Summary: Eleven wakes up in Wonderland. It's fine. Everything is fine.
The Story:

[the last thing she remembered was stopping the demogorgon. disintegrating it into nothing … didn't she die? she was so spent, and it took so much of her, she thought that was the only way it could end. but instead of the cold, dark, dampness of the upside down, or simply the nothingness of being dead, she found herself here. wherever here was.

as she takes in her surroundings, she realizes she's surrounded by books. she doesn't really care about books — she can read, sort of, but giving her a proper literary education was never really a priority in hawkin labs. what she does know about books in general though, is that the best ones are big and heavy. and that is why she starts grabbing the lengthier hardcover tomes off the shelf without so much as really glancing at what they are. because in a corner, she's … building a fort out of books??? or at least a sizable small collection. to chuck at people's heads.]

[she just stares at him with a series of progressively more and more confused faces, bless.]

[chocolatepudding]

[ Okay, he can do this. Think Dustin, think! ]

Like this.

[ And he stands up, takes his had off, and proceeds to make the grossest retching noises he possibly can, complete with elaborate gestures to mimic puke. ]

[likeseggos]

[o-oh.]

Oh. ["gross" is what that sounds like. coming from the girl who has a nosebleed every five minutes, w/e. it's different, ok.] I understand.

[chocolatepudding]

[ He does it once more, just because he thinks it's funny, and even does a little fourish and a bow. ]

I'm the best at Charades, right? Oh. That's a game, and it--nevermind. It's not important.

You got anything set up or have you just been fortifying this place with books?

[likeseggos]

I have a room. [is that what he's asking?? maybe???]

[chocolatepudding]

Good. That's one less thing you gotta worry about. This place is mental but at least you've got food and you're gonna stay warm.

The best thing about this place? No bad men. You don't have to hide.

[likeseggos]

No bad men. [she repeats, thinking about that and what it means. no one coming to get her. not having to hide and constantly run. she could just be a girl. she wouldn't have to use her powers unless she wanted to. (and she likes to, sometimes. her powers are a part of her. but she wouldn't have to be a weapon.) she could eat all the eggos she wants.]

Good.

[chocolatepudding]

Right? Good.

It's gonna be perfect, Eleven. And soon the others'll show up, since you showed up, and we can be one big group again.

[likeseggos]

I'd like that. I miss Mike.

[chocolatepudding]

So do I. Maybe not like you do, though.

[ That's just gross. ]

[likeseggos]

[her head tilts slightly with confusion.] Because you've known him longer?

[chocolatepudding]

No, not that. It's 'cause we're different. [ That seems to be a good explanation. ]

Have you seen the whole mansion yet? You wanna go exploring?

[likeseggos]

[perfectly willing to let it go] Yes, I would like that.
