@cataleyatakahashi liked for a starter:
"..." Well, this is kinda awkward. He's not sure if the other wandered in for a reason, and if she did, that that reason was him to begin with. "Did Plumes-- Plumeria send ya?"
Guzma is gonna kill him if he's caught saying Plumes. But it's just a fun nickname... Anyway, back to the issue at hand. Injured guy with a fishtail stuck in Plumeria's bath tub (him), and this new person. At this rate the whole of Team Skull will be aware of merfolk.
He's just tossing a Pokétoy through the hole in the wall of his guest room. His Mightyena is fetching it each time, happily wagging his tail.
"Yeah no shit. Unless yer Kahuna 'r somethin'."
"Though I'm not sure if that's somethin' ya wanna be? It's usually fer life, anyway. 'cept for recently, I guess? Some bullshit with Koko."
He has no idea the former Kahuna is a honorary Skull, it seems.
"Moltres, hmm? Big fire bird, right?"
“Yeah, uhm. They don’t really… like people.”
As if that’s not the understatement of the century. Ree continues to scratch the inside of their wrist, thinking.
“Jirachi sounds pretty cool. That’s the one that wakes up every thousand years, right? Uhm… I met moltress, once…”
This wasn't on his bingo card for this week.
After a heated discussion, he had him pinned to the wall-- And they're making out now.
Yeah, this might as well happen. Archie smirks upon the bite, copper taste filling his mouth upon licking the mark.
"...Heh." He pulls Guzma back into the kiss, trying to return the favour of the bitemark, before pulling away briefly. "Nah, fuck you."
Hands press against his throat still, claws digging into skin.
@nolongeraqualeader
a heated kiss while holding them by the throat.
Despite everything, Guzma kept showing up in Archie's room. Call it an attempt of showing off his. Who the fuck knows-- alpha-ness? Remind Archie who's the boss, when all he did was teasing and occasionally get a little too touchy with Plumeria? Fuck's sake-- existing? Who knows. What Guzma knows - both of them, really - is that it was just a matter of time before one of them pushed the other a little too much.
Today it was his turn. A tease too many, he leaned a little too close, and the former Aqua reacted accordingly. Archie's hand found his throat, his own the other's wrist and shirt as they stumbled for a few seconds in a sorry excuse of a wrestling match, one that leads to him falling on the bed and be pressed against the wall (with the hole caused by his punch), and--
--and they're kissing now.
Well, Archie is kissing him, but it doesn't take much for him to return it, groaning as the other's thumb presses against his throat, opening his lips to catch one of Archie's and biting on it to break contact.
"…fuck you."
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?"
magic: does my muse have any other magical properties / abilities?
for the merfolk…
"Oh, yeah, loads o' 'em actually." He doesn't elaborate on what, but here's a few of them: - Telekinesis - Water manipulation - Siren song (really potent and a big no no to use. Kinda an unspoken rule in the merfolk world not to use it)

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.
