video - crowdfund a pizza

[h2no]

[this is a bad idea that archie thinks is a good idea. this is a bad idea that he thinks is a good idea that was suggested to him by someone who should be smart enough to know it’s a bad idea.

the scene is unremarkable; a living room. a giant orange camel sitting by the coffee table. two giant purple bats hanging from the ceiling.

is that… an egg shell stuck to the wall?]

Yo! Network! [oh it’s archie. he’s waving a $20 bill.] Nowhere delivers to this new place of mine and me an’ Maxie [camera shift to show the red head.] are waaay too sleep deprived to be allowed outside near other people. Who wants to get some take out for us? Maxie reckons no-one has anything better to do, anyway.

[a clue as to why he thinks this is acceptable is right there.

before archie shuts off the comm, maxie pipes up:] Nothing too greasy for Arceus’ sake, we’re not barbarians.

You don't need to yell about it! We have company you nitwit!

[people on the comm don't count as company, probably]

Manabu, the house is not fire proof, or so I've been informed by some oaf.

[siriusly]

I...is that so... A, um. Well, I guess-- just. Be careful. I mean, as careful as usual, with pokemon who can use crazy powers, I guess...

[magmamia]

I will. I'm used to fires, and fire pokemon. Archie is just being dramatic and whiny.

[h2no]

YOUR RENT JUST DOUBLED!

[magmamia]

You're the one forcing ridiculous things in my room like a bed! You're a terrible landlord!

[h2no]

I'm going to put a bed in your room and then smother you on it.

[magmamia]

I don't see how this would make me want a bed. If anything it actively makes me resist the idea more, Archie.

[h2no]

But imagine a big comfy thing you can lay on! With Camerupt able to join you and have a soft surface for his knees!

[magmamia]

Then it can be Camerupt's bed! I don't need it if I have a couch to work and sleep on!

[h2no]

[he shows maxie his phone. something he's just ordered.]

You can use that until I save up enough to get what I'm actually thinking.

[magmamia]

... That is genius. What a device.

Wait, how much is that?! I can't accept that.

[kind of touched because it's perfect???]

Wait, what on earth are you thinking?

[h2no]

[YESSS MAXIE LIKES IT archie hopes rested maxie likes it too.]

It's pretty cheap actually. See, look at the wheels! You can really easily move it when you wanna get to Camerupt!

[magmamia]

Ugh, I hate it when you have good ideas like this! Damnit all. Fine. Fine you win this one round, Archie.

Oh, that reminds me I had something for you, actually. Just a moment. [and he fucks off

do do do

he's back, throwing a paper bag at archie] Here.

[inside is a fucking jigsaw puzzle. of a cool wooden ship. a jigsaw puzzle. maxie.]

[h2no]

I... I...

[he clutches it to his chest.

in a whisper:] I love it...
