Option A:
Uh.
Don't panic: possible livestock emergency.

One of the locals told me she left a hen on my porch. Guess what? Porch, no chicken.
So, you know.

If seen, do not engage. Report all chicken- and chicken-related activity.

[ ooc: Network/action, feel free to sight this chicken around town if you like! ]



Option B:
I heard some of you booze hounds were sniffin' around, so lemme save ya the trouble. My name's Majima, and I run the bar. The rules are don't be an asshole.

Here's a map. There's pool and darts. Got some smokes, too, but you better give me a real good reason why I should part with those.

ok 👌
i'll tell eddie and the others to look too if they're free

you live in the church?

[ someone has never seen inside and just assumes it's a church. ]

[justbeingknife]

Opinions differ, but to be real with ya: it's a bar, it's just called Church. Will painted the sign, which is why it actually looks nice.

Thanks for the assist, by the way. Don't think we've met before. I'm Majima.

[deadlight]

that's cool

[ she likes will, and it makes sense that he's an artist given what other things she knows about his personality. sensitive, quiet. ]

i think i know who you are

[ enough to know he's an adult she doesn't need to be afraid of. who deserves help with their problems even. ]

i'm beverly marsh
me and eddie are from the same hometown

[justbeingknife]

Well, that sounds ominous. But yeah, guess I do stick out in a crowd.

[ In fact, it was sort of hard not to -- the population of dudes with eyepatches had been on the rise, lately, but three was still not an awful lot. ]

So you're one of Eddie's pals! He talks about ya a lot.

Sounds like you guys really tore it up back home.

[deadlight]

eds and max talk about you too 👋

[ basically just admitting that she knows him through other kids having vouched for majima, so she might not recognize him right away, but the name's enough for now. ]

he told you about all that?

he's pretty much a hero

[justbeingknife]

Yeah? And now you're all movin' out to that Dutch Hill house, right? You guys're gonna be fielding a lotta donations.

[ Though he brought up the others often enough himself, it was kind of nice to know that they did the same. Friends were nice -- who'd have thought? ]

He is. And he's hilarious -- double menace.

[ In fact, that was one of the things that Majima found compelling about Eddie Kaspbrak. Didn't think he was brave, but turn around and he was out risking his neck or mouthing off a straight-up mobster. He had guts where it counted. ]

[deadlight]

yeah we are! 😄
i dunno about donations
it's weird so many people here care what happens 2 us

[ it is the strangest thing to witness adults not entirely caught up in their own issues. it almost makes her wish bill and the others were here to see it... ]

and yeah he's tiny but he's got a mouth on him

[justbeingknife]

Ya think? Eddie always says the same thing, like he can believe it, but then he kinda can't.

But I think most people wanna help, deep down.


Normal people, that is.

[ From what he'd heard of Derry, though, it was decidedly not normal. ]

Still can't believe I got bagged on by someone half my size. It's great.
