna reappear in a world of hurt. Sexton needs to work on his composure, and Romano needs to work on her focus. And I'm not going to comment on that whole Rene and Nicole thing. At least that's my opinion if I were a coach. As just a spectator, it was pretty cool!

Mitzi: Oh with! Frosting makes me bouncy!

To Zach-Why do you think your tail is such a perv?

Zachary: I dunno, I think some shrink once said that it acted on repressed desires and darker emotions that have been buried by the conscious only to express themselves in the subconscious. But then I got bored and changed the channel.

To Zach and Dominic-Have either of you tried hitting on Neve or Skylar?

Zach: No they scare me.

Dominic: Nah, I mean nothin' serious. Don't get me wrong, they're both hot as hell, but dating teammates... just seems like a bad idea to me.

Dominic: Do you ever get tired of your 'cuteness' and the fact some have mistaken you as a girl because of it?

Dominic: WHAT?!? Who the hell has... for a... AAGGHHH!!!
Tessa: That would be a \"yes\".

Tenebra: what's your take on fox type's like rene or antony?

Tenebra: They break easy.

Rene: I DO not! Tenebra if you weren't so scary I'd challenge you right here and now...besides I here someone calling me. Bye!

To Nicole-What's your greatest sucess been to date?

Nicole: Well I won the junior league championship twice. When I was a sophomore I beat the school's top-rated solo battler during final exams. He was a senior. Blaziken. But I can't for the life of me remember his name. Must not have been important. I was picked for the academy intramural team last year. No wait... intermural. I always get those mixed up. When we went up against the Johto Battle Academy their team leader, some cocky hariyama, picked me as his opponent. He was laughing about what an easy match he was going to have. Wasn't laughing too much after I choked him out. Really though it's hard to pick just one.

To Nicole-Since you dislike Tenebra so much, is there any 'dirt' you'd like to share about her?

Nicole: What, besides the fact that she's a vicious psycho who has no business being at this school? And that it's only a matter of time before she snaps? She's hurt people real bad in the past. I mean real bad. Like crippled for life kind of bad. She says she didn't have a choice, that it was her or them, and tells all these horror stories, but I don't buy it. All these people who think there's something good buried deep in her don't know her like I do. The only thing buried deep inside of her is somebody's death sentence waiting to happen.

To Nicole-So you poke and you prodd at her and bring her CLOSER to said breaking point? If she does snap WHO do you think is going to be at the top of her list, Nicole?

Nicole: There's a reason I keep my distance and never turn my back on her.

To Nicole-Girl do you know how many people say the same things about you? About what you've become lately? Who insist that there's nothing good left in you? Only to have Mitzi DEFEND you against everyone who calls you a bitch and worse?

Nicole: These are the same people who make excuses every time I beat them. The same people who insist that everything I've fought and sacrificed for I only got because I'm rich and beautiful. The same people who say that I'm nothing without Tenebra to "hide" behind. The same people who say, "How good can she be? She's just a meowth." What I've become is tired of the disrespect, tired of people laughing behind my back, and tired of people who think they can spit in my face and walk away without getting theirs clawed off. If they don't like this "attitude", they've only brought it on themselves.

To Nicole-I'm not arguing THAT aspect. I know you're talented. But don't you think that Tenebra deserves at LEAST some of the respect or consideration that you righftully want for yourself? She hasn't knocked your head off for treating her so poorly because she (clearly) cares about your dad. Now that MUST prove that she's trying to change, isn't it?

Nicole: It proves that she's afraid of getting thrown back where she belongs. She'll put on a nice act for him but she doesn't fool me. I'm not saying she isn't a good fighter. But I am saying that she has no right to come in here out of the blue and take everything that I've worked for away from me. And I wish she'd never come around in the first place.

To Nicole-Jealous much?

To Mitzi-What do you think of how Nicole and Tenebra behave towards each other?

Mitzi: I wish they wouldn't fight. I love my brother and miss seeing him, they can see each other every day and won't even talk to each other. And it's all over nothing. It makes me mad in a way but I shouldn't say that.

To Mitzi-Maybe you should. I think they need to hear it. Anyway Mitz whose the most fun mon at school for you to hug?

Mitzi: That big Boris guy. He always squirms and makes funny noises. I think I heard him squeak once.

To Mitzi-What do you think of that Karen girl?

Mitzi: She frowns too much. Maybe she just needs some ice cream.

To Mitzi-Did you know Rene was in that locker room with you when you hugged Karen?

Mitzi: Um... yeah... Someone should tell him he's in the girls' locker room, I think he's lost. I didn't say anything 'cause I didn't want to give him away 'cause this one time they caught a guy hiding in one of the lockers and when they found him they tossed him in the shower, turned on all the water, and then a couple of electric type girls made him dance.

To Mitzi-Um...didn't you notice that he was in girl's underwear? Anything that might give you the suggestion that Rene MIGHT NOT be a typical guy?

Mitzi: I noticed... I just didn't know that I was supposed to... But I know guys with two heads, and guys with flaming butts, and guys who get mad at their tail and try to choke it, and guys who wrap toilet paper around themselves and think that girls are ugly and creepy looking when they're alive. So I really don't know what a typical guy is.

To Mitzi--That's...very true. And weird. But the other girls don't mind Rene changing with them. Provided he stops bugging them about where they got their underwear from.

You ever have a crush on anyone?

Mitzi: Oh all the time, I just don't remember who they were...

antony-i take offense to that....i do not break easy...i can take you..but i'll bide cause you are a dark creture and i do not dable in darkness unless neccairy.

To both teams: Ever had an embrassment that turned your face red?

Jet: Have you ever wanted to bet against one of your own?

Krimson: Any relationships to hope for? (As in do you guys got any relationships to desire?)

Mitzi: Um.. a few times. This one time while doing cheerleading I accidentally set one of my pom-poms on fire when it got too close to Suni's butt. She told me to just get rid of it so I threw it away and it landed on the paper cups they had for the Gatorade and set them on fire. So I ran over to dump the Gatorade on it to put it out only I tripped and dumped it all over myself. And that was just today! I... don't really remember the others.
Dominic: This one time I was talkin' with Zach and he was talking about how my sister was hot and had really nice tits. I was like, dude, she's my sister! And he says, "Dude, she's not MY sister!" and we were arguing. Then right at the point where I finally admit, which I only did to shut him up, that yes, Tessa has nice tits, that's when I realize that both she and Coach Marceau were standing right behind me. Oh that was bad.
Skylar: Someone once asked if I could open a keg with my tail. And of course I was gonna try it. But it got stuck. They were just about to call the fire department or something when someone finally pulled it out, but yeah that was still pretty bad.

Zachary: There's this girafarig girl named Sera that I kinda like, I don't think she knows I exist though.
Skylar: I don't really have much interest in a long-term relationship. The short ones are enough fun.
Neve: A couple that'll never happen. All the good guys at this school are taken or gay. Usually both.
Dominic: Why? You know someone?

To the all question: *Whences* OUCH... that had to hurt

To Dominic: Been trying to think of what dating service goes on at the school since you might get lucky.

These are a lot of questions, and if you don't feel like answering them all in one post, you can just answer the first one for each character, and then I'll ask the next one, and it'll go on from there until all the questions for all the characters have been answered.

All: Have you ever met anyone with a prosthetic limb? (We're talking something like FMA automail here. Hopefully that exists in this world.)

Nicole: What is your diet like? Do you try to be consistent in one area, such as health? From what I've heard so far, you don't seem like one of those typical anorexic rich girls who want to get on the cover of every fashion magazine in existence, so you probably wouldn't do anything in the line of extreme dieting, right?
Also, what was it like training with some of the best martial arts masters in the world? Were they hard on you?
Do you know any ninjutsu? Would you ever dress like a ninja? Would you ever use ninja weapons, like shuriken and kunai knives?

Tenebra: Would you consider yourself a goth?
While you were in the underground fighting circuits, did you ever maim anyone? Did you try to keep their severed limb as a trophy? Ignacious tried to do that a few times.

Mitzi: How do you feel about ponytails? You'd look hot if you styled your hair in a ponytail.
Would you say that you want to be popular?
Even though you're a fire type, do you like to swim?
What's your favorite carnival ride? Do you enjoy throwing up after getting off the more intense ones?
Which elemental type are you attracted to the most?
If you had one wish, what would it be for?
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?!?!

Methelza: What do the other ghosts at the school think of you?
Do any of them ever pick on you because of your family's reputation?
What do you think of some of the more prominent ghosts in attendance, such as Hikori? Does her crush on a mortal disgust you? Do you put her down because of it?

Dominic: In order to look less cute, would you ever use a lot of water or some extreme gel to reduce your tail in size, even if it meant reducing your electric power? Also, would you use cover-up on your electric cheek sacs?
Also, I once heard on a reality show that people who started with alternative can't play metal, but people who started with metal can play both. Which one did you start with?

Skylar: I know these two hot skarmory twins, named Tarsilver and Targold. Would you consider going out with one of them, or getting into bed with one of them, or just doing a lap dance for one of them?
Also, since you're a hard steel type, aren't you afraid you'll injure non-steel types in bed?

Zachary: Wow, you can see through the eyes of your second head. That's cool! What's the worst thing your tail has ever said to you? To someone else? If you were knocked unconscious, would your second head have enough motor skills to be able to control your body to some extent and get you out of there if it were a bad situation? Does your head sleep at the same time you do? Would you ever consider cutting it off?

Neve: On average, how many "yo' mama" insults do you dull out each day?
What happens when you try to insult Skylar?
Has Skylar ever tried to drag you to a party? If so, did you manage to resist her and how did you resist her? Was she persistent?

Sherilyn: Since your species stores electricity in its hair, does the type of conditioner you use affect how well your attacks work? How careful do you have to be about how you maintain your hair and what do you do in order to maintain it?
In your French (I'm assuming from your accent) ancestry, were any of your ancestors involved in the French revolution, or any of the wars with Britain?
Do you have any relatives in politics, who fight with words instead of physical action?

Eddie: Since you're into video games so much, have you ever played, IHMO, the best simulation game ever, THE SIMS 2?
If you use rollout, how good are you at controlling where you go?
Do you have a crush on anyone in particular?
In a violent argument that you had to break up, being the peacekeeper and all, has anyone tried to use a weapon on you that wasn't part of their body?

Rylai: What are the most extreme measures you've ever gone to in order to get your messages out?
Have you ever done a hunger strike?
Have your protests ever aroused the attention of law enforcement officers? Did you escape them? If not, what's the worst punishment THE MAN has ever given you?

Tessa: How hard did becoming paraplegic hit you? How long were you in a depression?
What is the wildest thing you've ever done to your wheelchair, in terms of decorating it?
Have you ever crashed it?
Do you have one of those awesome recumbent racing wheelchairs...you know, the ones that are long with the legs in a straight position?
Do you participate in any wheelchair games, like basketball or racing?
Has your upper body strength increased greatly since you first got into a wheelchair?
Did you have to do those exercises I say in that one Brady Bunch movie...the ones were you have to lie down and they make you flip your dead legs all on your own over and over again?
Do you have a physical therapist? What's his/her name? Is he/she nice?

Since Rikmach's interesting questions to you were never answered, I'll ask them again:
Though I heard they were working on techniques to assist you in walking again, have you considered using your own natural abilities to help? Since nerve signals are nothing more than electricity, wouldn't it be possible to artificially generate your own messages with your electrical abilities, and thus use your own lower body like a puppet? Or is the amount of control needed for that simply out of reasonable reach?

Opps, left out a question.

Tenebra: What makes you angry? Would you get angry if you tripped on a banana peel that someone dropped into your path by accident, and they were still next to you, munching on another banana?

Skylar: I know they were working on prosthetics in the military, I heard my dad talking about it once, but they weren't having much luck. The problem they had was that it wouldn't interact with the powers and abilities of certain pokemon. They would have to custom design each one and decided that while it might be possible, the cost and time involved would be astronomical.

Nicole: I have no desire to be on the cover of any fashion magazine, never did. Most of what I eat is rice, fish, and fruit. I try to avoid processed, greasy, and unhealthy junk that a lot of people stuff themselves with. Of course I cheat every now and then, but I keep it to a minimum. My trainers have been strict and tough, but I would expect that of them. I wouldn't be what I am if they went easy on me. And are you talking about ninjutsu or taijutsu? I don't know any of that sneaking around, climbing up walls stuff, but I have studied the fighting techniques, especially the nerve strikes, chokes, and other quick and efficient means of taking someone down. You know historically ninja dressed just like anybody else, they only wear the black pajamas in the movies. And they sure as hell never wore orange jumpsuits. I'm familiar with the weapons but they're more of a ceremonial thing, why would I waste time with them when my own claws are stronger and sharper?

Tenebra: A goth? What, just because I wear black? No, I don't. I've hurt people before, badly. But I've never taken anyone's limb off, and wouldn't want to keep it even if I did.

Mitzi: I used to have my hair in a ponytail when I was little but my hair hasn't been that long in a while. It was just a pain to keep up with it. I want people to like me I guess but if you mean do I want to be one of those super popular people? No I'm not worried about that. I do like to swim, I go over to Nicole's to use her pool all the time. She says it's heated but the water always feels cold to me, she says it's cause I'm a fire type and that I'm a weirdo for wanting to get in the water. I like that thing that spins really fast and then the floor falls out and you stick to the wall. Sometimes I climb up so I'm standing on the wall and pretend I'm flying like Supermon. The guy running the ride always yells at me when I do. I don't like throwing up but I've never thrown up after being on a ride. I think fire is neat, you can see all sorts of things if you just sit and watch it. Most of the other types just sit there. Except lightning, it dances around and looks really cool too. If I had one wish... hmm... I would just wish that everyone could be happy, too many people go through life miserable for no reason and I wish they would stop doing that. My favorite color is BLUE!

Methelza: Some of them fear me, some of them look at me like I'm some sort of freak, some of them have an attitude. I don't really care what they think of me, none of them matter. They might say things behind my back but they don't pick on me to my face, none of them are that stupid. People who cross my family tend to disappear. I know of Hokori's family but I haven't talked to her personally. Some ghosts delight in meddling in mortal affairs, if that's her thing, whatever. It's none of my concern.

Dominic: No way. I'm not gonna go out of my way to look ridiculous. Honestly I don't really mind so much if some hot lookin' girl thinks I'm cute, I just mind when that's all she's willin' to see. If it's an icebreaker fine, but I'd like to hear "Hey, he's hot" every now and then you know? I actually started with neither, I started with the blues. I remember the first thing I heard that made me want to play was the theme to Resevoir Dogs. Then I went on to Stevie Ray Vaughn. Moving on to metal was just somethin' new but I'm good at that too.

Skylar: Ooh, are they hot? Cause ya know, guys aren't the only ones who dream about twins. A lot of people think I sleep around but I really don't. I mean I've been with guys, but I can count the number of guys I've gone all the way with on one hand. One of my[/i[ hands. I play around and flirt and mess around a little but that doesn't really count. I might do a lap dance though, if you get me in the right mood. Or it's their birthday or somethin'. And yeah that is an issue, I can fool around a little with the squishy types but when it comes to gettin' serious they're just... fragile.

[i]Zachary: Well I've talked to other girafarigs and apparently my tail is a little smarter and more "aware" then others. Which they think is really cool but I dunno. It doesn't actually say anything, but it has given off some "bad vibes" before. I dunno, it's hard to explain if you aren't psychic. There was a time in a battle when I got hit in the head really hard and blacked out, but they told me later that I didn't go down, but kept fighting, only my eyes were all red and I turned into a bad ass or somethin'. But I don't know anything about it. It's not supposed to sleep when I do, but sometimes it does. And no I wouldn't cut it off any more than you'd want to cut off your leg, even if it was cramping.

Neve: "Yo mama" insults are purely amateur. I mean it's turned into a comedy routine on Robot Combusken fer cryin' out loud. Usually when I insult Skylar she just laughs, I think she knows that I don't mean it. And she's taken me ta some a her parties, I go along, I'm not one of those closet case shut-ins ya know. I don't dislike people, I just dislike the stupid and annoying ones. Unfortunately most people are stupid and annoying.

Sherilyn: Eh zere are all sorts of claims zat zis shampoo will help more than zis one, but eet is all advertising hype, it makes very little difference if any. I know a lot of manectrics prefer to keep zere hair wild and loose, zey think eet adds power, and it might, but I keep mine under more tight control. Perhaps I sacrifice some raw power, but it gives me more control and a better ability to maniuplate the electicity, which suits my style of battling better. I can trace my ancestry back many many centuries and zere are knights and soldiers in it. I have no current relatives involved in politics I'm happy to say.

Eddie: Nah never played it, it's not my thing. I use rollout a lot, I'm pretty good at controlling it, most people don't expect big guys to actually, you know, have a brain and not be a ridiculous klutz. They expect me to come out there mumbling about pudding and tripping over my own feet. But I'm a lot quicker than anyone ever really expects. There's been some people saying that me and that Tuscany girl on the student council are an item but there's all sorts of reasons why that isn't true. We're just friends. Or something. There is this chansey girl that I'm kind of into right now, she's fun and knows how to throw a wicked right cross. I've never had anyone pull a weapon no, not counting picking up a desk or something.

Rylai: There was this one time this company was dumpin' all sortsa sludge inta a river next ta their factory, they kept claimin' that it was within acceptable gov'ment limits and that it weren't their responsibility. I spent like three weeks draining off the sludge and crap that they were dumpin' in there and keepin' it in a couple of old beer kegs. Then I um... borrowed a truck and broke inta the company's parking garage then drilled a hole inta the roofs of their executives' fancy cars and poured all that sludge in there. I wish I coulda been there when they came out but I had ta leave in a hurry. I've had the 'mon on me before but I'm not eighteen so alls they can really do is smack me on th' wrist. My parents got money so if things get messy, they're good fer somethin' at least.

Tessa: Well when I first woke up and the doctors told me I cried my eyes out of course. But honestly, that was it. I didn't really get depressed, that's just not how I am. I won't lie, there are times when it gets me down now, but not often. That doesn' t do my any good. I haven't really done anything too crazy as far as decorating it, I don't wanna be an eyesore. And yeah, I've crashed it plenty of times. I do have more than one but I don't have anything like that. And I don't really do much in the way of wheelchair-related sports. I actually have done some sparring arena battles though. I was in pretty good shape before, but yeah, my arms have gotten pretty big. I kind of like it honestly but I don't have any intention of turning into one of those hulking bodybuilder she-males, you know? My boobs have gotten bigger too but I don't think there's any relation there. I do all sorts of excercises with my therapy but I'm afraid you lost me on that one, I can't say that I've ever actually watched the Brady Bunch. I have more than one therapist and yeah, they're pretty nice. One of them's really tough but he's also my favorite. His name's Russel, he's a zigzagoon. Actually that's a large part of what they're doing with me. In theory I can do exactly what you're talking about, but for the control that's necessary it's like trying to thread a needle while wearing boxing gloves. I can do that to a limited extent though, I do it with my tail to keep it up and out of the way. I've trained myself to keep the muscles contracted with direct electrical stimulation but that's really all I can do with it. One of the other things they're doing is trying to find a way to use my electrical abilities to form a "bridge" over the break in my spine to get the signals to arc over that break where they can't go through it, and there's been some success there.

Tenebra: I don't get angry. If someone messes with me or my team or tries to make us look the fool, I deal with them. But I don't get angry.

Tenebra: I heard that you like restoring old cars. When did you first get interested in mechanics and where did you learn most of your skills?
When you were living on the streets after running way, was anyone ever nice to you? Surely someone would have sympathized slightly with a little lost female whelp to spare a scrap of food or something else, right?
How many other homeless children did you encounter while on the streets?
Did you ever deal with any gangs while on the streets?
