[Stiles hasn't used the lockets until today, a day spent flicking mostly through the posts and seeing how to actually work this thing and, oh, okay. Like that. It was like a weird magical phone set to Skype. Okay. He could do that.

Smile into the camera, Stiles.]

Hey there, uh, fairy people. And non-fairy people. And, uh, the draconically inclined. Or furry. I don't... just... hi. So, in light of the whole worm thing, which by the way, eww, I have a question. Since there seem to be a lot of, um, not exactly human people around and ones who have skills with like, swords and magic and stuff, ah, what... hypothetically speaking, would someone who was just a regular, normal, average human be able to do here? You know, besides hiding under tables and throwing rocks ineffectively?

[This was a very important question, Drabwurld. He wasn't a werewolf or a wizard or witch or... any of the multitude of people here that he'd run into. His coordination was subpar and, well, he didn't really have any skills that included cutting the heads off of giant worms or not getting eaten by dragons if they felt the need.]

Just, ah, I guess just reply here, if you want. Or leave a message if you're looking at it later. 'Kay. Uh, thanks.

[parallels]

Not really.

And I thought I'd seen enough things that are completely bonkers for a good one.

[She shrugs.]

You'd think in a war they'd only take the ones properly equipped for one.

[teenyoda]

Is anyone ever really equipped for giant worms, though? I mean, who has that as a skill set? 'Killed four giant worms'.

[parallels]

Well.

My friend probably has some experience with giant worms as he always seems to have experience with everything. Literally. He'd probably go try to chat them up.

Or throw salt at them when he decides to get clever.

[teenyoda]

...

Salt.

I...

[Your friend was weird, Clara.]

[parallels]

Because that would somehow be their weakness that he figured out hours earlier but decided not to tell anyone.

...

Yeah, he's a weird bloke.

[teenyoda]

As long as he has a plan, I guess?

[parallels]

If he decides to have a plan that day. Sometimes, he just wings it.

[She grins fondly for a few seconds but then shakes her head.]

I'm a bit prepared for giant worms, but not that prepared.

[teenyoda]

I'm not even in the same zip code as prepared. I'm like, on the other side of the planet from prepared.

[parallels]

I was the most unprepared for outer space travel. Honestly, never even seen Star Wars.

But I managed. I'm sure we can pick up Faeries just as quickly.

[teenyoda]

... What is with you people and not having seen that movie. It's a classic and it's awesome.

[Huff.]

You think so, huh? Just that easy?

[parallels]

Dad was more into Bond.

[She shrugs.]

I think so. Just be... adaptable.

[teenyoda]

Bond. Pff.

[Okay, Bond wasn't so bad, but come on. Star Wars.]

I think I can manage that. Generally.

[parallels]

I believe in you.

[She replies in a rather amused voice.]

I'm Clara by the way. An introduction seems a bit overdue.

[teenyoda]

Clara. Right. I'm Stiles.

[And you're a heathen, Bond girl.]
