⛧. ⸸ Eddie opened his mouth to speak, though dejectedly decided instead to raise his beer bottle to his lips and take a long gulp. He could keep a secret sure, he hid a lot in the last few days of his life, but he was a little too intoxicated right now to think straight. He bit down on his chapped lips, squinting in Clarke's direction in a failed attempt to steady his blurred and dancing vision. Her question invited a deep triggering flood of memories to flood his brain; things he'd been pushing deep deep down behind locked walls. He could relate to her query. Often times he though about his final moments, wondering if his sacrifice was inescapable, and then even, did it help their situation at all? Was Dustin and the others safe because of his actions? What if he did run away? Hands found their way to his hair, brushing it back and out of his face. "Destiny is a fickle little bitch. Why let it make you a little bitch too? Fuck destiny, be the Dungeon Master to your own campaign! That is to say, write your own fuckin' story. Do YOU want to stop it? Is the world worth your own life?"

"Hey, can you keep a secret?" She probably shouldn't say what she was about to, but she had had a few too many drinks to watch her discretion tonight. Besides, she really felt like she was clicking with the person beside her. Like she could trust them. Or maybe that was just the alcohol talking. Clarke paused, then said, "In about 30 years, there's gonna be a nuclear apocalypse. At least, there will be if this really is the same Earth that I'm from. I could probably stop it from happening. Is that what I'm supposed to do? Or am I supposed to just... let it happen?"

⛧. ⸸ The last drag of his cigarette allowed his undivided attention to ponder the question given to him. He flicked the butt of his cigarette onto the floor, a heavy booted foot twisted onto it, snuffing the last remaining embers under the black boot. With an exaggerated deep breath his head bobbed in contemplation. "I could go for a coffee." Eddie would have been a fool to deny an invitation from such a beautiful woman, oddly; she reminded him of Chrissy. Without letting that thought linger in his mind, he cleared his throat loudly and continued. "As long as it's JUST coffee, I don't know about all these... new-fangled poser coffees they offer now."

@hiddenstarters

"do you want some coffee?" she mused before pushing the cup heavily to one corner of the table. She was grateful that they accepted her invitation.

⛧. ⸸ Nothing has changed it seems. Never invisible, always the freak. Despite how hard he was trying to remain invisible for the time being as he gathered his footing in Washington. Though, he took comfort in the fact that it wasn't too dissimilar to Hawkins, despite being a lot busier and majorly technologically advanced in comparison to 1986. Eddie was simply just trying to read his new book, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition! It was crazy to think that there was now five whole new additions to his favourite table top game, and it was now popular? While he was demonized for playing it. A dry chuckle passed his lips at the strange woman's words. "Y'know you'd be surprised how often I get that. Am I really that scary?" Eddie pulled a goofy face, trying to make the woman smile. "I uh.. Admittedly overheard you mumbling... Are you also looking for your friends?"

Open Starter : Kala & Anyone ( @hiddenstarters )

In the months that she had been here, Kala had been trying to reach out to her cluster. No matter where she was, she had always been able to find them as long as they were conscious. When she had woken up without Rajan and unable to find Wolfgang or Riley or any of the others through their connection, she had momentarily thought that all of it had been a very long dream. However, she quickly shook that off. Everything she had gone through was real. Not to mention that logic would not explain how she had ended up in Washington upon waking up from a dream. Sitting in the park with the winter sun shining down on her, Kala closed her eyes and tried to find her family, "Wolfgang..." she whispered, "Lito? Will, Riley?" she whispered all their names like a prayer, saying Wolfgang's name one more time for good measure but... nothing. She opened her eyes and realised someone was there. Her hand flew to her chest as she jumped, "My goodness, you scared me."
