[So Kimbley is...not exactly bored, because there's a whole different world to check out and it's populated by people that are Weird on the same level that Greed and the chimeras and Tucker were Weird - which is to say that they're a great kind of weird and Kimbley is actually getting on well enough with them, and it's been keeping him occupied for the time being. But as with pretty much all worlds, weird or not, there's going to come a point where Kimbley starts getting restless, and honestly the lack of alchemy isn't really helping, and about the only thing he's got is this absolute brick of a phone to keep him occupied.
So that is why Archer is getting a message instead of Kimbley just going to find him in person, because why the hell would Kimbley do that when he can do this instead.]
Hey, Archer. We need to talk.
[...okay so people here have taught him the joy of sliding into people's DMs but have not in fact taught him that that is the single most dire thing you can text at a person. Sue him.]
you are valid and i'm so sorry it took so long to get back to you
[Figuring out the phone hasn't been particularly difficult, but if there is one thing that is consistent across all worlds and timeframes, it's the phrase "we need to talk" will always instill fear in people. What did he do. He's pretty sure he didn't do anything, but this makes him think he did something.]
Of course, Kimbley. Whenever you'd like.
[He's assuming it'll be in person rather than over the phone, but honestly, you never know with Kimbley.]
[Thankfully the abject terror doesn't translate too well to text, otherwise Kimbley might have to rethink exactly what he's doing right now and clearly we can't have that. Anyway, that's kind of a weird response, but Archer is kind of a weird person so that's. Fine, probably?]
I mean, it's not life or death or anything, but it'll probably make our lives easier if we do that once in a while, just saying.
yeah but what if I don't want to wait until it's pretty
