[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.]

[He does seem genuinely pleased by the conversation, however, in a way that he usually isn't; he's aware that they're just saying things, not genuinely implementing them, but for some reason it's nice regardless.]
Perhaps I'll try it sometime, should you not feel like overseeing something.
no subject
No, no, it's quite alright, I can handle it.
[The words are flat, without any sort of conviction behind them. It's not so much that he wants Kimblee to take over, as he's not entirely sure he's as capable of commanding as he was before... Well, that's hardly important now. He glances away, studying his nails instead.]
While I do appreciate the offer, I can handle this.
[His pride simply won't allow him to admit otherwise.]
no subject
I don't doubt you can, Archer.
no subject
Of course. I'm pleased to hear that.
no subject
After a moment, however, something seems to click; he seems pleased with it, at any rate, before moving on.]
I've seen no reason to doubt you all this time; I still see no reason to doubt you now. And as far as following your orders goes, I have nothing in Johto holding me back anymore.
[That's about the closest he's gotten to discussing Isaac with Archer since this last time; he doesn't seem too eager to start now, either, though the statement is even.]
no subject
Of course. We have our work cut out for us, but we'll continue working our way up through the ranks.
[After all, they have a takeover to pull off.]
no subject
Getting the badges again will help, obviously; we'll have to rebuild our rosters, but that shouldn't be too difficult, all things considered. A bit annoying, perhaps, but entirely possible.
no subject
[And this time they know what to expect from the Pokémon, so they can choose which ones they know will work well for them! It's certainly not a good thing that they were sent home, but they can make the most of it.]
no subject
[...]
My apologies for being out so late, by the way.
no subject
There's no need to apologize, Kimblee. I was out late as well, after all.
[Speaking of which...]
Thank you, for calming me down.

[You can have his hand running through your hair for a moment at that before he returns to tending to his own.]
You'll do fine, I think.
no subject
I'm pleased to hear it. I'll do my best.
