"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.

Lucky you. [He doesn't exactly have a home to go back to. One person, sure, but he's also sure she can survive without him for the time being.]

Beats me if they're lying but I couldn't care either way.

It happens. What do you expect? Though a guy who wants to break down the wall must have some kind of cause.

I'm going to make an assumption here. Feel free to tell me I'm wrong. But the reason you were trying to play demolition man was because there's something you can't just leave behind. If you could pause for a bit, you'd probably ask other people about what they know first. Because you can't wait, we got the earlier result.

If I'm wrong, oh well. No one cares about the loss of a little oxygen. I'm Captain Axel Almer. Just call me Axel unless you're the type for formalities.

[That was obviously a code name, like the other similar ones he had spoken to. But then again, Axel was very obsessive about calling people by their code name so it wasn't a big deal.]

Right, it's a pleasure. I suppose I should leave you to your wall bashing antics.
