[glaciates]

Well yeah, but it's not like I tried to take down Amestris in a day!

[That would just be silly!!]

...Thanks. I'm really glad to be back. ...Even though it doesn't feel like any time has passed...

[orz]

[explosivecombat]

Oh, believe me, I know; I wasn't appreciative of falling asleep one night and waking up six weeks later when it happened to me, so I can just imagine what it's like in your case.

[glaciates]

Yeah, I've been trying to figure out what all I've missed...

But uh, how have you been?

[explosivecombat]

I can't complain, really.

Forgive me for not returning the question, but it's likely a bit of a moot point.

[glaciates]

[Ouch...]

Yeah.

[...]

So did anyone else come back? Like Mustang or Armstrong or Hughes?

[OH LOOK A WILD TOPIC CHANGE APPEARED]

[explosivecombat]

They haven't, no - whether you consider that fortunate or unfortunate is a matter of personal opinion, but the fact of the matter is that no one from Amestris has returned.

[...well. That's technically true, anyway. Greed's shown up, but we don't discuss the Homunculi.]

[glaciates]

[It's sort of a shame; he didn't really hate any of them. Hopefully things are going well for them back home.]

I'm guessing no one new has shown up?

[explosivecombat]

[Things are presumably going rather well for everyone that isn't Hughes, yes...]

No one that we know, at any rate.

[glaciates]

[WOW DID YOU JUST]

Huh.

[...]

So uh, you said you were returned home at some point? Did you get any of your Pokémon back?

[explosivecombat]

[...too soon?]

Ah, that's right - I verified for you during one of those three-day periods but you likely don't remember. I have Carmen and Bellatrix with me, if that's what you were leading up to.

[glaciates]

Three-day periods? Wait, you mean I was here for those? Why don't I remember that?

[He figures Kimblee doesn't have an answer for that, so he shrugs it off.]

That... wasn't what I was getting at, actually, but I'm glad to know they're with you. Have you gotten all the badges? What kinds of Pokémon are you training now?

[...Look, he's missed a lot okay!!]

[explosivecombat]

[...Oh, goddamn it, you had to ask about the Pokémon...]

I still rather like my ground-types and things that are capable of making some rather lovely sounds if ordered to do so, but I've raised some other things as well this time around. I haven't raised too many new things recently, however.

I don't have all of the badges again, either, but I have the ones I require.

[Surprisingly enough. But then, he's been hit rather hard by disappearances over the last few months for some reason he can't quite work out, and instead of catching everything in sight he's focused himself on more...productive means of work.]

[glaciates]

[Yeah, if you call working in a florist's "productive"...]

Oh yeah? Then what have you been doing? Just training?

[And not assisting Team Rocket hopefully?]

[explosivecombat]

[He can send declarations of war via flowers now, Isaac.]

Training and work, primarily.

Don't worry, I haven't been gambling too much.

[glaciates]

[Literally no one is going to get that. No one.]

Well that's good...

[He feels like he's missing something here. Was that supposed to be a joke??]

I'm glad you're doing okay. And uh, that you're still here. Obviously.

[explosivecombat]

[...you know, one of these days Kimblee is going to look back on this point in his life and wonder exactly when he got so sarcastic.

And then he'll probably claim it was Archer's fault.]

Of course I'm all right, Isaac. Why wouldn't I be?

[glaciates]

[Well hanging around him isn't exactly doing wonders for you...]

Ah, I'm not trying to say you wouldn't be! It's just good to know that everything's okay, if that makes sense?

[explosivecombat]

[Are you still worked up about that...?]

Relax, Isaac, I know what you meant.

[glaciates]

[He's literally the most annoying person ever so........]

Good. I'm glad.

...So uh, are you still living in Mahogany?

[explosivecombat]

Technically speaking.

Ah, but you're in Goldenrod again, aren't you.

[It's not exactly a question.]

[glaciates]

...Unfortunately.

[He feels like he should say something about that, but he can't come up with anything to say.]

I can't wait to get out of here.

[explosivecombat]

[That just seems to amuse him a bit, really.]

Tell me what room you're in.

[glaciates]

Um... 102, I think. Why?

[explosivecombat]

Because I can meet you there, if you'd like.

[glaciates]

Ah, really? That would be great!
