Well, this is it. This is the end. I've been stabbed, shot, electrocuted, set on fire, come back from the dead, and this is what did it. I'm ready to lie down in a grave now. It's all gone, it's over, farewell.








Except coffins and grave plots actually cost money. Which we no longer have. Add to that —

...

No, let's focus on the money. I don't think we need to discuss anything else.

Oops?

[Maybe he should have closed the secret passage behind him?]

[burninhale]

[ Peter would have left it open when he came down, anyway. Because how else would he get his super dramatic shadow coming down the stairs before him? ]

It's not your fault.

That you're an idiot, I mean.

[coldsteelblue]

What?

[The heck, Peter. This is totally Kate's fault. Derek didn't know she was a treacherous biatch during that time. :|]

It's not my fault you just leave that kinda money laying around. There are such things as savings accounts.

[burninhale]

Derek. Think. Our family is suspiciously long-lived. The bonds weren't started by me.

Now, maybe they should've been removed at some point. But for reasons I really can't get into at this time, I can't have a savings account. Or any kind of bank account. Don't ask.

[coldsteelblue]

Right and this is my fault. But you're the one who's clearly in trouble with Uncle Sam you can't even get a simple bank account. Nice to know you turned out well.

You're losing your touch, Pete. The old Peter would have come up with something extravagant and overly dramatic like... Like burying the bonds in casket underneath a made-up grave plot. [Shrugs.]

[voluntaryapnea]

Well that's definitely dramatic.

Which isn't surprising, really.

[burninhale]

117 million in bonds. 117 million in bonds.

[voluntaryapnea]

You're alive. Your kid is alive. Be happy about that at least. It could've gone a lot worse considering who was behind the heist.

[burninhale]

Thanks, Mr. Rogers. I'm really grateful for your positive perspective attained by years of experience wearing a cardigan and talking to wooden puppets. It's really helping me deal with the fact that my family is mostly dead and completely broke while our greatest enemy in years stalks the streets as one of us.

[voluntaryapnea]

You could, you know. Get a job. Like a normal person.

[smilederek]

Don't be so dramatic. We can just bury you under some floorboards again.

It'll be cheap.

[burninhale]

That's very generous coming from the guy who let Kate Argent and a thief into our family vault.

[smilederek]

[Shrug. Derek doesn't look as guilty as he will doubtless turn out to be next episode.]

At least I could depend on my older, wiser uncle, who wasn't an amnesiac teenager at the time, to protect our belongings.

[burninhale]

We'll trade places next time. You can deal with a flashbang in an underground vault.

[smilederek]

Normally I'd be fine with that, but our trading places would have hinged on you not running away at the first hint of danger.

[lydiascreams]

Excuse you.

Coming back from the dead was actually your choice.

[burninhale]

Of course. But it wasn't fun and games, as I'm sure you recall.

[lydiascreams]

Vividly.

I recall how much fun it wasn't for me.

[burninhale]

As is your prerogative. I'm surprised you don't think more about it, though. You see and hear the dead from your firm, still living place in the world. What is it they see and hear from theirs?

[ He smiles very politely. Behaving. At least, comparatively. ]

[lydiascreams]

Well, lucky for me, you're no longer in my head. Unfortunately for you that means you don't get to figure out what I think about or not.

[And she does think about it. A lot. And it makes her angry. Because she feels insecure and incapable. And those are two things Lydia Martin hates feeling.]

[robinofthepack]

Sounds like you're kind of screwed, huh? Should I pick you up a McDonalds application or is work not an option for you?

[burninhale]

You know what, you should. And bring it to me, yourself, personally. So I can thank you. For being so thoughtful.

And for being so kind and friendly to — people. General, non-specific people.

[robinofthepack]

Wow, that doesn't really sound general and non-specific. Maybe I'll just have Derek give it to you.

Because there's literally only one person I can think of that I've genuinely been kind and friendly to lately, so I'm going to have to decline the offer to thank me in person.

[burninhale]

One thing I find remarkable about you, Stilinski, is the endless innovation. You're always coming up with new ways to be disappointing.

I'm not saying I disapprove, of course. There's no reason at all for me to say that.

[ Slight emphasis on "say." ]

[robinofthepack]

I'm disappointing? Remember when you left Scott and your daughter to deal with the berserkers alone?

A+ parenting there, douchebag.
