[ Steve wakes up with a start — and a groan. It's sudden and a bit groggy and he's definitely disoriented, assuming he's in at least like three different places at once: his own bed, the RV, or some dream he still has to wake up from. But it's when he opens his eyes and stares up at the ceiling, heart still pounding in his chest, that he tilts his head and sees you. The room looking like it does doesn't seem to faze him in the least, like he's perfectly used to the way the décor is presented. If anything, it's sharing a room with a stranger that has him on edge. ]
Jesus Christ.
[ Whether you're staring back, or you have yet to wake up, it doesn't really matter, because either way he ... probably shouldn't be here. And he's remembering these ... snippets of a conversation. Someone speaking with him, something about a capital-C Curse ... ah, jeez.
He scrubs at his face. ]
Hey — uh. This is gonna be kind of a weird question, but you didn't just wake up from the wildest dream, did you? Talking to someone who called themselves the Mayor?
[ ... and once he's calmed down, and you've calmed down, it's time to get out of here. Not one to immediately jump to reading instructions, manuals, or really important letters, Steve makes a beeline towards the door, twisting the knob and making attempts to pull it open. ]
What the hell? The door won't open.
[ Thank you, Captain Obvious.
He turns to look in your direction. Clearly you're going to be the brains of this outfit and hopefully you've read the letter — congrats on your promotion in Team Cursed. ]
What now?
●●● MALL RATS — ;
[ The last time Steve Harrington was at a mall had been Starcourt, and while it started out kind of okay, save for the fact that sailor hats ruin everything, things kind of took a turn for the worst, real fast. There were Russians trying to open gates to the Upside Down, and there was torture and being drugged, and thinking he was actually going to die before a giant goo-monster made of people showed up and properly destroyed the place. ]
I mean, it's fine. [ #JustHawkinsThings, right?
He'll happily take the lead on wandering the mall, pausing to examine some of the shoes, or a shirt, or something that reminds him a little of some of the people he knows from Hawkins. Like the dopey cap that reminds him of Dustin, or suspenders that are definitely something Robin would wear. ] We had a mall just like this back home — with the stores and the food court. Whatever, it's not a big deal. But I refuse to work at that Polar Ice Cream place, okay? In fact, I'm gonna avoid that place all together.
[ You can always ask why, it's not like any of the stuff he's been through is a secret or anything. ]
Also? A hundred bucks isn't going to get us very far.
●●● WILDCARD — ;
[ ooc: steve is set from somewhere post-season 3, vaguely season 4-ish (haven't figured out exact canon points yet).
