[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.]

[ She listens, thinking, musing. She wouldn't take it back, probably. She died protecting her friends, and if she was gonna go, that's how she wanted to. But at the same time, if she could go back, make it so that situation had never occurred at all, that any of them would never had had to fight the nogitsune the way they did? Yeah, she'd probably change that. ] If that were something possible, I'd be right there behind you. But if it was exactly the same all over again, Stiles, I... I don't think I would. Even knowing that'd it'd happen.

[teenyoda]

I wouldn't let you. Sorry, Allison, but... you're kind of important to us. All of us.

[Though the name 'Scott' was implied as the majority of the us, even though he knew they'd both moved on. First loves would always be first loves and he didn't begrudge either of them that.]

[overdraws]

[ Allison raises an eyebrow. ] You wouldn't be able to stop me from going to save Lydia.

[teenyoda]

I could avoid having Lydia be in trouble in the first place.

[If he'd known. If he'd known, could he have...

Finished it earlier?]

[overdraws]

[ As if any of them would have let him 'finish' it. ] That would work.

[teenyoda]

[As if he'd give them a chance to stop him.]

So maybe... maybe we can ask for that. I mean, they seem to have some weird control over timeline stuff. Maybe... Maybe when we're done here, when we can go home, we can ask to just... go back a bit. Just enough that we can fix this.

[overdraws]

[ She considers this, actually, taking a long moment to think about it. Would she die to save Lydia again? Absolutely. Would she go back and change it so that the Nogitsune never plagued them? In a heartbeat. But was it really a good idea? Dumping herself into an ice bath for sixteen hours had been freaky enough; Allison was acclimating to magic and fairies here in the Drab, but back home? It felt like a far cry from just werewolves and things that go bump in the night. ]

Do you really think it'd work?

[teenyoda]

I think I'd rather try for it than not.

[If he could make it so that Jennifer never took their parents or so that they never did the ice bath and already knew where the nematon was to go find her, maybe Void would never have been let out. And the beacon part of Beacon Hills wouldn't be so true anymore.]

[overdraws]

Then I've got your back. They give out these... boons, right? Next time, let's ask?

[teenyoda]

Pretty sure that won't cut it, Allison. Those things are for... well, for stuff here. I've already asked to go home and they basically gave me an F U.

[overdraws]

[ Damn. ] Then we train, here, so when we do go back, we're ready.

[teenyoda]

No argument here. Think we could pick up any tricks for screwing over a nogitsune?

[overdraws]

We're in a castle full of tricksters. If we don't, we're seriously missing stuff.

[teenyoda]

I'm not sure I'm physically capable of doing what some of them do in terms of tricks. I also can't make sparkles come out of my ass or any other part of my body.

[overdraws]

You can't? That's kind of upsetting.

[teenyoda]

Oh, look at you, thinking you're funny.

[Ha ha, Allison.]

[overdraws]

I have it on good authority that I'm hilarious.

[ She grins. ]

[teenyoda]

No-o-o-t even a little.

[overdraws]

Rude.

[ To be fair, this IS why she likes you, Stiles. ] Still... It wouldn't hurt to try to learn something, right? I mean this is fairy land, people come back from this place all the time with cool new powers and stuff. At least in the legends.

[teenyoda]

Yeah? The only ones I read about had them coming back and dying since like, hundreds of years had passed and they aged all at once.

[overdraws]

I think it depends on the kind of fairy? [ And then something hits her. She hesitates to point it out, but... ] Stiles, what if that's going to happen to you?

[teenyoda]

[He'd already thought about it, Allison. He shrugged, eyes not really meeting hers.]

Not much I can do about it, is there. I'm already here, right? Not like I can undo this.

[overdraws]

[ She still doesn't like it, if only because it means the same thing for Lydia. And Peter, too, but fuck that guy, maybe he'll stay dead this time if it happens. ] There has to be a way, Stiles. There's always a way.
