[ The way Steve backs away from the phone as it records and his hands find his hips as he straightens gives off Unimpressed Vibes but he can't tell one way or another if this thing is broadcasting. He trusts it is. Pressed the livestream option, for what it was worth. He murmurs to himself for a moment, checking the set-up. ]

Alright, so not that different from making a home video, it just ... transmits right away. Very cool.

Uh, hi. Hello. I think this is "streaming" now? [ Like in Ghostbusters when the streams are crossed? Right? Damn. He's got this. ] Yeah, let's do this.

Name's Steve Harrington. Me and some of my [ doesn't even pause here, well done, ] friends got pulled into this dimension and we're kinda used to the whole other worlds thing but we've never been to the future before.

Can someone who isn't a total jackass and won't waste our time please fill us in on whatever's happened since nineteen-eighty-six? That's when we're from. Thanks. Also, does anyone know how dead people can come back to life here? Is it a magical spell or a friendly curse put on them or something? Asking for reasons.

... Yeah, okay, bye.

Hey, at least you got the whole "other worlds exist" thing outta the way already, huh? I think that probably makes it easier...

So it was 1986 where you came from?

[ WHOA THAT WAS FOREVER AGO in his head. He wasn't even born until the 21st century, get ready to feel old, Steve. ]

You realise that, like, that's a whole more than 30 years you're asking for updates on, right?

[ The magic question is harder to answer. ]

I don't think we really know about how the dead people coming back thing works.

[ He knows it does and tries not to think about it, because then he'd have to think about his own losses too much, and...nah. ]

It's not a curse or anything as far as I know, though. You might wanna talk to Dr. Stephen Strange about it. He might have theories. He knows a TON about magic.

[retromix]

Hey, man. Peter? Those thirty years ago were literally last month for me, so. Thanks. I'm a dinosaur, I get it.

[ Whoa, what was that about — ]

Oh my God, does the doc have some kind of DeLorean?

[tinglesense]

Right, sorry. I know. I just meant it's gonna take a long time to explain, so if there's a narrower range of info you're looking for in that timeframe it would help. You know?

[ He IS trying to help!

The idea of Dr. Strange with a Delorean is too funny. ]

Oh, man...I wish. Nothing like that, though. He's a sorcerer. Um, like, he uses magic. And he knows about the multiverse -- the existence of other worlds and stuff. So if anyone knows about the death thing, he probably does or he knows who else to talk to.

It hasn't. It hasn't been that long.

[ sorry he's laughing at you. ]

Oh this is going to go so well.

[retromix]

Joke's on you, Munson, I already have the name of a wizard.

[ A doctor. A sorcerer-doctor. It's Doctor Strange. ]

Buddy, we're all from different universes here. Asking what's happened since '86 is gonna get you a lot of well-meaning but completely unhelpful answers.

[retromix]

... I'm sorry, are you a talking pig called Ham?

Eugh. Get off your lazy ass and help me look up a Doctor Strange, that's his name.

This isn't exactly what I was thinking of, but thanks. I think.

Most of the people on here from Earth are under 25 and from the 2010s or something like that. You’re about to be destroyed.

[Local man who actually lived through the eighties and has met the children and their memes is well aware of this fact! Also you can definitely see the robot arms, because he's holding his phone with one of them.]

I got here from 2004. Is there anything in particular you want to know about?

[retromix]

The 2012 thing? Parker mentioned we were all supposed to die but didn't. That's ... giving me mixed feelings.

[ This guy might be part-robot but he is also the closest thing to a Real Adult, so. ]

I was just trying to build up a general view of how world events play out, sir. Mr. Octavius.

[demigoth]

[ Nico doesn’t have a cellphone, but luckily play/pause stop hasn’t changed in decades. ]

Someone would have to bring them through the Doors of Death. The spirits in Asphodel are lucky to know their names. I don’t think they’d make it alone.

[ Like all pallid teenagers just matter-of-fact come out with that. ]

[retromix]

[ That's honestly more than he knew five seconds ago. ]

What are the Doors of Death, kid?

Not sure how much help we can be with the history lessons, given the whole multiversal thing, but if our pop culture is similar, then you're gonna have a lot of great movies to catch up on!

[retromix]

Recs are always welcome.

This place brings people back from the dead?

[He's paler than usual. This is a feat, because he's pretty pale to begin with. All that wearing a mask he used to do as the Golden Guard.]

And they're the original. With their memories and everything?

Instead of it bringing them back, but as someone else.

[Very vague. And slightly ominous.]

[He doesn't like the sound of it. Like, great for the original person, sure, but things like this tend to have a price. For instance, with Grimwalkers, the scales are balanced out by the fact that a Grimwalker is more of a copy instead.]

Greetings, pineapple pizza. [She forgot to ask his name when they met at the cellphone store, so that is what she'll call him, for now]

I think I may be from too far into the future to give you a history lesson. Approximately four hundred and ninety five years too far.

Are you dead? Or are you attempting necromancy?

[retromix]

That's raising the dead, right? No, I'm not doing that.
