You're free to think whatever you want of me, but you know how I feel now.

[so does archie! snap.]

I woke up and tried to control a leviathan that was said to be the personification of the sea itself. I wanted to use it to raise the sea levels back to what they once were so nature could reclaim the planet, because I hated seeing how Pokémon were suffering thanks to humanity's callousness. I still feel that way but... not so much world-endy. What I did was unforgivable; I let my anger get the better of me and paid the price for my arrogance.

[he sighs.]

One of the rooms had Kyogre in it. Just seeing it brought back everything I felt after I awoke it, watching the thunderous rainstorm and the beginning of the deluge I thought would save the world actually started to end it. When I was standing in the middle of the storm and realised everything was going to die because of me... that was how I felt when I saw it again in the room, even though the situation was completely different and removed. I was with Maxie, who in my timeline tried to stop me doing what I was doing. In that room, Kyogre killed him. It was floating in the middle and after judging us, lurched forward and ate him.

[archie lets out a shuddering breath, clearly hating even talking about it.]

Then it happened again, only with Maxie's nightmare. The timeline he's from is one where he woke up Kyogre's opposite, Groudon. A behemoth of land. I couldn't tell you the inctricate details of his plan, but I think he wanted to expand landmass so there was more space for people in housing crisis. For him, I was the one that tried to stop him. Y'see all the weird timeline shit going on there? We had no idea about this until he arrived. Anyway, Groudon did the same as Kyogre only it was kind enough to shake it up a bit and hit me with one of its earth bending moves. I got impaled on a spike of rock and-- well, I guess I died pretty quickly because I don't remember anything after that.

[ Odin holds it together until the end, keeping quiet and saying nothing, but the second Archie says how he died against Groudon he lets out a pretty fucking pathetic whine. He can't handle the imagery in his head and has to hold the phone away from his ear and cover his eyes with his hand for a second to block shit out and get himself together. eventually, he's back. ]

I have a lot of thoughts, but they don't matter right now, I think. Can we just--

Can we spend time together? In person? It's been really weird, and I get that most of it is either my fault or just both of us being rattled by what happened, but I don't like this. I miss being, like. Comfortable with you. If you don't want to, though, that's okay, just - before I go to space, or something.

[h2no]

It's fine. I miss you too. I'll come to yours.

[truth be told, he was already on his way. get friendshipped on fool.]
