008 ♕ Video

[lefthandedgenius]

[On the day of the Boney Attack, the fact that Lydia has turned on the video feed without her makeup being perfectly in place is a testament to how terrified she is.]

There's so much death out there, it's feels like a weight against my chest. I can't escape it. I can't sleep, I can't eat, it feels like I'm choking on it.

[Lydia Martin, human geiger counter for death. And right now there's a lot of dead men walking.]

I wish Allison was here.

I'm not leaving the apartment, and I've got the door locked, but I'm really scared.

Stiles, Scott, Derek [Yeah, even Derek.] - let me know you're okay. Julie, Pavel, Lucy, Uhura, any and all of you who are my friends, stay safe.

I'm fine. Bar the door.

[lefthandedgenius]

Okay.

[Not even getting in Derek's grill, that's how scared.]

[lupusalpha]

[He would send Isaac, but no Isaac. He has to go find Stiles, and he doesn't know where Scott is. The only other person is Peter, who has his own shit to deal with-]

Stay safe.

[candothat]

Lydia? Do you have everything that you need?

[lefthandedgenius]

I don't know where Stiles is, but there's food and water and I've blocked the door. It's just -- I can feel them, and I can feel the death they're going to cause.

Are you and Lucy okay? And the rest of the crew?

[candothat]

This is because of your banshee senses?

I have not found Lucy. I will tell you if I find Stiles.

You mean you can actually feel it? Physically? That's not some kind of extended metaphor for how fucked up all of this is? Because it's completely fucked up, I agree, but you make it sound like you can sense death, which is... either a very useful talent or an incredibly awful one.

[A long pause.]

Sorry. I'm really scared, too.

Re: Video

[lefthandedgenius]

[The query actually distracts her for a minute.]

Yeah. I'm a banshee. I sense death. Mostly before it's happening or as it's happening and I'm naturally drawn to it. [Aside from also being a city-wide emergency alert for the supernatural via her scream.]

It's like having a superpower but full of suck.

Re: Video

[just_displaced]

That sounds like the most terrible superpower ever. I mean, there're superpowers out there that give you improved strength or can make you fly or can turn you invisible and you get the one that just lets you know something awful and tragic is happening? You don't even get the superpower of, I don't know, stopping death?

[He's aware that he's probably being really rude right now, but that doesn't seem to stop him.]

I mean, not to denigrate your superpower. It's just that in a situation like this one, where everyone's freaked out, you're probably eight times as freaked out as your average person. At least. Right?

[valentineluke]

Please hold off on sounding the 'air raid siren'. I don't wish to be distracted from the fun task at hand.

[lefthandedgenius]

It has yet to occur on purpose, actually.

[valentineluke]

True death is a rarity here. Probably why every body dropped currently doesn't have wailing accompaniment.

[mightbeconcussed]

Lydia...I could... I could probably come over there. Be sneaky and everything if it'd make you feel better. I have a cricket bat and a laser screwdriver. [ it's more deadly than it sounds. ]

[affectioning]

If you need help, I could get you there.

[mightbeconcussed]

If Lydia wants the company, I could definitely use the escort.

Thank you, Scott.

hasty text; thanks for letting me know, sorry about delay...

[67chevyimpala]

lydia.

stay indoors.

block windows with furniture.

are you alone.

[lefthandedgenius]

I've blocked the door. I think my roommate got attacked by those things tho.

There's no one here with me.

I don't want to ask anyone to come and endanger themselves

[affectioning]

You're right. You shouldn't leave the apartment.

I'm fine. [ He's more worried about the fact that his mother doesn't seem to be anywhere, or answering him, but.. he's also trying to help. ] Is Stiles with you, now?

[lefthandedgenius]

No. But Derek is out looking for him.

[fastest_dude_ever]

Where are you, miss? Do you hear them outside your door?

Re: Video

[lefthandedgenius]

I'm in my apartment. I can feel them.

text;

[saturniapavonia]

stay inside

[lefthandedgenius]

I know.

keyword irony .__.

[sociomonere]

[Tallendi looks pretty much okay, crouched somewhere dark, looking pretty much unbothered. From somewhere nearby, a crow gives a little squawk,]

Somebody coming to you?

[He sounds pretty okay too, situations like this make him shut down his emotions. It's just easier that way.]

[lefthandedgenius]

I think my roommate is on his way.
