"Whatevs, Hmm? Heh."

@intriguant started following Archie!

Wait he knows this guy. Not sure if he'd recognize him, though. Wouldn't surprise him if he did, and that's why he's tailing after him right now.

"...Can I help ya?"

"Keep 'em? That's generous of ya. I hope I won't be needin' them soon, though, but it might take a bit."

So they knew who he was. Doesn't surprise him too much, but still. He figured he'd introduce himself anyway. "Yer Ree, righ'? The Champ?"

Could probably kick his ass. Not that he was worried about it too much. He was a changed man, and tried his best to be good... even if it was hard sometimes.

“I know who you are.”

Ree thinks about tossing the bottle, but … they’ve got no depth perception, and they wouldn’t be able to accurately throw it. So they step forward and place it on the bedside— keeping a safe but respectable distance.

“… here. They should help, or somethin. Take two at first if it really hurts.”

A pause. Ree’s chest itches a little bit.

“You can keep it. You pro’lly need it more than me.”

TM12:Taunt - Share some trash talk/pick a fight with someone.

Pokemon Asks: TMs (ORAS) - Accepting!

"Hey. Come closer."

Yeah Faba you're the target I'm afraid.

He's about to say something, but that'd totally ruin the moment, so he closes his mouth again.

Still, his expression probably says enough. He's literally pouting like a sore loser. If it weren't for these wounds...

Archie huffs, but soon enough he's pulled back in, the marking causing him to let out a groan. He feels a little useless, though, being stuck without much movement options. Maybe they could have another round when he was feeling better. Wait what?

The Aqua opts to pull Guzma closer, one hand roughly cupping his face and tugging him into another bitey smooch.

Yeah, nah. We're not moving anymore. As soon as Archie dared to try and get back on top, the same hand that until then was busy holding the former Aqua's jaw moved on his chest, all while its twin still tried to lift his shirt, making sure he wouldn't try anything weird.

Just as he realizes that, all things considered, he won that little match, Guzma finally dares to smirk, breaking the kiss with the umpteenth bite just to hiss at the scratches on his back, breathing against the other's lips before once again pushing himself against neck, leaving yet another mark on it.

At this point, he might as well keep on playing this game, yeah?

"...No worries scamp, I'm good." Not more hurt than he already was, thankfully.

"Aw shit, he's hurt!!" Clo panics as he sees Archie on the ground.

@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."

"Well, yeah, I've seen a fair bi' o' it all. But I still haven't seen e'rythin'."

The ocean was vast, after all. And deep, too. The depths were rather scary... Even for him.

"Ya really wanna go down there?"

"The ocean is really pretty! Now that I live near it I want to be able to explore it"

She seemed to drift off in thought a .oment bwfore looking back at him.

" I bet youve explored a ton of it!"

@cataleyatakahashi liked for a starter:

"..." Well, this is kinda awkward. He's not sure if the other wandered in for a reason, and if she did, that that reason was him to begin with. "Did Plumes-- Plumeria send ya?"

Guzma is gonna kill him if he's caught saying Plumes. But it's just a fun nickname... Anyway, back to the issue at hand. Injured guy with a fishtail stuck in Plumeria's bath tub (him), and this new person. At this rate the whole of Team Skull will be aware of merfolk.

"I am wearin' it, yeaAAAAHHH--"

"MATE THAT'S NO' THE SPEED LIMIT--"

Okay why did he agree to join this person in this vehicle of death. He's regretting it so badly right now. People can probably hear him scream from streets away at this point.

"I'LL WALK--"

Vicious just grinned and he settled into the driver's seat and started the vehicle. "Glad to hear we are understanding each other. Do make sure your seatbelt is on." It was a fair warning in his books before the car sped off, he was driving way faster than he should, he had no issue driving at that speed, and he was used to out-running cops nd whatnot. He wondered how much his new companion would freak out if he admitted he was half blind.

@gnzma i think i deserve a little respect. [ bc i had to hold him back from sending the ass one ]

"...I ne'er said I didn't respect ya?" Huh. Confusing. He did actually have some respect for the other at least. "But fine. What do ya want me t'do t'prove it?"
