[Hey, look at that. A step in the right direction. He was learning not to open his posts to the side that he was supposed to be fighting. And killing, if her royal glowiness had anything to say about it. Color him not impressed.

But, he was mentally digressing, the locket held in his hand and panned around his brand new shiny wizard's room.


He made sure to get everything in his little scan, showing off what looked like a chemistry set over on the table there and that glowing ball thing that hw as kind of avoiding because scary and everything that was just too cool for school about this room.]

Isn't this great? They gave me a room, totally warded and everything so I don't have to worry about causing earthquakes or setting anyone on fire. Well, outside of it. I could probably still set myself on fire. I'm trying to avoid that. Look, it even has my name on the door.

[Cue him going over and opening the door to show the stylized plaque that was adhered to the door with his name on it.]

Still not entirely impressed with being kidnapped and not being able to go home and the whole trying to kill me stuff, but this... goes a tiny way to making it better. Just a little bit. Ooh, look at this.

[The locket panned back over to a coat rack, where he'd hung up the cloak he'd found when he'd come in at first. It was a dark, dark red that had shimmery silver highlights when he moved it.]

I got a cloak. They're trying to make me a pretty pimp wizard. Hey, hey Radagast. Would that make me Stiles the Red?

[Have a beaming teenager as he turns the pendant around so he can grin into it.]

Comments

[baseborne]

Your glass beakers and tubes appear to be yet within that bubble. [Plus he totally doesn't trust a "magical safety bubble" tbqh.]

[teenyoda]

There's a warded circle here, see?

[He points the locket over at a cleared section of the floor with runes and stars and fancy shit all over it.]

[baseborne]

... Marks on a floor. [He casts the whole thing a very dubious look.] You are sure it works?

[teenyoda]

...

[He steps inside the circle and points his staff at the edge of it. It's large enough that if he stands in the center and holds his staff out, he wont breach the wards. It's a good seven or eight feet in diameter, so Stiles was good.

Then he babbled that string of words he'd done the first time, a jet of flame shooting out the tip of his staff, heading towards the room--

Only it stopped when it hit the edge of the circle, spreading out like Stiles was in an invisible sphere.]

Looks like it works to me.

[baseborne]

[Oh holy wow that is some magic.

It is also way better than the whole bubble thing from earlier.

Jon tries not to wear too much of a bug-eyed look over the display, but he doesn't really succeed.] Gods be good. [He takes a second to recover.] --I thought you said you were still like to set yourself on fire.

[teenyoda]

Well, I could. I mean. I don't know the range of that yet and the last time I set my bed on fire. So... I kind of need practice. Gotta fine-tune it so I can control the spray more and how long it lasts and how much it spews. Stuff like that.

[Hah. Okay. Yes. He was gloating now.]

[baseborne]

And you can cause earthquakes now? [dear Seelie monarchs please look at your life, look at Stiles, and look at your choices.]

Can I just say that I love the inner thoughts?

[teenyoda]

Maybe? I haven't tried. It's an elemental spell, so I could be able to find it in here. Possibly.

[Clearly the monarchs were the smartest people ever and should keep giving a teenager untold power and glory. Best idea ever.]

hahaha I always feel like I should apologize profusely for them tbh

[baseborne]

Best not, I think. Isn't fire destructive enough?

[Jon has no sense of adventure.]

Haha, no don't do that, they're great. =)

[teenyoda]

Anything's destructive if you use it the right way. Or the wrong way. Whatever.

[Jon... you're an old man in a young man's body.]

[baseborne]

[That's depressingly accurate actually.]

... Are you speaking from experience?

[Suspicious squinting.]

[teenyoda]

Now why would you go and ask something like that?

[Maybe. >>]

[baseborne]

That is not a "no."

[Stiles seriously what is he even going to do with you?]

[teenyoda]

It's not an anything. You're very good at picking up on non-answers.

[Um... keep him as a pet and bring him out for parties?]

[baseborne]

[Stiles would probably scandalize all the party guests.]

I have far too many younger siblings to miss that.

[teenyoda]

[He would. But it would be a party they'd remember forever. Yeehaw?]

Yeah, well... huh. I don't have any. I'm an only child and my non-answering goes a long way with my dad.

[baseborne]

You are not unpracticed at changing the subject either, it would seem.

[teenyoda]

This is true. The art of distraction... look at that. It's a bunny.

[No it wasn't. It was a fairy with a fur glove on its head jumping along his workstation.]

[baseborne]

[That definitely distracting. Jon stares for a good long moment before shaking his head.]

Fine, keep your secrets, then.

[:I just don't be destructive around Jon's little sister.]

[teenyoda]

[Which one? He could probably teach Arya bad things and Sansa... ahem. >>]

Secrets? Do I have secrets? Huh.

[baseborne]

[Arya 100% does not need any more encouragement and Sansa, no, nuh uh, Stiles you're going to need to check yourself before you wreck yourself around all that red hair.]

A man without secrets usually answers questions.

[teenyoda]

[It's the siren call of the red hair. He can't help it. He's lost. LOST, JON. SAVE H--, no, wait. Don't save him. She smells nice.]

Yeah? You got anything you feel like divulging, Mr. No Secrets?

[baseborne]

[omfg that needs to stop like right now even though jon can totally relate to a weakness for redheads (no ygrittes)]

You haven't asked any questions.

[teenyoda]

[Watches a Ygritte come in just to fuck with him. Ha. Ha. Ha.]

Exactly. So I guess we're at a stalemate.

[baseborne]

I said keep your secrets!

[Gods, but Stiles is impossible. (Also yes please he would die.)]
