"I saved you"
Characters: Archer and anyone who wants to greet him--so OPEN.
Setting: Tonight, room 3-16 and the hallway outside it.
Format: Starting with prose, but feel free go to action brackets if you'd rather!
Summary: Someone new shows up in the Tower and has some unusual reactions.
Warnings: Probable violence and likely angst.
There's a strange sound echoing out of room 3-16 tonight. What makes it even stranger is that the voice behind it is someone new. Here's what makes it so strange: it's laughter. There's a new person in the Tower, and he is laughing.
The laughter goes on for almost a minute, at times bubbling near to hysteria. Finally, though, it cuts off, and a much smaller sound can be heard: the *CRUMP* of paper being balled up and flung away. And Archer stalks out of the room.
(He just read the letter, you see. It said, I saved you. That's why he was laughing.)
He stands in the middle of the hallway with a disinterested look for a minute; apparently all the mirth has been drained out of him. Then he shrugs and throws his hands up in front of him. "It isn't very much of a new home. Well, why don't I test it out?" And without him appearing to draw them from anywhere, twin swords, black and white, flash into his hands.
He swings them at the wall, hard. And the blades shatter, and the shards vanish into thin air.
The man in the red coat is left blinking down at his hands, then at the wall he struck. He doesn't look too surprised, though--and what little surprise he does have on his face is rapidly fading to resignation.

Hmmm. Make the wall my friend?
...I wanted to see if I could damage it. I couldn't. In this setting, it's not really a surprise. But it's good to know.
no subject
But good to know, sure. It's better to know that you might as well save your energy for the other things that are around here. Don't ask me for any specifics because I just showed up here too, if you're a new guy like I think you are. Just stories here and there.
no subject
[Well, he hasn't pulled out any more swords, at least. That's a good start--maybe.]
Monsters, right? I have plenty of energy for those, so I won't worry about it just yet.
...I'm more worried about whether I can get back. I had some business to finish back home. If it's destroyed, there's no point, but if they're lying to us, it might be a problem.
[His tone is light, which might give the impression that he doubts the story of the worlds being destroyed. If only that were the case.]
no subject
Beats me if they're lying but I couldn't care either way.

Maybe you're right. I had some pretty important things to do, to be honest.

Important things to do aside--I'm Archer.
no subject
Right, it's a pleasure. I suppose I should leave you to your wall bashing antics.
no subject
I'm sure not making you stay.
