But the blood on my hands scares me to death

Who: Steve Harrington [personal profile] acidwashjeans and YOU!
What: He's woken up from a canon update, which was kind of traumatic, and he's received a gift from the blessing basket, which is very traumatic
When: November 3rd - 10th
Where: His house, in town.

Content Warnings: Definitely spoilers for s3 of Stranger Things. Steve being visibly injured due to canon events. In some threads there will be talk of adolescent death, gore/body horror, will update as needed.

i. Home, close cr only or PM if you'd like your character to show up!

[ It's been a day or so since he woke up and Steve's in the kitchen making eggs. He's dressed in the dumbest outfit you ever saw and is talking to the fluffy dog sitting at his heels. ]

Can you believe it? He said I had to learn responsibility. Like, what did he think I was doing in school? Jacking off all day? God.

[ The dog barks, ears perked up attentively. There's bacon on the stove too. The dog wants the bacon. ]

Way to be an asshole to your only kid, right. I fought actual Russian soldiers and kept those two little snotnoses alive and helped save the world, but is he going to hear about it? No. [ It's a petulant 'no', making Steve scowls at the eggs until he notices the dog's tail wagging like it knows it's about to get fed.]

And don't look at me like that you got fed already this morning.

ii. Movie Theater

[ Halloween is over, but the theater in town is still showing some classic horror films (because you know what'll help you get over with your traumatic october? A nice viewing of The Thing, The Exorcist, or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre).

Not that Steve really cares. Standing behind the concessions desk, he's more concerned about keeping kids from sneaking in without paying and dealing with Betties who think their ten year old should be allowed into the adult-rated slasher fest that's about to screen.

He's also, strangely enough, not in the right uniform. His jaunty sailor outfit makes him stand out like a sore thumb. When you get closer you'll see he's also looking banged up. Thanks, Mother Russia.

Steve isn't shy about greeting anyone going in or coming out of movies. His job is boring and he finds himself missing the constant quips of his workmate back home. So he'll take conversation where he can get it. ]


Hey, how was it? Worth seeing?

iii. Spores

[ Steve's standing on a street corner in town, coughing up a lung. He's still dressed like a sailor.

There's a patch of fungi next to him and residual spores hanging around in the air.

That's it, that's the prompt. ]


iv. Wildcard

[ hit me up if you want to run something by me, at [plurk.com profile] sprakles! steve's around town doing all sorts of stuff, and for an entire week he'll have his Scoops Ahoy uniform on. ]

[ it's been a weird week. there's been cocoons and sickness and people going away and coming back and whatever else, and jack had probably been sleeping the night over with either mike and will or billy or just lingering around and waiting for steve to come out of the creepy vein double-cocoon.

either way, he wakes up to the smell of bacon and the sound of someone having a rant at someone else who's probably not an actual person. shuffling his way to the kitchen, jack discovers he's right, and hangs out in the doorway to take in the last part of steve's tirade while squinting at his butt. why is the fabric clinging to his butt so much more than it usually is?

because those shorts look like they're 3 sizes too small. ]


Steve, why are you wearing Will's shorts?

[ dude, you came back weird. ]

[ that explanation doesn't seem to clear it up for him any further, jack's brow furrowing deeper, only shifting to tilt his head to the opposite side instead. ]

You joined the Navy... ?

[ jack hadn't thought military uniforms ever included shorts, but hey, maybe the 80s were weird. They were weird enough about other stuff, like mullets and man thongs. ]

[ Billy didn't even think the strange webs he's been waking up covered in would have any effect on Steve. He doesn't want to stare at Steve's body in that hideous, pulsing cocoon of veins, so he's left him well enough alone, figuring he could just get up whenever he came back.

Maybe he wouldn't know too much. Maybe he wouldn't have seen everything yet. Or maybe he'd know even more than Billy did.

Billy's apprehensive about talking to him again, until he hears that muffled cry and busts into Steve's room, nearly knocking the door off its hinges. With his enhanced strength, it's easy enough to start tearing the webs away. Thanks, Mind-Flayer, you were useful for one thing. ]


Steve, are you alright? [ In a moment of panic he actually calls him Steve and not Harrington. To his face. How embarrassing. ]

[Louis is still getting used to seeing movies again. It's been a long fucking time since he got to go to a genuine movie theatre and the novelty hasn't yet worn off. He's coming out of The Thing when Steve catches his attention. His eyebrows raise, very slowly at the get-up, before he shrugs. ]

I mean, it was okay? They kinda lose their edge when you live in a constant Horrorshow, but it's not the worst thing I've seen.

[No. No. He has to ask. He can't just leave it. He gestures at the outfit.]

Is this something they make you wear to work here? Like is it a requirement? Or did you just feel especially nautical today? I'm not judging... except yeah, maybe I am judging a tiny little bit.
teamfun: ('Cause it's gone by the morning light)

[personal profile] teamfun 2019-11-02 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, it's kinda depressing this place is so fucked up that explanation makes perfect sense. Sometimes, I think we should be more concerned about that than we actually are.

[Still, shitty luck, pal.]

I mean... it probably could've been worse. How many "ahoy sailor's" have you had so far?

[ Jonathan comes in the front door with a bag of groceries. It's not that he doesn't trust Steve to keep everyone fed or anything, it's just that he's a worried parent figure, okay.

He catches about half of Steve's word vomit in some weird sort of deja vu. The last time he'd caught Steve talking to himself had gone...well, terribly, and he's still trying to just forget that fucking disaster.

He should probably just leave, but instead he sets the groceries on the counter.
]

Steve, you're...

[ Oh, Jesus, that fucking outfit. Luckily Jonathan isn't the type of person to laugh about it. Mostly he's just confused. ]

Why are you wearing that?

[ Obviously he saw it back home but this isn't home. Some other weird shit is about to happen, isn't it? Does weird shit ever stop??? ]
capturethemoment: (for another day)

[personal profile] capturethemoment 2019-11-03 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Jonathan looks sceptical, one eyebrow raised. He's not about to make fun of that stupid uniform or anything, because look, he's not about to make fun of most people for anything anyway. But especially knowing it's not happening by choice, it would be mean, and he's standoffish but he's not mean. ]

That's a shitty side-effect.

[ Hang on. ]

Wait, welcome back? Did you go somewhere?

[ Oh, shit. ]

Did you go home?

[Look, he's been really worried, so sue him. One of your friends family people winds up in a goddamn cocoon coma, and it's going to throw you off your game. But that doesn't mean he's going to go around admitting it to Steve's face once he's back and... cooking bacon? While talking to Frodo?]

What the fuck are you wearing?

[It's a half-hearted insult, made even less damaging by the fact that Mike is still a ghost, still sunken-eyed, still stuck in the ratty pajamas and displaying the living room quite brilliantly through his abdomen. He hangs around the doorway like he's waiting to be asked inside.

He missed you, Steve.]
micycle: (only a downstat)

[Mike frowns, but it's fidgety and half-hearted. He takes another step inside, feet still an inch off the linoleum.]

You went home.

[And somehow it feels differently than finding out about Billy. It feels closer, because he knows Steve, and Steve knows him and his friends, and he'll have the whole story. Mike's stomach is already twisting in sick anxiety. He heard "Russian soldiers" and "saved the world", and he can see the gruesome bruises on the guy's face, and he has a sudden, desperate need to know the rest.]

Is everyone okay?

possessum: (at the moon)

ii. Movie Theater

[personal profile] possessum 2019-11-03 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's not the sailor outfit that has Peter freezing in his tracks.

It's the way the other teen's face looks. It's— too familiar, like seeing his mirror reflection from not long ago. When Peter woke in Deerington, he was battered and bruised and leaking various bodily fluids from his face. He woke with something dark and fretful inside him.

And then he'd met another boy who seemed to reawaken here in a similar bad condition. Another boy with something... inside of him. This something was different from Peter's something — the boy had black veins and eyes and felt like ice to touch.

But there seems to be a bit of a trend, and Peter's initial reaction to seeing the banged-up employee at the movie theater is that he's another fellow possessed kid.

The tall youth jolts — practically convulses — in surprise, immediately spilling the majority of the popcorn he'd been carrying. The way he's looking at Steve is as though he's a monster — dark eyes wide and mouth trembling, just staring at him. Buttery greasy popcorn all over the carpet (guess who's probably going to have to clean that up).

Who allowed the hazard that is Peter Graham to come to the movies? ]
possessum: (𝟎𝟒𝟒)

[personal profile] possessum 2019-11-08 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ When the other boy hops over the front desk, Peter visibly flinches — but doesn't move any more than that. He looks like he's being held at gunpoint as he stares at Steve, eyes widening further.

'Hey, uh. Can you stand back a bit?'

It takes him a bit to process that. Then he blinks and stumbles back, finally broken from his initial spell, though the terror hasn't left his expression. ]


Your f—face. You're hurt. [ Helpful, Peter. But fuck, this feels too familiar. ]

Who did... Did someone do that to you?

Huh?

[Considering he didn't actually buy a ticket to see a movie and has been loitering amongst the crowds heading in and out of the theater with his hoodie over his head, the question catches him off guard when he works up the nerve to come near Steve. Okay, so he doesn't remember everything about when he met Steve in girl form a handful of days ago because he was drunk, but he remembers enough to know it got weird, and he may or may not have messed with the guy... and may or may not have told him who he really was in that time frame and kept it up anyway.

But either way, he owes him his wallet back at least, so... he quickly fishes it out of his pocket and places it on the counter.]
