Samus wasn't concerned at first of the bustle caused by her and the other two veterans. In fact, she pretty much expected it wherever she went; a little chattering here and there became second nature for her after the first tournament came to a close. And as for media coverage itself, it was more annoying yes, but the media always had a very great respect for the bounty hunter, only including her directly in an interview when in a group of fellow Smashers, and never asking her questions. So, when the reporters started to swarm her, she began to pray to, well, whatever gods you would consider for This World in hopes that it would be just the usual routine, and they would more or less leave her alone."Samus Aran! A moment of your time, if you don't mind?"Samus could feel her eye began to twitch uncontrollably as a very... eager reporter approached her. A very long line of swearing ensued, and Samus found herself grateful that her helmet was soundproof as she carefully clicked open the locks on her Power Suit's helmet, before removing it to look at the reporter with a fake smile through gritted teeth. She could tell there would be no way she would be getting away without saying something to her. She'd better give a good answer. "I'd ask them how they stay cool wearing latex in the summertime?" Just give them an answer they like and they'd leave you alone.

Samantha Bee smiled when she saw the helmet come off; it was the smile of a predator, devious and full of smug triumph.
"Actually, that brings me to our second question," She spokee without missing a beat, tilting the microphone back towards her. "You see, the current style of the latex suits leaves the arms, legs, and midriff bare so as to let the skin breathe. Many of our viewers are wondering if you will be following this style in the next tournament." She tilted the microphone back towards Samus, waiting expectantly for an answer.

"Unfortunately," Samus began to reply, a growl starting to form itself as she spokee. "I have to wear this full body suit in order to use the Power Suit properly. The Zero Suit is designed to aid the Power Suit in keeping track of all my vital stats, as well as provide a means of further protection from extreme heat and cold." Samus rested her helmet on her hip, her grip on it tightening to the point that her knuckles were beginning to turn white. And though it was impossible to notice, her suit just happened to be telling her that her blood pressure was rising with every moment, as if to illustrate Samus' point.

Noticing Zero's signal for the real line, Brendan nodded and stood to his feet. As he slowly approached the robot warrior, he searched the crowded area for May. With all the crazy fans and reporters around, he feared things will get hectic, and May will join in. He hoped to get this over with in a hurry. "May, get over here! We found the line!!" May perked up at his voice, just in time before she was about to ask some old rabbit directions. "ALRIGHT!!!" May raced through the crowd without care...not even when she when she blasted between Samus and the reporter, probably knocking down the reporter. "CUSE ME!!!!!"

"Pikachu!" Pikachu enthusiastically greeted Peach, waving a little arm up in her direction. Pikachu smiled happily at the 'entertainment' Samus and the reporters gave him. If there was a time where he was genuinely glad no one but other Pok?mon could understand him, it was when the REPORTERS CAME AROUND. The last time someone had tried to interview him, he just said 'I like pie' over and over again until they went away. Good times.

Blues just glared in annoyance at the collected newspeople. At least they were leaving him alone... he HATED reporters. But the were pestering Samus instead. Great.

The demon prince started cutting in front of people up to Pikachu's position, pointing a sword in their faces as he went along. "Move, make way for Laharl peons!" He then came up to Pikachu and Peach, immediately jumping back after seeing her body. "GAH! Not another one?!" He pointed at Peach. "What is it with curvy women around here?!"

"But surely you cannot deny that fashion was involved in its design," Samantha Bee prodded. "After all, those shades of pastel blue accentuate your eyes so well!" [dice=6] Suddenly there was a blur of motion in front of her, and Samantha was knocked backwards. "HEAVENS--!" She shrieked as she stumbled back into the crowd, which rebounded to shove her back upright. Staggering to her feet, she glared in the direction of the girl who'd bum-rushed her. "HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING YOU LITTLE BRAT!" She yelled in a voice that lacked the sickeningly-sweet charm she'd been using so far. Turning to her cameraman with a huff, she asked, "We can edit that out, right?" He gave her a thumbs-up, and she turned back to Samus, putting the honey back into her tone again. "Let's move on then, shall we? I'd hate to waste this opportunity to find out more about you Ms. Aran, since you so rarely give interviews and all." She checked a notepad that she'd been holding in her free hand. "Upon first hearing of your exploits on Planet Zebes, many people thought you were a male android. How did you feel about that?" "Stick close to me," Zero muttered to the Pokémon Trainers as May arrived at their side. The last thing he needed was for them to get separated in the crowd; he had a feeling that it would take all three of them together to restrain Samus once the clueless reporter really cheesed her off, which was looking more and more likely. Speaking of the crowd, it wasn't budging an inch. Zero was trying to be polite about getting through it and was quickly learning that such tactics were futile. With a suppressed grunt of annoyance he began elbowing his way through in much the same way Samantha had earlier.[rand=5297294277685262292502891760587866584572137126229420820102947257]

"I preferred it that way, you'd be surprised how much harder some of my bounty's became once they found out I was actually a woman." Samus looked straight at the camera. "Men are perverts kids, remember that."

"Yeah, these famous people are just a magnet for trouble." Brendan said, afraid to even leave the group. People prone to fights...he's not sure a No-Smash area will stop them. May rocked her heels, too excited to get in line and get her name on the board. But this crowd was just too thick, and many of these people were pretty tall; a little girl like her would easily be unnoticed. But May had an idea on how to plow through these people. "Hey leave it to me!!" Grinning wildly, May held up her poke-ball that contained Lairon. "Lairon, I choose you!!!" "MAY! NO!!" Too late, as light exploded on the ground where may slammed the ball at. The steel 'rhino' grew to his original and large size, making some of the people back away. The girl hopped on her Pokémon. "One side, folks! Lady with a baby coming through!" Not even Lairon was sure about being sent out like this, but he calmly walked through the crowd; the people just moved from his path. Brendan covered his face, afraid people will associate with her. He then muttered to Zero. "I...d-don't know her. She followed me home one day..." Again, he smacked his own forehead.

Pikachu grinned at Samus' response. He was never fooled about Samus' gender himself (hightened senses and everything), but that last sentence she said was... amusing. And Pikachu waved over Laharl once he noticed the crowd parting in panic for a pair of purple ponytails.

The boy robot just snerked at Samus' final comment, his arms remaining crossed. You'd think he'd be offended by the insult, except... he wasn't human, so why should he care?

The demon boy looked over at Samus, why was she the only one being interviewed. This got to Laharl quite a bit. "Hmph, whats so special about miss power suit over there?" Obviously Laharl didn't care about Samus' past adventures and victories, all he cared about was thinking of a way to steal the spotlight.

Samantha chose to tactfully ignore that last comment; her program mostly catered to women in their 20's to 30's, who could hardly be considered children. "Onto the next question then," she spokee instead. "During your extermination of the Metroid menace on Zebes, there were reports of an infant Metroid which imprinted on you as its mother. Did you ever consider formally adopting it as your child?" "..." Zero stared in shock as May released yet another of those exotic, otherworldly creatures. Were they Reploids? They didn't appear intelligent; mechaniloids, then? But they didn't have any obvious robotic parts...whoever created them must've been a master craftsman. Zero slowly walked behind the mammoth creature, taking advantage of the momentary space it provided to get through the crowd before it closed up again behind them. "Reminds me of a Cyber-Elf I once knew," He replied to Brandan.

Samus had gone silent with the reporter's next question for a moment before giving a very simple reply. "No comment."
