005. Rub a Dub Dub Apparently -- Video

[voluntaryapnea]

[The device clicks on and reveals a dripping wet and more than slightly annoyed Stiles Stilinski standing in the middle of his bathroom, fully clothed. There are suds all over his shirt, and in his hair.]

So, there's a very clear reason for that saying be careful what you wish for, apparently. Except I haven't made any wishes and somehow I ended up fully clothed and in a bubble bath with a rubber duck.

[He holds the rubber duck up as evidence and shakes his head a little. It's annoying, but he knows it could've been a lot worse. Still. He'd been in the middle of working on his database. It's the second time in twenty-four hours that he's had something really weird happened. The first being when Needy had teleported into his room and scared the crap out of him.]

So okay not a huge deal but please don't do it again. [Whoever did it. Because no.]

No offense, Stiles. But that's a lame childhood fantasy.

[voluntaryapnea]

Gasp. How can you say that? Who wouldn't want to teleport anywhere their heart desired with no consequences!?

[notsoneedy]

Teleporting isn't even one of my usual powers, and I'm already sick of it. Wouldn't flying be much cooler anyway?

[voluntaryapnea]

Okay point. Flying would be cooler than teleporting.

[imfollowinghim]

[Oh, he will. If it makes you feel better, it probably means he thinks of you as a friend!!]

You sure? Obviously someone doesn't think so.

[voluntaryapnea]

[That does make him feel better.]

Well I don't generally take bubble baths, but I definitely shower daily.

[imfollowinghim]

Good to know. I'll make sure to tell everyone I run into.

[voluntaryapnea]

Thank you!

Actually found the culprit behind the whole situation.

[imfollowinghim]

Was it Scott?

[voluntaryapnea]

Hah, no. No, it was Lydia, actually. Scott got the same treatment. So I feel better now.

[imfollowinghim]

Good to know you've got someone watching your back.

[voluntaryapnea]

Or dunking me in the bathtub at random.

[imfollowinghim]

I bet I can think of ten other things that'd be worse.

[voluntaryapnea]

Touche.

[notsoneedy]

I wish this stupid fucking ship hadn't taken my powers away. Then I could levitate and show you. It's not the same as flying, but it's pretty damn close.

[voluntaryapnea]

Maybe you'll get them back at some point. [He's not really sure, but he knows that Morgana has her magic here and that she's an inmate.] But for the record, I believe you.

[adelphoktonos]

You don't?

[voluntaryapnea]

Nah. I don't need it. You're welcome to it if you want.

[notsoneedy]

Who knows. [She's not holding her breath, though. A lot of her life got messed up and then it just kept getting worse and worse.] I'm glad that you believe me, though. I'm not so used to that anymore.

[voluntaryapnea]

We can hope. [That, however, doesn't surprise him to hear. That she isn't used to people believing her about these things.]

Yeah, well. I get that. I mean, when I told my dad that werewolves were a real thing? He thought I was a lying liar who lies. [And okay, he has lied a lot to his dad over the years but they were mostly for good reasons.] Or that I was crazy. Probably both, actually.

[It might not be an issue for Lydia normally, but it's a bit of an issue for Stiles. He's extremely self-conscious.]

Okay. If you want some tea or something later, text me, okay?

[notsoneedy]

When I tried to warn people about Jennifer at first, nobody believed me. They thought I was making shit up, or that I was going all unhinged like a rusty door because I was there the night it all began, when there was a big fire and lots of people died.

Then after I killed her, at least no one thought I was lying anymore. Just that I was psychotic.

[Not Lydia, there is only one part of her body she's self-conscious about but she's learned tricks to take the attention away from the claw scars on her side over the years.]

Thank you, I will. And if you wanna come by later, I've got these from another wish...

[She holds up a couple of the Harry Potter books that showed up in her room.]

[A genuine smile lights up his face. He has fond memories of the Harry Potter series. His mom used to read them to him when he was younger, before she'd gotten sick.]

Did you get all of them or just those?

[voluntaryapnea]

Yeah that sounds pretty par for the course when you're dealing with supernatural stuff. Most people think it's all crap.

I kinda...think that might be worse.
