♕ 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!]

[...what

no seriously

what

he has never witnessed armstrong do this, what are you even - ]

I'm sorry?

[enjoymyatelier]

...

This has never happened to you?

[explosivecombat]

Given that I haven't the vaguest idea what you're talking about, I think it's safe to say that it hasn't.

[enjoymyatelier]

...

Is this just something that's happening to me, then?

[...WHAT DOES HE TAKE FROM THIS]

[explosivecombat]

[HE...HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW, MAN...]

I...suppose that's possible...

[explosivecombat]

[...y'know]

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.

[enjoymyatelier]

Oh. I... see.

[explosivecombat]

Really, I'm not sure if I should express my deepest sympathies or wish you luck, Lord El-Melloi.

[enjoymyatelier]

...

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

[explosivecombat]

Do be careful with him, he's a bit of a sensitive individual.

[enjoymyatelier]

I'm quite sure that won't be an issue for me.

[explosivecombat]

Ah, planning to handle it with your usual degree of charm and grace, are you?

[enjoymyatelier]

Of course.

[...IT'S UP TO YOU TO DECIDE IF THAT'S SELF-AWARE OR NOT, KIMBLEE...]

1/3

[explosivecombat]

[Well! Give him a moment to decide whether he's proud of you for that moment of possible self-awareness or not, Kayneth.]

[explosivecombat]

[... ... ... ... ...

[explosivecombat]

[mmmmmm yeahno that implies you're aware that you're an abrasive son of a bitch most of the time

he doesn't doubt that was sarcastic, but it certainly wasn't self-aware

NEXT]

I wish you the best of luck, then.
