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

“So, you had not actually signed us up for the Researchers Guild, did you?” Lexi, a Ralts who had a strange mark under her eye, accused.

“No, but I know you would not have helped if I had not lied to you, ” Connor, a litwick that had gotten Lexi to help him to get into the guild.

Lexi and Connor had been good friends and had recently joined the Researchers guild and were looking around the main halls. Lexi and Connor tuned a corner; a crowd of people was blocking the hallway, "Ohhh... Excuse me, pardon me, Leader's Assistant comin' through... C'mon guys, can’t you have your little meeting thing somewhere that isn't blocking a hallway? 'scuse me, sorry, jeez..." Lexi and Connor over heard. Some one said as the crowed seem to budge slightly before a Flygon with a Large pile of thick scrolls and a blueprint tube on her back eventually passed through, she was bumped by someone who was moving back into the group.

It happened quickly, the Flygon missteped and papers went flying and she fell quite hard onto the floor. Someone chuckled and the group left. Lexi stepped forward and grabbed a paper, “Come on Connor lets help.”

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

“We just registered, although I didn’t want to join in the first place.” Lexi glared at Connor who was standing near.

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

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

“I’m Lexi and he is Connor” Lexi pointed at Connor

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

“No, we are from town I own… USED to own a bookstore in town,” Lexi explained feeling a twinge of pain when she thought about the recent events with Regigigas that happened to hit her house in his rampage. Lexi thinking about her past realized that she had been in this situation before and realized that she might be here for a while.

"Really? I'm not an Andalusst native myself, but I figured I'd stick around. Anyway, now that you're here and you've been registered as a team, what name did you pick?"

“Lexicon”

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

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

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

“Well a little while ago I was heading out to get some food when Connor here told me something was happening and had signed us up for the guilds. While I was telling him I did not want to join my house was hit with an attack, that is when I decided to help rather reluctantly.” Lexi explained while Kali Listened Intently her earlier cheerful expression changing to one of thoughtful consideration.

"Wow, that's quite a tale! Not many Pokémon come through here with a story like that. Seems like everyone in the Guilds has a driving force behind what they do, and some reasons are... well, better than others."

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

“im good with talking with people, and Connor here likes to read a lot of books and knows a few things when he is not poking at things. We both are fairly inexperienced”

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

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

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

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

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

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

“well that was interesting, I swear I remember this sort of scenario before I’m not sure where though. Connor its time to go,” Lexi and Connor continued their exploration of the Guildhall.
