Well, if it isn't my favorite financial adversary. To what do I owe the displeasure?
nothing much just checking out the place
Checking out the place, huh? Or perhaps you're searching for a new way to spend your ill-gotten gains? smirks
Smirks back that wouldn’t work Veronica, remember the deal I’m not really apart of this side of the town except sometimes when I come here.
Oh, I remember, Deodie. You think you're so high and mighty, above all this Riverdale drama. But we both know deep down, you crave the attention.
Maybe but one thing is for sure I will never be apart of the mean girls club like you and your friends.
leans in close, whispering Mean girls? Darling, we're not just mean. We're masters of manipulation. And you, my dear, are just a pawn in our game.
Nope, nope, nope I’m not anyone’s pawn! I’m my own boss whether you guys like it or not!
smirks, crosses her arms Is that right? Well, let's see how long you can keep up that delusion, Deodie. We'll be watching your every move.
I don’t think you guys would be able to fit all four of your heads under one microscope, Veronica.
laughs softly My, my, Deodie, aren't you feisty? But let me tell you something, darling.
leans in even closer, her voice dripping with honeyed venom We may not always be in the spotlight, but we always get what we want.
Not always. What about when Cheryl wins awards at the theater? That doesn’t happen too often.
narrows her eyes, her voice sharp Don't get too comfortable, Deodie. Our reign may not last forever, but for now, we hold all the cards.
The entertainment industry has been holding Cheryl’s cards since she was born.
smirks, takes a step back Well, isn't it refreshing to see someone actually challenging us? But let me remind you, Deodie, we don't tolerate defiance well.
You guys couldn’t handle being number two ever.
tilts her head, a sly smile playing on her lips You really think we're afraid of being number two?
No but you wouldn’t even know how to.
narrows her eyes, a fire burning in her gaze Oh, sweetheart, you have no idea what we're capable of.
Whatever, whatever keep thinking you guys have everything in control. See ya around Veronica.
watches Deodie walk away, a calculating smile on her face Oh, we'll see each other again, Deodie.
She walks outside where she meets her boyfriend Jason that’s always good to seeing you at your glamorous old house.
pulls out her phone, starts making a call It's time to gather our allies and show Deodie just how wrong she is.
As she was getting in the car Jason asked her who she was talking to on the phone before they left and Deodie said Veronica obviously they had something to do.
speaks into the phone Archie, Betty, Jughead, we need to meet. Deodie needs a little lesson in respect. We can't let her think she can challenge us. pauses Yes, I'll handle Cheryl. She'll be an asset in this. hangs up and smirks It's time to show Deodie who truly runs this town.
Deodie and Jason decide to get some dinner at Big Mo’s Italian Restaurant because their favorite date night place.
enters Big Mo's Italian Restaurant, scanning the room for Deodie and Jason There they are. approaches their table with a charming smile Mind if I join you?
sits down confidently So, Deodie, tell me, what makes you think you can challenge us? You seem to forget your place.
Like I said earlier whatever, Veronica. Your girls Cheryl Blossom gets awards while yours don’t and Cheryl is still being successful right now. Veronica scoffs at that comment and sees Jason look offended for her girlfriend.
narrows her eyes, leans forward Oh, really? Are you suggesting that Cheryl Blossom is more successful than us? laughs sarcastically
Well isn’t that obviously stupid
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Stupid, huh? Well, let's see if you can back up that claim, Deodie. Show me one piece of evidence, just one, that proves Cheryl Blossom is more successful than any of us. I bet you can't. smirks confidently
Pulls up a video on her phone from an award show and hands her phone over showing Cheryl winning a SAG Award which was won here in Riverdale by famous actress April May. Veronica gets upset seeing her phone being given to Deodie as Jason looks at her seeing her losing.
snatches the phone back angrily How dare you challenge us?! Do you think you can outshine us with some pathetic award? throws the phone onto the table We are the ones who truly run this town. You and Cheryl are just insignificant puppets dancing on our strings. stands up, glares at Deodie and Jason Consider this a warning. Cross us again, and you'll regret it. walks away, head held high
Deodie shows him the news article online about that same win and tells Jason that she knows he thought Veronica looked mad because she lost but in reality Veronica probably saw it coming.
paces back and forth in her room, deep in thought This challenge from Deodie... it's unexpected, but it also presents an opportunity. We need to remind everyone who's in charge here in Riverdale.
<Deodie receives threatening messages from unknown sources after confronting Veronica>
smirks Deodie, it seems you've finally realized the consequences of challenging us.
What consequences are you talking about Veronica?
leans in close, her voice low and menacing Oh, Deodie. I suggest you start taking your place in this town.
Fine then. Give me a task to prove myself.
grins slyly I have just the task for you, Deodie. You're going to infiltrate the rival gang and gather information for us. Can you handle that?
