closed; Up where the mountains meet the heavens above

Who: Richie Tozier and Lance Sweets
What: Richie's worried about his friends
Where: Lance's place
When: Backdated to before the sandstorm
Warnings: Richie's mouth, and most likely talks of abuse, bullying, murder, basically everything that comes with a stephen king movie

[ He supposes he should have actually told Lance he was going to come knocking, but that would have required some slight degree of impulse control and planning ahead. With Bill and Beverly gone, all of that is completely out the window - all that's left is Eddie's worrying, Stan's meticulous, and...Richie.

It makes him feel strange, not being with the rest of the Loser's, and he knows it makes the others feel weird, too--before he'd just had blind optimism that the rest would show up, but it's starting to dwindle and leave Richie with the very real fact that this place is just as bad as what they fought in Derry. And then there's how concerned he is with everyone else, and sure, Lance had helped, but Richie had backpedaled and did what he always did when faced with a problem: ignore it and look for something fun.

So it's a strange moment of lucidity as Richie realizes him distracting himself won't help his friends. It's just after dinner (courtesy of Ignis) that he finds himself knocking pretty loudly, fumbling with his glasses as he waits.

Fuck.

Let's play while we talk, then. I'm secretly 80 too, so don't expect me to go easy on you.

[It's a light challenge; Lance hasn't actually decided whether he'll play to win just yet, but that's less important than getting a distraction up and going so Richie will relax a little.

But he didn't miss that last part, so as he pulls out his own phone and starts loading up the program he asks--]


Why do you feel worst for him?
