Video - Day 446

[teenyoda]

[When the feed clicks on, it shows a dark room with very little light. Anyone who peers a little more closely can see via the light from the screen that the caller, Stiles, is in a bathroom. With the lights off. He appears to be a bit stressed out and is on the floor, looking almost fearfully over behind the screen. There's a clawing noise and little squawks and chirps coming from it.]

Okay. Okay. Um... Okay. Would, ah, would someone mind telling me what the hell a dragon is doing in my house? Like, a real dragon? Oh god... it was trying to eat my feet. I think I'm bleeding. Am I bleeding? I might be. It was chewing on my toes. What the hell... How did a dragon get in my room?

[To anyone that knows Stiles and the aforementioned dragon, something might seem a little... off. Like why Stiles doesn't know said dragon is his.]

Scott? Rachel? Do not come in the house. Seriously. I... it might eat your faces off. I happen to like your faces right where they are. Please don't lose them.

[The fact that Stiles is whispering, sort of, and sounding stressed has Hale scratching a bit more intently at the door, little snout trying to fit in under it as he chirps at 'daddy'.]

Oh god. Oh god, it's going to come in and chew off all my favorite parts. If I don't make it out alive, Rachel, I love you. Scott, please take care of her. Derek... somehow this is Peter's fault. Kick his ass.

I have a chick and she digs what scars I have just fine. I don't need to add to the collection.

[This guy was clearly weird. With a capital weird.]

[runningstart]

[you are confusing 'weird' with 'cool' stiles]

I don't think you're picking up what I'm putting down.

...is it still in your house?

[teenyoda]

Yes. It's trying to get into the room with me. Something that isn't going to be happening any time soon.

[runningstart]

Oh my god it's lonely.

Is it crying outside your door? Scratching at the doorjamb?

[teenyoda]

That's not crying. That's a bloodthirsty wail of disappointment that it's not currently feasting on my entrails.

[runningstart]

How're you gonna know if it doesn't have any entrails to tempt itself with? Geez, man.

Try talking to it through the door! Y'know, like dog owners when they come home from work, all, "Hey buddy, did you miss daddy while he was gone? Didja?" And if the dragon doesn't try to breathe fire into your room, you know it's probably friendly.

[teenyoda]

... Why would I do that? Who does that to something trying to kill them?

[But the sounds of 'daddy' coming from the comm had Hale clawing more fiercely at the door, clearly trying to get to daddy.]

Oh my god. Shut up. Shut up. You're pissing it off.

[runningstart]

Look, you seem pretty distraught, so I'll go over there and take care of your dragon. It's probably just sad and wants a friend.

Where do you live?

[teenyoda]

... I don't know you. I'm not really sure I'm comfortable giving a strange guy I don't know my home address.

[runningstart]

Whoa, suspicious. Sorry that you think a strange guy is more dangerous to you than a dragon. You have fun with that, then.

[teenyoda]

Clearly you don't know me very well if you think suspicious isn't part of my nature.

voice --> video

[runningstart]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I don't know you considering I'm apparently just 'some strange guy.'

Look dude, trust me on this. I'm not gonna rob you or anything, I'm just gonna lure the dragon out. Here. [Wally flicks on his video, and he is the most unimpressive, non-threatening ginger kid ever.] Do I look like a megalomaniac?

[teenyoda]

Does anyone evil always look evil? It's not like they all have goatees and flashing signs that say 'They of Evil Intent' above their heads.

[And because he was feeling particularly Stiles'y today...]

Isn't there some sort of story about redheads having no souls?

[Says the guy who'd been gaga over two and was currently dating one.]

[runningstart]

That is slander, only some of us are soulless.

But guess what I'm not? A dragon. Would you rather have a soulless ginger outside your door or a dragon?

[teenyoda]

Yeah, I know. My girlfriend is a very soulful redhead and would probably break soft things of mine if I might have intimated otherwise. Which I never would.

And that's a... very... iffy subject.

[runningstart]

Well, you get back to me when you make up your mind, champ.

[teenyoda]

Sure, I'll do that.

...

Chief.
