Beanie Boy

Secret Community

You and Jughead are in the bunker. You guys cuddle right after sex. "What are you thinking about?" Jughead asks. "Do you think it's sort of.. ghoulish for us to crashing into Dilton's bunker and having sex in it?" You ask sitting up. "I mean this bunker is the only place in town where we can get a modicum of privacy. My dad's been watching us like a hawk. Same with Betty's mom." Jughead says. You look at the drawings on the walls. "There deaths, it frightens me. Ben jumped out a window 2 days after I was covered in blood trying to save his life. And we watched him crash on those cars below the window. Betty took it pretty hard too. Ben didn't scream. When he fell he didn't let out so much as a whisper. Why not? Is that like one of the rules of Gryphons and Gargoyles?" You ask. Jughead stands up. "Y/n  That's what we're missing.  There's no rule book. There's no players manual. Why if that's the key to all of this?" Jughead asks. "The way that Ethel, Ben, and Dilton talked about this, it's like a religion.. or a cult." You say standing up after him. "Every cult has its king." Jughead states. "We get the rule book, maybe we'll get the king." You say. You guys get dressed and leave the bunker.

You go to school and meet up with Betty. "Where were you guys?" She asks. "I uh- the trailer." You say. "Pops." Jughead says at the same time as you. "I was at pops." Betty says. "Dumbass." You say nudging him in the arm "ah, ok I know what you guys were doing." Betty says with a smile. "I wanna rip your pony tail off sometimes. You know that?" You ask. "Anyway, Veronica says there is gonna be a very strict dress code at her Speakeasy." Betty states. "What are you getting at? Is a beanie, plaid, and a stained shirt no classy?" You say pointing to your clothes. "Hey Ethel's back." Jughead says. "Yeah she's talking to that weirdo girl from the Farm. I think her name is Evelyn What-Shit-never or whatever." You say eating peanuts. Betty pulls you aside. "What if the game is connected to the Farm? Ben, Dilton, and Ethel started playing the game this summer, which is when the Farm and the Evernevers moved to Riverdale. Evelyn's dad, Edgar, is there leader. My mom won't stop talking about him. He's like some kind of-" Betty states. "King. How much do you know about him and the Farm?" You ask finishing her sentence. "Basically nothing." Betty states. "Should we start with Evelyn or Ethel?" Jughead asks. "Ethel. Evelyn creeps me out." You reply. "Okay, but last time we talked to Ethel, she had a seizure." Jughead states. "I'll be more gentle. Or- try." You say.

Meanwhile at pops.
Veronica gets a call from pop to go to the top of the Chock'lit shop. There sits penny. Penny Peabody. "Penny, we haven't had the pleasure. Now, what do you want?" Veronica asks. "I heard you were looking for protection. me and the Ghoulies are prepared for a modest price." Penny states. "Protection from you?" Veronica asks. "You got a nice place up here. And I'm sure it's even better down there in your speakeasy. I'd hate for something to happen to it. I'll let you chew on my offer. See ya Veronica." Penny says walking out. Veronica takes a deep breath

Meanwhile at Juvenile Detention
"Andrews. Meet the team." The guard says pushing into the yard. Archie had agreed to go in the pit. To fight. "My name's baby teeth. I may not look like much but I leave a mark. That's thumper, and Peter." Baby teeth says pointing around. "Archie" he replies. "You better start hitting this bag, Archie, before the captain comes over" baby teeth states. Archie hits the bag. "Rules of the fight: bare knuckles til knockout. The warden sell tickets. The guards place bets. Everyone profits...except us. You get a few perks of we win though." Baby tooth says. "What happened to mad dog?" Archie asks. Baby tooth was about to tell him when the guard bangs his battoon on the wall. "Quit the chatter." He says. "I think it's best if you don't ask too many questions." Baby tooth states. Archie goes back to punching the bag.

You are in the lounge getting chips when Veronica walks in. "Just the lady's I was looking for! President Blossom, First lady Topaz. I need your help spreading a good word about my speakeasy." Veronica states. Toni an Cheryl are cuddled up on a chair. "Go on." Cheryl states. "In exchange for promoting La Bonne Nuit, i'm offering you no cover and free drinks all night" Veronica says. "me too?" You ask. "No.." Veronica says. "Fine, be a bitch then." You say walking out.
