012. [Text/Action for Olivine City]

[ACTION]

[So it had happened again.

Kimblee had been keeping largely to himself since the incident - another three days gone, another batch of bizarre dreams that he normally wouldn't have been prone to involving alchemy and fighting and...Miss Rockbell, of all people - and as such, he had kept the exploring to a bare minimum. This place wasn't necessarily a pleasant one for him; he had been here before, to meet with Miss Farron - that had gone over like a lead balloon, really, and while he wasn't one to dwell on unpleasant things of that particular nature, it had put quite the damper on his mood. All in all, Olivine City was one of those places he had no intention of returning to again once he had defeated the local gym.

Of course, that had changed as soon as he saw the location of the gym, and the view that it had offered.

He had assumed the stretch of water near Goldenrod City, on Route 34, was an inlet of some sort, or perhaps a large lake; he hadn't worked out exactly what that water had been connected to, simply taking for granted that it was there. However, there's no doubt in his mind when he sees it in Olivine - it's incredibly vast, seeming to go on forever.

Amestris is a landlocked country; he had never seen the sea before.

Even if the sun is out, eighty-three degrees is hardly a good temperature for swimming, and Kimblee doesn't know how, besides; that doesn't seem to have stopped him from wandering out into the ocean, stopping when the water is about waist-deep. He at least has the common sense to not do this in the white suit - the shirt he has on is a deep crimson, high-necked with the collar pulled up over his throat; the pants are black and made of heavy, stiff fabric. Unseasonably warm, perhaps, but he doesn't seem to mind; the water is rather cold anyway.

He doesn't have his gloves on, simply allowing his hands to trail lightly through the water, just under the surface; he's been in Johto for seven months, and his hair is getting long, the ends of it sinking just below the soft crests of the waves and wicking up water, soaking his back.

He seems rather peaceful today, all things considered; tranquil, compared to the manic shrieking and loud explosions during those three days. He's alert as usual, listening for sounds of an approach despite the calm exterior; however, that doesn't mean he's opposed to company on that beach.]


[TEXT]

[A text will hit the network a few hours later; don't worry, it's actually signed this time, and he surprisingly has no intention of trolling the hell out of everyone who responds - he'll leave that to Anon for now.]

As eager as some of us are to return home, it can't be denied that this place has provided most of us with far different opportunities than we would have normally had.

Tell me your memories of this place. Good, bad, it doesn't particularly matter - tell me what it's offered you.

Was it easy? Well, I guess it would be for you regardless.

[...herp.]

You've nearly gotten all the Gym Badges, huh? What will you do after that?
greatestcool: (✂ I'm so pleased!)

[HEY KIMBLEE]

[HEEEY KIMBLEE]

[IS HE HARDCORE YET???]


I try! Really, you'd think you could do all sorts of terrible things with these creatures, but death doesn't stick here. It's unfortunate. But that's okay - I'm also good at improvising. If I can't kill anyone, at the very least I can make these attacks interesting!
determinator: (♔ Just because you like to destroy)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-06-01 12:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, of course I know.

[...OH GOD NO, NO NEVER MIND CAN HE LEAVE]

[A BILLION STAIRS, KIMBLEE]

[A BILLION]

[HE IS TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT GODDAMN]


...Are you serious?
glaciates: (❅ I might actually be kind of upset here)

[personal profile] glaciates 2012-06-01 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know. I thought it would take longer to get all the badges, I guess. I mean, I'm halfway done already. I don't know what I'll do when I'm done. I guess there's Kanto but...

[What's the point? Get some more badges? Cool? Why should he bother?]
greatestcool: (✂ Well that's one way of putting it.)

[personal profile] greatestcool 2012-06-01 12:22 pm (UTC)(link)
You're hired to improvise? Talk about a cool job! What did you do exactly? Was this improvising in terms of planning things? Or were you actually doing things? It sounds more like the latter; what with the attacks here and all that.
determinator: (♛ See how it ends)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-06-01 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
This can't be good for your back.

[Fuck his liiiiife.]
glaciates: (... ❅ maybe i shouldn't freeze the city)

[personal profile] glaciates 2012-06-01 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's...! That's really the best thing to do, isn't it?]

Yeah, you're right.

[Not that he's... really sure how to go about doing that... orz]
greatestcool: (✂ This is so cool!)

[personal profile] greatestcool 2012-06-01 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
That's--! That's the greatest cool, sir!!!

[CAN YOU FEEL THE SPARKLE-EYES OVER HERE]

You were paid to go out and fight like that? You were allowed to go kill someone? Wow! That's so cool!
determinator: (♕ The ones who died without a name)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-06-01 12:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, you're not the only one who's six today...]

Oh, fine. Wait up, will you?

[DON'T LEAVE HIM, DAMMIT]
glaciates: (... ❅ maybe i shouldn't freeze the city)

[personal profile] glaciates 2012-06-01 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know.

[Things he'd really rather not deal with again, of course.]

Thanks. I'll figure something out.
greatestcool: (✂ I'm so pleased!)

[personal profile] greatestcool 2012-06-01 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you have! I haven't heard anything that cool in... well, since I last saw Bluebeard! But wow, you must have had so much fun!
determinator: (♔ I never feel pain)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-06-01 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[UGH UGH UGH HE HATES YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW]

Yes, it is, Kimblee.

[Come on, now. There's no reason to talk to yourself. That's said a bit louder than it needs to be - you sounded like you were talking to the walls again and, well. That wigs him out. You can talk to him if you feel like talking!]

I'm glad you're enjoying it, then.
glaciates: (ALCHEMY ❅ definitely an ice-type)

[personal profile] glaciates 2012-06-01 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I guess so. I'm sure we can find something to do. There are still plenty of places left to explore, after all.

[Or you know, he could just chill with you forever. :| Guess which one sounds more appealing?]
