Well we're all in the mood for a melody

Most things haven’t changed. 

Right. I guess that’s one plus side to look to. I’ll try to keep that in mind in the future. 

It was pretty normal up until he said to stick around to find out what else he’s got in store and that he was gonna kill me. That was kind of a bummer.

Yikes. Okay fine, allegations dropped until further investigations. And I owe you an apology. As well as a reassurance that you probably have nothing to worry about.

Is there a reason you’re being suspicious about Archie? From what I’ve heard, they seem to be able to take care of themselves. Krav Maga? Is that what we’d be doing? Or am I just blurting out words to make you think I know a thing or two? The world may never know.

I have mine, yes. In due time you might hear why. From what I’ve seen they definitely are. Krav Maga is definitely a thing. I don’t know where we’d find Krav Maga classes here in tiny ol’ Riverdale, but I’m sure they’re locatable. And I’m completely down to do it. 

Well that…isn’t comforting.  I’m going with my idea.

Now isn’t a time for being comforting. Now is a time for being honest. But fine, stay in the dark about it all. 

You’re smarter than I gave you credit for, initially, despite your choice in nickname.

Luxurious. Enviable. Anything along those lines.

Yea well, you’re not the first person to underestimate me. And hey, I’m content with my nickname. Is there really anything wrong with that?

You’re fine Jug, giving people your opinions about something like this is perfectly reasonable and you may even stumble across someone who has additional information. Besides, it wouldn’t be normal if you weren’t voicing your theories. Oh hell no, if I hear of anything else I may just book it to California or some other relatively safe and well-known city. Do you think there’s any possibility that this texter is really the killer? That maybe this isn’t a prank but a real psycho who’s out to get us?…Nah, alright, I’m sticking to your explanation. Thanks, I appreciate it.

That’s a good point. You know, Josie, you’d make a remarkable sleuth. Smart, confident, always thinking outside the box. Plus you made too good points in a row, because what is a Jughead with out his own thoughts and opinions? Simply just a fraud. Aw come on now. What good is running away from our problems? You know, other than the actual definite promise of survival. There’s a slim chance, yes. Considering there is someone out there who did kill Jason. And killers tend to be sadistic enough where I wouldn’t put something like this past them. Anytime! 

Nobody ever thinks any website they go to is going to mess their computer up, but they would be wrong.  You know you could have just asked me instead of putting your computer through this type of abuse.  I mean I could have told you that.  You should never just assume a link is safe, especially if it’s boasting free things.  Yes, I can fix it.

I considered it. But then there was this whole inner battle with myself about being independent and not bothering you since you were probably already busy with all things tech related. However, yes, lesson learned. Next time I’ll leave this kind of thing up to you, Foster. Thank you! You’re a blessing. Did I ever tell you how much of a blessing you are?

It says nothing about me other than I want to know who’s behind these texts. Obviously, they’re too much of a coward to reveal themselves so might as well expose them, right? Make it quick.

And see, here I would have said it made you slightly narcissistic and a tad bit violent. But whatever, tomato tomatto. Oh yea no, I totally agree with you there. But I don’t take orders from you, big guy. I’ll do it at whatever speed I feel necessary.

You’re not wrong about that. I’ll obviously take Betty and Brooke. You can have whoever else you want. It’s the easiest way to stop an attacker, without doing anything borderline illegal. I should learn some actual self-defense, though. You’ve only known me for a couple of weeks, but you already realize my potential. Thank you, Jughead.

Alright, deal. Betty and Brooke on your end and I’ll take Archie, Audrey, and Noah. Though I doubt they’ll need my help much. You know, that’s a very good point. I’d say I should get me one of those, but I should probably learn to survive without it. We should learn together, that could be interesting. I guess you could say I’m good at reading people. You’re more than welcome, V.

I knew it. You only use me for my car. You’re just lucky I’m shallow enough to let it slide. Tell me about it though. How you life with him, the world may never know.

I use you for a lot more, Audrey. I promise it’s not just the car... kidding though, I hope you know that. I think my resilience, patience, and love for the kid really help play into it. 

True; I think there are some boundaries that he definitely wouldn’t cross, and creating a spectacle out of someone’s death is likely one of them. So I’ve officially run out of suspects as to who this person could be. First though, meaning someone is going to die second? I don’t think this town can take another murder, not to mention the idea makes me want to never leave my house again. I appreciate your assurance though, and I’m gonna do my best to believe you. You are? Fantastic. Yes, please keep me updated. I’ll try, but…easier said than done. You’re right though, they’re likely just empty threats.

Well, at least that makes one of us. I’m back and forth with my theories, but I guess I should start actually exploring them than yelling them around tumblr for people to hear. Hopefully this town won’t have to go through another one. And Jason will be a one time thing that this person is using to frighten us all. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if that is exactly what this is. You getting freaked out by it is his aim, nothing else. Of course, Jos. Anytime. Updated you shall be, you’ll even be the first I call with info, I promise.

Why am I being lumped with Reggie? I’m my own person. Well, I’ve been getting the texts too and I’m nowhere lame enough to text myself. Plus, that creep was talking about stabbing me in the chest with a hook and The Jakester would never talk about harming this Grade-A bod, even as a joke. 

I’m going to over look the fact that you just called yourself the Jakester so I can get to what’s important. You’ve been getting texts too? What do they say? 

Just find this coward. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll ask the rest of the basketball team to keep their hands off you. That should be less of your problem.

I mean generally, you’re bribing me with the idea of having your friends act like decent human beings. So what does that really say about you, Belmont? But yea yea, we’re working on it. 

It seems like Reggie is our main suspect then, since Jake made a public statement that it’s not him. And I think Moose would only do it if he’s with Reggie. He’s soft hearted, but he’s never been one to stand up to Reggie. Already done. Well then I’m sure it’s Reggie. He makes so many movie references during a school day, I’m sure he just wants to scare and one up people.

Seems so. I’d like to see the halfwit try to defend himself too. And, to reggie’s defense, Jake’s public statement proves nothing. If anything, it furthers my argument because that’s exactly what the texter would do. Yea, you got a good point. For a Moose, he’s yet to learn how to utilize his backbone. Good, I’m glad. Last thing we need is you getting harassed by one of the jocks. Yea probably. He’ll probably get bored with it soon enough. 

Well believe it or not, your whole dark-lonely-boy-aesthetic is pretty bothersome. Trying to put something together? Whatever, Sherlock. I don’t care. Just do it somewhere else.

Trust me, people think the same about your flaming-bitch aesthetic you got going on for yourself. Yea, put something together. As in figure out what the hell happened to your brother. But fine, if you don’t want to avenge him and let me do what I need to, then I can totally go.
