[[Upon surfacing out of the ocean, Magma Admin Mitch did not expect to see an island only a few minutes swim from his position. Nor did he expect to have that infuriating Team Aqua Admin just...disappear. After all the effort he went to in rescuing the guy

However, something seems to have drawn him out today, his gaze both wild and deeply intense; he can't explain exactly how he comes to be on that damn beach, either. The closest thing he can define it as is a presence.
Feels like the Blue Orb - or rather, someone who's handled it. Someone from their world. Not reading the same as Archie, either - not even close.
Of course, that beach is just...kind of confusing in and of itself. The splash of color from that hood, darkened with water though it is, catches his eye; no one from Team Magma should be reading like that, save for -

Just the same, Maxie doesn't look terribly concerned; he just laughs again, the sound decidedly more subdued (not that that's saying too much), one of his hands flicking up in an abrupt but altogether dismissive gesture.]
Don't worry, Mitch. I already knew about Archie; the fact that you don't have the Orb on you is disappointing, but it'll be dealt with in time. What's done is done, right?

[Seriously, Mitch, must you discuss such hideously stupid things now? He'd rather just be pleased to see you for now, thanks; excuse him while he drops down to the sand next to you.]
