video - whale whale whale

[archie decided, for this video, that he'll frame it in something that's relatively calming-- for himself, mostly, it's a stressful topic, but he's intensely curious as to the thoughts of other imports. he's sitting at the end of a jetty, his wailmer floating along next to the wood. he has a hand on her as he speaks into the camera, idly rubbing her blubbery skin.]

Yo. So, ah, I guess this ain't really gonna do anything other than confuse me more, but... I gotta know! With the imPorts from my own world, I've come to find out about several branchin' timelines within my own universe. Like... the ones here, but-- it's mostly just one major event that's different, so I was just wonderin'--

[he's cut off suddenly. wailmer groans and he stops, looking to her with clear concern in his face. he looks about to reach out and cut out the video to try again later, but he's interrupted. wailmer has started glowing, in the glow of evolution that only a few people present would even recognise.]

Shit! Wailmer, go out further! You'll take out the jetty! [she whines a little panicky as she continues glowing and archie immediately dives into the water to help her away, then...

she starts growing. massively, exponentially. archie disappears off camera, seeing as he'd balanced it on part of the jetty and wailmer's size has suddenly gone way past the camera resolution. the glow stops after a few seconds and there's just... blue. blue that's moving until a big eye focuses on the camera and what can be seen of a big goofy grin from the giant pokémon.]


WAIIIILOOOORRRRRD!! [she cries out, clearly quite overjoyed at her new form, raising her head slightly and crashing it down in the water enough to create a huge wave that covers the comm camera in water. there's the sound of a thud and a grunt as archie clambers off her dome and back onto the jetty, which evidently survived it.]

Well... that didn't go how I expected. [he says, wiping the water off.] Hold that thought, aye? Guess I'll be out in the ocean with Wailord for a couple days...

brb laughing his head off.]

So this is what she meant when she said she was "evolving" soon. I'm glad I was fortunate enough to see it.

[The first part of that had some relevant information, because Guzma knows a bit about the whole alternate dimension thing, what with Ultra Space and the Ultra Beasts, but all of that gets sidetracked by this shitshow of an evolution.

Good job, idiot!]


...That's one way to flex your Pokémon evolving, dude.

[Because this was obviously staged. Kudos for believability.]

Good to know if I ever gotta kill you, this is how you'd want it to go, yo.

[He quirks an eyebrow, smirking.]

Yeah? You so bad a trainer you ain't aware when your Pokémon's ready to evolve?

Still damn funny.
crypdick: (a thousand choices)

i mean he's also kinda pretentious so

Do you habitually take your whale friend into your house?

[ Actually... ]

I would have liked to see that.

[ So. Yes. ]

Is that what this is? Friendship?

[His tone is playful. He knows they're practically friends. At least, as friendly as two assholes from the same universe can be in this shithole after knowing each other for a couple weeks.]

...Oh. I was just messin', but aiight. Least ya gonna do that, though. Try not to get baked in the sun, man, you're weird enough without havin' a sun stroke, yo.

[That gets a laugh.]

Oh yeah? Think that ain't applicable if I ain't at least gettin' laid, first.

[Thanks, Archie.]

So, you can heal like a Chansey, and swim like a wishiwashi, huh?

[Yeah, he could have given him a more dignified Pokémon to compare him to, but nah. Wishiwashi fits in his mind.]

Something about branching off from different events at our places of origin? Alternate realities, timey-wimey stuff, that kind of thing?

[Hey, it's all in good fun. Good fun, and making asses outta themselves. Publically.]

Hell yeah, man. [But Guzma's fine with letting that drop, it's not like he was taking any of that seriously, anyway. Just like he ignored Archie's comment on him worrying. Psh, as if he was worrying about anything other than Archie turning into more of a moron to deal with!]

Your grandparents? You Alolan or somethin'?

[A beat, and then smugly:]

...is that your Pokésona or something?

Re: video;

[personal profile] andromedas 2019-06-18 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh, that's interesting but not super impossible to imagine, I guess.

But what about if we go back, will we be ported off to one of the other divergy timelines? If things ended badly in one version, maybe we'll be sent to a timeline with a happy ending?

Or vice versa.
