i mean...sure, if you want to? i don't know if wizards are really real though. i mean, if they are it'd be cool to marry one, but when i'm old.

like thirty.

[deadboywalking]

i heard her and hopper talking about it. dr. owens said it might be a good idea.

[beyourzoomer]

and what do you think?

Re: for @10_20_15_5_50

[10_20_15_5_50]

sure they are? lots in chicago but the ones in san francisco are assholes because they're all that's left after a lot of in-fighting, please avoid them, san fran used to be nice but it's now a bad scene

or so i hear

never been myself

[deadboywalking]

i don't know. talking about it just makes me...tired.
besides, i don't think anyone who doesn't already know about it would really understand.

for @radioshacks

[deadboywalking]

well, no. they use different schools of magic. like necromancy and stuff.

for @pentaxmx

[deadboywalking]

do you still wanna go to college in new york?

Re: for @10_20_15_5_50

[deadboywalking]

wait have you actually met wizards???

[It's anyone's guess why Will is even surprised by this, tbh.]

[radioshacks]

Do you want to explain this to me sometime? I'm afraid I don't know much about magic.

For Joyce

[radioshacks]

[ Bob knows that it's hard for Joyce raising two boys virtually all on her own and Lonnie -- well, he's not been a good father and he certainly hadn't been any good to Joyce. So, knowing she was worried and afraid he did everything he could. That evening, he'd brought over dinner and a bit of a silly kids movie that probably was too juvenile for Jonathan but he thought that the older boy would at least appreciate that Bob had carefully attempted to pick something that Will would especially like.

Now, the evening had progressed, the kids in bed (Will asleep, Jonathan probably not). ]

How are you feeling?

[pentaxmx]

Yeah, I really do.

[beyourzoomer]

so maybe you can just talk to us. since we know. i mean, if you want.

[deadboywalking]

[It takes Will a loooooong time to respond, because he's waiting for the "ha ha just kidding" punchline.]

if you really want to? i guess? it's sort of boring.

[deadboywalking]

what about nancy? is she gonna go with you, do you think?

[deadboywalking]

i don't know. there's a lot of...weird messed-up stuff. at least therapists get paid to listen to that stuff.

[beyourzoomer]

we all have some weird messed-up stuff, Will.

[mommabear]

[Joyce had been tense at the beginning of the evening, arms crossed tight over her chest, wearing that false half-smile she managed when she was especially anxious. Both her kids had picked up on it, too perceptive for their own good, Will staying close to her like a tiny watchful shadow, Jonathan arching both eyebrows when she mentioned Bob was coming over. Still, her tension had abated with every second Bob was there. He just had that effect on her, gentle and earnest, a rock of solidity in the chaos of her life.

The movie is ridiculous, and Joyce finds herself laughing more than she'd anticipated she would, sitting nestled close to Bob's side. Will had seemed to like it as well, and she even caught Jonathan cracking a grin a couple times. Dinner had been good too, something she hadn't had to worry about throwing together at the last minute, and the boys hadn't grumbled too much about doing the dishes.

Now she's sitting on the couch, wine in one hand, fighting the urge to stand up and go check on the kids for the fifth time. She looks reflexively at the hallway, wondering if the shadows she sees moving are real or just figments of her imagination. Then she looks at the door, waiting for the drunken knock that she got so familiar with when Lonnie still lived here.

Bob's question makes her jump a little, immediately turning red and hiding her face in one hand.] Better, I promise. I'm feeling better. I'm just...I don't know. [She doesn't know if she's more scared of demogorgons or her ex. Both seem equal threats just then.]

[deadboywalking]

that's my point. you don't need MORE.

[beyourzoomer]

Maybe I do.

[deadboywalking]

it's okay. you're still a good friend even if you don't want to listen to all the...gross messy crap.

[beyourzoomer]

if you don't talk to me, you should at least talk to one of the others.

Re: for @10_20_15_5_50

[10_20_15_5_50]

before I give you a hard yes I just gotta ask
what's the criteria for "wizard" status

someone who can do the same stuff a witch does, right?

[radioshacks]

If you're interested in it it can't be too boring can it?

[pentaxmx]

I haven't even thought about that actually...

[deadboywalking]

most adults don't like hearing about the stuff i like.

[Most adults = Lonnie Byers.]

[deadboywalking]

isn't that what people in love do? follow each other all over the place?

[radioshacks]

Well then, I guess I'm not most adults because I'd love to hear about the stuff you like.

[pentaxmx]

It doesn't always work out that way.

[deadboywalking]

like mom and dad?

[deadboywalking]

uh. okay. yeah, totally.

[pentaxmx]

Sometimes, but sometimes it's not so difficult.

[deadboywalking]

is it easy for you? and nancy?

[radioshacks]

You don't have to though. It's up to you.

[pentaxmx]

It's different.

i'm sorry i'm slow as molasses lately

[radioshacks]

[ Bob doesn't ever judge Joyce for any of her fears or worries. He thinks it's natural and he adores her all the more for them. He doesn't think there could be a better lady or mom around. He draws her a little closer after she answers, a soft kiss to the side of her head.

There's only so much that he can do to chase the echoes of monsters away. He wishes that he could do more but he'll do his best in any case. ]

It's going to be alright. [ He doesn't promise, of course. Because he's realized sometimes things aren't alright no matter how good a person you are. ]
