♕ SIXTH COMMAND | VIDEO

[The video opens to a nondescript room, focused on nine different types of eggs, all neatly propped up by pillows. Curled around the eggs is a sleepy-looking Persian, who seems rather annoyed that her nap has been interrupted by the video. Archer isn't in the shot.]

I have been experimenting with Pokémon breeding. Sheska has assisted me. These are the results.

[To those who actually know Archer, the strange, clipped speech might seem a bit odd. He hasn't been feeling well lately, no big deal!]

The following Pokémon are available for sale: Shinx, Murkrow, Zubat, Porygon, Hoothoot, Mime Jr, Pawniard, Litwick, and Audino. I also have two hatched Onixes for sale. The majority of these have egg moves as well. If you're interested, I can give you the prices. Thank you for your time.

[And end feed!]

(The egg post is here! Anything that isn't sold will be shoved in Archer's PC box forever. You don't have to comment to the egg post if you're interested!)

[Right, right. Let's just... pretend that didn't happen...]

I don't know what you're talking about, Sheska. I've been fine.

[The unimpressed look might not mean much, but the stress on the last word says much more. He must be getting careless if Sheska's calling him out on this.]

[ What is that suppose to mean? She's plenty observant and knows when other people are acting off :c ]

It's not that I don't believe your claims of being fine, sir, but... well, actually I don't at all. [ What she's trying to say is that you're being a big fat liar. ]

[Yes, but he's an asshole. c: ]

...What.

[That's not a question, it's a statement.]

Are you accusing me of lying, Sheska?

Edited 2012-03-06 19:51 (UTC)

[ Eek, she's treading on thin ice now, isn't she? ]

Uh, not exactly lying, but unsure of how you're feeling? [ Yeah, that totally makes sense. ]

[Archer's eyes narrow at that, but otherwise he doesn't give a response right away.]

I'm well-aware of what I'm feeling, Sheska.

[Which is Archurian for "yeah, I was lying and trolling you by making you worry, so?"]

It's none of your concern.

Colonel Archer, sir, you're wrong. As your subordinate, it's part of my duty watch for my direct superior. [ Oh snap, could Sheska be growing a backbone? ]

Um, I'm sorry for speaking out of line like that. [ Nope, still a pushover. ]

[That... was actually really sweet. He's not sure what to do with that at all. So have some blank staring!]

...I suppose...?

[No really, you've shocked him into submission, Sheska! Good job!]

You really don't need to worry about me, Sheska. It's nothing.

Well, I wouldn't feel... right, leaving you as you are. You've done a lot for me, sir, so I want to be able repay my debt.

[...You are seriously the sweetest thing. What does he do with someone like you?]

It's fine. It's nothing you need to concern yourself with. I'm just having some difficulty with my battling partner. Don't worry about it.

[If by "some difficulty" he means "Kimblee left me" then sure!]

...Your battling partner, sir? [ Is 'battling partner' code for something or is it exactly what it says on the tin? ]

[It's... exactly what it says on the tin + Team Rocket has assigned them to work together so...]

...Kimblee.

[ Kimblee? The 'likes to blow people and shit up' Kimblee? That Kimblee?

Er, right, don't just stare in shock Sheska, you gotta say something. ]

So, uh, did you and... Kimblee have a... disagreement, sir?

[Oh come on, don't you remember the other Kimbley? ...Well, he really wouldn't be surprised if you didn't, he tried not to mention that jackass.]

...I suppose you could say that. He left.

[ Hey, look, this different universes and Kimblee/Kimbley stuff is complicated, okay? Man, she didn't even know he was here. ]

Hm, so the two of you separated and went your different ways... [ Well that isn't an awkward way to phrase it or anything. ] When did he leave?

The morning after the masquerade. He left a note and departed before I woke up.

[He's silent for a moment.]

...It doesn't matter. I don't need him.

[Except for the part where he's kind of the most codependent thing and he really does need Kimblee. Not that he's realized that yet!]

[ Oh come on, even she can tell that's bs. ]

Ah, I'm don't know much about your partnership, sir, but I don't believe that's true. It seems like Kimblee's departure has affected you, possible more than you realize, sir.

I'm fine, Sheska.

[Maybe if he says it enough he'll believe it!]

Thank you for your concern, but you don't need to bother. I'm fine.

But... [ Uugh, she's not sure what else to say, but she can't just end the conversation like this. Hm, what would Hughes do? Besides push photos of family members.

...

Oh, brage his way in! Although how would she do that...

Yeah, don't mind Sheska just pondering to herself what to do, Archer. ]

But what?

[Archer will at least humor Sheska! He doesn't want to talk about it but it's... really nice having someone who actually kind of cares.]

[...Wow, he's desperate.]

[ Oh, instead of barging in she could drag him out! ]

But... you shouldn't spend your time thinking him. Forget him! Show him that you don't need him! [ Even if you do but hey, she's read about this sort of stuff in romance novels. Fiction=reality right? ]

[...If he knew you were giving him advice based on romance novels...]

I... What?

[He hadn't thought of it this way.]

Well of course I don't need him.

[...How does he go about not relying on Kimblee though...?]

[ Good thing you don't! Because that would probably ruin whatever credibly she has. ]

E-exactly! Go out and enjoy life without him. [ Wait what friends and what life? ]

[That's a good point... he doesn't have either.]

I suppose... I hadn't thought of it that way.

It's always good to get a second opinion. [ Even if that opinion is from bookworm with terrible people skills. ]
