[ There's a longer delay this time, both because Reggie's surprised, and because he's debating how to answer. Like, yes and no-- he knows people who probably deal, or at least knows people who know people who deal, but... ]

I dont do that anymore
why
u need sumthing?

[perfectible]

[ WELL SHIT. or however betty would say it.

right now? it's probably "well shit". ]

It's fine. I'm sorry, forget I asked.

[bragnificent]

[ Whoa. Reggie is certainly curious now; she has his attention. ]

no hold on cooper
whats this about
cmon u can tell me

[perfectible]

I just need some Adderal for this project I'm working on.

[bragnificent]

huh

[ Does he believe her? Who knows. And it probably doesn't matter. ]

adderalls easy
bet I could find u sum
whats the project

[perfectible]

It's okay. I have someone else I can ask.[ aw... she came to you first, reg! ]
I can't say on an unsecure network.

[ that's the truth. maybe he'll be able to read between the lines: rebellion.]

[bragnificent]

[ He's touched. Truly.

And Reggie does get her meaning... partially. Maybe not rebellion specifically, but some kind of similarly sensitive information. ]

r u sure
cuz its no problem
just give me a couple hrs to track sum down and I'll bring it to u

[ Because yes, he's been to her place before to visit Archie, so he knows where it is... but don't worry about that. ]

[perfectible]

No, it's fine, really, Reggie. You don't do that anymore and I can ask someone else.

[bragnificent]

ok if u insist
but level w/ me
when did this even start anyway
is this a new thing for u

[perfectible]

Is what a new thing?

[bragnificent]

the adderall thing
seems like kind of a drastic thing to resort to if u've never had it b4

[perfectible]

My mom put me on it a long time ago.

[bragnificent]

hmm
well
I know ppl who know ppl
so in case this other source of urs ever fails to deliver I can probably score u sumthing

[ It's just adderall, after all. No big. He's met enough junkies here that at least one of them is bound to have a source, and... well, Reggie feels like it's probably worthwhile enough to make an effort to help Betty out. They're both from Riverdale, after all; they owe each other at least this much. ]

is archie a part of this project too?

[perfectible]

Thanks.

[ but it was already humbling enough to ask once... ]

No. I'd rather keep him out of it. It's safer that way... you know how he can be.

[bragnificent]

[ At least now he Knows, though. Surely that makes it at least a little easier... ]

lol
if u mean a walking danger magnet then yeah no kidding
but u guys r like close and stuff right
hed probably wanna help

[perfectible]

He always wants to help but I want to keep him safe.

[ since he does the same for her, all the time. ]

[bragnificent]

[ On the one hand Reggie can understand that protective instinct, but on the other, not so much; it's never been like that between him and Archie, or even him and Veronica. ]

whatever works 4 u I guess
I wont say anything
probably be a while b4 we talk again anyway

[perfectible]

I'll pull him in if I need to.

Why? Did you guys have a falling out?

[ SHE AND ARCHIE HAD SEX AND THEY ARE TOTALLY FINE. YEP. why not you too reg? ]

[bragnificent]

[ LOOK...... HE'S WORKING THRU SOME SHIT BUT... working on it, ]

uh
no not exactly
I just thought maybe hed want sum space is all

[perfectible]

Because of what happened in the elevator?

[bragnificent]

well yeah cuz of what happened in the elevator
what else?

[perfectible]

You shouldn't give him space, Reggie. He's probably feeling just as weird about it as you are.

[bragnificent]

easy for u to say
its just

[ ... ]

well howd u guys handle it

[perfectible]

[ avoided each other for a while and then had sex again...]

It's not "easy" for me to say. Archie has been my best friend longer than you guys were friends.

Our situation was different but we talked about it. [ that is true.] He internalizes things. It's better if you talk to him or he'll start to find a way to blame himself.

[bragnificent]

so what
do u rly expect me to believe that neither of u have ever even THOUGHT about it? like not even once?
esp if u've been best friends forever
like cmon I dont buy it

but I know archies never thought about doing a guy b4 he even told me that

[ Er... uh. He follows that up quickly so maybe Betty comment on that: ]

look
fine
I'll talk to him next time I see him

[ Because Archie blaming himself also hadn't even occurred to Reggie... because how? Reggie's been more worried Archie might have felt taken advantage of, aside from the obvious awkwardness already inherent to the situation, but-- well, maybe Betty still has some kind of point. They need to talk sometime. ]
