Bishop

There's a man in one of the bunks who was absolutely not there before. He looks (and smells) like he just rolled out of the sewers. His jeans, t-shirt and hoodie are covered in an array of multicolored substances. His left cheek is bandaged in a very soiled gauze patch. Needless to say... He looks worse for wear.

He sits bolt upright with a terrified gasp. "Richie!" His eyes wide with fright, he looks around. "Whaaaaat the fuck?" Inexplicably, he knows where he is and what he's doing there, but that doesn't make him feel any better. He was in the cavern, saving Richie and something... Something was wrong. He makes a face as he reached back to scratch a weird itch in the middle of his back. Alright. He's not going to get any answers sitting in bed.

He gets up and moves to the door, peeking out. It's going to take him a while to find the way out of the ship, especially considering the tightness in his chest. He wasn't claustrophobic usually, but he had to get some air. He can be found wandering aimlessly around the ship, looking confused and slightly panicked.

Outside the ship

When he finally stumbles outside, he takes a few deep breaths. "Ohthankfuck." Leaning forward, he braces his hands on his legs and tries to get his breathing back to normal. Once he feels sufficiently calm, he takes a deep breath and straightens.

Then he sees his first alien and that goes out the fucking window. Hello Coruscant. There's a human in the space port alternating between screaming in terror and laughing awkwardly as he tries to figure out if he's really hallucinating and having an anneurism at the same time.

"That did seem to be a weird obsession you guys had back then," Kyle concedes. "Was your mom super religious, or what?"

[beepbeepmotherfucker]

He makes a face, rubbing the back of his head. "Not religious, no. But she was crazy protective. It was... Really bad, actually. She used to say I was sick to make me stay home."

[kyley_b]

"I'm sorry," Kyle says with genuine sympathy. "My mom is real protective, too. Not quite that bad, but it could be pretty intense.

"Is she still around?"

[beepbeepmotherfucker]

He gives Kyle a shrug and a tight-lipped smile. "I forgot how bad it used to be until recently, actually. So that's something, I guess."

He shakes his head at the question. "No. She, uh, she died a while ago." Wow, that's a downer. He scoffs a laugh, "Hey, though I guess that means our moms can't exchange notes on hwo to fuck with us, right?" Awkward joke is awkward. Richie is the funny one, okay.

"How did you forget?" Kyle asked with a confused frown. That seems like the sort of thing a person is liable to remember.

"Oh, dude, I'm sorry." As a total momma's boy, he means the condolence. Still, he smiles at Eddie's weak attempt at humour. "Heh, yeah. They could have had a Guilt Trip Olympics."

"I think it had something to do with Pennywise... that clown. Once you leave town you kind of forget all about everything."

He gives Kyle a thankful smile. He appreciates it. "As dumb as it sounds, it's kind of nice to know that I'm not the only one who had a fucked up protective Mom."

[kyley_b]

"Huh." Kyle thinks about that. "Yeah. They say some people repress bad memories, maybe the clown just somehow triggers that process, I dunno."

He grins back. "Yeah. It really is."

[beepbeepmotherfucker]

"I don't fucking know, man. I haven't really had time to think about it. All this shit kind of just came back to me in the past day."

Yeah... it's just been a day. Fuck this noise.
