humans: what is my muse’s view on humans? do they like them? fear them? indifferent toward them?
for the merfolk…
"Love 'em." A grin as he shifts on the bed, hands behind his head as he rests against the headboard. "They're just so... What's the word. Silly? Goofy? Fuckin' wild? They have all these crazy inventions--" A frown. "Some of them I do hate, I must say. Who the fuck thought beds 're comfortable. Who invented cars. Who invented gluten." He just wants to talk.
"They're also a lo' friendlier than the creatures in the depths. At least most humans don't stab first and ask questions later, yanno?"
There's a thud on the other side of the door. Archie raises an eyebrow, but decides not to inquire.
Crisis somewhat averted, though? Not that he lied about anything, just-- He always feels so guilty whenever people recognize him. Fair enough, though. He did some awful things. "That's jus' how I was born. I'm a merfolk. An' I'm no' the only one either, not from the merfolk nor from whatcha call supernatural people."
"…I know, I--"
A groan, and he let himself fall down, his back pressed on the door. Being worried about a guy who almost ended the world and regretted his action was quite hypocritical for someone working for Guzma, huh…? Especially if he was dragged in there like most of the Skulls.
"…and, uhm.
The… tail, then?"
@whereskymeetsea // Gameverse: "I think this went on for long enough, yeah?" For someone her age, who just ripped through an entire evil base, Sapphire seemed way too calm. She beamed with the pride only a teenager could have, a PokèBall tossed in the air just to get caught once more in her left hand, the right on her hips. "What will it be, captain? Do you want to quit the easy way or the fun way?:
Her being here meant one single thing. His entire base got wiped.
And yet, he's grinning. No, laughing. His laughter bellows through the room, despite his grunts and admins being unable to fight. He's the last hurdle now. The only one who can protect this plan of his.
"Ya think so? But it was jus' gettin' fun!" Archie reaches for his belt clip. "O' course we're doing this the fun way! Who do ya take me fer??"
"--Okay??" Well, she's off... So he tosses the bag to the side of the bed again. Now he can only hope for the best.
"Nope! No money required ! I will be right back! I will see what I can get!"
With that she was off like a zubat out of hell.
"...I can't have some o' tha', I'm afraid."
Curse his sensitive stomach... Part of him would eat the cupcake anyway, but... He's still healing a bit.
"They're super cool, tho'."
"Cupcake ingredients. I bought a pack of them. Um" Shes reading the back of the package.
"Four, Sugar, Egg, baking powder, salt, chocolate chips, butter, milk, and Vanilla iceing"
She looked at the cupcake.
"Oh and there is a little plastic ring that looks like a water stone on top!
"Thank ya."
He might sound sarcastic here, and maybe he is a tiny bit (he hasn't forgotten their first interaction), but he's also kinda grateful for a distraction right now. Archie sits up a little, blanket wrapped around his shoulders.
"So... I've gotta say, you've got a nice team goin' here. Real good people. Feels like a family." He misses that. A lot.
"...fine."
He's sitting down. Arms crossed, practically slouched on the nearest chair, giving him a sign as to say 'let's get this shit going'.
@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.
tomorrow im slapping Pokémon Crossing away from archie... ))
