( speaking of bullies, venom is so tempted to call this kid a 'nerd' that eddie has to flick him order for him to hold back. it's still on the tip of his giant, slimy tongue, but he's showing restraint. for now. )

Hey, yeah, don't think we've met yet. Eddie. This is Venom. Not sure if you got that from the.... video part, but, yeah, we've been here for a bit. A while now, actually. Sorta crazy to think about.

How's it been for you so far? You doing alright?

( and then for the money, he and venom shrug — venom knows money as a silly human construct, and eddie just hadn't thought that far ahead. )

Thirty bucks, maybe?
