Holy shit. That explains a lot.

[ He says immediately before his internal filter can catch up with him. ]

Sorry. She was asking about you, y'know. I think she wants you to be okay.

But -- Arch, these things... it ain't easy knowing you almost screwed up the whole world 'cause of something you did. I'm not gonna tell you to forgive yourself, but I am gonna tell you that you can be better. You can stop causing more harm and start doing more good.

[h2no]

I dunno. I keep upsetting all my friends by fucking up one way or another. I lost a really good one back home-- guy called Maxie. You'd like him, actually. He has a Pokémon with two volcanoes on its back. Sleepy bugger, pretty cute.

--Anyway. Um, yeah, she wanted to help...

[pyrogue]

Heh. You got me pinged pretty good. [ You can hear the smile in his voice.

It fades a bit. ] They always do. Sometimes... sometimes the people who gotta stop you are the people who saved you.

[ ...That gives him a terrible thought. ]

Hey, Arch, did -- you're not... I mean, are you okay? In your world?

[h2no]

No. I got out of it.

[he frowns, even if mick can't see it.]

I think I'll end up arrested, but I wasn't doing much when I came here. I was trying to apologise to Matt.

[pyrogue]

If you survived, you can still make up for it one day if you ever go home. Probably doesn't feel like the kinda thing you can make up for, but you didn't destroy the world and you're gonna live to make up for it.

The people that matter'll forgive you. So you gotta try to be the kinda person that'll deserve that.

[h2no]

She won't. She said she won't but... she stayed with me. So did Matt. I guess I never really looked at it that way.

soulsoup

[pyrogue]

[ oh my god, this is the greatest thing to ever happen to him ]

I'm your soulsoupmate?

[catchacold]

[Well. That makes more sense than soulsoup. Kind of.

He's very drunk, all right?]

i like soup

and bread

[pyrogue]

That make me Chicken Soup for the Leonard Snart Soul?

[pyrogue]

They will. And you can become the kinda person they can count on, I know it.

[catchacold]

YES!

you get me, man, you get me so much

we got a deep thing

something

[pyrogue]

So

How drunk are you?

[catchacold]

you are the drunk one!!!

[pyrogue]

Sure, snowflake.

You better have someone who can give you a lift home. Or a taxi.

[catchacold]

I can get a taxi, I got a wallet

...six wallets?

maybe seeing double

[h2no]

[he's quiet for a long time. long enough that the sun rises and mick could even probably assume he's just passed out.

he does reply eventually, though, it doesn't sound confident.]

Thanks.

[pyrogue]

[ Mick starts a bit -- in the pause he'd almost fallen back asleep himself. ]

Yeah, yeah. No problem.

text, an hour which would be too late to text someone you hadn't committed crimes with

[airshow]

Miiiiiiiiiiick
Mick
Mickey
Hot Potato
You up?

[pyrogue]

i am now

[ What is it with people contacting him at ridic o'clock recently? ]

Hot potato?

[airshow]

Look, it can be hard to come up with heat-related nicknames that don't sound a little too friendly
But I'm secure enough in our relationship for that

[pyrogue]

Right, okay, got it, moving on, what's so important to text me about that it couldn't wait till morning?

[airshow]

Did you know Piper went on a date?

[pyrogue]

No? Why, did it go south?

[ IS PIPER IN TROUBLE?

Mick is very awake suddenly. ]

[airshow]

What? I have no idea.
It's not like I was stalking him or anything
