Video - Seelie/Unseelie (Partially Accidental) | Action for those in Troichean Beinn

[teenyoda]

[The image comes on of a room, an unfamiliar room to all but a small handful in Troichean Beinn. The picture rises and falls rapidly, a panting sound coming before there's a sharp cry and the visual changes to the wall as the body wearing the locket rises.

Sorry, folks, but it seems like Stiles turned the locket on while he was having his nightmare or vision or whatever the hell it was, reaching for something to help him get out of it and flicking on the video. Oops? He'd be embarrassed if he wasn't so confused.]

Scott? Malia...?

[He blinks, eying the stone walls in front of him and groaning as it all comes back in a rush. Drabwurld. Fairies. Crap.

It's a moment after that that he realizes the locket's on and he looks tired as he turns it to peer into it, seeing it unlocked to both courts. Great.]

Um... I guess I left? But I'm back now. Though... I'm not at Caer Glaem. Am I still at Troichean Beinn? Gendry? Jon? Sansa? I thought I would have shown up back at court, but hey, look, they don't entirely suck.

[Nope. Someone didn't know they'd been sleeping. He thought he'd left and gone for months and came back. Who wants to break the news? Shut up, Peter.]

Comments

[baseborne]

Well-- [nO STILES HE WAS SO EXCITED HE WANTS YOU TO SWORD] I could teach you with fists, but I would wager you'd like that even less.

[teenyoda]

[JON. SWORDS AND STILES ARE LITERALLY THE WORST COMBINATION. WORSE THAN JOFFREY AND A CROWN. TRUFAX.]

... Is there any way to show me that won't hurt?

[baseborne]

It's only bruises, Stiles. That's a good sort of hurt. [Jon really loves swordplay, okay?]

[teenyoda]

Have you seen me? I bruise when you look at me hard. You would break me and you wouldn't even mean to.

[baseborne]

[Mildly insulted:] I have some skill, you know. I used to teach my brothers in black to fight, and enough came from stock like yours. [YOU KNOW... WEEDY AND SOFT.]

[teenyoda]

Stock like mine? You mean scrawny, right? You're trying to find a nice way to say something Ghost would chew on.

[baseborne]

Do you want to learn or not? [That's a "yes."] It happens when you get your blood up, that's how I was taught. If there are other ways they're like to be far more dangerous than swinging around blunted swords while armored.

[teenyoda]

When you get your blood up? Like, what, when you get mad? I can get mad without getting hit by a sword.

[baseborne]

No, when you get excited from battle. Though it could be that if that's how you can make it work for you.

I'd rather not teach you to be cross with me, though.

[teenyoda]

... When you get excited?

[Was he going to have to worry about his happy alone time now? What if he got super strength and ripped something very near and dear to him off? HOW DID THIS WORK, JON?]

[baseborne]

[STILES NO he means adrenaline but that wasn't even a word in old timey times]

Aye, that.

[teenyoda]

Uh... how excited?

[Because Stiles could get pretty excited, Jon. About a lot of things.]

[baseborne]

Enough that you can feel its heat within you. That's what you must harness.

[I mean, that doesn't sound suggestive or anything, right?]

[teenyoda]

[He laughed. Laughed and rubbed his hand through his hair.]

So what you're saying is that I can't have sex. Or... other stuff. With this in me. Or I might, what, rip something off?

[baseborne]

[Well, that officially stumps Jon for a second. He flushes and looks at Stiles like he's grown a second head-- you know what, lets pretend I phrased that differently.]

I-- what? Why would you... Stiles. If that's what you bring to a sword fight it's no wonder you've gotten so many bruises.

[teenyoda]

Hey, this is serious and important stuff. You said when I get excited. Trust me, that sort of thing is pretty exciting. It's also not the time you want to get super strength.

[LBR, Jon, you know if he came at you with that sword in hand, you'd run.]

[baseborne]

[MAYBE]

I meant when you feel a battle's bloodlust, not... that sort of lust. [Probably..........] Why is it even a concern, how often do you-- no, don't answer that. [Stiles you are the worst why are you Jon's bestie why]

[teenyoda]

[He gave Jon a Gallic shrug, paired with a bit of a smug grin.]

Guy has a lot of free time on his hands here.

[Let's just say he didn't get these biceps by waving his wand ar-- okay, maybe he got it from waving something like a wand around. Oh my god, Jon, why are you besties with him?]

[baseborne]

[Hey, if Jon wasn't so fucked up in the head about bastards and lust vs self-worth he'd probably have even nicer arms than he already does, just saying.]

You must needs make an effort to use it. It's not the sort of thing you'll do accidentally while... while doing that. [How can a guy who did the do half a hundred times still go red over masturbation jokes? It's a mystery.]

[teenyoda]

[Then it's a good thing he's got so much mental trauma, because lbr, Jon has some smokin' arms.]

You sure about that? Because man, that is not the time you want to find out differently. And what if I'm with a very lovely lady? What if I just like...

[He makes a motion with his hips, hands held out to mimic holding someone else's hips.]

Right through the bed?

[baseborne]

[Jon drops his face into his hands for a moment. At least when his brothers in black are so crude Jon can disassociate with them mentally: here he faces the fact that he has chosen to name Stiles friend, he seeks him out for no purpose aside from companionship, it's by his own will that he stands here now and watches the guy hump air.]

Gods, you're worse than Tormund Thunderfist some days. [That's a lie, no one's truly that bad...] Fine, don't learn how, it means naught to me. [That's also a lie it means a lot to Jon stop doing that right meow!]

[teenyoda]

[Right meow? Did someone forget they were tied to wolves? Was this some kind of subconscious cravings for something nicknamed a feline name? Jon. He could maybe help you with that. He knew people...]

Am I? Who's that? I bet he's awesome. And I never said I didn't want to learn. I just think maybe we should find an appropriate learning curve for me that doesn't involve you using me to take out your sexual frustrations on.

[baseborne]

He's utterly incorrigible. And insufferable. [He's also like hands down Jon's favorite wildling??? SHHH.] Oh, I don't bloody well know why I bother.

[teenyoda]

You know why.

[Because you loooooooove him.]

But seriously. I wasn't saying I don't want to learn. I just think, you know, we gotta find the right technique.

[baseborne]

[MAYBE (totally.)]

The right technique won't be sitting on your ass, I can tell you that now.

[Come on just sword with him once!!]
