"I'd say hi to them, I s'pose."
If they wanted to see him, sure. In the end, this talk's just making him dizzy. And kinda warm? He's sweating bullets-- Ah. Fever's back. Yippie. No wonder he's being so vulnerable with this other Team Leader.
"...I want t'be a better guy. An' I think I am, if even jus' a li'l bit, but..." He leans back against the backboard of the bed. Whew. Dizziness isn't going away.
"If they're thriving withou' me... Who am I to interfere 'gain? They deserve t'move on from me, and all the shit I did."
…shiiit, fuck you, man. Don't get relatable. Frowning, Guzma lifted an eyebrow as the other kept on rambling about needing a good beating and and past adventures with his Team.
"Well fuck. Ya ain't even gonna tell 'em hi, now?
I dunno. Nobody's forcin' ya apart, right."
Oh, how hypocritical of you, Guzma.
@intriguant started following Archie!
Wait he knows this guy. Not sure if he'd recognize him, though. Wouldn't surprise him if he did, and that's why he's tailing after him right now.
"...Can I help ya?"
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?
@viciousrocket asked: “ please don’t question my driving or parking skills . you couldn’t even begin to understand the level i’m on . ”
"I think I can definitely understand what level yer on."
He doesn't like cars too much. They're a weird human invention. Boats were much better, even if he technically didn't need one himself.
"Just get us where we need to be."
@livingshinycharm asked: " HEY YOU!" She is there, but no fight, she brought him a cupcake.
"Finally someone who doesn't wanna fight!"
He's eyeing the cupcake, but...
"...What's the ingredient list?"
Rotates merfolk powers...
I feel like there's slight differences between different types of merfolk ofc but here's what Archie (and most merfolk) can do:
Manipulate water; move it around, levitate it, increase or decrease it's temperature, turn it to ice, evaporate it etc
Being immune to having his mind read by Psychics, be it Pokémon or people
Telekinesis.
Becoming invisible for a limited amount of time.
Shapeshift between forms (human and merfolk)
Enhanced voice / 'singing' capabilities. Think sonic screeches and siren song. Siren song gives them the ability to manipulate people's thoughts and actions through words (or singing if you're extra like that I guess). Most merfolk agree to never use that ability, and it's highly frowned upon in most circles. Merfolk who regularly travel to the depths have build up a tolerance / resistance for it though. (I HC the depths of the ocean are extremely hazardous / unfriendly and therefore super dangerous. Doesn't stop some brave souls from wandering there though.)
Enhanced senses underwater.
Can understand Water-types
They're one of the slower healers among supernatural beings. It makes venturing into dangerous situations extra risky.
