This is Stiles. What's up?

Comments

[calloused]

Two things.

I'm moving the couch into your room. I didn't realize there were other people living here. You could have told me.
And -
Did we talk about where you're working? You've got a job, right?

[blackfly]

There is totally not enough room in my room for the couch. That doesn't even belong to me ? ? ?

I test fidget spinners. I start Tuesday. I don't know what fidget spinners are? ? ?

? ? ?
- Me, 2k18 apparently.

[calloused]

I'll put some of your shit in the hall.

[ hm ]

They're spinny things you fidget with. It's literally right there in the name.
You're gonna be pretty fucked if I'm your guide through the last seven years of cultural fads. I thought planking was still a thing until some kid called me a nerd for talking about it.

[blackfly]

You thought PLANKING was still cool?
Hahaha, get a load of this idiot.

[blackfly]

[Was that an ok joke to make. Processing.]

[blackfly]

Pls don't throw out my stuff

[calloused]

Things are going to hell around here. A magic, rainbow light just spent a week turning a ton of imports into the extended cast of Shivers.
You're the only person I know from home, and you're a messy spaz with too much curiosity for your own good. If I don't keep an eye on you, you're going to get yourself killed, and then when Scott shows up, I'm going to be killed for shirking on my babysitting duties.
I'm either moving your shit so I can do my job or you're gonna come live with me. Your choice.

Also,

[calloused]

Fuck you? You're just mad because you never had the core to try planking.

[blackfly]

Either way this arrangement feels like it's gonna cramp one of our styles? My style. This is going to cramp my style. Stiles' style is being cramped.

Where the hell do you live anyway?

[calloused]

Yeah, okay. If you actually manage find a girl who is attracted to oversized flannel and constantly flailing limbs, just put a sock on the door and I'll leave you alone.
A sock with batman's face on it, seeing as I doubt you own any other kind.

Also, that's not really any of your business? Why does it matter if I'm staying here?

[blackfly]

I have socks with polkadots on them too, y'know.

[Gonna stop baiting a fight about sexual conquests with Derek Hale, no need to fight slash topple down this hill.]

You just said I can live with you if I don't want you living with me, so I wanted to know where me living with you would live versus you living with me here. Do you have cable? Or are we talking wolf den style in the woods, remnants of another creepy house kinda deal because I'll hard pass on that. But also like, dude. I'm pretty sure I know by now, of all times, how not to die. At least involuntarily.

[calloused]

I just don't want you knowing more about me than you need to know?

[ but ok, he does have cable. ]

I do have cable.

[ there, he's talked about his place. ]

You got lucky with Peter. You probably got lucky with all the other shit you've told me about, too. The Darach, the Kanima.
But you're a child. Basically. Even if you weren't, everyone's luck runs out eventually.
Sooner or later, you'll run into something you can't beat on your own. That's why I'm here.

[blackfly]

I already know more about you than I need to know. That sounds ominous but really it's just kinda weird? #friendship

But okay, okay. You can stay. For a little while. But only if we have some mutually agreed upon rules or else I'm dousing everything in mistletoe and you're on the curb. Like no howling after 9PM and knocking. Knock? For the love of God, Derek. Please knock or otherwise announce your presence. It's what normal people do.

[calloused]

I'm an Alpha. I'm the Alpha. I don't have to do what you tell me.

[ he's acting out because stiles said they're friends again. he never agreed to that. ]

[calloused]

So.

I voted for the dog.

[blackfly]

She's a fine looking candidate.

[calloused]

This is my attempt at being proactive. I'm barely even doing this because I'm still annoyed about the whole going-over-my-head-and-registering thing. I believe in the system now. Big on politics.

You should vote for the dog.

[blackfly]

Uhuh. Do you even know what her campaign slogan is?

[calloused]

Yeah.

I like the kid standing behind the dog. And I like the dog. And I don't like anybody else.
And I'm trying to play along. Be an American. Do American things. Like vote.
So.

[blackfly]

If you'll say her slogan in an audio clip for me ("pawsitively" included,) I'll consider voting for the dog.

But I feel like the guy behind her is gonna be the one in office. But he has the Hale stamp of approval? That rare, fleeting thing?

[calloused]

More like the Hale acknowledgement of begrudging acceptance.
He's a coward who hides behind his dog, but he genuinely seems to care about what he's standing for. I'd rather live in a city ruled by someone like that than any of the other contenders.

But yeah. No.
I don't care enough to do that.

[ he only cares enough to fish for stiles' opinion on his opinion, apparently. ]

[blackfly]

God, you are such a mean girl.

It's OK, Derek. You can just admit you have no idea what her slogan is. I know you don't. Growling and flexing doesn't cover up the fact you totally deflected and continue to deflect away from the truth.

Which is that you saw a fuzzy wuzzy lil' dog and voted for her because you thought she was cute. We've all been there. There's no shame here.

[calloused]

Her official slogan is "Making Maurtia Falls somewhere that anyone and everyone can lift their leg safely."
That's not why I'm voting her in, though.
I don't need government approval to piss on things.

She's kind of ugly, honestly. As far as dogs go.

[blackfly]

What's a good looking dog, then? Saluki? Afghan? Bichon Frise?

[calloused]

Wolf.
