glaciates | FOURTH REBELLION ❅ ACTION [LAKE OF RAGE]

[The very first thing Isaac did this morning was accidentally freeze his Surskit. He learned the hard way back home that getting a whole array tattooed on the palm of your hand was a stupid idea. He had gotten used to it though, and had worn gloves at all times. Besides, he used the gauntlet for the most part. It had worked well enough when he was constantly on the run. After taking the Surskit to the Pokémon Center, freaking out a bit, and apologizing to the Pokémon, he was finally able to reflect on just what had happened.]

[Why is he suddenly capable of freezing things again? He couldn't do it before. The tattoo was useless here. He didn't have to wear gloves, and he's just gotten used to not wearing them. The tattoo itself is pretty ragged - the ink hasn't fallen out yet, but that's just a matter of time. If he can use his alchemy again, he really should get the tattoo fixed.]

[So after herping at his hand for far longer than was really necessary, Isaac set out to test his alchemy on something. The Lake of Rage, to be specific. He's always liked water and for some reason he woke up here in Mahogany Town. That didn't bother him half as much as it probably should have.]

[If you happen to be in the area, you may notice that Isaac is doodling something near the edge of the lake. He has his Mamoswine out as well, but she isn't paying much attention to what he's doing. Isaac finally sits back on his heels and examines the drawing.]

Done. Let's see if this works.

[Isaac presses his hands to the array; blue light crackles around the array - it's a much weaker version of the one he attempted to use to freeze Central over. The lake begins to freeze slowly, gaining momentum as it spreads out across the lake. It's a weak cover - the Magikarp in the lake will be fine. Isaac smiles; he's glad he can still pull this off. Not that he has the Philosopher's Stone or any interest in freezing over an entire city, but the capability is back.]

[Needless to say, it feels good to be able to use his alchemy again.]

Why should I?

Because I'm not endearing.

[Also it's awkward! And it may or may not be getting into why can't I hold all these feels territory which... doesn't really work because it's you and not the other Kimblee and... and... orz.]

The denial is really only making you moreso, you realize.

Wh-what? No it's not...!

[ALKMERKNWKELKSMKENLWKELM]

Again, so says you.

[You are so easy.]

[orz!!!!!]

There's no arguing with you, is there?

You're learning.

[orz tho...]

Slowly.

I can't say that I mind, you know. Take as long as you need.

Yeah, well. You're too good to me.

[...Isaac is kind of the most genuine person when he's not tsuning.]

[You are getting the most dismissive little laugh for that, Isaac.]

Hardly.

[...Okay, that was kind of the cutest laugh ever, what the hell.]

Not taking the compliment, Kimblee? I'm shocked.

Oh, come now, that was more unfounded flattery than anything - although I'll certainly take it if you're going to be so insistent.

Oh come on, you know I don't give out compliments so easily.

Making me wonder what the occasion is.

...You haven't been all that hard on me about this. I would've expected worse, honestly.

About "this," Isaac?

[Clarification. It's your friend.]

[Psh, who needs that?]

This... thing with the other version of you.

What were you expecting me to do?

[...no, really. He's curious now.]

I wasn't expecting you to be so accepting. I mean it's... kind of weird.

[...Clarification, right.]

Being in a relationship with another man. Another version of you, at that.

Well, I admit the first point isn't anything I'd expected, but I'm not entirely sure why you think I'd take up an issue with it.

As for the second...well. I suspect the second is one of those things that will be perfectly fine until I see him, at which point it will just be bizarre, but I'll manage.

Because it's another version of you? And that's weird?

[Herp tho?]

Yeah, I guess so. That will be really weird-- You're okay with the idea of dating another man though?

[No okay, he tried to avoid it but. This question. It's burning. Deets, Kimblee.]

[...Isaac, what are you...]

I don't see why I wouldn't be.

[Kind of homophobic tbh.]

Really? But it's... weird.

[For lack of a better word...]

What with how strange relationships tend to be on principle, I don't see why being involved in one with a man would be so much worse.

[...oh god, you think he's a straight person, don't you.

ahahahaha that's precious.]
