[Private to pack + friends]

Uhhh, so, I guess if you saw Cassel and Chris' post, you know I'm kinda getting kidnapped.

[He's sitting in his room, on his bed, with a packed backpack next to him. He's not wearing his hideous Christmas sweater anymore, but he's still looking lighter than he did before he put it on. Just getting the chance to do nice things for people, to have fun without worrying, did a lot of good for him.]

I mean, obviously not kidnapped, but I'm gonna go to Cassel's world with them. It shouldn't be that long - I'll make sure we're back in a few days.

[Because he does not plan on spending years there, no matter how much he wants to see Daneca.]

I'll see you all soon. Maybe I'll bring you guys back some awesome gloves.

[Private to Clementine]

I'm gonna be back. Is there anything you need before I go?

[Private to Admiral Claus]

I haven't done this since I was, like, eight, but okay. I'm totally game.

Stiles - He needs a new titanium bat, annnnnd a Batman costume. Oh, and a snuggy.

Lydia - Some new...makeup? And a book about banshees. Like, from our world? If you can? If there are any. If not, I dunno, just. A good book about banshees.

Isaac - A new scarf, some comics he doesn't have, or hasn't had in a while, and...Actually, can you change my cabin? To add the other rooms on my floor. he can stay in the guest room, if he wants.

Allison - Definitely a nerf bow and arrow set, and - and a photo album that's just, like, stuffed with good memories from home.

Kira - Can you get her, like, light bulbs that won't explode, no matter how much electricity she puts into them? Or light bulbs that do different things when she lights them up. I think she'd do something cool with that. And maybe, like - a picture of a fox and a wolf? Like, just hanging out. Getting along.

Jackson - Um....man, I don't know. New lacrosse gear? New clothes?

Cassel - A white Michael Jackson glove. Just the one. And like...okay, can you get him a family photo? Like, of his family, and then another of his family here? Like, the one he was born into, and the one he made.

Peter - Spider-Man underwear. And...I need to change my deal. But I'll tell him that myself.

Gwen - A chemistry set, and like, aset of some chemistry books from the future. And a chocolate house.

Anya - A picture of the mountains, the ones around where she grew up? And, oh oh, those like, fake Wolverine claws, and...can you get like, glacial ice? preserved glacial ice, or something? That she can keep?

Ben - His own lacrosse gear, with his name on it and everything, and like, Moustrap, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Sorry - a ton of board games. We're gonna play.

Abigail - A book on veterinary medicine - I still dunno if she'd be into it, but maybe she will be? And a book on sisters, like one for kids? And a coupon for unlimited hugs.

Chris - Bionic boy comics. Is that a thing? Can you make it a thing? And a train ticket to Jersey.

Mal - Fake vampire teeth, like for Halloween - and a drum set. Cause she looks like she should play the drums.

Bucky - Captain America comics - the ones from his world! Just those! And new clothes, and some like...decorations for his room. Oh yeah, and speakers that can plug into an iPod.

Steve - An American Flag, and an iPod with 15 different versions of that song we sang for his birthday.

Sylvanas - A back up iPod, but can you put some good EDM on this one?

Iris - A dozen whiskey sours, and....a pink boa. She'll like that.

Zane - I'll write him a thank you note. Can you give him, like, a a white rose or something?

Dean - A skateboard. He looks like he could use some more fun in his life.

Clementine - Ummm....A new Bible? I guess? And, how about a dog whistle, for whenever she gets annoyed with me?

Dillon - Stardust. Can you actually hold stardust? And how about some pictures of his friends? I dunno if he has any.

Connor - Okay, he needs lacrosse stuff too - maybe just new pads and stuff? If he has his own stick, it's probably awesome.

Cassandra - Okay, some pictures of home and....A...bat keychain?

Everyone else - Okay, everyone else needs a monogrammed stocking like, stuffed to overflowing with candy and stuff.

No. But I don't understand why you're going.

[So dispassionate.]

...Did you ever meet Daneca Wasserman, when she was here?

Never.

[Lydia isn't at all sure how to deal with this. She doesn't have her sweater on, either. But she's been more at peace knowing that right now, there's nothing she can do, especially regarding everything when it comes to Allison. Except hope she finds what she's looking for.

She's decided to focus on herself. On her and Stiles. On Andrew. On things she can and should be working on. And that's made her feel more balanced than spending all her energy on things that have happened back home and she has no control over.

But now Scott says he's going away, too. And that balance is suddenly lost again.

It's not that she doesn't understand Scott needing a break. She does. They all desperately need a break. But him leaving? Now? While Allison is gone? It's the first time since she really got to know Scott that she's actually disappointed in him.

She'll try not to let it show, though. Not until she knows more about his reasons behind this trip. But she doesn't plan on dancing around the subject, either.]

Why are you going with them?

Edited 2014-12-12 02:10 (UTC)

[He can't smell it on her from here, but something makes him hesitate when she asks. He doesn't want her to be disappointed in him.]

Because I miss Daneca.

[He won't deny that. Can't. But it's not the only reason.]

And I think Cassel will deal with it all better if I go, too.

[Maybe Cassel doesn't need him the way that the others might need him - but he knows when he can do good somewhere, with someone.

He doesn't dance around his question, either.]

Are you mad at me? For going now?

Yes.

[She doesn't hate him, obviously. She's not going to throw some kind of a fit. But she won't lie to him, either. They both deserve better than that.]

I won't tell you what to do. [This time.]

If you think that's where you need to be, then I hope it's good for you.

I just don't agree with you leaving now anymore than I agree with Allison.

[He gets it. He knows why Scott is going with them. He wishes the timing was different, but he still gets it. And after everything, he can't begrudge this of his best friend, even if part of him kind of wants to. So he smiles faintly.]

Tell her I said hi.

I will.

[But he can see it, because he can read Stiles better than he can read himself. And with the conversation with Lydia echoing in his thoughts, he stands.]

Can I stop by?

Dude. You don't ever need an invitation.

[He smirks at him.]

[She keeps it simple.]

Come back soon and safe, okay?

I will.

[He feels like he should say something else - like she deserves to hear something else from him - but he doesn't have the words. He doesn't think the right words exist, because there's a world of maybes between them, or could be's, but he's never had to weigh that against is.

So he just smiles at her, wishing they were both older, or wiser, or just in the right place at the right time together.]

I will. Keep an eye on everyone?

[Kira isn't going to let you see or hear the cracking of her heart, Scott. But on the bright side, since coming to the Barge it's taken a few knocks, and this isn't even the worst.]

Of course. [She starts to say something else, then decides to make like Elsa and let it go. Instead, she reasserts her smile]

I hope you find what you're looking for.

[Dean wasn't really expecting it to happen this quickly, per se, but then again maybe that's for the best. No one has time to get suspicious, and the curse is at its strongest on Lydia, both of which are of nearly equal import; he'd been hoping Scott would be the one to take him up on the only stipulation he could reasonably make, though he'd have dealt with whoever showed up.

Dean has never had a taste for outright manipulation, but he's never been stupid.

The door doesn't even lock, but Dean leaves it open an inch or so for Scott anyway, sipping on a beer where he's sitting perched on the edge of his cot.]

Damn. You weren't kidding.

Yeah, I'm kinda fast.

[He's also kinda grinning. Not in a horribly terrifying manic way; he doesn't feel Christmas-crazy. He actually feels pretty great, more relaxed than he's been in a long time, and he wants to take advantage of it. And he can totally do that by decorating Dean's room.

He sets down a box full of tinsel and wreaths and assorted goodies after he nudges into the room, then straightens to cross his arms and look around the room. Lydia's totally better at this but hey - he's assessing.]

Okay, so, how about a big wreath right there, and I can put tinsel across here, and maybe, like, some confetti...

[He's already rummaging in the box.]

[Dean's eyes drop to the lines at the door as Scott crosses them; with the warning he was able to sweep the mountain ash aside before he arrived, sitting in a neat pile to one side ready to be scattered back out into a line. Despite his demonic self's best efforts, Dean has managed to repair some of the protections he'd once had this place sealed up tight with, but those at the door are always the first defense.

Dean is assessing, too, head tilted slightly and watching the teenager intently as he looks and moves around, shrugging at the question.]

You're the expert. I'm just here for the show. How long you been wearing that thing?

You know touch isn't the only threat.

[He doesn't, probably. But that's what she's for.]

Edited 2014-12-12 15:04 (UTC)

What do you mean?

Family - family like Cassel's. They can twist you up. Make you feel like you owe them, that you're a terrible traitor and a terrible person, that you ought to give them whatever they want, that you always should have. Just by talking.

They can hurt you so badly, and sometimes they will.

Have fun. Anything you want me to do while you're gone? Plants that need watering, laundry to do, vampires that need constant supervision...

Definitely that last one. Think you can just like, web him to the wall forever? Squeeze blood packs in his general direction?

[Mickey's calmed down a little since Chris and Cassel's post, but he's not really any happier about this decision of theirs. Scott has never truly been his friend, and he's less likely to be now, but they were allies once and he's enough of Chris's friend to be going with them. It's something, anyway.]

'ey, um...

[He's not sure why now, why this is the last straw, but he knows he's reached that point -- just like he had when he'd attacked Dean, just like he had when he'd come out -- where he just can't take anymore sitting around and letting shit happen.]

Sharpe tell you anything about his folks?

Edited 2014-12-14 23:14 (UTC)

[He saw some of it on Cassel's post - hard to miss - but Scott is good about not prying. He closed his ears and went to pack instead.]

Some, I guess. [He's not cagey, but not open about it, either. There's a thin line between not his to talk about, and protecting his friend.]

He misses them. His brother, and his grandad and all. Why?

[He shrugs uncomfortably.]

You gonna be around for it when the big meet-and-greet goes down? Them and Chris?

I'm pretty sure I can handle Jersey.

I mean, maybe not the smell...
