        ❝It seems as if your LAWYERS just might not be that competent,❞ Veronica observes, only sparing a moment to wonder where Jughead had even FOUND the so-called defence attorneys before turning her attention back to the matter at hand. Fingertips lift to rub at her temple, and she adjusts her grip on her mobile before continuing to speak. ❝I have CONNECTIONS in New York, but... It doesn’t seem like it’d be the best idea to bring MORE of daddy’s associates into town.❞ Especially now that the clock is steadily t i c k i n g down to Hiram’s arrival. Each time she allows herself to think about it, a particularly uncomfortable LUMP surfaces in her throat, and limits her capacity to breathe for a moment.

        ❝I’m sorry. I just-- how did everything c h a n g e so fast?❞ Dynamics were SHIFTING in Riverdale, people were evolving, and Veronica almost feels as if she’s watching a slow motion train wreck all over again.❝Anyway-- how is he? Tell him not to lose hope.❞

『 week 1 immunity challenge with @joneshead. 』

        ❝SHORTCUT through the trees, around the long way on the beach, or over the hill,❞ Veronica repeats, lip twisting downwards in dismay. She isn’t all too sure of what kind of challenge she’d been expecting, after all, but a test of SPEED-- while tied to JUGHEAD JONES, no less-- doesn’t exactly sound like the most pleasant of tasks. Especially when he a l r e a d y seems to be teetering on the verge of a complaint. After the release of a short exhale, she’s quick to cut him off.

          ❝The beach seems to be the most UNREALISTIC option, and I’m not going to risk climbing ANYTHING while I’m tied to you. So-- trees it is.❞ She laces their fingers together, ready to DRAG him through the clustering of trees if necessary, and allows her gaze to linger on the forest for a moment longer before finally glancing towards her partner. ❝Don’t let me DOWN, Jones.❞ The signal goes, and Veronica RUNS.
