"Nah Dude, I Jus' Enjoy Me A Good Fight Sometimes."

There's a thud on the other side of the door. Archie raises an eyebrow, but decides not to inquire.

Crisis somewhat averted, though? Not that he lied about anything, just-- He always feels so guilty whenever people recognize him. Fair enough, though. He did some awful things. "That's jus' how I was born. I'm a merfolk. An' I'm no' the only one either, not from the merfolk nor from whatcha call supernatural people."

"…I know, I--"

A groan, and he let himself fall down, his back pressed on the door. Being worried about a guy who almost ended the world and regretted his action was quite hypocritical for someone working for Guzma, huh…? Especially if he was dragged in there like most of the Skulls.

"…and, uhm.

The… tail, then?"

decided to draw his merfolk form finally sdfdsf ))

"Ya gonna rat me out, huh?"

There's a moment of silence on his side too, but then-- "BWAHAHA!!" Followed by an "Oof--" When will he learn that laughing this hard is still off limits. He can't help it, though.

"It's bound t' happen sooner rather than later. I'd prefer to tell him myself, but. I getcha. Yer loyal t' yer boss, and I love t'see it. Also, fridge time sounds awful." He's not sure what it means, but if the kid wanted to avoid it, it must suck.

"Can't stop ya either. Kinda stuck like this. Jus' hope I don't get thrown back 'cause I'd be done fer."

"Ah. Yeah. Of course.

Merfolk Aqua boss." another moment of silence "Former Aqua. Sure. Sorry. Okayyyy.

This is the worst life of his life. Taking a long, deep breath as he goes further down, ending on the floor, PJ crosses his arms, sighting as loudly as he could.

"...you know I should, like-- tell the boss who you are, right? No 'cause he's cool and all but if he finds out he has an eco-terrorist in sis' bathtub and I knew all along I would end up on top of the fridge for weeks-"

@whereskymeetsea // Gameverse: "I think this went on for long enough, yeah?" For someone her age, who just ripped through an entire evil base, Sapphire seemed way too calm. She beamed with the pride only a teenager could have, a PokèBall tossed in the air just to get caught once more in her left hand, the right on her hips. "What will it be, captain? Do you want to quit the easy way or the fun way?:

Her being here meant one single thing. His entire base got wiped.

And yet, he's grinning. No, laughing. His laughter bellows through the room, despite his grunts and admins being unable to fight. He's the last hurdle now. The only one who can protect this plan of his.

"Ya think so? But it was jus' gettin' fun!" Archie reaches for his belt clip. "O' course we're doing this the fun way! Who do ya take me fer??"

smiles.

"Oh, neat."

He trusts Plumeria with this kind of stuff. She had shown a lot of knowledge about this kind of thing, after all.

"I'll take some, then. Feel free to retrieve 'em whenever, though." They don't care if it hurts? Archie is usually the same, honestly. He could tell them it's not the best thing to do, but. That'd be super hypocritical of him. "...Mind givin' it t'me?" A beat. "Or ya could toss it t'me, I guess."

Didn't wanna make them uncomfortable. He can read the room. "My name's Archie, by the by."

“It’s fine. These are the same kind sis wanted to get you. I don’ think you’re allergic”

if he doesn’t want it, that’s fine, but… Ree is trying to do something nice. Despite their anxiety and knowing that this guy keeps picking fights with their dad and upset one of their best friends. They’re trying to be nice.

“I always got a stock up of stuff. I have enough for me for a while. Besides, I don’ care if it hurts. It just gets in my way sometimes.”

They’re not moving any closer.

don't fear the sea

fear what lives inside

"...Does tha' mean I'm eatin' yer dinner?"

Now he feels bad. He was already shoveling the sashimi into his mouth and everything.

"I can save ya some."

She stuffed the cupcake partway in her mouth, making frosting get on her face.

"Oh!" She swallowed the bit she took " Kinda!I got it for later!"

She didn't even think twice about giving the food she bought to the other.

magic: does my muse have any other magical properties / abilities? 

for the merfolk… 

"Oh, yeah, loads o' 'em actually." He doesn't elaborate on what, but here's a few of them: - Telekinesis - Water manipulation - Siren song (really potent and a big no no to use. Kinda an unspoken rule in the merfolk world not to use it)

pondering...
