Video - Day 349

[teenyoda]

[As the feed switches on, Stiles looks a little more tired than he usually does, though he certainly looks a far cry better than his last video appearance. All his parts are where they're supposed to be and he's not bleeding or showing any internal organs, so, that's a nice change.]

Um, hi. This is sort of a formal apology for anyone who, uh, might have tuned in during my last broadcast. That was completely accidental and...

Well, shit. I'm sorry for anyone who had to see that.

[Never mind that he had to go through that...]

So, my room's kind of barbecued right now. I was wondering if anyone had a couch or something I could crash on until I can get it fixed up. Not for too long, I hope, but I just--

[He just didn't want to have to sleep in a room that smelled like burnt flesh and that had a huge stain from his blood on the carpet.]

I'd appreciate any help.

[Private to Scott]
Hey, um, have you gone back there? Did you maybe get my pictures? I couldn't find them. Or my hat.

[Kind of the material things that mattered most to him here.]

We have an extra bedroom, if you want it for a few days. I doubt Katniss would mind.

[teenyoda]

You sure about that? I always find it best to get direct permission from the female involved.

[Too many 'What are you doing here, Stiles' times with Scott's mom. And Lydia. And Allison. And... pretty much every girl he'd ever met.]

[tradingsecrets]

I'm positive. It beats staying on a couch, doesn't it? I'll give you a key so you can come and go.

[necrowmantic]

[Someone wasn't here for the fun.]

Hey hey, what'd I miss? Was it bloody?

Did people die!?

[Very cheerful!]

[teenyoda]

Yes, it was. They did. I did. It sucked. Thanks for asking.

Dick.

[necrowmantic]

No problem! But geez, a bunch of people kicked it, and I missed the whole thing?

How was it? Did you lose any limbs?

[The response might come a bit late, it's taken him a bit to catch up- but he's not going to pass up responding.]

...not sure I want to go back and find out what that broadcast was, but it definitely doesn't sound good. You're doing okay now, right? Anything you need besides a couch to surf?

[teenyoda]

Yeah, you really, really don't. If you missed out on it, consider yourself lucky.

[He wished it could have been that simple for him. But he gives Ryan a half grin.]

Nah, I'm cool. Well, I wouldn't turn down one of those chocolate cherry pies you make. They're pretty soothing.

[averagemedium]

Think I've seen plenty for a while, I'll take your word for it.

[People really, really need to stop dying. But that request gets a nod, his half-grin matched.]

And I can definitely handle that. Can pick it up or I can run a delivery, whichever works-- and if you end up needing any extra crash space let me know, yeah? We've got a bedroom we're not really using, I can make sure it's cleared out.

I don't use my room. You can stay there. [ though, it's over a Welcome Hall. No one has told Ame people can't stay at Welcome Halls unless they are from that god house ]

[teenyoda]

You don't use your... why not? You living in one of the houses in the districts?

[That's where most people seemed to wind up when they left the Welcoming houses. He'd had an offer, but there wasn't any way in hell he was sharing a roof with Jackson.]

What house thing are you in?

[Not that he'd take her up on it, but hey, a guy could be curious.]

[okamichild]

No. The room is in Heimdall's welcome hall. Room 201.

[ he tilts his head ] I don't like living in buildings like that.

[ Scott is pretty much seething from Henry's comments. Amazing? No. It was not amazing. It was devastating. ]

Just ignore Henry. Why are you apologizing?

[ Scott answers Stiles' questions, or at least makes an attempt: ] I've got your pictures. And your hat. I had a bad feeling so I rode my bike over there and-- I found you-- [ He stops. Sorry, now his voice is back, it's like it's overcompensating for when it was gone. So now you're hearing all those painful blubbering noises he wanted to make at the time while he covers his face with his hands, hiding his tears from Stiles. ]

[teenyoda]

[His first introduction to the guy was him being a creepy creeper. Way to creep, Henry.]

Because... Because I wouldn't have wanted anyone to see that. I was hoping you wouldn't, but that didn't mean I wanted anyone else to see it. Especially not some weird gorehounds who... I really don't want to know what he's doing to it.

[And the crying kind of catches him by surprise. He'd woken up alone in the castle and he'd figured that maybe Scott had gotten used to him being dead or hadn't gotten to him yet. That a day and a half had gone by was a surprise, but hey, Scott had things to do, right? But no, Scott was crying and he'd been the one to find him and he wanted one of those fucking freaky grinning bastards in front of him so he could get a chainsaw and see if that would mess it up.]

Hey... Hey, buddy. Don't do that. I'm all good, see?

[He held his arms wide, showing a healthy (if tired) looking Stiles.]

I'm glad you got what mattered. I would have been really pissed if I'd lost that stupid hat.

[He wasn't saying how important the pictures were to him because Scott knew.]

[mccallmemaybe]

They're not doing anything to it. We killed them and got your heart back. [ Scott's not certain about that last part. Stiles might have a replacement heart from somewhere. The idea of Stiles having a heart and not knowing where it's from unsettles Scott and he's probably not the only one who feels that way.

It's hard for Scott to look at Stiles right now. He keeps seeing that gaping hole in Stiles' chest even though it's not there anymore. ]

It took forever for your body to disappear. [ It had felt a lot longer than it actually was, time passing by slowly. ] I thought... when they took your heart... there was a chance you wouldn't be brought back. [ Maybe that's what stopped him from going to the castle, because he was scared he'd come out of it without Stiles. ]

[silverkhaleesi]

Stiles, if you need a place to stay you could come over to mine. I admit it is not big or much, but I offer it kindly.

[teenyoda]

[She gets a smile.]

That's really nice, Daenerys, but I'm pretty sure we're not allowed to, uh, mix and match in the god houses.

[There was also the matter of waking up with a dragon potentially trying to eat him.]

video.

[livedtwice]

[The fact that he missed so much while he was gone doesn't help. He knows better than to say that, to dwell on it, but ... he still feels it.]

Did you find a place?

[teenyoda]

[Oh, hey, Harry.]

Yeah, Finnick's going to let me stay with him for as long as I need. I'm going to be working on my room so it's not that long.

You make it through it all okay?

[truesight]

[ Rachel definitely caught that transmission and she definitely didn't hear about how people come back from the dead here, so while she's not panicking ( she's seen stranger things back home ), she can't just- pretend she's not curious. and it's obvious she's asking out of curiosity and not suspicion or anything, but. just. what. ]

Are you okay? I mean, you were- that was-

[ seriously concerned citizen right here ]

[teenyoda]

Yeah, I'm... better. It was crap and I'm getting real tired of dying. It hurts, it sucks, and the inflight movie is terrible.

[His attempt at humor might also suck, but he was still recovering, so he was granted a little itty bit of leeway.

Please.]

[frothing]

What happened to you? [ she missed the whole 'stiles died' thing.]

[teenyoda]

Um, nothing. Nothing happened. Nothing to see here. Just...


Nothing.

[Did you believe his lies, Alex?]

[predators]

Stop dying.

[ a simple request, alright. simple, slightly angry request. ]

Private

[teenyoda]

[That was a bit of a surprise and he tried not to let it show on his face that it was a good one.]

Wasn't exactly something I signed up for.
