Has anyone seen Eddie Munson around? He hasn't come back to his apartment for a few days, which isn't totally weird, but long enough his friends are starting to worry about him. Long curly brown hair, dresses like a rockstar, smokes like a chimney. Might have told you his name is something else like Ozzy Osborn.

Also I saw some fliers for the mall opening. Seems like it could have some useful stuff in it, so if anyone wants to go in a group, let me know. Safety in numbers and shit like that.

This is Steve, by the way. Steve Harrington.

[ !! ] shit, that's his last name? munson? i mean how many fucking metalhead eddies can there be, man. no, i haven't seen him in awhile. was talking about it awhile ago to someone... kinda concerned, dude. but uh, didn't know who else he knew.

[hairsprayed]

I don't even know how many people there are here. Definitely can't be enough for two Eddies that fit the same description. Do you remember the last time you saw him?

We know each other from home.

no worries!! Sorry about the delay

[wrenchedup]

more than what's comfortable if you consider some of the theories about what here is but yeah we were talking about hitting up the bowling alley, making the music a little less fucking lame there. then got talking about bands i think, oh yeah. manowar

uh, but hold on lemme see.

[ one moment. then: ] oh.

[hairsprayed]

Do people have theories about this place?

Yeah that had to be him. No idea what manowar is but he's always talking about music or D&D.

[wrenchedup]

yeah, sounds like him. lotta theories around here. some people think its a dream, there's the whole "magic" theory idk what's up with that one. i think its a simulation but at the end of the day its all theorycrafting. we're still here, right?

anyway, uh. sorry about your friend, man. sounds like the guy. he seemed real cool.

big hair weed guy?

[ bummer... not that they knew each other well, but heine liked eddie. ]

still got a text record with him?
i hear when people vanish for good their texts disappear

[hairsprayed]

Yeah that's Eddie.

[ There's a short pause while Steve tries to find his messages with Eddie. He's unfamiliar with this whole "texting" thing, so he hadn't noticed anything off about it. ]

No text record. Not sure I like how casually you say vanish. No one's been found again?

[kampfgeist]

[ oof, bummer. heine liked him. ]

yeah. not casual, just... realistic
nobody's come back yet that i've heard about

sorry about that

guess this makes you the bigger-hair friend?

[hairsprayed]

I don't know it feels weirdly chill to think that people can just disappear. Not chill for us who start looking for them. But not the same as showing up on a train with a creepy pop quiz to answer.

Bigger? No way. Definitely better.

[abit_ofboth]

I am sorry to report that I have not come across anyone fitting that description.

I am, however, creating a list of who is here and who has gone missing. May I add him, and I suppose you, to these lists?

[hairsprayed]

Crazy that there aren't that many of us in this place and we can't even go very far, but we still haven't all met.

Yeah sure. Add Will Byers to the list of people here if you don't already have him. Are you keeping this list somewhere public?

[abit_ofboth]

You are not wrong about that. I thought it was just me, as I tend to prefer to be alone, but if you are noticing as well, then I would say it is very strange.

Ah yes, young Will. I do hope I shall be adding him to the resident list and not the missing list?

I plan on making it public as soon as I believe it is as complete as I can make it.

[hairsprayed]

Not like I've been super social since getting here. There's a lot of other shit to worry about before making friends.

Residents list, but I'll tell you if that changes. What's your name?

I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Eddie
(Monts here btw, from the station way back)
I can keep an eye out for him.
Big hair and smoke shouldn't be too hard to spot.
Or smell :P

[hairsprayed]

Not everyone thinks he's a pleasure to know but he's a good enough guy.

I remember you! Hi again. He'd be pretty hard to miss but someone's saying he might be gone. Still appreciate you keeping an eye out in case he's just being an idiot and hiding somewhere.

[nerine]

Hi again 👋👋👋

I really should keep track of people here.
If people are coming and going, that's definitely a cause for concern.
I guess it could mean they don't need to be here anymore.
If it was a dramatic exit, I'd imagine the most diligent people here would raise a fuss about it.

[hairsprayed]

Someone mentioned keeping a list, maybe you two could work on it together. I'm still not sure if people are leaving or might just going somewhere else. I don't trust this place to just let people go home.

[willtheunwise]

All the stuff he had on the roof has vanished too, like it all got put back or something.
And his apartment isn’t locked anymore but it was dark and I didn’t want to snoop too hard.

[hairsprayed]

Shit. I didn't want to go in there either but I'll take a look today.

Guess it might be better if he was sent home instead of being stuck here.

[willtheunwise]

I can come with you if you want, I just didn’t want to with only a torch it felt invasive and creepy.

This place is horrible, yeah.
At least nobody was accusing him of murder here though.

[hairsprayed]

Only if you want. He might have booby trapped the place so get ready to duck.

Fuck how did I forget that? But he's got Dustin and Nancy and everyone there to help him out so he'll be alright.

[partofmyreligion]

Did you find your friend?

[hairsprayed]

No sounds like he might be gone from what people are saying about messages and stuff disappearing. Did you know him?

[partofmyreligion]

No, but finding people is what I did back home. I was going to offer...

I've never known anyone who's left here.

[hairsprayed]

Oh but that's good to know. Feels like finding things is going to be important here. Were you a cop?

Me either but I don't know a lot of people here in the first place.
