"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.

I was freaking out at first, but I knew that wouldn't really accomplish anything. It would probably kill me, with how dangerous this place seems to be. So, with no knowledge of a way out... I just have to do my best to adapt for now.

I haven't died yet, so I guess it's working out pretty well.

I like to think I'm not that picky. This is actually a bit of an improvement over where I was prior to this, so I can't complain much.

... Really? What was your world like?

So... you come from some bad, dystopian world?

[She's not sure which is sadder... how this guy describes the state of his world, or that he seems so cynical about it.]

... I'm sorry to hear that. You must be pretty strong, to be able to survive in a place like that.
