video 02 | Alzheimer's Disease | Introducing the Losers

(It felt a little bit like a blessing. After losing his memories, getting them back, and going through that alone, Eddie had damn near broken himself down with how badly he had missed his friends. But then they showed up. Not all of them, but the three boys he had been the closest to for the longest, the kind of childhood friends that started out in the single digits. Eddie Kaspbrak was happy. Maybe not perfectly, but for the time being, they were each other's perfect distractions and it was good to have them around.

On top of that, Eddie wanted them to know everything about this place. Including, most importantly, the people who lived there. He could have dragged them from place to place to introduce them to everyone he has come to know and care about, but then he remembered how the device worked and realized how much faster it'd be if he just sent out a video introduction.

So here he was, turning on the video feed and smiling into the camera. Anyone who had seen him lately would have noticed the kid was a bit off, but not here. He might still have bags under his eyes, but there was a brightness in him that hadn't been present in nearly an entire month.)


Hi! It's Eddie. So I know I told some of you about my friends a little bit? And guess what! They're here. Not all of them, but my best buds are- like. Childhood best friends.

(Can you feel his excitement? Eddie is practically vibrating. He's sitting in his room currently, and all it takes is him removing the device entirely from his wrist and turning it around to show Richie Tozier sitting on the floor.)

This is Richie Tozier. He's probably like, my best best friend. You might also notice he has some striking similarities to a trash can.

(He whips the video back around and grimaces a little. Richie was already speaking up with 'Whatever, eds, it's trashcan, not trashcannot.' The quib comes as Eddie's already turned the camera away, and Richie doesn't bother waiting for Eddie to stop talking. Them talking over each other is nothing new, though. Eddie doesn't even hesitate before plunging on.)

Really though, I have to apologize on his behalf for anything stupid he says. And trust me, most of what he says is really stupid.

(And Eddie's up and rushing out of the room, jogging down the hall before bursting into the nearby room that Bill and Stan were sharing. The camera gets whipped around and focuses on Stan. Not looking so amused at the intrusion.)

This is Stan! He's um- the man with the plan, you know?

(Then just like that, he's pulling out of the room, and heading into the main area.

The video doesn't focus on it, but as Eddie slides it across the room, people might notice that the door heading out of their unit is covered in several words painted in black. A large Derry painted over the door, a long list of names down the back of the door, including the Losers' names themselves. And of course, the ominously crookedly written It at the bottom of the door. On the wall beside the door are other words, some sketches, one that almost even looks like a map of something with 'sewers' written over the top of it. But it's a brief passing, something that slides in and out of perspective like a passing thought.

Then Eddie's focusing on a new boy and zooms in on Bill Denbrough's face.)


And this is Bill. He's practically my brother. He is arguably the coolest of us all.

(At first, Bill looks rather grave for his age, waving at the camera for his introduction. But then Richie has to go and jump at Eddie's back, grabbing at one of his cheeks which automatically has Eddie shrieking on the other side of the camera, and at that, Bill starts to laugh. Richie's voice filters through, indistinguishable (probably) insults not easily heard between Bill's laughing and Eddie's whining.

Eddie barely gets the camera back around, his face flushed, and he gives a long exasperated sound. Richie's hand can be seen coming out and grabbing at Eddie's cheek. Again.)


So that's- oh my God, stop- my best friends. So say hi. As for us? Well...We got some uh- stuff to do.

(Is that a small pile of what looks like Kaittan fireworks in the background? Oh boy. Let's just hope those are actually just strange looking sticks.)

OOC | It's completely up to you how you want to interact with this! Feel free to talk to Eddie directly, or make a post directed to all the Losers that they can respond to via separate threads. It's a free for all sort of thing so do whatever.

Of course not.

Would you like to see a trick? [The camera shifts, screen going black for a few seconds as he sets it up a good distance away.

Nightcrawler steps all the way back and positions himself to where Stan (and the other boys, if they are watching) can see him completely. He shuffles back some, braces his feet then leaps forward, disappearing in a swirl of smoke and a bamf.

Not long after, he reappears on the feed, somersaulting into a sit right in front of the device, grinning with all the prideful cheekiness of a showman.]
That's a trick.

[ Stan just stares, looking vaguely mortified, confused and awed at the same time. ]

But...

[ He wants to insist it can't be real but he's in space. He doesn't knwo what real is anymore. ]

[personal profile] shadowblends 2017-12-05 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
[He can't help the slightest of snickers that slips free.]

I know. It's a lot to take in when you aren't used to idea of a mutant.

But I assure you, nothing about us is threatening. [Most of them, anyway.]

Oh.

[ He's going to need some time to get use to this. ]

[Kurt sits there in silence, popping up onto his toes, legs against his chest and both hands around his knees.

Then, after decent length of time, he finally pipes back up.]
Are you okay?

[personal profile] stantheman 2017-12-06 09:52 am (UTC)(link)
What?

[ He jerks out of his thoughtful state and then realizes he probably was being very rude. ]

Yes.

I'm sorry.
shadowblends: lookit this freaking dweeb (❧ playful)

[personal profile] shadowblends 2017-12-10 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
[He's been there before; it doesn't come off as rude to him, so much as Stan seems a bit dumbstruck. Nightcrawler is patient, much as he is kind.]

It's okay.

To be fair, I'm the only mutant here that looks like this.

[personal profile] stantheman 2017-12-11 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[ He doesn't know if there only being one makes it better or worse. ]

[personal profile] shadowblends 2017-12-18 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Ohhhkay, maybe that wasn't the best thing to say?]

I'm willing to bet that you won't even know which of us are mutants, so don't worry about it.
