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.

Was I chiding?

[ THE SHITTIEST ATTEMPT AT PLEADING INNOCENCE... ]

( YOU SUCK DEREK HALE. ) Just a little.

I was just asking a question.

[ HE DOES WHAT HE CAN. ]

You're getting some interesting answers.

You should work on your tone a little bit. People skills are kinda rusty there. ( Sorry, Derek, but she can't not insult you a little. How would she maintain her Queen Bee status if she didn't sting a worker once in awhile? )

It's definitely been informative. I'm taking notes. The more we know, the better our chances.

( She's quiet for a second, and her tone takes on more seriousness. )

Peter's here.

[ there's a pause, then derek flips to private, hesitates a moment further, steadying himself, trying to work out his reaction. ]

He's in a different castle.

[ which explains why derek hadn't seen him at the feast. ]

I'll talk to him.

( The wheels in Lydia's head have been on full-tilt spin since she got Peter's response, and she's glad he's in a different castle, because that means he can't actually get to her... But he still makes her supremely uncomfortable. Even if he seems like he's more aligned to being a better guy than before. Not necessarily a good guy. But not totally evil anymore, either. )

Are you sure talking to him will actually do any good? I know he can't actually reach any of us, but that doesn't stop him from being extremely annoying.

He's useful.

[ immediate, like derek says it without thinking about it, though in this case it's not totally untrue. peter's in another court. it's a whole other set of resources. ]

I'll handle it, Lydia.

Useful. ( She scoffs, and you can practically hear her eyes rolling. )

Good. You need to. I'm not going to. ( Always, ALWAYS, Peter will give her the big ol' creeps. )

I don't expect you to.

[ derek's tone is ebbing towards irritated. he doesn't like lydia telling him what to do, even if he absolutely agrees with what she's asking. ]

So long as we're clear on that. ( WHIPCRACKING SOUNDS )

Anything else you need to make clear? Or should I just let you get back to your survey?

Mm, no. That'll be all for now. ( She's mildly irritated, also. Yep. )

[ wow lydia!! ]
