(It's a very genuine question, even if sincerity doesn't translate well through text.
Potentially dangerous is a very calm way of putting it. Eddie stares at the text, and frankly, he's only just started to talk about this more actively with people here. But even if he hadn't, Chara was a child. Which meant that Chara was in far more danger than the adults aboard the ship.)
Children will start to die. Or go missing. Not just one or two. But a lot.
(That's really the only warning sign of It being here.)
Adults don't seem to notice It as much. Or ever. I don't know. It looks like a clown most of the time, but that can change if you're afraid of something It can use. It sometimes smelled like popcorn or you could hear carnival music but everything would
be so heavy
(Eddie is. Really glad Richie is there with him just then in that room. He wasn't good at talking about this, not at all, not in detail particularly. It might have been okay if he'd been with Chara in person, would have felt better with Chara in particular since Chara registers in his mind as safe-good, but he wasn't, so instead, he winds up pressing into Richie, trying hard not to think too explicitly about it, but it can't be helped. He can still see the leper's face, can smell its rot with the weird popcorny hints just beneath.)
