'Nancy! Wake up!' Steve cried out, shaking her shoulders. But Nancy stood there lifeless in his clutch, unresponsive.

'Nancy, please!' Steve hollered in desperation.

'What is it? What's happening I can't see!' Dustin exclaimed pushing his way forward to get to the front.

'Vecna.' Max breathed out.

'Eddie your room is an absolute joke how do you find anything in here.' Sarah groaned. She was stood by Dustin, as they both rummaged around in Eddie's dresser. Opening drawers before grabbing piles of unkempt clothes and rooting around inside.

'Everything is where I need it to be sorry I didn't anticipate for like ten people to be in here going through my things!' Eddie countered, he was cradling a small collection of music tapes in his arms which he dropped onto the duvet strewn across his now mattress-less bed so they wouldn't slip through the slats.

'What is all of this? None of this is useful!' Robin hollered as she desperately delved through the tapes that Eddie had provided her with, looking up at him in an accusatory manner.

'I don't even know what you're looking for, you need to be specific!' He clamoured, growing frustrated at Robin's indignant behaviour.

'Literally anything good.' She exclaimed as they were now facing off in the centre of Eddie's bedroom.

'Okay Robin, and what is your definition of good?' Eddie shot back, pointing to her with a self-righteous swagger.

'We do not have time for this discussion right now!' I interjected, clambering between the both of them to take a look at the tapes myself, combing through them hastily one by one.

'Steve said you guys need to hurry up!' Erica's voice called out as she appeared in the doorway to Eddie's bedroom, an eyebrow raised as she watched the pandemonium unfold.

'We are!' Dustin retorted from his position by Eddie's dresser before Erica ran back out into the hall back to the living-room.

'Oh and my definition of good would be actual music not just screaming!' Robin shot back at Eddie.

'This is good music!' Eddie roared, grabbing a tape from the pile in front of me and waving it around in front of Robin's face.

'Enough!' I shouted, looking between the both of them as their faces faltered.

'Just gimme a tape surely there's something here she's going to know?' Max grunted, waltzing across the room to the pile of tapes laid out on the bed.

She grabbed a couple of them before screwing up her face in confusion.

'Alright this is useless what the hell is an Anthrax?' She queried, holding a tape out for Eddie to glance at.
