[Stiles has been noticeably quiet since the events in Bottle Land. No network posts, no snarky comments. No usual spastic self. He's been holed up and licking his mental wounds.

Until now. Because something has happened that's the diarrhea icing on the shit cake of his life recently.]

Lydia Martin is gone.

[That's it. That's all you get today, gang. Sorry. Somebody buy this boy a drink or a puppy or something. He's going to go full Anakin Skywalker here in a bit if something drastic isn't done.]

Lydia's gone?

[skybluejeep]

Yup. Tried calling her, terminal's off line. Went to her suite, empty.

That's that.

[garou]

...you okay?

[ixis]

Another profound loss on your part, I take it.

Re: Video

[skybluejeep]

Yup. The hits just keep on comin'.

[ixis]

A shame. I hope she was not a loss to the bottle incident? I heard there was a death toll, but no details.

[watcheslanterns]

Oh, Stiles. I'm so sorry.

[skybluejeep]

I'm going back and catching up on stuff now.

You lost a couple friends too, didn't you?

[watcheslanterns]

[She nods.]

Yes. Alcuin and Cinna. I worked with them at the clothing shop.

Friend of yours?

[skybluejeep]

Yeah.

[6collegecredits]

Sorry. That really sucks. Like, a lot.

[Because she's been there, done that.]

[Eponine never knew Lydia. But she knows what that tone of voice means.]

Where do you live, Stiles? I will bring you something to drink. You seem to need it.

[skybluejeep]

Aww, Eponine. You're so sweet.

I'm okay, really. I mean, mostly okay.

[jondrette]

Mostly okay is not completely okay.

Tell me about her. Your Lydia.

[iguanasolution]

...Another friend of yours?

[skybluejeep]

Another friend of mine.

At this rate, if you wanna get sent home, just be my friend. Seems to be a pretty sure thing.

[iguanasolution]

Were they all from the same world as you? Maybe your world just... has a stronger pull on people, wants them back?

...Which I bet doesn't exactly help. Sorry. I... lost four of my best friends recently, it was pretty rough.

I'm so sorry, Stiles.

[skybluejeep]

Thanks, Bianca. I appreciate it.

[asoothingvoice]

If you need anything, let me know. I mean it, alright?

[If worse comes to worse, she'll send Jaime to check on him.]

[problematical]

They're all going and going, like lights going out.

video;

[skybluejeep]

Um. Yeah, kinda.

[Oh dear, is this gonna be a weird thing? Please don't be a weird thing, lady.]

[justlittle]

How does this disappearance fit into your theory?

[Crass? Maybe. But Bean doesn't know who Lydia Martin was or what her significance might have been. She obviously meant something to Stiles, because he doesn't seem like the usual, wordy self most of his Network posts portray.]

Lydia is a certified genius with an IQ of 170. She reads quantum physics books for fun, like I mentioned elsewhere. Her greatest ambition is to win a Fields Medal.

If anybody could have figured out the math of the multiverse, it would have been her.
