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.]

I'd like to think that maybe you would. But I sincerely doubt that. Aradia seems to enjoy the chaos too.

Strife I can deal with. Struggling? Yeah, not my favorite thing, but I can manage that. This thing... Fighting for not just one universe, but two? All of it is making being sent to the culling field a mercy killing.

I wouldn't expect any complaints about this place from you. From what I understand of it, it sounds just like your cup of tea.
enjoymyatelier: maybe he should check the foundations, come to think of it. (red car. good point.)

[audio]

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2013-08-05 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
No, that certainly makes sense. I imagine if it were only one or two of us for a short period of time there wouldn't be much of an issue, but given how many people have come and gone and for how long... well, I suppose it would be strange if there wasn't something along these lines, either from the world itself or from whatever's dragging us here.
enjoymyatelier: i am just done with this shit (ugh whatever)

[audio]

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2013-08-08 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
...So it is. Well, I'm sure something like this would have happened eventually, though I have to admit that I prefer your theory to the idea that our abilities are arbitrarily blocked while one of the natives can reanimate things that are supposed to have been dead for millions of years by accident.

[audio | locked] I'm sorry this is so late, it's been a bad week

[Kimblee can have fun blowing up Anorith for the both of them!]

[He's also locking this conversation, because he does have a reputation to uphold after all. He's quiet for a minute while he thinks of which story to tell.]


Well there is a more recent one, only a little over a hundred years ago. What did they wind up calling that again...ah, right, the Wellesly Conflict. Did you have that in your world?

enjoymyatelier: have fun storming the castle, kayneth (a totally honorable mage duel)

[audio]

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2013-08-18 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Something like that, yes. I'm not one to reanimate actual corpses regardless of how ancient they are... the sorts of things I generally work with are a bit more like Ghost Pokemon, as a reference.

I see.

Have you, by chance, run into anyone else from Amestris here?
enjoymyatelier: dude i am running out of variations on smug (all smug all the time)

[audio]

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2013-08-19 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... no, I'd say that they're about the same. Granted, in my experience, Ghost Pokemon are not much different from regular Pokemon, honestly, aside from being slightly less corporeal than most... though I'm quite certain that could be a rather unsettling factor for some people.

[i ain't afraid of no ghosts]

[no, it was definitely 100% necessary.]

Well, they're... complicated, I'll give you that. I thought it was clear-cut when I learned they hatched from eggs, but that whole Yamask debacle went down and now I'm not really sure what to think about them.

Still, even regarding things that actually were dead... I always viewed spiritual familiars more as a means to an end rather than anything worth spending quality time with.

[Riza expected such an answer. Kimblee seemed to have issues giving straight answers.]

I now of two others from Amestris here now. I'd like to know if there are any others as well.

[Not that she's going to give out those names. She has no idea if you have met the Elrics yet, and she's not about to out Winry to you either...]

I've heard about people being pulled from different times as well as different worlds.
hawksandbullets: (Unexpected info)

[personal profile] hawksandbullets 2013-08-21 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh Kimblee, so skilled at bringing strange and disturbing news to light in the most uncomfortable means possible. Riza looks taken aback. One step at a time, Lieutenant. It takes her a moment to respond.]

I can confirm Alphonse is still here, and he's with a civilian from Amestris.

[Hopefully they're not talking about the same civilian, but the sinking feeling in Riza's stomach is telling her otherwise.]

So now there are alternate versions of our worlds? [Though she's keeping her stoic appearance up now, it's clear that this information overwhelms her a bit.]

We've already discussed how people have been taken from different points in time, so I suppose it's not surprising to hear that the Lt. Colonel is here. Do you know what happened to them?
