The year is 2018 and the Red Scare is alive and kicking. Worlds collide as we're brought here under mysterious circumstances, given gifts we couldn't dream to prepare for. Trapped without hope for escape we ask ourselves - will we ever see our homes again? Our loved ones? Will we embrace our new lives and is it a question of when - not if - that these powers turn on us? So many questions, and yet the biggest mystery is something else entirely.

Best burger joint. Give me your suggestions. Bonus points for cheap menus.

[burger_king]

Seriously.

Nice to meet you, Beth.

[littlemissfutility]

is that your real name or a nickname??????



sorry

i've just never met someone who actually WANTS to be called jughead before

[burger_king]

It's what people call me. No one uses my legal name, not even my parents.

My little sister's called Jellybean. Only it's JB now, she thinks it sounds cooler.

[littlemissfutility]

jellybean??????
okay jughead doesn't sound so bad anymore
so are you looking for a new job???

[burger_king]

[ Hey don't insult his family and their creative and wonderful names!! ]

Yeah, I guess. Keeping an eye out in any case.

What did they give you?

[littlemissfutility]

[these are the kinds of names your parents call you when you're four!!!! they aren't real names!!!!!!]

good luck

i sing jingles for ads, it's pretty fun
i do stuff on bluetube on the side

[burger_king]

[ It's real to him! ]

That's cool. I've never met anyone who does jingles before.

What's your channel called?

[littlemissfutility]

[burger_king]

I don't, but my best friend is really into music. Archie Andrews - do you know him?

[ Little does Jughead know that they missed each other. ]

[littlemissfutility]

if it isn't i don't know him

[burger_king]

idk I haven't seen him here yet. Maybe?

Red hair, good at football.

[littlemissfutility]

dang, different guy
the other one's like 30, i guess it'd be kind of weird if he was your bff
if you see him tell him i need people for jam sessions

[burger_king]

I will. I'm sure he'd appreciate that.

You know anyone here from home?

[littlemissfutility]

some people from home were here but it was before i showed up
do you have anybody else here???

[burger_king]

Yeah. My girlfriend, Betty.

And this other guy from our school, but he's an asshole.

[littlemissfutility]

oh i think i talked to her
she's nice, i hope she's doing okay
what's the asshole's name???

[burger_king]

She's the best.

Reggie Mantle.

[littlemissfutility]

haven't met him
how long have you been dating??? :o)

[burger_king]

Good. Stay away from him.

Four months, give or take. We've been friends since we were kids.

[littlemissfutility]

maybe
how much of an asshole are we talking about???
that's really sweet
i'm glad you can be together again

[burger_king]

The biggest. He's always trying to pick a fight, I don't know what his deal is.

[littlemissfutility]

he DOES sound like kind of a jerk
thanks for telling me

[burger_king]

Sure thing. We have to look out for each other.

[ Anything to make Reggie's life a little bit harder. ]
