Listening to her, Bill couldn’t help the sigh that he left out. It wasn’t in frustration at her, but at the situation as a whole. This was going to be easier if they all had their memories, but that didn’t seem to be in the cards. “No, well, yes..” His head shook. “It’s complicated. We all lost our memories when we left town, but Mike stayed and brought us all back when IT came back twenty-seven years later. Long story short, our memories came back and we fought IT and finally destroyed him, but we lost some of our friends along the way.” He told her. “However, it seems we’re all here now, but some of us don’t have our memories anymore.” Bill knew this was going to be a lot for her, but part of him hoped it might help jog some of her memories. “We could never let him have that kind of power. We’d all be screwed in the end.” 

🎈❤️🔥

                    beverly’s mind tried to keep pace with bill’s proclamation, but it was near impossible. it certainly made some sense due to the lapse in time. going from the 80s to now had once seemed so normal ; never allowed to overthink it too much before she’d conveniently lose her train of thoughts or would imagine far worse nightmares. face losing most of its color, she somehow knew it was TRUE, what bill was saying. she turned to the nearby table, slightly trembling hands reaching for a much needed drink before forcing up a slight grin. “please tell me this is the plot of one of your future novels. it’s pretty damn good.” a few sips && sapphire gaze studied him closely, sucking in a deep breath. “what do you mean by LOST ??” did this also mean that some of the dreams she’d been having were actually true ?? how’d she ever know ?? “&& do you know who else doesn’t have them ??”

                    luna had been in the cafe not too long ago, though she hadn’t exactly ordered anything, to be truthful. it was PEACEFUL there, && luna almost had a second home in one of the booths in the back. they had left their USB there ( or at least she hoped so, luna’s things tended to be stolen too ), && of course that very thing held the essay that was due tomorrow. lost in thought, they jumped at the thankfully soft bump. “could i possibly just take a quick look — ??” words trailed off, eyes widening in recognition when she spotted george. luna let out a short, soft laugh — assuming perhaps it was a familiar prank. they paused shortly after however, for if she couldn’t remember everything perhaps it was the same for others. “yes you do, george. i think we went to school together. i’m luna — one of ginny’s friends, if that helps.”

it had taken a while, but george was beginning to recognise that perhaps he didn’t belong in this town any more than some of the other people in it. he’d thought he came here out of choice, to get away from his parents back home, but his dreams were becoming more vivid. that fred kid kept popping up in them, looking so disappointed that his heart felt like it was breaking in two. and another face, his own, but different at the same time. a mirror image that wasn’t the same, like the missing part of his soul. it was, frankly, messing him up, and that was causing him to mess up his orders working at the grind. he’d finished another shift, heading out, when he bumped into someone as he headed towards the door. “sorry, we’re just closing-” he started, until he looked at her and frowned. “do i know you?”

Bill would’ve loved something that kept him from thinking about everything that was going, but probably not as much as he would’ve like to just go home. When he heard Bev’s voice, he turned and laughed at her words. “Well, I don’t think there was much farther you could fall from there.” He teased, laughing once more. “Um, yeah, it’s kind of a nice. But honestly I think my mind is more on what’s going on with this town. Although, you do have a point about the Losers not being invited to something like this. Seems like they’ve let their guest list fall into the gutters a bit.” 

🎈❤️🔥

                    hearing bill laugh only made her usual smile wider. they all had it a bit rough, especially back in derry. beverly liked, yearned, to lighten that burden for those she cared for even if it was only for a moment. “what do you mean ??” while affable expression remained, it was now mixed with a bit of confusion. from what she could remember her aunt chose to move them here. right ?? “it’s not so bad. though admittedly, living here the rest of my life sounds AWFUL.” beverly chuckled at his words, nodding her head in amusement. “oh, i’m sure it was a mistake on their part. i half expect we’ll be kicked out in no time. but hey, we just gotta make a scene && it’ll increase our street cred.”

               Bev  grabbing  onto  his  arms  made  Ben’s  eyes  widen  slightly,  but  he  certainly  wasn’t  complaining.  It  could’ve  been  worse.  She  could’ve  lost  all  of  her  memories  like  some  of  the  other  people  in  town,  but  she  hadn’t.  She  was  still  Bev,  even  if  she  didn’t  remember  their  relationship.  He  felt  a  blush  creep  onto  his  cheeks  as  she  mentioned  his  smile,  and  he  couldn’t  help  but  chuckle  softly  at  all  the  NKOTB  references.  She  was  the  only  person  that  could  make  him  smile  like  that,  like  nothing  was  wrong.  “  Hey,  being  stuck  with  you  isn’t  so  bad.  ”  In  fact,  it  was  really  his  best  case  scenario.  “  I’ll  never  let  you  go.  ”

🎈❤️🔥

                    upon the return of ben’s smile, her own widened. “ah, there it is again ; my favorite one.” words were uttered before she could stop them, however it felt right. it was TRUE. while unsure of the whole party to begin with, bev had to admit it was nice, this was nice. a bit of normalcy, something she never had. brow arched in almost a playful challenge. something about the way he looked at her always made her a bit nervous, but in the good way. “— we’ll see if you keep saying that as the night goes on. i may be your valentine girl, but i’m an annoying drunk. if in my sights you’ll be forced to dance eventually.” laughter chimed along to the music as hands released their grasp, nodding towards the drinks. “what’s your poison these days, new kid ??”

                    beverly may not have lived under her father’s thumb for quite some time, but the process of learning about herself && getting comfortable with that was ongoing. formal dresses, galas, they weren’t quite her thing yet. bev’s smile in reply was INSTANT. “eh, i feel —” the words pretty silly quickly dropped off at the SINCERITY of his expression. “— thanks.” cheeks rosy as sapphire gaze then took him in fully. “is that a clip-on??” beverly teased before tugging playfully at his tie. real.  “well, now i can officially say the same to you.” she reached to straighten his tie && pocket square despite how perfectly placed they already were. “you trying to impress somebody ??”

               Ben  shouldn’t  feel  awkward  around  Bev,  especially  not  after  everything  they’d  been  through  together,  but  her  not  remembering  their  relationship  made  him  feel  like  that  twelve  year  old  boy  that  was  head  over  heels  in  love  with  her  back  in  Derry.  Still,  there  was  no  one  else  that  he  would  have  rather  spent  this  event  with,  so  he  made  his  way  over  to  her.  “  Hey,  Beverly.  ”  He  smiled,  taking  a  moment  to  look  down  at  her  outfit  and  hoping  that  the  look  on  his  face  wasn’t  too  obvious.  “  You,  uh…  You  look  really  nice.  ”

Jake: that’s a pretty rock, Dwight

Dwight: thanks! Feng gave it to me

Feng: I threw it at you

Dwight: She’s very sweet

edgcofgreat​  /  rue * !!

               Rue’s  eyes  went  wide.  It  wasn’t  a  question  that  she’d  expected,  and  she  honestly  had  to  think  for  a  moment  before  answering.  “  Well,  right  now  I’m  reading  Pride  and  Prejudice.  We  didn’t  have  a  lot  of  books  like  this  back  home,  and  so  far  it’s  a  pretty  good  read.  ”  She  smiled,  holding  up  the  book  in  question.  “  I  don’t  know,  it’s  hard  for  me  to  pick  a  favorite.  ”

                    "a fan of LOVE i take it ?? well, it is the season, can’t fault you for that.” luna knew it was a classic, but it was one she had yet to read. “i’ll take your word for it && get it,” she nodded with a knowing smile. “i guess it was rather unfair of me to ask. there’s so many && sometimes it depends on the day.” a pause, she racked her brain for how even she’d answer that question. “ — have you heard of area 51 ?? i read a book about it once, had evidence to support the study of aliens there. i quite enjoyed that one. then again, to say it’s my favorite ?? it’d be a stretch.”

THE PAST

depending on how the game is played, there’s different events ; there’s a lot to cover so alas here’s his wiki. but !! since it has been almost six years since this game came out ( & i’m still not over it bye ), here’s a smol rundown of this asshole <3. when/if he ever does get his memories back, he’ll remember himself as the SOLE SURVIVOR outcome just cause we love pain :) :) :).

( tw: bullying, death, cannibalism mention, creatures/wendigo )

a year before the incident, mike & his friends were staying at the washington’s vacation lodge — hannah was known for having a crush on mike, despite the fact that he was dating emily at the time. they prank hannah by having mike confess his attraction to her while the other friends hide & film it ( with the exception of josh, sam, & beth ). things get a little 👀 when the others reveal themselves, ofc embarrassing hannah. they pull the it’s just a prank speech, but hannah runs outside, soon followed by her twin beth — they disappeared & were never seen again ... in human form at least :)

a year later they all come back to the lodge for a reunion, only now mike is dating jessica, emily’s former best friend. shit gets real™, & eventually the group finds out that josh was pranking them all for killing hannah & beth ... but also because of the cursed land & of a mining accident that happened in 1952 ( one that required the miners to resort to cannibalism to live ), hannah turned into a wendigo in her efforts to survive and is attacking them ... bless.

they then can all live or die one way or another ( with the exception of josh, who turns into a wendigo himself rip ), they’ve been through a lot, bless ‘em. hopefully that made the tiniest bit of sense ?? <3. thanks for coming to my ted talk.

IVYWOOD

his personality is pretty much the same, with the exception of the lovely character development we get throughout the game, unfortunately. so long story short, mike is trash — but with a hidden heart of gold that can make him at the very least recyclable from time to time. he’s ambitious, persuasive ( * sometimes manipulative ), & is definitely a serial dater partly due to his fear of commitment. he fears isolation, yet pushes people away so you know ... make that make sense. in his fake memories, he’s lived here all his life & quite enjoys it since he’s conventionally popular.

smol headcanon: ( tw: injury, amputation ) in the game there’s a moment where curiosity can get the better of mike, causing his left pinky & ring finger to get caught in a bear trap, he can either then make several attempts to open the trap or amputate his fingers, my mike does the later. in his current memory he believes he severely injured them in a sporting accident, but alas <3.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

a fake family !!, exes — more than likely on bad terms, current fling, fwb, brotp, ride or die, squad, someone he tutors, rivals, frenemies, etc <3.

{ meng ziyi, cis woman, she/her } have you heard that ( feng min ) from ( dead by daylight ) appeared in town?  i know, i can’t believe it either.  she is ( twenty-one ) years old and is a ( professional gamer ).  I’ve heard that she has a tendency to be ( competitive & adaptable ) and ( fickle & calculating ), and they have ( all ) of their old memories.

PAST

{ tw: horror themes ( pretty much everything is in dbd, so please be mindful <3 ), alcoholism, neglect }

feng found video games at a young age. she loved the fact that she could become anyone she wanted. hours turned into days spent online && eventually her parents attempted to put a stop to it. they wanted feng to focus on her studies, to do something productive with her time. feng however saw how technology was changing, how there was a future in video games. in turn feng spent most of her time in internet cafes, pushing herself to get better && in turn slowly gained a following through streaming && competitions. 

respect — something she never had from her parents but did in the gaming world. less time was spent at home, only seeing her family on the holidays && even then she wished the time away. as the shining lion, her nickname && gamer tag, she was invited into a prestigious e-gaming team called the laser bears. a chosen family, they traveled the world, filled up stadiums with fans together && separately. 

but feng soon became obsessed, aiming for nothing less than perfection. she barely slept, with that her performance suffered. it got to her more than she let on, losing. she felt like she was not only losing competitions, but the respect && love of her peers, fans, parents. instead of spending sleepless nights training she went out to bars ; apparently games weren’t the only places one could be whomever they want. more often than not feng woke up in strange places ... only one day it was somewhere she had never been. the fog.

a place controlled by an entity, a place of nightmares — filled with horror icons && some she had never heard of. at first feng was cold to the others, never the most altruistic ( still wasn’t up until she left. especially to newer survivors. they had something to prove, didn’t they ?? ). feng spent her time observing, calculating. while terrified of what this place was, she soon discovered in reality, it was almost like a new game for her. one that she was determined to win. for her, that meant getting herself out of each trial by any means necessary. it wasn’t until she learned that it was better to work as a team, as she slowly let herself open up to the others, that she started looking out for them too. like her e-sports team the others became a sort of family even in their current chaos. 

IVYWOOD

she hasn’t been here for very long, but already she feels rather bored — though she’d never admit it. of course it’s better than in the entity’s realm, but when not focused on surviving it’s easier to let her mind wander && all the more difficult to not go back to old habits. but she’s trying™. despite how hard of a time she gave some of the other survivors, she misses them, hopes they’re alright && somehow end up here too. until then she’s content to get back to video games, to see all that she’s missed && attempt to help meg learn how to play too.
