There's A Thud On The Other Side Of The Door. Archie Raises An Eyebrow, But Decides Not To Inquire.

don't fear the sea

fear what lives inside

"Holy fuck that's the coolest Wooper I've ever seen--"

Tm07 hail

Pokemon Asks: TMs (ORAS) - Accepting! TM07:Hail - What bad habits do you have?

"...Bein' too cool?"

A beat.

"For real tho', uhh. I pick at my nails, 'n I drink sometimes, I guess? Bi' o' a people pleaser, too. Workaholic... 'n I don' get enough sleep. Usually, anyway."

Okay we'll stop there for now.

He clears his throat nervously, before plapping his cheeks.

"Ne'ermind. Err..." Just say it. C'mon, this is so unlike you. "Jus' noticed the device you're tinkerin' with. Was curious 'bout it. I do some tinkerin' myself, too. Always down t'learn more techniques, tho'." He pulls out his phone. It looks highly modified, pretty professionally done, too.

"Been wonderin' how to improve this thing further."

"Uh... yeah, sure."

Weirdo. Sonia glances over her shoulder at the device she's been tinkering with, then back down to her device. Then... sheesh, he's not going away, is he? "...Can I help you with something?"

@emeraldpride asked: "What the hell makes you think you can show your face around here?"

Not the first time he heard those words, truth be told. But when he turns around to look at who's basically telling him to piss off, he can't help but raise a brow. Now who might this be? Somehow familiar, and yet... He doesn't think they have met.

"Bwahaha! What's that? Can't show my mug 'round here, you say?" He leans forward, intimidatingly so (a bad habit he's still to shake), and grins wide. "And why's that?"

"If ya dare come closer... Or are ya too scared?"

Hm. He really feels like chomping now.

...this could get interesting, actually.

"We're bold today, are we, fishbreath?"

WE'RE SWINGING WE'RE SWINGING-

Suggest a song for my muses playlist!

He's just tossing a Pokétoy through the hole in the wall of his guest room. His Mightyena is fetching it each time, happily wagging his tail.
