This is Stiles. What's up?

Comments

[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.

[calloused]

[ wait that answer won't get him anywhere good ]

[calloused]

Why did I message you

[blackfly]

Because I'm your only friend. Besides that other one.

So a Tamaskan, then. Gooood looking dogs, says Derek Hale. Purveyor of dogs.

[calloused]

I have more than one friend besides you.

[ just most of them are cats who hate him and the others he doesn't like enough to tell them where he lives. so ]

Let's stop talking about sexy, sexy dogs before things get weird.

[blackfly]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're the one throwing sexual attraction into this simply platonic conversation. Wow, way to make it weird, Derek. Weirdo. You're such a weirdo?

[calloused]

[ is it too early to start spamming bye at each other? hmm. ]

So how's work.

[blackfly]

It started off great. Kid with ADHD play with toys all day.

Did you know, fidget spinners get boring after about thirty seconds holding of holding one.

[calloused]

You could always quit and take my old job. I think they're still trying to hire someone.
Not that I've kept tabs on it, or anything.

You'd make a better cub scout than I did. The kids would like you. You've got the same kinda brain.

[blackfly]

Wait you worked with scouts?
Someone thought it was a good idea to put you near children?

[calloused]

Fuck you?

I did try to sell them when I first arrived, admittedly.

[blackfly]

Pretty sure that's illegal yet dramatically in character for you.

Were there any discounts on cookies or is that only girl scouts?

[calloused]

No cookies.
Mostly just sat there while they told me about all the cool shit they could do, honestly. One of them had a pocket knife? I guess that could be used for cookie discounts. Through armed robbery.

[blackfly]

I want a pocket knife.
Can I be a scout instead of a
whatever you were
"Eagle Master One"

[calloused]

Depends on how capably you can pretend to be six years old, I guess. Shouldn't be too hard.

Beagle Master One.

[blackfly]

Can I tell you a thing that I was trying not to tell you because you're gonna either laugh or give me a smarmy look which I can already picture even though right now you're incapable of physically looking at me unless you're doing that stalky stalk thing again?

[calloused]

I can always see you, Stiles. I can always see everyone.

Shoot.
