@wingbeatz (Maxie) asked: ❝ YOU !! ❞ uh oh, Maxie looks mad ( nothing new there ), and he's lunging forward to pointedly jab an extended index finger at the other man. ❝ i've emailed you twice in the last three weeks about a project with no reply. i thought, hm, maybe Archie is finally dead and i'm finally free of him. but here you are after all!! so are you ignoring me ?? ❞
"...Since when 're ya in Alola."
He's finally able to go outside for short periods of time again after his injuries. Finally able to use his legs again, and stay in human form for a bit... and then he runs into this guy.
Archie doesn't seem intimidated at all by the finger pointed at him, and instead just stares Maxie down. My guy this is the Malasada shop line.
"Can it wait? I can order in a mo'."
i feel like archie got loaned a switch and is currently addicted to like. Pokémon Crossing or something cause he ain't working with me ))
"I guess it's up to the Tapu to decide who's Kahuna. I frankly think it's bullshit."
Forcing people into roles like that? Not cool man.
"Though I doubt the Tapu care if people wanna have that responsibility t'begin with."
A shrug. "At least with bein' Champ you kinda choose that life, right? It's somethin' you aim for."
“You kidding? I already get enough grief from people about bein’ champ. I’d never hear the end of it if Bulu decided to make a funny joke and force me into a kahuna position.”
Hau’s situation isn’t theirs to gossip. They keep that shit to themself.
“Nah. I’d make a shit kahuna, anyway. Nanu’s already… like that, so.”
They’re babying their bad leg, trying to keep weight off of it. They don’t have their cane on them.
“Yeah. I went to Kanto for a tourney. I won, and then I got to meet moltress.”
@downtrain asked: “the locals say this place is haunted” ( lowkey nervous/accusatory…? may or may not see archie in the dark and be like oh my god it’s a monster… first thought was on the abandoned ship in rse but could just as easily be on the beach somewhere since u have archie in alola rn ! )
"If ya think this place is haunted, then ya haven't seen the bottom of the ocean, bud." Who is this person.
"Anyway, nah, prolly not." He's wrong. Place is haunted but he's not picking up on it vibe wise.
"..."
This ain't getting anywhere. Now he just feels even shittier and he's getting riled up. "...Well. What do you know, anyway?"
Guess he was wrong when he thought Guzma would understand. He huffs, cheekfins flared out and wiggling in annoyance. This fucking guy.
He's not liking this discussion. Like. Not one bit. Finally stopping his constant dangling, Guzma now puts his head on his open palm, resting his elbow on a leg as he avoids eye contact. If you're not talkin' to 'em, how the fuck d'ya know they're doin' fine?, he thought -- the same words he mentally yelled at himself during his own three months hiatus from the whole team leading thing.
…nah, this is different. With Skulls, he was the problem. Guzma doesn't think it out of self-deprecation, he was the only one on board with Lusamine's stuff. This was a group of lunatics who wanted to flood the world from day 1! It's different. There's no parallels here.
"Yeah well.
Ya never know."
Stay vague Guzma, stay annoyed.
"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…”
kinda wanna give archie a more spooky / monster like form for like. deep sea purposes iunno ))

"All the time, actually. Sure, I love me some swimmin', but the surface got some neat things too." Also Kyogre is in the ocean. They're not on good terms.
