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?]

Either way, I suspect it'll be an interesting night.

[ Knowing you, you'd announce it via the gear about a minute before you set those things off... :| ]

[ ... oh boy... ]

I'll look forward to seeing it, then.

Don't tell me you're a fucking jewel hoarder, Kimblee.

[ Solf has a very special typeof kidney stone. ]

Ah well, it's best to not look a gifted horse in the mouth.

How quickly do you think you can take down a city with five stones? [ .......yes, she says this with a completely serious tone! ]

What is this gift of yours called? To be honest, I've never heard of something quite like that.

[identity profile] usedrecover.livejournal.com 2011-12-29 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That would suck ): regenerating kidney stones wtf.

o-oh kimblee!!! but she hasn't bought you dinner yet! ]


Ah, ah, yes, but I was preferring a timely estimate. If things go well during a couple of test runs, Goldenrod might end up falling, which, in turn, would damage this place far beyond the means Team Rocket could ever hope to accomplish.

[We don't need any more broken locks, now do we?]

Well aren't you pleased.

[It's not a question. Archer shuts the door behind him before leaning on it, folding his arms.]

I take it you still can't access your alchemy?

[Like Kimblee would still be in the room if he could?]

[identity profile] sadisticwarfare.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if it decides to spontaneously allow you to use your alchemy again please do inform me.

[The sarcasm is running thick today, but he'd rather have Kimblee inform him of any developments rather than find out via the 'Gear.]

Well, I suppose no present could top that then.

[What, did you really think he was going to show up here without some sort of gift? It is Christmas after all, and they've put up with each other for quite some time. Clearly Kimblee deserves a reward!]

[...Did he really just...?]

[...Yes, yes he did. He missed that entirely. Hang on, his train of thought has been derailed horribly, what do.]

[Okay, recovering! Let's recover from that! Usually this is the point where you roll your eyes at his lack of subtlety but! Clearly today's just an off day!]

Well, I suppose you do deserve something for being useful.

[He treats his Kimbley/ees well, after all! ...Okay no, that's a blatant lie, but we can pretend! Cue all the tsun.]

[identity profile] sadisticwarfare.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh come on, what is that look for? He's not terrible at coming up with gift ideas!]

[...]

[...Okay, yes he is, but that's not the point!]


Yes, well. This is for you.

[And with that, he'll just be holding out a neatly wrapped box for you to take, Kimblee! It's simply wrapped, but if you know anything about Archer, it's safe to assume that it took him several tries to get the wrapping to stay on in a way that does look... completely shitty. It's also none of that brightly-colored crap that most of the stores sell and it's topped off with a tiny bow placed neatly in the center. ...Shut up, he was bored, okay.]

[Inside is a plain Pokeball containing a new addition to your team!]

[identity profile] sadisticwarfare.livejournal.com 2012-01-01 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
[He's a paper-pusher, that's what he is! ...The most anal paper-pusher the world has ever seen, but that's a different issue altogether.]

[Archer's not entirely sure what to make of Kimblee's expression. That leads him to the realization that he was expecting Kimblee to react badly to getting a gift and that... really doesn't sit well with him. Yes, the other version of this man reacted badly the first time Archer gave him something, but the situation is different and there seem to be more differences between the two versions of the Crimson Alchemist than similarities.]


As opposed to what exactly?

[The remark is as sarcastic as usual, but Archer is genuinely curious. It's possible Kimblee has seen him fussing with those Murkrow eggs, but that would involve more time and effort than catching something. If Kimblee was expecting something from the Game Corner then he's sorely mistaken; Archer hasn't set foot in there since he ragequit a few weeks ago.]

[Yes well! Where was he supposed to purchase something, anyway?]

[...Shut up.]

[Anyway, that's going to earn the douchiest smirk he can manage~]


It's a Yanma. They have a very unique ability that I'm sure will prove useful in battle, Kimblee.

[In short? Trolofuckinglol~]

[...However, there is a TM placed under that ball. That's your real gift.]
