005. [Video]

[VIDEO]

[Good evening, Johto!

The room is a bit dim when the video feed flickers on; Kimblee seems to have set the Gear on some piece of furniture in front of him - probably a desk of some sort. The room is nondescript, the walls bare, but it's spacious enough and there's what looks like that long trenchcoat of his draped over the edge of the bed behind him, as well as the edges of those boxes that the care packages came in, almost out-of-frame but just barely visible.

The room is his, after all, he just hasn't bothered decorating the place.

His voice is calm when he speaks, his posture casual - he's leaning back in whatever chair he's sitting in (and either it's a hell of a swivel chair or he's leaning it back on two legs and balancing it like that), and his arms are folded across his chest; despite that, however, there's a definite cocky note to his voice.

Someone's pleased with what he's received for Christmas, holy shit.]


My, my - judging from the feeds today, I'm not the only one who's received gifts from an unknown benefactor. Whether this is a sign that we've been favored by this world, or whether someone simply has a strange and possibly sick sense of humor has yet to be seen.

Perhaps a bit of both.

[And when he unfolds his arms, he's playing with something; it's moving a bit too quickly between his fingers for the camera to really focus on it, but whatever it is, it's small and solid and gleams a bit when it catches the light. A crystal of some sort, perhaps, blood-red in color.

For those from his world who would know a Philsopher's Stone when you see one: yep.

However! Kimblee will just be smiling and it will be a very pleasant expression, actually.]


I should hope that you're all enjoying yourselves; it's been such a lovely season so far.

[End feed.]


[OOC: It's been a lovely season indeed. Some of his CR has received things from him, just for the sake of reference; enjoy it?]

1/2

[ You should've gotten something from Maes too in the mail! Though, probably nothing as exciting as whatever you've got there in your hand. Which, by the way, Maes can't see too well right now.

Not that it matters. He has more important things to discuss with you. ]


Oooh? You've received something strange as well?

[identity profile] eliciadaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-26 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ But don't bother responding to that. Maes isn't going to give you a chance. ]

ISN'T IT AMAZING? I don't know where it came from, but when I woke up this morning, it was in my bag! Something from home~

[ He's shoving something into the camera. ... It's so close to the camera that you can't actually see what it is.

A pause.

Oh wait, he's realized you can't see it. Pulling back now. It's an... album... of some sort... ]


Now I can look at my beautiful girls every day!

[ Maes is... happy...? I bet you can't tell... ]

[Well, at least one of them is pleased by the gift they got from home. Clive is much less thrilled with his, though he's been trying not to show it all day.]

Indeed... By the way, I received your gift this morning, as well. Thank you very much.

[...Well that looks promising. Of course Archer is familiar with the Stone - or rather, the "incomplete" version Tucker was using in Laboratory Five. This looks exactly like that, except perhaps a little larger. Archer can't decide if this is a horrible thing or a hilarious thing. Hopefully Kimblee still can't use alchemy here.]

[Anyway! He'll be showing up to examine it in person soon enough; you don't mind if he lets himself in, right? Of course not! He'll pick the lock if you've decided to try to shut yourself in anyway.]


Well, seems as though you certainly got something interesting for the holidays.

[For the time being he'll just smirk; even if Kimblee can use alchemy there's not guarantee that he'll decide to kill Archer. Right?]

Ah, Mr Kimblee!



Thank you very much for your letter! I just received it. Did you have a good Christmas?

[identity profile] eliciadaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-27 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... maybe if you'd killed less people in the war, the deities would be more willing to save you... ]

Isn't it wonderful~? Look, there are so many pictures from it! How did whoever that left this to me know that this was my favorite album~?

1/2

[ Then it just sucks to be you at this moment, doesn't it, Kimblee? ]

Hmm?

[ He's momentarily distracted. Because, yes, he's been wondering where these came from... ]

[identity profile] eliciadaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-27 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ But THERE'S TIME FOR THAT LATER. For now... he's found a nice picture of Gracia holding baby Elicia. And he's shoving it in view for you to see. ]

Aren't they beautiful~?

1/2; oh god, I'm sorry for all this spam...

[ Was that a flash of a frown somewhere? ]

[identity profile] eliciadaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-27 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ Fffff. He's too excited to actually care right now.

But he'll close his album for a moment. Just enough time to ask you, ]


What'd you get?

[personal profile] vengefulyears 2011-12-27 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
You're very welcome. Also, if you don't mind me asking, what exactly is that stone in your hand?

[identity profile] homofuckiens.livejournal.com 2011-12-27 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ and Karkat is going to be bold enough to ask. ]

What the fuck is that gem?

[Envy doesn't realize that what Kimblee's got isn't an incomplete Philosopher's Stone like the one he got, but he definitely recognizes it. Also he got that letter, and it's definitely given him a few things to think about.]

What an interesting gift you've gotten.

Oh, okay. YOU'RE WELCOME, THEN. HAVE ANOTHER 1/2

[ Oh, would you rather he go back to talking about his family? 'Cause he could...

Excuse him as he peers into the screen a little. 'Cause you're still moving that little thing really fast and the screen is tiny... ]

I lied... there's more... 2/3

[identity profile] eliciadaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-27 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ Wait... a little red stone...? Is that... ]

yeah, done. for realsies this time

How far back are we talking?
