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.

Rather good! I had an odd dream last night, very odd. You were in it, as creepy as that sounds!

[[Mr Kimblee we are at the point in our relationship where we can bring this stuff up on the spot ok

....and if we aren't we are now]]

I don't suppose you wore a lot of blue when you were younger, did you?

[[Oh don't worry, this will get weirder....]]
snapandscoot: (quaint curiousity!)

Ah, I think that might have been it! Because the man in my dream didn't like being called 'Mr' Kimblee, he preferred something else....some sort of rank, I can't remember.

He.....well, he performed some alchemy for me, and then I woke up.
snapandscoot: (Correct!)

[personal profile] snapandscoot 2012-05-31 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah yes, that's it! Major Kimblee, that's who he was! Isn't that odd?
snapandscoot: (well that wasn't the right answer)

He clapped his hands, touched the ground, and then there was this....massive explosion; I was knocked off my feet! And when I hit the ground, I woke up.

It was quite an intense dream; I practically fell out of bed once it was over!

[[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?
snapandscoot: (/wink)

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!]]
snapandscoot: (smile)

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

[[Might be a bit of karma there, Kimblee....]]
snapandscoot: (Correct!)

[personal profile] snapandscoot 2012-06-02 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I never would have guessed!

[[Most men seem to be cocky when they're young, anyway......except the Professor, probably!]]
snapandscoot: (Um....)

I suppose that's something else my dream was right about.

[[HA. HAHAHA.

....

man this is weird]]


Maybe I've been hanging around my Psychic Pokemon too much....

What, you mean people having odd dreams about their friends?

Can we switch to video?
snapandscoot: (Correct!)

[video forever, then!]

[personal profile] snapandscoot 2012-06-03 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
Much! I don't really like communicating by text; it's so impersonal! Plus this way I can multi-task!

[[Emmy is currently standing in her kitchen, unpacking some groceries. She places some lemons near the camera.]]

So you were saying that this sort of thing has happened before, Mr Kimblee? Because I must say, I was shocked to realise three days had gone by since I last checked!
