Good afternoon, Colonel Archer!

It's been three months since we last discussed this sort of thing, give or take about a week; my Ralts has evolved into a Gallade with the assistance of a Dawn Stone, and it's currently at level 65. The Munna is still unevolved at level 55, and my Eevee has become an Espeon, currently at level 25. I've also obtained a Girafarig that's currently level 5; a level 70 Sigilyph and level 55 Spoink have also come into my possession due to some people leaving Johto and their Pokémon finding their way into my box somehow.

When it comes to interacting with other Pokémon, Gallade seems to prefer the company of non-Psychics; he's very fond of my Misdreavus in particular, though that may be because Gallades have a natural tendency toward protection and Misdreavus has been tasked with watching out for my brother. He's also fond of the Golett I got recently, I suspect for the same reason; he doesn't like the Litwick, though, so I know it's not just because they're Ghost-types. If anything, he seems to not be pleased that I'm spending time around that last one.

Munna shows no signs of wanting to socialize with the others.

Espeon tends to poke around in the others' heads quite a bit; she's very curious about how they work. That said, she doesn't like socializing directly, and she tends to do so from a distance, often remaining either under the bed or next to me while the others do things together. She just likes observing more than actually interacting, I think, though sometimes she'll say something to them - she tends to get their attention and have them come over for private conversations. (At least, I think that's what's going on.)

I haven't worked with the other three long enough to notice any sort of patterns.

When it comes to interacting with humans, Gallade is very obedient toward me, though he doesn't like dealing with others unless he's ordered to. I've asked him to tell me what people are thinking and he refuses. I'm not sure whether this is because he won't read their minds in the first place, or because he doesn't want to spread whatever information it is that he's found out, but he doesn't tell me much about other people. It doesn't matter how close I am to the person in question, either; I tried asking him things about my brother and he wouldn't tell me anything.

Munna doesn't seem too close to other people; she does like my brother but she prefers to stay close to me. She worries about us a lot in general; she's strange, though, because she won't tell me what others are thinking, but she'll share their dreams with me if I ask her to. She mostly eats nightmares, from what I've seen, and I've seen what a lot of my classmates dream about that way; she'll only show me if I ask, though, not by herself.

Espeon will answer anything I ask about what people are thinking; she's very blunt and seems to have no issues with reading people's minds or trying to get information that they wouldn't want me to have. She's not very good at it yet, but she seems interested in working on it further; it kind of bothers me a little because she has no qualms about it at all. I haven't seen her take orders from anyone else, though she's expressed that she would if I asked her.

Again, I haven't worked with the others long enough to know about them yet.

I hope this is sufficient; I'm sorry for taking so long to get back to you, and I hope you've been well.

You said you were military, right?

Please tell me you've gotten ahold of some actual weapons around here.

Colonel Archer -

I'm sorry to bother you so late, but I need to discuss something with you immediately, if that isn't a problem.

[He can't sleep.

Usually being unable to sleep is a moot point - years in solitary confinement have completely destroyed his natural ability to function on any sort of reasonable internal clock, and in its stead imparted the...mildly disturbing ability to go to sleep on command. Sometimes it takes a while to get there, but he generally always does; for some reason, tonight is proving an exception, and it's frustrating him, and before he's really thought much about what he's doing he's managed to pry Archer off of him and turn one of the dimmer side lights on across the room, and he's found the pocket-cat (curled up under the folds of his coat, because the cat has managed to pull it off the back of the chair and into a pile on the floor) and he's got the horribly stupid thing plunked on the table in front of him and he's just...staring at it like it's going to mind-meld with him and actually say something worthwhile. Or maybe it'll hit him in the brain again and this time it'll put him to sleep, who knows.]

Ah, I think this is the right number...if it's not, I apologize, but I'm looking for Monsieur Frank Archer? I spoke to you some time ago in Goldenrod City, though I don't know if you recall...

[We met over the ugly sweater rack, it was great.]

I was wondering if I could speak to you again - we had a rather enlightening discussion last time, and I was hoping you might be willing to humor me again.

[Shockingly, for once Greed doesn't call Archer at ass o'clock in the morning, but that could be because he's living with other people now and is learning a few things about consideration.

It's in the afternoon when he calls, and surprisingly he doesn't sound urgent or annoyed or like he's trying to troll Archer. He sounds serious, but in a business sort of way.]

You there? We need to talk.

I'd like to meet with you, if you don't mind.

How's lunch sound?

[Well, Kimblee's been perfectly content to be distant for the last several days; however, he's fully aware that he can't -

...okay, well, he probably could do it forever if he damn well pleased and he knows it, but the fact remains that he doesn't particularly want to. There's a difference, and he's not sure if he likes it, but that's clearly just how things are going to be today.]

I don't suppose you have a moment.

THIS IS WHY WE DON'T ASK ISHIMARU FOR REPORTS EVER
