"--Okay??" Well, she's off... So he tosses the bag to the side of the bed again. Now he can only hope for the best.

"Nope! No money required ! I will be right back! I will see what I can get!"

With that she was off like a zubat out of hell.

Shes not here yet but flower emoji sapphire?

SEND “ ✿ ” FOR 2 HEADCANONS FOR OUR MUSES’ RELATIONSHIP.

Archie is probably like some weird uncle to Sapphire despite everything that happened. Takes her on fishing / diving trips and the like.

Sapphire knows about the merfolk dealio. I feel like Archie told her after the team disbanded.

Ah. He's the owner. Good to know.

"Cool women?" Interesting. "An' I prefer the term merfolk."

While he'd rather shout, it seems unwise to do so right now. Because of his injuries, but also because he'd rather not be kicked out all hurt without a place to stay. So he'd try his best to be civil.

"...The name's Archie."

No need to lie. It'd probably bite him in the ass, anyway. Archie attempts to sit up a little to see the other better, but quickly abandons the idea when yep, that hurts like a motherfucker.

"An' yerself?"

"I'm the owner of this shithole!!!!!"

He never paid a single dime to be the de-facto owner, but so far nobody tried to evict them so we're good.

"And the nice lady usually brings home cool women, not. Fish men."

A scoff, a quick shrug. Whatever, he doesn't feel like starting a yelling match with the backup singer of the Mermaid Melody. Still doesn't mean he'll act any less aggressive for the time being. Betta fish kinda behavior, to stay in theme with this bullshit.

"Is princess Ariel gonna introduce himself, or..?"

"Well, that's good. I feel like I hear stories 'bout them fuckin' people up all the time."

Tapu were weird like that. Fickle, as some would say. "I met Jirachi once. Still got the picture 'n everythin'."

“— yeah. That was me.”

It’s always so weird when people know who they are. It’s something that Ree knows that other people know about, but…

“— I only met bulu once. An’ that was by accident mostly. But he didn’t like, hurt me or nothing.”

"...Why the fuck do ya have that?"

kinda wanna give archie a more spooky / monster like form for like. deep sea purposes iunno ))

"I am wearin' it, yeaAAAAHHH--"

"MATE THAT'S NO' THE SPEED LIMIT--"

Okay why did he agree to join this person in this vehicle of death. He's regretting it so badly right now. People can probably hear him scream from streets away at this point.

"I'LL WALK--"

Vicious just grinned and he settled into the driver's seat and started the vehicle. "Glad to hear we are understanding each other. Do make sure your seatbelt is on." It was a fair warning in his books before the car sped off, he was driving way faster than he should, he had no issue driving at that speed, and he was used to out-running cops nd whatnot. He wondered how much his new companion would freak out if he admitted he was half blind.

He's about to say something, but that'd totally ruin the moment, so he closes his mouth again.

Still, his expression probably says enough. He's literally pouting like a sore loser. If it weren't for these wounds...

Archie huffs, but soon enough he's pulled back in, the marking causing him to let out a groan. He feels a little useless, though, being stuck without much movement options. Maybe they could have another round when he was feeling better. Wait what?

The Aqua opts to pull Guzma closer, one hand roughly cupping his face and tugging him into another bitey smooch.

Yeah, nah. We're not moving anymore. As soon as Archie dared to try and get back on top, the same hand that until then was busy holding the former Aqua's jaw moved on his chest, all while its twin still tried to lift his shirt, making sure he wouldn't try anything weird.

Just as he realizes that, all things considered, he won that little match, Guzma finally dares to smirk, breaking the kiss with the umpteenth bite just to hiss at the scratches on his back, breathing against the other's lips before once again pushing himself against neck, leaving yet another mark on it.

At this point, he might as well keep on playing this game, yeah?

"Yeah, with like, what phone? Pretty sure I lost mine down in the ocean somewhere."

Wouldn't be the first time. He'll just get a new one. Gonna have to go through the pain of upgrading it to be depth proof again, though... Will have to tinker with that later.

"I'm mostly stuck in 'fish' mode righ' now." Why was he going along with that term. "... 's a lot of energy t' stay shifted when injured. I'd rather use it to heal, which already takes for-fucking-ever. Who the fuck nerfed us like tha'."

"Yeah? And it's a copyrighted name for Skulls only."

The fuck kinda question is that. That's his sis. And Admin. And bestie. Of course he's going around calling her nicknames and nothing else. Is he fucking stupid or something?

"...and I don't feel like explainin'. Just google it." a beat "...fish google it. The fandom wiki is surprisingly very well made, actually--

Dunno man are you stuck in fish mode or not?!"

"Where's all the fresh fish in this house..."
