Heeeeeey, Reddy!! What’s uppp!!!

[Ya boy drunk, Red.]

[versusseeker]

[halloflamer]

Uhhh... yeah.

[Pause, he sounded a little guilty. At least he’s honest.] Where you at, this party’s great!!

[versusseeker]

[halloflamer]

I dunno! [Blue laughs, the mumbles something to someone like an 'oops sorry'] Archie told me 'bout it so I just came.

Whaaaat, you didn't hear? I woulda brought you, ya stinker!

[versusseeker]

w <(o◕ᆺ◕o)>

[There's a bit of a pause.]

when u bb?

[Be back. That's be back.]

[halloflamer]

You always are. [Blue scoffs, as if maybe a little insulted Red wouldn't assume he knew that. Well, anyway...]

[It sounds like he's wandering over to a less crowded area of the party, because the background noise fades.] Um, Iunno. Probably when I get bored. Or when they run outta drinks, haha!

[Which won't happen, thanks to this nifty temporary power of his.]

[versusseeker]

u drnking lots?

[halloflamer]

Hah? Always, yanno I like to party, hahahaa!

I'll save some for you, y'want? I bet I can smuggle a bit out. [He cracks himself up.]

[versusseeker]

[halloflamer]

Huh?

--Oh, th'one Yusuke gave me! Yeah, it's awesome! If I turn the juice alcoholic it's just like uh, a mixed drink or somethin'. Seriously, you should lemme use it for you when we hang, it's great.

[versusseeker]

[Is that really so much to ask?]

[halloflamer]

Oh, well 'at's fine.

[...]

Um. Now? [Let's be real, Blue would drop everything if Red needed him, but...]

[versusseeker]

no
ur drnk

[He realizes how accusatory that sounds about a second later.]

@ a prty
its k

[halloflamer]

Well, yeah. [Blue pauses for a moment, speaking slowly- probably a mix of confusion and alcohol.] What else'd you do at a party?

[He half-laughs, like he's playing it off as a joke.]

[versusseeker]

u go 2 lots of prtys l8ly

[halloflamer]

[Blue frowns to himself- he's found someplace out of the way to sit and chat. Well, leave messages- wasn't exactly a chat when it was one-sided.]

Yeah, I guess so. Well, there's not much else to do, not like we can train much or find new opponents or even go out and catch anything.

I'm kinda bored.

[He huffs a little to himself. What, was Red mad he was being left out, or something?]

[versusseeker]

we can fnd smth 2 do
smth else

[halloflamer]

Maybe. Like what?

[Red was usually the one that made things exciting, but... Only if they could compete, or something.]

[They weren't little kids playing games in the yard, anymore.]

[versusseeker]

idk

[The lack of faith stabs at him a little. They'd never needed to get drunk to hang out before. They're older now, sure, and this world isn't anything like their own, but that doesn't mean that they can't just enjoy their time together sober, does it?

[It occurs to Red that Blue probably isn't partying just because he has nothing better to do. And that stabs even worse.]

r u ok?

[halloflamer]

[Blue lets out a ragged sigh, slightly frustrated. Red could never just out and say anything- he always just had to guess what he was trying to say.]

[If he ever said it in the first place. Blue scowls at the question that follows.]

'm fine. [Obviously not. But Red knew that already- even if he didn't want to draw attention to what had happened that night. Why was he even asking?] What's with you? Y'that mad I didn't tell you 'bout this party?

[versusseeker]

not mad
im wrrd abt u
