[detectus]

[The feed flicks on to reveal a young girl in her mid teens with her lips pursued in an expression that can only be described as annoyance.]

So first things first. Shopping. I’m not going to jump ahead of myself and ask for the nearest Michael Kors but if I’m going to fight in a war I need more than one jacket and skirt. But I really don’t do the whole Eastern Kimono thing. Not figure flattering at all.. Another thing I don't do? Work in retail. There has to be jobs in turtle land that aren't retail. Anyone need a math tutor? I do graduate level calculus.

[She sighs and purses her lips even further, despite that seeming humanly impossible.]

Now has anyone been able to get a clear answer on whether you’re “living, dead, or dreaming”? Because I was in the middle of learning some rather important things about myself and being dead would sort of put a damper on my personal journey of learning I’m a banshee or something like that. It takes a bit of time to adjust, this really can’t be good for my mental health. What an irresponsible emperor if you ask me. Which, she didn't, of course.

[She wraps a tube of lipstick against the base of the console for a few seconds as if considering if she wants to ask the next question.]

Finally, excuse the non sequitur, but does anyone here happen to know any teenage boys by the names of Scott, Stiles, or Isaac? They're all sort of tall and on the verge of flop-haired. I tend to follow on the heels of their trouble and if they're the reason I'm here, I need to have a word. Tell them Lydia is looking for them.

[With that she cuts the feed.]

OKAY DONE >_>

[skybluejeep]

Lydia.

Hey.

Um.

You're. Um. Here. And a banshee which is a thing what?

Oh my god.

[OMG FASHION

Nita loves clothes.]

There are all kinds of tailors in Earth Sector, and they're used to taking requests from Foreigners. Some of us can sew, too, but I don't think we've got any designers around right now.

[Besides her enthusiasm for fashion, it should be noted that Nita has weird eyebrows that are impossibly high-arched for a human, and Mr. Spock ears.]

[detectus]

Hm.

Well. Might have to try my hand at designing. No kimonos for me.

[She notices, but she's not going to comment, not just yet.]

[watcheslanterns]

[Rapunzel peers shyly at the camera.]

Um, I do. I mean, about Stiles and Isaac? I know the two of them. I've heard about Scott, too, but I haven't met him yet.

[detectus]

You know Stiles but not Scott?

Did the two of them finally cut the umbilical cord? This really is the land of dreams.

[Video]

[alpha_squad_leader]

There's a school opening you could probably ask about getting a tutoring job at.

[Vic's just offering a smile, all green and spiky.]

You're not dead, you're in another dimension. And it's not their fault. I know Stiles and Isaac and I've heard a Scott is here even if I haven't met him yet.

[detectus]

I've never actually tutored before but it beats asking if someone wants fries with that.

[She sighs softly.]

Popular crowd it seems. So any proof on the alternate dimension theory?

[traitorously]

[Catty nods seriously] It's hard to fight good if you don't feel good. I know some places! But, uh, if you'd rather not hang out with random strangers you just met on the back of a giant turtle, the Earth Sector is where most of the clothes stores are.

Oh, I'm Catty, by the way. I know Isaac! And know of those other two, but I don't think we've actually spoken before.

[detectus]

In the midst of a war and the lack of my own best friend, I might have to find all the fashionable strangers I can find.

[She exhales.]

So Catty. What's Isaac been up to now that he can't breath down the neck of my best friend?

[dunhaming]

[ Olivia isn't one to give out information to people she doesn't know, but something about this girl strikes her as being friends with Isaac. ]

Isaac works for me at the bakery. Any trouble I should be looking out for with him around?

NOT HERE

[bereavements]

[ You're taking her word for it? ]

[fatedchaos]

If you remember dying, then you're probably dead. Otherwise, don't worry about that part. We're all mostly alive.

[A small pause before she smiles.] Don't expect to find any jeans around here, though.

[detectus]

I don't do jeans anyway.

[She sighs. She nearly did die.]

So what about dreaming then?

[knewtoomuch]

[Balthazar finds this all to be a little much in an introduction to another world, but he listens anyways. There is one thing he will focus on right off the bat.]

Banshee, eh? I haven't seen one of those for a while now. Blast from the past. I don't imagine that knowing more about what you are would have much of an impact on ending up here.

I am in agreement though that it is terribly rude to be dragged off without a say in the matter.

[detectus]

It would do something for my psyche. You can't just hear a bomb like that and get no time to process. It's completely unhealthy.

[She huffs and crosses her arms.]

You know banshees then?

[cravats]

There is at least one shop in the Earth sector that caters to more Western tastes.

[He takes it pretty far, clearly, being dressed in a Victorian suit. His bowler hat is visible at the bottom of the screen too.]

I'm acquainted with all three of them, as well as Miss Reyes. Goodness, there are a lot of you.

[detectus]

Believe me, I wasn't banking on being part of a gang in high school. Next thing I know we'll a name and a secret handshake.

[zerotoawesome]

I knew a banshee once, and he wasn't anywhere near as beautiful as you.

[skybluejeep]

Dude.

[transferee]

[Stiles mentioned Lydia being here which meant Allison searched the other recent posts on the network until she found this one.]

Lydia?

[detectus]

We're getting good at this whole "friends sticking together" thing, aren't we?

Maybe too good.

[candystriped]

[ pinged by shopping ]

Ugh, don't buy premade around here. There's some decent tailors in the Fire Sector but they're all lazy rude bastards!

[ Hint: they're not actually, they just don't like Stocking. ]

But they'll do in place of anyone really respectable around here.

[detectus]

Sometimes rude bastards make the best products, the devil wears Prada and all that.

[bereavements]

[ Where does he start? ]

Hey.

[ He's never been the closest to Lydia Martin. Hardly ever really interacted save for those times he may have wanted to kill her (on orders from Derek). ]

I know them. [ Snark coming your way. ] And graduate level Calculus is pretty useless here. [ Showoff. ] There are better tailors.

[detectus]

Graduate level calculus is useful everywhere. Unless you want to have no electricity, no curved domes in your buildings, and no concept of physics.

[She raises her eyebrows at Isaac. It's weird to see him without Allison lately.]

In the Earth Sector?

[unfettered]

[Erica really doesn't plan on bothering Lydia except for the fact that she's familiar and just said she's a banshee and just. What.

So, have a very-much-alive Erica. She happens to be dressed in some clothes she's picked up from one of the foreigner run businesses. Style courtesy of Favrielle nó Eglantine and Cinna.]

Since when did you become a banshee?

[And as for job stuff, well, she works at Stark Industries but she's not in a hurry to point Lydia in that direction because it's Lydia Martin and Erica is still far too resentful of 99% of the students from Beacon Hills High.]

[detectus]

Since when do we talk to each other? Are we going to shake up the social order now that you've learned to wear mascara and gone down the lycanthropy route.

[It's a front. Just a question to so she can internally back her mind up and marvel over the fact that somehow Erica is actually here. And speaking. And seemingly alive.]

[mccallmemaybe]

[ Both Lydia and Stiles had said it: she was something. Normal people didn't locate dead bodies without remembering how they got there...

Scott doesn't know what Lydia is but apparently she knows. A banshee? ] What's a banshee? How do you know that?

...Hi, by the way. Are you okay? [ The obligatory number one most asked question by Scott McCall. ]

[detectus]

You were practically right there, Scott. And fine. Was just nearly murdered. But fine. Says a lot about the state of my life.

[She purses her lips and goes a bit quieter.]

What's the last thing you remember?
