tomorrow im slapping Pokémon Crossing away from archie... ))
TM12:Taunt - Share some trash talk/pick a fight with someone.
Pokemon Asks: TMs (ORAS) - Accepting!
"Hey. Come closer."
Yeah Faba you're the target I'm afraid.
Idly moving about a rubber Ducklett in the tub with his hand.
Well, he's seated now. Ugh, he hates this. He's supposed to be the tough one here.
"Thanks... I'll b' alri' from here."
"H-here, lemme help ya up," he rushes over to help the merman up and to a seat.
There's people staring at them now. At least they slowly return to their meals when Maxie calms down a tad.
"Thanks."
Archie orders, though his choices are limited to only a handful of options due to his stomach's sensitivities. But hey, at least they make gluten and lactose free malasada nowadays. It's still fried, but... hopefully it wouldn't be too bad. He adds a regular, cinnamon sugar coated malasada to the order for Maxie.
When he receives the two doughy treats, he promptly shoves Maxie's into his hands.
"Let's walk and talk."
Cue him just walking off. No need for people listening in. When they're away from the busy streets, he finally speaks up.
"My phone was busted. Didn't have materials to fix it up until today." He holds up a little bag with spare parts. "This is actually the first day I'm outside on my own in months."
❝ since when— ❞ he snaps again. ❝ i'm a volcanologist! i study volcanoes! use your head! ❞
but ‘since when’? one week ago. only within the last year has Maxie finally been permitted to leave Hoenn, and for research and collaboration purposes only. so here he was now, in Alola, to learn more during the next several weeks before returning to the strict oversight awaiting back home.
the running into Archie bit was entirely unintentional.
❝ can it wait?! ❞ incredulous, the Magma leader's tone remains sharp, irritated. yet, after a second's pause, the accusatory finger is lowered and Maxie scoffs. ❝ you've already kept me waiting for three weeks, i can wait a few more minutes … ❞
ultramarine — fractal man, you know for the off chance that mer-archie gets to have a good time and not fight for his life out there
OOO THIS IS A VIBE
also it's so funny cause I was drawing angst as u sent this oop ))
"If ya dare come closer... Or are ya too scared?"
Hm. He really feels like chomping now.
...this could get interesting, actually.
"We're bold today, are we, fishbreath?"
