@intriguant Started Following Archie!

"..." Casually throws it back through the hole. "Well are ya havin' fun?"

"It's always about why d'ya have balls from the ballpit and never are you havin' fun in the ballpit? Is the ballpit fun? Fuck you."

THROWS ANOTHER BALL.

@gnzma replied: throwing a ball of the ballpit in. spoiler we're not fixing it

"...Why the fuck do ya have that?"

Well, he's seated now. Ugh, he hates this. He's supposed to be the tough one here.

"Thanks... I'll b' alri' from here."

"H-here, lemme help ya up," he rushes over to help the merman up and to a seat.

"Why are ya so tense?"

Jeez dude. Calm it with the bouncing. It's making him nervous too at this rate. "Fiiiiine. But yer not gettin' my Aqua lore either."

Doubt he wants it, but still. Archie's quiet for a bit, just staring at Guzma. The fin wiggles slowly stop.

"...Though, I guess. If ya have any questions, this is your time to shoot 'em. I'll be honest."

Oh, fuck's sake. This whole bullshit is getting more and more tense every second, isn't it? Archie falls quiet for a few seconds, and those were enough for Guzma to return to get as annoyed as possible, a leg bouncing with clear nervousness.

What do you know? What the fuck does he wanna know?!

"I know what I know." he grumbled, dismissingly waving a hand "Oi, ya said to be nice, not to be besties. You're like, level -4 when it comes to friendship, ya ain't gettin' any hint of Skull lore dude."

pondering...

"...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.

"Alri', alriiii', calm down there scamp-- We'll talk through the door."

"I can explain...?" Can he really now-- "Err-- The fish tail, I mean."

Oh this isn't bad at all! Good good good the guy who almost flooded Hoenn is here! WHY THE FUCK IS HE A FIIISH--

"WE CAN TALK THROUGH THE DOOR.

Aughhhh…!

He clears his throat nervously, before plapping his cheeks.

"Ne'ermind. Err..." Just say it. C'mon, this is so unlike you. "Jus' noticed the device you're tinkerin' with. Was curious 'bout it. I do some tinkerin' myself, too. Always down t'learn more techniques, tho'." He pulls out his phone. It looks highly modified, pretty professionally done, too.

"Been wonderin' how to improve this thing further."

"Uh... yeah, sure."

Weirdo. Sonia glances over her shoulder at the device she's been tinkering with, then back down to her device. Then... sheesh, he's not going away, is he? "...Can I help you with something?"

@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."
