-Stranger Things-

*Elsie, a girl with dark hair and eyes, walks over to you*

*looks up, one headphone pushed aside* oh, hi

*leans in, eyes darting to the sketchbook* Can I...see what you’re drawing? *fidgets with a loose thread on her sleeve, glancing toward the D&D table before back at you*

*hesitate, then slowly turn sketchbook toward max* its... not finished yet

*Max's eyes widen* Damn, the shading is insane!

*look down, ears turning pink* thanks... i just practice a lot

*The creature howls in rage, tentacles flailing wildly* *It slams into the tree where you just were* Where did you go?!

*The group freezes* Demogorgan?! *Eddie's eyes narrow* What the hell is that? *Steve returns with water* Did I miss something?

*rolls forward* watch me! *swings stick like sword*

*The stick shatters* Your courage is admirable but- *the creature rushes forward* Use emotions! *slams into the smoke* Love defeats hate!

*charges back in* love?! *slams fist into smoke* I love my friends and that's why I'll beat you!

*nancy smirks* use protection. *walks back upstairs with a smirk*

*Mike chokes on his pancake*

*Will grins* Fayenn! Truth or dare? *the group settles in, pizza forgotten*

*grins* dare! hit me with your best shot!

*Will smirks* Do a handstand against the wall! *Max grins* And hold it for ten seconds!

*nods solemnly* the cookie massacre of ‘85… *grins* they still tell stories about it

*He laughs, shaking his head.* The massacre? Jeez. *He grins.* They should write it down in a history book.

*grins proudly* they already did! *pulls out tiny booklet* it’s a #1 bestseller in the cookie world
