Tm07 hail

Pokemon Asks: TMs (ORAS) - Accepting! TM07:Hail - What bad habits do you have?

"...Bein' too cool?"

A beat.

"For real tho', uhh. I pick at my nails, 'n I drink sometimes, I guess? Bi' o' a people pleaser, too. Workaholic... 'n I don' get enough sleep. Usually, anyway."

Okay we'll stop there for now.

he flares out and/or wiggles his cheek fins when he gets upsetti...

"...No worries scamp, I'm good." Not more hurt than he already was, thankfully.

"Aw shit, he's hurt!!" Clo panics as he sees Archie on the ground.

@wingbeatz (Maxie) asked:    ❝ YOU !! ❞ uh oh, Maxie looks mad ( nothing new there ), and he's lunging forward to pointedly jab an extended index finger at the other man. ❝  i've emailed you twice in the last three weeks about a project with no reply. i thought, hm, maybe Archie is finally dead and i'm finally free of him. but here you are after all!! so are you ignoring me ?? ❞ 

"...Since when 're ya in Alola."

He's finally able to go outside for short periods of time again after his injuries. Finally able to use his legs again, and stay in human form for a bit... and then he runs into this guy.

Archie doesn't seem intimidated at all by the finger pointed at him, and instead just stares Maxie down. My guy this is the Malasada shop line.

"Can it wait? I can order in a mo'."

"Thank ya."

He might sound sarcastic here, and maybe he is a tiny bit (he hasn't forgotten their first interaction), but he's also kinda grateful for a distraction right now. Archie sits up a little, blanket wrapped around his shoulders.

"So... I've gotta say, you've got a nice team goin' here. Real good people. Feels like a family." He misses that. A lot.

Oh this COCK.

"...fine."

He's sitting down. Arms crossed, practically slouched on the nearest chair, giving him a sign as to say 'let's get this shit going'.

"Alri', alriiii', calm down there scamp-- We'll talk through the door."

"I can explain...?" Can he really now-- "Err-- The fish tail, I mean."

Oh this isn't bad at all! Good good good the guy who almost flooded Hoenn is here! WHY THE FUCK IS HE A FIIISH--

"WE CAN TALK THROUGH THE DOOR.

Aughhhh…!

archie muse is high rn so like this for a starter! ))

"Whatevs, hmm? Heh."

"Gotcha, scamp. I won't splash everywhere. Just a li'l bit."

Ah. What's this sinking feeling? It's a good thing PJ can't see him right now, 'cause he looks like he wants to cry.

He hates people seeing him less tough than he acts. He's supposed to be the strong one here.

But he's been hiding the severity of his injuries pretty well. Or maybe he's just used to it with his many visits to the depths? This is not his first rodeo, but it doesn't get easier as he gets older.

"Ya know where t' find me if ya need me, yeah? I'll be here. See ya-- Or well, talk t'ya later, maybe."

A quiet, yet very emotional groan later: "yea no duh. Of course I gotta."

...he'll probably involve Plumeria too. For some reason he doesn't think the Boss would go nuclear right there and then, but at least she could calm him down? Or... at least they could discuss about this whole situation????? Fuck's sake.

"I mean. Skulls have no issues with Aqua." just he does "If you were a Rocket or one of the Kalosians I'd understand but--"

...but it's still scary, right? It's still scary.

"...whatevs."

WHAAATEVS!!!

"Don't... splash everywhere???"

THIS IS FUCKING WEIRD.

changed the blog theme to something else for now so my pages are accessible ))
