♕ TENTH COMMAND | VIDEO

[determinator]

[The video opens to two badge cases, each with all eight Johto Gym Badges arranged neatly. The camera turns to focus on Archer then; he's smirking even more than usual, if that's even possible.]

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the previous record for earning all the Gym Badges was eleven months?

[It's not really a question. He remembers exactly what Mustang said.]

Kimblee and I have done it in eight.

[He'll give you all a moment to absorb that knowledge. Yes, yes, they're amazing, he knows~]

We're both seeking challenges from others who have gathered the Gym Badges. We both have teams at level 100, though we also have lowered-leveled Pokémon, if you're interested in challenging either of us. We would be interested in double battling as well, if any of you are interested.

[...Well, he would, at least. Sorry, Kimblee, you have no choice~]

We look forward to it.

[OOC: This is a double post! You'll receive replies from either Kimblee or Archer!]

"Quaint" is how I would describe it, yes. She showed me that place she's keeping; she offered me somewhere to stay, something to eat. Given that you seem to understand war at least as well as I do, I think you know how quickly those sorts of things endear people to soldiers.

She's a bit overtrusting, perhaps, but not a bad person at all. Rather sweet.

As for Archer...whether you're jumping the gun or not, you're correct in that assumption; we've worked together for a while.

[He doesn't seem terribly inclined to hand that 'Gear over to anyone, however.]

He had nothing to do with this attack against Lightning; he had to personally order the information out of me, really. I take assignments from others as it suits me to do so. Freelance work, if you will.

... So you did do it.

You just did not do it for your own gains is what you are saying.

[Because that is what you just said, isn't it Kimblee?

He can circle back round to how fucking cute Minnie is in a minute.]

[explosivecombat]

Precisely - while I do have my own reasons for acting as I do, very little of it is directly for my own gain.

I've nothing against Miss Farron myself, really.

[meatysoviet]

[That's fine, he can completely relate to that.]

Very well. There is no more reason to dwell on it.

Not for now anyway.

[Because it's benefiting you somehow Kimblee, he just hasn't figured out how yet.]

Apart from an egotistical little thing she doesn't seem so bad~

I still prefer Ms. Mouse however- at least with her you know there is no pretense.

A surprising number of people are like that here, actually; they're all so...horribly naive. They don't seem to realize that trusting so easily is a good way to get yourself killed.
