Video - Day 412 (Locked from Rachel)

[teenyoda]

Locked from Rachel

[The screen blinks on to show Stiles -- looking behind him.]

No... No, Hale. Guard the door. Let me know if Rachel comes back. Guard, Hale. Get mommy.

[There's a few chirps that follow, then Stiles looks back at the screen, the trademark 'I didn't do anything' look on his face. (Scott is probably very familiar with this look. So is his dad.)]

Uh, hey. So...

I have a sort of favor to ask. Or, really, just some advice. I sort of want to, um, do something for Rachel. Like, take her out on a date-date while it's quiet. I don't know how long we'll have before the next batch of shit hits the fan, so I...

[He pauses, looking down and trying not to show that he was thinking back to the incident with the lightning guys.]

I don't want to do anything funerally for her after she-- after that, so I sort of want to just... move past it? Maybe make sure she doesn't think about it any time soon.

[Because both of them waking up from nightmares would just be dumb.]

So yeah. Kind of looking for some tips on places to take her or ideas on things to do that might maybe border on the romantic. I love the Highwind, but taking your girlfriend to the place you both work isn't exactly a 'sweep you off your feet' maneuver. I'd just... I want to do something nice. Ideas would be welcome.

Rachel doesn't want to be swept off her feet. [Duh.]

[teenyoda]

I didn't mean literally. I just... I wanna wow her. We hang out a lot and I kind of want to do something special.

[The answer seems simple enough to her, and if it's for a woman who's come to a sorry end here, so much the more reason to answer.]

Why not take her to a different restaurant? There must be a suitably nice one here.

That's the thing. I don't really know any other ones. Been busy not-dying again and... stuff to go find out about the fine dining available in Asgard.

How touching.

[Dripping with sarcasm.]

I was looking for dating advice, not how to be forever alone.

Spend time with her. Do something you enjoy together. [He eyes the camera dryly, a little doubtful about the man who may be looking back at him. It doesn't exactly take advanced logic to figure this out. But if he really needs it laid out...] Something simple, and private. If your lady knows you're trying, and you're both together, that will be enough.

[teenyoda]

But... we do that already. We always hang out together. Which is cool. I'm not saying it's not. I'm down for all the Rachel time. Really. I just... kinda wanna do something a little special for her.

Funerally? [ Frowny face. ]

Private: Video

[teenyoda]

Funerally. She...

[Okay, it was hard for him to talk about, even if it had only been temporary. Jesus, she'd gotten under his skin.]

She died during that last oopsie with the weird lightning guys. They were apparently from her world so she... thought she should go out and deal with them. Only she's not strong enough yet to draw the magic swords or whatever and--

I just want to do something nice for her, bro.

Have you thought about a nice little picnic? Homemade food, a little wine and dine, maybe the sunset...

[teenyoda]

... No, I hadn't actually. I should have. That's... kind of a really good idea.

[Did he sound surprised? Maybe. Why hadn't he thought of that?]

You, um, have any idea what kind of picnic food is good for that kind of thing?

[unkneaded]

You could try cooking for her yourself instead of taking her somewhere.

[teenyoda]

Someone mentioned a picnic with homemade food and that actually sounds pretty good. I'm just trying to think of what kind of food one packs for a romantic picnic. I don't think chicken salad is going to cut it.

[comeonthensexy]

Ohhh, a first date?

[ Exciting. ]

[teenyoda]

... Oh my god, it totally is a first date.

[Good going, Stilinski. How the hell had you managed to, ah, do what you'd done without having a date first?]

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Does Miss Rachel have a favorite flower?

[teenyoda]

Oh my god.

I don't know.

I need a spy. A Rachel information spy.

[bonnypiperlad]

Does she like horses? Ye could always go riding together.

[teenyoda]

These questions are good, but I totally don't know the answer. Now I'll have to covertly figure this stuff out.

[sufferably]

"Funerally."

( oh wait, that's it. )

Private

[teenyoda]

Remember what I told you about death not being permanent? Doesn't mean it's any fun to watch or go through.

[doggedly]

[all right, dating advice, got it. but first things first, man--]

You don't want to do anything funerally. Well, that's a good first instict, I'd say.

That wasn't actually an option, was it.

[teenyoda]

What? NO...

Not this time. I mean, you can really only do a wake once before it just gets old, right?

video;

[wasthemaster]

[...what if he just responds by snickering? Is that okay? It's mostly at "sweeping off of her feet", not at a dying Rachel.]

Stilinski, remind me of your power again?

[teenyoda]

[What if he sets Draco's hair on fire through the video? What if, huh?]

Why?

[So much suspicion laced in that one word.]

i'm sorry i'm late to this ;;

[gymnast]

[ Allison definitely picks up on that "funerally" part of this, but she's going to try to ignore it for Stiles' sake. Even if she really, really wants to just :| at both of them. Even if she hasn't yet met Rachel... ]

Have you even been down to the lake together? Scott took me there once and it was really romantic. [ Of course, that was also the day he gave her the anchor ring, so that might have something to do with it. ]

♥ No such thing

[teenyoda]

Uh, no. We haven't really left our rooms much. Or work. Kind of...

Yeah, okay, so... lake? The lake. Huh. Yeah, that sounds pretty nice. I think I've settled on a picnic and that'd be a good spot to have it. Colors reflecting off the water and all that.
