[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.

I don't want to be here long enough to pick up a new skill set, lady. I want to go home. I want to be in my bed, I want to pick up the phone and dial Pizza Hut, and I want to be able to see my own dad. I do not want to sit around here and decide which life skill is beneficial against large giant worms. I never said it was easy, but I don't have to like it.

[ What in the world is Pizza Hut. Or a phone. Probably doesn't matter. ]

I too, wish I could go back to my kingdom without any further delay. Many amongst us wish so. Yet, this is impossible. If you want to go back where you come from, then you will have to work for it. No one is asking you to like it. But whether you want it or not is irrelevant, I am afraid.

[teenyoda]

Did I miss something? Because I don't remember them saying that there was a set amount of tasks we had to do to get sent home. If that was the case, I would have done a bit more than throw rocks and cuss them out.

[lorule]

They didn't. However, if they brought us, then a mean to travel back must exist. It is up only to us to work and find it, even if they do not ask or want us to. And obviously, this is what I meant by saying you will have to work for it.

[teenyoda]

Of course there's a way back. Their way. And they don't seem inclined to let us leave. You can't just leave fairy without a fairy letting you. Kind of the nature of the beast.

[lorule]

So because you have been told this is the only way, you believe it to actually be the only way? [She pauses.] You sound limited, not to say unwilling to make any efforts. Forgive me for wasting both our times.

[teenyoda]

I don't have wings or magic, so unless there's a giant 'EXIT' sign hovering around somewhere, I'm going to go with, no, we can't get out without permission.

You sound limited.

[Zing.]

[lorule]

Yet should our efforts prove successful and show us a way home, I have little doubt we shall find you reaping the fruits of our hard work.

I have no desire to further a conversation that will convince neither of us. I pray you find in others the reassurance and comfort you seek.
