explosivecombat: (We'll make it beautiful!)

003. [Voice/Action for Route 44]

[AUDIO]

[Kimblee has been fairly absentee for the last few days; when his connection becomes active over the PGC, it...well, it might not be exactly clear as to why, but it goes a long way toward explaining it, at least in part.

The connection snaps to life suddenly, though it isn't a video feed - this is entirely sound, the Voice connection having kicked in as the Gear hits the ground hard. The audio isn't simply white noise, however, nor is it entirely the ever-present background music threading its way through one of the routes near Mahogany Town; that music is present for a brief moment after the Gear connects with the ground, only to be violently interrupted by the unmistakable sound of something blowing the hell up.

Depending on your particular point of view, however, what's possibly more disconcerting than the sudden eruption is the sound that follows immediately after it - it's a bizarre, harsh combination of laughing and shrieking, the sound pitchy and manic and completely uncontrolled. It carries on at about the same utterly deranged clip for quite some time before slowly dying down as the person in question gets a hold of himself; when Kimblee speaks, however, his voice is still shaking hard, and it's obvious he's still not...quite as in control as he'd like to be.]


...beautiful...absolutely beautiful!

[A brief pause.]

That was better...it's been quite a while since I've heard something so moving. Yes, that was much, much better. Such a beautiful sound...

[And then there's the usual white-noise sounds that are a bit hard to distinguish, rustling and footsteps and the like, followed by something that's decidedly more distinct: after a moment, there's something that's definitely singing audible over the connection - not any particular words, or any particular tune, even, just vocalized nonsyllables that Kimblee seems to be making up as he goes, but from the sound of it he's very, very content, if a bit unstable.

And then the feed cuts off.]


[ACTION]

[A short while after that audio post hits the network (the posting itself the result of a somewhat awkward grab at the Gear once he'd realized he'd dropped it), Kimblee can still be found on Route 44; he's no longer screamingly manic, but he definitely looks...rough, for lack of a better term. His hair is draped haphazardly over his left shoulder, the usual long ponytail mussed up and disheveled; his eyes are distant, holding a bit of an unfocused, wild look to them, and despite the fact that he doesn't look like he's slept in some time, there's a general sense of manic energy about him that hasn't quite faded.

This may or may not have to do with the obvious signs of those explosions in his general vicinity, as well as the fact that he's in the process of recalling a rather fainted Electrode to its Pokéball.

...well. Someone seems to have figured out exactly what Selfdestruct does; as a result, Kimblee's a bit...worked up. To put it lightly.]

[Interesting, interesting. Clive makes a mental note of all this.]

This Pokémon is the cause of the explosion, yet it's merely fainted? That's quite remarkable.

And where did you find this Pokémon?

[How disappointing... Oh well, Clive is sure he'll find one eventually.]

I see. I believe that's all the questions I have.

[He tips his hat to Kimblee like the British gentleman he is.]

Thank you very much.

Yes, you're right; how rude of me. My name is Luke Triton. And yours?

How do you feel about working for someone?

[Clive is quite fond of Kimblee, himself... Let's see if this will last.]

Oh, I'm sure I will, Mr. Kimblee.

A sssimple one. I designate a target. You work on it. I pay with whatever type of reward you want once you finish.

The only conditions I absolutely insist on are that you do not get caught, and you do not assist my enemies. I believe that's more than fair.

Well, the singing was a hint. I wouldn't have guessed the Crimson Alchemist was musical. [He's content to be pleasant for the moment, although his expression isn't necessarily nice either. He's not alarmed by any lingering instability, or really by the original feed either. He's half hoping that this will lead to something interesting happening.]

Did you make the explosives yourself or were you just lucky enough to come into possession of an exploding Pokemon?

Yes, I imagined as much. So who isn't alright? I want to believe that wasn't just for the sake of it. Also, stay still.

[He quickly walks over to Kimblee and, without a warning, Gorthan will press the back of his hand against Kimblee's forehead.]

[identity profile] hasearthbooks.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Gorthan has no particular reaction to Kimblee shunning his touch.]

Sure, but I was talking about this specific instance. Who or what did you just blow up? ... Alright, you're not feverish. Will you at least let me check your pulse?

[identity profile] hasearthbooks.livejournal.com 2011-11-16 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
As far as I'm concerned, the notion that you would act in such a way while being in a healthy state is rather abnormal.

Of course, if your psyche deviates from the prescribed norm, I will merely find it interesting, as opposed to judging you for it. Like I find interesting that sound apparently acts as a stimulant for you.

[Gorthan will give up on the attempt to check Kimblee's pulse, too - he isn't currently showing any signs of a dramatically accelerated heart rate, though he might have been a few moments before.]

[That's a really weird fetish, bro.]

I... see.

I see. Have you actually attempted to use anything other than that move since it evolved?
