“Sigh…” Ah, he’s moping.

“I fear I may have hit a roadblock in my research…”

(Quick warning for some blood and injuries on the demon boi ^^)

(The bitchass demon hobbles in. He looks god awful, what the hell happened to him? His favourite top is ruined, his fingerless gloves are almost in tatters, and there's injuries and blood littering his body. His hair is also a mess. Did bro get attacked or something????)

[9/90 HP REMAINING]

Yo, Coleslaw. D'you have any Ibuprofen? I have a headache.

(Not even the experiments have started, and the demon is literally battered and looks like hell. How is he so nonchalant about his wounds????)

(Colress, believe it or not, has seen worse.

Although, that doesn’t stop him from gagging at the sight. Oh Arceus. How he hates, hates blood.

He takes another glance at them and and groans, hand on his queasy stomach).

Ugh. I would say that a headache is the least of your problems at this moment… 💧

Oh gods, the smell…

Hello, sir! I'm the Anonymous Interviewer. I'd like to ask a few nonsensical questions, if you don't mind? You can refuse to answer any of these, of course, and my apologies if they come off personal. -Why did you choose steel types to specialize in? Are they easier to work with, or did it just happen?

-I've asked Faba this, but I want to know your side of the story. How did you two meet? -I'm sure you get asked this a lot, but really, how DO you get your hair to stay like that?

-Will your research ever come to a stop? Will you ever have an answer you're satisfied with that just causes you to not want to continue your current field of research? If so, what do you think you'll do then? -Why are you so uncomfortable with physical contact? Thank you for your time, Dr. Colress! I totally won't be using your answers to compare with my universe's version of you. Byeeee!!! *poofs into a bunch of sparkles and disappears*

An interview? How fun!~

Well my scrupulous, anonymous friend, the answer to your first question is quite simple! Steel types are, according to my data and personal battling style, the strongest Pokémon type I could specialise in. They have more resistances than any other type and typically have high defence, which gives me ample time to “set up” my partners with various performance enhancing items. Their heavy defences also mean that outside of battle they are ideal to have around the lab, as they cannot be easily harmed by any… aha… accidents. All that aside— I also find them quite pleasing to the eye.

Asked Faba? About “us”? Have you now?~ I can just imagine his reaction. How amusing… mmm. He is a rather… private person, so you will excuse me if I do not go into detail about the development of our relationship. My circumstances, however, are as follows. I ran into some difficulty after Team Plasma disbanded, and in order to continue my work unbothered by the Interpol I requested the aid of my cousin, Lusamine. She graciously agreed, in return for my help on a particular project of hers. Far from an inconvenience was it for me to accept these conditions, and so after I relocated to Alola I began at once and in earnest. Unfortunately, her dear branch chief, who also happened to be the project lead, did not take too kindly to me at first. …At first. Ahh… romance has so often bored me, but I did so enjoy those early days… and beyond, naturally.

But, moving on…

My hair is braided with a telecommunications device (of sorts) of my own creation, allowing me to maintain access to the internet and communication networks even when I am in remote areas. As you can imagine, it’s quite essential to my work! The device itself is flexible and yet can also hold different positions, hence why I am able to bend the hair around my head in what is both a practical and stylish shape~

And, I do not imagine my research will ever cease. I purposefully chose my topic because of its broad nature and ambitious goal, in fact. If I should ever find a single, undisputed method of bringing forth the entirety of Pokémon’s power, however… well! My fascination with this world is never ending. I have no doubt that I would have little trouble selecting another avenue of research. If all else fails, I have my “anti-aging” project to keep me occupied until I can locate my next source of scientific curiosity!

Finally, I see you have saved the most personal for last, hm? Unfortunately, dear interviewer, it seems I am all out of time for you today. I must bid you good day!

[askachroma]

(Casually saunters in. Oh fuck, what's bro up to now? /j)

So, I've heard you wanted to study me, huh?

I just know things, trust, I totally don't snoop around and stuff-

Yes.

(Does he look a bit twitchy? …He looks a bit twitchy).

Was that. Perhaps… an offer?

*Doctor walks up to Colress, holding what seemed to be a handmade Pokedex, made from salvaged scraps from other Pokedexs to craft a new one. He seemed a bit sad, but was trying not to show it, holding it out to Colress. In all honesty, he'd come here mostly to hear somebody be actually -happy- to see him*

"Look Papa Colress, I made a Pokedex!"

Hm?

(He seems distracted, but does look up from his work. His eyes light up a little upon hearing Doctor’s words…)!

You made a Pokédex?

Allow me to examine your… creation?

[askachroma]

Even I am becoming troubled by a certain… presence. The idea that such an entity is roaming freely in my lab…… without my getting to formally study it— is utterly lamentable.

[askachroma]

Merry Crisis, Coleslaw. :3

(* You have been gifted an OMORI-looking Faba plush.)

Ahahaha~

How delightful. I will take… good care of it…

(Who knows what he’s plotting).

// Replying to Coda’s gift!

(He takes the present, unwraps it…)

Mnh? Oh! My, my, how thoughtful. I appreciate the gesture, truly.

(Colress tucks the notepad under his arm, before having his attention stolen by Reuniclus.

And, what have we here… aha! A golden nugget!! This is most excellent, fantastic, indeed! And here I was, wondering how I would procure some of the material for the circuitry I am working on…

Good work, both of you! Both of these will be of great use.
