007. [Text/Action for Violet City]

[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.]

Are you planning on doing dangerous things, Major?

[ Seriously, what is with you and your little friend and your morbid questions ]

I've heard the same rumors. haven't tested them myself though, or know anyone for sure that's encountered it.

why do you ask?


[Kimblee are you planning something entertaining]

i've heard that as well, though i am not sure if any one has proven it or not.
i came pretty close once, if that counts for anything.
then again, in order for people to start saying that in the first place...wouldn't someone have already proven it?
derpsaboutfamily: (:D)

[ Yes, well... well... Archer is a bit of an idiot. ]

Trust should be earned, don't you think? We've only just gotten to know each other!

[ Why does he make this sound like they're dating? ]
exeggutorhead: (smirk)

[personal profile] exeggutorhead 2012-02-07 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
well, most people would avoid dying if they didn't have to, even if they would come back to life. so you're just after peace of mind?
derpsaboutfamily: (sheepish)

[personal profile] derpsaboutfamily 2012-02-07 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ You've never even invited him to your place! How does he know you're not just some bum trying to get with him for his money? Relationships are a two-way street, you know. ]

I am quite glad that you are not!

Though, are you implying that we have immortality here?

[Oh god it's cold out. Archer has finally decided to ditch the military uniform in favor of civilian clothes, and if the million layers are any indication, it's freezing out. Normally he wouldn't bother leaving the hotel for any longer than absolutely necessary, but Kimblee has gone missing and he needs to ask a favor. He has another subordinate he needs to assist and he really doesn't want to travel all the way to New Bark Town alone.]

[Carlisle is kind of hard to miss, and since he hasn't seen any other giant murderpigs running around, he can safely assume it's Kimblee's. The alchemist's attire will get him to quirk an eyebrow, but it's not something he immediately recognizes as a bad thing.]


Kimblee.

[He'll stop short of the mammoth, staring at it rather than Kimblee, arms crossed tightly over the long, black coat.]

You know it's pointless to attempt to train out here on your own.

[So what the hell are you doing out here in the freezing cold anyway?]

[personal profile] derpsaboutfamily 2012-02-07 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps it started from someone who was interested in seeing how many people would go about testing out the rumor.
derpsaboutfamily: (lemme think about this)

[personal profile] derpsaboutfamily 2012-02-07 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

I didn't think you were.

[He'll wait patiently (enough) for the answer to the unasked question though. Clearly you're up to something. The answer finally comes and Archer tips his head slightly in acknowledgement.]

Where are you going?

[He doesn't sound upset; it's possible Kimblee is heading in the same direction and he won't have to leave the alchemist behind with that horrid girl.]

maybe someone with a very morbid sense of humor that it would be a particularly funny joke.
whether it's true or not though, i'm hoping that i don't have to find out personally any time soon.
because i am not too keen on dying if it turns out to be a lie.
and like you said, plenty of weird stuff happens here anyway so it's not too unbelievable.
...then again, if no one ever dies here it would get pretty crowded eventually.

I'm quite sure there are people who've tested it out. But would you believe them if they told you?
determinator: (♛ Get on your knees)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-02-07 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Who?

[There isn't anyone Archer saw on the network of any interest recently, it's possible they sent something filtered to Kimblee though. If this is anything like what happened with Emmy then hell no he's not going to let Kimblee meet with this person.]

[...You shut up, you'll listen to his orders if he gives them.]


I actually need to meet someone there as well; I was going to ask if you wanted to come with me.
derpsaboutfamily: (8| do I really have to?)

[personal profile] derpsaboutfamily 2012-02-07 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? What would make it believable?
