Warnings: It's Archie, Kayla, and a dead body. This is a very creepy log.
Archie was in the middle of going through a dead man’s things. There was a very generous mobster in town who seemed to have a need for the doctor’s services at least once every couple of months who dropped off a poor fellow without a face or fingertips. Archie had mused with the idea of making the faceless man a blind waiter or perhaps a comical assistant, but he wasn’t in the mood for novelties. He was going to take the suit, however. It was a classic black and red pinstripe that would look excellent with the help of a proper tailor.
Holding up the jacket to examine the cut, a pack of Chinese cigarettes fell out of the inner pocket. Archie swooped down to pick them up and popped open the top. Half a pack left. Archie looked around like he was stealing and then stuck one between his lips, leaned over one of his Bunsen burners and lit that sucker up. He puffed it indulgently and then glanced down at his watch. The mysterious benefactor was to be there in just seconds, so he grabbed his overcoat and headed outside of his underground laboratory.
This cold was just ridiculous and obviously the work of another Creation. Stupid, pointless, bothersome. He wondered silently if that’s how other mischievous Creations thought of him.
