PASSERBY ANALYTICS #8

Survey #2, “Whats your favorite Bug-type Pokemon?”
“I've always had a particular fondness for Shedinja. They're so... strange. Otherworldly, even. How could someone not find themselves fascinated by such a creature?”

Survey #4, “If you could get a single word descriptor as a title, what would it be?”
“Oho, what a grand question! Now, were I a man predisposed to self-aggrandizing flattery, I would pick something rather grandiose, like the Almighty, or the Omnipotent, or some other such nonsense. But I, as a humble servant of Arceus, only seek to have Their will be done in this world. As such, I think I would like to be called the Anointed – I am but a mere man, but I possess the transcendent privilege of working in service of the divine.”

Survey #5, “What is your favorite instrument?”
“The cello! Can't play it myself, but it produces such a lovely and robust sort of sound.”

Survey #7, “If everything in the world were to suddenly change, what is the one and only thing you'd want to stay constant?”
“The never-ending grace and beneficence of my god.”

Survey #15, “What do you think of a god's relationship with their people? Can a god do wrong?”
“I suppose that depends entirely on which god you worship, doesn't it?

…

There is one god I have unwavering faith in. Other gods may be callous, may spurn their pitiful worshipers no matter how they may be praised and exalted, but there is one being in all of creation who loves us. Who understands us. And I believe that they would never abandon humanity, for they know quite uniquely of our plight.

I hope you might meet them someday. I hope you too might be enlightened by the knowledge of their unending love for us all.”

PASSERBY ANALYTICS #8

Survey #1, “Whats your favorite Hoenn spot?”
“Dewford's great! Kinda reminds me'a home, 'cept the beach is a helluva lot closer.”

Survey #6, “When was the last time you had fun?”
“Hell, not all that long ago -- got some drinks with a buddy a little while back, and that was a real good time.”

Survey #8, “How is your decorating sense? Do you have an eye for design?”
“I, uh, was told once that my taste in decor is some unholy mix of a frat bro and a jobless divorcee, so the answer's prob'ly 'no'.”

Survey #10, “If you were to be able to put down everything you were doing, no strings attached, all loose ends tied cleanly, what'd be a nice retirement plan? Any holiday destinations or a bucket list?”
“Oh! I always wanted ta go to Hau'oli City, but I think it's just cause'a the song -- hah! Beneath the glow of Hau'oli City liiiiights --”

Survey #12, “How do you get your caffeine?”
“Coffee, mostly, but I'm tryin' ta cut back these days. Doc says I got enough shit keepin' my heart rate and blood pressure up.”

Survey #13, “Do you think love can bloom even on a battlefield?”
“After some'a the battlefields I've been on? It ain't likely, but hell, love's a powerful thing, ain't it?”

"If you were to be able to put down everything you were doing, no strings attached, all loose ends tied cleanly, what'd be a nice retirement plan? Any holiday destinations or a bucket list?"

"I'm not sure, really... I'd probably at the very least take a trip back out to Johto, to visit my birthplace again. But I feel like I'd ultimately just, find somewhere quiet to settle down and live as a normal person, rather than linger amidst the chaos of Hoenn."

"What question do you yearn to find an answer to?"

"There's someone I'd like to better understand. To know better. I suppose one thing I could ask is, well... What do they really want, deep down?"

#1

"What is your favorite Hoenn spot?"

I like hanging out at my best pal's club. There's good fucking music, great booze, and hot chicks as far as the eye can see. If you mean nature wise, I used to like Fortree.

#2

"What's your favorite Bug-type Pokemon?"

What fucking weirdo's into bugs? If you were holding a gun to my head, I'd say Lokix.

#3

"Do you have any allergies? If so, what are they?"

I'm allergic to whiny ass cry babies. That and shellfish.

#4

"If you could get a single word descriptor as a title, what would it be?

Yesterday when I snorted a line off Candi. With an I.

#7

"If everything in the world were to suddenly change, what is the one and only thing you'd want to stay constant?"

Music.

#8

"How is your decorating sense? Do you have an eye for design?"

I'm an industrial kind of guy. I have more than a leather couch in my living room.

#9

"What would you name your kids? or what are your favorite names?"

I'd rather fucking die. But you guys probably expect me to say Sophia. Like giving someone HER name will ever bode fucking well.

#10

"If you were to be able to put down everything you were doing, no strings attached, all loose ends tied cleanly, what'd be a nice retirement plan? Any holiday destinations or a bucket list?"

I'm already retired baby. I haven't gotten around to seeing Kalos.

#11

"What physical part of you do you find the most attractive?"

All of it? Duh.

That shit will fry your brain.

What the hell you weirdoes use this information for.

#1

"What is your favorite Hoenn spot?"

I absolutely adore Oldale. It's a charming, beautiful town. I've never felt so at home.

#2

"What's your favorite Bug-type Pokemon?"

I am not sure it's professional of me to pick a favorite Pokemon. But, if I had to show favoritism, I might say Butterfree. Their wings are absolutely beautiful, and their migration are truly a sight to behold.

#3

"Do you have any allergies? If so, what are they?"

Do mental allergies count? If not, I'm currently allergy-free.

#4

"If you could get a single word descriptor as a title, what would it be?

I feel like this is a trick question. You can't say anything too egotistically, but I doubt self-depreciation is the goal either. I'd like to be seen as benevolent.

#5

"What is your favorite instrument?"

Musical I am not. Quite the opposite in fact. I do think harps make beautiful music, however.

#6

"When was the last time you had fun?"

That Mantine surfing event put a smile on my face. I just wish my happiness wasn't always so bittersweet.

#7

"If everything in the world were to suddenly change, what is the one and only thing you'd want to stay constant?"

My family. That's sort of a cheap answer, isn't it? I would want people to remain kind.

#8

"How is your decorating sense? Do you have an eye for design?"

I would probably put it at a 7 out of 10? I'm really shy with my decorating. I would hate for someone to gouge their eyes out.

#9

"What would you name your kids? or what are your favorite names?"

I named my eldest Michaela. It's the Alto Maran spelling. I would like the next one, if there is one, to be more Galarian in origin. If it's a girl, I would like to reference my Mantine's name someow.

#10

"If you were to be able to put down everything you were doing, no strings attached, all loose ends tied cleanly, what'd be a nice retirement plan? Any holiday destinations or a bucket list?"

I would feel so lost without my work. I would maybe visit and help out at sanctuaries across the world.

#11

"What physical part of you do you find the most attractive?"

I do not find any part of me attractive. But I rarely tak a look in the mirror these days.

#12

"How do you get your caffeine?"

I love tea.

#13

"Do you think love can bloom even on a battlefield?"

I think it's a weird place to fall in love, but it's not impossible. I'd prefer understanding first.

#14

"What question do you yearn to find an answer to?"

How can we reach the understanding with Pokemon tat the ancient's have?

#15

What do you think of a god's relationship with their people? Can a god do wrong?

If I were a god (fat chance), I would want to be a servant to my people. Just like a police officer or a politician. I believe that everyone can err, and that those we hold in high regard are no different.

Hey, this one's me!! And it's gotta be Reiner.

What do you think of a god's relationship with their people? Can a god do wrong?

Gods do not think in the same way we do, much like how the person sitting next to you could be thinking something that you would reckon is wrong and completely bonkers to think about. They can make mistakes, their interference can sometimes lead people astray. But at the end of the day, if people are not strong enough to properly deal with the consequences of forming a relation with gods, then they are not ready for it.

There's this really low-traffic hot spring off the beaten path in Lavaridge. I go there every other weekend at this point. Old people have some pretty cool secrets.

#2

"What's your favorite Bug-type Pokemon?"

If I didn't say Pinsir, I would take a Guillotine to the head.

#3

"Do you have any allergies? If so, what are they?"

I'm pretty sensitive to pollen. I spend most of spring in tears. It's why I can't own most grass types.

#4

"If you could get a single word descriptor as a title, what would it be?

I would like to be referred to as sensible. Common sense and a sense of decency are few and far between these days.

#5

Yakuza and I just knocked out a B-movie horror marathon. It's been ages since I watched Lake Placid.

I think my apartment looks alright. Probably too many rock and movie posts for a normal person there. And the furniture's kind of mismatched. I can't afford to be picky.

I doubt I'll ever have kids. Not unless I adopt again. But I really do like names like Ripley. Nice, simple names that reference bad-ass women.

Answered ICly, in person

Blossom is called upon to answer the survey while on a break from the Ranger duties that have brought her to Rustboro. She fills the margins of the survey with flowers and other doodles; the more, the longer she's mulled over a question.

#1

"What is your favorite Hoenn spot?"

Oldale Town, but also anywhere outdoors.

#1

"What is your favorite Bug-type Pokemon?"

Swadloon.

#3

"Do you have any allergies? If so, what are they?"

Yes, unfortunately. I'm allergic to celery.

#4

"If you could get a single word descriptor as a title, what would it be?

Something about giving myself a title like this doesn't feel right, but for the survey's sake… Actually, I can't think of anything that sounds good.

#5

"What is your favorite instrument?"

It is difficult to choose between the flute and the harp. I find both really soothing.

#6

"When was the last time you had fun?"

Today. I went out on a morning walk with my partner Pokémon before starting the day, and the scenery was just lovely.

#7

"If everything in the world were to suddenly change, what is the one and only thing you'd want to stay constant?"

I was torn between my bonds with my loved ones and nature continuing to thrive, but I believe nature would be able to recover even without my wish, so… I will be just a little selfish.

#8

"How is your decorating sense? Do you have an eye for design?"

I don't know about that, to be honest. I'm pleased with my decorating sense, but taste is so subjective. Though, I suppose that taking the time to decorate means I have some sense of it, yes.

#9

"What would you name your kids? Or what are your favorite names?"

All my favorite names are botanical, but it would feel off if I named my children the same as my Pokémon, for all that I love them. So… Floral names with a modern twist would do nicely, like Lillia and Gladio. Aside from that, you can't go wrong with classics like Anne-Marie.

#10

"If you were to be able to put down everything you were doing, no strings attached, all loose ends tied cleanly, what'd be a nice retirement plan? Any holiday destinations or a bucket list?"

I would like nothing more than to go home, breathe the cool mountain air and see the windmills again.

#11

"What physical part of you do you find the most attractive?"

I'm not too sure… My smile, if that counts.

#12

"How do you get your caffeine?"

Tea, or café au lait.

#13

"Do you think love can bloom even on a battlefield?"

I don't know, but I certainly hope so! ♡

#14

"What question do you yearn to find an answer to?"

Is it possible to achieve world peace?

#15

What do you think of a god's relationship with their people? Can a god do wrong?

The relationship between gods and their people is sacred. I worship nature itself, the delicate balance between life and death, as much as I do its embodiments Xerneas and Yveltal. We are all part of a perfect and delicate equilibrium. You might as well ask me if a tree can do wrong, or a landslide.

#16

"Do you have a suggestion for a future survey question? Please submit it below."

What is your favorite flower and why? If you are familiar with flower language, do you think its meaning suits you?
