Surprise, bitch. I lived.
(Have Eddie, flipping the camera off with his right hand aka his prosthetic.
Eddie looks different than the last time most people had seen him. For starters, he has a green undertone to his skin. For another, his tongue is completely black. Behind him is an empty room with gray floorboards and peeling green walls. It at least looks clean. There's a Gucci suitcase on its side, opened up, with clothes spilling over and across the floor. Another Gucci suitcase sits next to it, but it has been partially charred.
A dog is passed out and snoring rather loudly in the opened suitcase.
Despite his on-point meme drop, Eddie's delivery is completely and suspiciously blank. His gray eyes are flat, and his expression remains completely empty.)
Richie's here too. (As if on-demand, a massive fireball blast out from the doorway of a nearby room followed by some crashing and yelling. Eddie doesn't even bother to glance over his shoulder.)
We're settling in okay. We're in Lumenwood. I've got some of my supplies from Deerington but I've got a shitton of stuff I need to restock.
(Which was going to be such a drag.)
But for those on a need-to-know basis, I've already made some important notes on this place. Not that any of you give a shit, but if you do...I guess we were given journals for a reason. I suck at journaling though. Here's a uh --- transcipt? Is that what it's called? Whatever, I typed it up.
(He shrugs. The screen goes blank only to be followed up by some text that Eddie clearly wrote up ahead of time:)
IMPORTANT TRENCHNOTES SHIT STUFF?

IMPORTANT TRENCH
i dont know i dont normally do the note takin thing so feel grateful
1.)
our blood's fucking weird now but also no shit it's weird now is anyone surprised
give me your blood so i can figure it out. i studied hematology a LOT
last time i checked out my blood under a scope it was totally different than what it is now on a cellular level.
i actually tried to expose my blood to some bacteria and germs that would usually cause an infection and it was really weird? what look like my new white cells just immediately seemed to swallow up the bacteria and it was like it never existed at all
thats not to say you should run around and stab yourself with a rusty fork anytime soon
but it'd be cool if i could get more samples to see if this is just a Me thing or an Us thing
2.)
i spit on richie and we figured out that my spit can cause a numbing feeling. if you ever need to spit on you, let me know
it's probably gonna be useful if anyone gets injured
normally i would say don't let someone spit in your open wounds
but my spit is totally sanitary
i swear
(shut the hell up)
3.)
only 1/3rd of my closet made it here and no im not ready to talk about it. this place doesn't even have goddamn chanel
4.)
taylor swift still exists so we're gonna be okay

(He frowns, staring off into the void that destroyed his clothing.)
It's all so dark. And one-note. I need prints and florals and tailored fits. Not...sacks and robes.
Video
I will find us florals and tailored fits and colors OTHER than black, brown, and red or my name isn't Usagi Tsukino!
Video
(A RELIEF. Someone who understood.)
I know there's some wild shit. I saw a lady walking around with a weird bird cage thing going on in a gold dress. So it exists. It's just a matter of finding it.

Re: Video
(Wasn't that the fun part about cities? The diversity?)
That's actually pretty cool. I didn't look too much at the market. It felt kinda overwhelming.
(He was a small-town kid okay.)

Well, if you can handle me, you can handle the market. Come on, it'll be fun! Besides, lunch will be my treat! I've been trading like, some of the stuff I've made for food and clothes and weirdly it works?
Re: Video;
(Eddie actually has no idea.)
I haven't seen that yet. I haven't explored much outside of like the edges of the market and Lumenwood. That sounds kind of cool? There seem to be a lot of statues here.
(Which meant some sort of appreciation for art, right? Which meant somewhere someone had to care about fashion too.)
Yeah? I've been trading some stuff too. It's actually a lot simpler than money I think. We can get food and clothes, yeah. It'd be nice to feel normal for the first time in a while.

We'll find clothes that remembers the rainbow exists! And patterns! OH AND LACE OR SILK!
Re: Video
(He smiles, hesitant, but completely real. It's not like he was going to get less intimidated as the days wore on. Might as well dive in head first with a friend.)
I'm all about both. Okay. So - do you have one of those weird lamp things?

Re: Video;
(He says this with some fondness. They were creepy, but they were cuddly and sweet tempered.)
Good. We can travel through 'em.

Re: Video;
(Eddie says this like it's...the most normal thing ever.)

Re: Video;
(He's not even being nice to spare her the humiliation.)
I found out accidentally. I thought I died. Then I was just like oh, no, I woke up on the other side of the city. Took me a while to realize what even happened. I still don't really get it.

Re: Video;
(That's the vibe Eddie was getting anyway. He pauses, stares, and then:)
I have no idea, dude. I'm still really bad at talking to strangers, so. But I think it might just be us? Maybe has to do with our Sleeper blood?
