[Mahogany Town is boring. But as boring as it is, it's the only place in this "Johto" area that Archer knows well enough to get around. He has no intention of leaving until the bat-chimera of his is actually capable of fighting. As it is, he has to drag the useless thing back to the... Pokemon Center or whatever it is they call those things several times a day.]
[He's out training when he first hears the clapping, but he doesn't think much of it. It's only when he's returning from the Pokemon Center and bypassing that ledge when he hears it again and finally stops to examine the source of the noise.]
[Immediately visible is someone's back; an awful lot of white (a suit, from the looks of it), dark hair held back in a ponytail, and just beyond him a bunch of transmutation circles scratched into the ledge back there.]
[...Oh.]
[Well, clearly it's an alchemist. Archer approaches, stopping short once he can hear the voice. It's not very similar, and the words certainly don't sound like anything he'd say but...]
...Kimbley? [It's more of a question than anything, though Archer's certain he's too far away for the other man to even hear him. He once again starts forward, frowning. It can't be. Kimbley is dead. He saw Scar kick his body off a rooftop in Liore...]
[But once he's angled himself so he can actually see the other man properly, Archer realizes he isn't mistaken. This has to be Kimbley. The features are the same, despite the haircut (which doesn't look anywhere near as stupid), the outfit (Kimbley, being classy? The world has clearly ended), and the voice which is... more sophisticated and sounds less like a whiny teenager.]
Well, Kimbley. I wasn't expecting to find you here.
[ACTION]
