the losers getting their memories back post derry 2.0 means all their long running games of tag and richie& #39;s obsession for the circle game are about to make a comeback
(there was a movie about this starring jrenner but i did not watch it sorry to this man)

the intricacies of the game all depend on which loser is "it" (we need a better word for this omg) at the time
ben will absolutely build elaborate snare traps, bev can and has hit someone with her car (it barely left a bruise bill stop whining)

bill has created entire false narratives to lure them in but there& #39;s always too much backstory and zero subtlety
mike was it once. some mind altering substances may have been used. shit got weird.

since getting his memories back eddie& #39;s been training for every marathon in whichever city he& #39;s currently in (he& #39;s been travelling with mike, staying with the other losers til he& #39;s on his feet, crashing on a few couches, occasionally in a bed but they& #39;re not making it a thing)
he can and will run you down with the fiery intensity of a thousand suns and it is exactly as terrifying as it sounds
when they were kids-- 6 or 7 years old-- richie only ever had one target when they played tag
everyone knew not to tag rich because he would immediately chase eddie and it would be a loud and aggressive back and forth between the two of them and really boring for everyone else

when he was 11 years old that all changed. richie got tagged, eddie took off running and richie tagged ben. everyone stood there stunned until ben, still open mouthed and gawking, tagged mike and the game started up again. eddie said he had heatstroke probably and had to go home
after bill gets her back for the car thing, bev tags richie assuming he& #39;ll tag bill again when he& #39;s back in LA
there& #39;s a losers meet up in chicago 2 weeks later that turns to chaos when richie walks in like a man on a mission and immediately tags eddie

eddie stands frozen like he& #39;s forgotten how breathing works, which given the injuries he had not too long ago is actually kind of terrifying
it takes stan& #39;s whispered "oh shit" to snap him out of it. he tags richie back with a shove to the chest that looks like it hurts but richie is beaming and shoves him back shouting "double stamp no erasies eds, you& #39;re it!!!" & everyone scatters for safety bc THIS MEANS WAR
you do not under any circumstances tag stanley uris-blum. stan as kid might have played by the rules but grown stan has patty, and patty will fuck up your life. she& #39;s 6ft2 with legs for days and zero fear, she can and will destroy you
