"..." So That's How This Was Gonna Be, Hmm? He's In The Shittiest Position Right Now Too, 'cause If He

@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."

@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?"

Shes not here yet but flower emoji sapphire?

SEND “ ✿ ” FOR 2 HEADCANONS FOR OUR MUSES’ RELATIONSHIP.

Archie is probably like some weird uncle to Sapphire despite everything that happened. Takes her on fishing / diving trips and the like.

Sapphire knows about the merfolk dealio. I feel like Archie told her after the team disbanded.

"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-

He's just sleeping peacefully, despite being a little cramped in this bathtub, when suddenly-- Thonk!

"..." He slowly opens his eyes, squinting at the figure in the doorway. This was not the nice(?) lady who helped him out, but instead... some dude, staring down at him.

The piece of paper is floating in the water, getting soggy... He grabs it, and without a word throws it, aiming at Guzma's face.

@nolongeraqualeader

Plumeria has told you there is a fish guy in her private bathtub. When you go look, there IS actually a fish guy in there. He's currently asleep, snoozing half submerged in water with a pained expression on his face. Plumes had attempted to patch him up with bandages, her knowledge of medicine coming in handy, but was it enough? He briefly stirs, shark-like tail twitching slightly and splashing some water out of the tub. Seems like he's out for a bit more, unless someone wakes him up?

Well fuck me running there sure is a fish guy in the bathtub. At this point, would anything surprise him? Anything at all? He saw enough whacky shit in his life-- nah, fuck it, in the past decade alone, to not even make him particularly surprised.

He's kind of. Just staring at this point. An eyebrow up, a rolled piece of paper thrown up and down, his head tilted slightly on the side as he leans on the side of the door.

...and then throws it at his head.

"Wakey wakey."

Whatever. Let's deal with the umpteenth bullshit, too.

"Well. Good fer ya?"

Archie shifts in the tub, looking over the brim briefly. No Wooper-- "Wait, pink?"

Yeah that's all he got from that sentence. He sighs, allowing himself to slide back in the water. "I'm kinda stuck here, lassy. But if I see him I'll send him uh. Out o' the door I guess? I'll ask 'im real nicely."

' Oh It just comes out like that. I dont mean to say it. Crabapples! Is another one I yell a lot. Just slips out"

She tiltes her head.

"Well..ya see the thing is..I was playing hide and Seek with Peachy pie...And I thought he might have come in here...have you seen a pink wooper with a boy tie and a blank look on his face like he just made Arceus weep?"

"Guzma..."

Does it ring any bells? If he thinks real hard about it, it kinda does, actually. But only 'cause he was born in Alola and keeps up with the news. Kinda ironic he ended up at another evil team's place after being a leader of one himself a while ago.

"So ya... destroy things?" He wants the nice lady with the braincells back.

"An' I am grateful. Fer now." Why'd he have to add that last part? Archie shifts a bit, trying to get comfortable. It was kinda hard, even if it was the nicest tub they had apparently.

"...Yer not gonna destroy me, right? Wouldn't be a fair figh', yanno?"

"I said what I said."

Something regarding him not being her type. Specifically for the fact that she's not into men. Or fishes. Or fishes who look like men. Or viceversa-- Whatever he's wasting time overthinking about this bullshit. Especially since the guy finally introduced himself and the name sounded--

...familiar? Why why whyyyyy some guy's name sounded familiar. Maybe one of his grunts mentioned someone called like him some time ago?

Whatever, it's a name like any other.

"Guzma." and here comes the confident smirk "Leader of Team Skull, destruction in human form. So ya better be grateful the gang's havin' some compassion for your sorry ass."

Even if he'd love for Plumes to ask next time she wants to plop some mythological creature in her bathroom.

"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.

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

magic: does my muse have any other magical properties / abilities? 

for the merfolk… 

"Oh, yeah, loads o' 'em actually." He doesn't elaborate on what, but here's a few of them: - Telekinesis - Water manipulation - Siren song (really potent and a big no no to use. Kinda an unspoken rule in the merfolk world not to use it)
