Just Blaaaaaaze! (294 views)

Arthur didn’t really look impressed when Teddy opposed the term stoner, but decided it was none of his business anyway. If these guys wanted to blaze it up in the woods, who was he to stop them? Not that he necessarily approved of what they were doing.

When Teddy mentioned his aurora being yellow Arthur rolled his eyes again. What, the guy was some kind of psychic now too? Or maybe he was just hallucinating.

”I’m not stressed. I’m fine.” Arthur snapped though his tone said otherwise. When the boys offered to help him look for the flyers, Arthur was taken off-guard. Why on earth did they want to play scavenger hunt for these things? Were they really out of things to do…? ”No, really, it’s fine. It’s not that big of a deal. You can just continue… uh… being ‘cannabis enthusiasts’ right here.”

Besides, what if one of them got high and wandered into the deeper part of the woods and got lost? Then wouldn’t he be responsible? He frowned as he watched Wade do a little dance.

”Yeah… she teaches science at the high school. She likes to take her classes out for nature walks all the time.” Arthur explained, though his expression soured at the plume of pot smoke that came out of Theo’s mouth. He supposed this must be what it felt like for others around him when he lit up a cigarette – though at least cigarettes were legal.

But whatever. He wasn’t here to be their lecturer.

”Comic design, cool.” Arthur said, wondering if this guy was one of those artists that liked to get high and draw out comics or art. Sure he’d heard about them in the brief art history courses he’d taken, but he never thought he’d meet someone like that in the forest at Metric. Wouldn’t ‘needs to get high to find inspiration’ be a reason for the school to turn this guy away? Oh well. Maybe they just didn’t know and only cared about the final product.

When Wade said a rather wordy description of his reason for enrolling at the school Arthur clicked his tongue inside of his mouth in slight annoyance at the overdramatic flair with which Wade spoke. He was not a stranger to overdramatic actors, having met a lot back when he was solely in the acting program.

”Right, theater. Well, I’m sure coming out here gives you guys plenty of inspiration for your respective fields. You must not be too concerned about getting expelled, right? Unless you’re that confident your talents will keep you enrolled.” Arthur deadpanned, rolling his eyes when Wade took the joint from Theo and took a puff. ”Not to be a dick. Just saying. Doesn’t really affect me either way.”

Hey. Maybe if he offended them enough, they’d lose interest in helping him out. Arthur followed the two boys out of the clearing, eyes darting from one to the other. ”A long trek? How far in the woods are you planning to go?”
