♕ TWELFTH COMMAND | VIDEO / ACTION [MAHOGANY TOWN, TEAM ROCKET BASE]

[ VIDEO ]

[The video feed opens to Archer playing with a Venipede. Said Venipede is glaring at the camera - how dare it take his trainer's attention away!]

I've been in Johto for one year.

[Yes, this is a very important announcement. Archer doesn't look up at the camera, instead continuing to toy with Kann's anntenae.]

To those of you who have been here for quite some time, have you decided that you want to stay here? Why or why not?

[To those of you familiar with Archer, he seems quite a bit distant today. The fact that he's not looking at the camera is one sure sign, but he's also looking a little... down, for lack of a better word. He's not even trying to be threatening. This must be a first!]

I'd appreciate any opinions, even from those of you who haven't been here for very long.

[He gestures airily and the Alakazam running the 'Gear turns it off.]

[ ACTION - MAHOGANY TOWN, TEAM ROCKET BASE ]

[Should you find yourself in Mahogany Town today and you decide to explore the Team Rocket Base (which really shouldn't be all that difficult to find if you know what you're looking for), you'll find that the place is rigged with Voltorbs that will explode as soon as they enter a battle. They're not the only threat, however! There are five Psychic-types just waiting beyond there, all with orders to attack any intruders. They're also high leveled, but don't worry! They'll at least let their trainer know before attacking you!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to enter the base and either defeat the Psychic-types or persuade them to keep from attacking! Show them you mean no harm and they won't hurt you! After all, there might be something valuable or useful inside that base ~~probably not~~...

Archer is holed up in a room inside the base (Kimblee's old room, to be specific), still amusing himself by playing with Kann, the ridiculously powerful Venipede. Feel free to come bother him!]

THAT WAS SARCASTIC

SHUT UP

[.............................how does he get it off capslock-- oh, there we go!]

Why wouldn't you return home immediately?

[...YOU JUST TSUNED AT HIM THROUGH TEXT

OH MY GOD HE'S KIND OF GLAD THAT YOU CAN'T SEE HIM, THAT LAUGH WAS REALLY UNDIGNIFIED HOLD ON

HOLD ON

OKAY WE'RE GOOD]

Of course, of course.

In all seriousness, however, I have rather come to like it here.

[HE IS FUCKING MAGICAL, DEAL WITH IT, BITCH]

Well I'd certainly hope so. We have a lot going for us here.

[TRUE...]

So we do.

And while I'm sure this will go directly to your ego, I suppose it's appropriate to say that I'm actually pleased to have gotten the chance to meet you here, yes.

[+100 EGO POINTS

ARCHER'S EGO LEVELED UP]

It's not every day you get to meet someone quite as amazing as I am, I know.

That said, I'm glad to have gotten the chance to meet you too.

[ahahaha holy shit

where did that even come from]

Given how amazing you are, I suppose that's an extremely high compliment?

Yes, yes it is. You should be honored.

[He just. has all the feels today, okay. Most of them are Kimbley-related feels but. You are kind of similar!!]

Perhaps I am, then.

[........]

You mentioned the opportunities before, as a reason for wanting to stay. However, morbid curiosity compels me to ask -

Are you actually content here?

Why wouldn't I be?

[He doesn't feel comfortable texting it, but they could conquer this world. Why wouldn't he be content here?]

I never said you weren't. However, there's a difference between preferring the lesser of two evils and actually being content with what you've been dealt.

I suppose that's true. I'm very content with what I have here, Kimblee. This isn't just the lesser of two evils; I'm genuinely happy here.

Good to know, then.

[...it's also somewhat awkward to know, but at the very least it's something.]

Did you really think I wasn't?

[But why wouldn't he be happy here? Headtilting so hard right now, you have no idea.]

Whether you are or you aren't isn't really anything that concerns me most of the time; you seem satisfied enough with what we're doing, and with the work I've done for you. That's mostly what matters to me.

This was more a matter of personal curiosity than anything.

[...his social skills are flawless shut up]

And you couldn't just ask that in the first place?

[...Kimblee, honey...]

Well, that would have been awkward.

[Because this totally isn't.]

Right. Like this isn't.

[ >:| ]

Not particularly, no.

Still wanting company, by any chance?

Maybe.

[...Don't make him admit that, okay.]

I'll be there in a few minutes, then. Do ensure that your creatures aren't going to rip me apart, hm?

[Hopefully you'll be less of a basket case today.]

Of course, Kimblee. I'll see you then.

[Oh don't worry, he's doing a bit better! Really! But anyway, he'll make sure Alekhine and the others get the Voltorbs out of the way before you get there!]

[He appreciates not getting blown to pieces, Archer, as amusingly ironic as that would be; he's rather aware of where you're staying by now, and at the very least he's prompt in getting there - it's fairly plain that his mind hasn't been on his training for a while, given exactly how prompt he is.

He knocks before entering, the sound quick and light, but it's obviously just a formality as opposed to requesting permission; he opens the door immediately afterwards, entering and pulling it shut behind him.]

My apologies for keeping you waiting, Archer.

[The comment is flippant enough, at least. Casual.

...yeahno he's not sorry in the least but hopefully you're not annoyed]

[Oh, he knows Kimblee isn't sorry at all. He can't say he really minds, given how prompt Kimblee was anyway.]

It's fine.

[That's followed by an airy gesture. He scoots over on the bed and waits for Kimblee to join him. Kann is currently curled up sleeping on the other side of Archer, so at least he's not glaring daggers at you?]

Thank you for coming so quickly. You didn't have to, you know.

[...that damn roach...

Ah, well. At least the stupid thing is asleep; thank whatever deity's listening for small favors, he supposes. He shoots the thing a bit of a look before joining Archer on the bed; he's familiar with that little gesture by now.]

Again, I would hardly be a good subordinate if I did otherwise, would I?

No, you wouldn't be. And as we both know, you're the best subordinate.

[Oh leave his roach alone, dammit! The poor thing never did anything to you anyway! Don't you dare make it cry again!

But anyway, Archer immediately moves to kind of awkwardly latch onto Kimblee's arm. He's just feeling a little down, that's all. It's nothing big. Sh-shut up.]
