[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.

... That's kind of the exact opposite of what I'm being told, Mr. Helpful.

[altercate]

Because the rest of them don't realize who they're talking to.

[teenyoda]

I don't know if I should be flattered or offended.

[altercate]

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

[ stiles he didn't bust his ass trying to save you for you to get mauled by fairies. ]

[teenyoda]

Nothing helps me sleep at night.

[Yeah, he was kind of hoping the people beside him hadn't been bothered to much by his nightmares.]

[altercate]

[ way to make things uncomfortably real, stiles. ]

You're still having trouble?

[teenyoda]

[This was his life now, welcome to it, Derek.]

No.

[Yes.]

[altercate]

[ stiles pls ]

Really?

[teenyoda]

Mmhmm.

[He can't hear a lie over the locket could he? Nah.]

[altercate]

That's so convincing.

[ derek couldn't hear the lie, but this is something between disagreeing just to be contrary and genuine disagreement. ]

[teenyoda]

Glad it worked. Now, do you have any tips for how I can be something other than worm bait here?

[altercate]

You've been doing fine so far. You're still alive.

[ and isn't that a loaded statement. ]

[teenyoda]

So I've noticed.

[Ouch, Derek. Ouch. Right in the feels.]

[altercate]

Why are you asking about this?

[ aka are you planning on doing something stupid? ]

[teenyoda]

What do you expect me to do, Derek. Sit and try to get the fairies to braid my hair?

[altercate]

You don't have enough hair to braid.

[ yet. ]

Do what you do at home. You don't need to go out fighting worms.

[teenyoda]

And what exactly do I do at home? Oh, that's right, get right in the middle of things.

[Look.]

[altercate]

Within reason.

[ haha who is derek kidding there is never any reason. ]

[teenyoda]

Are you actually trying to make a case for me being logical, Derek?

[altercate]

I'm making a case for you having better survival skills than this.

[teenyoda]

Sure, I've got good survival instincts, but I can't just... sit on my ass while you guys potentially get hurt. Specialness or not.

[altercate]

Why not?

[teenyoda]

[Eye roll.]

Have you met me? Like, do you know me at all?

[altercate]

There's other ways to be useful than to put yourself in danger here.

[ don't roll your eyes at him!! ]

And you didn't bring your baseball bat.

[teenyoda]

There are trees. I'm sure I could make one.

[Unfortunately, him and wooden bats sucked.]
