i might have to come by for soup just so we can high five, honestly.

From:

unmakes

door's unlocked

From:

de_void

[it takes longer than one might ordinarily expect for stiles to poke his head through her door (not bothering to knock, obviously, what do you take him for?), and when he finally does he's looking a bit more ragged about the edges for his journey, and he sort of throws himself face down on her bed without even stopping to say hello, grumbling a bit into her knee.]

What's the point in even being in engineering if I can't fix these stupid doors?

From:

unmakes

[ what she failed to mention via text is the severe increase in blankets piled vaguely over her in some way, one of which is getting peeled back and tossed over stiles now too as she scoots to give him room. this is an entirely different sort of 'welcome to my half-empty bed' than the one she had in mind when she sent out that text, but he's welcome nonetheless. ]

You get a bitchin' nametag, [ she offers, her usual humor weakened just a little by how shitty she feels. ] And if anyone asks what you do, you get to be like, 'oh, I'm in engineering,' and they just assume that means you know your shit.

From:

de_void

[stiles wriggles in a little bit more under the newly acquired blanket, turning slightly to the side so he's not trying to slowly suffocate himself, no matter how tempting the thought might be right now.]

I'm not completely useless, you know. [he grouses because wow, sally, are you suggesting he doesn't actually know shit.] I'm starting to get used to these systems, and I totally know how to make a shrapnel bomb.

[a beat.] Uh. Maybe.

Oh yeah. [it's clumsy and awkward, but this whole trip did have a point after all, so he holds up his hand in front of her for a high five.]

If you're going by alien's definition. Foreign also counts as meaning around the same thing. And doesn't bring to mind the— same things alien does.

The ship being sentient doesn't count. That just means it's sentient ship rather than a ship that's carrying us everywhere and can't express some form of feeling or thought process.

If you're explaining things to— someone like Malia, please never use the alien thing again.

From:

de_void

Well I don't know, do I? I've really only really had the chance to talk to her at the... [awkwardly] you know. Explaining the time thing was already hard enough.

But if aliens really was such a 'no-no' then fine, I promise not to do it again, okay?

From:

mathematically

...How hard was it? [ because explaining it again was a little painful. ] She's from ahead of us and I was starting to get used to the idea of not feeling oddly behind.

[ lydia martin: tired of timeline differences since- 2013 tbh. ] It's only a no-no when you send the person to me afterward. I don't mind Strangers A and B thinking that. But telling Malia that the alien part wasn't true is not an experience I want to relive again.

From:

de_void

She is? [slight surprise] How far ahead? Have we been helping her with the coyote thing?

I was only sending her to you about the timeline thing, not the aliens. The not aliens, whatever. Sorry. Why was it hard explaining it to her though.

From:

mathematically

As far as I can tell. The way she was acting wasn't like I think she would be from where you and I are. And I'm assuming we are. Unless we're acting something close to friends and we're not helping her.

[ her dry tone possibly gives away how likely she thinks that is. ] But I still had to hear about the alien explanation. Anyway, because it's Malia, she was coyote for a number of years. She doesn't quite get a joke?

From:

de_void

Oh. Yeah. That does make sense. I'll definitely keep that in mind the next time I talk to her.

From:

mathematically

Good. [ there's a pause that lasts a little longer than it should before lydia clears her throat. ]

Are we making Derek watch over her when she shifts or are we doing it? Since it might be more comfortable for her.

[ she exhales a silent snort-laugh and reciprocates the high-five, mostly so he can put his arm down before it starts sick-shaking. ]

You should totally teach me the whole 'bomb' thing.

From:

de_void

We should probably ask her who she's most comfortable with.

From:

de_void

[and stiles does immediately let his hand flop back down on the bed because wow that was exhausting.]

Honestly I'd probably have to teach myself at the same time. It was only sort of me building it at the time.

From:

unmakes

Y'know, I'm not even gonna ask. [ she's pretty sure she's too tired to keep up right now anyway. ]

From:

mathematically

And have them with her and the rest of us outside the door just in case she gets out of whatever room we put her in?

From:

de_void

[well too bad sally he's gonna tell you anyway.]

Possessions, yeah? You should know all about those, being a ghost before and everything

You're not the only person in this room that weird or traumatizing shit has happened to, I'll have you know.

From:

de_void

What, and make a party of it?

From:

mathematically

I do throw good parties. [ Not the appropriate answer but she can't help it. ] Stiles, it's a good plan. She won't get out and terrorize the ship if we're out there.

From:

de_void

Of course, you throw the best parties. [he would never argue with her on that.]

I just don't know how happy she would be with the crowding. She's never even met Cora. I'm not saying it's not a good idea, I just don't know if we should make a final decision about this until we talk to Malia about it first.
