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.

[Archer glances up then. The tsun is dying down a bit at least.]

They don't need to know.

[...Because let's face it bb, you have gone soft.]

[Oh come on now, he knows better than to say it~!]

I--!

[...That's entirely too true, isn't it.]

...Oh shut up.

In your world. I'm the oldest in mine. ...but I don't think Greed was interested either, and my world's Gluttony is about the same as the one here.

[He's certainly not going to argue about Gluttony being dim...]

[[Emmy is oblivious to anything overly serious about the situation; she just thinks it's rather strange. Interesting, really!]]

Is that how you use your alchemy, Mr Kimblee?

It's the main draw as far as I'm concerned. These things never ask why or challenge my authority. They certain don't complain about where my money goes either. It's perfect.

What about you? What has this place offered you?

[Oh like he doesn't humiliate himself on a daily basis? Shut up, shut up, shut up.]

[He'll just go back to tsuning and claiming your shoulder as his own, then. Because ugh.]

I'll say; it knocked me right off my feet! I think he knew it would; there was something smug about the fellow. Pleasantly smug, though! I think he was just very confident in his abilities.

[[Apparently we just cannot text each other without one of us ending up mindfucked!]]

[Everyone can read your poker face, Kimblee...]

[That said, Archer does notice that Kimblee has stopped after a moment; he glances up but doesn't move for a second. It's only when he noticed just how much Kimblee's expression has darkened that he does move, sitting up and running his hands through his hair to fix it. As much as he enjoys the hair-playing, you do tend to mess his hair up horribly.]


Kimblee? What's wrong?

[He's known Kimblee to go off into his own little world every so often; that isn't a big deal, but he doesn't like that expression.]

Oh? Were you a bit of a cocky thing back then, Mr Kimblee~?

[[Might be a bit of karma there, Kimblee....]]

...You can talk to me, you know.

[That... wasn't supposed to sound as pouty as it did, um.]

If something's bothering you, I'd like to hear it.

[Kimblee has helped him through all sorts of issues, usually by pressing him until he gets pissed enough to shriek about whatever the hell it is that's bothering him. Archer doesn't know how he does it, or how he manages to make everything better, but at the very least he can try to help.]

[...And fail horribly, but that's not the point!]

If those opportunities are what I think they are, then I suppose that's another thing this place has given me. People willing to work with me.

[Isaac hesitates for quite some time before responding to Kimblee's post. This place has offered him so much. He finally locks the text post and sends it.]

A second chance.

[...He really had to resist from writing "you." He figures that wouldn't go over too well. He's really not a clingy, possessive, yan boyfriend! Really!]

I haven't really been here all that long, but it's been nice. It's interesting here.

[Not that back home wasn't, but things really only started getting cool after he summoned Caster.]

There are plenty of things to see and do here! I don't have to worry about the police or anything here either. It's nice!

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't mind staying here for awhile longer, you know?
enjoymyatelier: zach. they're here. (migrane's a comin.)

I have experienced a great deal of things that would be potentially very interesting if they were not far more trouble than they were worth.
