Eerie, Indiana Mixologist Madness
Mar. 23rd, 2020 12:14 amfroodleSo, following this comment thread, I was wondering... what cocktails do you think they serve in Eerie? What's on the specials board at the Loyal Order of Corn? What's the Mayor throwing back after a hard day, or raising a glass of in celebration when he successfully feeds a teenage boy to a slavering wolfman? And in the alternate reality where Eerie was a juggernaut fandom with it's very own annual convention and a hotel bar decked out in yellows and greens and giant inter-dimensional TV sets, what's on the menu for thirsty fans looking for a pleasantly alcoholic beverage?

Eerie Indiana Double Drabble: Fox Women
Mar. 23rd, 2020 10:31 amfroodleThe Fox Women smiled with a thousand little sharp teeth, amber eyes bright with cunning beneath thick layers of kohl. The leader took a step forward, and for a moment black-furred toes were visible beneath the hem of her richly embroidered robes.
"Ladies," said Syndi, her voice calm, her face studiedly neutral.
"Ladies," replied the Fox Woman. Her breath was richly perfumed with the smells of honey and decayed meat.
"Ladies," said Melanie, and would have shot finger-guns if Janet hadn't grabbed her hands.
Syndi closed her eyes and counted to ten.
"Foxy ladies," said Melanie, as Janet frantically hushed her.
"Melanie, I swear to the Lord of the Corn-"
"We come for husbands," said the Fox Woman apologetically.
Melanie's face, what could be seen of it behind Janet's muffling palm, fell.
"Aw," she said.
"Not many eligible bachelors left this season," said Syndi, pretending she hadn't heard. "A pack of she-wolves passed through and ate most of the dating pool."
"Oh," said the Fox Woman.
"Sorry."
The Fox Woman shrugged.
"It happens," she said. "We will try again next year, when the new litter is full-grown."
"You may want to adjust your timescales," said Syndi. "By about two decades."

froodleMarshall Teller opened the living room door to find both his housemates stood at the window, staring out into the little patch of scrubland their landlord liked to claim was a garden.
"Guys?" he asked, weirdness-senses immediately on high alert.
Simon shook his head frantically, pressing one finger to his lips without ever looking away from the scene outside.
"There's a cat," he whispered. "A cat in our garden! He's looking at birds!"
Thinking he must have misheard, Marshall hurried to join them. There was, indeed, a cat. Black and white, of medium size and moderate fluffiness, it sat at the base of the half-dead tree and stared fixedly at the small brown shapes that moved amongst the leaves.
"Sparrows," said Simon, his voice hushed in wonder. "Sparrows and a housecat, Mars. In our garden."
Marshall pressed one hand to the chilly glass, fingers spread wide.
"Magnificent," he said.

froodleThe cultists from down the road (this was their actual name, cults being so common in Eerie that any better options had already been claimed) had lured another pizza delivery driver to them. Marshall could see the moped parked neatly at the end of a driveway that glowed with the black light of a dead sun, the thermally-insulated basket mounted on the handlebars open and steaming gently.
He sighed.
"Brace yourselves, guys," he said. "In about three minutes, the street outside is going to be covered in mozzarella and meat by-products."
Dash groaned. Simon got up, abandoning the game of Mutant Attack they'd been playing.
"I'll make sure all the windows are sealed," he said. "Dash, can you wedge the cheese-excluders under the door, please?"
Dash, whose player character had just died without the support of Simon's Healer, stood up.
"Who are these jackasses, anyway?" he said. "Everyone knows you don't mess with the pizza guys, not since their God made an alliance with the Eerie Dairy."
"In this economy, it's important to shop local," said Simon, wrestling with a stubborn window latch. "Milk, cheese, human sacrifice... their hearts are in the right place."
"Not for long," said Dash, pointing.

froodleIt was called the Eerie-tron, and it was - at least according to Things Incorporated, who'd made it - the very last word in home gaming consoles.
"Dad?" said Marshall, backing slowly away from the loading screen.
Edgar Teller didn't look up from where he was crouched in front of the Eerie-tron's power display, which was flashing twelve o'clock despite never having been built with a clock function.
"Mmm?" he replied, distracted.
"It says 'insert blood to start'," Marshall told him.
Edgar chuckled ruefully.
"Oh, that," he said. "It's a typo. Pour a little coffee into the cartridge slot and press the big red button on the side." He nodded his head towards a steaming mug of black coffee perched on the arm of the sofa. "Use some of mine, it won't need much."
Marshall fetched the mug and, after some consideration, a small teaspoon. He stood over the console and let a slow dribble fall into the black, prong-lined hole where a games cartridge should go.
"Coffee, huh?" he asked.
Edgar nodded.
"It started feeding off the blood of it's programmers," he said. "But this was quite late on in the process, so by that point their "blood" was about ninety percent caffeine."
He scribbled something down on the back of an old shopping list.
"Good catch, Marshall," he added. "We'll need to fix that on the final version."
"Yeah," said Marshall, examining the razor-sharp edges of the control pad, and the uncomfortably organic-looking length of wire that connected it to the hulking black form of the Eerie-tron. "It might put people off buying it if they think it's some kind of robot vampire."
"Not to worry," said Edgar, clapping him on the shoulder. "Once they start playing, it's so addictively fun they couldn't stop if they tried!"
Marshall smiled weakly.
