013. [Text/Action for Olivine City, also one other thing]

[ACTION]

[It's incredibly rare to see Kimblee out of that fancy white suit; it's rarer still to see him not wearing it for any reason other than "If I wear it now, I'll get it filthy", "I'm in prison", or "I'm in a hospital and on life support."

While he's not on life support, however, he certainly is in a hospital of some sort - and not as a patient for once, either! Those who enter the Pokémon Center in Olivine City will be treated to Kimblee wearing general hospital scrubs, his hair pulled back in the stupidest french-braid ever to be stupidly french-braided. He isn't terribly interested in trying to mess with the human patients - in fact, he seems rather eager to stay out of the way of those who actually know what they're doing in that regard, as he hasn't been seen back there at all; given that he's filed just about everything he can get his hands on, he's working in the front today, assisting those who bring in Pokémon injured in battle.

And by "working" I mean "today has been ridiculously slow, so he's currently leaning idly over the desk, playing the hell out of the Tetris app on the 'Gear."

At least he's making no secret of his answer to the question of "working hard, or hardly working?"]



[TEXT]

[However, there are some sorts of boredom that even copious amounts of Tetris can't alleviate; at some point today - most likely after Kimblee has realized that he's going to be shifting around falling blocks in his goddamn sleep and he's going to be humming "Korobeiniki" for the next week - there's a text thrown out to the network at large.]

In my experience, there are those who exist to create, and those who exist to destroy. Neither are inherently good, nor are they inherently bad - there are those who create weapons and those who destroy barriers, after all. It's all a matter of how one utilizes their talents.

For the sake of idle curiosity, I have to wonder how many of us that were brought to Johto find themselves drawn to creation, destruction, or something else entirely.



[PRIVATE TEXT TO COBRA COMMANDER]

Position secured. Clearance and access to relevant materials likewise secured. Window of opportunity opens tonight during shift change.

Permission to proceed?

[ACTION FOREVER]

[Training is difficult without Kimblee. Archer has spent the past several hours outside, watching his Pokémon beat each other up. Needless to say, he's bored out of his mind when he finally enters the Pokémon Center. He doesn't have any of his Pokémon out with him, for once, and he doesn't recognize Kimblee right away when he approaches the counter.]

I need my Pokémon healed--

[...Wait a minute. That looks like...]

Kimblee? What the hell are you doing here?
determinator: (♕ I beg to dream and differ)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-06-11 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
You're working?

[From the tone there, the oh god, you poor man doesn't need to be said. It's obvious.]

Why? What reason could you possibly have to work here of all places?

[..........]

...And frankly, I'm surprised you're wearing regulation clothes. What did you do to your hair anyway?

[OH COME ON HOW COULD HE RESIST]
determinator: (♛ Come on)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-06-11 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
You're letting me insult you and healing my Pokémon? It certainly must be a slow day.

[That said, he'll hand over his Pokémon with a smirk.]

So this is what you've been up to? You must have some sort of ulterior motive here; I refuse to believe you've run out of money so soon.

[They just beat the final Gym Leader, after all!]
determinator: (♔ So we stole and drank Champagne)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-06-11 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I suppose it wouldn't.

[Oh come on, what is that smirk for?]

Indeed? If I'm remembering correctly, that was to get me the Porygon, wasn't it?

[The smirk is a bit softer at that; he really does appreciate the effort you put into that, especially because you didn't like him this much back then.]

Am I to assume this is something you can't tell me here, then?
determinator: (♕ To a hymn called "Faith and Misery")

[personal profile] determinator 2012-06-11 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course, Kimblee. Of course.

[Yeah right, what other reason would you have?]

...Oh please, no one's going to buy that. Except maybe your friend Emmy.

[The smirking here is ridiculous...]
determinator: (♛ Meet me at the parking lot)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-06-11 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nope, not possible. Gambling isn't fun. It's losing money. Not fun at all!]

Oh not at all, it's far more amusing watching her try to deal with this world~

[HAS HE MENTIONED HE LOVES TALKING SHIT ABOUT EMMY]
determinator: (♕ Trials by fire; setting fires)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-06-11 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed? I look forward to it.

[Archer leans on the counter, watching Kimblee idly as he continues.]

She was rather irritating in Ecruteak and I don't expect her to get any better in the future. When do you plan on telling her everything?
determinator: (♕ Bombs away is your punishment)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-06-11 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Archer tips his head slightly, considering.]

...So you plan to betray her.

[That realization gets a very wicked smirk.]

I approve. I really can't wait to see how you pull this off.
determinator: (♔ Some say you're trouble boy)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-06-11 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Have you?

[DEETS, KIMBLEE]

Have you been meeting with her, then? What all have you been up to?
determinator: (♕ Is not a way that's meant for me)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-06-11 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
We're the only two people here, and I really couldn't care less if you were unprofessional about this.

[Ugh, denying him deets? Rude.]

Indeed? Well, it certainly sounds like it's been interesting.

[Minnie has stopped by to see her dear Lightning. She pauses, slowing down her walk, recognizing him from his fun on the beach.]

Oh, hello!
determinator: (♛ No you don't get another shot)

[personal profile] determinator 2012-06-11 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Just... give him a moment so he doesn't burst out laughing. He can totally handle this; he managed to write Kimbley's escape off as something noble and justified with a (mostly) straight face, so he can totally--]

[Okay, no, he's just going to die laughing, if you don't mind.]


You're kidding. You told her about all that and she believed you?

[nooooo ;;]

I was just coming by to see a friend. I didn't know you worked here!
