[w...what!! taako is being cooler than him! archie quickly does two shots of the first thing he grabs. which is some shitty wine. bad idea.
he arrives a little after taako, having foregone riding crobat- or bringing any of his pokémon with him. cabs are slower than flying, unfortunately, but he doesn't care. he waves happily when he notices the elf.]
Hey, bro! You look nice. You ready to get fucked up?
[ Taako's leaning against the wall outside the bar waiting, outfit and makeup on point as always—he's got black smudged across both eyes in a way that is just messy enough to still look deliberate, and he's wearing a whole lot of black and hot pink leather. He looks up and slips his phone back into his pocket as Archie approaches. ]
[fortunately, archie is dressed so badly he makes taako look better just by standing next to him. he's in an ensemble that even magnus would likely find distasteful; a pink bandana, pink hoodie, black skinny jeans and a weird tshirt.]
Fuck it. Why not? [2depressed to give a shit about his bank account.] You wanna draw first blood?
Good, 'cause my wallet doesn't fit in these pants.
[ His jacket has like six pockets but that's beside the point. Also, Magnus is a ginger who insists red is "his color", so this is a step up in the fashion department from Taako's usual dive bar date. ]
[a pause. archie looks around the visible booths, because he's sure as shit not gonna go wandering around. there's a really good one in the corner, but it's taken. a less good one on the other side of the bar.]
...Y'wanna talk them people out that good one? Or go for the shitty one?
[ With a quick word and wiggle of his Umbra Staff, Taako triple casts Prestidigitation, making the light above the booth appear to shower sparks down from it as a terrible smell suddenly wafts up from between the folks sitting there and a greasy smear starts to spread across the table. The couple seated there shares a few awkward, concerned words and then quickly vacate the booth. Once they're out of sight, it only takes a wave of Taako's hands for all of the unsavory effects to vanish. The table and seats actually look even cleaner now than they had before! ]
[archie looks utterly fucking delighted during this entire display, laughing his ass off. he swooces on over and slides into the booth the moment they're gone.]
Yeah, luckily my way won't get us thrown out before we've even finished on bottle!
[ Speaking of which, he tops off his shot glass and slides the bottle across the table to Archie, waiting for him to fill his too before downing the shot. ]

Moments later, a picture of the same shot glass, now empty, appears. ]

[MAGIC SOMETHING, FOOL.]
Good choice. [he takes a step forward, holding the door open for taako.] After you.
no subject
[ He strides into the bar and takes a seat at the bar, flagging the bartender down. ]
What's the best tequila you have? Bring us a couple shot glasses and a bottle of the tequila that's like three steps down from that.
no subject
[archie follows taako, looking around idly. it is... sufficiently seedy. he can't help but snort how taako phrases the order.]
Working up, huh? My liver says thanks. [a pause.] Do you even have a liver?

What do you mean, do I have a liver? Of course I have a liver.

[ There's one of those little drink menu stands on the table, and Taako scopes it out while he waits for the liquor to hit. ]
Look, this place even has imPort themed drinks!

Do they have you? D--do they have me?!
