Adjustment Period [Arrival]

Eddie tried to explain what his old job back home used to be, but quickly figured out that there was no applicable parallel to it. When cars are both a recent invention and rare...

Instead, he offered to try his hand at farming. So now he's got a carriage, a horse, and a bunch of supplies loaded into said carriage -- as well as directions to his assigned plot of land. And, well, first things first... gotta make friends with the horse and the chicken, right? As well as other people.

People who, hopefully, won't be off-put by the sight of an anxious, bespectacled blond carrying on a one-sided coversation in a soothing tone to a horse.

It's Always [censored] Spiders

Eddie picked up a copy of the Gazette and skimmed it -- the phrase 'spider-like creature' almost immediately standing out to him. Given his recent past experiences it's understandable.

Eddie makes a sound that's half groan and half laugh, covering his face with the newsprint page as he asks, "Why is it always spiders?"

Even if the River Walker isn't really. Even if 'spider' just what the puny human mind can conceive of what they're seeing. His back still aches from being grabbed, his throat is still just a bit raw from the screaming...

This was supposed to be a clean slate.
