♕ TENTH COMMAND | VIDEO
[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!]

Well, I suppose the knowledge that you're some sort of nobility explains a lot when it comes to your general demeanor. [You know, like seeming sheltered as hell, completely oblivious, and having a huge stick up your ass. Those sorts of things.] Although I must admit that's a bit of an...interesting title; I can't say I've heard of it before. Dare I ask what it's supposed to signify?
no subject
Of course it does-this is how the head of any prestigious family going back for generations should act.
[...WELL PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE HERE KNOWS MAGIC EXISTS, DON'T THEY... SHOULD HE JUST... TALK ABOUT IT...]
It signifies exceptional prowess in the study of magecraft.
no subject
let him just point you to this handy diagram and we can all move on with our lives, okay]
Magecraft...I've met another that's openly referred to what they can do as "magic," but it's something that I would have expected from him; it's rare that I would hear someone older refer to it as such. Do you specialize in any particular field, or is it more generalized?
[Because no, seriously, do you people not hear how dumb that sounds? It makes you sound ridiculously uneducated to call it "magic," that's something he'd expect from a six-year-old.]
no subject
It does tend to be easier to refer to it as 'magic' when talking to people who would be ignorant of the distinction between true magic and magecraft, given how greatly the laws regarding what I would consider to be magecraft vary over different worlds.
In any case, I specialize in spiritual evocation and alchemy.
no subject
[Okay, yes, there was something before that and he admittedly has no goddamn idea what you mean by "spiritual evocation" - really, that could be fancy shorthand for I'M A DEMON LORD, but he doesn't really care about that right now, that latter one was much more interesting.]
Please tell me that it's more than transmuting lead into gold where you're from, because that's what I tend to get thrown at me when I try to discuss it with others.
no subject
Yes, it's certainly more than that. It has an extremely wide range of applications, though I'm not surprised that the average person tends to boil it down to that.
[...though...]
You're an alchemist from a world without magecraft, then? Would you know Mr. Alex Louis Armstrong, by any chance?
[HE HAS SOME QUESTIONS HE REALLY NEEDS ANSWERED...]
no subject
As for Major Armstrong...I know him a bit, yes. He's a bit of an interesting one - I'm assuming you've met him?
no subject
...Interesting doesn't even begin to cover it.
no subject
[...YOU ARE ALL FUCKING INSANE.]
Right, well. Major Armstrong is an alchemist as well; has he discussed it with you any, or was your meeting with him one of the, ah, more unusual encounters?
no subject
[SHUT UP IT MAKES SENSE.]
We haven't discussed it too much, given that he spends far too much time being incredibly bizarre. Why does he insist on taking his shirt off all the time, exactly?
no subject
no seriously
what
he has never witnessed armstrong do this, what are you even - ]
I'm sorry?
no subject
This has never happened to you?
no subject
no subject
Is this just something that's happening to me, then?
[...WHAT DOES HE TAKE FROM THIS]
1/2
I...suppose that's possible...
no subject
Of course, now that I think about it, I wouldn't be surprised if Armstrong were to be interested in men - it's not something I had considered before, but...yes, that would be entirely unsurprising. And he seems the inner-beauty sort, so I -

...admittedly still have no idea why he would be interested in you, but it is a thought.

Oh. I... see.

I will be sure to make my disinterest obvious as soon as possible, then.
