[ the feed flickers on to the image of a young girl, sporting her trademark red bandanna. unlike may's usual chipper attitude, her expression at the moment looks a bit uncertain and serious. ]

So... I have a question for you guys. You know Archie, right? The big buff Pokémon Trainer that wears wetsuits a lot? Talks like a pirate?

[ she'll even hold up a drawing to the feed for a visual - it's a bit of a simple, cartoonish sketch (she's 12, cut her some slack), but the blue bandanna, cross-shaped face shadow and shapely beard should be enough to give the right idea to who she's describing. ]

I kind of wanted to know if he's been... "up to" stuff here - like, crime stuff. I don't think you should be worried - I mean, he's a good guy! He just has a really extreme way of going at things, you know? And sometimes those extremes end up being super illegal.

[ she wants to trust his word that he's reformed, but there's a lingering worry in the back of her mind. some of the people here must have been talking to him since before she showed up, and she wants their honest observations to put her . ]

I just wanna know if he's behaving himself like he promised me back home. You guys HAVE to tell me, okay? I think I'm kind of responsible for him at this point. [ she reaches to click the feed off, but before she does- ] And don't tell him I asked!

[ yes, she's basically his tiny parole officer. please report any and all suspicious activity. ]

No, Archie's a good guy. He told me he stole a sub, once, but other than that, he's literally just been petting weird animals and shit. He let me crash on his couch a few times, and helped take care of my cactus.

[ archie is probably the only person she trusts here, so. she feels pretty strongly about this. ]

[ WHAT Archie, you never told him you had a... fangirl? Daughter? Daughter figure? What is going on here, Mick doesn't know. ]

He's been doing great. You'd be proud of him.

Uhhhhhhhh... he hasn't... done anything illegal as far as I know... he's really nice...

He won't let me drink his booze, he kept me from dying and he's offered to buy me a therapist. Other than a criminal misuse of money, time and effort, he's fine.

He's made a few questionable life choices, but none of them illegal.

[M's wearing a replica of Archie's bandanna and his anchor necklace that he got from fanport. Mainly because he's a jerk, and just a little bit because there's very few instances where wearing them is appropriate.]

He wished for a little animal frog-skipper thing.

I don't even think that counts as bad.

He has been very kind to me thus far. I think it is unfair of you to judge him on his past actions; he has helped me a great deal in adjusting to the rules of this world and in finding food to eat, he is a good paternal figure for several of the younger residents, and he yet to commit a crime of even the smallest magnitude.

People can change, young Gospozha, but only if you give them the benefit of the doubt and the room to do so. Don't judge a man so harshly for who he was. He has been a good friend to many, here.

As far as I know, Archie's a stand-up guy. What kind of 'super illegal' stuff are we talking about here?

I've known Archie since he arrived here. Since he's been here, it's clear to see that he's really trying his hardest to make up for past actions. [She isn't letting her bias show. She's seen people making up for their past before to know what he's doing.]

He's a sweetheart really.

You know, it's a little suspicious to give any type of info to a kid that says we HAVE to tell them anything, or not to tell the person in question about this particular post to boot. It makes you look a little suspicious.

[Not to mention the way she is asking for any wrongdoings he may or may not have done. She can't help have her guard a little high considering the younger girl was talking about someone she considered a friend.]

Give me one good reason I shouldn't tell him about this?

[darted]

So far he's been more of a nuisance that'll lock you into a conversation about sharks than a criminal.

[ She's actually wryly amused at the moment. ]

I met him at the beach and he doesn't seem capable of misbehaving.

Well! That's very nosy of you, isn't it? Archie is a dear boy!
