[ It's a good thirty-five minutes before Kyle get to Archie's, but he's got a nice food surprise for his friend. As well as a jacket, which is unusual for him.
He knocks like a good polite person, but then lets himself in. ]
Hey, man!
[ Kyle looks perfectly normal. In fact, without his horns and pale eyes, Archie and Kyle could be mistaken for brothers. ]
[Archie slips out of the kitchen, grinning when Kyle comes through the door. He looks him over, considering.]
Wow! You look great.
[Frankly, Archie thought all the demon stuff looked great (special effects!! in real life!!!), but he knows Kyle didn't exactly find living like that as novel and exciting as he did.]
Thanks! Good. Real good. [ His grin is wide without shame. ] But it nullifies my fire, too, so I get cold now. Which really sucks? I didn't realize it was such a pain to change between your house and, like, outside, and then into a store.
So, sorry, I won't be a good heating blanket tonight. But, plus side, I can drink?
Have you always been warm all the time? [Things Archie can't believe he never actually asked Kyle... hmm.] You should move to Heropa if you don't like the cold, I think Pennsylvania gets real winter weather, unlike Florida.
[Plus then Kyle would live nearby and that'd be so cool... Archie laughs, though, waving a hand as he returns to the kitchen to bring out a couple cans of magically alcohol-ized Ecto Cooler that Reggie left in the fridge. It's thematic!!]
As long as I can really remember. [ Before puberty, its a bit of a blur. Kyle really has no interest in going back that far anymore. Too many regrets. But if nothing else, Spooky would do better in Heropa than Nonah or visiting him in Maurtia Falls. ]
Oh my god, you nerd! [ But from the way Kyle laughs, it's clear he loves it, too. Who says no to Ghostbuster-themed anything! ] Let's get crunk. Or, whatever the cool kids say when they drink underage.
[Archie looks amused, tossing Kyle the drink and putting an extra one for each of them on the coffee table. A Spirit Adventures marathon is currently running, with a new episode just about the start, on a commercial break at the moment. He flops down onto the couch, casual and easy.] Definitely no one says "crunk." [At least, not since like 2010 or something.] So, do you think ghosts are real?
Oh. Okay then. I'll come up with a better word next time.
[ He follows Archie down to the couch as well, keeping hardly any space between them. Spirit Adventures is what Kyle lives for, and he's so glad to have a friend who understands his spiritual needs. ]
Uh, well? I mean... I think there's something? Spooky's always on some trip to stop such-and-such, or save monks from a haunted so-and-so. [ Sorry, Arch. He's a little desensitized to cool paranormal shit. ] You ever seen a ghost? Do I need to hold your hand through this episode, dude?
action. sorry for the wait
