026. [Audio/Action for Route 35, just outside Goldenrod City]

[AUDIO]

Goodness, it's only getting worse out there...

[Audio posts from Kimblee are reasonably rare, unless he's on...ah, "official business"; however, tonight he clearly feels like addressing the network as a whole for once. His voice is tight, though it's remaining controlled; there's a sort of quietness to the feed, as though he's indoors for the time being - god only knows exactly where, though, because judging by the BGM, he could be anywhere in Goldenrod.]

I've seen a few swarms in my time here, but I don't recall them being this bad in quite a while, much less this angry...perhaps this place is finally starting to strike back. I can't imagine the world being terribly pleased with how frequently the "foreigners" find their way here, after all; upset the balance too far in one way or another and the world will take notice, I've found, and if you think that will result in anything but a battlefield in one way or another, you're either idealistic or very, very sheltered.

[There's a clatter of movement in the background, a vague quickening of his breath as he speaks - heading down stairs, maybe?]

I've always enjoyed the notion that this world is built around conflict and the culture bred by the battleground; perhaps it's finally living up to its potential. Time will tell, I'm sure; while I suppose now is when it would be relevant to ask what sort of thing you're fighting for back home, I'll spare you the tedium - after all, the answer to that, when such times are upon us, is always obvious.

[A heavier thud then, and quickly-paced steps on even ground; whatever stairwell he's on, he seems to have seen fit to jump the last few steps, and his words are picking up speed a bit as he continues.

Those that are familiar with the way he is when he speaks will likely recognize overstimulation when they hear it; those who aren't...well, he sounds excited, at any rate. Excitement is good, isn't it?]


But for now, the hour grows late, and there's a battle to be had; perhaps I'd like to hear about some of your battles, myself. Not the reasons behind them - again, those are usually obvious and boring, really. But what victories you've won, if any. What victories you're seeking.

I'd prefer they be true, but you're more than welcome to make something up if you'd like. After all, it's not like I'll know the difference, right?


[ACTION]

[So. It's hideous o'clock at night, it's raining, and things are getting loud just past the northern borders of Goldenrod tonight. And not, like rampaging-Pokémon loud, though that's likely also pretty loud.

More like "shit blowing up" loud.

It seems Kimblee's finally taking the time to properly, uh. Bond. With his murderball of an Electrode. After all, if there's one thing they both can agree upon, it's that destroying things is ridiculously fun if you do it properly. Right now he's enjoying terrorizing the living hell out of the newly-local population of Anorith; this likely isn't going to make them any less mad about the state of the world, just saying.]

Maybe they have been lobotomized.

If you're referring to Team Rocket, please. That ambition of theirs? Taking over the world through stealing other peoples' beasts? Please call me when they have a reality check and crawl out of their pupas.

I'm not impressed.

Try harder.

[personal profile] papshooshing 2013-07-28 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'm basically saying if that's their version of trying, then maybe they can make a grub piss itself - that's not hard for the record. Thus they need to work at it.

In the near two years I have been present, I think the most annoying event what the train hijacking and the most destructive was around the time that the virus was going around. Even then I kind of want to smash their craniums together for blowing up stores and the like. Thank you, geniuses for that by the way - if they're even listening to this conversation. Let's just cause mass destruction on buildings that enable trainers to get stronger and thus make their Pokémon all that more desirable. That's some assbackwards thinking if you ask me.

[France is still pretty oblivious to the details of Amestris and the rest of Kimblee and Envy's world. He's learned some stuff, and he knows what Envy is, but he's kind of assumed that, having met Greed, Lust, and Envy and briefly talked to Sloth and Gluttony, it must not be a terribly uncommon occurrence, the whole naming people after the Seven Deadly Sins thing.]

[In other words, as usual, France sees things as he wants to see them.]


Yes, I am! We've been together for about two years and five months now. If you count while Greed was still here, we've been together almost since I arrived.

The city's full of rules and laws and people telling you what to do. Why wouldn't you want to get away from all of that and be free?

[personal profile] papshooshing 2013-07-28 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
But not you.

[Did someone mention battles and victories in battles? Because Temeraire loves talking about battles. He's rather bloodthirsty for someone so sweet.]

I helped to defeat Napoleon in a battle! He had all of his dragons carrying his army across the Channel in great boats, and we were outnumbered but I found a way to wreck the boats before they could get all the way across. All of his forces had to retreat in the end, which I think is fitting after using such sneaking methods to make sure that we were caught off guard.

[He sounds so very proud of this.]

Do you think that is really why all of these pokemon are attacking? I haven't done anything to them, but they don't seem to care about that. Although...this sort of fighting is more exciting than when the battles are organized...maybe it will happen more often.

The victories I've won, huh? You make it sound like everyone's from a world where battles are a common occurrence!

[That would be Ryuunosuke. He's being filmed from an artsy angle that means that he's holding the 'Gear, and he's laughing. The sound is nearly breathless and obviously pleased.]

I would've told you that not all worlds are like that, but I guess I don't really have any right to say that, do I? After all, my world has magic, something I didn't even know until I accidentally summoned a demon! Such a shame, if only I'd known about magic earlier! I would have summoned Bluebeard much sooner!

[...Oh, but he's getting distracted, isn't he.]

So no, I haven't won any battles, but there's more to life than just battling, sir! I'm an artist after all!

[The emphasis on the word is almost enough to make it sarcastic. He's smirking at the device, eyes actually alive for once - but the expression isn't very sane.]

Why are you posting so late at night, sir? Is something up?

[Well fuck. Riza would have liked to know that you were waltzing around a little sooner than this, Kimblee.]

It seems there are more people from Amestris here than I thought. How long have you been here, Crimson Alchemist?

[Archer leans into his touch, smirking. It's almost closer to a smile.]

I'm pleased to hear it. I'll do my best.

[personal profile] greatestcool 2013-07-28 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, it's alright, sir! I didn't dislike it any, it just doesn't really apply to me, that's all!

[He shifts on the bed, rolling onto his stomach and resting his chin on his hands.]

I guess you're right. I'll go out tomorrow and train some. Oh, but I'm a night owl, sir! I always stay up late!
greatestcool: (EAGER 🔪 can't get much cooler than this)

I don't have anything that can explode--

[Oh!]

Where do you want me to meet you, sir?
