[ usually with the younguns she does her best to uphold life's simplicity and assure them that the imbalances in her own can be easily managed, but it seems a shade crueler to do that to beverly, too. she should get to be a kid but that's not the same as treating her like one. in this case especially. ]

Sleep's about as big a fan of me as I am of it. [ she has nightmares too. nbd. ]

[deadlight]

[ if anyone can work all night and all day, it's the woman who picked pennywise up like a squirrel and broke his neck. it was the greatest thing she's ever seen in her life, and if she thought of herself as being in jess's debt she wouldn't be able to handle it because there's no way someone like bev can pay her back.

but she does brighten a little, at this latest revelation. something she can help with? ]

u should talk to p.walker
she's new too

[ and she had a veritable encyclopedia of advice on sleeplessness, which is why she comes immediately to bev's mind. ]

[underachievement]

[ the bomb has dropped! ]

I get enough advice from Trish already.
We're friends from back home. [ well, if they know each other it'll be easier to pick them both off at once, so she should hate this, but if Beverly is surrounding herself with good people, she'll need Jess less, and that's always in anyone's best interest ]

[deadlight]

[ oh my god. all bev wants in this moment is to be an adult woman so she can be besties with trish and jess and they'll drink wine and play hasbro games and braid each other's hair and murder bad guys. girl stuff. ]

!!! guess i was born in the wrong decade
are you guys from a shitty cursed town too?

[ because of the not-sleeping. she just assumes. ]

[underachievement]

[ Jess gets a kick out of the exclamation marks, for some reason. ]

New York, 2016ish
The city is great, I'm the one that's cursed.

[deadlight]

[ youthful exuberance. ]

i'd love to live in new york

i'm sorry you're cursed

[ at least bev and the other losers had the option of escape. ]

[underachievement]

[ Jess misses it every day. It was her main love interest. ]

Don't be. Around here it basically passes for normal.

[deadlight]

[ the chemistry is so believable. ]

yeah no shit
i guess we fit in with the scenery and all.

[ this may be france but it's definitely...cursed, by child standards. ]

[underachievement]

[ will they? what won't they? ]

There's a lot to be said for flying under the radar.
You probably shouldn't let anyone know you know me.

[deadlight]

[ i would do anything for love but i won't go to staten island. ]

that's fine
i'd have to explain how i met u anyway & it's like
a lot

[ 'u broke the neck of the face of literal evil aka my own father right in front of mine own eyes'. nah, that's not a meet-cute to tell the grandkids. aka her own kids?? jk all the it kids are sterile until they break the curse!! ]

[underachievement]

[ jammed into a homunculus, the concept of A Lot would gaze up at the Everestian pile of issues that comprised the circumstances of their meeting (where the dead are left frozen where they fell) and shit its insignificant pants ]

I'm sorry it had to be that way. [ not that most people meet Jess under much better conditions BUT WITH THE KIDS SHE TRIES AT LEAST ]
I probably won't know if something screwed up happens again. [ hng like kilgrave compelling a kid to tell him where she lives, but doing so would break the rules of his release and make him look like the bad guy he is, which he can't have. ] Kids can't be hanging around a prison so I'm giving you my address. [ shit she used to print out on business cards is now all cloak and dagger, god this is the dream. if she were an adult she'd just tell her what she tells everyone, hit her up at Heaven's Gate (which she never calls by name) ]
