froodleThe man from the Eerie Dairy unloaded a crate of single-serve milk cartons onto the cracked linoleum in front of the Eeriemat's vending machine.
The thin chain around his neck jangled with a hundred keys of varying size and shapes, but his fingers sought and found the right one almost without conscious thought.
"Looks like this thing's working out well for you," he said to the boy behind the counter, whose smile was penny-bright in the light of the overhead fluorescents. "Second time this week that you've needed a restock ."
The boys' eyes gleamed like silver dollars and he nodded.

Eerie Indiana Drabble: Timewarp
Jun. 14th, 2020 03:13 pmfroodle"So," she said, once she was back in her seat with a sufficiently-doctored drink in front of her. "What am I doing here?"
"I'm not entirely sure," the Milkman confessed. "This is my sixty-seventh-and-a-half go 'round and I can't tell if I'm trapped in a time-loop and pulling you in or if it's the other way around. For all I know, it might even be something else entirely."
Janet thought about this, one hand absently tapping a long column of ash away from a cigarette that had burned all the way down much faster than it should.
"Hmm," she said.

Jun. 14th, 2020 03:03 pmfroodleThe three-eyed cow painted on the side of the milk truck stared at Janet as she approached, the bovine grin wide and leering, a single cornstalk clutched between wide, blunt teeth.
The Milkman had told Janet she'd be safe, and weighing the risks of trusting him against her dislike of black coffee, she'd decided to risk it. She'd encountered the occasional evil Marshall before, but to a one they'd all sported goatees and were therefore pretty easy to avoid.
Still, she breathed a little easier once she was back inside, a tall glass bottle of half-and-half cool in her hands.

Eerie Indiana Drabble: Coffee Break
Jun. 14th, 2020 02:54 pmfroodleOne of the good things about the abandoned realities, Janet reflected, was the way entropy just... stopped working.
The unopened bag of Dark Gods' Darkest Roast Ground Coffee was as fresh as if it had been stored in ForeverWare, the water from the tap in he kitchen ran cold and clear, and the packet of filters were white, crisp and untroubled by dust despite having sat on the shelf for Corn-knew how long.
"Thanks," said the Milkman, as she slid a mug across the spotless tabletop towards him. "There's milk and stuff in the back of the truck, if you want."

Jun. 14th, 2020 02:47 pmfroodle"Thanks for the heads up," Janet said wryly. "Did any of the other me's manage to figure it out?"
The Milkman pulled a sheet of paper from the breast pocket of his crisp white uniform. The ink on it was fresh enough to smudge slightly under his fingers, but the paper was yellow-brown and brittle with age. He handed it over.
"Huh," said Janet. "Somewhere between seventy-eight and eighty-three, allowing for time dilation caused by loose twine on the time canoe. And apparently I'm not to ask Mister Radford for his age under any circumstances."
"Seems wise," agreed the Milkman.

Eerie Indiana Drabble: Relatively
Jun. 14th, 2020 02:30 pmfroodleJanet lit up, pausing for a moment to savour the taste of tobacco and nicotine while she inspected the latest (relatively speaking) version of Marshall.
He was old, but not as old as he'd been the first (second?) time she'd met him as the Milkman. Older than her parents and most of the teachers at school. Somewhere around Mister Radford's age, or at least around the age that Radford presented himself as.
"You'll only get a headache," the Milkman warned her. "One of the other you's even passed out trying to work it out. Gave herself a nosebleed and concussion."

"It's okay," Janet lied, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a crumpled packet of cigarettes. She placed one between her lips, then paused.
"Is this one of the empty realities? I don't want to smoke in here if another one of me is going to catch hell for it somewhere along the timeline."
"You're good," the Milkman assured her. "This iteration's been abandoned since the timestream flooded a hundred years from now."

The Milkman held up liver-spotted hands in a gesture of apology she recognised from his regular-time counterpart.
"Sorry!" he said. "Sorry! Didn't mean to startle you."
Janet bent over, breathing deeply as she fought both the pounding of her much-abused heart and the urge to go over there and smack him.
"Marshall," she gasped eventually. "Whichever iteration you're from, please tell the rest of yourselves to never, ever do that again."

Eerie Indiana Double Drabble: Clear Out
May. 27th, 2020 07:17 pmfroodle"Back so soon, kid?" asked Billy Millions, glancing up from the freshly-shined chrome exhaust in which he was admiring his newly-trimmed beard. "You lose something?"
"No," said Marshall, whose arm was wrapped in hastily-applied gauze that smelled strongly of antiseptic. "I came to warn you that the Garbage Guys are planning to burn your clubhouse to the ground later today. You need to clear out your recycling now before they put the torch to all those old newspapers."
The Unkind One's leader gave him a long, considering look.
"Well," he said. "That's alarmingly specific, but I expect if you tell me any more, we'd be risking the collapse of the space-time continuum, right?"
"Right," said Marshall, then, "Wait, how did you-"
"I might have had this conversation before," said Billy Millions, rising to his feet with a creak of very tight leather clothing. "But I can't say more, because I'm bound by causality and my given word."
He turned towards the open door of the clubhouse and beckoned to someone inside.
"I also happen to have a ball of dino-proof twine lying around," he said. "Which you may have a use for, at some unspecified point in time."
Marshall gaped.

Eerie Indiana Drabble: Seconds Away
May. 27th, 2020 07:03 pmfroodleThe second hand was the hardest. Finger-painting something that thin and fine, in oily prison crud, on bare skin, might have been manageable for Sara Sue, or even Syndi, but it was definitely beyond Marshall.
He picked up the sharp-edged rock, dragged it along the greasy build-up on the wall, and gritted his teeth as he pressed the jagged makeshift nib along his arm. It left a trail of black ooze and a thin white line that quickly welled with droplets of red.
Marshall pocketed the stone, stared at the crude drawing of a wristwatch.
The second hand moved, slightly.

froodleHe reached for the handle, but was unsurprised to find it remained flat and two-dimensional. Of course, she would have shut it tight behind her. Sara Sue Haverstock tended not to leave a lot of open doors in her wake.
Still, as Marshall stared at the calendar with it's crossed-out mass of unlived days, and the smudgy door that was now only ever a drawing, he had an idea.
He rolled up the sleeve on his right arm, the one that was usually covered to the elbow in more than a dozen watches. Taking a deep breath to steady himself, he used the gritty dirt of the unswept floor to draw a rough circle on the pale, exposed skin.
At his back, the door that was not and had never been a door creaked encouragement through non-existent hinges. A faint breeze blew from beneath it, smelling of newly-cut grass and the spring tide that was always slightly pink with blood.
He opted for roman numerals, figuring the straight lines would lend itself better to writing on skin with the greasy black grime of the prison cell. He drew a minute hand, and a shorter, thicker one to mark the hours.

froodlePerhaps it was his frantically-racing mind playing tricks on him, perhaps it was just his eyes adjusting to the windowless gloom of the tiny cell, but Marshall could almost swear that next to the calendar was the outline of a door.
Painfully, he raised himself up to a crouch and, one wary eye on the darkened room beyond the bars of his cage, he shuffled over to examine the faint chalk smudges that formed a tall rectangle on the bare breezeblock walls.
The room's previous occupant had signed her work, and despite his situation, Marshall laughed when he saw it.

He rolled onto his side, and that's when he saw the calendar. Scratched into the wall, probably with one of the many sharp-edged bits of stone he could feel digging into various parts of his anatomy, it showed dates more than ten years into the future.
All of them had been crossed out.

He looked down at his blackened palms, feeling the panic rise and trying to push it back down.
It wasn't that bad. Simon would be missing him by now. He'd get help. People would come for him.
But the Unkind Ones had tried, hadn't they? He'd seen the flames rising over their clubhouse, thick black smoke and choking fumes like a thousand tyre fires. Even if enough of them had survived to mount a counter-attack, they were effectively out of commission for the time being.
Time. The Dairy. The Dairy would... well, the Dairy would consult the Great Cow of the Cosmos and if causality demanded he be lost, then they'd shrug their white-coated shoulders and resign themselves to plucking a different Marshall Teller out of his home reality and starting all over again.
Radford would miss him, of course, but he'd been firmer about his policy of non-interference since his stock room turned into a hollow-backed Hollywood set and he'd had to pay for an extensive and inexplicable refurbishment, not to mention replacing all his supplies.

Marshall rubbed at the too-pale patches on his forearm, feeling his flesh crawl with goosebumps and his skin prickle and burn. Part of it was remembering the slick, rubbery feel of the Garbagemen's fingers as they tore away timepiece after timepiece. Part of it was probably just unaccustomed exposure to the chill air of the Mayor's secret dungeon.
The concrete floor was gritty and cold beneath him, leaving thick smears of black on his clothes and his frantically scrabbling fingers as he searched for something, anything, that would help him get out of here.

He leaned against the warped and rotting door frame, breathing hard, willing his heart to return to it's normal rhythm. He wasn't as young as he was, or as he would be again, and he hadn't expected to make this climb today. He'd not had to make it in any of the previous iterations, but then, maybe that's where it had gone wrong.
The thirteen clocks of the bell-tower began to chime.

Behind them, rolling green fields where cattle had once grazed had been replaced by beanstalks, each one as thick around as a double decker bus. The clouds hid their tops from view, and thus far they had remained blessedly giantless, but they all agreed it was only a matter of time.
"They sold every single cow?" asked one.
The others nodded.

The Milkman selected a wire-mesh cage containing four pint bottles that glistened with condensation. He set them on the moss-covered front step before forcing the swollen door open and stepping inside.
"What's with the delivery?" asked Marshall, following him in.
"Fixed point in time and space," explained the Milkman. "The milk's our anchor."

"Mars?" he asked. "You okay? You look..." he searched for a tactful phrasing and settled on "Not... okay?"
Marshall groaned, pressing the heels of his hands into eyes ringed by dark circles.
"Present me hates past me," he said. "Past me is an idiot."
Simon paused.
"Past You in the sense that you stayed up too late last night and now you're paying for it, or Past You like the Milkman showed up with some nightmarish tale of temporal distortion caused by you knocking over a glass of orange juice when you were thirteen?"
Marshall blinked.
"I'm asking if I need to go get the Time Canoe out of storage," said Simon. "If the space-time continuum is in danger of collapsing, I'd like us all to be wearing life jackets when it does."
"Oh," said Marshall, as understanding dawned like a very tired sun. "No, it's just a late night. Cursed study aides, I fell down a jackalope hole. The time stream's fine."

The Milkman switched the ice-pack to his other eye and winced.
"They're scared," he said, which was true, though it wouldn't make his bruises heal faster. "Scared people do stupid things some timelines."
"Times, I mean," he corrected hastily, as the old man shot him a knowing look beneath his battered straw hat.
"They're panicking over milk," said the farmer. "As though this place didn't have it's own dairy. The cows almost outnumber the people."
The Milkman looked over the bloodied corpses littering the field.

Eerie Indiana Drabble: Timepiece
Feb. 22nd, 2020 01:47 pmfroodleMarshall stood in front of the huge glass display case that ran down the centre of the room, staring past rows of ornate antique clocks at the man on the other side.
The man, who was also Marshall, though older, gave an awkward wave. He pointed towards the far end of the long room, where a small gap allowed visitors to the Eerie Museum of Horology to circle around the cabinet housing some of history's most important timepieces, and made a questioning sort of shrug.
Marshall shrugged back, then nodded, heading off in the direction his older self had indicated.

froodleomari Katz is retired from the world if acting so its prolly better to retire Marshall as well

Lure him out of retirement for a reboot. He could pass on the mantle to a new generation.
— CharlesWynfordLodge (@2hrTV) November 8, 2019
It's canon that Marshall grows up to be the milkman tho and I highly doubt omri would do it. He cuts hair now

AndreiBedene on Eerie Indiana
Nov. 7th, 2019 07:03 pmfroodlePrecisamos falar mais sobre Eerie Indiana (1991) - essa série precisa ser mais valorizada...
— Andrei Bedene (@AndreiBedene) November 7, 2019
Uma serie cheia de coisas estranhas, que misturava ficção científica, aventura e mistério. E que fazia muitas referencias a filmes antigos. Uma espécie de "Stranger Things" dos Anos 90. pic.twitter.com/V1NTmxSW6O
"Eerie Indiana" conta a história de Marshall, um adolescente que se muda para uma pequena cidade chamada Eerie, no estado da Indiana.
— Andrei Bedene (@AndreiBedene) November 7, 2019
O problema é que nessa cidade acontecem eventos sobrenaturais, estranhos e difíceis de serem explicados...
A série trazia momentos estranhos do tipo o Pé Grande aparecer na frente da sua casa, pra comer seu lixo! Ou vc descobrir que o Elvis não morreu,
— Andrei Bedene (@AndreiBedene) November 7, 2019
e ele pode ser o seu vizinho! pic.twitter.com/0nikm1az86
Um dos episódios mais inteligentes foi o ep10 - "The Last Hour"
— Andrei Bedene (@AndreiBedene) November 7, 2019
A cidade de Eerie nunca adota o horário de verão. Então Marshal decide atrasar seu relógio em 1hora e viver sua vida como se fosse horário de verão. No dia seguinte ele acorda e uma dimensão alternativa... pic.twitter.com/YiBOgZr6oq
Eerie Indiana é uma serie subestimada pq teve apenas 19 episódios. Isso passa a sensação de que ela foi um fracasso. Mas na verdade foi um sucesso de crítica. O problema foi o alto custo de produção. Ela foi produzida em película, igual seria feito um filme pro cinema...
— Andrei Bedene (@AndreiBedene) November 7, 2019
Vejo "Eerie Indiana" como uma série a frente de seu tempo. Importante para abrir um mercado que mais tarde seria dominado por Goosebumps, Arquivo-X, Hora do Arrepio, Clube do Terror, etc...
— Andrei Bedene (@AndreiBedene) November 7, 2019
froodlethe coolest way to do an eerie indiana reboot, would just be to do a sequel, a straight up season two where @justinshenkarow reprises simon to mentor new kids when all the weirdness returning from the other dimension and marshall has become the milk man.
— madi prime (@embracethemads) October 21, 2019
this way the other dimension can be canonical murdered like the scrappy doo that it is
— madi prime (@embracethemads) October 21, 2019
it is just unlikely omri Katz would return to the world of acting so there's just no recasting Marshall
— madi prime (@embracethemads) October 21, 2019
it wouldn't even be hard to utilize this property @Lionsgate

froodleI was sitting outside one day waiting for my lunch when a mail truck vroomed by on our road. Within seconds i made up a cute nsfw comic in my head about a mailman and a hot lady..
— 🔻J△CK🔻 (@Yuurikin) July 7, 2019
MAYBE I SHOULD JUST MAKE JACK A MAILMAN LOL
— 🔻J△CK🔻 (@Yuurikin) July 7, 2019
ill never need to make another character for the rest of my life, thank god
Showing my age but I misread as Milkman and remembered the one in Eerie Indiana.

Mr Bob on Eerie Indiana
Jun. 20th, 2019 08:07 amfroodleJust found Eerie Indiana on Prime and was immediately transported to 1991 watching this in my room on a little black and white UHF rabbit ears TV and being slightly uncomfortable the entire time.
— J. A. Ebberts (@JAEbberts) June 20, 2019
Time to expose the kids!!!
OMG!
— Barry (@Mr_B_OB) June 20, 2019
One of my all time favourite TV shows. The episodes 'Heart on a chain' and 'The Lost hour' are brilliant.
All that keeps running through my head right now is
— J. A. Ebberts (@JAEbberts) June 20, 2019
"Bite the hand that feeds you, bite the hand that feeds you!"
The show is really brilliant. So clever and intriguing!
— Barry (@Mr_B_OB) June 20, 2019
I just told the kids that it's like Goosebumps meets the Twilight Zone. They're intrigued.
— J. A. Ebberts (@JAEbberts) June 20, 2019
Totally. It was from watching that show and reading about it that it developed my curiosity and interest in 'Twin Peaks'.

9 Eerie Indiana Posters
Jun. 10th, 2019 01:09 amfriendof_dorothyI made 9 minimalist-ish eerie indiana posters. You can also use them as a lockscreen or what have you if you're so inclined.
the Milkman's watches, Dash's hair, one of Sarah Sue's drawings, Melaine's locket, the foreverware logo, the option screen from Mr Wilson, Marshall's coat, reality!Mary-Margaret's leather top + tattoo, the other Harvest kings.
