closed starter for @upsidedownism (jonathan byers) in the woods near the byers-hopper residence
The description of what was going on at the farms was sticking in Eleven’s mind. It was the black sludge. The same that was coming from Christopher Nash. They knew something was going on and it had to be something coming from the Upside Down. And with the storm not too long ago with the demobats present, they knew something was coming and they still felt so unprepared. There was a part of Eleven that wanted to go to the farms and look at it all. Investigate what was going on. However, they knew Hopper was still out there looking for himself. He hadn’t been home this afternoon and when going into the void, they saw him there and looked as much as she could before getting worried someone would come into their room. Now, though, they were alone in the house since everyone was out at work or doing something else so El figured now was good to go out and practice.
Grabbing their coat, walkie-talkie, and a bag that had some snacks and things in there, they headed out of the house and down the path they usually took to the woods. It wasn’t too far from the house but enough where she couldn’t see it and none of her family would be able to see her either. Or anyone else from around them. Eleven sat down their things and started lifting one of the falling trees when they heard a snap of stick and dropped it before turning around quickly with their hand out, ready to throw any danger that was coming up back when they saw it was just Jonathan. “Jonathan!” Their voice was surprised and they put their hand down quickly. “What... What are you doing out here? I thought you were at work.”
