He's just staring up at the ceiling of Plumeria's bathroom right now... So bored.

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..?"

@aelirus liked for a starter:

Okay the aura of this dude is kinda off. Archie for once doesn't really know where to start. "...Nice uh. Crobat. Got me one o' those too."

He coughs nervously.

Idly moving about a rubber Ducklett in the tub with his hand.

@wingbeatz (Maxie) asked:    ❝ YOU !! ❞ uh oh, Maxie looks mad ( nothing new there ), and he's lunging forward to pointedly jab an extended index finger at the other man. ❝  i've emailed you twice in the last three weeks about a project with no reply. i thought, hm, maybe Archie is finally dead and i'm finally free of him. but here you are after all!! so are you ignoring me ?? ❞ 

"...Since when 're ya in Alola."

He's finally able to go outside for short periods of time again after his injuries. Finally able to use his legs again, and stay in human form for a bit... and then he runs into this guy.

Archie doesn't seem intimidated at all by the finger pointed at him, and instead just stares Maxie down. My guy this is the Malasada shop line.

"Can it wait? I can order in a mo'."

@silverfates asked: "Were you being nice or sarcastic?" (-Lorenz)

"Bwahaha! The first one, of course!" There was no need to be sarcastic right now, even if he sounded like it half the time.

"I think your outfit suits ya. No lies here."

"...?"

...fish.

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.

What were they doing exactly? Archie returns the kiss either way, grip on the other's throat growing a tiny bit looser as he gets briefly lost in the moment.

"And yet yer enjoyin' this."

He knows that groan. He's had it happen before too, but he's not gonna admit that to his face.

A hum, pulling Guzma's face back in for another rough smooch, a smirk on his features.

He's also gonna be a tad cheeky and move his free hand to Guzma's hair, tugging at it.

Oh he cannot fucking stand his cunt. Hoping that the groan he couldn't keep in was caused by the hand holding on his throat rather than actual goddamn pleasure from the bite, Guzma squinted before rolling his eyes.

Looking for insults to throw, mostly, as his own hand moved away from Archie's to find his jaw, grasping at it-- maybe a little too forcefully.

"Ya kiss like a virgin."

And yet he goes in for a third one, teeth preceeding lips. And tongue.

He could always blame it on the stress of the past few days, who the fuck cares.

"So when are we fixing the hole in the wall of my room?"
