WHO: Steve + YOU
WHERE: All over
WHEN: June
WHAT: catch-all for the month!
WARNINGS: Unerage drinking.

Babe's Batting Cages || DE CHIMA
[ Steve enjoys working at Babe's Batting cages, even if it's not a career for the future. He is popular, of course, chicks find him handsome and dreamy, and dudes find him super cool, which means Steve is back at being the King - not of Hawkins Highschool, but of the Batting Cages, at least. And naturally, he doesn't mind his popularity.

When he isn't behind the counter serving whoever wants to play or serving cokes and hotdogs to whoever is thirsty/hungry, Steve is walking around the place, even showing some of the players how to swing a bat.

And if you are in luck - and the supervisor isn't around - you might even get to see Steve actually using his powers. He summons a baseball bat covered in nails and swings it around, eventually hitting baseball balls that get stuck on the nails. The girls cheer and the guys take pictures and Steve waves proudly.

Yeah, he likes this job a lot. ]

Healing powers || ANY CITY
[ Steve doesn't use his powers often. He doesn't have deadly monsters to fight here so mostly he makes use of his power for fun and not really because it's necessary.

However, sometimes he sees a kid falling off a tree or maybe a soccer game got too rough and now there is some brat on the floor screaming, so he might use his powers then. Which is what is happening now - he saw a kid being pushed by another, and he is left whinning on the floor. Steve groans and aproaches, poking the kid with his foot ]

Stop crying, brat. As if that hurt that much. [ he reaches to press his hand on top of the kid's head and just within a second, suddenly everything is back to normal - all wounds are healed and the kid (and all of his friends) seem really srprised. ] Grow some.

Trying to get into the club || MAURTIA FALLS
[ Steve is technically underage - he is 18 - and that means he can't get into clubs, but MF is known for not caring all that much, right? So of course he is going to try his luck when he can, but even then his luck isn't so good. Even though he shows off his tattoo and good looks, and hopes that will be enough to let him in,the bouncer at the door refuses to let him in ]

Don't care if you're an imPort, kid. Not 21 - no entry.

[ steve rolls his eyes ] You think kids my age aren't drinking? C'mon,man. [ and surprise, surprise, he still isn' allowed to go in. Maybe give the guy a hand? ]

Finally in || MAURTIA FALLS
[ He got in! It was hard and he had to do some convincing, but finally Steve is in the club and ready to party. He asks for a beer to start, but as the night goes he will probably get other drinks. Not too long after, Steve is dancing, drink in his hand, and chatting away and dancing with gusto. it has been a while since he went to a party and hey - this is pretty cool. Parties and clubs from the future are actually a lot of fun.

People approach Steve since he is an imPort, and they take pictures with him, offer him drinks, and even pull him to the dance floor to dance for a while. The life of a VIP, certainly. And whenhe is tired, Steve will retreat - go to the bathroom, and go to the club's balcony to relax for a bit. His hair is still impeccable, though, and like a true 80's kid, it's his pride and joy, so naturally he passes a hand through it to make sure it's all in the right place. ]

[Veronica is also 18, but unlike Steve, she has a carefully-forged ID declaring her to be Joyce Barrett and large sunglasses, so when she walks up to the bouncer she smiles at the bouncer and flashes the ID.]

He's with me. [It's a complete lie, but she hooks her arm around Steve's and pulls her sunglasses down just enough to catch his eye. The moment the bouncer looks down at her ID, she mouths play along. It's probably weird, because she looks way too much like a certain Jonathan Byers' mother in the neon light.]

[ when steve feels an arm wrapping around his, he is a bit taken back for a second, but he quickly gets into it and nods at her ] Hey, nice seeing ya-

[ he flashes a grin at Veronica and then at the bouncer, and apparently that is more than enough to let the two in. The music is loud and pretty deafening, but Steve still leans towards her to pretty much scream at her ear so she'll hear him ]

Hey! Thanks for the help!

Edited 2018-06-15 20:41 (UTC)

You're welcome! [It's all but a shout, because she has to be heard over the din of the nightclub.] Come on, let's go where we can hear each other better!

[And she starts to tug on his arm towards the bar, where some very stiff drinks await them.]

[ steve follows along, of course, more than happy to talk to a girl his age. It's true he isn't completely over Nancy and probably never will be, but a guy has to move on, eventually, right? And if a pretty girl wants to talk to him, he isn't going to say no.

Even if that pretty girl is... strangely familiar?

He heads to the bar, leaning forward and asking for "something strong". Which means they are probably going to give him some shots ]

M'Steve.

[She waves the bartender over, asks for a fruity cocktail instead of something strong. She wants to savor the taste, tonight, and hey—it's not like she and Reggie are exclusive, they're just. Not-friends with benefits. Never mind that Veronica sort of likes him better now.

She smiles up at Steve, tugs her sunglasses off. Under the club's neon lights, she looks like a younger Joyce Byers.]

Veronica. Sawyer. [She sticks her hand out.] I'm pretty good at forging IDs.

[ yeah he definitively knows this girl. he also kind of wishes he didn't because how fucking weird is this.

Is this some time thing getting messed up because of the Porter, as usual? ]

Uhm- so that your fake name, then?

Yeah, you're right, my real name's Molly Ringwald. [She's kidding, although her voice goes flat and deadpan, the way it does when she thinks someone's being a dumbass.] No—it's really Veronica.

[A beat. Then, slightly suspicious:] Why? Who do I look like to you? [She's pretty sure she's got a good idea what the answer is, but she still needs to confirm for herself. Maybe she's just jumping to conclusions, after all. That's happened before.]

[ Veronica. Really? Did Will's mother change her name when she was younger? it's not like Steve knows about Hawkin's adults lives.

But- well, maybe not? ]

Ah- you just remind me of someone, that's all. She's a lot older. Not as cute. [ aha, steve can flirt. Sure he can, and this time he wont feel bad about Nancy. It's time to move on, after all ~~probably~~ ]

Would you believe me if I said it wouldn't be the first time I've heard that? [She sighs, and picks up the cocktail that the bartender deposits in front of her.] You're not from Hawkins, are you?

[Because the last few people who mistook her for somebody else came from that one town, and she's starting to see a pattern there.]

You met the brats. [ he isn't surprised, they probably freaked out when he saw Veronica ]

Yeah, m'from Hawkins. You look like a woman who lives there.

[They absolutely did, it's ridiculous.]

I'm definitely not her. Sorry to disappoint. [She takes a sip of her drink.] For one thing, I'm from Sherwood, Ohio, 1989. For another, I've never actually heard of a Hawkins before I got here.

[It's unsettling, knowing that somewhere out there in this multiverse, there's a woman who looks like her. Or would look like her in a couple decades, if Veronica had been able to live that long.]

And I've met some of them. You might be the oldest person from Hawkins I've ever met.

[Eleven was simply intending to find Steve and see if he could show her around De Chima, but she wasn't expecting to find him demean a kid who'd fallen and scraped his knee. The hostility on his part takes her aback and she hesitates before approaching him once he's done with the boy. His friends seem amazed, but she's horrified. Sure, he's a bit surly at home, she hasn't seen him be that hostile before. Only once the group has run off to play does she step up to him and greet him.]

Hello, Steve. You just helped that boy? With your power?

[ Steve is left looking at the kids, hands on his hips, just waiting for them to fall again and start whining again and having to heal them again but his train of thought is stopped when he hears El. He turns to look at the girl - still hands on his hips, look he is trying to make an impression here - and gives her a nod and a small smile ]

Hey-

Yeah, i got magic hands or.... whatever you want to call it? [ he rises his hand ] I heal people. Mostly them [ the kids ] because they are always getting bruised up at the smallest thing. [ he rolls his eyes, looking back at the kids playing. For someone who makes it sound like such a drag, Steve sure has done this a lot ]

[Richie stops before stepping inside the entrance to watch through the fence this badass swing away at baseballs and attract the attention of a crowd of enamored onlookers. Wow, those are some skills right there. Some of the balls get stuck on... nails? On a bat? What the hell? He's not sure if that makes this guy more of a badass or more if an idiot.

But he's not here to watch. He's here to practice. So once he's paid the entrance fee, he walks out of the lobby and through the walkway toward each batting cage. It takes him some effort to push through the crowd, but he eventually makes it to the chain link fence and calls at this hotshot from the latched door.]

Hey! Are you on the clock or do I have to get some other asshole to show me around this place?

[ oh hell to the no.

When Steve sees this kid who is basically Mike Fucking Wheeler and you bet he is going to reply in the same coin. or would, if his reaction wasn't something else:

he stays there, staring at the kid for a while ]

Since when do you wear glasses, nerd.

[ He's taken to the balcony to get away from the noise. The lights and sound and music are all a good distraction, but it's hollow. Not exactly his scene. He's mostly here to drink- and it seems like he's not the only one.

A kid (he's got to be a kid) looking like a childhood flashback (even if he was just 14 in '84) leaning against the railings and drinking. And considering the wrist band? He's pretty certain that isn't just water in that cup.

Honestly, it's none of his business- and in his opinion, American drinking laws are fairly draconian. But, well, considering his current interest in imPort Children's Initiatives... Might want to say something

So he joins him at the railing, cane keeping him steady on his feet, as he finishes his whiskey. ]

I believe the bouncer needs to get his eyes checked.

[ Steve is having fun, and he has no plans on stopping, even when some dude approaches him with a cane. He isn't surprised to see old people (sorry David.........................) at the club, he is surprised to see them talking to him. ]

Yeah? For letting you in? [ he is joking, of curse. Steve shrugs ] They don't care all that much. [ that's a lie, the guy almost didn't let steve in ]

[ There's a wry little smile at that, and he leans against the railing, watching the crowd below. Above all the noise and all the energy, exactly where he wants to be. ]

For letting you in. You may be a child of the 80's [ Because, seriously, he has to be. ] but I'm guessing that when or where you came from involves you being under 21. Be glad I'm not a cop, you can be arrested in this state just for having that drink in your hand.

They'd have to arrest everyone in here, dude. [ there are so many kids under 21 in this place. but it's also maurtia falls and nobody cares.

which is nice when you are breaking the law ]

Which means that they'd arrest everyone here under 21 whether they're drinking or not.

[ But it matters little at the moment, he's seen the corruption in Maurita Falls. And he almost wonders why Baelish allows such rampant corruption under his watch.

He can take a few guesses.]

... So when did you come from? 1980s, I'm guessing?

[ honestly, steve doesn't think it's THAT obvious that he is from the 80's, but he also guesses everyone knows because they probably miss those times quite a lot. He likes them a lot more to these times, so he gets why anyone would want to go back to that ~~sure, steve~~ ]

'84. A good year. [ that is one big fat lie. ]

[ Spider-Man really isn't trying to creep on anyone, but he was sitting a couple stories up enjoying a coffee break when he witnessed the whole thing. Now he's hoped down onto a nearby streetlamp where he perches, casual as anything and also sideways. ]

I'm giving you a A on powers and...let's say a C+ on bedside manner. Or sidewalk manner in your case.

[ he isn't trying to creep, but it's still pretty creepy. Steve looks around for a moment, trying to find where the voice came from, and eventually finds fucking spiderman . In no way he is a fan - not a nerd, he will argue - but of course he has heard of him.

In all honesty, after meeting princess Leia, this shouldn't even be a surprise. but it still is ]

What the fuck. [ what else can he say? ]

And a B+ for your other manners. In fairness, you’re not going after me with a flyswatter or a giant killer robot, so I’m grading on a curve.

Edited 2018-06-24 22:16 (UTC)

I'm considering that. Or calling "stranger danger". [ is this really spiderman ? he has a feeling some weirdo could easily pretend to be spiderman in this place [

[ He holds up his hands in a placating gesture. ] Fair enough, I wasn't trying to get up in your business. Just came over to check that the kid was okay.

[ "Stranger danger," there's a phrase Spidey hasn't heard in years. Not (comparatively) unironically, anyway. Huh. ]

[Rua is at the batting cages, headphones in, trying to work on his 2-strike swing (why, he's not sure, it's not like he's trying to join any teams right now). He doesn't notice anything at first until he catches someone cheering out of the corner of his eye and it distracts him enough for him to totally whiff on the next ball.

He takes his headphones out and looks to see what the big deal is and holy crap, that guy's got a zombie killin' bat, that is a bat that can only be used for killin' zombies. And apparently, making girls swoon over you.

... ...damn. That's actually pretty cool.

Rua leans against the mesh separating the two batting cages and tries to think of something cool he can say so he will be as cool as this guy.]

Y'know, if you did that in a game, the catcher would just take the ball off the nail and throw to first base and you'd be out.

[He doesn't succeed.]

[ that was the saddest attempt at cool ever.

Steve, who places the bat against his shoulder, looks at the kid and smirks a little ] Does this look like a normal game? [ of course not. Normal bats have no nails either, so it's a bit silly to assume this will ever be used in a normal game ]

[He takes in a breath and raises a finger. The finger immediately wilts.]

No.

[Just. Just change the subject, maybe everybody will forget about it.]

Where'd you get that anyway, it looks like it's for smackin' zombies, not batting practice!

[ AH! Steve is clearly amused.

he won't forget that ]

It's my power. I can make bats show up out of no where. [ "bat summoning". Steve's bat disappears in thin air, and the next second, it shows up again. ] Pretty cool, uh?

... [Okay, well, yeah, that's pretty cool, but, also.] Just bats?

That's.

That's kinda specific!

Don't berate him.

[Eikichi is walking along when he had heard the same scuffle between kids and unlike Steven, arrived there less looking to heal and more looking to see what had happened - was it a case of bullying or something else?

Eikichi offers him a handkerchief instead.]

You okay kid?

["I am now thanks to the rude mister next to you." Eikichi looks back at him.]

You know he's right...but he's just usin' the wrong words. Don't fight back unless you need to, but make sure you show them what happens if they try to pick on you. Can you do that for me?

[From the way he's talking, he either has a lot of experience or he's really good with kids.]
