[ It's Isaac's fault.

Of course right now Stiles doesn't know that. He doesn't know that his resident werewolf bro totally threatened him into the worst costume he could possibly have chosen. He doesn't know that this isn't natural. That on his way back to change the curse must have hit. What he does know is that the woods are a little darker and he's using his device as a torch to work his way around them. Of course how he knows to use his device as a torch is beyond him, because he's not really thinking much beyond getting to his grandmother's house.

Because he has a grandmother, doesn't he? ]

(( ooc: posting now because it's dark here. Feel free to bump into him - either before he gets to the woods or while he's in them! ))

[ The Queen of the Realm of the Dead is very surprised to find herself outside of said Realm, but the woods seem an acceptable replacement for now. Let's just ignore the fact that she doesn't quite look as old as she ought to. ]

Are you lost, little one?

[ Somehow you get the feeling that if one were to illustrate her speech, it would be white text on black. That's just spooky. ]

[studmuffin]

[ He looks over eyes widening in shock before they narrow, like the fairy tale is warring with the Stilesiness of Stiles. ]

I'm taking a short cut. [ Hefting up his basket and trying to stop his skirt from getting caught on it. ]

[helsmaiden]

Your shortcut has led you through my [ makeshift replacement for a ] realm.

[studmuffin]

I don't think the forest belongs to anyone. I mean, Derek might try to piss on things to mark them but that doesn't make it his. [ Also his grandmother lives here. He thinks. ]

[helsmaiden]

Who is this Derek to defile the forest?

[studmuffin]

The wolf. [ Whether or not he means in costume or not is just going to have to be guessed. ]

I'm kind of hoping he's not around here. He always tries to eat people when they're walking through.

[helsmaiden]

There are many wolves in a forest. What makes this one so special?

[studmuffin]

His ass.

[ Pausing. ] Nope, pretty sure it's just his ass.

[helsmaiden]

[ O RLY ]

[studmuffin]

I'm saying this as a completely heterosexual guy, okay? [ Nope. ]

His ass is amazing. That should be why they tell you not to go into the woods. But he has these teeth too and usually that means being eaten and not in a fun, sexy way.

[helsmaiden]

Does he often forgo shirts? [ Because there is still enough of Leah in there to remember how she likes the sound of shirtless bad boys. Hey, they can bond someday over it. ]

[studmuffin]

Yes! [ He waves an arm, almost hitting the tree with his basket. ]

Like he's allergic to fabric or something.

[helsmaiden]

Hmm. I may have to meet this Derek.

Will you take me to him?

before the woods, plz?

[Lena's out walking, both to clear her mind and maybe find a party to attend. Halloween's different for Casters. It's a night of power, and last year on the day, Lena was attacked magically by her mother. She's sure something is set to happen here too.

But for the moment, she's attempting to be a normal teen who goes to parties, albeit not in a costume, but in a silver dress.]

Stiles? [She sounds entirely too amused.] Nice costume.

[studmuffin]

But I have to go to grandmother's house.

do you want him to be cursed or just before it gets dark?

[studmuffin]

[ Flailing and knocking his basket to the floor. ] Holy crap.

[helsmaiden]

Your grandmother lives in the woods?

[studmuffin]

Y -. [ Wait. ]

I'm pretty sure she does. I mean I live in the woods. So does Derek. And Isaac. But they don't live with my grandmother.

let's go with non-cursed? also is her using her powers like this ok? i can edit if not.

[claimyourself]

[She laughs and makes his basket lift off the ground and hover in the air by his side.]

Sorry. I didn't mean to sneak up on you. Having that hood up must be dulling your sense of hearing, huh?

dfghjkl no that's fine. epic actually.

[studmuffin]

I think the skirt's what's doing that. [ Pulling a face before he notices the basket. ] Oh wow, you're actually using magic.

[helsmaiden]

Perhaps I shall escort you to your grandmother's house. [ And maybe catch a glimpse of Derek on the way. ]

[studmuffin]

Sure, cool.

You want a cookie? [ Because for some reason his basket has them. ]

[helsmaiden]

An acceptable tribute.

[studmuffin]

Tribute, hm?

[helsmaiden]

Yes, that which a mortal pays to a god.
