[ The video opens to an image of one Cheryl Blossom, looking particularly poised. She’s smiling at the camera--and it might be your imagination, but the grin seems as though it’s off, as though the wattage is a bit too bright to be genuine. Her lipstick is bright, too, an intense red that matches what you can see of the outfit that she’s wearing.

Oh, yeah, and there’s someone in the background, too. The camera seems to be angled to minimize them as much as possible, though. ]

Hello, superpowered citizenry from many worlds over. You may not know me, but I’m sure there will be whisperings regarding my arrival soon enough. I’m Cheryl Blossom.

[ She says this as though it explains everything.]

I’ll spare you the details of my powers and such, but rest assured, I’m here to make Heropa a much more interesting place. Starting with a little housewarming party--I’ll go ahead and write the address below, party people.

[ In the background an exasperated 'Cheryl' is voiced and a few moments later the camera is angled differently to show another person and not just one. Unlike Cheryl, Veronica's smile is a little warmer and less edged but she looks just as poised and put together. ]

Hello everyone, I'm Veronica Lodge and I have a few questions here. First, where are the places to see and been seen around here? The latter I hope to avoid as much as possible. Second, anyone have tips on winning the fight against humidity for your hair? This is a nightmare.

Lastly, the housewarming party is something we will be working on and more details will be soon. But I can say it will be really sweet.

If anyone needs a little pep in their life, let me know because a little bling can go a long way. Or if anyone needs any makeovers, we will be your girls. Isn't that right, Cheryl?

[ Cheryl rolls her eyes.]

It’s only my job, Veronica. I’m not an amateur.

[Because she just can't help herself.]

Sorry, sweeties. If you were thinking "not being seen" was an option, you will be... very disappointed. Especially for a pair like you.

We're all celebrities here.

I'm used to being known. Even if no one in this world seems to know moi, I'm hardly going to let down my family legacy. Besides, it will be fun to climb my way back up to household name.

And who are you, by the by?

Ronnie? [SORRY CHERYL... Archie is easily distracted. Give him a second.] I— when did you guys get here? [Wait, humidity...] Are you in Florida?

[Fuck her gently with a chainsaw.]

That depends on the city. De Chima's lousy with reporters whenever new imPorts come in, so maybe avoid that until you've settled in more. [Says the girl living in De Chima and wearing this jumper and blouse combo, with a hat to keep the worst of the sun out of her eyes.] As for fighting the humidity, just wear your hair up. Or get it as dry as possible before stepping out.

Karen DeSonne. First darling undead daughter of De Chima.

[She says it with some irony, but there maaaaaaay actually be a few billboards and buses with her picture on them in a cheerleading uniform, advertising the local football team.]

Ronnie? How many red guitars has Veronica attempted to give to you, Archibald?

[ SHE SEES HOW IT IS. ]

Yes, we are. I did say Heropa, after all.

Oh my god. Are you blind, or did you just get dressed in the dark? Or is it an uncanny amalgam of both?

[ She keeps grinning, sweetly. She can put her hair up, sure! Got any red scrunchies, Veronica? ]

[CHERYL YOU CAN'T JUST]

Sorry. [Wince....] Like, where though? Reggie's here too, but we're it. From Riverdale, I mean.

[Oh, god, it's Heather Chandler all over again. Will she never be free?

Never, says the girl herself, in the back of Veronica's head. Another part of Veronica wonders, darkly, where the red scrunchie is now. With Heather Duke, most likely. This girl would absolutely flatten her.]

Not blind, didn't get dressed in the dark, and believe it or not? Back in my time, this was cool. [In my time—Jesus Christ, she's sounding like her mom.]

Oh I love parties! But uh...how do you get rid of a hangover? Last time I felt like I was dying again. Wasn't fun.

[ Coiffed to perfection, these teenaged girls seemed to be. Something that an equally coiffed Bela can appreciate. ]

Your lipstick is fabulous, darling. You should tell me where you got it.

[ And, to not let Veronica feel left out. ]

Veronica, was it? I love what you're wearing.

[ if anyone knows how to fight humidity, it's raven reyes. just blow shit up, that tends to do the trick. but looking good has never been on the top of her list — though, she does wonder what kind of alcohol these two will be supplying. might be worth rsvping if it's anything like monty's moonshine. it might be worth telling her secret if it means she can get drunk on good shit. ]

[ she cocks her brow. ] And why will people be whispering about your arrival?

Undead, mmm?

[ Almost theatrically, Cheryl quirks an eyebrow. Still, hearing about someone being--well, undead? It does make her a little bit hopeful.

If any of this is real, after all. ]

Tell me. Assuming I've suspended my belief long enough to believe that you are, in fact, only among the fomerly living. Is this a common affliction here?

[ YES SHE CAN JUST ]

Well, that's more than I knew of this morning. Oh, Archie. Your denseness is only adorable when it's accompanied by your puppy-like wonder.

[ He's one of her only friends. ]

What supposedly superhuman powers did the Porter thrust upon you?

Back in your time, huh? Hilarious. What are you, fifteen? You can't be any older than moi.

In a sense. There are a lot of people here... who have been dead.... before, but none of them quite like me.

Maybe they ran out of heartbeats before I got here.

Seventeen. [Coming up on eighteen in August. Probably. Not really, it hasn't even been a full year yet.] I just skipped forward about thirty years when I got here.

[And somebody's gotta represent the 1980s.]

Hey, just a question, how are you going to make Heropa even more interesting than it already is?

[Probably largely because he just lets statements like that roll right off his back!! He doesn't even look offended tbh.]

I can't get hurt. [IF he's wearing his letterman jacket... minor details] And I can sense danger. What about you?

Oh, now this is rich-- you two are living together? Is that what's happening? So how long until we can expect to see a cat-fight then, huh?

[ His oh-so-helpful contribution here... but he's happy to see you girls, really. Probably. No... really. ]

Word of advice, though: if you want your party to be any good, it helps to actually know people. Because trust me, no one here's gonna care about who you were back in Riverdale.

[Despite the multitude of things that went wrong at the last party Gar went to, the possibility of another one so soon has him buzzing enthusiastically. Because he is a dumb boy. A dumb, dumb boy.]

That sounds awesome! Is this one, uh- at the last party, nobody checked I.D.

[His way of sheepishly asking a question without actually asking a question.]

Also, it's kinda hard to not be seen around here unless you just stay at home.

What kind of makeovers do you do?

[ Displeasure flickered across her face for a moment. ]

Simply because of the so-called abilities we have? Quaint. [ She paused for a moment. ] How long have you been here?

[ A bright smile filled Ronnie's face to see Archie. Finally, something good. ] Hey Archiekins. Not that long ago and yes we are.

[ Looking at the girl for a moment, Veronica nodded her head to herself. ] Speaking of makeovers. We can both help you if you would like. Spruce you up.

I tend to drink water along with what I'm drinking. Then, I don't really have hangovers. But otherwise, greasy food the morning after.
