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.]

Neither one's really appealing, no. But hey, I don't think you're either.

[notsoneedy]

I like that you don't think that. [Blunt, but true.] If there's one thing I really like about this place so far, it's that most of the people here don't think that.

[He grins a little at that, nodding.]

Well, it'd be kind of messed up if they did, you know? I mean we're on board an inter-dimensional time traveling ship floating through space. Nothing seems too out there after that.

[notsoneedy]

True. In a way, it means I get to be ahead of the curve. Coming here already believing in weird shit. Gives me a leg up on everyone else who doesn't.

[Considering what she went through back home, it doesn't seem like a great trade off to him, but he nods anyway.]

That's very true.

[notsoneedy]

[She knows exactly what he's talking about - but she's reached the point where she has to laugh about it.]

I mean, come on. Can you imagine my face if I came here from just another boring small town where nothing ever happened, and then I saw the aliens here and that one...glowing dude?

[voluntaryapnea]

[He can't help but smile a little at her words because she definitely has a point.]

Yeah I guess that would be a pretty big culture shock, wouldn't it?

[notsoneedy]

Yeah. I kind of feel sorry for the guys and gals that got it that way. There have to be some here that do, right?
