## Plot

* **January 1963**
* **February 1965**
	+ The Architect saw Reagan feeding and gave a statement to the institute in form of a complaint under the name Max Mustermann
* **September 1965**
	+ The Architect was approached during a break by Cassidy as a follow-up to his statement, still under the name Max Mustermann he explained the situation in further detail, Cassidy then explained Smirke's list to him, and then accidentally marked him with the Corruption when things got heated.
	+ The Architect filed a second complaint to the institute, this time about Cassidy and under the name John Churchill, he met Georges who took his statement. The interaction ended by Reagan popping into the room and the Architect recognizing her, he gave chase but ended up losing her.
	+ The Architect followed up on his complaint a couple days later to make sure it was properly in order, with the name Erik Smith, he spoke with Marcia, and though Louie was in the room as well he didn't do much in this specific event. When speaking with Marcia the Architect was compelled for the first time.
	+ The Architect met Reagan in Lister Hospital again, this time he brought her to his office, which was revealed to be a closet that had been cleaned out. Not much was actually said other than Reagan threatening the Architect to kill him if she ever saw him again
	+ The Architect was then in a park when he realized he was being watch by a teenager across the way, this teenager was Ava, who was also new to the entities and he gave the name Liam Walsh to. They swapped notes and decided to begin doing weekly meets at a local cafe to figure out as they could together.
	+ At this point the Architect realized a lot of this led back the Magnus Institute and decided he needed to be able to access the archives. He scheduled a meeting with Julius Brahms while using the name Ralph Marriott. When he arrived Julius attempted to reach the Architect's true name but was unable. The Architect then explained his desire to help those without the privilege of information held in the archives, though Julius originally denied access he eventually agreed after the Architect insulted his entire world view and moral philosophy and Julius gave the Architect a job in Research. The Architect got Eye touched from this due to now working at the institute
* **October 1965**
	+ The Architect went to the cafe as planned and met with Ava, not too much was talked about, the Architect revealed he now worked at the Magnus Institute and would be able to get a lot more information now, Ava requested him to look into any statements about the Slaughter.
	+ The Architect was walking down a street when he saw a homeless teen by the side, the kid gave the name Benny and the Architect gave the name Oliver, they talked a bit and by the end Benny said he'd fix the Architect's watch (which had been busted up from his encounter with Cassidy). Benny was paid for his service and the Architect left making plans to meet again in the future.
	+ On his first day working at the the Magnus Institute, still with the name Ralph Marriott, the Architect was supposed to be given a tour by someone named Michael but when the Architect realized Reagan worked in the same part of the institute as he did things got a bit awkward, eventually things worked out and some nicknames were given, Reagan briefly stopped the Architect's hear, the Architect began going by the Architect, the Architect discovered Ace was an avatar to the Eye, due to recognizing the compulsion he had felt before, some general banter was had, and they parted generally in a better spot where they last left off.
	+ The Architect was walking along reading through some statements of the Slaughter, when he noticed someone putting up some fliers, he asked about it, apparently it was for a paranormal tabloid, and the teen putting up the flyers introduced himself as Charles, the Architect introduced himself as Jonah Soot. Charles asked if the Architect had ever seen a ghost, and as luck would have it he had a couple stories from the past couple weeks. Also he read off one of the statements he had with him (The Piper), and they split with the Architect planning to stop by the publishing studio next time he read a particularly spooky statement.
	+ The Architect went to watch a show in the theatre where he met Daman and gave the name Tyler Hughes. They talked shop a bit, then the show started and the conversation ended.
* **November 1965**
	+ The Architect went up to Julius' office shouted at him and left.
	+ He meets Hemlock in a park they talk a bit, Architect gives the name Cooper Danosky. Architect comforts Hemlock a bit until he realizes Hemlock was looking at an invisible door in the grass, he questions him about it a bit then drops it when realizing Hemlock probably has quite a bit of trauma relating to where it leads, then they awkwardly walked away from each other.
	+ Architect was walking around the institute to get his bearings and he met a familiar face, Louie. Their conversation very quickly got heated when Architect began calling out Louie's friends (Reagan and Cassidy), Architect mentioned no one remembered his friends and family, Architect almost referred to himself as Erik but corrected himself, and it eventually got to the point where Louie filled Architect's lungs with dirt. After removing the dirt from the lungs they got to a tenuous friendship and parted on good terms, but before he left Architect gave Louie a note that read, 'One filling of Archie's lungs with dirt without retaliation'.
	+ Architect met up with Benny in a cafe, Benny mentioned he works as an apprentice to a watchmaker, they found out that the other knew Ava, and Architect told Benny how to treat third degree burns.
* **December 1965**
	+ Architect was trying to map out the institute so he could navigate it a bit better when he bumped into the secretary, Lisa. They talked a bit about the Stranger and Archie's recent near death experiences
* **January 1966**
	+ To teach him about looking into statements, checking their viability, Reagan takes Archie on a field trip to a wax museum after hours, so after a bit of breaking and entering they get started, while walking through they wax figures of Ronald Reagan, Vivian Leigh, Bob Schul, Humphrey Bogart, Charlie Chaplin, one that might have been Errol Flynn, Fred Astaire, or Douglas Fairbanks, also Marlon Brando, and Alec Douglas-Home. They made their way through and the wax figures slowly became less recognizable. After both of them being totally oblivious to any potential danger, Reagan leaned up against a wax figure of Marlon Brando, and Archie leaned on the Alec Douglas-Home, and they chatted for a bit until the Marlon Brando grabbed Reagan around the throat lifting her up, and as Archie tried to come over to help, the Alec Douglas-Home grabbed him by his left wrist, holding him in place, causing him to drop his torch, which promptly flickered out. Then Archie quickly reached in his bag and pulled out his first aid kit to use some gauze and rubbing alcohol to make an improvised fire torch, he splashed Alec Douglas-Home and lit it all up with his cigarette lighter. He rushed over to do what he could to help Reagan, who managed to freeze the hand choking her, making it easy to break off. Then with the light emitting from Archie's flame lighting up the room, the two then realized how blind they are as they looked around to see dozens of disfigured wax figures surrounding them. They then made a break for the exit, Archie splashing the rest of the alcohol on the figures in the way, they quickly went up in flames, making it easy for Reagan to pull him through. Luckily, they made it out without too many injuries, Archie checked for burns, luckily none were major, there was some bruising on Reagan's neck and Archie's wrist, however nothing major, especially with Reagan's lack of a need to breathe. When talking about injuries and a quick test, Archie realized Reagan has a decent amount of nerve damage in her hand. He told her to have it checked out, and they left back to the institute to file paperwork
	+ After Reagan became Archivist, Archie was walking through the halls of the institute and noticed a change in the Archivist's room he poked his head in and said, "hehehe, wow look at you must feel pretty good you've got your own office now, do I call you my liege now?" and left.
	+ Archie was walking home late
	+ Now recovering in the hospital
	+ Continuing to recover
	+ Continuing to recover
	+ Back at the Institute
* **February 1966**
