( 015 ) Ω ( VIDEO )

[When the video comes on, there's some fumbling and muttering - 'I got it, I got it' - right before the entire thing tumbles over and cuts out. When it comes on again, the video is steady and Scott is backing away with his hands up like that's the only thing keeping the communicator steady. He stops next to Stiles, shooting him a grin.]

Told you it'd stay.

[They're dressed in their lacrosse gear, maroon jerseys with 'Beacon Hills' across the front. Scott scoops up his stick from the ground, and plants the butt in the dirt beside him.]

We're officially getting a Barge lacrosse league.

[Because how many of you need a distraction??? Scott sure does.

And so does Stiles. He immensely needs a distraction, and lacrosse seems like a pretty healthy thing for him to channel his energy into and focus on. He leans against Scott and looks at the communicator -- which is inevitably going to fall at some point.]


And before you say you don't know how to play, or you've never heard of lacrosse, that's okay. We'll tell you everything you need to know. Scott here is the captain of the team back home in Beacon Hills and I am no longer just warming the bench.

[He grins. Scott matches it, nodding enthusiastically.]

Yeah, totally. I know a few of you are already down, and the rest of you - I'll come sing outside your door, okay, don't make me do it. We're in the CES, we've got the door, like, propped open with a rock. [A really big rock that he had to lug over.] I've got plenty of gear, so we can start right away. And everyone's welcome! Inmate, warden, whatever. So come and--shit!

[The inevitable has come, and Scott dives for the communicator as it tumbles forward, giving a whirlwind view of sky and dirt. In the background, you can hear Stiles'] Dude, I told you! [before the feed cuts out completely.]

No, it's totally not mandatory. But you should come and hang out anyway!
videocamera: (dude don't eat all the pringles okay?)

[Why would you even want to ask him though.]

Um, I-- I don't know if it's really my thing, man...
voluntaryapnea: (paying attention)

[personal profile] voluntaryapnea 2014-06-09 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Well, I mean there's no pressure. If you want to come and see what it's about, you're welcome to. If you don't want to stay, that's all right, too.

[Yep, he's definitely starting to take after Scott these days, talking to people and trying to make them comfortable. He has no idea when that even started.]
videocamera: (i don't have any friends)

[personal profile] videocamera 2014-06-09 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't even know anything about lacrosse, you know? [Buuuuuuut everything else so far has been weird and people have been nice and maybe it'll be different than high school?] I... Yeah, I might come check it out. For a little while.
voluntaryapnea: (half smile)

[personal profile] voluntaryapnea 2014-06-10 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I get it. But to be fair, most people don't. It's not as popular as other sports even if it's way cooler. [He grins.] Sounds good, man. Hopefully see you soon.
videocamera: (geez okay calm down)

[personal profile] videocamera 2014-06-15 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, okay. [He sounds just the teeniest bit shocked; other kids actually seeming to want to hang out with him is so. strange.] See you there, I guess?
voluntaryapnea: (half smile)

[personal profile] voluntaryapnea 2014-06-15 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods.] See you there!
