I guess that just leaves us word of mouth? Y'know, like, "hey what's up you seem cool and full of regrets so how about you come chill with us at this bar sometime?"
Sounds like a place to start. Lemme see -- I talked to Tricks and Archie about it, you and me makes four, who else do we know?
Would... Crane be interested? [ He says that really hesitantly, like he's not sure if Crane WOULD be interested but should bring it up anyway. ]

No. Kind of. Yes he would, no he won't admit it. I'll get him there.
I mentioned it to Diablo. He didn't seem I to it, but he doesn't seem into anything. And I think I know someone else who could use it, but I don't think... He's not there yet. Soon.
Anyway, probably better to start small.

[ Mick volunteers at a few hospitals and medical clinics who may call him in in case of a bad burn emergency so he never puts his phone on Do Not Disturb, which means that his phone's vibrating right by his head wakes him up. But he never wants to turn down a friend in need either. ]
Archie? It's 4am, what's wrong?
[ He's very confused and more than a bit half-asleep. ]

Conditioner only.
[he sighs, knowing that calling anyone at 4am is bad.]
Sorry, bro, you're the only one I know who... yeah. Can I ask how you gave it up? I used to steal stuff when I thought I had a good reason for it, but now I don't, and I still want to...

[ This is some heavy shit at four am, but the weird part is he can't quite imagine this conversation at any other time either. ]
It's hard, Arch. Ain't gonna lie to you, I gave up years ago and I still get tempted. Feels easier. Feels fun. Can't lie, I've fallen off the wagon before.
[ He pauses with a sigh. ]
First time I decided to give it up was in prison. Not the only time I was in the slammer neither, but something about that stint... got tired. When I got out, I had support. A... friend. He didn't believe me at first. Nobody did. Spite got me through the first few months. Then my friend helped. Then it was keeping busy.

No, you're not. I think about giving up almost every day.
[ Mick pauses a moment. ]
Y'know how I said "first time I gave it up"? That's cause I fell off the wagon. Not in a little way, either. I fucked up bad. But... even if you do you gotta keep trying. Even if you fail, you can always get back on.

[ Mick pauses. He's still not 100% awake but he's a bit more than he was now.
Honestly he's... not sure how to respond to this. This is much, much bigger than he'd imagined it'd be. On the other hand, Mick... Mick had fucked up so badly he could almost say "Same." Almost. ]
What happened?

[fortunately archie is cognizant enough to realise that his problems aren't the only ones. he's very self-absorbed - some sort of leftover from his egomania as the team aqua leader - but he would never think he has it worse than anyone else. especially not mick.
not consciously, anyway.]
Woke up a god, tried to control it. Couldn't. It almost flooded the planet.
