[about 20 minutes later, an image attachment comes through. in the corner of it, Archie caught the edge of his own cup: he chose the blue one, obviously. but since there's no black or beige options...]
[Archie shows up in the store about when he said he would, trying not to make eye-contact with any of the employees as he heads over to the games section with one giant cup of colorful slushie in each hand. He has his backpack full of textbooks slung over one shoulder still, since he's a naughty truant who excused himself to the bathroom and then headed straight to the porter. Whoops.
But there was no football practice tonight so like, what's the point in staying??]
Hey, Magnus. Still getting your butt kicked? [He holds out the reddish-brown slushie.]
[Archie will find that Magnus has dragged two chairs from the fancy massage chair section over to the Playstation 4 display, where Bloodbourne is serving as the demo and also his entertainment for this, his day off from work(s). he looks up when Archie approaches, a small, warm smile lighting up his face. yeah, he doesn't seem to hate Archie for his lack of purity or whatever]
[wait nevermind the warm smile was at the brown-red slushie, which he immediately sips from, before replying]
Aaah. You bet I am. Also, I googled or noogled or whatever it is here when school gets out. You truant.
[he seems amused about it, his smile becoming a little more sly, as he extends the controller out to his friend. he lifts the slushie, adding]
I mean, maybe it was a half day. [But he shrugs, a touch sheepish, because he's so bad at lying he usually doesn't even bother trying. Only occasionally. When it seems... important.]
But it's not like you're in school right now either.
[Nailed it. Archie settles down into the second seat, grinning as he takes the controller, pinning his slushie between his knees.]
You're just jealous because they don't have beige or black slushies.
[Oops, #revealed that Archie remembers Magnus' favorite colors from their very first conversation. Lets just not worry about it or think too hard about it lets just move on.]
What would that be...? Licorice and coffee, maybe?
[idle musing about food because it's the most important. luckily for Archie, Magnus also has a steel trap brain for remembering gay arbitrary nonsense about his friends; the mention of his favourite colours passes without incident (apart from Magnus feeling faintly pleased, that Archie's bothered to remember something about him. it's sweet)]
I don't have to go to school because I'm dead. And I'm stuck on the Witch of Hemwick fight, the one covered with all the eyeballs. She keeps healing and resurrecting. [a pause, because now that he's said that out loud... he slurps his slushie loudly] -- Anyway. What subject did you bail on?
