A1. video. [ open to both courts ]
[ it doesn't immediately occur to thomas that he could probably just communicate through a text system--as far as he knows, the locket is a lot easier to use by video, and so he does. the network is presented with a pair of big, brown doe eyes before he leans backwards a little, revealing a face that could be rather familiar to some--dark hair, a button nose, moles like spots littering his face.
this is not the man you are looking for, however: this is thomas "murphy", and he clears his throat before he introduces himself. ]
Hi. I'm Thomas Murphy, and I'm--kind of a new arrival. I guess they'd call me a greenie if this was back home. [ there's no hint of humor on his face, but he did actually just try and make a joke, and his tone is a little lighter, for it. ]
Can anyone tell me about the Seelie and Unseelie--in your own words, if that makes any sense? What you know about it...you don't have to tell me any secrets or anything, but, maybe why you're there, I guess. [ he's not going to say which court he is (though it's obvious eventually, by the background of caer scima), but he just needs to know. ] Or, if you're okay with where you are. Not that I'm not, but...I don't know. Is there any reason why someone wouldn't be? They apparently brought us here for a reason-- [ again. ] --since we have these "shards", or whatever they are, but I don't have a lot of trust for anybody who says that, because it's usually a load of klunk.
I guess that's all I've got to ask. [ a beat. ] Actually, that's not true. Is there another map around here? Besides the one they gave me, I mean, it's not very good. [ ... ] No offense.
[ thomas is just going to shut his trap now. he almost physically winces and shakes his head. ] That's it, honestly. I'm just going to... hang up now. Thanks.
[ thomas does hang up, and the feed ends--for all of five seconds, before he snaps it back on. ] Oh, wait--also, I want to know if anyone here's ever heard the phrase "WICKED is good." It has to look like this. [ after a second, there's a typed out phrase that appears instead, with WICKED fully capitalized. ] That's really all this time. Um, thanks.
[ click! for real this time. ]

Uh... gel?

[ so it'll be easier to tell them apart. not that she'd have that much trouble, but you know. ]
What's your name?
no subject
Stiles?
[Why was his name a question?]
no subject
They don't trust anybody, by the way. It's not just you. But your face definitely isn't helping anything. [ woops, blunt. oh well. that's one thing everybody from their world has in common. there's no point in making things sound nicer than they really are - it always backfires ] And the less in common you have with him the better. I wouldn't put it past WICKED to clone Thomas, but I don't think that's what you are.
Has this ever happened here before?
no subject
[A little explanation of why the hostility was nice, but it wasn't like he couldn't expect it considering he hadn't exactly been all open arms and hugs and flowers or anything.]
What, clones or duplicates or something? Maybe? I haven't really been paying attention. Kind of been wrapped up in not getting killed and keeping my friends safe.
no subject
Okay.
[ she takes a breath, nods again ]
Good luck with that.
