SPITS OUT HIS WATER--

"Whatevs, hmm? Heh."

"Gotcha, scamp. I won't splash everywhere. Just a li'l bit."

Ah. What's this sinking feeling? It's a good thing PJ can't see him right now, 'cause he looks like he wants to cry.

He hates people seeing him less tough than he acts. He's supposed to be the strong one here.

But he's been hiding the severity of his injuries pretty well. Or maybe he's just used to it with his many visits to the depths? This is not his first rodeo, but it doesn't get easier as he gets older.

"Ya know where t' find me if ya need me, yeah? I'll be here. See ya-- Or well, talk t'ya later, maybe."

A quiet, yet very emotional groan later: "yea no duh. Of course I gotta."

...he'll probably involve Plumeria too. For some reason he doesn't think the Boss would go nuclear right there and then, but at least she could calm him down? Or... at least they could discuss about this whole situation????? Fuck's sake.

"I mean. Skulls have no issues with Aqua." just he does "If you were a Rocket or one of the Kalosians I'd understand but--"

...but it's still scary, right? It's still scary.

"...whatevs."

WHAAATEVS!!!

"Don't... splash everywhere???"

THIS IS FUCKING WEIRD.

"Ya gonna rat me out, huh?"

There's a moment of silence on his side too, but then-- "BWAHAHA!!" Followed by an "Oof--" When will he learn that laughing this hard is still off limits. He can't help it, though.

"It's bound t' happen sooner rather than later. I'd prefer to tell him myself, but. I getcha. Yer loyal t' yer boss, and I love t'see it. Also, fridge time sounds awful." He's not sure what it means, but if the kid wanted to avoid it, it must suck.

"Can't stop ya either. Kinda stuck like this. Jus' hope I don't get thrown back 'cause I'd be done fer."

"Ah. Yeah. Of course.

Merfolk Aqua boss." another moment of silence "Former Aqua. Sure. Sorry. Okayyyy.

This is the worst life of his life. Taking a long, deep breath as he goes further down, ending on the floor, PJ crosses his arms, sighting as loudly as he could.

"...you know I should, like-- tell the boss who you are, right? No 'cause he's cool and all but if he finds out he has an eco-terrorist in sis' bathtub and I knew all along I would end up on top of the fridge for weeks-"

There's a thud on the other side of the door. Archie raises an eyebrow, but decides not to inquire.

Crisis somewhat averted, though? Not that he lied about anything, just-- He always feels so guilty whenever people recognize him. Fair enough, though. He did some awful things. "That's jus' how I was born. I'm a merfolk. An' I'm no' the only one either, not from the merfolk nor from whatcha call supernatural people."

"…I know, I--"

A groan, and he let himself fall down, his back pressed on the door. Being worried about a guy who almost ended the world and regretted his action was quite hypocritical for someone working for Guzma, huh…? Especially if he was dragged in there like most of the Skulls.

"…and, uhm.

The… tail, then?"

Ahhhhhh shit.

Well, someone was bound to recognize him sooner rather than later. Couldn't exactly wear a disguise in this form either.

"I'm here 'cause Plumeria did me a solid." As much as he is a changed man, and even after he did his time in the slammer, he couldn't blame the general public for still despising him.

"I know wha' I did is fucked. I shouldn't have done it in the first place-- But that's a li'l late, huh? Can't really undo that shit."

He groans, burying his face in his claws briefly.

"Look-- I get it if ya don't trust nor like me. Bu' I'm no' here t'start anythin'. Jus'-- Let me know how I can prove it t'ya."

"Buddy the tail is the least of my problems right now!!!!!"

…what an odd thing to say. Unsure wether or not he should rethink his priorities, PJ hesitates, a hand going through his hair.

"Why are-- why are you here?!"

A very specific kind of you. The kind that implied that he knew perfectly with who he was talking.

"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…!

"I jus' wanna ask ya somethin'... I can't even really like. Leave this thing. Promise."

Yeah okay he has a feeling he's kinda fucked now.

BESTIES WHY THE FUCK IS FORMER LEADER OF TEAM AQUA ARCHIE IN PLUMERIA'S BATHTUB. WHY IS HE A FISH. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!

" no thanks sorry"

@mnstcrbnll // PJ entered the room: enters the bathroom bc plumes needed something. stops. sees archie. slowly closes the door. what the fuckkkk

Uh oh. What was that look for. "Oi-- C'mon back in f'r a sec--"

[ @mnstcrbnll Sirio jumping in for reporting duties ]

"Oh, one second for the cameras! Our stars at home were wondering if you were still planning anything nefarius after so, so many years, but most importantly want to know: have you beaten the Magical Creature allegations after being caught staying underwater for up to half an hour?" 🎤

"Hmm? Nefarious? Nah, not really." He doesn't seem bothered by the questions at all.

"Magical Creature allegations? BWAHAHHA!! That, my friend, is simply a skill issue on landlubbers' parts."
