♕ THIRD COMMAND | VIDEO / ACTION [MAHOGANY TOWN]
[Shortly after meeting up with Kimblee, Archer turns on the video feed. It's currently focused on a Meowth who doesn't seem to be very pleased sitting on the ground, she keeps pawing at Archer's leg in an attempt to get him to pick her up.]
...I'm not entirely sure how this world works, but I believe it's safe to say that it's horrifying.

Welcome to the world of Breeding Pokemon where everything comes from eggs. ...And I really mean it, everything - um, every pokemon, really.

[Anyway, Archer will respond in a few minutes, looking noticeably less manic, though it seems all that shrieking took a toll on his voice.]
...All of them? [But... he has a bat. Bats don't come from eggs. Kittens don't come from eggs. Okay, no, no, he is not going to freak out again. Deep breaths, Archer.]

[The question is far more tense than it should be, and after a moment, Archer amends,] Is there any particular reason? Is it just this world's way of doing things?

Needless to say, it was not, in fact, a good idea.
After a moment of simply staring at the feed and trying to process exactly what he was witnessing...well. Shriek...ing that is shrieking Archer you do not usually start shrieking like that and what in the world has happened to your brain, good sir.
His reply is curt, when he manages to get one out; his tone is straightforward and incredibly blunt, though he doesn't seem angry.]
...return to the base as soon as you're capable of it.
[That's all you're getting for now. You had better get back here before too long; he does not want to go out there and locate you.]

[It takes several minutes for Archer to collect himself enough to pick up the kitten and walk back to the base. He's still shaking slightly by the time he enters, but the shrieking has stopped. He no longer feels the urge to laugh about this either, that's probably a good sign.]
Kimblee. [He's quick to greet the alchemist, once again not making eye contact. He instead focuses on the kitten, scratching her behind the ears for a moment before setting her down.]
[...He isn't looking forward to this conversation.]
Reply
[Again, Kimblee's voice is calm; they'll eventually have to move this conversation somewhere a bit more private, as he isn't interested in arguing and generally carrying on in public, even if this place is a bit more secure than most. But for now he's content to remain where he is, leaning against a nearby wall, arms folded across his chest and his legs crossed at the ankle. His positioning is incredibly casual, if not idle; it's offset by the coldness in his gaze.]
Have you calmed down?

[The reply is as sarcastic as usual, but his voice cracks horribly in the middle of it. Archer clears his throat, frowning. Normally he's able to go on shrieking rants much longer than that. Clearly he hasn't been screeching enough here. Well, he doesn't have Kimbley to yell at...]
[Archer makes eye contact for a second before immediately glancing down at the kitten. That look is not a good sign. For some reason he can't quite fathom, he's concerned that he'll be scolded by Kimblee. Hell, even if he is there's no reason for him to worry about something like that. It's Kimblee. He'll do what he wants, and Archer couldn't care less.]
...Yes, I have.

[Wow.]

[Another large part of him thinks that this is hilarious, but that's just Envy being himself.]
Yeah, kittens from eggs and that isn't even the half of it. Calm down, if you start screaming over everything that doesn't make sense here you won't have a voice left.
[Still snide, but at least he's not actively trying to make it worse?]
Reply
I'd hate to know what else this world has to offer, then.
[From the sound of it, he's already lost his voice due to shrieking about this world, but thanks for the concern! You're being better about it than Kimblee at least! Though he's a jackass anyway. Not the point.]
Reply
[Like worlds populated by ponies. And wizards. And personifications of countries.]
And of course, there's always the music, just in case anyone ever had a chance to forget exactly what sort of place this is.

But you already know that by now, don't you. Now tell me about the hatchling - what can it do?
Reply
I see you've picked up a new one as well. What is it? [It's kind of... weirdly cute. Like that other one Gorthan has - Ralts, was it?] I haven't attempted to train this one yet, though it seems she's not much different than an actual cat. [Literally. She can Scratch and Growl and that's about it.]
Reply
As for her, [He holds up the pink sheep again.] the species name is Flaaffy. She can store electricity in her body and release it powerfully. It's a common species near Mahogany, and really quite an asset.
Reply
From what I've seen, no. I believe she's a Normal-type. [Which sounds boring, but hopefully she'll learn something useful...?] Are you saying you have some sort of unique abilities? [He did notice the symbol on Gorthan's head before, but his first thought was honestly that it was just a tacky tattoo.]
...Is it now? That's interesting. Now that you mention it, I do believe I've seen a few of them in the wild. [Not like he's had any interest in catching them - the Golbat makes short work of everything it comes across now, much to Archer's delight.]
