[ A little important PSA, if I'm not on here you can interact with Archie (and other riverda.le muses) on my multi @legacysouls !! ]

His first instinct is to jump into DEFENSIVE mode, to vouch for his hometown that Tate keeps insulting. And he very nearly does, having to literally bite down on the tip of his tongue to keep himself quiet. Of course someone moving from a big city like L.A. to barely a pinpoint on the map like Riverdale would be BORED by the significant lack of stimulus. But Archie enjoyed it, he's been to bigger cities and though he could eventually figure out his way to navigate through it, he certainly wouldn't last very long living on his own in one. Maybe that's why his friends always tagged along with him in every thought he has of moving to New York City one day.

" Skatepark's on the Southside. There's only one bus that goes to the city so it's not hard to find. Believe it or not, I have been out of Riverdale before. And...no, I don't smoke. " Archie chimes off the list of answers to the blonde boy's questions, maybe with a hint more SNARK than he wanted near the middle there. " Anyways, offer is still on the table. We can stop at the crummy diner if you need anything to eat. "

"Show me around?" tate repeated. "What's there to show? Some crummy diner that claims to have the best milkshakes around or whatever." this guy was starting to give him a headache. he hadn't had much of a chance to go exploring the place, taking on the habit of simply going straight home and barricading himself in his bedroom on his computer- then repeat. "I never understood the misplaced pride people from small towns have. I mean- do you at least have a skatepark around here? Which bus takes me to the city?"

the city was more his playing field. everything he was craving could definitely be found there. "I grew up about... Mm. Twenty minutes from Hollywood? I know when you've never left the suburbs, you have to make due to entertain yourself but..." tate ended his sentence with simply shaking his head. they probably had very different ideas on what fun was. "You don't smoke, do you? I could really use a cigarette."

A soft, AMUSED huff of air leaves his nose at Jughead's comment, responding to the grin with a small smile. " Yeah, no kidding. Kinda surprised we're all still relatively okay as it is. " Archie raises his eyebrows a little and reaches for the fries on his plate again, picking up three at once and eating them slowly.

Warm brown hues glance out the window to the gentle pattering of RAIN on the glass that decided to weep from the dark clouds only minutes ago. The wet surface of the pavement outside reflecting the colorful lights of Pop's NEON sign and the occasional headlights of cars. The redhead's attention goes back onto Jughead immediately when he speaks.

" Things are...y'know...they're fine. My mom's still worried about me staying out here with everything going on. Honestly, I think my dad is starting to agree with her. "

Opposite Archie, Jughead took out his worries on the burger so neatly held in his hands. Of course, he looked to the other with concern and complete understanding...but not without taking a huge bite of his food. Writing his novel - it seemed to help with his processing of everything going on. Or, perhaps, it hindered him; convincing the beanie-clad boy that reality was a certain way, causing Jughead to absentmindedly dissociate with the mess that was Riverdale every now and again.

"Barely." He finally answered after swallowing his bite of food. Sitting the burger back down on his plate, Jughead leaned forward slightly, arms crossing as he leaned against the booth table. A scoff of a laugh escaped him, lopsided grin forming as he attempted to cheer up one of his closest friends. "Careful, Arch. If you're not careful, it might just happen - this is Riverdale, after all. Next thing you know, you're waking up in the middle of the woods, one-armed." Settling back, Jughead took a drink of his shake.

"How are things, anyway? Back at the Andrews abode, I mean."

He remains silent as she states he's going to get himself killed, brown eyes avoiding her gaze, avoiding the fact that he knew every risk he took when jumping into situations like these and was more than willing to let the WORST happen so long as he helped to save people until his final breath. The scent of earth being stirred up beneath the other's boot STRONGLY fills his nostrils as well as the metallic hint of Hope's blood when she bites her own wrist. Archie has to briefly glance away from her again as she does so, not bothered by the sight of it, but by the mere fact she had to HURT herself in order to draw it out.

It only takes a few seconds before he's pulling a small pocket knife from his jeans, opening it and cutting a slash across his palm with just enough force to make it bleed. Archie cups his hand so not a DROP is yet spilled onto the ground and holds out it out to her. " Take it then, Hope. Whatever we need to stop this. "

@townmartyr from here!

It isn't his job to make sure the school is safe. If anything, it should be hers; she is the tribrid. She can't be killed -- the rest of the students, the staff, they can. She also feels like she needs to make up for the lives her father had taken, the reputation her family has. She has to be worth what they'd sacrificed. And how can she do that when she allows anyone to run into danger with her?

" I get it. I do. But you're going to get yourself killed sooner or later. " And when she could have prevented it? She's not quite sure how she'd look into a mirror. Her boot is moving through the dirt regardless, tracing some rune that Hope remembers seeing her aunt use. A hand is held out for his, after her fangs bite into her own wrist. The blood of a vampire and a werewolf; it's what the spell calls for, she's sure of it. She has to be sure.

" If you really want to help, " she continues, and there is that part of her that wishes he wouldn't. She is more than capable of taking care of everything herself, throwing herself into harm's way before she will let someone else. " I need your blood. "

Archie keeps his head DOWN as he's spoken to, only lifting it and looking Tommy in the eye when he mentions him being a bleeding heart. " I'm not gunna just stand around and watch some guy who didn't do anything get beat up or worse. " It wasn't RIGHT and there was no way that even in prison he'd just allow that to happen without interfering.

He reaches up and wipes the SHEEN of sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand. Being outside in the sweltering summer heat without much shade around unless you wanted to risk getting into an altercation wasn't exactly ideal, but he wanted the fresh air. Besides, NONE of this was ideal. Archie knew he shouldn't be locked away, that he should still be a free man and be enjoying senior year with his friends instead of learning to survive in here.

" The judge gave me three years on manslaughter charges. " He responds, biting the inside of his cheek a little after hearing himself say it out loud for the FIRST time. " You gotta know, Tommy. I didn't do anything, I'm not guilty. Hiram Lodge framed me. I just I plead guilty because it was easier than dragging my friends and family through more stress. "

"are you kiddin' me?" tommy shakes his head slowly before his pace subtly yet rapidly quickens and he forces laughter. tommy uses the bench as a footrest and props his elbow on his knee as he leans in. "— that guy woulda PUMMELED you and left nothin' for the infirmary." red isn't the weakest kid that tommy's spotted in the yard, but he's as green as a goddamn christmas tree. he's relatively sure that archie will be able to handle his own in here someday, but he's got a lot to learn.

by saving archie today, tommy has unwittingly signed himself as his teacher, he supposes. shit, if he doesn't do it, tommy doubts that anybody else will. "being a bleeding heart ain't gonna do you any good." oh, TOMMY is one to talk; he sighs, and reluctantly opts to sit beside archie on this flaming hunk of junk.

"don't mention it, but man — you gotta adjust if you're gonna survive. how long's your sentence?"

One would think that he wouldn't BOTHER with someone like Tate, their social worlds couldn't be more opposite of each other. In fact, the two were getting CURIOUS looks from a few students that passed by. However, none of that ever mattered to Archie, his best friend was of a similar nature to the blond, and thus he wasn't too quick to judge based off of that alone. It couldn't have been easy for him to move across the country, at least Archie thinks he can recall someone saying something about Tate previously living in California.

The apple in his hands was more like something to FIDGET with than something to eat at this point, his fingers absentmindedly pinching the stem. " Uhm I guess I'd leave you alone if that's what you really want. " Archie shrugged his shoulders, a small smile curving the corner of his mouth up a little. " But on the other hand I'd be more than willing to show you around after school, try to prove you wrong. Your call, dude. "

as is moving from his beloved los angeles to riverdale, new york wasn't bad enough. some random ginger seemed gung-ho on playing the good guy and interacting with him in some sort of way: saying good morning to him despite how many times tate ignored him, smiling at him if they were to accidentally lock eyes, even inviting him to come sit at his lunch table. (tate didn't take him up on that offer, of course.) it was ruining his attempt at being a ghost and simply getting through his senior year without incident. he planned the reputation of a loner with purpose.

tate took in a deep breath and clicked the lock button on the side of his phone, first looking off across the school's track field before turning to look at archie. "Let's say hypothetically... I tell you, no, I'm not okay. I tell you this place fucking sucks, it smells weird, there's nothing to do, and I have this guy who is insistent on being my friend regardless of how much I ignore him- what the fuck are you going to do about it? Hm?"

@hoboandcrew asked: no one’s gonna die ! okay? we’re gonna fix this . (from Jughead!)

The redhead's knee anxiously bounces a little under the table, his hands intertwined and held against his chin as he nods in agreement with his best friend. Fix it. That's all they've been trying to do for years, fix up their little town from the various THREATS that plagued it, because apparently, no one else seemed to care as much as they did. There was an EXHAUSTION in all of their eyes that had gradually managed to snuff out the innocence of the last remaining years of teenage youth they had.

" God...remember what it was like before all this stuff started happening, Jug? " His hands fall back against the table and he reaches for a ketchup-dipped fry on his plate, barely feeling the urge to eat, but knowing if he didn't he'd feel worse when he went home. Things hadn't been completely without STRIFE, like the fact his mom and dad had separated and she had decided to move to Chicago, giving him the difficult decision of choosing between them. Of course, staying in Riverdale where his friends were had won out in the end. " I'd give my left arm to just relax and go on that camping trip right about now. "

@noblecide asked: "what answer will make you stop asking ?"

Archie awkwardly ROLLS a red apple from side to side into each palm of his hand before he stills it after a moment. Maybe he should just leave well enough alone, Tate clearly NEVER wants to talk to him despite his attempts at idle conversation either at the cafeteria or in class. Then again, the other boy hardly spoke to anyone at school. Tate had quite the reputation of his blunt and quiet nature. However, on this particular day Tate seemed off much more off than usual. So the redhead had decidedly tore away from his friend group and took a seat on the bench next to him, asking if he was alright.

" I mean, preferably one where you say you are okay. " Archie's brows FURROW a little and he pulls his arms near his chest. " But it's fine if it's not and you don't have to explain anything if you don't want to. Would just be sucky of me to notice something might be up and not ask, y'know? Doesn't hurt to. "

@triiibred asked: ❝ why do you do this? risk everything? ❞

He can feel his own pulse THUMPING loudly in his ears, blood pumping through his body and feeling that familiar burn of anger surge up inside him. It was frustrating, being called out on his impulsive behavior, more-so frustrating that Hope had decided to confront him about this RIGHT before they were about to go put an end to the current monster that was wreaking havoc on the school. Which honestly seemed like it was happening much more often, which meant a lot less sleep for Archie when he was busy worrying over his friends and fellow classmates.

" Because! " Archie practically GROWLS at the other, trying his best to keep his composure. Which was difficult to do when you're a damn werewolf. " If I don't do it, then people's lives are going to end up being on my hands. If I can just do something about it in the moment without worrying about what happens to me it doesn't matter. As long as they're safe...it doesn't matter. "

this way i can keep an eye on you .

patience ,  and all will be revealed .

you’re lying , it makes no sense .

i gotta say ,  i’m really hating this .  i just ,  nothing feels real .

i’m just gonna wake up and be me again .

this cannot be my life !

please stop saying it’s gonna be alright because it’s not !

i was in a mental institution .

not to outdo you ,  but crazy girl carries a lot more stigma .

my strongest memories of you have to do with that guitar .

oh ,  boo - hoo ,  what .  is .  the .  plan ?

did you not hear me say very ,  very carefully ?!

this place is about as secure as a kiosk at the mall .

do not snap at me ,  okay ?

do you have any enemies ?  anyone who might want to hurt you ?

am i doing all these things with my mind ?!

i haven’t cursed anyone in years .

weren’t you nervous to play in front of people ?

let’s just say i’m addicted to more than just coffee .

would you play for me ?

since you missed the concert ,  i thought we could have one of our own .

my keen sense of perception is giving me the impression that you are upset .

don’t partonize me ,  [ name ] .

look ,  why don’t we just quietly work together ?

it was an accident ,  i didn’t mean for anyone to get hurt .

i didn’t know it was gonna be dangerous .

no one’s gonna die !  okay ?  we’re gonna fix this .

have you seen him ?  i mean ,  really looked at him ?

when you really love someone ,  you want them to be happy .  even if it isn’t with you .

talking down to me does not help !

i’m not talking down to you ,  i’m just talking you DOWN  …  there’s a difference .

it’s this place ,  it’s a thousand things !

you SHOT me ?!

with clear eyes  …  and a full heart ,  you can’t lose .

will you tell me everything that happened while i was sleeping ?

i’m so sorry ,  i know i should’ve told you sooner .

i remember ,  now .  i remember everything .

i’m not gonna let you go back to that .

you’ve tried everything ,  haven’t you ?

if i only get one day ,  i am so ,  so glad i got this one .

i’m counting on you to fix all of this .

i’ll find a way .  i promise .

what answer will make you stop asking ?

relax ,  i’m not here for you .

that’s why you’re yelling like your hair’s on fire ?

i hate being friends with you .

i want to punch things .

i’m on the verge of a major breakthrough !

fine ,  i’ll go .  this better be snappy .

i called the police ,  they said i had to wait 24 hours .
