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

-Ixx's speech appears in bold-

-Yeaf's speech appears in bold italics-

Ah, what a beautiful day in Andalusst City! It seems like everyone’s taking advantage of it, as crowds bustle around your team and vendors peddle this and that. Your teammates can’t help but take in their surroundings, becoming briefly lost in thought.

"I already don't like it here." Ixx blared, with no intention of hiding it from anyone who may be listening to them.

"Oh, don't be like that, it's not like we can go anywhere else. Not with that fog anyway."

"It's the fog that unnerves me. Reminds me too much of the shifting mists, bad things come from the shifting mists."

"Don't just assume the worst case scenario, maybe it's just coincidence that they appear similar?"

"You know more than anyone that there's no such thing as coincidence."

Oh no! As your team rounds the corner, it collides with another Pokemon. After a moment of recovery, you find that it is a Furret with lightly-colored eyes, much like you’d see in some afflicted with blindness. However, the whitish pupils of his eyes seem to follow your team well enough, and he looks none too happy about you bumping into him!

"Watch it! Why, I oughta toss ya into the street for that!”

"I'd like to see you try, fur-ball."

Now you’ve done it. Or at least, it seemed that way at first, as though the Furret couldn’t be consoled or calmed down. However, after your reaction to his threat, a smile creeps over his face.

"Heh, just joshin’ ya. Only uptight nerds fight over bumpin’ into each other. I like your style, though. You new around here? I’m guessin’... stepped outta the fog and got all confused? How close am I?"

"Actually we were teleported nearby, not sure why or how though."

It looks like there won’t be any street fighting today. However, for better or worse, your team now has this Furret walking alongside it, rather than into it. Contrary to how he looks, he seems to be capable of walking on his own without bumping into anything. The fact that he bumped into you starts to seem purposeful.

"Oh yeah? Think I’ve heard that one before… maybe not, though. My memory’s all fuzzy after ya scrambled my brain a few seconds ago. Anyway… name’s Cuffin. Pleased to meetcha! Now, how ‘bout you tell me who ya are?"

"Greetings, the name's Ixx. And this is Yeaf, she doesn't talk to others much."

Cuffin, now seeming more friendly and outgoing, sticks to you like glue. Wherever you walk, he walks too. He seems intent on asking you questions, no matter how you may feel about it.

“Not bad, not bad. I wouldn’t name my kids that… but hey, it’s a free world. So, you guys lookin’ into the guilds here? They look pretty desperate for newbies. Think you’d wanna join one of ‘em?”

"Not really, but we may as well be of use while we're here. Not many other ways we could help I guess."

Along the way, you notice Cuffin having some trouble keeping up as the crowd becomes more dense. It almost seems like you could lose him if you were so inclined, but he quickly finds his place beside you again. The movements of his eyes seem to struggle to keep up with his surroundings for a moment, as though he does indeed have difficulty seeing. However, he quickly snaps out of this behavior and his view becomes confident and forward once more.

"Really? I wouldn’ta pinned ya for that type. I guess they’d be glad to have ya, though. From what I know, they always want ya to have some kinda “team name” to work under ‘em with. What do ya think yours would be?"

"We've always worked under the name of Team Valor."

Upon hearing your proposed team name, Cuffin keeps a silent, straight face for a few moments. Then, the grin he was suppressing comes right out.

“Well, ain’t heard that one before. You might not wanna walk into the rough parts of town callin’ yourself that… eh, or maybe do it anyway if you can handle yourself. I mean, no doubt you can probably throw a punch, or maybe you’ve got a silver tongue. The guilds look for stuff like that. How ‘bout you tell me what ya think your strengths are, just to get your story straight for when they wanna know?”

"For the first eight years of my life I was trained to be the ultimate solider. Ruthless, efficient. The element of surprise was my greatest ally. But after a significant turn of events I was left at an orphanage in a foreign country. This is where I met my friend here, Yeaf. She taught me what was and wasn't acceptable in modern society, changing me from a murderer to a respectable civilian (respectable enough anyway). And after a series of events we've ended up here.

Though Cuffin has clearly been busting your chops, he seems to listen intently to your explanation of yourself. He doesn’t grin, nor wisecrack. He simply hears you out.

“Yeah… yeah, I can respect that. Everybody’s gotta get by in their own way, and there ain’t nobody who knows that better than me. If you play on your strengths, you’ll get far here, I bet.”

What an oddly sentimental moment. Shortly after, Cuffin walks ahead of your team and into its path, forcing you to stop for a moment. He’s smiling, though for once it seems to be in a friendly manner, rather than amusement at your expense.

“I hate to deprive ya of my presence, but I’ve gotta bounce. I’m sure you’ll see me again, so don’t sweat it. I’m sure the guild’ll love to have ya.”

"Very well then, farewell."

Perhaps it’s unfortunate, or perhaps it’s a blessing, but the Furret is finally out of your business for the time being. He tips his hat to you in a coy manner before leaving. You notice him narrowly, though stylishly avoiding collision with several objects and other Pokemon before he’s out of sight.
