[ 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.

... But what?

[heatmetal]

Nothing. Nevermind.

[ hmm. ]

Knowing world history probably won't do us any good.

[retromix]

I asked so I could get a vibe for the future. I mean, the present. Will you please trust that I know what I'm doing?

[heatmetal]

And there's the but.

[ but he doesn't sound mad about it. ]

Aye aye, captain.

[retromix]

I don't know what you're talking about. Can you please convince Hargrove to be of use?

[heatmetal]

[ glancing down at that conversation. ]

I'll do my devil best.

[ while just... Typing Stephen Strange's name in the search bar. ]

[retromix]

Thanks. I appreciate you.

[heatmetal]

[ don't get sweet on him when he's being a gremlin he doesn't know what to do with that.

But he'll send along what he's pretty sure is the right profile. ]

This him?

[retromix]

[ Oh. That was so fast! Colour him genuinely impressed. Steve hasn't entirely grasped how to use search bars for a variety of things beyond music, yet. ]

Hey, how did you —? Yeah! Looks like a sorcerer to me, but what do I know? You're the genius around these parts.

[heatmetal]

He's got the right vibe. Dark, broody, mysterious.

[retromix]

Like you?

[heatmetal]

You think I brood?

[retromix]

Oh, no, never. Totally my mistake.

[heatmetal]

No, see, I've thought about this. In this little party of ours, I'm the bard. I bring the levity and stat boosts. You're the paladin, you're the heart and soul. And Hargrove is our broody little dark wizard.

1/2

[retromix]

Fine, you're a bard, but you brood a little. I've seen it. Hargrove is not a wizard, that guy's like a ... wrestler or something.

[retromix]

You think I'm the heart?

[heatmetal]

A fighter, then.

And obviously, Harrington. The heart of the party keeps the band together, inspires everyone to be their best selves and not give up when things are the darkest. I'd say that describes you pretty well, wouldn't you?

[retromix]

If you say so.

[heatmetal]

I do, and I'm the authority.

[ and then steve picks that fight.

.... okay so heart of the party, but definitely not the one that should be in charge of morale. ]
