Things are going to be very strange for a while for us Brits. My thought are with the royal family and all of us during this strange time- not only having to deal with the rising costs of living, a new PM, but now having a King. I hope HM Queen Elizabeth II rests in peace, she will forever be a huge part of our history.

I wasn't sure how I was going to do this one, so it's kinda just a short one
I walk the halls of Riverdale High noticing everyone has a Griffins and Gargoyle book in their hand. I walk over to Sweet Pea's locker where he is getting out some books "Hey" "Hey baby. So Fangs, Toni and I were going to go and play G&G later. You in?" "Errm sure, why not" I smile at him. We head over to English class where Veronica's mum is, "What's she doing here?" I turn to look at my boyfriend who shrugs his shoulders. We walk in and sit at our desks "Ok, good morning everyone. I'm here to make an announcement, 2 students have taken their lives. A 3rd tried. The common thread linking these tragedies: all 3 victims were playing the game known as Griffins and Gargoyles" Mrs Lodge is stood behind our teachers desk "Wait so your admitting the game killed Dilton and Ben?" "Yes Mr Jones" "But where did G&G come from? where did Ben and Dilton even get it?" Betty now asks "We still don't have many answers but from the little we do know about it, the game seems targeted at impressionable developing minds. Mainly teens like yourselves" Mrs Lodge walks around the desk now leaning on it "Challenge accepted" Reggie says I lift my hand up and slap him "Respect to the dead but some among of our flock are shepherds not sheep" Cheryl sneers "The games quests and role playing scenarios are specifically designed to foster delusion paranoia and ultimately violence. As mayor I'm officially banning Griffins and Gargoyles. Mrs Burble is gonna be holding extended office hours and I've set up a 24 hour crisis hotline overseen by Kevin Keller" I look at Pea who looks annoyed "The people who are dying are just taking it to far. You can't just ban the whole game" "I can and I have Mr Miller. As a parent I am imploring you stay away from this game and don't play it" After class we head over to Maths "I can't believe they're banning G&G" "Babe it's just a game" "So what are we means to do with ourselves now then after school?" Pea says frustrated. I stop him and lean up to him, having to stand on my tip toes "I can think of a few things we could do that will probably be a lot more fun" I whisper before kissing his lips. I pull back "Or we could go to the secret bunker and play" Pea smirks "The game just really isn't appealing to me" I sigh "What if we do both then. You come and play G&G, then we go home and play whatever you want" Pea is still smirking while holding my hips "Fine" I groan out.
That evening Jug, Fangs, Toni, Cheryl, Pea and I are all in the secret bunker playing G&G "You are imprisoned in the Gargoyle Kings fortress. Trapped in pens, you live in fear never knowing when his legion of Gargoyles will defend from the sky to feed" Jug reads off a piece of paper "but his guards are arrogant and you've been able to study their movements and you've planned an escape. Roll the dice to decide your fate" I roll the dice. Jug has a look then sits back "your mission was unsuccessful, everyone dies" "Ughh" I groan when I hear Betty's voice "Jug. What are you doing?" "Betty, all of this is making sense all of it is becoming clear" Jug says standing up "Jug"Betty says "The game the Gargoyle king. I'm on level 3. It's only a matter of time till I ascend and I get to meet him. Everyone go home" "Finally" I call out. I grab hold of Pea and start to drag him out of the bunker "my turn to have some fun"
