Well, my dear friends - it's been a long time for some of us, hasn't it?

[...oh, god, Reaver, what the hell do you want...]

While I've made my presence known to a few of you over the last...oh, I don't know, few weeks or so...I know full well that the rest of you may have been unaware of my return - and it's about time that we remedied that, don't you think? After all, I can't deprive all of you of my presence for too long, and the time for laying low is well over.

And if I didn't know you before, then you're more than welcome to introduce yourselves - don't worry about boring me any, if that's the case then I'll gladly tell you to shut up and get on with it. So in the name of that not happening, do try to keep it interesting, will you? Make up a story about the grand dragon-slaying adventure you just embarked upon for all I care.

[He pauses for a moment once that's out there, however; clearly that's not everything he wants just now.]

Of course, it's also come to my attention that a few of you might have what's rightfully mine - and that isn't going to do, either. So do be good sports about this entire business and hand over those Pokémon you may have received, will you? I would hate to have to...collect them, as it were.

They dragged you back here too, did they?

[Really, it's almost amusing by this point. Not that he's laughing very hard.]

I'm so happy for you.

[And still so incredibly asspained about the whole thing! The fact that his stupid Deino is currently sitting by his side and whining like some sort of demonic dog isn't helping.]

[Hey, if he has to be here, at least you're suffering with him. At least you're someone he can tolerate - who else is he supposed to be in contact with, Archer? The man is drywall as hell.]

Doctor Kato - as charming as ever, I see. Enjoying an...extended vacation from reality, are you?

I try.

[Who willingly associates with Archer, though??? Besides like, Kimblee. But Kimblee's batshit, so that's understandable.

....

not that he's one to judge, but that isn't important]

Unfortunately enough, yes - I managed to return home for a few months, but apparently this godforsaken place missed my esteemed presence and dragged me back.

[Kicking and screaming bro, kicking and screaming.]

Nice to know you share my good fortune. Excited to be back in a world with actual technology?

[Don't get him started on Kimblee and the man's hideous taste in company.

In every sense of the word.

If you get his drift.]

About as excited as you are to be back among the dragons, my dear. Though I can't say I'm displeased with that - at least you're ensuring the company will be tolerable.

I'm flattered you think so highly of me.

[Reaver, we've discussed this

we don't talk about the people Kimblee spends his....time with

even in the action brackets]

Your royal friend hasn't returned with you, then?

[Let him specify which friend because if the ugly ginger troll is back he doesn't want to know]

[...Let's be honest with ourselves, Kato, you probably don't want to know about either of them - one is Barry goddamn Hatch and the other looks vaguely like Archer.

Honestly, if there's anything to be said about Johto, it's that there are a lot less unfortunate-looking people.]

He hasn't, no, though there's hardly any sense in complaining about it - really, if he's going to show up eventually then he will, and if not...well, then I'm free to do as I choose without His Majesty's supervision.

Off the leash, are you?

[He never said he was going to be pleased if King Archer was back, don't worry.]

That sounds dangerous.

[...kind of legitimately, tbh

oh well!]

The best things are, my dear.

Speaking of, I do hope you're still putting those toys of yours to good use?

Which ones do you mean? I have quite the toybox.

[Not that you'd want to play with most of the things in there.....]

Mm, I don't doubt that - but perhaps "art supplies" is a better way of wording it.

[Seriously, man, how many things have you destroyed in his absence please tell him you've actually done shit]

I've had a bit of trouble regaining all the necessary components-

[johto how dare you steal his tools aka his pokemon seriously wtf]

-but I haven't exactly been idle, no. Everything can be ready soon - I just need a target.

[Smug. Smuggity smug smug.

Smug.]

Any suggestions?

Oh, I'll leave that to you, darling, don't worry; I would just prefer it be someplace I'm not, if you're going to strike suddenly.

Of course, should you ever want assistance in your artistic endeavors, I'm also doing nothing and rather prone to boredom. Just say the word.

Hmm...well, I could always use an extra pair of hands, although I'm not going to trust you with anything too technical.

[You'd probably blow yourself up which - while highly amusing - would not be the best of outcomes.]

Provided you don't mind a bit of manual labour, of course.

Maybe, maybe not - that depends on the sort of thing we're discussing. There's a difference in, say, dragging your components about, and dealing with whatever individuals may be proving a hindrance.

As amusing as it would be to have you doing the former, I believe I could use assistance with the later.

Particularly from someone who puts a bit of flair into it.
