HEY GUYS i know I justttt started this blog but rather than go on a hiatus, I’m just going to delay getting things started here. My work has kicked into full gear and I’m about to have a busy couple of weeks. Since I have other blogs and this one hasn’t really been started yet, i’m just going to table it for a few weeks and re-kick off when I return. Thanks for following and understanding!

plotted for @departingsouls​

THE TOWN OF RIVERDALE. A hot spot for tattooed street gangs, high-ponyed cheerleaders, boys next door, and the kind of small town gossip that stays with a person for generations. To some, an American ideal. That is, if you can keep your nose clean and avoid the raging dumpster fire of tragedy that seems to roll through town faster than a first grade class’s head lice epidemic. For Veronica, it’s a prison. Although she’s probably not the only one. Every class or two someone slips through the cracks -- escapes, finds the wide open road and never looks back. Except instead of the wide open road it’s usually drugs, Provincetown Massachusetts, or a loft apartment with thirteen theater performers in New York City. Veronica Mars isn’t sure she’ll ever escape. It’s in the plan, of course. Somewhere in four years after high school and maybe college. If she can manage to leave her father on his own. If she can manage to wrap up the thirty million loose ends that hang around her like cob webs or the smell of three week old gym socks that hangs around the locker room. Ever present, misery inducing, impossible to escape. 

Those who don’t escape chasing dreams or a fetish too big to fit in their mother’s basements escape in a body bag. Like the Blossom boy and his float down river, like Lily and her untimely, young demise leaving her frozen in her impeccable DNA in a way she’s probably proud of. Like Duncan, who went out a tragic hero or Chic Cooper who escaped the chains that held him as one of Riverdale’s many deranged villains. 

Veronica takes all of it in from her spot at Pop’s. She’s not the usual inhabitant of this booth. On most days, it’s home to Betty Cooper, Archie Andrews, Veronica Lodge, and Jughead Jones; a perfect square of everything that makes Riverdale Riverdale. Today, they’re fractured. The whole town is. Tragedy does that. Even more when it effects kids. Veronica doesn’t feel as shaken by the shooter in the halls of Riverdale High School as some of the others seem to be. But that’s probably a question for a therapist that some day, maybe she’ll think about getting. Today, she sits in a booth that’s usually home for someone else and awaits the arrival of Betty Cooper. Betty Cooper who hadn’t looked her way in years, who probably didn’t consider herself part of the Riverdale status quo but always had been. Betty Cooper who had asked for a favor.  Favors are what Veronica’s good at. And with her mind racing to break apart the pieces of Duncan’s death that don’t fit, a favor is a welcome distraction. Even if the girl asking for it is the same girl whose brother had just killed her ex boyfriend. 

                     And how does that make you feel, Veronica? 

No therapy this time. Work to be done, damsels to meet in diner booths.

“Betty Cooper.” Her eyes lift from her phone when the girl she’s meeting finally makes her way to the table. Betty’s eyes are wider than usual and somehow her coat makes her shoulders look heavy. Veronica kicks her feet up across the booth, places them up on the opposite bench as she leans back against the one she sits in. Comfortable, casual in the face of death and deception. “You’re not even going to buy a girl fries first? God, I guess even Riverdale’s daughter loves a booty call..”
