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.]

A taste I shall perhaps never acquire, then.

[teenyoda]

Hey, you never know. Maybe we'll start a lacrosse team here. Or... something else. I don't know.

[Probably not, but hey, a guy could dream.]

[steeledskin]

Is that your taste, then? This...lacrosse.

[teenyoda]

Well, it's what I play at school, yeah. It's not so bad. A little on the tackly side sometimes, but nothing like football.

[steeledskin]

...I would know how it's played. When I am returned, perhaps you and I might meet a moment and you could explain it to me?

[teenyoda]

I'd like that. I mean, if you're sure you want to hear me ramble on about lacrosse. I'm not the best player or anything, but it's an okay game.

[steeledskin]

I want to say I am an excellent listener, Stiles.

[ once that wasn't so true. she might have rolled her eyes and told someone to shut up. but these days...so long as someone was sitting at a comfortable distance and telling her about things that did not hurt her, she was eager to open her ears. ]

[teenyoda]

Well, then... I guess we can have a little lacrosse chat when you get back here. Just make sure you tell your sourfaced grump in shining armor to make sure you make it in one piece.

[steeledskin]

-- Yes. Of course. I'll...I'll try.

Thank you.

[teenyoda]

Hey, I don't know how long it's going to take you to get back here, so... if you ever get bored of Sir Scowls, give me a call on here, okay? At least it'll let me know you're okay.
