[Private - Jughead Jones youngserpent]

You better get your ass home right now boy and Archie better be with you. I'm giving you boys half an hour before I come looking.

[Edited well past the expiry of his deadline]

You are making it worse for yourself, boy. Fred and I have already decided it's time to put some space between you boys for awhile.

[Private - Fred Andrews honoraryserpent | FP Jones - retiredking | Alice Cooper - nextbrickithrow]

The boys are playing that damn game.

[Jughead wanted to tell his old man to sit down and stop pacing. His dad was making him dizzy doing that and was bound to put a hole in the floor.

As for leaving it alone, that wasn't bound to happen. Not when he wanted to get more into the game, to ascend to the next level.]

We don't know who or what killed my classmates, dad. That game hasn't done anything. People have done things, but I don't believe it's the game.

[He's quiet for a moment.]

I don't have the game.

[Fred narrows his eyes on Jughead then on his own boy.]

It's not just a game, Archie. People have died because of it. FP's right, it gets into your head. It makes you do things that you wouldn't do. Our own principal was died because of this damn game.

[He's still not sure, himself, who orchestrated the Ascension party.]

[It's a good thing that Jughead didn't tell FP to sit down. Likely the only person FP would allow to tell him that right now was Fred. Outside of Alice, Fred was the only other person who can keep FP's temper in check....most of the time, anyways.]

I know good and well what killed your classmates Jughead. That damn game did it. [He didn't know exactly how but he wasn't going to let those boys sitting in front of him find out. He had to face the reality of losing his son many times and he knew that the game had the power to be what did his boy in.

At Jughead's denial, FP turned, his eyes locked on his son. He could tell that Jughead was lying. The boy needed to work on his poker face better.] Bullshit. Don't you lie to me boy! I know you have it! [He turned to Archie.] Where is it boy?

[Archie startled when FP addressed him, looking between his dad and FP. He knew that Jughead had some pieces of the game in his bag but he wasn't about to rat his friend out.] I don't know where the game is! We don't have it!

[FP knew that there was a possibility that Archie didn't know where the game was but he suspected he was just covering for his best friend.] Give me your bag, boy. [He'd tear the bag apart and if he didn't find the pieces there, he'd toss the boys' room.]

[Jughead glares slightly at his dad when he mentions that he knows what killed his classmates.]

No, dad, you don't know what killed them. It's not like they carved that shit into themselves!

[He clenches his jaw when his dad starts interrogating Archie. It's not like his best friend would know where anything was at, not unless it was in their room.

Fred raises a brow when his boy says that they don't have it. But notices how Jughead was protecting his bag too.]

You both need to work on your lying. You don't do it that well.

That's the problem, son! Do you think your classmates would have done that on their own? Or drank from a cup mixed with cyanide if they were in their right minds? Something, someone involved in the game is the cause of it!

[FP's patience wore thin when Jughead didn't hand his bag over and Fred called the boys out on their poor lying skills.]

Fine. I'll start with your room. Fred you can help with Archie's side. [FP glared at the boys before storming up the stairs to their room.]

[Archie was out of his spot on the couch when FP left for their room.] Dad! FP! Stop! We don't have the game!

	Exactly. SOMEONE. Not the game itself. [His eyes widen a bit when his dad starts upstairs, Fred not that far behind him. It has him up out of his seat in an instant.] Dad! Fred! [Fred gives a nod before heading up the stairs towards the boys' room. It didn't matter what the boys protested over, it was still going to happen.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[FP entered the boys' bedroom and went straight for Jughead's side of the room. He tossed the mattress to see if anything was underneath it, looked under the bed before going to the dresser. Opening drawers, he emptied the contents of the drawers onto the ground. He wasn't planning on leaving anything unchecked but he figured he'd give his boy another opportunity to fess up.]

Tell me where the game is. There is going to be hell to pay if we find any part of the game in this room so you might as well tell me.

[It did not escape FP's notice that Jughead's bag was left unattended downstairs. After he finished with their room, he would be tearing that bag apart and confiscating the laptop.]

[To be honest? Jughead's kind of forgotten about the damn messenger bag. Especially when his old man was heading straight up to their room.

A room that was being turned into a complete and total mess. This was just... it was messed up. Even more so when he sees Fred cross over to Archie's side of the room, tossing the mattress and looking under the bed, through the dresser. All the contents ending up on the floor.]

I've got nothing to tell you.

[It's said through a clenched jaw even as Fred moves over to start on the nightstand.]

[Archie couldn't believe that his dad and FP were going through their stuff and making the mess that they were. He was fairly confident that they would not find the pieces of the game that they had hidden in their room as their fathers were looking in the wrong places, that is until FP headed to the closet and Fred to the nightstand.]

You guys need to stop! You're not going to find anything!

[FP didn't expect that Jughead was going to give up the location of the game pieces so the search continued. FP moved to the closet, rooting through the clothes and all of the contents. He pulled a shoebox down from the shelf and the lid slid right off, revealing one of the two chalices. Holding it up to his son, he glared at him.]

You boys want to try again? I thought you told me that you don't have the game.

[He watches as his dad and Fred just start tossing everything. The prince is pretty damn sure that him and his best friend were the ones that were going to end up cleaning the room.

When his dad heads to the closet and Fred to the nightstand, his blood runs cold. Shit... He'd had that as far back in the damn closet as possible too.

When Fred dumps out the contents of the nightstand he narrows his eyes on the boys, picking up the second chalice.]

Won't find anything huh?

[FP glanced over to Fred when he located the second chalice and then back to the boys, who looked like they were a flight risk at the moment. FP wasn't worried about it. The Serpents outside would drag the wayward teens back inside if they tried to flee.]

Where's the rest of the pieces, boy? Don't give me some bullshit story that you don't have them.

[Archie paled when his dad found the chalice. He wanted to grab Jughead and run. Their dad's had a mess to navigate which would give them enough time to get to the front door. The only thing that was keeping Archie where he was was the fact that running would likely make this situation 100 times worse for them.]

We don't have anymore pieces to the game! Right Jughead?

	[He wanted to just run downstairs, wanted to get the hell out of here. Out of that damn room where his dad and Fred were. He crosses his arms over his chest and shakes his head.] We don't have anymore, dad! You've found everything that we've got. [Fred raises a brow at that before shaking his head.] I don't believe you boys. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[FP didn't believe the boys either and he knew the second thing that he needed to tear apart was sitting unattended downstairs. FP stormed from the room and passed the boys, the chalice still in his hands. He went down to the living room and grabbed Jughead's messenger bag. He opened it, removing the laptop from the bag and then started to rifle through the contents of Jughead's bag. The laptop he would be keeping.]

Boy, you're grounded for the unforseeable future or until you bring me the rest of the game pieces. You will go to school and then come home. You won't be seeing your laptop for a long time either. I suggest taking more paper with you to school tomorrow.

[It's almost like a punch to the gut when he realizes what the hell his dad was going after now. We're sure that FP wasn't going to find anything at first, mainly the laptop and school work.

If he's really paying attention to the bag though he'd find a hidden seam that held the rest of the game. Or, at least, the dice and figures.]

I need my laptop for school, dad!

[He'd followed them down and sees the look on Fred's face too, feeling that knife twist a bit deeper.]

That goes for you too, Archibald. And whatever else FP decides to do with you boys.

[FP had the contents of the bag dumped on the table. He didn't see the game pieces amongst the contents but when he put his hand in the bag, he felt something strange along the seam. Investigating further, he found an opening and out fell most of game's pieces. FP glanced at his son with an eyebrow raised.]

Boy, now will be the time to tell me where the rest of the pieces are or if this is all you have.

In terms of needing your laptop for school, I will talk to your teachers. You will be using pen and paper for a very long time.

On top of your grounding, you will do all the household chores. It's up to the girls whether you do their laundry. You will also wash mine, yours and Fred's bikes and anyone else who may want their bike washed.

I also want you to write a ten page essay back and front about how dangerous it is to even think of playing the game and how you won't defy me again.

You will also write "I will not play a game that could kill me" 100 times.

[Archie's jaw dropped a little as FP handed down their grounding and his dad went along with it. When FP kept adding to their sentence, Archie looked at his dad.]

I have to do all of that too? Dad! That's so unfair! We didn't even play the damn game!

[He hated that his dad had found the other pieces that he'd had. Though, when his dad starts going on about what he had to do while being grounded, his eyes widen a bit. He clenches his jaw slightly.]

That's all I have, dad.

[Whether his old man believed him or not was a whole other story.]

Dad! I am not touching anyone's bike. You don't touch another person's bike anymore than you do their clothing.

[Fred raises a brow at that but crosses his arms and looks over at Archie.]

You have to do all of that too, Archie. Now the both of you need to stop arguing. You've got a room to clean up before getting started on everything else.

[FP wasn't sure he believed the boy but the pieces that he had found won't exist much longer.] These pieces will be destroyed. Nobody is going to be able to play the game again.

[His eyes narrowed on his boy at his protests.] You will, Jughead. Both of you boys will. I give you permission to touch my bike to wash it as will Fred, I'm sure. [FP glanced over at his friend. He didn't think Fred would have an issue with the boys washing his bike.]

[Archie wasn't happy about being grounded and all of the other stuff that FP had added onto their punishment. It seemed steep but he knew that arguing would probably be met with more added onto their punishment so maybe it'd be best if they stopped while they weren't ahead. He had to just get Jughead to see reason.]

Come on Jughead. Let's go put our room back together. [They could commiserate together about how unreasonable their dads were once they were out of earshot of their fathers.]

[Jughead clenches his jaw when his dad goes on to say that they'd be cleaning the bikes. Bikes were a... well, the lively hood of a lot of the Serpents. An extension of them. Though when he gets a nod from Fred on the fact that the boys had permission, it cemented it. Even if he didn't want it cemented.

There's a lot more that he wanted to say because all of this shit was absurd, but he had Archie trying to get him to leave well enough alone.]

Fine.

[Though, he planned to ignore the jab about the game being destroyed. What his dad didn't know wouldn't hurt him.]
