001. [video/action for Route 43]

[There had been some definite toying around on this particular connection today, the screen flickering off and on as the PGC's functions were flipped from video to voice to text and back - anyone with a reasonably quick eye may have caught glimpses of amber eyes and long black hair, and perhaps sharp features holding an expression that seemed more amused than anything else. However, Kimblee has never really been interested in wasting too much time with playthings; the PGC hasn't been completely abandoned, as there are occasional sounds that indicate that someone is still in the area - footsteps once in a while, followed by odd scratching sounds and the like - but Kimblee himself is nowhere to be seen.

...probably because he's left the thing on in Voice mode before wandering away from it. The technology is a bit beyond him, and apparently he hasn't quite figured out how to turn it off.]


...try this again, shall we?

[Either Kimblee is muttering to himself or his conversational partner is exceedingly boring, as there's no response; either way, there's a bit of odd rustling, like fabric being shifted a bit, before a sharp snap - someone clapping their hands together, perhaps.

A brief pause. Another clapping sound.

Sigh.]


No...no, of course not.

[A few moments pass before there's a bit of a clatter - clearly he's decided the PGC is worth another shot, as he's back to fiddling with it, humming lightly to himself as the screen suddenly flickers to life.

Good afternoon! This would be Kimblee. And just barely visible on the ledge behind him would be several circles etched into it, with various designs scrawled into them.

For those who are familiar with transmutation circles, it seems he's been making an...attempt at alchemy. A very, uh, persistent attempt. Given that the clapping implies he was just trying to blow the thing up, apparently he just really doesn't like that ledge.]


Well, it seems that even with four functioning limbs you can't vault over them properly, and the chimera I've been given is useless in terms of destroying them. Either these ledges are defying all logic, or there's some other force at work. Dare I ask?

[Because as polite as his tone is...no, really, those ledges are just unfair.]

[Oh. Mother. Of. CRAP.

This is one of the last few people that Roy wanted to see here in Johto.

And thus, his face shows up on the screen with a stern look.]


I never expected you to show up here.

And yet, it wasn't nearly long enough.

[Oh look, another interesting newbie. Although "interesting" has more of a negative connotation here. Matt has no idea how drawing fancy circles and clapping is supposed to accomplish anything.]

...

Dude, what were you doing just now?

[ACTION]

[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.

Oh, I have. Not that I expect you to properly grasp it.

[Well, look who showed up in Johto this time. Envy wasn't expecting to see the Crimson Alchemist alive after what happened in Liore. But then again, it wouldn't be the first time Johto had brought people back from the dead. He's not exactly happy to see Kimbley either, after what had happened with Greed's untimely demise. Kimbley was definitely one of the people Envy has been blaming for that. Accept any of the blame himself? Never.]

[...Funny. Envy has an excellent memory for faces, and Kimbley doesn't appear quite the same. In basic features yes, but there's still something just a little off. This bears investigating.]


Sorry, but your alchemy's gone and abandoned you.

Alchemy doesn't work here. And a lot of things don't make sense here.

[identity profile] usedrefresh.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, okay... Just so you know, fancy powers don't work here.

[There's a brief pause.]

Um, did you wake up in Mahogany Town by any chance...?

[identity profile] king-of-flames.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
And yet I've been the one who's been busy. Busy righting the wrongs our country has committed, busy rebuilding certain regions, busy establishing ties that didn't exist before. My sense of righteousness hasn't steered me wrong, and I don't see the day when it will.

Well, blowing up the building I was in and nearly killing me doesn't exactly make you a friend of mine.

I don't see any reason why I should help you. I already gave you more info than you deserve.

Yeah, the ledges are....just a mechanic here. Try not to think too much about it.

....By the way, were you trying alchemy?

[identity profile] sadisticwarfare.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Very funny, Kimbley.

[The words aren't quite as harsh as they could be though. Now that the other man's actually looking at him, the differences are rather startling. Kimbley was never this tall nor was he this old. Not to say that he's old, just that Kimbley always looked a hell of a lot younger. Archer frowns and folds his arms.]

You've certainly changed. [That's the only indication he'll give that he might be a little unsure as to your identity. Certainly you are Kimbley - you look far too much like him to be anyone else - but...]

[identity profile] fullmetalbro.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? Well, maybe for you. Johto has this weird thing with time. It pulls people from different worlds and at different points on the time line. For me, that explosion only happened a few moments before I got pulled in here.
