[Stiles appears on the feed, after giving his console a good solid thumping. He's peering into it like he can see right through the screen, trying to fix the unfixable. There's one momentary ghosting, a doubling of his image, but then it stabilizes.]

Hah! Percussive maintenance saves the day again.

Okay, got some stuff to talk about, and I can't give three ripping farts as to who or what is listening, so suck it. I'm gonna start making, like, World War Two style propaganda posters and sticking them up all over the place. Victory Gardens and War Bonds, guys. Let's make it happen. Bonus points if we can all dress like Gene Kelly and Ginger Rogers for the duration.

One! Late Memorial Day barbecue. Bring your own grilling goods, communal shared style. Pot luck style. Low on food so let's all share style. Thanks to Darcy for coming up with the idea, seriously, that girl is super awesome smart. And appropriate theme, because Jesus Harry Christ on a bouncing kangaroo, memorials all over.

Two! Had a really interesting dream last night involving a little boy, named Rio'era. Aaaaaand I've been led to understand this is a thing? Anybody else having weird dreams about little kids popping up and giggling a bit at you? Because wow it's borderline creepy. More than borderline, if I'm one hundred percent honest.

Three! Who put the ram in the ramalama ding dong?

Important question for the ages.

Who was that man? I'd like to shake his hand! He made my baby fall in love with me.

[A beat.] What? It seemed like no one was answering the hard-hitting questions.

[skybluejeep]

I'm glad somebody around here has their priorities straight!

[iguanasolution]

No, but really, Rio is one of the turtles. He was King Arthur's turtle before he left, maybe they are seeking out caretakers once more?

[skybluejeep]

Wait. King Arthur? Like full on, lady of the lake, banging two coconuts together, let's not go to Camelot, 'tis a silly place King Arthur?

And I never met him? Crap!

[iguanasolution]

[He has to laugh at that.] No, not that king Arthur- but meeting him would be awesome too actually.

King of the seas Arthur. Arthur was kind of his human name? [He'd say 'Aquaman' but Arthur had never quite seemed fond of the nom de plume.]

[skybluejeep]

Oh.

Huh. Well, either way. I'm okay with inheriting a turtle from King Arthur.

[iguanasolution]

Need any pointers? Or advice or anything like that? I've been taking care of a turtle for a few months now.

[skybluejeep]

Uh. Maybe? I mean, it's a giant turtle, how hard could it be?

[Famous last words, Stilinski.]

[iguanasolution]

Look down. Realize you're potentially looking at how big the turtle will grow. How hard can that be, right?

[skybluejeep]

Yeah, but I don't have to worry about feeding that one.

Although...that does bring up an excellent point. How many baby turtles are there? And will the oceans be big enough to accommodate them all when they're all fully grown?

[iguanasolution]

I... honestly have no idea, but if there were lots of them before I'm guessing they have the space?

Or else we're in trouble.
