Chrissy knows of Dungeons and Dragons, of course, and the club Eddie runs at school. That's just about the beginning and end of her actual knowledge, though. All of the rumors — that it's a cult, that it's devil worship — haven't escaped her either, but she's never put much stock in them. Intimidating as she may have thought Eddie was before he met her out in the woods, it just seems sort of ridiculous to her, the idea that high school students playing a game would actually be summoning demons or whatever else people are saying.

Even now, with his tying it to what's been happening to her, she's more curious than wary. Maybe she's just been too frightened of too much else to have the energy to worry about a game now. Maybe, as horrified and shaken as she still is, there's a little bit of relief, too, in simply being done.

"This is going to sound really stupid," she admits, her expression turning sheepish as she ducks her head, nose wrinkling. "I didn't know there was actual lore."
