The Official Story ⸻ The Munson Murders ended on March 27th, 1986. Hawkins, Indiana had been the site of many tragedies in the early- to mid-1980s - disappearances in 1983, including a death caused by a toxic waste leak; a mysterious rot in 1984; the Starcourt Scandal in 1985 - but the Munson Murders would go down as the worst of them. Twenty year old Edward Munson used the cover of a high school Dungeons and Dragons club to kill three. He would have killed a fourth, but he was stopped at the last minute by Jason Carver and the Hawkins High School basketball team. At the time it there were rumors that the murder has been influenced by a cult. Years later most agree that that idea was a result of the satanic panic and the paranoia that had already permeated Hawkins. The official story included nothing paranormal. Edward Munson had simply been homicidal trailer trash, manipulating teens for his own means. The Truth ⸻ Max Mayfield had been saved just in time. Vecna was distracted long enough for his ritual to be stopped. For the gates to be closed. On March 27th, 1986, the Upside Down was defeated...for now. For now. Everyone else believed that 1986 was the end of Hawkins' oddities, and on the surface it was. Those who knew the truth waited...and waited...and waited. They grew up. They moved out. In a way, they almost moved on. Became normal people with normal lives and normal families. The looming anxiety would never go away, but after 39 years it's easy to almost believe. Believe that maybe they really had saved the world and the Upside Down had been fully locked away. Of course, they should have known better than believe. Once again something has come for Hawkins, and this time they won't be there to protect it.

First question: When does a child become a weapon? Maybe it was when they were carried through the door of Hawkins National Laboratory. Brought through a psychological barrier that stripped them of their humanity. Or maybe it was before that. When drugs mutated them in the womb? When their mothers signed up for the program that would eventually give them their powers? Maybe it was even further back, beginning when the Indigo Program was only a spark in Doctor Martin Brenner's mind. Or maybe that was the wrong way to go about it: maybe there was a process. The door began it. The tattoos, the shaved heads, the powers - they all continue it. They, as alchemy turned lead to gold, transformed child to weapon. Second question: When does a weapon become a child? Ten was only twelve. Twelve long years of testing and dehumanization. Papa always seemed to like her the least. She was a replacement. A well timed copy of test subject number Nine, who had been broken years before Ten was even born. But what good is a replacement that is weaker than the original? So they pushed her harder, punished her worse, did everything to show her what she was worth: nothing. Nothing except the ways they could use her powers (One day she would be replaceable. One day there would be another.) ---- Stranger Things season 1 - 3

Everyone's the main character of their own story? Dan Wheeler called bullshit. Some people are the main character of everyone else's stories. And they were suspecting the entire town of Hawkins, Indiana, was in the second category. That had be the only explanation for why their lives ran like a sitcoms way, way past it's prime. Dan wouldn't say they preferred a horror movie. They'd just strongly imply it. --- Stranger Things Apply Fic Season 1 - ???
