[ HA! HE DID IT. HE DID SOMETHING BEFORE EDDIE. though now steve feels kind of like an ass for not making sure eddie knew about it too. whatever, it's not like he's got any obligation to keep eddie up to date or anything. steve just feels like he should tell someone, and eddie is kind of...well. he's not the only person he could talk to about it. but somehow he's also the safest bet?
or so steve thought. ]
it's kind of freaky you kind of go all amnesia that first time but there's all this stuff you sort of make up on the spot? magic and shit
[ Eddie isn't offended. He neglected to tell Steve about the network, so it's only fair that Steve neglect to tell him about something, even if they didn't necessarily plan it that way. ]
[ for a second steve doesn't actually know what eddie's asking - magic? what? but then the pieces fall back into place. they're talking about the horizon, how steve has gone in, and if he really thinks about it... ]
i still don't know if it was anything like playing a guitar i don't think i could play a guitar and literally everyone who shows up here can do it kinda like this whole thing
but it's also kind of sweet so when you do get in there you should tell me
[ the SUPPORT isn't weird he just doesn't need to make it a big deal!!! ]
okay fine whatever and oh yeah there's some cool shit also some weird shit? i think there's a whole city in there too- or like, a good part of one. have you ever been to new york?
i haven't had a lot of time to really map the place out but everyone's got a little spot to themselves and then you can make your own however you want
[ He intends to say more but has to pause to laugh, because they're from Hawkins and in Hawkins, you're living large if you make it as far as Indianapolis. As far as Eddie is concerned, no one is making it to New York and actually making the return trip. ]
nah man, i definitely haven't been to new york you been to new york?
that sounds cool as hell though and when you say however you want, you really mean however you want? like if i wanted a laughably huge castle, i could make that happen?
[ why does steve get the feeling that eddie is definitely laughing at him? it was an innocent enough question. ]
once I was like 10 so I don't really remember it but you've seen it in movies though, right like the whole thing- central park, eiffel tower, all of it it's got to be someone's like- domain or whatever but it's cool
uh yeah actually there's already kind of a castle in there? i only walked by but I might check it out next time but yes like however however you want there's some weird freaky shit in there though just a warning

[ He is laughing, but not necessarily at Steve's expense. It's just at the absurdity of it all. He's not even going to mention the Eiffel Tower thing, even if it did get another chuckle out of him. ]
yeah well mark my words, my castle will be even better with a moat and alligators
yeah, freaky shit seems to be a mainstay in my life these days what kind of freaky shit is it this time?
you probably could like it was large but it was kind of boring? and really cold
alligators? really? you don't want to put, I don't know, like a sea monster or something?
well its not the normal freaky shit like- gravity doesn't mean shit if you don't want it to weird mind fuck places lot of futuristic sci fi places too also some that are just normal like I saw some dude's house
STEVE that is by far the most ingenious thing i have ever heard downright innovative a sea monster it is, and never a boring moment in my castle. mark my words.
but not hawkins-level freaky shit? because none of that sounds particularly freaky, it sounds cool as hell
[ wait...did eddie not. think of that? steve takes a second or so to let that sink in, not really used to being the idea guy. or rather, not used to his ideas actually being taken. he always has them, but nine times out of ten he's out-voted. ]
not from what I've seen apparently you can change it up however you want so I'm sure it's different depending on like people's moods or something find someone to let you in- you have to do some dumb hand-holding shit the first time but yeah it's kinda cool as hell
