Who: Steve Harrington & OPEN (that means you).
What: Just ~stuff~. Clothing scavenging, working on an ice rink so there are monster-free places to skate.
When: Early July.
Where: Milton.

Content Warnings: TBD.



Steve's settled into life in Milton pretty well since he arrived a couple months ago. Sure, the cold part sucks balls (like, so many balls), but as far as weird shit happening all the time and General Monster Fighting? Yeah, that's pretty normal for him. So Steve can sort of get past the way he feels like he's freezing his ass off all the time.

It's hard to find a routine in Milton, though. There's no watching television when things get boring, there's no driving around, there's no anything. Which means Steve can be found bumming around Milton, filling time the best he can. One of his favourite pastimes is looking through what's left of the clothes. Most of the actual stores are picked through, and Steve wants to be respectful of people still to come through, but he pops into the unused houses now and then to see if anything's left over. Most things stay where they are. If he finds something that might fit him or Eddie, he'll stuff it into his backpack. And if you don't catch him scavenging the houses, maybe you see him carrying a bundle towards the community hall. At least this way there's good quality stuff there for the next time new arrivals come through.

Otherwise, Steve can be spotted almost daily working on his latest Labour Of Love: an ice rink. Working on teaching Eddie to skate has made Steve realize that the threat of a lake monster or whatever underneath maybe isn't great. Which is fine. It's not like Steve has anything better to do with his time, so out behind his home he shovels out the general shape. He'll gladly accept any help or any company while he shovels, or he'll take an extra pair of hands to carry out buckets of melted snow to start laying down the ice. It's a work in progress, but he's pretty pleased with how it's going.

"The basin is usually safe..." Well, no, there was that weird woman or whatever. "Well, safer than the lake. I think Fraser skates on it sometimes. But you're right, somewhere inland would be safer."

"...I understand that. There's only so much to do around here before it starts to get old. I've reread the same books like ten times by now."
