That freak who tried to strangle him, you mean?

[ he doesn't know what a clown is. may not know what balloons are, either? i have no idea, but laurence is trying to understand what he just saw, it's just. strange all around. ]

Is that some kind of power it has? Where'd it even come from...?

[ rhetorical, mostly. if richie really is just a normal human who never knew about things like magic or demiflora, he doesn't expect actual answers. but what the fuck. ]

the way i had lost this tab for TWO DAYS...we can drop or slowtag if you like it's ok

[Laurence your life....help....]

I suppose it is. [Richie's loathe to speak too much on it, but the cat's been let out of the bag several times over by now. He just hates it.

Oh, sure sure, they are far and away from Derry and all its damnable delights now. But this place just loved to dig up your old bones, didn't it? Is it worse to warn people, give them exactly the level of detail that would draw It's attention? Or worse to say nothing, and leave them with nothing if something happens?

Richie looks to Laurence, who is maybe too old for It's typical taste, but not nearly old enough to skate past it. Not that anyone could completely. His chest squeezes, and he says what he thinks he can.]

It didn't come from earth, I don't think. But It's been there a long time. And it can do a lot of things. It pulls shapes from your mind — things that scare you, or you've been thinking about. And it wears that shape to kill you.

It can't be seen unless It wants you to see it, either. It's... [His lips purse together.] Maybe it won't matter, but if something shows up here that looks like that? Behaves the way that thing does? You run from it. Don't try fighting it. It doesn't play by the rules.
