Experience life.
That's Grandma's wisdom' Zunni thought as his ravens landed around him in the parking lot of Hawkins High School, he arrived at the city last night and went to sleep on his new home- He was officially named Victor Zunni Vermont, grandson of Vanessa Victoria Vermont, a very rich old Italian lady! Thankfully he knew people would ask questions, so he had two of his Chimera servants as his... Caretakers, obedient caretakers. He made sure they had him registered at the local High School for the simple reason that he needed to complete his education, and even though they successfully falsified the necessary documents to make him a life in Alaska because it was the furthest away from others! 'Okay... Well, time to put my non-existent social skills to use!' He chuckled as he eyed the parking lot, seeing the several different cars around before he entered the High School, the halls were empty because he arrived at the almost end of the first period! It's nt his fault that he found out that there were tunnels below his city full of Demodogs!
He cleaned them off, of course, setting it on fire- But he could tell there were more coming while he was here, they were somehow returning to the Upside Down once he kills them? That's kinda cool not gonna lie! Nature was going nuts around this city, like a dying, screaming pig it was making a lot of noise inside his head- he could feel the plants close to the Upside Down being infected and withering from inside out. He hates it. 'Well... I thankfully arrived at October 30, so i guess I'll have my first Halloween experience here?' He was thinking about a good costume when he froze- He turned around and saw someone he knew: Jonathan Byers, and was that Nancy Wheeler? His green eyes darted to the girl beside them, Robin Buckley? Oh, there's also Steve Herrington- 'Interesting...' He recorded how they met, what his ravens could gather from while he was learning from the champions when all the Upside Down thing was going on the city (And still is):
-Information Starts-
The Demogorgon had left the Upside Down, the gate? The Byers house, Steve had recently broken up with Nancy after he accused her of cheating on him, Robin, Barbra's and Nancy's friend took er side in the story and called out to Steve when he refused to listen to Nancy's "bullshit"... "You're such an asshole." She said, making Steve confused- Wasn't Nancy the one cheating on him? She said she wasn't, but they've broken up already, so why does it matter? However, he couldn't stop thinking about it... He punched Jonathan really bad, and Nancy cried as she shouted she wasn't cheating on him, he should've listened to her at least, he could only think of his mother and father once cheating was in the table. Their relationship was destroyed by them cheating on each other- Well, that is st least what others think of.
In fact, his "parents" never were. They don't exist.
And the reason he got so mad at Nancy? Emotional Outburst of a kind... A special kind. Too much anger around can mess with him, y'know?
-Information End-
Well, that's the hazy information he managed to remember from what his ravens gathered around Hawkins, since he was away he couldn't keep his mind and focus on here while he was learning out there, so a lot of the information was lost to him! He knew of a few Hipsters in Hawkins who had a connection with nature and could tell it was sloely being corrupted and he also knew of one Medium who could feel the necrosis of the city from miles away. He also knew that the lab of Hawkins had gone out of business after his failed attempt at freeing the kids, and as far as he knows, none survived he ordeal... He feels a little guilty, but hopes their spirits are resting. 'But that One guy... He'll literally become a demon from another dimension before going to therapy.' The Upside Down was from the Outside, and since One was an Outsider (or Trespasser), it's not so hard to assume he's the one coming to try and corrupt the world this time!
For thousands of years Champions have stopped that same things from happening for years! He also did so, once... He fought and won against an invasion of Soggoths, those fuckers were a pain in his head, but his mind shield got stronger thanks to it. 'Oh, they're looking at me.' Well, when a 6'5 tall black haired guy keeps staring at you unblinking for the past minute and a half, you tend to freak out a little, even more so when he just smiles. "Okay..." Whispering to himself and feeling a bit awkward, a butterfly flew from the open window and landed on him, this one was not a piece of him but a real monarch butterfly that just... Flew here. "Oh, hello." he greeted the insect as it walked on his nose, opening its wings and just resting there like it was a mask he was using. The whole thing was weird for the unlookers, but it was a normal occurrence for Zunni, who just let the butterfly bee (pun intended) on his nose as he walked to class.
-Scene Cut-
"That was weird." Whispered the confused Robin as she looked at the weirdo who walked away with a butterfly on his face: "Have we seen that guy before?" She turned to look at the rest of their group, only to see Johnathan looking at the window the butterfly came from as it slowly closed itself, and Steve only to see him staring at the new guy as he stumbled in front of Billy Hargrove, the new King of this High school: "Oh... He's dead." Nancy whispered and Robin couldn't help but agree, Billy and the new guy stumbled upon each other, Billy falling and the new guy didn't even move: "Oh shit." That was impressive! Billy Hargrove is the known psychopath of Hawkins High School, every girl likes his bad boy persona and every guy is jealous of him but knows they'll most likely have their shit kicked out of them if they cross his way! "They're gonna fight, right?" Steve whispered, he was still sore and with some purple marks from the last fight he had with Hargrove, the guy was smilin' the whole time.
But to their (and everyone else's) surprise, the new guy took Hargrove from the ground, patted him down as if geting rid of dust, and said something to him before walking away with the butterfly now in his hair. 'That was... Weird.' Harrington scratched his left wrist, where his watch normally was but now stood a cloth bandage: 'He... I couldn't feel anything from him.' It was weird for Steven to not feel things from others, oops, did i say Steven? I meant Seven, it's weird for Seven to not feel things from others, even more in a situation of surprise or stress- He felt the sudden confusion and anger in Billy, only to be replaced by a sense of surprise and embarrassment before it settled on an increasing bubble of anger- that was until the guy said whatever he said to Billy popped that bubble if anger, leaving behind only confusion, embarrassment, and some kind of panic. It was starting to affect the already confused Steven, he felt those emotions as if they were his for a moment before he snapped the connection off, not wanting to steer his own emotions further than he needed to to know what Billy Hargrove was feeling.
"-even? Steven? Hello~?" He blinked, shaking his head before looking over at Robin as she smiled at him: "There you are! So, what'chu thinkin' of?" Steven just looked back at where Billy and the new guy once stood only to see that corridor empty, he sighed from his nose and said: "Nothing... It's just, i thought Billy was about to explode, but nothing happened, so I'm just surprised... I guess." He felt a small headache and a buzzing sound inside his head as they were walking to their next class, second period about to start- He turned his face just in time to see Jonathan looking at a butterfly by the window, a black butterfly- He was feeling confused, scared, and mostly:
Curious.
-Scene Cut-
Classes were... boring to say the least. Once you know shit, you can't lesrn it from others, and math is boring. As luck goes, Billy Hargrove shared Chemistry with him, Nancy Wheelers, and Robin Buckley! He could feel the eyes of the angry boy on him, he was deeply confusrd and maybe feeling curious or threatened. Why? Because after he patted him down, he said: "Sorry cutie." And walked away, since his gay ass couldn't help but flirt with a boy- and the way he reacted after means he must've liked it as well, even though he felt really embarrassed. Walking outside of the school he swears he could hear "Rock You Like A Hurricane" by Scorpions, he thought it was coming from his head for a moment before he saw the Camaro rushing away, his shared senses with the raven close to the car made it easier for him to hear it. 'Well, none of my business i guess.' He felt eyes on him, after all, new blood in a high school meant two things: The social structure of the school would shift and the new blood could become new bullying material.
But Zunni didn't give a single fuck.
He put on his headphones and started to listen to his music- 1983 was a year for rock, wasn't it? He listened to his mix of Guns N Roses and Scorpions, Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi, and of course Queen! He was walking back to his home, since he could use the time to listen to his songs and to scan the city with his ravens, he had a flock of ravens following him around so everyone just looked at him, he swears he saw one person even doing the cross with their hands as some of his ravens landed on his shoulder or head the rest flew ahead- He loved them, even if some of them were flesh of his flesh.
Once he started to listen to Beat It by Michael Jackson he was pretty much alone on the road, his head beating from one side to the other as he kept walking- He was also looking through the eyes of his ravens, and on the other side of the road he'd find a small carcass of a deer, hunted by something from the Upside Down because it didn't feel natural- And it was also half eaten, the guts of the deer were spread everywhere. He got distracted, so he did not see or hear behind him the speeding Camaro as the driver was having a small mental breakdown inside, he closed his eyws for a moment before he heard it and felt the impact-
As for Zunni? He just felt his body being thrown into the air, he was thrown so far and fast that he was confused as to how for moment- he even thought he was attacked by something from the Upside Down, but as his body spinned and his neck twisted in a very unnatural way, he saw his blood splatter the road as the camaro came to a halt a few meters away of him and saw the boy he met on the hallway of school earlier today get out with a panicked expression- He saw him, splattered against the asphalt with his neck twisted and probably broken: "Oh fuck..." He whispered as his hands came to his long curly hair, sweat and tears on his face: "I fucked up... I fucked up so much." He slowly went down to the ground and- "Well, not so much i guess."
The guy who he thought died, was not sitting on the ground and looking at him.
"Hi." He smiled and Billy couldn't believe his eyes- Fear curled inside his guts as he entered his car again and left, fast. "Oh. I guess that's an appropriate reaction?" Zunni sighed... He hopes nothing bad happens.
