TEXT.

[bragnificent]

betty
hey
congrats on getting ur boo back 🎉

[ He's not actually that invested, because they're not that close and Reggie's also just not that kind of guy, but given what all Betty's agreed to help him out with, he figures he can at least make an effort.

And anyway, that's not why he's texting. ]

ok so like
ur business is ur business & I'm obviously staying out of it
but I just wanted to check w/ u first in case theres anything Im not supposed to say to him
yknow
besides the obvious

[perfectible]

Thank you for checking in. I'm going to tell Jug everything... I just need to ease him into things. He doesn't remember being here at all.

[bragnificent]

sure thing
& yeah, so I noticed
does that happen like a LOT or sumthing
cuz its weird like what the hell does that even mean

[perfectible]

I don't know. I thought for a moment they'd taken him, brainwashed him or something. But it's real. I don't know how it's even possible.

[bragnificent]

[ Reggie had kind of wondered that same thing, but opts not to say so-- also opts not to ask how she can be so sure, because his intention isn't to freak her out. He's just a little freaked out about the idea of it, himself. ]

well at least now we know, huh?
that ppl actually CAN go home

[perfectible]

[ She goes on to answer his question, maybe.] I've heard of it happening to other people now.

[bragnificent]

yeah
I know a couple ppl who know ppl who left
contracts broken, the whole shebang

[perfectible]

He looks really rough right now. But he looks the way he did when I saw it back home.

[bragnificent]

rly
and when was that again

[perfectible]

After Penny and her guys almost beat him to death.

[bragnificent]

damn
that was a while ago lol
sumtimes I forget that ur all p much from the past

[perfectible]

It's further back than he was before, that's what's confusing.

[bragnificent]

huh

[ That... is weird, for sure... ]

u know what tho
its probably just like sum kinda complicated space/time physics thing
& when we go back n forth it messes with our memories cuz we're like, going back in time or sumthing
I wonder if nick would know about that sort of thing

[perfectible]

Maybe he would. Although it feels more like science than magic, not that I would know.

[bragnificent]

maybe its both
idk
cuz I feel like if it was JUST science someone would of probably solved all this crap already
not that I would know either tho lol

[perfectible]

Don't feel bad. Riverdale High didn't really teach us this stuff.

[bragnificent]

true
riverdale high barely taught us anything
and I never feel bad anyway

[perfectible]

It taught us enough.

[bragnificent]

maybe
but mostly not on purpose

u sure ur good tho?

[perfectible]

Are you good?

[bragnificent]

didnt I just say I'm always good?
why wouldnt I be good
jughead doesnt bother me THAT much

[perfectible]

Then what do you think bothers me so much?

[bragnificent]

well

idk
it doesnt have to BOTHER u like thats not even what I'm saying
it just seems complicated thats all

[perfectible]

Jug and I have been through a lot.

We're going to be okay.

[bragnificent]

yeah, yeah
whatever
rad

but can I ask u a favor tho
just dont like

[ ... Ugh. There's a bit of a delay before he continues. ]

dont start leaving me out of stuff now just cuz the 3 muskateers are back together
ok
