inexplicit spoilers for 4.10

[burninhale]

You know how it is. You get older, you start forgetting things — look, if life gives you lemons, then you ... kill everyone, burn the lemon orchard down, and start over. I'm just doing the best with what I've been given.

And. We're not "murder buddies." We hang out in a sewer, we're not having movie nights. Please. Sometimes I think you don't take my very tragic backstory that I repeat at literally every opportunity seriously.

You hang out in a sewer.

[Peter you really should start looking at your life choices.....]

[burninhale]

Hang out in a sewer, plot elaborate murder in a sewer, whatever you kids call it these days.

[semifreakingnormal]

Did you ever think you could maybe just....stop doing that?

[burninhale]

Well, now that you've asked me so nicely, sure. I'll get right on that.

[semifreakingnormal]

Really?

[scott..............]

[burninhale]

[ Scott.

Help yourself to the most judgmental look Peter can make. ]

[semifreakingnormal]

[HE JUST REALLY HOPED FOR A MINUTE THERE]

I mean, is living here and not planning to kill everyone really so bad?

[burninhale]

Scott, I'm pretty sure I shouldn't have to be the one telling you this, but this whole ... thing ...

[ The hopeless optimism thing? The thinking the best of people thing?? The being Scott thing??? ]

... is not how you, as an alpha, protect all the people in your life. Jesus, where's Stilinski? Isn't he in charge of these talks?

[semifreakingnormal]

[What but he likes being Scott, it really works for him except for how people seem to keep dying. :c]

Are you seriously giving me alpha advice right now?

[burninhale]

More like an objective observation. By now, Stiles has to have said something similar, just in a higher pitched voice and with bizarre gestures.

[semifreakingnormal]

You want to kill me. I think that makes you the opposite of objective.

[burninhale]

Oh, so you feel like you're doing a good job, then?

So did my sister. And she was a lot smarter than you.

[semifreakingnormal]

I have no idea what I'm doing, but as long as I don't start going around killing whoever gets in my way, I'm okay with that. I can figure it out, my way.

[burninhale]

Only one person needs to die, Scott, I'm just realistic enough to know a whole lot more will. You're in the same situation, on the other side.

Not to dismiss Kate. But Chris will have his way there, I'm sure.

[semifreakingnormal]

So if you kill me, you'll leave everyone else alone, is that what you're saying?

[For once, hitting the mute button on dat optimism.]

[burninhale]

Of course not. They won't stand around and let it happen.

[semifreakingnormal]

Then what makes you think you can do it?

[burninhale]

[ Instead of an answer, how about an infuriating and secretive smile-shrug combination. Yeah, how about that. ]

I can't really give you my comic book supervillain monologue now, Scott.

[lydiascreams]

Murder buddies? Are you going to try and blame someone else? Or just claim voices in your head?

[burninhale]

That's not really my territory, Lydia. Well, sometimes I am the voice, but we've covered that.

[semifreakingnormal]

[No Peter those are the worst!!]

You know, it probably wouldn't kill you to be decent every now and then.

[lydiascreams]

You're hilarious.

You might want to explain what you meant. You heard the Sheriff, right?

[burninhale]

[ Those tendencies have been getting worse over time. He did the "crushes protagonist in fist" gesture. The supervillainitis is now inoperable. ]

It might kill you, though. Funny how that works.

[semifreakingnormal]

[If only it was terminal.]

I'm not going to let you do it.

[burninhale]

I heard a lot out of the Sheriff. Was there a specific inanity you wanted me to pay attention to?
