@silverfates asked: "Were You Being Nice Or Sarcastic?" (-Lorenz)

He's just staring up at the ceiling of Plumeria's bathroom right now... So bored.

"...?"

...fish.

hi my brain is full of epic the musical lately.

anyway ruthlessness from epic, specifically for aquaverse archie

OH HELL YEAH!!!

I've also been listening to Epic the musical lately handshakes u I have just not listened in order yet oop

BUT YEAH I CAN SEE IT!!!

"Whatevs, hmm? Heh."

"Gotcha, scamp. I won't splash everywhere. Just a li'l bit."

Ah. What's this sinking feeling? It's a good thing PJ can't see him right now, 'cause he looks like he wants to cry.

He hates people seeing him less tough than he acts. He's supposed to be the strong one here.

But he's been hiding the severity of his injuries pretty well. Or maybe he's just used to it with his many visits to the depths? This is not his first rodeo, but it doesn't get easier as he gets older.

"Ya know where t' find me if ya need me, yeah? I'll be here. See ya-- Or well, talk t'ya later, maybe."

A quiet, yet very emotional groan later: "yea no duh. Of course I gotta."

...he'll probably involve Plumeria too. For some reason he doesn't think the Boss would go nuclear right there and then, but at least she could calm him down? Or... at least they could discuss about this whole situation????? Fuck's sake.

"I mean. Skulls have no issues with Aqua." just he does "If you were a Rocket or one of the Kalosians I'd understand but--"

...but it's still scary, right? It's still scary.

"...whatevs."

WHAAATEVS!!!

"Don't... splash everywhere???"

THIS IS FUCKING WEIRD.

Okay, now he's serious. Good.

Archie has to clench his jaw for this one, 'cause fuck it hurts, but he ain't raised no quitter. Still beats most creatures in the depths of the ocean, truthfully.

He can't help but chuckle, before hissing again. Oof. "Alrigh'. Ya can bite, I'll give ya that."

He bites as hard as he can, and yet the guy fucking laughs. Goddddd, whatever. Weird mood over. He's still pissing him off.

Guzma half considers just let go and ignore him, but. Come on. That's a challenge now. He's biting harder.

"I can take on all o' you without even movin'."

@whereskymeetsea approached: " i was pretty mean back then, wasn't i? " <- said with a chill yet slightly smug grin. yea. mean. she kicked his ass severely

"...Yeah, actually. Ya were." He hasn't forgotten the massive ass-kicking, no. "Ya still smug 'bout it, hmm? Well, no matter. I needed it a' the moment."

@livingshinycharm entered Plumeria's bathroom unauthorized: "Lady clothes pockets dont have a space to hold a pokeball or a chapstick... Ijust wanna hold my phone and a bag of skittles in my pocket man...."

"Uh-huh. That's nice 'n all but I dun think ya are allowed to be in here--" He's still in his merfolk form, curled up in Plumeria's bathtub, which he has been told is the best one of the house.

This is kinda awkward, and yet he has some advice? "I think ya should jus' bite 'em."

Never said it was good advice.

"How has it been weeks since I started playin' this game..." He's still playing Pokémon Crossing...

@viciousrocket asked: “ please don’t question my driving or parking skills . you couldn’t even begin to understand the level i’m on . ”

"I think I can definitely understand what level yer on."

He doesn't like cars too much. They're a weird human invention. Boats were much better, even if he technically didn't need one himself.

"Just get us where we need to be."
