019. [Text/Action for Mahogany Town, and one other thing.]

[TEXT]

Does anyone know if the hideous creatures permeating this region of late are deceased humans, deceased Pokémon, or some ungodly combination of both?

It's nothing I had ever given thought to before, nor will your answer affect my thoughts on them. I'm merely curious about what it is that I'm repeatedly destroying, and whether I have something unfortunate to look forward to if this place decides that I'm the lucky person who dies on a permanent level out here.



[ACTION]

[Well, a very brief time after that text hits the network, it seems Kimblee has escaped whatever Ghost-free location he was in before.

Kimblee hasn't taken kindly to the ghosts here; he never has, really, and the fact that they're now in the cities isn't doing anything to help with that little issue. However, he's also never taken kindly to the idea that he simply can't do something, or the knowledge that some things are simply beyond his physical and mental boundaries, and it seems that today he's finally reached something of a breaking point.

He has Dorian out with him today, as well as Ramsay; he's loaded the latter with TMs, taking full advantage of the fact that Absols can learn Damn Near Everything. Kimblee himself seems to have decided that he has absolutely no fucks left to give; people in the general vicinity of Mahogany Town this evening may notice a figure dressed in white wandering through the fog, looking vaguely like one of the undead himself. His motions are tightly controlled, the orders he's giving his Pokémon clipped and tense; he's also trying to act like every time he comes across one of the Ghost-types everywhere he doesn't promptly flail a little and overkill the hell out of the poor level 20s with Fire Blast from a level 100 Fire-type.

He seems...determined (it's just a very skittish sort of determined, okay) to find and destroy every damn ghost in this town, judging from the flames everywhere; the local ghost population likely has no idea what it did to have quite this much hell rained down on it, but there certainly is a lot of hell going on here, goddamn.

...he really doesn't like ghosts, okay. At least they can't be harmed with Explosion, else this would be much, much worse.]




[PRIVATE TEXT TO EMMY ALTAVA]

Miss Altava,

I apologize for the abruptness of the message, but I need to speak to you immediately; get in contact with me, if you can?

I honestly don't know which of the three of those is scarier.

Are they chasing you?

I suppose so. I just don't like waiting for it. There are so many wh are going to be sad and embarrassed.
snapandscoot: (well that wasn't the right answer)

You don't have to apologize for anything, Mr Kimblee; how can I help you? Are you alright?

Used Gypsy magic to draft the dead into the forces of Cobra. The idea of having an invulnerable fighting force seemed like a good idea at the time.

[How was he supposed to know that the dead get angry about things like that?]

I wonder why that is.

They haven't entered the house before now. Besides, we have plenty of security.

[His Pokémon are stationed outside the house to ward off attacks, though they haven't had much work to do.]

Come on, Kimblee.

[Archer's voice softens with that, and he approaches the alchemist.]

There's no reason to stay out here.
determinator: (♕ I beg to dream and differ)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-10-27 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Archer rests a hand on Kimblee's shoulder gently.]

Take your time.

[It's not something he's had to say for quite some time and for a moment he's distracted by just how nostalgic it is. He shakes that off quickly enough though; now isn't the time to get distracted by Kimbley - he needs to focus on the present and Kimblee.

...Things he never thought he'd say...]
determinator: (♕ Hear the dogs howling out of key)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-10-27 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you sure?

[With how jumpy Kimblee is, of course he's skeptical.]
determinator: (♕ Is not a way that's meant for me)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-10-27 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course not. You know me far too well.
determinator: (Default)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-10-27 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I appreciate it.

[Now come on! The house isn't going to clean itself!]

[[WE ARE COMMUNICATING VIA TEXT YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO KITTYFACE ARGH THIS ISN'T FAIR]]

Of course, Mr Kimblee! My Fearow will be able to get me there rather quickly.

Why Violet City, of all places? If you're able to answer, of course.


[[Maybe she should just wait until they're in person for the questions....]]

Not usually, but there are ways if one is willing to look hard enough.

[Or make others look for it, actually. Cobra doesn't do the searching himself.

There's another message soon after the first response too.]


What's this gate you mentioned?
snapandscoot: (Correct!)

[personal profile] snapandscoot 2012-10-28 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
It has been! My goodness, it's been months! If we're not too busy, we should take a walk around the city!

[[can you feel the quaint yet]]

Ah, and go to that tea shop where we had our first little tea-date! Wouldn't that be nice?

[[how about now]]
