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.]

Of course!

[And naturally, twenty minutes later, Ryuunosuke's approaching with a Liepard following him. He doesn't have many Pokémon, but Liepard, Drapion, and Haunter are good enough for him. Or, well, they would be, if Haunter would listen to him...]

Sir!

I have a couple of war stories for you, if you want them. But I guess I should begin with the more interesting one. [ She sits down. ] The Second Great Shinobi War, one of the most bloodiest conflicts in our world's history, was ended solely because of me and my skill in battle and medicine. [ why yes kimblee she'll take this opportunity to gloat carelessly. ]
enjoymyatelier: but what would that even do. (gradients of babylon...?)

Honestly, I feel like if this world deemed us a legitimate threat and really wanted us gone, it would throw practically every legendary Pokemon imaginable at us rather than some extinct Pokemon brought back by a failed seance.

[oh, you're no fun, Kayneth.]

No wonder you're getting a thrill from this.
divinewind: (ah yes that's right)

[And the funny part is, as far as Temeraire's world goes, it isn't even a lie.]

Oh yes, it is much more interesting when nobody is insisting that there should be turns, and when there are a lot of enemies to keep track of at once. And now my Pokemon can use the formations that I taught them.

[But then he sighs.]

I do wish that I was able to join in the fighting properly, but that doesn't work so well here.

I might agree with you about the world striking back if this particular incident hadn't been caused by the natives.

[Envy has been staying the hell inside and away from the murderous fossils. After being lost in the woods for most of June, being chased by Gyarados and glitch Bidoof, he's not too interested in fending off a dinosaur attack.]

As for victories...I don't usually finish fights, I just start them. But I could tell you about a few of those starts, if you're interested.

You can find all the resources you need in the wilderness. It's just easier in the city for some things. The food that you get from civilization is worse, too. Who wants to eat a bunch of mushrooms that the Golgari grew on corpses? A freshly-killed boar is way better!

What do you even do here on a regular basis, Kimblee?

Curiosity, I guess. I've known you for getting on two fucking years.

You're one of the few humans that actually has a lick of common sense. At least talking to you has renewed what little faith I had in humanity not being completely useless.

I never said I hated humans or their useless morals... Disappointment and contempt, though? Yeah. I think that fits better.

Like what... Blow shit up and all that war time stuff?
