You're probably the best math person here, Bunny. But then I'd have to go look at other posts and stuff... |

Is the discussion and the actual mailbag the same thread?

A portal conveniently opens up onstage while Anna is busy plotting a way to get Purple here. Unnoticed by her, Purple walks through and looks around.
Anna then turns and notices Purple standing there. "Eep!" She nearly drops a few note cards. "What are you doing here EARLY?"
"You left this portal open, so I thought I'd just walk in. It's not uncommon for challengers of the Pokemon League to show up that way." Charizard runs in and lets out a roar, stomping around and acting tough.
"And here I was planning to finally use that spiked bra..."
"The...what?"
"Nevermind, it doesn't matter now." Anna casually tosses a mace over her shoulder. "Let's get you backstage so you can wear your outfit." Anna then turns to the audience. "And remember that YOU need to send in questions. Anything works! Try to at least submit SOMETHING interesting though, kay?" Anna then drags Purple offstage.

Purple arrives back onstage to much cheering. Anna walks alongside him as he appears to be crossdressing. "I didn't think you were going to make me wear this..." He wears a purple dress along with having his nails painted the same color.
"Come onnnnn, this is how you beat Erika's gym. You have to put on a show anyway~"
"...Fine." Purple turns to the camera and winks at it, holding up two fingers. "Hey, how's everyone doing~?" His ability to mimic a feminine voice is incredible...
The crowd erupts into cheers, pleasing Anna greatly. "Oh, I'm so getting a raise for this." She turns back to the cameras. "Alright, everyone! Are you ready? Let's jump right into the questions!" She produces flash cards from her pocket and begins to read the questions off.
Who was the strangest challenger you’ve ever faced?
“The most interesting challenger I ever faced was Silver and his Primal Moltres. It was quite the battle. If it wasn’t for Squirtle and Carbink, I don’t think I could have won.” Purple pauses. “Oh, but you want to know the weirdest challenger. Er...There was this fat, yellow guy. He was obsessed with farting…”
Are you the gay offspring of Red and Blue?
“Um...No, I don’t think...that’s possible? Blue is my dad, but I’m not really related to Red. It would be awesome to challenge him one day though.”
Blue may enter Oz, but instead of your father, he’s an ex-rebel leader fighting in a bloody war and has never met anyone named Serena. How would you feel about this?
“Well...weird. It would be weird. At the same time, it would be nice to see my dad again. But...He’s not really the same person. I guess if he’s a nice guy and a good trainer, I’d like a battle with him. But uh...I dunno. I’m a little conflicted about that…”
What type of girls do you like?
Purple blushes a bit at the question, clearly embarrassed. “Wh-What? Um...Well, I guess...nice. Girls. I guess we would get along well if she also liked Pokemon. We could talk about battle strategies…”
What are your first impressions of those other weirdo Pokemon trainers?
“You mean those others I spoke to? I guess they’re okay…? The ghost girl is a little creepy. The one with pink hair seems nice. That other guy was looking at my Skarmory weird. I hope he doesn’t try to steal it. I can’t stand Pokemon thieves…”
But why male models?
“Um...What?”
“Just answer the question.”
“Because…?”
Metang has a catch rate of 3. If encountered in a Giant Chasm, battled to approximately 40% HP, paralyzed, and hit with a Safari Zone rock, and a Luxury Ball is thrown at it, what color underwear do you usually wear?
“Uh...Purple?”
Has your experience with the Blank Lanterns soured your opinion of the undead?
“I’m not really sure what you mean…” Purple crosses his arms and tilts his head. “I guess if I met a nice undead person I wouldn’t be mean to them. But...I definitely wouldn’t ever trust a Black Lantern. Luckily, they’re all gone, so we don’t have to worry about them.”
What is your favorite food?
“One time, when I was in the Pokemon World Tournament, I stayed at this hotel with my Pokemon and we ordered room service. The food there was really good. It was gourmet five star fancy stuff. That was a good night. We even watched the other matches that night on T.V. I think Carbink was the most interested in coming up with strategies to take down our future opponents. Charizard almost burned the curtains and-”
“Alright, let’s keep moving on before you take up all our time with one question.”
Have you ever considered a name change?
“Not really. I don’t have any reason to change my name. I like it.”
What is your preferred form of swimwear?
“I guess...normal swimming trunks? I don’t really wear anything weird. I have seen a lot of swimmers in speedos though. Ethos’ beaches can be dangerous for your eyes…”
Hmm...But why male models?
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I guess one time I probably battled a male model. I know there’s a pro wrestling trainer that used to work as a male model. But I never fought him.”
What battles do you most fondly remember?
“I still remember the day Charizard first mega evolved. It was during the Pokemon World Tournament. I was facing off against my opponent in a volcano. We were both down to our last Pokemon. It looked like we were about to lose the fight, but Charizard and I stood together to the end. He used Flare Blitz and the fire turned blue! Then he mega evolved and took down the opponent. It was really a sight to see.”
If you could bring anyone you know to Oz, who would it be?
“Well they’re in the middle of a big fight with something, right? I guess I’d bring someone that’s good at fighting. Xehanort was pretty powerful. I bet he’d be a good ally to have. We probably wouldn’t have survived the Black Lantern fight without his help. His partner, Shadow, could control time too. That’s a pretty useful power to have.”
How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren’t real?
“But...they are real? Some of these things don’t make any sense…”
What’s your favorite color?
“Green is a nice color…But it’s probably purple.”
Favorite Pokemon you don’t have?
“I always thought Greninja was cool. Mom had a really strong one. They both saved the world together a long time ago. It’s how she met dad. It’s a really cool story. It all goes back to this one time when dad got sick on PNF404 and mom made him some soup. Then when he ate it-”
“Okay, we don’t have time for you to tell us about the entire Grand Tower adventure. It takes long enough to explain the Gates Trilogy.”
Favorite move?
“Psychic type moves are usually pretty fun to use because of their versatility. I also think there’s something kind of fun about moves like Metronome. You never know what might happen!”
How important are buff/debuff and status moves to you?
“It depends on the Pokemon. Every trainer has their own style and I need to change gears depending on the Pokemon I’m using. You should use the right style for the right Pokemon. For example, Ivysaur is probably the most adept Pokemon I have at inflicting statuses like poison and paralysis. But that kind of style doesn’t suit Charizard. He’s better at charging the enemy head on!”
Favorite Pokemon Item?
“I don’t really use a lot of items myself, but I do prefer to give my Pokemon things like berries to use in battle. I have a pack of incense that I got from a flower Pokemon Gym one time. Each of my Pokemon tend to carry one. It makes them stronger, but I’m not entirely sure how.”
Favorite pokeball?
“Quick Balls are pretty effective, but you can never go wrong with the classic Pokeball.”
Favorite trainer item?
“Bicycles are fun to ride on. I kind of wish I had one. But my drink cooler has been pretty useful so far too. Nothing beats an ice cold drink after a Pokemon battle.”
"Alright~! That's enough for now! Lets get you and your Pokemon backstage for a special group costume!" Anna seems far too excited for this. Only disaster could possibly strike next.

Purple is shoved back onstage by Anna, now wearing a Charizard costume. “Go, go, go! We’re running out of time, so just answer these rapidfire questions, Purplezard!”
Favorite HM
“I like to use surf a lot. Mostly because it’s so powerful and can hit multiple Pokemon at once. I tend to do a lot of single battles though, so I don’t use it much.”
If you were a Pokemon, what would you be?
“Probably Bisharp because of how they lead Pawniard into battle. The same way I lead my Pokemon to battle.”
Favorite type of soup?
“There’s actually a story behind that. My mom met my dad when he was sick and she made soup for him. It was mushroom soup and it was actually really bad, but he ate it anyway. Haha, he wanted to spare her feelings. Anyway, mom actually practiced making her soup better. By the time they had me, mom’s mushroom soup was amazing. She uses real Super Mushrooms from the Mushroom Kingdom. I kind of miss her soup…”
The air becomes somewhat sad and awkward. Anna quickly goes to the next question.
Favorite trainer class?
“I always find that veteran trainers are fun to battle. Even if you lose, they still help you out by giving you their knowledge of battles.”
Favorite Gym?
“Hm...I guess Erika’s gym. N-Not because I liked the dress! It was because I’m friends with Erika! It was just fun to battle my friend is all!”
If you made a gym, what would your gimmick be?
“Something strategic. Maybe they’d have to fight others before me with each one using a special battlefield that was designed differently and affects the battle?”
What’s your strategy going up against trainers you don’t know?
“Play defensively until you can get a sense of what their abilities are. Carbink would be good for that. I could also use Porygon and have him scan the enemy to learn what their strengths and weaknesses are.”
What’s your biggest weakness?
“Well, I pretty much rely on my Pokemon entirely in battle. If I get attacked directly and nobody’s protecting myself, there’s not much I can do about it. And without me, my Pokemon would have a hard time fighting. It’s...the same way my partner, Joker, was killed by the Black Lanterns…”
“Geez, what’s with all the downer personal questions today…?” Anna shuffles the cards around and looks for something a little more cheery.
How do you feel about Red?
“I respect and look up to him! He used to be an amazing Pokemon trainer until he suddenly disappeared. I’m probably his biggest fan!”
Least Favorite Pokemon?
“I don’t really have one. I love all Pokemon and believe that they can all be helpful in some way.”
Favorite Pokemon Type?
“Psychic types have a lot of fun abilities and utility to them. There’s always some kind of tactical advantage you can get from them.”
Least Favorite Pokemon Type?
“I think all types have their uses, strengths, and weaknesses. I can really have fun using all of them, so I don’t have much of a least favorite.”
Thoughts on Fawful?
“Hey, I think I remember him from the world tournament! We never battled, but I sure would love to battle with him. He has a special Pikachu. It would be cool to see its abilities.”
Thoughts on Wario?
“Hmm...Oh, that was the name of that weird yellow guy that smelled like garlic. He’s...odd. I’m not quite sure what to say about him. I heard he exploded once.”
Thoughts on Pixy?
“That’s the special Pikachu I was talking about! I really want to study her moves and abilities. I wonder what she’s capable of. It would be cool just to battle her, but if I got to actually meet and observe her for a bit, that would be amazing!”
Thoughts on Kitty?
“I remember her. She’s that cat that helped us fight the Black Lanterns. She snuck in with Ringabel to take out Black Lantern Bowser. Apparently she’s incredibly powerful, but I’ve only ever seen her take naps and eat fish…”
Thoughts on Gruntilda?
“I’m...drawing a blank on this one. Who’s Gruntilda?”
Who’s your greatest rival when it comes to Pokemon trainers?
“Umm...I guess Silver? He was strong and I definitely considered him a great opponent, but I don’t think we were necessarily rivals. I don’t have a lot of people that fit that description.”
Do you want to be the best like no one ever was?
“Of course! It’s why I train!”
Gotta catch ‘em all?
“I’d love to, but I can’t take care of that many Pokemon. Catching them all would just be irresponsible…”
Gotta go faster?
“Sometimes it’s good to go fast, but never underestimate the power of moving slowly.”
Something about a woodchuck going Super Saiyan Blue
“Um...sure?”
Post in Nova
“What…?”
Favorite Pokegirl?
Purple blushes a bit. “Wh-What!? I don’t...Um, there’s nobody I like. That’s, uh, that’s all.”
Isn’t Yancy the best?
“She seems nice. I think we would be good friends if we got to spend more time together. I’m excited to show her Ethos once all this is over! I think she’d like it.”
What Pokemon would you be for a day and why? No legendaries
“Hmm...maybe a Machamp? I can use the extra arms to have two Pokemon battles at once!”
Digimon are cheap Pokemon knock offs, right?
“I don’t really think so. They seem like two different things to me. I met someone with a Digimon once. They aren’t really that close to Pokemon at all. And they talk! I guess I wouldn’t mind raising a Digimon if I had the chance to. It would be interesting”
Bowser’s freaking awesome, right?
“You mean the Bowser I met in Oz, right? He’s okay, I guess. I still don’t know much about him, but he seems nicer than the other Bowsers I’ve met at least.”
Favorite world connected to the cemetery?
“I love Ethos! There are so many Pokemon battles to be had there!”
Least favorite world connected to the cemetery?
“I heard Hyruje is constantly enveloped in civil war. That wouldn’t be very fun…”
Whose side were you on during the Hyruje War?
“I...I wasn’t-”
WHY WEREN’T YOU ON TEAM ELSA!?
“I-I wasn’t there! I swear, I don’t know anything about it!”
“Alright, that’s all today, everyone! Good luck, goodbye, and START THE NEXT VOTING, EMPPY!” Anna pushes a button, causing Purple’s chair to flip over and launching him into a nearby portal.[/b]

The stage is dark. In the center of the stage, dim candles flicker to life to reveal Anna. She's dressed in a dark cloak and kneeling in front of an arcane symbol, flanked by several other similarly cloaked figures with hidden faces. Anna holds up a dagger and makes a big show of dragging it across her palm. A thin line of blood appears and she presses it against the symbol. It begins to glow a bright purple, bathing the room in an eerie light as a faint humming noise pierces the air.
One smartass in the audience tries to point out that it's a fake dagger and fake blood, and that the sound is just a hidden teleporter firing up. A mage in the catwalks waves a Silence staff at him and he stops mid-sentence.
Anna speaks in a booming voice. "Corva Fox. We summon you, from the land of Oz... Oh, and don't forget to bring all your Pokemon." She places a bottle of milk in the center of the circle. With some over-the-top effects and a burst of smoke, a floating figure emerges in the center of the ring, faintly visible by the candlelight.
Corva tries to fly out of the circle, only for a bright flash of red to knock her back. "Ow! That hurts. Is... Is this Starburst energy!?"
"NO! No, no, no, gods, no!" Anna promises. "No, just energized muons and neutrons reinforced with some good old-fashioned blood magic."
"Oh. That's OK, then. ...Is this milk for Corva?" Corva takes a seat and starts drinking without waiting for an answer.
"Yes. Yes it is. So, anyway, welcome to Mailbag of Legends! Where you and your Pokemon will be answering a series of interesting, embarrassing, and downright nonsensical questions sent in by our viewers! Don't worry, there's no Nova or anything in this world, so don't feel like you need to hold back!"
"Uh-huh?" Corva pauses just long enough to ask before going back to drinking.
"So... Why don't you introduce the rest of our guests before we open this up for questions? Y'know, the Pokemon you're borrowing?" Anna suggests.
Corva gags on her drink and sends milk running down her neck. "You stay away from Corva's Pokemon!" she screams furiously.
"Calm down, we're just going to have them answer some questions," Anna promises. "Hey, have you ever wished you could talk to them? Because we've got some really neat technology..."
Corva calms down a bit. "OK, deal!" She pulls out 6 Pokeballs and tosses them into the air. Her Pokemon burst out around her. "We've got Shade, the Mismagius... She's a real sweetheart, loves killing Nova."
"Maaaah."
"And Kon the Umbreon, he's really protective."
"Umbrrrrr..." He snarls at Anna.
"This is Sync the Espeon, she likes to play with things."
"Esssspeon?" She swats at the barrier a few times, cocking her head as it flashes.
"Suuuue the Vaporeon. She sleeps a lot."
"Pore."
"Ribbons the Sylveon. He loves hugs!"
"Syl-syl!"
"Annnnnd Grace the Glaceon. She also loves hugs. But she'll never admit it."
"G-Glay! Glay-Glay-Glayceon! Glaceon!"
Anna shrugs. "Well, there you have it, folks. Send in your questions, costume suggestions-"
Corva perks up. "Costumes? Oh, I love playing dress up!"
"Great! Questions, costume suggestions, and whatever else you got. Make sure you list which of our participants they're for! Send them to CDM - he'll be accepting them until Monday night!"
A cool wind howls through the room, extinguishing the candles and leaving the room in darkness...

24-ish hour heads-up for question submissions

Post by SummerCrow on Dec 5, 2017 2:30:24 GMT -6
Anna comes out to a dimly lit stage. A few ghost Pokemon are milling about in the background. A spotlight snaps to her. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the second episode of the season 2 of the Oz mailbag! Our guest is the sadistic spirit of vengeance, the Nova-murder maniac - Corva Fox!"
Corva comes out dressed in a costume. Her hair is styled done up to look short with a pair of pretty earrings dangling from her ears. She's wearing a sleeveless, low-cut top, violet-blue with gold trim, that splits into a V at her midriff. A flared-collar purple cape hanging from her neck leaves her her cleavage exposed. Long ribbons trail from behind her back. She wears a pair of form-fitting boots with towering heels that ride up to her lower thighs. A violet, Sarong-style bikini bottom worn low leaves her navel visible; it covers one leg to the knee, but leaves her other thigh bare. She's wearing a pair of long, violet gloves that run almost to her shoulders and clutching a blood-red tome. There's a pair of glowing purple bracelets on her wrists.
She walks to join Anna, stumbling a bit in the boots. She's used to heeled boots, but not ones this... tall. Especially when she's stuck walking. She gives the audience a cheerful wave. "Uhuhu... Corva. Blue Crow. No matter the name, the end is still the same! Did Corva do the line right?"
"Yep, right up until you asked if you did the line right..." Anna sighs. The lights snap on.
"The light of the stage is ghastly. Don't you agree?" Corva asks. She has an unusually measured tone.
"As glad as I am to see someone really embracing the character, Corva, you can stop now. People are here for the Corva mailbag, not the Ursula mailbag."
"Hm. Nice audience here. Corva wonders how long it'd take me to finish them off..." Corva grins at someone in the front row.
The audience member and those next to him shift uncomfortably.
"Don't worry. We took her gun and knife away," Anna assures everyone. "And those bracelets on her wrists are specially tuned to her spectral energy to keep her powers suppressed - just in case."
"Corva wasn't planning to kill anyone... Not that it was completely off the table." Corva folds her arms and puffs out her cheeks.
"Right... Well. That's that's the truth, apparently. You remember that milk you drank, right?" Anna has a cruel smile on her face.
"4/10."
"Huh?"
"4/10. It had a strong feed flavor. You need to feed your cows after milking. Also, your milking machine needs to be cleaned and sanitized," Corva says matter-of-factly with her arms still folded. "Corva could tell it was fresh and you give your cows high-quality feed, you get points for that. But the discoloration and the obvious foreign contaminant really knock score off. So what did Corva really drink?"
"A... truth serum..." Anna stutters. She clears he throat. "Anyway... We're going to go ahead and start with the hard-hitting questions before it wears off. Ready?" Anna gestures to a pair of chairs and takes a seat.
"Yeah!" Corva runs and tries to leap into the other chair. She trips and face-plants into the seat. "...Not being able to fly's annoying..."
Anna covers her mouth as she giggles. She waits until Corva gets into her seat. "Now, let's begin for real this time! So why Ghost type Pokemon?"
"When I was a little girl growing up in Lavender Town, I used to be kind of scared of ghosts. And one day, Jude and I got into an argument," Corva seems surprised at herself as she begins her story. "He said he was braver than me! And I wanted to prove him wrong. So I went into the Rock Tunnel with only my Kon - still just an eevee, and not even a Flash or an escape rope. And it was so dark, and I was so, so scared... I ended up running and running... I even ran away from some trainers who tried to help me. I got so completely and hopelessly lost. And as soon as they figured out where I'd gone, so many people from Lavender Town came looking for me." Corva sniffs. "Kon got hurt trying to protect me. There were so, so many Zubats... In the darkness, it felt like they were everywhere... They didn't find me until the morning. I... I probably wouldn't have survived the night, but a... a wild Haunter protected me. I remember when I first saw it, I... crawled away, backed into a corner. Just sobbing, completely terrified. And... it started laughing. And making faces. It... protected me from the other Pokemon. All night. And in the morning, when we heard the search parties coming, it just disappeared. Years later, I went back and looked for that Haunter, but... I never found it. But I just... started loving ghosts after that." Corva smiles softly and wipes her eyes. "And I know it was partly Jude's fault, but he was one of the ones who found me. He was crying, too..."
Anna lets out a nervous laugh. "...Well, that... was an answer. Let's... move on to something a bit more cheery, hm? Why do you talk in the 3rd person a lot?"
"Because it feels like I'm not... me anymore. Ever since I died and became a ghost, I'm just... not... the same. Sometimes when I'm feeling... lucid, I'll go back to speaking normally, but... Corva calls Corva Corva because Corva is Corva."
There's another character that will speak in third person. Will you consider them a rival, or a potential friend?
"Depends on why she does it. If she's doing it for the same reason as me, I guess I'll sympathize with her. If she just does it to be cute, I think I'd find it infuriating."
Is there anyone from your world that you would like to see in Oz?
"Jude."
Have you always been slightly (ummm nice way of putting it) eccentric or was this quirk because of Nova?
"I guess I've always been a little off, but... not... the way I am now. A harmless type of eccentric, y'know? The whole... dying and coming back as a ghost thing definitely made me worse."
Do people often tell you that you need mental help? Do you find yourself wondering if they're right?
"People aren't stupid enough to say it to my face, but I know people are thinking it. And if they aren't, then they need mental help. Because I clearly do."
What's your favorite part of being a ghost? Is it enough to make you say "man, I wish I'd died sooner"?
"If I'd died any sooner, I doubt I could've come back as a ghost, so no. The best part... It's a tough choice, but I think my favorite is the flying. Yeah. Sneaking up on people's good, and being able to fight... But the feel of the wind against your skin, having nothing under your feet... It's something you can't quite experience while riding on a Pokemon." Corva's smiling wistfully. "It's almost worth the insanity."
You can punch any person you want in the face with either your fist, or a spiked mace. Who do you choose?
"I bet expect me to say Maurice, but I have much worse in mind for him. No. I would choose the one that gave me this." Corva points to the scar across her eye. "Of course, he could already be dead, I have no idea. Maybe I even killed him myself. It's not like I got a good look, all I really know is he used a Scyther." Corva shrugs. "But if he's dead, then I'd pick his ghost. I could probably do that now."
Was candy and Pokemon Dolls really that important to break into a Nova stronghold?
"For presents for my adorable little ones? Of course it was worth the risk. Plus, any excuse to kill a few Novas. And it's not like I expected to walk into an ambush! ...Again." A faint blush spreads across Corva's cheeks. She pokes her pointer fingers together sheepishly. "...I guess that's the idea behind an ambush, but it still makes me feel a bit stupid..."
What are your first impressions of the other Pokemon trainers you've met in Oz?
"The one with the mask seems pretty competent. I'd give him a shot on my team. His girlfriend, I'm not so sure about yet. She seems nice. Maybe too nice. Maybe a bit weak. But I feel like she has potential. I kinda want to push her a bit, just enough to see if she's the type to break or to push back." Corva seems to be cheering up quite a bit. "The young one from the other world's so cute! Corva just wants to hug and squeeze him. Oh, and then there's the brown-haired lady with the really weird Ponyta and the cursed axe. She's so bossy and won't even let me touch it. Corva doesn't like her so much."
Anna huffs. "Looks like it's wearing off. We didn't think some of these questions would last so long. Let's try to get through the last of this set, and then you'll get to take a nice break. Alright? What are you dressing up as next Halloween?
"Santa Claus!"
"No, dear, I said 'Halloween,' not Christmas," Anna repeats.
"San! ta! Claus! Are you telling Corva she can't?"
Anna sits in stunned silence. "I... but... Alright, I'll bite. Why?"
"Because then Corva can go around to all the good little boys and girls and give them candy! And all the bad little Nova and give them death."
"You don't need to dress as Santa to..."
"Did Corva stutter!? She wants to be Santa!"
"OK, OK. You can be Santa. Let's just... leave it at that. This next question's the most important, so listen carefully. If one bus leaves the station at 70 mph because it possesses a bomb set to detonate if it ever goes below 65 mph, and another bus leaves the station at 40 mph at the opposite direction, and then drives off a cliff and falls at a rate of approximately 20 mph before exploding and killing a single Weedle, what color underwear do you usually wear?
"Sixty kilojoules!" Corva shouts excitedly. "Oh. Red! Like blood. Really saves Corva a lot of trouble. Plus, Corva looks really sexy in red."
What's your favorite execution method?
"Stabbing," Corva answers immediately.
"That's less execution and more... murder. Come on, be creative. What would your ideal execution method be? Whatever you want."
"Oooh... Corva's always really wanted to try one of those spikey-boxes! What do you call them...? Phantom maidens!"
"Iron maidens," Anna corrects.
"Yeah, that! It'd be like stabbing someone dozens of times all at once...!"
Anna smiles. "You know, we figured you'd say that. So we put one together. Wanna try it...?"
"Really!? Can Corva?"
Anna shrugs and waves it off. "Aw, you wouldn't be interested. Would you?"
Corva bounces in her seat with excitement. "Yes, yes, yes!"
"And you're sure you want to try it out?"
Corva drops to her knees at Anna's feet. "Pleeeeeaaaase!"
"Well, if you insist..." Anna raises her hand and snaps her fingers.
Shadowy hands reach out of a Cofagrigus in the background. They wrap around Corva and start dragging her in. "Huh? Wh-?" Corva struggles, kicking as it lifts her into the air. The lid creaks open, parting as she draws near. It drags her inside and holds her in place.
"We (by which I mean our interns...) had to do a lot of breeding to make this," Anna tells her.
With a loud scraping noise, dozens of needle-like teeth snap out of the Cofagrigus, all around Corva. She has just enough time to let out a gasp before the lid slams shut. The lights dim until only the glowing eyes of the ghosts milling about are visible.
Anna's voice echoes quietly throughout the room. "Don't worry, dear audience. I'm sure she'll be fine. Or.. maybe not... Hehehe. We'll be right back with Corva's Pokemon..."

"Up next, interview all of Corva's Pokemon with all the individual questions you had for them! Up first is her ever-vigilant guardian, Kon the Umbreon!" On cue, Kon comes walking out, slowly and hesitantly. He has a collar tied around his neck with a strange speaker-like box.
Kon pauses in front of Anna and growls. "What did you do with Master?"
"Oh, she's fine. Having the time of her life, really. She'll be back on-stage for another round of questions after all of you have a turn."
"Hmph... Fine. Ask your questions. But know I distrust you, red-headed scoundrel!" Kon takes a defensive stance.
Are you the worse of the eeveelutions? Or is Flareon the worst?
"Bah! Perhaps we Umbreons aren't the most beloved, but at least it didn't take us seven generations to develop a skill tied to our best attributes!"
"...Alright, then. Well, speaking of 'not the most beloved,' that's the only question we had for you. So... Run along, now." Anna flips her hand dismissively.
Kon turns his nose up and strolls off to sit on the side of the stage.
Sync is the next to come bounding out. "So this little thing will let me talk? Oh, is that my voice? Is that my voice!? Oh, wow! Hello, me! Hello! Hello? Hello! Hel-"
"Yes, hi, hello," Anna says. "Ready to answer some questions?"
"Oh, yeah! Corva said I was supposed to cooperate with you. OK, ask away! I know a lotta stuff. I'm very smart." Sync flicks her tail proudly.
"They aren't really those types of questions... Do you wish your owner was a little more stable?
"But my trainer is dead...?" Sync asks. She seems a bit sad. "Oh, you mean Corva! Yeah, I guess. She's really interesting, but maybe a little over-protective. But she just doesn't wanna lose me 'n' the others. And she wants to get revenge on the ones that hurt Karen, and I'm all for that!"
Favorite Physic type pokemon beside your self?
"Chimecho! They're really fun to swat. Did you know they make different tones depending on where and how hard you hit them? Maybe humans can't hear the difference so well, though."
"...And those are all the questions we had for you, so... You want to go join the others?"
"Nah, I'm gonna go wander around backstage and mess with stuff. Bye!" Sync sproings off happily. Anna makes sure an intern is following her around before calling out the next guest.
Sue strolls out, walks a lap around Anna, and takes a seat. "So we just have to answer some questions, right? And then we're done?"
"Well, there'll be another round of questions later, then you'll be done.
"Oh, that's not too bad. OK."
After Pika and Brock did to those poor Water Types on that island. Any strong words for them?
"Not really. Dad already yelled at them."
Electric and Grass types who need them right?
"Aunt Elodie really liked grass types, and Dad liked Elodie. And I get along with her Vileplume. But we never really go along with Ferdinand when he was alive, so I guess they're meh."
Grace shes a total Primiarina right?
"She's alright. She really needs to calm down sometimes, though. Glay, glay, glay..." Sue sighs. "All glay every glay."
How do you feel about Vern?
"Dad's great. He makes sure I get lots of fish."
Out of all the other Eeveelutions that you hang around with. Who's your favorite? Least Favorite?
"I dunno. I only get to see Grace and Ribbons now, and I guess like Ribbons better? He's willing to snuggle up for a nap sometimes. Grace is fine, though." Sue's tail slaps against the stage and her shoulders hunch. "Sometimes I really miss Florian, though."
Anna nervously clears her throat. "Right, well... Anyway, that's... Hey, we've got some nice fish waiting over time. You like mackerel, right?" Anna taps a microphone on her wrist and whispers to backstage. "Sad Vaporeons is not good for ratings. Get the mackerel out here, pronto."
Sue nods sadly. She walks over to join Kon, and a plate of fish is delivered almost immediately. Kon eyes it suspiciously, but Sue manages a sad smile and gets started eating. She seems to cheer up considerably.
Anna looks relieved. "Right, well... Let's call out our next guest! The ice queen, Grace!"
Grace comes out with her nose in the air and takes a seat far from Anna. "I'm sure you've got a bunch of stupid questions. Fine, let's just get this over with."
Anonymous comment: Your like my idol and adore everything you do and everything you stand for.
"Huh? What kind of question is that!? It's not a question at all!"
Are you still jealous of Meloetta?
"Jealous? Of her? Ha! I got Ribbons, and I got my trainer. I win."
Glay Glay Glaceion?
"Are you mocking me!?"
How do you get your fur to stay all nice and shiny?
"I work hard on grooming. Three hours, every day. Freezing, thawing, re-freezing..."
How many eevees are you going to have with Ribbions?
"H- Wh- Bw- Th- G...! Th-th-th-that's... How should I know!? And th-th-that's none of your business!"
Is it true Mushrooms wouldn't ease the pain?
"What? I don't..."
Is your princess in a different castle?
"Stop asking nonsense questions! You're wasting my time!"
Lets face it your the best eeveelution hands down right?
"Obviously. But I guess Sylveon's pretty good."
So is Ashley the Delphox still on your Glay list?
"Hmph. She's whatever. I have bigger things to worry about."
So why did you attack Meloetta when she was first introduced to everyone? Were you jealous of her at first? Did you think she would touch Ribbons heart and you would be torn apart?
"Because she touched me! I don't like when people touch me without permission!"
There's plenty of fan art of you and Ribbions out there (some classy and some well not as classy). What do you have to say to those artists out there?
"Aaaaahhhhh! No! No-no-no-no-no-no-no!"
What came first the Glay or the Glacieon?
"Glay's in Glaceon! So it's first! Duh!"
When she told you that deep down you're a strong and kind-hearted Pokemon and try to hide yourself in Glay's is that true?
"What? Who's 'she?' I'm not... I mean, of course I'm strong! And I'm not hiding behind anything!"
Who's the pretty girl?
"Ha! Finally, a normal question. I am! I'm the prettiest!" She glances over at the others. "No offence, Sue. You're OK, but really - who could compare to me?"
Sue looks up with half a fish head hanging out of her mouth. She gives Grace a questioning look - she wasn't listening.
You think you win this tournament?
"What? What tournament?"
Your told to pick a God and Glay. Who are you Glaying too?
"Arceus."
Honest thoughts on the following people and Pokemon: Ashley the Delphox? Greninja? Pika the Pikachu? Brock the Corphish? Yuzu the Meloetta? Ribbons the Syl Syl? Carleen? Cass? Jude?
"They're... fine. Well, Ashley's kind of a jerk sometimes, but most of them are fine. Ribbons is... Fine! I like Ribbons. And Cass is pretty good. And I like my trainer. Usually. He's way more competent than some trainers I could name. Like... Like those assholes who took Karen away! I liked Karen! And so did Jude! Or... Or those stupid people who got themselves killed and left us...! And... Raven... Raven was the worst of all..."
"But you're glad to have a chance to see Corva again, right?"
"...I guess..."
"All these sad Pokemon are either going to kill or skyrocket our ratings..." Anna thinks to herself. "Well, uh... That's a lot of questions, huh? Ready to take a break?"
"Y-yeah." Grace sadly slinks off to sit with the others. Sue looks up and noses a mackerel towards her. Grace shakes her head and lays down with a dejected sigh.
"Hey, cheer up, Grace! You're going to be excited for our next guest. You all love him, whether you want to or not. The adorable rogue - Ribbons!"
Ribbons comes out, waving his ribbons at the crowd. He stops in front of Anna and strikes a pose, then turns to give Anna a wink. "Hey, Sexy! I'm lovin' the hair. Ever consider lightening it a bit, though? You'd look pretty in pink!"
"I tried it once, actually. Didn't look as good as you'd expect. Anyway... Ready to answer some questions?"
"Anything for a beautiful woman. Let's get started!"
But why Female Eevees?
"What kind of question is that?" Ribbons ask. "Because they're so cute!"
How do you feel knowing that you and Pika Carlene's Pikachu are actually half brothers?
Ribbons shrugs. "I dunno. I still don't know him very well."
How often are you mistaken for a female Sylvieon? If it happens does it bother you?
"Other Pokemon can always tell! But trainers get it mixed up a lot. It doesn't really bug me, though."
Flesh ribbons the best ribbons?
"Duh! They're awesome. There's so much they can do! Check this out." He reaches up and uses Tickle on Anna.
"Hey! Stop that!" She swats him away. "We've still got more questions first. Let's see... Not an actual question but a request for Anna to just cuddle the ever loving Sylvieon out of her." Anna stares at the card for a second, then spreads her arms wide and smiles. "Alright, alright. Get it over with," she says with mock consternation.
Ribbons is happy to oblige.
Anna spends a moment enjoying herself. "Haha... As fun as this is, let's get back to the questions. Next is... You're just the cuddliest thing ever aren't you?
Sylveon beams proudly. "Yep!"
You know by switching your car insurance to Geico you could save 100's of dollars right?
"I didn't, but I also don't have a car."
Poison and Steel Types. Who needs them right?"
"Yeah, who needs them?" Ribbons agrees.
Thoughts on Ashley the Delphox? Pika? Greninja? Brock the Corphish?
"Pika and Greninja are fine. I'm still a little mad at Ashley. I've barely even seen Brock."
Syl syl syl sylvieon?
"Are you mocking me? Because I feel like you're mocking me."
Who's the better at slaying dragon (types) you or Grace?
"Oh, good question! I dunno. Probably Grace, but it'd be a fun competition."
Have you always had a crush on Grace from way back in the day or was it something in particular that caused you to go all Syl Syl for her?
"Hmmm... I can't think of anything in particular. I remember the first time I saw her, I thought she was really cute and tried to snuggle her. And she turned me away! Not just a little rebuff, but a full-on rejection! I knew she was special. I could tell she'd be really worth the effort."
The thing you like the most about Grace? Thing you dislike the most?
"Dislike? I guess I wish she wouldn't needle me so much. But she's so sweet when she decides to be! And her fur feels so good. I absolutely love snuggling with her, even when she does end up getting a bit stabby."
How did you discover that Grace likes her ear nibbled on?
"Oh, she does, does she?" He gives her a sidelong glance and smirks. "I didn't know she actually liked it, so I guess I discovered it when you told me just now!"
Scruff Mcrgruff wants you to take a bite out of crime. Screw that what do you want to take a bite out of?
"Grace's ear!" he cheers.
"Well, that was your last question. So go right ahead!" Anna gestures to the waiting area.
Ribbons immediately leaps over and pounces on Grace. The pair go rolling before Ribbons quickly comes out on top. He bares his fangs and rears back.
"H-hey, no-not in front of- Haaaa..." Grace settles down and stops struggling while Ribbons gnaws on her. "D-damn you..."
"Last, but certainly not least, Corva's right-hand ghost: Shade the Mismagius!" The lights dim to make things more comfortable for the spooky ghost as Anna motions to the spot Shade's supposed to appear. Shade does not. "...I know you're behind me, Shade." Anna turns around calmly. No Shade. Anna looks around before finally looking down. Shade pops out of the ground and floats around Anna laughing. She's got a similar speaker collar tied around her hat.
"Hah! You're no fun. No fun at all!"
"Aw, that's no fair. Answering questions is fun, isn't it?"
"Not really. But I don't got a choice, do I?"
"Not really. First question! Who's your favorite person to scare? Pokemon to scare?
"Mama's my favorite to scare! We try to scare each other all the time! Annnnd... I dunno about Pokemon. Florian, maybe?"
Is there anyone who isn't scared of you no matter how hard you try?
"Oh, plenty. And even the ones that I manage to startle, most of 'em aren't really scared of me."
Favorite color?
"Red!" Shade grins and shows off her necklace.
But why Male Gengars?
"Ho-o-o-o-o? Male Gengars, you say?" Shade chuckles. "I'm listening."
(Show her pictures of King Boo, Chlortles the Gengar, and a random ghost type pokemon) So which one do you like the best?
"What is that white orb-thing? You call that a ghost? Pah! Lemme see that other picture. Ah, yeah. So this is that male Gengar you were advertising? Yeah, I could work with that. Assuming he's got a good personality."
(Show her picture of Luigi) This guy is literally afraid of everything why haven't you tried scaring him yet?
"Too easy, too easy! I got standards, y'know?"
"And that's it for our Pokemon questions - so we're going to bring them backstage and get them set up for the grand finale! But first, it's time to make sure Corva's up for round 2!" Anna waits until Corva's Pokemon are taken off-stage by a few assistants. The Cofagrigus is brought back out and Anna takes a place at its side. "Alright, everyone, let's get a round of applause!" She taps the side of the coffin-monster and it opens up.
Corva is standing inside. She's back in her usual white dress, but it's stained with several blood-red patches. She stands stock-still before slowly falling forward and collapsing to the ground.
"Very funny, Corva," Anna says. "We tested this thing on more than 3 dozen interns to make sure it was safe. Come on, Corva." Anna's eyes widen. "...Wait, that's... real blood?" She stoops down and places a finger on Corva's neck.
"AH!" Corva screams.
"...Gah," Anna pretends to be surprised. "Corva. Where did this blood come from?"
"Corva hears that question a lot! People usually don't like the answer." Corva jumps up. Other than her dress, she still has those inhibitor bracelets on. For some reason, the only other thing she's wearing is a pair of blindingly white socks. "That was fun! Corva wants one."
"You thought that was fun, eh? Well, ready for something even more fun?" Anna asks.
"What!?"
"We're going to summon a demon. At least, we were going to, but we don't have a sacrifice prepared. Corva, do you know anyone who might be interested in being a sacrifice for a creepy ritual?"
Corva smiles like a schoolgirl that's just been asked to prom.
