04X. [Action/Fourth Wall.]

[A.]

[They say that time heals all wounds, and most everyone who's had any sort of serious wound can tell you that "they" are full of absolute shit; the fact that this guy's shown up with the front of his jacket ripped open and covered in blood is probably enough to say that that he totally agrees on the "absolute shit" front.

That isn't to say that he's alone, though; Kimblee remembers him (partially because Kimblee remembers everyone but mostly because it's sort of hard to forget an alternate-universe version of yourself that's so different you're absolutely certain the world made some sort of fundamental error when it spat the guy out and called him you), and he'd managed to catch his attention in an entirely reasonable, perfectly affable way when he'd seen him - ...or, well, okay, he'd caught his attention via an explosion across the way that may or may not have been very well-controlled, because he imagined the mulleted moron would like that.

But! Either way, they seem to have made nice and now they're out in the open messing with something, and whatever it is it's probably nothing good because Kimblee's actually deigning to kneel on the ground in that white suit of his, sitting back on his heels and trying to disregard how dirty he's going to be when he stands up again, but for the time being he seems more interested in whatever his counterpart's got going on in his hands. That particular "whatever" seems to be a mason jar, presumably full of water from the lake they're hanging out next to.

And it looks like the mulleted one is explaining something, and his eyes slide closed while he's talking and he's smiling in a vague, pleased sort of way, and there's a brief flash from his hands and when he tips the jar and pours the water out the grass fucking corrodes.

Ask him to do water into wine and he'll laugh it off; water into hydrochloric acid, however, is apparently entirely doable.

Kimblee just kind of stares at him, before he smiles and asks him to demonstrate again; the guy he's with shrugs and says he can do one better.

...We might not want to let him do one better. Just saying.]




[B.]

[Of course, when he's not participating in the chem lab from hell, Kimblee can be found elsewhere; it's been a good long time since he's had his alchemy back, and like hell if he's not going to actually use it. He seems agitated this time around, though, as though he's not entirely sure what he's doing with it; it's far less elegant than it usually is, more explosions for explosions' sake.

It's not good enough, for whatever reason; after a moment of deliberating following a rather hard aftershock, he brings his hands together again and the energy he's using shifts from blue to red.

The Stone he's using isn't visible, but it doesn't really need to be for it to be obvious that he's using it; the sheer destructive power of it is going to absolutely destroy the shit out of a large distance down the route.

He laughs a bit once he has, the sound strange and breathless; that's better.]




[OOC: The idiot in question in scenario A is Kimblee's 2003 counterpart, who's sort of a hot mess; if you want to yell at one of them in particular, specify which and the mulleted wonder will be replying from [personal profile] alchemicals.

Otherwise...welcome to the semiannual KIMBLEE SIT THE FUCK DOWN party.]

[OF COURSE IT'S YOU, WHO ELSE CAN DO THIS???

Isaac notices Kimblee after a moment and approaches. He doesn't reach out to touch the alchemist, but he does speak up to hopefully get Kimblee's attention.]


Hey. You having fun?
alchemicals: (005.)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2015-05-31 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah, I haven't been around in a while.

[...Like you said earlier, insufferable.]

There's nothing stopping you from making your own fun around here, though. You really need to lighten up.
glaciates: (EXPLAIN ❅ i can't believe this shit)

[personal profile] glaciates 2015-05-31 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It's been six months.

[He's missed his alchemy too, but he's never quite as excited as Kimblee.]

Are you going to keep doing this for awhile?

[He already knows the answer to that, but he's not sure what else to say.]
sadisticwarfare: (♕ 44)

[personal profile] sadisticwarfare 2015-05-31 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
If I lightened up I'm not sure what you'd do.

[The idea's pretty funny though.]

It's good to see you again.
alchemicals: ...periodically (006.)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2015-05-31 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd be helping you raze the place to the ground, that's what.
cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (BLAH BLAH BLAH SHUT UP SSSERPENTOR)

A, either's fine!

[personal profile] cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 2015-05-31 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Who even knows when Cobra's made it over here. Either before some idiots messed with his stuff or after or...look fourth wall's a mess and this isn't saying it could be during, but this time of year is a mess, so it could be during.]

What on earth is that?

[Because he wants some sort of deforesting agent to unleash upon the poor unsuspecting Pokemon world. That way the next time he gets an inkling that the Slowpoke Well needs to pay, he can just ruin the entire neighboring forest while he's at it too.

...this is probably a great reason for things and people warped in not sticking around.]
alchemicals: all icons by <user name="dalicious"> (UM ‡ so i guess he had three arms)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2015-05-31 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Well, fortunately (...unfortunately?) the version of Kimblee that Cobra is used to is perfectly content to watch this clusterfuck happen, because there's no way this won't be hilarious.

The one he's not used to, though...]


It's...acid? Pretty straightforward stuff, easy to make if you know what you're doing.

[He's a little fixated on your fucking face or lack thereof there, buddy. What are you wearing.]
sadisticwarfare: (Default)

[personal profile] sadisticwarfare 2015-05-31 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
We can raze Ecruteak to the ground. There are some places I'd like to keep intact, you know.

[But seriously, Ecruteak is going first.]
glaciates: (WHAT ❅ wait i'm only in one episode)

[personal profile] glaciates 2015-06-01 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Not at all. The first thing I did when I woke up was try to freeze a lake.

[It's kind of fun, alright.]

Do you wanna meet up somewhere later? Assuming this place doesn't go weird and we get separated.

[DOES HE WANT TO STICK AROUND FOR THE EXPLOSIONS OR WILL IT BE AWFUL, THAT'S THE QUESTION]
alchemicals: (008.)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2015-06-01 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
...What do you have against that place, anyway? Every single time I show up here, you're either talking about how you want to blow it up, you just blew it up, or...I think I showed up once while you were actually in the middle of blowing it up.
sadisticwarfare: (♕ 09)

[personal profile] sadisticwarfare 2015-06-01 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
...Honestly, I don't know. I think it's just familiar at this point.

[It's fun to hate Ecruteak!!]
glaciates: (EXCITED ❅ gonna ride a glacier brb)

[personal profile] glaciates 2015-06-01 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[He could have been more obvious about it, but even Isaac understands that that's awkward!]

Alright.

[He relaxes at that. He'd rather stay with Kimblee.]

So... It's been awhile since I've seen your alchemy in action. You want to show me what you can do?

[HE FIGURES KIMBLEE WILL APPRECIATE THAT]
alchemicals: (005.)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2015-06-01 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Some places just deserve it more than others.

[...He gets this feeling, man.]
sadisticwarfare: (♕ 43)

[personal profile] sadisticwarfare 2015-06-01 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. It's also an excellent location for attacks due to the numerous landmarks there. Since neither of us have any interest in the city it makes sense to attack it instead of somewhere we can actually stand living.
glaciates: (SURPRISE ❅ that's not how alchemy works)

[personal profile] glaciates 2015-06-01 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Considering what you've done to the route here, I'm pretty sure a fight will just result in my death.

[.............................but]

I guess it'd be kind of fun though. It's been awhile since I sparred with anyone.
glaciates: (OMG ❅ kimblee's evil????)

[personal profile] glaciates 2015-06-01 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well, uh... No? I mean, I don't think you'd intentionally do something like that, but it's going to be hard to avoid something like that.

[Veronica usually kept quite aware of her surroundings. That was why she found herself here, staring at the man who was blowing things up for shits and giggles.]

Geeze... [She muttered under her breath.] What's with people around here...?
