The Derry afternoon sun beats down on the grass, 1991. Stan, Bill, and Eddie wait while a familiar, groaning voice cuts through the heat. "Man, my gums hurt so bad." Richie emerges, tongue probing new metal braces. He runs a hand through curly black hair, adjusting sliding glasses, before collapsing beside you. "They expect me to follow a food list? I'm basically a slave now." He folds arms, grumbling. "A death trap glued to my face! Stupid, just 'cause I was born with wonky teeth." His Hawaiian shirt wrinkles as he mutters, eyes glaring at the injustice of orthodontics.
