what you consider trouble or what i would consider trouble?

1/2

[verbol]

2/2

[verbol]

How big is the trouble?

Re: 2/2

[guitarpicks]

our grand overlord mommy still hates me so that's relative to how much someone cares?

[verbol]

I'm going to ask you nicely to please stop pissing off the woman the locals revere as a god.

[guitarpicks]

i have mommy issues? ( that are not as big as his daddy issues or issues with authority but. you know. )


and i didn't do it on purpose. i told you. i was trying to help the other void touched that time.

[verbol]

Eddie, your mom was a sweetheart.

[guitarpicks]

yeah, she was

outside of being a mom too, yeah?
she was just good?

[verbol]

Met her a few times over the years. She was a sweet girl. She was too good for Al, that's for sure.

[guitarpicks]

ever outside of a house call?

hop, literally anyone is too good for my old man if you actually know him

[verbol]

Couple times before I moved back to Hawkins. Before my old man died, we’d come back with Sarah once or twice a year.

Sarah went the same way she did. More or less.

[guitarpicks]

your old man was a dick, by the way

i don’t really remember much, i don’t think i understood how sick mom was until the end. al was too wrecked to explain and she was… well, sick.

but… uh. losing someone like that… your kid. i’m sorry.

[verbol]

Senior was as old fashioned as they come. He’d die all over again if he saw me out here.

Thanks, kid. The hurt doesn’t go away. I always meant to ask if

If Wayne managed to save anything of hers, in that fire. Photos?

[guitarpicks]

well, good thing he’s not the sort of dead that happens here

but how come you aren’t junior? you’re an actual junior. my names not even alan

he got my guitar out but photos and records make great kindling. al probably has a photo if they let him keep it in the pen

[verbol]

Were you born in Hawkins, kid? I forget. If so, there’s probably a picture of her day you were born down in the city newspaper archives.

Stopped being Junior the day Senior died. That’s how it works.

[guitarpicks]

yeah, i was. al got mom locked down in hawkins. she probably would have made it in memphis

… if you get back and remember, could you check? for wayne?

[verbol]

Yeah, kid. I’ll check.

[no correction this time. he doesn’t want another fight, doesn’t want to make Eddie feel worse about whether or not he’s going back. ]

[guitarpicks]

thanks, hop

sock my old man in the face too if you see him slinking back into town

[verbol]

Pretty sure Wayne'll get there first.

[guitarpicks]

( way to ruin the moment he was having with that thought, hop. ) probably but that doesn't mean you can't still get a punch in

you're spry

[verbol]

Fine, fine. One sock to the jaw in your honour.

[guitarpicks]

my own hometown hero

thanks, hop

[verbol]

We good now? I can go fish in peace?

[guitarpicks]

yeah, go fish

just don’t disappear or anything

[verbol]

Yeah, yeah. I'll see you when I'm back.
