Where: 906

Warnings: There's a dead human in our house!
Though Archer was an intelligent man, he was bad at many things. He was bad at communicating with people. He was bad at sharing. And he was very bad at shutting his brain off. When the Full Moon turned out to be a bust, he knew he should have just gone to bed. But instead, he stayed up. He worked in his makeshift laboratory, compiling notes and re-writing them for the thousandth time. He thought about Isobel, and how he hadn't gone to speak with her though he had told himself he would. A thousand thoughts were in his mind, nipping at him, and before he knew it it was four o'clock in the morning.
Hunched over an old gel he was examining for the millionth time, he glanced over at his computer with a weary sigh. Perhaps Samuel had posted something about his condition. Archer hadn't changed, but that didn't mean that others hadn't. He sat down at the computer, opening up the forums prepared to see a bunch of nonsense as usual. Instead, he saw a frantic post from 906.
Isobel.
Though she didn't name the dead man, Archer had an idea of his identity. However, this wasn't the time to judge. After promising to be there soon, he closed the computer and jumped into action. Wearing his white lab coat, he stuffed four latex gloves into his pocket before darting out of his apartment. Though his lungs almost popped, he ran up the stairs to the ninth floor, not even stopping for breath as he reached the door to 906.
Bright red and wheezing, he knocked smartly on the door. "Isobel," he hissed, keeping his voice low to avoid waking her neighbors. "Isobel, it's Archer. Open the door."
