eachdraidh | first scream ♚ voice ♚ open to both seelie and unseelie.

I've heard that this magic device is the best way to address both the Seelie and Unseelie courts and their members. In the midst of all of this chaos surrounding these disgusting worm beings, I find myself wondering why it is that no one has tried to take a general census of the population. We're clearly, most of us, new arrivals. For whatever reason that may be, it stands to reason that we should at least talk to each other. Especially since it's likely that we all have at least one or two other people we know from our own homes. So, first things first. How many of you have come across someone you knew before you arrived here? Are they friends, or are they enemies? How are you handling things? ( Lydia has determined that she needs to take a survey, more or less, and find out as much as she can. See if she can discern any patterns in the population. See if she can find a rhyme or reason to what's going on... To why this place, why these people, why this timing. )

Secondly. If there's anyone else here from Beacon Hills... Speak up. Clearly there's something going on here that involves at least a few of us. I'm wondering how many more of us there are.

I don't think you'll be able to just walk up and bat your eyes to get us back, Lydia. They're fae, not parental figures. Some of them eat people. You want to walk up to one of those accidentally?

I've been bitten by an Alpha werewolf and survived. Jennifer tried to strangle me. I don't think I'm that easy to kill. Let alone eat. But... ( He really does have a point. ) I'm not looking to take those kinds of risks. But I am very good at delegation and diplomacy, when I need to be.

Peter wasn't looking to kill you and Jennifer was... a crazy bitch.

[And now he was getting a bad feeling.]

And just who are you planning on delegating to go up to the potentially human-eating fae to ask for us to go home?

[Please not him, please not him, please not him...]

( Arrogant, flirty toss of the hair... Confident grin. Her answer most certainly isn't him. )

Myself, of course. ( Duh. )

That's not delegating. That's suicide. Do I need to get out a graph with pie charts to point this out to you?

Do you really think I'm helpless or something? I'm not going to be stupid about it. That's why it's called diplomacy.

Or you could do the really smart thing and wait for someone else to do it first and see what happens with that?

Someone has to take the initiative. It might as well be me. ( Let her do this one thing, Stiles. It's a risk she's clearly willing to take. ) If you're worried about something happening to me, you can come with.

Or how about neither of us go. Seriously. There are big butch Navy Seals here. Let them go make tough faces at the monarchy so you can see what the result is. I kind of like your face the way it is.

( She can't help but smile a little at that. ) My face will be fine. I'm not trying to make a big tough face or threaten them. I want to negotiate.

Haven't you heard about negotiating with terrorists ending badly? Not that these guys are going to blow up any buildings, but they have managed to kidnap people from across a billion universes and realities, so I'm guessing they don't really care much about propriety or negotiations.

( She purses her lips and closes her eyes in a slow, irritated blink, flaring her nostrils and... Well. Kind of huffing. ) And what if they're not terrorists?

Mass kidnapping? Kind of a terrorist activity, Lyds.

Well. ( HUFF. ) It's not going to stop me from trying.

What about someone locking you in your room? How about that? Would that stop you?

As if I couldn't think up a device that would unlock it from the inside out.

What if I was leaning against the door? What then, huh?

Then I'll shove you out of the way. Seriously?

Seriously. I will dig my feet in and... I'm not that easily pushed out of the way.

And if I don't tell you when I'm planning on going?

Then maybe I'll just have to start camping outside your door.

Don't they have laws against that sort of thing?

Here? I don't really think they have laws against much, if anything at all, Lyds. In fact, you're more likely to find people siding with me because 'I'm the man'.

[Yep, she was going to remove his balls the next time he saw her.]

( Her face just. Stone. Cold. Gonna kill him, yep. ) Not for long, you're not.

Hey, don't give me that look. I'm just saying, this place doesn't really seem up to date on women's rights, okay?
