You're not exactly very crass.

[ And he tends to want to look more respectable when it comes to Betty. ]

[efficaciousness]

I suppose so. It was all his fault, of course,
I just don't particularly want to take the blame.

[herbsandstuff]

bribing usually takes money or whatever, not brains.

how would i fuck up your rep. i don't talk about you.

[intellectualize]

and not exactly completely wholesome, either.

( aside from hailing from a very all-american apple pie family, that is. betty cooper might play the role of perfect for the sake of appeasing her parents (and herself, on some level), but she's still a teenage girl — and as a teenage girl, she's been subjected to more than one crass locker room conversation initiated by cheryl blossom and a handful of others. )

i've heard worse. besides, it doesn't really count as crass if you're quoting someone else, does it?

[ascertainable]

There's still a difference. And I like to think of myself as a respectful kind of guy.

[ The kind of guy trying to be worthy of her while still attempting to stay true to himself. It was a fine line kind of balance. ]

I suppose that you do have a point there.
You've heard worse though?

[intellectualize]

there are very few things that would make me think of you as anything less than a respectful kind of guy, jughead jones.

( because loyalty is the betty cooper way, after all. )

try being in the girls' locker room after cheerleading practice. it gets a little scandalous.

( then again, she can't imagine the boys' locker room is any less salacious. )

[favorite_forgery]

[herbsandstuff]

dumbass

Do you want me to talk about you?

[ascertainable]

[ He has to smile at that but he decides not to address it directly -- he can think of a few things, probably. But he is a harsher judge on himself than she would ever be. ]

It's not just makeup and clothes talk, then? I'm shocked.

[ No, he's not really. ]

[favorite_forgery]

ur not wrong.

i dunno. do ur friends know ur fuckin around with a dude?

[herbsandstuff]

Not really i don't really talk about that kind of stuff.

[favorite_forgery]

how come? embarrassed?

[herbsandstuff]

No.

[favorite_forgery]

just checking.

its cool, i havent told my friends about you either.

[herbsandstuff]

It's no one's business.

[favorite_forgery]

just u an me, right?

[herbsandstuff]

Yeah. I like it like this.

[favorite_forgery]

cool. me too.

[He wonders if that means that Jasper is going to stop asking what they are, but now that he doesn't really ask anymore, Proko finds himself thinking about it more. ]

so we gots a walmart date to go on soon.

[herbsandstuff]

[ It's too hard and frustrating to keep asking that and never getting a straight answer, wondering and wanting something from Prokopenko that the other didn't have any intention of giving him. ]

Yeah. Not the sort of date you gotta dress up for either.

Maybe even one you have to dress down for...

[favorite_forgery]

[He wants to give it to Jasper. Maybe he's just a coward and he doesn't know how to stand up to Kavinsky. Part of him is scared that if he tells Jasper about K, the other boy won't even want to deal with the whole situation. ]

if i dressed any more down i think i'd be naked.

[herbsandstuff]

Well, I wouldn't mind that.

@ captainsunshine

[seredresser]

[ from here ]

I was not impressed...

[captainsunshine]

just astounding? You said astounding.

[seredresser]

That's not always a positive.

[captainsunshine]

Well, then I guess I'll have to find something more meaningful to impress you with.
