001 ♕ Video

[When the video turns on, the screen is streaked with water. The indignant gasps of a young woman sputtering as the image lifts - whomever it is, they apparently woke up in the fountain and are none too pleased about it.]

--- can't believe this, what the hell

[More movement, and it's evident that the young woman is soaking wet and none too pleased about it. Finally though, the device is turned upward so that a redhaired, green eyed young woman with lips pressed together tightly in dismay stares down at it.]

Where am I?

[ The splash distracts him from dinner. He knows it's rude to be on the phone or to text but the way the network works... His mother doesn't mind if he glances down. ]

It's Lydia.

[ He swallows what he's chewing and picks up the device, his face coming into view. ]

Lydia! Hey. [ A furrowed brow. ] You were dropped in the fountain. [ King of the obvious: Scott McCall ]

[ Beacon Hills has no fountains like that. Score one for Lydia Martin! ]

I do. Stay there. Don't move. [ He gets up, running away from the screen -- ceiling comes into view and then his face returns. ] Well, get out of the fountain. I can bring a towel. Or, two. [ And he's up again. This time for a little bit longer. The sound of a door opening, closing and then Scott picks the device up, looking down at her. ] I'll be there in five minutes. Just - stay there.

[ He offers a hopeful closed-mouth smile. ]

[ Scott can walk and talk. He's talented like that. ]

It's called the City. Think of it like a universe parallel to ours. Deities were given the job to bring us here and mess with us and we can't leave. It's like a dimensional pocket.

[personal profile] affectioning 2013-08-14 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
The deities or whoever hired them wasn't very original.

[ That is just the truth. ]

We are. [ Sometimes, he has to remind himself Lydia is a genius. Sometimes, he's also very impressed. ] I've been here three weeks. My mom about a week. Isaac less than a week. Derek and Stiles about a year. [ He lets that sink in before adding. ] What's the last thing you remember?

[ His eyes go wide. That's not okay. That's disturbing. Automatically, his protective streak kicks in and he speeds up. Luckily, he rounds the corner and looks up. She's a few feet away but she's there. In person. And Ms. Blake? If Ms. Blake tried to kill Lydia - and she took the sheriff - she's the darach.

But, he doesn't have time to contemplate all this because he's jogging up to her. He'll stew on it silently. Ask only the bare minimum of questions. He should've asked her to be vague. He doesn't want to know this, doesn't want to worry. Not that this is her fault - or any of theirs.

The sheriff. ]


Hey.

[ He tries giving her an encouraging look but he's been caught off guard. ] Ms. Blake our English teacher? [ But, he doesn't wait for her to confirm it - her eyes and her neck do enough of that. ] You're right about the timestream. We're all from different points in time. Isaac is from a memorial recital at school. My mom and I are from the night I saved Deaton - you guys went to save Derek from the alpha pack. Stiles is from a few weeks before that and Derek's from the end of last year right after Gerard.

[There's stillness before he speaks.]

Lydia.

A year. Have you spoken to Stiles?

[ He's not going to be surprised when she remembers them all. ][ But, he takes in a big breath. ] She's the darach, isn't she? [ But, he shakes that thought away. He can't do anything about that now. ]

Oh. Yeah. [ He holds out the two towels he brought with his left hand. He'd forgotten they were there. ] Sometimes, we go back. We're sent back but we don't remember this place and it's not when or if we want to. [ Which is convenient, let him tell you. He deliberately keeps his eyes away from her neck. The mark is still fresh. ]
lupusalpha: (Derek - don't touch me)

[personal profile] lupusalpha 2013-08-14 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Somehow that doesn't surprise me.

[ He probably won't ask. For several reasons. ]

My mom and I got an apartment. It's a few blocks away. [ He gestures his head in the direction he came in. He'd ask if she was coming with but, she's going with him. So, that's one less problem. ] We have two extra rooms. [ He's not going into Stiles. And Isaac. And Derek. Not yet. ] We're not adults so we get a - an allowance. So, you'll be okay for money monthly. It's different here. Colored.

He'll find you eventually.

[That's...actually the reason.]

[Oh dear. More kids. This is getting out of control.]

Are you all right?
lupusalpha: (Derek - doubt)

[personal profile] lupusalpha 2013-08-14 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Probably a lot of things. Scott will explain it.

[personal profile] affectioning 2013-08-14 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I don't know if my mom'll let you -- [ Even he tried to get a drink her first night here. She downed martinis like it was her business. He's walking, now. ] But, I have to go to a friend's birthday tonight. Would you want to come with me? Stiles knows Ginny, too. And I think we're making Isaac go. [ Derek is a lost cause. Wow, Scott, just throw everything at her at once. ]
