on trying new things

[bluejeep]

Hey, so I know you are a little bit overwhelmed right now with all these new things - and by all I mean just switching over to a new method of doing things - but try to calm down, okay? I don't want to have to live inside a head that is constantly exploding. It's no bueno.

We both know I'm freaking out enough for the both of us.

Just take it easy. It's not like I have things I want to be doing. Like working on my lacrosse game. Or my Lydia game No, that's over now.

Whatever.

Your lacrosse game's not too bad.

[bluejeep]

Thanks Lydia.

[A pause. He's uncertain how to proceed, compliments aren't something he is used to hearing from her.]

I was glad you could make it.

[secretgenius]

Thank you. I'm glad we made it in time to help Jackson.

[bluejeep]

Looks like he'll finally have everything he's ever wanted.

[secretgenius]

I think he might still be a little freaked by everything that's happened.

[bluejeep]

He made his choice. I guess he'll learn to live with it.

[He blinks. This topic isn't one he is comfortable with. Jackson's feelings aren't high on his list of concerns.]

How are you handling it?

[secretgenius]

Me? Oh, I'm resilient. Can you do me a favor, though, Stiles?

[bluejeep]

[Surprise shows clearly on his face.]

Does it involve bodily harm on my part?

[secretgenius]

[Gives him a weird look.] No.

I LOVE him =D

[mightletyouknowme]

You're on a sport team? [Which means he's popular, right?]

Stiles is the BEST

[bluejeep]

Yeah, but I'm more of a bench warmer, to be honest with you.

Do you play?

^_^ Isn't he?

[mightletyouknowme]

Eh...? O..of course not, the great Sena Kashiwazaki doesn't have time for things like that!

[That may not be the real reason but shhh]

[bluejeep]

Is that who you are? Sena Kashiwazaki? It's a bit of a mouthful.

[mightletyouknowme]

It's a dignified Japanese name!

Who are you suppose to be?

[bluejeep]

If you're Japanese, why are you speaking in English?

I'm Stiles?

[mightletyouknowme]

Eh? Of course I know some English but you're speaking Japanese.

[Gotta love community translators!]

[bluejeep]

I'm pretty sure I'm not, actually.

I don't even speak Japanese.

[lycanthropos]

[... Huh.]

So you are here, too. [Wherever here is. He is still trying to get that figured out.]

[bluejeep]

Yeah, I guess I am. Why wouldn't I be?

[lycanthropos]

[Head tilt.]

Because a lot of people seem to be missing. Besides you and Lydia, I still haven't seen anyone.

[bluejeep]

[A look of pure panic shows on his face.]

What are you talking about? I saw Scott earlier today!

[lycanthropos]

[And he frowns, a little.]

He is here, too? [Well, at least that. ... He supposes. In case he can't find anyone from his pack around.] So you are not alone? He's with you?

[bluejeep]

I mean, not right this second. I'm at my house.

What are you talking about, Derek?

[lycanthropos]

At your house?

[... Okay. So the frown is slightly deeper now, a mix between suspicion and confusion. And perhaps a little bit of, erm. Uncertainty.]

... I'm not-- I haven't been-- [home] -- I haven't been in Beacon Hills for a while now.

Got dragged into this place and didn't see any familiar faces until your lovely female friend found me. She said she didn't know where anyone else was, either. [And that was about as much as she said, too.]

[bluejeep]

Yeah? The place I live?

[Confusion is decidedly marked on his face. Derek is known for his oddities, but this seems a step above.]

My who? What are you talking about? Did you hit your head anytime recently?
