[A kitchen accident, of all things... Adrian is a talented chef, and no one who knew him would probably ever have thought he'd die thanks to his kitchen. But the world works in strange ways.
There had been some kind of defect with the stove. He'd been cooking, and had heard it making strange noises and gone to investigate. He hadn't expected it to blow up, or... He doesn't really remember exactly what happened, except that there was a lot of fire and some flying debris. Anyway, he'd woken up in the hospital with extensive burns and various injuries.
He didn't really understand what the doctors told him, he's never been too good with technical stuff. All he really knows is that there's some heavy internal damage and nothing that can be done. They told him he won't last a week. Thanks to his burns, he gets to spend his last days in a hospital bed.]
...Pretty damn sure this was meant to be, thanks RNG.aquabossJune 24 2011, 15:39:15 UTC
[It's been awhile since he's seen Adrian. Guess what he found when he started looking? Adrian's in the hospital, probably dying.]
[...At least it wasn't drowning this time.]
[Still, it's not a good thing to find out at all. Would it kill you guys to tell him about this sort of shit every once in awhile?]
[Anyway, he didn't particularly care to listen to whatever the nurses had to say - it was mostly complaints about how Adrian couldn't be visited by just anyone or something - and so Archie just barged straight into the room, like how he always does.]
Adrian! [Yep, just shutting the door to keep the nurses out.] When the hell were you plannin' on tellin' me you'd injured yourself!?
They're familenemies? Enemily?4thegoodofnoneJune 24 2011, 16:54:58 UTC
[He feels horrible. How would you like being told you had less than a week to live?]
You're m'enemy.
[There isn't much feeling behind the words. Adrian knows he's unlucky, but this... This is beyond him. He survived a rockslide, but not a cooking accident?]
YOU ARE A TERRIBLE PERSON, nah, I'm just kidding YOU'RE AMAZINGaquabossJune 25 2011, 04:34:17 UTC
[That's true. This kind of fail is only possible in Hoenn. ...Are you even Hoenn-born, Adrian? Because really, only Hoennites could fail like this. It's rather shocking Archie's lived this long to be quite honest.]
I'm sorry. [Archie looks incredibly awkward now, as if he totally planned to come in here and yell at you and somehow or other make everything better. That was the extent of his plans, actually.] Is there anythin' I can do to help? [Well obviously he can't cure you, but maybe there's something else...?]

[No, he's Johtoan. And he hasn't really survived this long, sort of.]
... Could... [He hesitates, but... He can sort of trust you, right? You're sort of his friend... Sort of.] Could y'tell m'family'm sorry? M'not gonna be out'v here t'tell'm m'self...
[...Your family... Archie doesn't have the heart to tell you the truth about that. It would be better for you not to know, right?]
Yeah. Yeah, I'll make sure they know. [He doesn't let the awkward silence stretch for as long this time, instead reaching over to clap Adrian on the shoulder. It's nowhere near as hard as he normally would, and he's careful to avoid any burns.]
You've had a pretty damn good run, Adrian. I'm... glad I got to meet you, kid. Can't say I'm all that happy with you ruinin' my plans, but... [He trails off with a shrug.]

[It really would be better to not tell him.]
... Why're y'here, 'nyway? [He still doesn't get why you really care about him. He's your enemy.] M'not... M'not even from Hoenn, n'stoppin' y'wasn't'n th'job description...
I CAN'T EVER HOPE TO TOP THAT D: aquabossJune 26 2011, 23:08:07 UTC
Doesn't matter where you're from, Adrian. [C'mon, you should know that. Besides, the Hoenn has clearly rubbed off on you.] An' yeah, 'course it wasn't. Didn't exactly think I'd be stuck playin' villain for you anyway...
[Moving on quickly...] I'm here 'cause I do care about you, Adrian. You're... [Hmm. How the hell does he word this without sounding creepy?] ...An' interestin' kid. I'm... gonna miss battlin' you. [Yep, he's totally being the most awkward thing ever over here, sorry Adrian.]

... Archie.
[He ignores the question altogether. After all, you asked when, not if.]

So you weren't plannin' on tellin' me, huh? Why the hell not?
[Aren't we kind-of-sort-of-friends?]

...What happened?

[A bad one. Not many kitchen accidents are so bad that they cover a person in burns and kill them in under a week.]

[...Though that would explain the burns... He's seen what shippy!Red can do with an oven...]
That's... A kitchen accident? Really?

Th'stove blew up. Some kind'v defect... [And now he's going to die. He sounds pretty miserable.]
