@livingshinycharm asked: " ...I Cant Swim"

80% of the ocean is unexplored by YOU GUYS. i've seen the whole thing

Ah. He's the owner. Good to know.

"Cool women?" Interesting. "An' I prefer the term merfolk."

While he'd rather shout, it seems unwise to do so right now. Because of his injuries, but also because he'd rather not be kicked out all hurt without a place to stay. So he'd try his best to be civil.

"...The name's Archie."

No need to lie. It'd probably bite him in the ass, anyway. Archie attempts to sit up a little to see the other better, but quickly abandons the idea when yep, that hurts like a motherfucker.

"An' yerself?"

"I'm the owner of this shithole!!!!!"

He never paid a single dime to be the de-facto owner, but so far nobody tried to evict them so we're good.

"And the nice lady usually brings home cool women, not. Fish men."

A scoff, a quick shrug. Whatever, he doesn't feel like starting a yelling match with the backup singer of the Mermaid Melody. Still doesn't mean he'll act any less aggressive for the time being. Betta fish kinda behavior, to stay in theme with this bullshit.

"Is princess Ariel gonna introduce himself, or..?"

"It's my month!!!"

"...Y'know you're allowed to say somethin' else than 'Oh beans' right."

What even is this team he's ended up in the middle of. "Like, yanno, 'Holy shitballs' 'r summin."

A sigh, clawed hand resting on the injury he sustained earlier this week.

"Still-- Ain't this the admin's bathroom? I would've kicked ya out o' the team if I found ya in my private room back then."

" Im notnsure biteing them will make my pockets any bigger....plus I dont know where they have been.."

She didnt even register the tsil at first.

"Like why cant i put my hand in my pocket! Sure its an excuse to use a REALLY cute Buneary backpack but like I wanna use a pocket too!..."

"OH BEANS! You have a fish tail! Neat!"

"I'd say so, yeah."

Hmm. Maybe this Crobat was also weird. Still. It hadn't attacked him just yet.

"What 'bout yerself? You seem strong, too."

Archie's crobat rests on his shoulder for a bit. Not getting on the ground with that other one right now, thank you. Didn't pass the vibe check.

Cyrus' Crobat was as curious about Archie as its companion had been. It sniffs him all over, taking particular interest in his legs. When it got as much information as it'd get smelling the 'human', it rest its heavy body on the ground to keep an eye on Archie and the fellow bat. Wings kept the front half of its body up.

It's energy wasn't... friendly. Similar to Cyrus, it was way too intense, in fact. Like it could launch up and attack at any moment.

Cyrus was unperturbed by this obvious tension.

"That looks to be a powerful Crobat. Are you a skilled trainer?"

pondering...

@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.

"...Until I feel better?"

"BWAHAHAHA!!" So he was planning on starting shit with him when he felt better? Now that's funny. No, really, it hurts to laugh but fuck he's doing it. At this rate he's gonna pop his stitches.

"Lookin' forward to it." Archie grins, leaning a little closer. Been a while since he had a good fist fight, and a laugh, too.

"...I guess I can't force ya t'like me, tho'. Jus' felt like ya'd understand me a bit. Even if I'm a merfolk."

"Daaamn, really? Who would've thought bein' forced to be nice doesn't woooork."

Hey, he's shit at that. Who gives a shit. As far as he knows, he's not yelling or insulting him, so that's nice enough.

"Dude, don't flatter yourself. I don't hate ya.

Just don't like ya." a shrug "Simple as."

For no reason at all, of course. ...at least until he offers to punch him?!

"--huh??? Nah, hey-- nah. I promised Plumes I wasn't gonna start shit until ya feel better, and I'm fuckin' not taking a punch in the face and just sit here like, hoh, thank you for the free therapy!"
