I've been

busy.

It's difficult to buy groceries when Earth is constantly under threat by multiversal beings.

[ Also he's been lazy whenever he gets spare time to himself. ]

[verbalized]

Hopper does it. [Steven, you are talking to a girl who does this on the regular. Granted she’s a child with less responsibilities and she doesn’t possess an Infinity Stone, but STILL. She’s on to you.]

[mrdr]

You forget Hopper is a much better man than I am.

[verbalized]

I don’t think that.

[mrdr]

Well.

He's at least better at errands than I am.

[verbalized]

I guess so. Do you need me to make a list? sometimes I give him one

[mrdr]

I'd actually appreciate it.

[verbalized]

Okay. This was the last list I sent Hopper.

eggos [First and most important.]
jam
bread
hamburger
buns
fruit loops
broccoli you made me put this on the list
Cheese
spaghetti
tomato sauce
milk
chicken nuggets
we are out of ketchup
maybe more cereal??
donuts or ice cream

[mrdr]

[ It's actually a very impressive list. Thinking on what he'd written down, Stephen only remembers "te". He hadn't even managed the 'a' at the end. ]

Thank you, El.

Do you eat the spaghetti with the tomato sauce and cheese?

[verbalized]

you’re welcome.

the cheese was for the broccoli. but we have the shaky kind you put on pasta and sauce

[mrdr]

You don't cook your broccoli in butter?

[verbalized]

I don’t cook.

[mrdr]

Neither do I.

[ He just had Gushers for breakfast, for Christ's sake. ]

I just don't think I've ever eaten cheesy... broccoli before.

I can't even remember the last time I've had cheese. God.

[verbalized]

Hopper says it’s just frozen broccoli and nacho cheese from the chip aisle

I don’t think he wanted to admit that

[mrdr]

He's too nice not to.

[verbalized]

We will make you some next time you’re in Hawkins

[mrdr]

I'd like that.

I'll bring you some Trix. If you like Froot Loops, you'll love those.

Steven is such a good not!dad ;;

[verbalized]

Trix are for kids! :)

he has to keep tabs on the little dimension-protecting psychic warrior ok

[mrdr]

I know you are, but what am I?

i love it ngl

[verbalized]

you’re supposed to be an adult! but I think that’s why I like you.

I AM SO GLAD i love this cr too ;_;

[mrdr]

I aim to please.

[ Besides, what Stephen's learned since becoming a sorcerer is that when you have powers, it's better to think like a kid than a grown-up. Reality the way adults see it -- limiting and black and white -- tends to get in the way of achieving any true magical potential. ]

You're pretty cool yourself, El. Maybe it's just rubbing off on me.

me, too. we need all the heart warming things after iw

[verbalized]

me?? but you already know how to use your powers. I’m still learning

[mrdr]

Just because I know how to do things doesn't mean I'm not done studying. With things like this, the more you know the more you end up wanting to learn.

Powers offer limitless possibilities, as long as you have the imagination to keep finding new ways to use them.

[verbalized]

you mean I can do more?

[mrdr]

Exactly.
