( ooc; set before all the event stuff because life has been a hell prison for me, sob. )

∘ PUBLIC:

( Everything begins with a shake before one equally shaky (and somewhat wheezy) sounding man appears on screen. Considering Eddie literally met a handful of people while spitting blood everything― this is something of an improvement! )

Uh, hey― my name is Eddie. I'm new here, sorta. Someone told― well, I sort of figured out based on reactions that I was here before. I don't remember this, uh― this place or any of you aside from my one friend from home. I'm sorry about that if you knew me or, you know, I spit blood on your shoes earlier at the bar.

( There is another wheezy sound as if he was close to coughing but manages to reign it in with another harsh swallow. )

If there's anything you think I should know then feel free to let me know and―

( And with that the picture shakes as his device falls to the ground, bouncing before hands appear and Eddie curses. )

This has got to be some fucked up clown shit― ( And the video cuts. )

∘ PRIVATE TO RICHIE:

Please tell me you're still around.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

( There is only the smallest amount of shock as Richie strides forward and pulls himself into a hug. For a moment, Eddie can only stare of Rich's shoulder before breathing out and relaxing noticeably. It gives him a moment to just calm down, hand squeezing a fistful of Richie's shirt before they both lean back.

Again there is a moment of surprise as his friend takes his chin, tilting it just enough that he could get a look at the wound on his cheek and ending with him ultimately frowning. )

Still, I'm glad you're here. ( He murmurs honestly. ) N-no, no hospitals. I think I'll be fine but I wouldn't say no to something to eat or even something to drink. Definitely something to drink, I think.

[Richie knows the best thing would be to take him to the bar or maybe to one of the housing areas. Still, he's greedy right now and just wants Eddie to himself. ]

C'mon. I settled down in my ship. There's not great food there but I have some stuff ferreted away from parties and the like. Plus there are some drinks and...yeah.

[He holds onto Eddie's sleeve and smiles. He can't help it.]

There's some fruit and stuff around here that's pretty fun, too. Red fruit that makes you drunk. Need fifteen of those?

( He breathes out a sigh, holding Richie's own sleeve and finally offering a soft smile. )

Yeah, yeah— that sounds good. I just don't wanna be on my own right now.

( In turn, Eddie can't help smiling in turn at his friend. )

Why the fuck not? You gonna get drunk off space fruit with me?

[ Richie smirks and wraps an arm around Eddie's neck to yank him in and noogie his head. ]

You bet your tiny ass, dude. C'mon.

[ He starts leading Eddie away with a smile. ]

So. I think the plan should be: get drunk, get drunker, pass out, day drink a little for the hangover, and then figure out what the fuck to do next. Like it?

( Eddie is immediately hissing not unlike a feral cat when Richie pulls him in for a noogie. Quickly he raises his hand, pressing them against his friend's chest and pushing him away with a grumble, eyebrows furrowing together. )

I'm not tiny you piece of Bigfoot-looking trash.

( Still he follows close, reaching out to take hold of Richie's sleeve and looking up at his friend as he catches up. )

God, please, I think that sounds exactly what I need after everything.

[Richie looks down at the hand on his sleeve and tries very hard not to smile too wide. Having Eddie close and holding onto him? It's nice. Even if it's not the same as what they had before, it's nice.]

Alright. We're gonna go get some red fruit juice in ya and by the time you wake back up again, things will be looking better. You'll see.

[He grins over at him and nudges him with his shoulder.]

But you're okay, right? Outside of... you know. The kidnapping and fucked up shit here. The rest of it? You're alright?

Oh, yeah— you think so? Maybe I should have taken up drinking a long time ago if that was the case.

( He looks up at Richie at the nudge, blinking once and smiling faintly but its clear that Eddie has a lot of his mind given how hard it is for him to manage that much. )

I think so or I think I will be anyway. I'm just glad you're here, Rich. I don't think I could have managed this much without you.

[Richie knows that smile and knows how anemic it is. He reaches a hand across himself to give Eddie's shoulder a squeeze.]

Yeah. Well, I gotta say, I don't think I would be doing so well without you here, either. You were here when I arrived and...when you were gone those few days, I definitely wasn't doing so hot. So let's just... Agree to stick around for each other?

[A useless agreement since they have no say in it, but still...]

( He can't help tilting his head as Richie squeezes his shoulder, Eddie sighing slightly but ultimately offering another smile. )

Ye-yeah, I'll try my best to stick around for you. I promise, Rich.

( He chuckles again, nudging their shoulders together. )

Come on, dude. Let's go get shit faced.
