[your liver goes first.]

[Eddie is sweating. He's standing in front of a nice selection of candy at a random grocery store. Venom has some opinions on what looks tastiest but anything, honestly, will do. The selection isn't the problem. He whispers (seemingly) to himself:]

I don't want to do this.

[without your liver you can't even drink.]

Without my liver I'd be dead before I could-

[or we could, you know, eat someone.]

No. I, we don't know enough about this place to pick bad people.

[something with marshmallow. look at that mallow cluster cup, milk chocolate. eddie!]

I keep thinking about Miss Chen.

[EDDIE, I'M STARVING, PICK SOMETHING OR I WILL. and it might be your liver.

Eddie reaches out and grabs four of the mallow cluster cups and shoves them into the pocket of his hoodie.]

2. video: clackity-clack, please talk back

[Eddie is outside, apparently on a rooftop. It's daytime and he is squinting against the sun. The man looks a bit pale, peaky even. The hand not holding the camera comes up to block some of the sunlight from his face.]

Hi. I'm Eddie.

Is the Tribune the only publication here or are there other news outlets? Do any of you watching work in the news here?

[ Julie's out grocery shopping for her small apartment, not really getting all that much. It's just her there, so it's not like she needs tons of stuff. But, considering she came from a zombie apocalypse before showing up here, she's prone to buying a lot more than she should. Namely junk food. She's missed it. So when the guy who is talking to himself is eyeing the chocolate, she takes a moment to be helpful after he stuffs some of the mallow cups in his pocket, a friendly smile on her face. ]

I don't know what it is about those, but the chocolate kind of tastes like wax. It's pretty gross. The good chocolate is in the red and blue foil about...three feet to your right. Unless you like the marshmallow cups, in which case? Ignore me.

The Tribune is the only news publication that I'm aware of. For media work, there's always the FAMA talent agency, or I just started a public relations and marketing company.

[ The too pale visage of a girl who looks no older than 10 appears, peering at the screen with crimson, inhuman eyes. And where those bat wings? ]

As far as I know, they're the only newspaper in all the cities. By the way, you look a little... ill, I suppose. Does the sunlight not agree with you?

[ He'll be in good company if that's the case, she isn't a fan of sunlight herself. ]

Not really, at least as far as I can tell.

Also, you okay there?

[ That was a curious question, he wondered if anyone’s provided Eddie an answer. ]

What have you found out, so far, about your inquiry? I am unaware of anything more than the Tribune.. which the paper boy has a way of being destructive in the paper's delivery.
