Video - Seelie/Unseelie

[He might have thought to lock it if he hadn't been so excited with his news.]

Oh my god! Okay, okay. So maybe this place isn't so bad. I got magic. That's apparently my gifty boon thing for getting my ass handed to me by the invading hoard.

[He pauses, blinking and grinning down at the locket.]

I'm actually living a video game now. I feel like I just leveled up. Now all I need's a familiar. But look. Look!

[He waves around a staff, then points the locket at the books that had arrived with the staff, symbols emblazoned on them and looking exactly like what they were; spell books.]

Dude, I'm a freaking magician. Wizard? Sorcerer? I don't really know yet, but I can do stuff. See?

[He'd already poured through part of a book and had memorized one incantation. He repeated it, the tip of his staff glowing before the comforter on his bed caught fire.]

Oh... uh, no. No, shit. No, wait I didn't, hey! Hey! Stop. Finito! FLAME OFF! FLAME! OFF!

[He drops the locket and the staff and goes to pull the comforter off to toss in the fireplace. Have fun watching that debacle.]

In the movies, sure, but if there's actual magic love potions in these books, that has be mean they work, right?

[Welcome to his logic, Isaac.]

You saying there's no one you want to make your little puppy eyes at?

[decked]

Not artificially, no.

[he's really not buying your logic, stiles.]

Why? Do you want someone to love you artificially? Because, by all means, go for it, if you do.

[teenyoda]

Who says it'll be artificial?

Besides, not all of us are blessed with good looks and enhanced reflexes.

[decked]

Anything that's made from a potion is artificial. It's just a drug that lasts a really, really long time.

[he shrugs, looking away for a moment. wherever stiles is going with this, isaac isn't too sure he wants to be involved.]

I don't know, man. I wouldn't. You're just asking for something bad to happen.

[teenyoda]

Isaac...

[He rolled his eyes and gave the teenager a look.]

Wow. And here's clear evidence that you don't know me at all. Like, at all.

[Not that Stiles was that surprised. Isaac had tolerated him at best. No reason the other boy should actually bother to get to know him.]

[decked]

[and he looks right back at him pointedly,]

You're weird and kind of stupid sometimes, but you're smart. That's all I need to know, don't you think?

[teenyoda]

No. I'd hope you'd realize that I shouldn't need to be the son of the sheriff to not be okay with basically handing out magic roofies to people.

Seriously.

[decked]

[he cracks a smile,]

You sounded pretty excited about it.

[teenyoda]

Well, yeah, in theory they're great. And wouldn't be bad to use as a prank at a low dosage or something. Like, making Peter fall in love with a troll or something, sure. That would be hilarious. But I wouldn't ever give it to a girl and then expect--

Just, no. That's not cool. Joke, yes. Actual way to get any play, no.
