Preferences: Someone who's not going to try and kill me...?

[mixcds]

[Well he sure can relate to that. ]

I get the feeling a lot of people have the same preference, here.

[ about

that

thomas just kind of stares at kieren like he might have killed his dog. he's sorry, dude.]

[greenies]

[ wait okay you have to use your words, thomas. ignore the fact that he's clearly the undead and looks just like newt you're fine IT'S FINE. ]

I mean...yeah. It happened a couple of times. Did it...[ you can do it captain ptsd ] --happen to you too?

[mixcds]

[Kieren slumps into his chair. It's okay he's used 2 that look. ]

My best friends dad hated me before I died. Then he tried to kill me when I came back. My sisters boyfriend turned me rabid and set me loose hoping someone would kill me. I think I got shot loads of times before I got my treatment. Probably.

[He pauses, looks sort of mortified and then: ]

Sorry! That was a bit heavy.

[greenies]

[ he gets kind of a startled blink as thomas tries to take all of that in and compartmentalize it neatly, and he shakes his head. ]

It's okay. [ a beat. ] I had to kill my best friend because he went past the Gone and was never going to come back, and he asked me to.

[ way to kill the mood thomas ]

[mixcds]

I'm sorry, for your friend.

[He wishes, not for the first time, he could give Thomas a cure. Kieren looks down. ]

I lost my best friend too, in the end. I don't suppose you've got photographs or anything like that?

[greenies]

No--we didn't really have access to any technology or anything like that. [ it hurts to talk about newt, to think of him as dead and not a living breathing force, the third person of his and minho's trio.

he looks sympathetic, though. ] I'm sorry about your friend, too. ...And his dad.

[mixcds]

His dad isn't even worth mentioning, honestly. He's better forgotten.

[Better if he never existed - god, Kieren will be mad the rest of his unlife. ]

I get the feeling your world is like some sort of post-apocalyptic movie, Thomas.

Hi, not-Stiles.

[greenies]

[ oh god it's one of stiles's friends and she's really pretty. ]

My name's Thomas. [ awkwardly.... ]

[amplified]

I'm Lydia. ( she can tell already that he's definitely NOT even remotely close to stiles in personality. She smiles warmly. ) Personally I find speed dating too rushed. Not nearly enough time to get to know someone. But. Tell me a little about you? Age for starters, I guess.

[greenies]

I'm sixteen--I think. [ a beat. ] I don't really have any way to know my birthday, so we just...sort of guessed.

[ a flush colors his cheeks, how dumb are you thomas edison ] You too--you're one of Stiles's friends. He mentioned something about...Beacon Hills?

[amplified]

Wait - you seriously don't celebrate birthdays where you're from? Why not?

( he's really dumb but it's cute ) I am. Beacon Hills is the town we're from. I'm seventeen.

[greenies]

[ he shrugs his shoulders. ] I had my memories swiped when I showed up--everyone in the place I came from was like that. The only thing we really knew were our names. [ and even then they weren't their real names. bless, wicked, bless. ]

What's it like? [ genuine curiosity there--you've earned yourself an active listener, and he looks over her with attentive brown eyes, interested. what's life like when the world is not ending, he really wants to know. ]

[amplified]

That sounds horrible. What sort of place - but you probably don't know, do you? Since they wiped your memories... ( her brow creases. she pities him, but more than that, she feels a little... angry, on his behalf. that is BULLSHIT. she calls shenanigans. )

( then she laughs a short, raw laugh ) It's... Definitely not the quiet town I thought it was growing up.

hollow laughter at the size of my eway inbox

[greenies]

Oh, no. The organization was called WICKED. [ oh he knows that much very well. ] World in Catastrophe Education Department. They were trying to save the world, I guess. [ the "no, they were terrible" is more obvious in his voice than anything else. ]

I thought so. Stiles said something about werewolves...? [ whatever those are. ] It's still--I'm a little jealous. It'd be nice to have a family, friends. Normal stuff.

[ thomas pauses, and his cheeks flush a little further. ] Sorry, that was probably a little heavy.

pats head gently

[amplified]

That is the single most stupid acronym I've ever heard. And there isn't even a K in the longhand form. ( she purses her lips ENTIRELY UNIMPRESSED ) So, they educate you on saving the world by wiping your minds. Seems... ( she moves her head this way and that, as if she's trying to follow a bee with her eyes, then shrugs. ) Pointless. Why put a bunch of brainwiped kids in the middle of something instead of actually educating them?

( lydia nods. ) Among other things.

( her expression is soft, and sympathetic, and she gives him a small smile laced with sadness. ) You don't need to apologize. I get it. I don't know where I would be without my friends. ( probably eichen house )
