[ Stan sometimes feels like he hasn't really adjusted to live at all here. He gets homesick, more than he ever could have anticipated. He misses the other Losers and sometimes he even finds himself missing some of the less nice people around Derry. That's infrequent, though, and he misses the Losers all the time. It's been hard to find a new set of friends to really fit in with. Bill, Richie and Eddie had known him for a long time and they knew that there was more to him than his rigid exterior but then again they'd always created a sort of balance with each other. Here, he hadn't really found anything like that. So, he spends a lot of hours in the library.
He searches out books on birds, sometimes books on his religion or the language his father was always trying to push him to study and he had always resisted. Sometimes, very few times he'll pull down a fantasy novel to read. He's become rather good at knowing where different sorts of things are located, so you can always ask him for help or get nosy about what book he has his nose buried in. ]
[ It's been a while since Laura had showed him the zoo for the first time and he's found his way back there more often than not. There's a lot of strange animals and then there are some that remind him of home. There's not an Evening Grosbeak to be seen and that's a bit disappointing to him but he'll always continue to explore through different bird species and the like. Sometimes he ventures to other exhibits but other times he'll stare at a flamingo like species for hours, just watching how they interact with each other and their environment or he'll try having a conversation with a parrot.
Do you want to know more about birds? He's the kid to ask or if you wanted to show him something else cool... ]

( B. Zoo )

... Unusual is normal, for me.
[A hesitant pause.]
Does unusual scare you?
no subject
Back home, It...this... [ He pauses... ] People say when I describe it that it sounds like a fear demon. When it would appear to me I always saw this painting of an unnaturally distorted woman from this painting that was always off center in my Dad's office. [ That painting was a nightmare to him on so many levels. ]
So I guess, it is, the unusual, the unnatural... But we beat It. [ Meaning, in a way they all kind of beat their fears and they'd promised to fight It again if It ever came back. ]
no subject
¿Cómo? Beat what?
[Sounds like there's a lot to this.]
no subject
It. [ He shrugs. ]
We just called it, "It" because it was different for everyone...
no subject
I don't think I understand. Why was this 'It' there? After you?
no subject
I don't know for sure. It was something about our town. Every few decades it comes back and bad things happen there. It's like there is an evil that nothing can erase.
no subject
You cannot kill it?
Or find someone strong enough to.
no subject
Adults didn't give a shit about what was going on.
no subject
I can understand that.
Will you be able to handle this It?
no subject
[ Stan really doesn't want to face It again. There's a terrible dread at the idea of it, like he'd rather die than do it but he tries not to think about that too very much.
They should have anyway... ]
