Hawkins Park | Everyone
Character Name: Amy Peterson
Open To: Everyone
Summary: Summertime has arrived in Hawkins and it’s the perfect temperature for outdoor events held in the park. Tonight a big screen is being put up and a projector will be showing Raiders of The Lost Ark. People are encouraged to bring their chairs, blankets, cuddlebuddies, etc. to lounge on and enjoy the movie. Snack stands already line the walking paths before sundown, so you’ll be able to grab yourself a soda, popcorn, or pretzel.
Content Warnings: Nothing in particular

Movie Night In The Park
1. Sustenance Ah, yes. Food! Unless you’re utterly compelled by the subject matter of this movie (you like men with whips…?) or you’re completely wrapped up in the company of the person you’re with, you’re probably going to get some fierce munchies. Feed the beast. Go buy yourself some popcorn before the movie starts. Get yourself a soda.
2. Getting Cozy The movie hasn’t started, but people are staking out the best spots for watching the movie. Where’s your spot? That little hill? Closer to the screen? Parked in the lot behind the speakers? Are you watching this movie from up in a tree? No matter. Take your blanket or chair and sidle up to your friends or your date. Claim your perfect spot.
3. Pay Attention! …Or Not. It’s Indiana Jones! Aren’t you enthralled? Okay, maybe you’re more enthralled by the idea of your lips touching your date’s lips. Or maybe you can’t shut up, narrating Indy’s every single move to your friends as the plot unfolds on the screen. Either way, there are bound to be people shooting you disapproving glances.
4. Roll Credits! The only light in the park are the moon and the stars in the sky. The screen has gone black and the movie is over. It looks like all responsible young folk are to be returning to their homes and going straight to bed. Not everyone in Hawkins is all that responsible, though, and they might have more interesting plans in mind than heading off to bed.

Amy Peterson | OTA
As she does at most events, the first thing Amy does is head for the food stands. She has her runner’s metabolism to thank for her lean build, or else she would be built like a house. Who can ever really resist a good soft pretzel right out of the oven, anyway? She tucks the twisty bread treat between her elbow and ribcage so she can take the jumbo cherry coke from the vendor with both of her hands.
“Uhhhh…” She pauses, having no hands left to take her fifty cents in change back. “Keep the change?” Her lips pull into an awkward but hopeful smile. The vendor rolls his eyes and nods. Amy thinks she’s in the clear until she turns and bumps right into the next person in line, spilling a little of that cherry coke on both of them.
“Ffff--!” Amy manages to cut off the curse before it ever fully forms. She looks to the person with an apology showing clearly in her eyes.
2.
Amy has scouted out the perfect spot hours in advance, but her laissez-faire attitude about seizing it for herself leads to a couple of newlyweds sitting right where she wanted to be, looking very comfortable. Instead, she finds a lump of ground to lay down on, propped up on her elbows so she can see Indy’s gorgeous face.
There’s plenty of room all around her, enough so she can stretch out and really relax. What remains of her soda is balanced on a tree stump and as people begin to settle in for the movie she begins to polish off her soft pretzel.
4.
Lots of kids her age drive their own cars. Even more drive somebody else’s car. Amy drives a beat up Volkswagen, her Baby, the one thing she has left from Las Vegas that doesn’t remind her of anything bad. When the movie is over she climbs into her car and is ready to head home when she sees someone on the edge of the parking lot having issues starting their own car.
She frowns. It weighs on her mind for a moment whether or not she should interfere, but she decides that she would want help if she were in their shoes, so she rolls down her window and pokes her head out.
“Hey!” She yells over to said person. “Do you need a hand?”
