007. [Text/Action for Violet City]

[explosivecombat]

[TEXT]

I ask that you forgive the morbidity of the question, but I find that there are some things that can't exactly go unasked -

I've heard rumors that if one dies in Johto, one doesn't exactly remain that way; has anyone actually proven this? If so, whom, and by what means?

[ACTION]

[Early afternoon in Violet City will see Kimblee dressed like quite possibly the world's most pretentious horseback rider, what with the black pants tucked into the pale grey knee-high boots, an amber shirt that's perhaps far too nice for the occasion, and the usual thick gloves over his hands, the ends of which disappear neatly under his sleeves. It would look halfway appropriate were he in the company of...I don't know, a Rapidash or something similar, but instead he's got Carlisle out in front of him. Kimblee seems to be checking over his murder mammoth, who's been at a bit less than 100% after almost a week of constant pushing to get to Violet City in the first place; however, after several days' rest, he seems to be doing fine. Kimblee is singing to himself as he circles the creature; it's not entirely perfect, but it's a decent mimickry of the tune Emmy was singing a few days ago.

Either way, he doesn't seem to be bothered by the fact that holy balls it's cold out here; hell, he's not even Blofelding it up with his Pineco right now. Obviously, whatever it is he's doing, he's a man on a mission. Or something.]

Perhaps it started from someone who was interested in seeing how many people would go about testing out the rumor.

[explosivecombat]

No, that's occurred to me, too. However, I haven't heard anything to back that theory up, either.

[derpsaboutfamily]

Perhaps there's a good reason these theories haven't been tested. We don't really want everyone running around thinking they can just do anything they want at any time without consequences.

[explosivecombat]

Of course. But at the same time, you can't say that there aren't those in Johto that would do such things - it might not be a pleasant thought, but I'm certain there must have been at least one person who would have been willing to try it, through either murder or suicide.

[derpsaboutfamily]

I'm quite sure there are people who've tested it out. But would you believe them if they told you?

[explosivecombat]

That would depend on how the information was presented, I'd think.

[derpsaboutfamily]

Oh? What would make it believable?

[explosivecombat]

Well, obviously someone simply saying that they had experienced it, giving no details whatsoever about any aspect of the situation, would be a bit harder to believe - don't you think?

[Bluntly put? Deets, Hughes. Deets.

...Kimblee is a little morbid like that.]

[derpsaboutfamily]

You have a point there.

And what would you do with this bit of information, should it turn out to be true?

[explosivecombat]

Who said I was going to do anything with it?

[derpsaboutfamily]

If someone said anything like that, I wouldn't be asking, now would I?

[explosivecombat]

Dare I ask what you would be doing about it?

[derpsaboutfamily]

About what, Major? About the information, or about what you would do with the information?

[explosivecombat]

Either/or.

[HUGHES, WHY ARE YOU SUCH AN OTLFEST]

[derpsaboutfamily]

In both cases, a whole lot of nothing.

[ WHAT DID HE DO THIS TIME? ;A; ]

[explosivecombat]

Really.

[...IT DEFIES DESCRIPTION, OKAY]

[derpsaboutfamily]

Were you expecting a different answer?

[ ..... HE'S NOT THAT BAD, IS HE? ]

[explosivecombat]

[orz orz orz orz]

To be blunt, I'm not sure what I expect from you half the time.

[derpsaboutfamily]

[ Really, Kimblee. You're making this harder than it needs to be... ]

Oh?

[explosivecombat]

You're interestingly unpredictable, let's put it that way.

[YOU'RE A TROLL.]

[derpsaboutfamily]

[ What is this 'trolling' you speak of? Sure he doesn't do it... not intentionally anyways ]

I do believe that's the first time anyone's called me interestingly unpredictable before!

[ He'll take it as a compliment. ]

[explosivecombat]

Take it as a compliment, then.

[derpsaboutfamily]

Roger that.
