This is M. I'm most likely out punching someone. Don't worry, they deserve it.
Probably.
I'll call you back later.

2011 Townscourt Lane is home of Detective Jim Collins. Cops as crooked as the day's long, but shit doesn't seem to stick to him. Even the clean cops of Maurtia Falls don't like him.
211 Park Road might be a bit of a stretch, but I like to think of it as a bit of genius. You know Ronald Hemsworth? CEO mega-douche who keeps raising the prices of life saving drugs? Well he's got himself a mistress he doesn't think anyone knows about, and lets her live rent-free in a townhouse he owns through a shell company he thinks no one knows about.

We can go for both of those, they seem good targets that no one would feel too sad about. [ well, it's not the lady's fault exactly, but she IS dating a douchebag. ]
We need to make sure no one is at home during this. Perhaps follow them and check their routines, and hopefully find a time when both houses can be hit at the same time. [ it will make it harder to pin on someone specifically if the two hoses are hit at the same time ]

[Wow rude. It's actually just a series of smaller wrapped boxes inside. In the order they're in the box, he will find:
A pair of personalized socks with his pokemon team emblazoned on them
A bag of pokesnacks
A shirt that reads "Daddy Shark"
A small object that resembles a garage door opener
M takes a sip of his drink while he watches the excruciatingly slow process.]

[M will be displaying the carvings in his apartment as well as figuring out how to use those escrima sticks. If Dick Grayson can use them he can too!]
[archie remains at the same magcargo-like pace, unwrapping and opening each one, oohing and aahing as appropriate.
he puts the shirt on immediately over his current shirt, but stops when he gets to the last box. frowns a bit.]
...Alright, I can't guess what this one is. I feel like if I press it then a bunch of foam or somethin's gonna explode into my place.

[He figured that might be the case. Rather than answering his question, he leans in and presses the button. On cue, one of M's Doors appears nearby.]
For when you feel like following through on that dick graffiti threat.
[Or whenever you want to visit.]

She's even more standoffish than usual, though I think she appreciated getting an entire bed to herself.
And I'm tired.
And I'm tired.
Her and D know each other already, Blue brought her by to use the holographic projectors and let them fight it out.
They get along.
It's getting real hard to care about people when they're constantly leaving.

good. at least that's one less thing to worry about.
i feel you. i'd rather see how much concrete i can drink before i let myself get close to one more asshole here.
[the wording there was on purpose. he hopes maybe m would get a laugh out of it. probably not though.]
i have a bottle of mamont for when it inevitably happens. we can share it. you'll love the bottle, it's a pretty weird shape.

Please. You know that we're both going to immediately get attached to someone the second the porter starts bringing people in next month.
I've got food if you want to turn this into a real classy party. You've got the key.

Oh...!
[he's actually genuinely taken aback. it's clear in his expression and how he's suddenly handling the key like it's made of glass.]
I'll-- I'll have to make good on it. [he laughs a bit awkwardly, but it's clear he's feelin SOME REAL BIG EMOTIONS. archie leans over the counter and plaps his hand on m's head.] Thanks.

[Don't worry Archie, that thing can take a beating.]
No one I'd want to crash my party more than you, Arch.

I used to be.
Not a sociopath, I hope.
I just didn't recognize feelings well enough to acknowledge them.
Good times.

[he's still really taken aback. after the intense fuck up with andrew, archie was worried m was just... tolerating him. it's hard to think about actually being on good terms with someone after hurting them so badly. his had goes from m's head to his hand-- gives it a squeeze.]
Likewise. I'll have to get one for my place cut for you. I could get the bow of the key shaped like your mask!

[Had anything that happened between Archie and Andrew been malicious, they wouldn't be here like this right now. M would be lying if he said it didn't still sting, being lied to for so long, but he's also never been one to hold a grudge, either.
He prefers to look forward.
He returns the squeeze, patting Archie's hand with his free one.]
Sounds cute.
[Speaking of his place...]
If you need someone to help you move, I've been told I make a good pack-mule.
Plus, things go a lot quicker with Doors.

Yes.
I've been thinking about it a lot lately. Back when I first got here, I actually had this exact conversation with a kid named Dick Grayson who had just lost a good friend of his.
I was a lot newer then.
But I've been thinking about what I told him then, and if I still think it 2 years later.
I told him:
I think... I'd rather meet people and lose them then never meet them at all. Because while it sucks that it happened... you're still a better person from having met them.
I thought I didn't still believe it for a while.
But then I remember that I am who I am today because of people like Dick, and Bucky, and Cisco, and Lenny, and EddieEddie, and Mouse, and one of the 12 Lokis, and Piper....
And Andrew.

[it's why archie could never see m as the kind of person m sees himself as. many, many people wouldn't have given him another chance, even if what happened wasn't malicious. it's clear in his smile how deeply he appreciates and cherishes the moment they're having.]
That's one word for it... [he snorts, shakes his head. crosses his arms.] Thanks, but I'll be alright. I'm startin' new-- selling on most of the stuff in my old place and gettin' new furniture. Sometimes you just gotta let go, y'know?
