Stranger Things Have Happened: Hawkins City Council, 1986

It is the summer of 1986 in Hawkins, Indiana. The once-small town known for its simplistic charm and quiet suburban life is quickly overshadowed by a string of eerie and supernatural events that continue to plague those living within Hawkins. Recently, residents have begun reporting instances of strange behavior seen within members of their community. When interviewing the reported cases, the affected victims have described themselves as going through intense as well disturbing hallucinations, which many have stated they felt as if they were re-living their darkest fears. This odd ""disease"" appears to be fatal as well, as there has been a growing correlation between the reported victims and the disfigured bodies found throughout this once heartwarming little town.

In light of these harrowing events, it is your responsibility as a board member of the Hawkins City Council to act swiftly and decisively when addressing the concerns of the ongoing situation. With your position, you have an obligation to figure out who is behind these attacks while also uncovering the secrets within Hawkins. Although it may be argued secrets such as these should never be revealed. As a board member, you must work with the rest of the council to figure out the best way to utilize and split current resources, how to balance collaboration with law enforcement agents while maintaining transparency, what actions should be taken to ensure mass hysteria or fear-mongering doesn't fall upon the citizens, and much more.

Delegates must work together as a unified council to navigate between the physical impacts of the supernatural and the selfish actions of mankind. The actions a delegate takes within this committee have the influence of a constant ripple effect. One wrong move as a committee may lead to the press judging the Hawkins City Council's legitimacy or even have consequences that threaten to unravel the very fabric of reality.

With the rise in fatalities, time is of the essence. Will the council act fast enough to uncover the root cause of these supernatural occurrences? Or will members put their trust in those with bloodied hands? The residents of Hawkins look to you to ensure their safety and the safety of those around them. It is your duty to take command.
