for @saibrina / a riverdale & caos hybrid
Jughead hadn’t been to Greendale since his youth. All he recalled was the bribe, truck and drugs that had he and Archie crossing town lines. That had been so long ago, so many years passed and yet were any of the lessons learned ? Could Jughead be certain he wouldn’t be pulled into something even heavier than the last, with ropes that could tie down not only his present, but his future as well ?
Jughead paused outside his truck, eyes casting upwards as he took in a house that looked like it held every ghoul and ghost in the state. He was here on a hunch knowing that the only funeral home in Greendale must have seen some interesting deaths, that the stories and rumors surrounding ANYTHING mysterious must have a grounding in truth. This family, the Spellmans, might be able to help him solve a mystery not only central to Jughead, but to Riverdale as well, because he’d been the one to see that mysterious alien like body. He’d been the one to also watch it go missing.
Who better to trust with brutal honesty than those in charge of the deceased ?
He made his way along the path and to the massive door, his eyes looking for any sign of a door bell or knocker that might assist him, but instead found himself intrigued by the darkness by the side of the house. He let himself be distracted for a moment and wandered his way to the side of the expansive deck, hands on the railing, leaning over to get a better look . . .
