This meeting was virtual. I was sick - not up to traveling, really not interested in inflicting illness on other people. (I've been sick for most of the last week and a half, which is why this is late being posted.)

We had our first voice chat over Discord; I had more Warm Hugs tea; I don't remember which tea KtE had. But we also tried something new: Streaming a show together.

We watched Markiplier's The Edge of Sleep, his new scifi-horror thing that's on Amazon Prime. I enjoyed it very much, other than the moments I had to pause it to yell at KtE about how the characters were being stupid. (I mean. Horror movie in the woods: Everyone gotta split up and explore, right? Horror movie in modern-day city: Everyone apparently forgets how the internet works.)

It begins with a couple of late-night security guards getting off their shift at 2am or so, and heading out to a party. "Party?" I said. "WTF kind of party do you show up at 2am? Wait, no, off shift at 2am, it's gonna be 3:30 before they get there -- you don't have parties running hot at 3:30 am..."

They arrive at the party, and I was very, very gratified to see it looked exactly like 3am of a raging party: There's one guy on the couch listlessly poking a tv remote, and two guys swapping a bottle back & forth and sometimes doing lines off a table. There are empty bottles and food wrappers strewn around the place. Also, the girl Our Hero was hoping to see has already gone home.

And then TV Remote Guy falls asleep, falls off the couch... and they discover he's died. Our Hero rushes upstairs to talk to the owners of the house but... they are also dead in their sleep. This is when The Plot kicks in: Everyone who went to sleep last night is dead now.

Two thumbs up; much recommend; first season very good. Ends on not so much a cliffhanger as "okay, that was Part 1 and you have figured out some of what's going on; here is the start of Part 2 where shit gets real."

Apparently it's based on a podcast. I don't do podcasts, and I don't want spoilers. I'll wait for season 2. Also, if you can - go check it out, because it hit the top 10 on Amazon Prime TV before they officially started advertising it, and I would love to see Markiplier knock the hell out of the Hollywood-production-values tv shows.
