Vinny's pen worked swiftly, transcribing the CEO of Morpheus' words with practiced ease. He might not have been a top journalist, but he had experience.. And also no recording software, which meant he did a lot of writing. His penmanship was surprisingly nice as well, given the speed he was going. Not that anyone would notice that since his method would be to transcribe from the journal to his independently hosted website.

As for the answer itself.. It was good. Practiced good, she definitely had media training, but that wasn't surprising. What really itched at him was the mention of the Prince.. Something Vinny really wanted to pursue further, but decided to drop as to not offend. She already seemed to barely want to do this, he didn't want to imply she was second fiddle to the Prince. He was maybe a little shiesty, but he wasn't a jerk! Mostly. [b][color=ed1c24]"That's a lot of faith you have in this batch of trainers! Since I'm participating myself, I'll do my best not to disappoint. Though don't go putting any money on me winning big!"[/color][/b] Vinny said in a friendly tone as he finished writing down her words, and a few notes. In his experience, harmless chit-chat helped an interview feel more pleasant and less like an interrogation.

[b][color=ed1c24]"Since I'm certain you've got a packed schedule and want to enjoy the festivities before you're called away, I'll try to fire off a couple consecutive questions, then I'll be out of your hair, promise."[/color][/b] Overstaying the welcome was a big no-no when you were a guest, and Vinny wanted to part on good terms. Plus.. if he didn't get to those stands soon, they'd probably run out of Roto-Phones! Interviews came first, but if he could have his cake and eat it too, all the better! Who wanted to have cake and [i]not[/i] eat it? That'd be crazy.

[b][color=ed1c24]"Firstly, on the subject of the Dreamlink, I'm sure people are dying to know.. Currently valued as an fantastic piece of technology but a luxury item, there have been rumors that things are in motion to improve the accessibility of the product. Would you be willing to offer any comments on that?"[/color][/b] 

The question that every interviewer would probably ask, but it was for good reason! It was what people wanted to know the most. Vinny's intellectual curiosity was great, but the masses cared far more for questions that actually concerned them. And people wanted Dreamlink, no two ways about it.

[b][color=ed1c24]"And to sate my readers curiosity-"[/color][/b] 

All ten monthly readers! Ten whole people who ate up his content like it was grade-A chow! 

[b][color=ed1c24]"-There have been attempts to interact with Pokemon dreams made by the Devon Corporation, and Unova's own home grown scientists. But your company has gone a different direction, and found great success in the field of human dreams. Is there any connection in Morpheus to the Devon Company or the creators of the C-Gear? And regardless, does Morpheus have any intentions of exploring the prospect of Pokemon dreams? Or are you more than happy sticking to the dreams of us humans?"[/color][/b]

Technically the second was a bit of a two for one special, but Vinny needed to ask it. The first part, potential connections, shared inspirations, former co-workers- what have you, it made for great clickbait fodder. The second part was more of a serious question, and prompted Ms. Stern to speak on what was next for Morpheus now that they had found significant success. The question was, did she care to share? And arguably more importantly, did he manage to successfully get through the interview while giving a good impression?
