♕ FIFTH COMMAND | TEXT / ACTION [ILEX FOREST]

[determinator]

[An anonymous text has been sent out to all of Johto. All replies will be anonymous as well unless he screws up and anonfails which is highly likely.]

How do you deal with the loss of a close friend?

[For those of you in Ilex Forest, Archer is currently busy training his Pokémon. Or at least, that's what he'd like you to think he's doing. Every so often he'll check the Gear to see if there's a response to that anonymous text.]

[Today really isn't a good day. Archer definitely seems more distracted and agitated than usual, and he's been snapping at his Pokémon all day. Why? It's January 28th. Kimbley would have been twenty-eight today.]

[[Armstrong has actually halted his mad rush so he can reply to the strange text; it's saddened him.]]

You mustn't be afraid to cry, my friend.

[ANONYMOUS TEXT] - FOREVER

[determinator]

[...oh Armstrong... Why isn't he surprised by this?]

It's not that upsetting.

[Kind of the most tsun thing over here right now, good job!]

[sculpted]

[[Because he's Alex motherfuckin' Armstrong, that's why.]]

Ah, yet you asked for help to deal with the pain?

[determinator]

Yes, well...!

[ALKMEKRNKSLEK DAMMIT DON'T DO THAT]

I don't know how to deal with it. Yes, I do need help dealing with the pain. Satisfied?

[sculpted]

[[JUST FEEL LUCKY HE CAN'T SPARKLE THROUGH TEXT!!]]

Then embrace your sad emotions and let them flow through and out of you. Even if it isn't that upsetting, as you said.

I promise you, you'll feel better.
