[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.

[Oh, look, it was the mouthy kid. The one that made him feel sorry for his dad for having to deal with him if he was anything like that at that age. Sorry, dad.]

I'm not sure how much I can learn about 'killing big giant things that shouldn't even be real 101' without winding up being partially digested.

Step one: run.

[ Sorry, Stiles. ]

... Yeah, I already kind of had that one figured out. Which is why I'm not currently missing an arm or leg.

Hmmm. Okay. Step two: hit it with a really big stick, huh?

Tried that in a different scenario and it didn't work. There is no stick big enough that I could lift that would do anything against something like one of those worms. Or... pretty much anything bigger than me.

Then light a bottle of wine! y'gotta put a strip of cloth in it, though--an' then you light it up--an-- [ Jazz hands ] Fuwooooom!

Molotov cocktail. Yeah, I've... uh, done something like that before.

[Peter could speak for how good his aim was.]

See? Y'know how to fight, then!

That's not fighting. That's committing arson. Or being involved in a riot.

Or a revolution.

No. No... pretty sure that's a riot.

It ain't no riot! We barricaded the streets an' fought against the National Guard, m'sieur. For what we believe in!

You fought the police.

With barricades.

That's, uh... hate to break it to you, kid, but that's a riot.

Riots ain't got a purpose, fool.

Sure they do. Violence and damage and venting. It's a mob temper tantrum.

But then they aren't fightin' fo ra cause, they're jus' bein' angry. What if you're angry 'cause of summin', summat?

... What if you spoke English and summer somewhere?

I speak French, m'sieur. Ain't high-class, though.

You do not speak French. You speak really bad English. Because I don't speak French, so this conversation wouldn't be happening otherwise.

Then we seem to be at an impasse, m'sieur, 'cause I don't know English.

That's just...

That doesn't even make sense. How can...

Crap. Is this fairy magic?

[ Squint. ]

If we're from differnt times an' summa us got magic and summa us don't, then maybe...

Nnn. Maybe you think I'm speakin' terrible English 'cause I ain't speakin' proper French, M'speakin Argot.

Pretty sure French is French and English is English. Unless you were speaking crappy English, I shouldn't be able to understand you.

An' I wouldn't be able to understand you.

[ Solemn nod ]

You're right. It's fairy magic.

Well, that's just great. I've been magicked and I have no idea how.

[Thoughtful look.]

I wonder if it has anything to do with the shards?
