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

[teenyoda]

Really?

[Okay, that was cool. He'd seen Jon in that vision shared over the lockets and even as just your average Joe, Jon packed a hell of a punch. He could only imagine what he'd be like super powered.]

So it, what, enhances your speed and strength? What about healing?

[Important things, Jon.]

[baseborne]

Healing? No, it doesn't seem so. [That's what you're here for, Stiles!!] Why would it?

[teenyoda]

[Shrug]

Because the werewolves back home have their strength and speed enhanced, but they also have like, super magical healing as well. Seems to go hand in hand.

[baseborne]

[Wow Stiles don't compare him to a werewolf that is hitting much too close to home!]

Then I'm not like that, I suppose. It's only the other things.

[teenyoda]

[Rude, Jon. His bestest friend in the whole world was a werewolf and his girlfriend was a werecoyote. Don't be hatin'.]

Oh. Okay. Well... how... do you do that?

[baseborne]

... Do you want me to teach you? [Jon wants Stiles to learn how!! Because the squishy mage boy should know all he can about defending himself when the tanks go down tbh.]

[teenyoda]

Kinda why I'm asking.

[Gee, Jon. You sure you want to take on the task of actually teaching Stiles stuff? He might whine if you make him lift anything.]

[baseborne]

[Don't you backsass him Stiles!] I offered before and you declined.

[teenyoda]

[Oh, he will sass you up and down and back and forth and in a little circle to make you dizzy.]

Okay, maybe we need to work out the definition of 'teach'. Sword stuff, no. Shard stuff, yes.

[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.]
