Shit, you caught me. This has actually all just been a prelude to me asking you if you're up for getting fucked.
You in? Tick tock, better answer quick.

Didn't think it was possible for someone to be worse than you in any way, let alone in all ways.
He must be a real piece of work.
Caaaaaaan IIIIIII ask who shot him?

yep
knew it
but idk what kind of time window are we talking about
cuz im not agreeing to a 3some

dont get me wrong like he is a good guy
just kind of an idiot sometimes
always stumbling into trouble
not that hes the only one

[ Archie's kind of the same way, except yet worser still. Does Reggie have a type? Maybe so. Anyway, he relents to say: ]

serial killer
the black hood
theyve caught him by now tho so thats one less thing to worry about

Too slow. Offer retracted.
Back to slamming myself desperately against my car, tears rolling down my face, as I curse god for the underwhelming sexual experience you've tainted it with.
Shame.

Reminds me of a few people I know back home.
Too bad he's too far away for me to smack him upside the head when he screws up.
Also,

Can Riverdale just calm down for like, a second.

whatever
been there done that ive moved on already anyway
so enjoy ur car

thats exactly what im saying tho
if u think im bad u've still never met archie
hes even worse than me and moose combined

[ Actually, all three of them are bad. Moose is probably the least so in that he mostly just stumbles over dead bodies, gets shot while getting high in the woods, and immediately rebounds from his dead girlfriend with the guy he's been trying to cheat on her with. Reggie and Archie... really, two different sides of the same disaster coin, in a way. Not that Reggie sees it that way. ]

i kind of doubt it

You know I don't believe you, right? Like.
There's not a tiny, gullible shred of me that believes any of your friends are as short-sighted than you. Let alone more short-sighted than you.
That's not an insult. It's a compliment, really.
You've found this perfect event horizon of blindly charging into situations half-cocked that honestly cannot be eclipsed by another human being.
It's a talent. Don't sell yourself short on your talents.

But yeah, I hate your town. Move away, already, the next time you're back. Start a new life in the midwest. Nothing happens there.

u remember i told u archie was in juvie right
like his gfs dad is an actual mobster
and thats prob not even the weirdest or the worst situation hes ever gotten into

[ Reggie can only say "probably" because he doesn't actually know most of the details pertaining to the other shit he knows Archie's been involved in, like the Black Hood and Jason Blossom murder investigations... but still. He knows Archie almost died at least a couple times.

Also definitely going to omit any of his own dealings with and manipulations by said actual mobster, because they are... not good. Basically, Reggie knows better than to try to defend himself. He'd probably only prove Derek's point. ]

moron
even if i WANTED to move theres no way could i ever sell my parents on the freaking midwest
who wants to live there

[ derek wants to say "yeah, but that's the dude who you thought could raise a dog", but if that, like, legitimately made reggie sad, he'd feel pretty awful about it. so. backspace, backspace. ]

Yeah, okay. If you say so.
Nobody wants to live there. That's the point. You're a moron. Moron.

[ wait - ]

You said the speakeasy you work at is all... mobster aesthetic.

ur right, cuz I dont even wanna live there
and i mean riverdales not so bad
not always
its just been a rough year

[ Dot dot dot. He's not sure he likes where Derek is heading with this thought, but... ]

yeah
so?

[ look, as someone who has had a few rough years in his home town, he gets it. he just wants reggie to make better decisions than he does, which means not sticking around while everyone is fucking dying. but.

whatever. not like reggie'll remember this conversation next time he's ported out anyway. ]

How authentic is that aesthetic?
You're not... involved, are you?
Your friend's girlfriend's dad is a mobster, you're suddenly working at a speakeasy that acts like a gang...
Feels kind of weird.

[ Hometown pride is a complicated thing. Reggie certainly doesn't mind the break from Riverdale while he's here, and certainly intends to move once he's graduated, but there's concerns associated with leaving such a familiar place, too. Big fish small pond syndrome tends to work in his favor at a place like Riverdale High, but in a big city? He'll be invisible.

Which can be both good and bad. He's been learning more that sometimes the immunity that comes from relative anonymity can be a good thing. But only as long as he knows what he wants to do with his life by then, too. Otherwise he'll be invisible and lost. ]

oh
no SHES not a mobster, hes not involved in the business at all
i mean, not for lack of trying but
she wants nothing to do w/ him
and neither do i
so ive just been helping her out w/ the whole thing
