01 ♛ video
[ the video feed starts, and lydia's not paying attention; in fact, she'd been using the darkened screen of her device in order to check the status of her lip gloss and mascara. the latter is slightly smudged underneath one eye, as if she's recently been crying, but it's the only sign of any distress as she quickly plasters a different expression on, mouth pouting slightly. ]
I would like to state, for the record, that this is ridiculous. Absolutely, completely - ridiculous.
I mean, they say that the first part of debunking a hallucination is to acknowledge its total lack of infallibility.
Or something.
Besides, the whole 'waking up in Wonderland' cliché? So tired.
[ she pauses, eyes narrowing, and stares a little more intently at the camera, as if silently daring someone to challenge her.
and then she sighs, quietly, the camera panning to the rows and rows of books behind her - several of the titles in different languages - before the feed cuts out. ]

But that doesn't matter, 'cause this isn't a hallucination! I'm pretty sure it isn't, anyway.
video;
That's exactly what you'd expect a hallucination to say, you know.
video;
Anyway, I'm not a hallucination and you really are in Wonderland.

I am not so sure zis is a hallucination, miss. I am unsure it eez possible to haff so many share zee same one.
video;
Well, I haven't ruled out the possibility that we've all been drugged.
[ immunity notwithstanding, maybe this is all due to some garden-variety intoxication. though she definitely would've remembered a russian kid at beacon hills. ]

Hey, are you okay? Um. I'm Annie, and I know it really sucks to wake up here-- [Trust her, she's done it twice.]-- so if you like, need to talk or anything, I'm here!
video;
at least this one's fashion sense isn't offensive. ]
Tell me you know where a girl can freshen up properly? The mirrors here are screwy.
video;
[She was just there for a week. Super unlucky.]
You could ask your closet for like, reflective glass? That might work.
[A pause.]
Do you know about the closets yet?

If only it was just a hallucination. [ life would be so much easier. like, so much. ] Where are you?
video;
[ she grips the device and gives allison's appearance a scrutinizing look. they'll have to discuss those dark circles in person. ]
I'm in some kind of library?
video;
Okay just- I'll be there in a sec. Just don't...go anywhere.
[ or freak out. allison kind of freaked out when she got here, but lydia doesn't seem to be having this problem. ]
Also, and I know this is going to sound crazy but bear with me; what's the last thing you remember?

Have you tried pinching yourself? I hear that's the second way of finding out if you're hallucinating.
video;
Is there a list or something?

[ inhale exhale, accompanied by a sympathetic smile. ]
But mostly that reality sucks.

You think, but you don't know?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I think... I... [ there's a prolonged pause on his end, and slowly, as if trying to reassure himself: ] ...I've been told by multiple people this is real. I've been assured by my psychiatrist this is real. I've been here for weeks. But it doesn't seem real, and I can't make myself believe it is.

[ hello your ~sparkling~ puppy dog scott mccall is on the case.
... But he's a little bit late, and he sees that now, many apologies. Looks like she got the basic rundown ( which is fantastic for him, because he's literally the worst at explaining things ), so Scott just smiles at her for a second, not really knowing what to do. Introductions are hard when the obvious is out of the way, so he just shakes his head, running some fingers through his hair. ]
Uh - looks like you got the welcome. [ Awkward laugh. ] Are you feeling okay?
video;
[ she's greeting you with a classic lydia martin expression - a smile right on the verge of actual sincerity, though it's more to give her the chance to size him up a little. oh, yes. we heard all about where you're from. ]
Perfectly fine. Why wouldn't I be?
video;
[ Does he need a reason? He looks kind of taken aback because he doesn't know what to say for another second, before he just grins at himself and sets his hand on the back of his neck. Totally suave. ]
Isn't it kind of kosher to ask that when you get kidnapped? [ grinning??? ] Anyway, Stiles is going to be happy to see you.
video;
action; THIS IS SO LATE I'M SO SORRY
Oops.
The door bangs open to the library, busting any quiet that might have been going on as Stiles tends to do, and the teenager stumbles through the door and blurts out- ] Lydia!
action;
nice going, stiles. she's more annoyed now than freaked - which, maybe, is kind of a good thing - as she huffs out a sigh. ]
Where's the fire, Stiles?

christ I'm sorry this is so late
Still, though, she at least tries to play nice. Try being the keyword. Sarcastic is probably more accurate of one, though. ] And yet here you are.
