[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.

... Pests? Too bad I didn't bring any Raid.

[Feeble joke is feeble and he's aware of that.]

I... kind of really don't want to know. I also don't want to see the slugs or rats here. Or spiders. God, no.

[bullhorned]

Might want to rethink crawling about under tables then.

[teenyoda]

[Are you ganging up on him with the dragon? You were, weren't you?]

Uh huh. That never really helps, just so you know.

[bullhorned]

[The dragon is really cool...]

I wouldn't know, I never tried it before. So what do you intend to do instead?

[teenyoda]

[The dragon is pretty badass, even if he was a mouthy jerk.]

Find somewhere high and throw things down? I don't know. I'm still working on it.

[bullhorned]

Best you figure out something soon. Pests never stay gone long.

[teenyoda]

You'd think fairies would have been able to build a ward. They have a whole separate world, why not a freakin' ward?

[bullhorned]

Maybe fairies don't get sick or hurt.

[teenyoda]

Well... screw them. They shouldn't have brought us here.

[bullhorned]

Don't change that we are.

[teenyoda]

Which is screwed. Screwed with big target signs on our heads that say 'I taste good, come eat me.'

[bullhorned]

It's what kings and queens do. They take folk for whatever purpose they like, no matter what they say. Last it happened to me, I didn't get no fancy room to stay in.

[teenyoda]

Kings and queens can suck my-- ... is that what's making you okay with this? The guest quarters?

[bullhorned]

[He snorts.]

I ain't been in my room since I first arrived. What need of I for that much space? They invited me to come, I was fool enough to agree.

[teenyoda]

Well... huh. I was asleep and thought it was a dream. Otherwise I would have said no. I don't want to be here and they can take their shard and shove it up their asses.

[So there.]

[bullhorned]

Best you work on finding a way to make that happen.

[teenyoda]

I'm trying.

Failing, maybe, but still trying. But, while I'm here, I also don't want to be worm food. Which is kind of why I need to figure out something else.

Multitasking.

[bullhorned]

[With a growing impatience.]

You don't want to fight. Seems you don't want to fight. So find a job. Work. You can work, can't you?

[teenyoda]

Who would? Seriously. What person wakes up and says 'gee, I think I'll just go run around almost dying today. Sounds like a plan'?

[The job idea did have merit, but he wasn't sure how any of that worked here.]

You found a Magical Classifieds section in the Pixie Press that I don't know about?

[bullhorned]

... there's a Pixie Press? What's that?

[WHOOSH.]

[teenyoda]

...

Never mind. It's not a thing. I was just...

[SIGH, GENDRY]

Never mind.

[His genius is never appreciated.]

[bullhorned]

[Gendry scowls, feeling like somehow he's being mocked.]

I found a forge to work in. Didn't have no one tell me to work it. I just did.

[teenyoda]

[No, Gendry. It was just Stiles being Stiles and getting frustrated that the guy couldn't get it because of the... world difference.]

Yeah? Well... that's nice. We don't exactly teach people forge skills or anything like that where I come from. My skills are pretty useless here, so unless we can win whatever we need to win with an Xbox or lacrosse stick, I'm boned.

[bullhorned]

Seems you're good at complaining. Might be someone will pay you for that.

[teenyoda]

Oh, look at you. You're funny. So very funny. Maybe someone will pay you for that.

[Lineface.]
