[the post is video this time, which is probably good for those of asgard who were totally horrified by how awful seth's spelling can be.

seth looks a little tired, a little grey at the edges still, and with a certain set to his mouth that suggests he's not quite as okay as he's acting like he is. he's good at fronting, though, so it's likely that only those who know him well will be able to pick up on that undertone.]

So, I just wanna take this opportunity to repeat for the record that losing your bracelet? Is a really, really bad idea. [he exhales, propping his chin on his crossed arms and looking at the camera.] Seriously. Don't do it. It's weird. Not good, nope.

[a pause, and seth blinks a couple of times, tiredly.]

Did I miss anything in the last two weeks?

Seth-niichan, do we need to have a talk?

[video]

[clearwater]

Is the talk going to involve you yelling at me about forgetting my bracelet? Because if so, no, we definitely don't need to have a talk.

[they probably need to have a talk.]

You're not getting out of this that easily, I hope you realise!

Heimdall?

Ding ding! Newbie alert.

What happens when you lose a bracelet?

[ video ]

[clearwater]

I think the term is "going native." [seth kinda grins, but it's definitely not totally an amused expression.] You, uh... sort of lose yourself, I guess. You turn into one of the grey people until you get the bracelet back.

[ Grey people? Okay. He's going to have to add that to his list of things to figure out. Right now, he's imagining -- bug eyed, stretchy skinned, long fingered alien looking types. Definitely not something he'd like to turn into. Damon prides himself on his looks, what with having been an eternal stud and all that. ]

How'd you get it back? Through the the lost and found center?

[...Losing the bracelet = bad. Alright, she can ... not lose it.]

What happens if y'lose it?

[ video ]

[clearwater]

You go grey. Like the natives, I guess. [so maybe the bracelets are the only thing keeping them relatively human? that's kind of a scary thought. makes seth close one hand protectively around it.]

[ video ]

[badwolf]

No more colour? [Oh god that's frightening.]

[stilinski]

What happens when you lose it? [Squints and leans in closer, moving his head around like he's scanning the feed up close.] Are you... kinda grey?

[Seth looks tired, and as his new friend that means Stiles needs to cheer him up. Or distract him. Ideally both!]

Uh, our curly fry date but that's pretty much it.

[ video ]

[clearwater]

Dude. [this is actually more in response to the curly fry comment than to the rest of it, but that's probably the first thing that's managed to cheer seth up so far today.] I have never needed curly fries more in my life than I do right now.

[that's sadly probably not even an exaggeration.]

I am a little grey. I was a lot grey a couple of days ago, because that's what happens when you lose your bracelet. You go native.

[stilinski]

Curly fries are the best medicine, okay? Let's go grab some, like, right now.

[He's already pulling on a jacket and everything, but then he pauses with one arm in and the other out because this is definitely important information.]

I'm guessing more happens than just turning grey?

[predates]

You're looking rather grey this morning. No thanks to losing your bracelet, hmm?

[ If that's the case then Haytham is going to make sure his is on his arm at all times. ]

[ video ]

[clearwater]

Right in one. Hopefully it'll go away fast, I don't think it's a good look for me.

[weak jokes! but still.]

[ video ]

[predates]

Grey is rarely a colour suited for anyone.

Other than the unhealthy glow to your skin, are you experiencing any other side effects?

[occulthymns]

One of the gods decided he doesn't like snow.

... It's been pretty quiet, obviously.

[ video ]

[clearwater]

Wow, breaking news! [euri's sense of humor, dry as it is, never fails to cheer seth up.] Thanks for the heads up, I definitely would have been screwed if I didn't know.

[ audio ]

[occulthymns]

[She giggles at the sarcasm.]

It is important to keep on top of completely mundane events, after all.

[voice]

[vigilanteup]

New people, if that even counts.

What happens if you lose this thing? No do-overs?

[ voice ]

[clearwater]

New people come all the time, that's not really news anymore. [although it does remind seth of allison's idea that he form a committee for welcoming newcomers.]

You go all grey and kinda forget who you are. Just like one of the grey people. I don't remember how I got my bracelet back so I can't tell you that, but it's definitely not fun.

[ voice ]

[vigilanteup]

... Who the hell came up with that? So these-- separate us from the other people?

[nukeoleptic]

I'm really sorry, it sucks so bad. I've lost mine twice.

[ video ]

[clearwater]

Definitely not something I'm interested in repeating. Twice, though? That's... almost impressive.

[video]

[ealdorsprince]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that's ended up being grey lately.

[ video ]

[clearwater]

It's kind of a hazard around here, but it's not very fun, huh?
