"You've been acting awful tough lately." [Y/N] [L/N] has been living in New York for 22 years, and they're just as successful as they thought they'd be- more so, even! A well-known software development manager, and spouse of the head of 'MyWare Industries', [Y/N] is practically made of money- and living comfortably as can be. But as they've learned, all good things must come to an end. 27 years have passed since the 'defeat' of Pennywise, and IT's back for its long-awaited, 27-year revenge. [Y/N] may scoff at the notion of their most dangerous enemy coming back to dig into their fears once more- after all, its all but a faint memory- but deep down, they know life would've never stayed picture perfect- no matter how hard they tried to keep it that way. Running back to Derry, [Y/N] encounters nightmares they thought they'd never have to face again: houses of indescribable horror, a broken crutch, the ghost of their own ill-perceived sanity- things they never wished to see again, things they'd run away from for a damn reason. But for the sake of Derry, Maine and her people, [Y/N] has to fight again- and relive their worst nightmare. [Y/N] thought they could leave all their issues behind them by leaving the cursed town of Derry... God, were they so fucking wrong.

"I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy!" [Y/N] [L/N] has been left alone with only their mother to stand by after their father was killed in a car accident. [Y/N] and their mother needed a new start- one that begins in Derry, Maine. Yet, the move doesn't exactly harbor any... 'improvements' for them, despite [Y/N]'s well wishes. Bullied for being without a father figure and living in the clutches of near poverty, [Y/N] is left to their own devices: friendless, with only a jacked-up bike and their mother who's barely around to get them through the bonafide struggles of life. That is, until [Y/N] meets a group of kids just like them: left to rot at the bottom of the social food chain. Partnered with a stuttering leader, trash-mouth, hypochondriac, boy who reads from a Torah, chubby sweetheart, girl with- supposedly- every STD in the book, and boy bullied for his skin, [Y/N] finally feels... safe, for once. [Y/N] sticks close to their new social circle- 'The Losers Club', they call it- saved from their inner demons, if temporarily. But, can the team save [Y/N]- and by extension, themselves- from a different demon? More specifically, a sick, grotesque monster, begging to claw into their deepest fears? ...Or will [Y/N] be left alone again, if they even survive? After all, [Y/N] isn't afraid of much. But they are afraid of losing the few people they have left.
