"Vance Hopper?" Steve asks. "He's pretty cool. He can be kind of a dick though." Not that he can blame the kid. He's got too much baggage for anyone his age to be dealing with.
Now, moving on to the important shit. Delivering the Comprehensive History of Hawkins, Indiana and the Upside Down in the middle of a Halloween store feels kind of inappropriate, but Steve is committed. This is how it's going to be. If there are animatronic witch cackles punctuating his tales of demogorgons, then so be it.
"You might want to sit down for this," he starts, and gives her a moment. It's not like there's chairs here, the only place to sit is the floor but if she chooses to then he'll copy. Once they're settled, he continues, "Okay, so. Essentially Hawkins has an alternate version of itself full of things like that creep that got in your head. We call it the Upside Down. There's this whole big government coverup thing going on, Russia was involved at one point. Basically everything weird you've ever heard in town is because of this shit."
He feels like he's doing a decent job of it so far. It's not the most concise rendition of the story but he's still trying to be as to the point as he can about it. "Chief Hopper and Billy Hargrove didn't die in a fire. Starcourt Mall? Totally a cover for a secret Russian base. There was never any fire. It was all a monster we called the Mind Flayer. Oh! There's also a girl with superpowers. She can move stuff with her mind."
He decides to pause there in case she has any questions. It's... yeah. Hawkins, man. Who knew such a boring town could have so much crazy hidden underneath.
