[Most mornings in the rocky areas around Umbra Cave are fairly peaceful; there's not much in the area that would be naturally inclined to cause many disturbances, you see. However, there would be no particular need to mention this morning if it were exactly like most mornings, now, would there

[He was taking a break when he first felt the tremors, but even then he didn't bother to investigate. It's been awhile now, and finally he's decided that whoever is spamming Earthquake should probably knock it off. That battle with Maxie has left him with some serious knee and ankle pain ( ... )

When he does speak, his voice is blunt, unusually cold.]
I don't believe anyone asked you.

No, but if you really think I'm just gonna leave you up here 'til you kill yourself, then you're clearly mistaken. [He folds his arms, not making any move to come forward, but evaluating Maxie at a distance.] Why'd you remove the bandage anyway? You were tryin' to keep me from seein' that eye in the first place, right? So what, you just don't care who sees it now?

I'm not about to kill myself, Archie - I've more important things to do with my time than waste it like that, especially as I don't know exactly where one spends those few weeks.

[Well, yes, actually. Because that's how Archie rolls.]
Well you're sure as hell not doin' yourself any favors! [And then Maxie says something that doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Granted, this is the crazy version of Maxie and he's said some things that don't make sense before...] "Where one spends those few weeks"? What the hell are you talkin' about?

But this guy is here? On the island? Does he even remember being killed?
[Suddenly, this is the most fascinating thing in the world. Archie will even let you get away with that ridiculous analogy because death is not permanent here, what is this.]

I wouldn't know; I make it a point to avoid him. My source on this is reliable, however.

Huh. [Archie can't see any reason behind Maxie lying to him, so he'll assume it's the truth. A bizarre truth, but this island is a weird place.] Well that is interestin'.
[Oh wait, wasn't he talking about how you're going to kill yourself? Right, right.] Still, you look pretty bad, Maxie. If you really don't want to die, you'll at least rest a bit first. Otherwise keep doin' your thing, I'm sure Camerupt will appreciate when you keel over dead.
