Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me~

[[After being so rudely interrupted by Maxie, Archie has returned to what he was previously doing; building a boat on the beach.]]

Funny how these tools just appeared when I thought about them, eh?

[[He's talking to his pokemon; Mightyena growls in agreement, dragging driftwood over to his trainer, while Walrein chews on a log, shaping a pair of

[simplicitywins]

Um, excuse me sir. But are you building a boat?

[moarseaplz]

[[Archie looks up as he hears the voice, and he's just going to grin at you.]]

I am indeed! Do you like boats?

[simplicitywins]

Yeah! Well, i guess their alright. I'm just not really obsessed with them, really.

Why are you building it for?

{And she crepts closer to the boat examining it. Wow, he's good at this.}

[moarseaplz]

I want to go sailing. It's so beautiful around here; the sea is absolutely pristine! Besides, it gives me something to do.

[[He moves over so she can take a proper look.]] It's obviously nowhere near finished, but if you want a decent craft, you have to take the time to build it well.

[bubblegum_admin]

You shipping yourself out to see, Archie?

[moarseaplz]

[[That earns you a laugh, Marge.]]

That depends. Would you miss me?

[bubblegum_admin]

I'd be lying if I said yes.

[moarseaplz]

Well, I hate to disappoint you, but I don't intend to go sailing off into the sunset, by any means.

You should come out for a sail, sometime!

[mydadthemaster]

Oh! Good idea! Maybe we should build one too. I bet Phione would love to go swimming in the ocean...

[moarseaplz]

[[Archie gives you a once-over, before laughing.]]

Oh really? And what do you know about boat-building, kid?

[mydadthemaster]

Uh...it's gotta float?

[moarseaplz]

[[oh god he's laughing harder]]

Well, you've nailed the basic point, at least! If you're that interested, you can watch me, if you like.

[terra_et_sol]

Enjoying yourself, Archie?

[Someone should really get Terra to stop taunting any Magmas and Aquas who wander through.]

[moarseaplz]

I am, actually. Thanks for the consideration.

[[He's just going to keep working on his boat]]

[terra_et_sol]

Sometimes I think boats were the only thing we ever agreed on... And then humans started screwing them up by making them out of metal instead.

[moarseaplz]

It doesn't matter what the boat is made out of, as long as it works. Don't you think?

[ilhuicaatl]

A boat, huh?

Why sail the sea when you can swim in it?

[moarseaplz]

[[He's stunned to see this glimmering Lugia, but he takes it in his stride and just grins.]]

I'm afraid I don't quite have the energy to swim all the way around this island. A boat just makes it easier.

[ilhuicaatl]

Hm, makes sense to me. Are you exploring?

[moarseaplz]

That's the plan, yes. Who knows what sort of hidden coves and caves exist around this place? Plus, I feel more comfortable on the sea than on the land.
