Who: Natasha Romanoff and Eddie Kaspbrak
What: Handbook for the recently deceased.
Where: Around town
When: Today

Her arrival in town had been a quiet thing, which Natasha preferred, caught up in the arrival of a few others, so she managed to slip in a little bit more easily than if she'd arrived on her own. And she'd been taking the time since she arrived to get as much detail out of Tony and Steve both about what had happened, and her previous selves that had been in town. She wasn't sure she liked the idea of some other her being here in the past, not some other her from a different dimension, but a her from her own death. It was strange, and it didn't help her shake off the idea that this might just be some sort of purgatory.

But she kept that theory to herself for now, Tony had made a life for himself here, with Steve. In a way that she'd never thought they'd ever actually manage back home, so she didn't want to take away anything from that, even if it was just her own personal doubts about what all of this meant.

The town was interesting though, far smaller than she'd have guessed on her first day, and no amount of going through the woods managed to get her away from the town. So instead she was investigating houses, Steve and Tony had been more than kind enough to let her stay with them since she'd arrived but she would want her own space in time. And she'd heard you could just pick an empty house, so there she was wandering through the little rows of houses peering in the windows when she came across someone she didn't know from home. She didn't often forget a face, and even if he was some other version of someone she knew, he didn't carry himself right.

So she put on her friendliest smile, warm and easy going as she relaxed the set of her shoulders and lifted a hand to wave. "Hi," She said while there was still a little bit of distance between them so neither one of them were taken by surprise. "I'm new in town, I'm still getting my bearings." She explained, "I'm Natasha. I don't think we know each other?" She offered him her outstretched hand.

There were a lot of variables. A lot of unknowns and, really, it would be hard for him to try and predict what would happen and what action was the best without more information. That would involve talking to more people or becoming acquainted with individuals who had gone through the doors before and who were willing to talk about the experience. The fact that he didn't and couldn't know the risks involved with any of this was a little worrying but, maybe, it didn't matter. He'd already died. The worst had happened. He should probably just move on and worry about the doors and what could be set loose into their sleepy little town when he wasn't stuck inside one of the doors.

The field and it's door was definitely something to be revisited but not by him. This was a little much even for him, even if he was dead. Hell, thinking about how he was dead was a little much for him. So Natasha could revisit the pink field whenever she liked and just tell him about it. He'd love to hear about it.

The mention of drug stores perked him right up though. Maybe he couldn't get an inhaler or any of his other drugs (because they were all prescription and he doubted he could have his doctor call them in here)but he could get a few other supplies. Eddie had been in drug stores and hospitals so much as both a child and an adult he knew a thing or two about playing medic. Not enough to take care of himself, obviously, but he might need a few things. Just in case Richie injured himself or for when he needed to change the bandage on his face. "You know what, I'd love to start at a drug store." He said a little too easily.
