2nd Bad Idea [Video & Action]

[algidity]

[ The video shows a curly haired teenager looking far far more healthy and... not drugged looking than the last time he'd popped up on the network. Yeah, so this time he's not chock full of wolfsbane, but he's not even going to address that. There's also a little orange tabby on his shoulder, claws sunk into his coat for purchase. Thanks to one Cecil Baldwin the werewolf has a kitten.

He's not the most social, sort of an introvert unless he's familiar with who he's talking to. So he hasn't really gotten to know many of the people in Wonderland. He's not stationary, no, he's been wondering around Wonderland trying to get a feel for the place. Walking and talking, well, at least he's sort of kind of good at multitasking... He hasn't run into anything yet. ]

Do you ever stop and think like, "what if I'm actually in a coma right now and this is all a weird dream?"

[ Some real deep thinking going on obviously. But he's sort of bored, wondering around Wonderland wasn't actually all as interesting as he'd expected. He should have asked Scott or Allison to join him... But oh well. ]

Because I'm really starting to get that feeling from this place.

[easy_a]

You're definitely not the only one.

[Needless to say, it's nice to see the difference in his coutenance now versus the last time they spoke. It affirms that last time, he actually was out of sorts. And she'd be lying to herself if she said she wouldn't have been disappointed to find out he was simply mad instead of drugged up.]

On the other hand, if "weird shit" is an excuse to think I'm in a coma, I would have been in one long before this place. So I really don't think that explanation works for me.

[video]

[algidity]

[ She brings a slight quirk to his lips, he remembers her trying to help him. And now that his brain isn't trying to decode the accent because wow, he's still not used to it, it's a lot easier to understand. ]

Good to know.

[ Then he grins, because yeah, weird shit is kinda normal to him too... Being a werewolf and all. Darachs and Druids and werelizards.... ]

Iunno, that sounds like somethin' a coma induced dream person might try to convince me. [ It's definitely a joke. ] Hmm, I'll have to scrap the idea then.

[idolises]

I thought I was dead when I got here.

[ It's said very flippantly. A coma would have worked too. Thea isn't sure if she still thinks that now, or she doesn't really want to think it. She doesn't want to be dead ]

I haven't dropped our other thread btw <3

[algidity]

[ Oh, he remembers her, though she's kind of hard to forget. He tilts his head to the side, a smile reaching his eyes as he does. ]

Well, you're the best looking zombie I've ever seen then.

[ Aw, yes, totally has a way with the ladies, smooth as sandpaper. But in a more serious note: ] I don't think I'm dead... I hope I'm not dead.

[Video]

[lightgunhustler]

Yeah, that line of thinking definitely sounds familiar.

[Except for her, it was more along the lines of 'What if this is all just some really screwed-up afterlife?' She shrugs, offering Isaac a smile that's both hopeful and sympathetic.]

I kept second-guessing it for awhile, but too much has happened. I have too many friends who've wound up here, too, and too much time has passed. It's had a few months to sink in.

[If it's not real... well, she's not even sure she wants to consider that.]

[Video]

[algidity]

You too? [ He.. Doesn't actually know who you are... Doesn't recognize the face... ] Glad to know it's not just me.

[ He mulls that over, but everything she's said, well, that could just make it a coma dream anyway. He has friends here too... ]

Months? I have friends here too, but I've had dreams with my friends in them before so, uh. From the sounds of it my friends have been here a while too...

[ Which... Doesn't entirely make sense because, he'd just seen them before he was brought here... But, he's watched enough late night syfy to know how this crazy bullshit works sometimes. ]

[exercise]

Want me to pinch you?

[ Because that will obviously help. There's a slightly sympathetic smile plastered on his lips from where he sits on his ( their? ) bed, back pressed up against the headboard. He wants to tell him to come back, that he misses Isaac, that he wants to take a nap and can't without the taller werewolf beside him - but he doesn't because what the fuck is that. ]

video;

[algidity]

Y'know, I think I'll pass on that, actually.

[ He scoffs, because excuse you, Scott, he does not want to be pinched. If Scott asked straight out, he might get a yes, but when does Scott do anything the easy way. And anyway, he's thinking of bugging Allison at some point today, check on her freaking arm. Make sure it doesn't still look like she went up against Xena. ]

Thanks for the offer.

( video )

[cabineyes]

[ didn't anyone tell you it's dangerous to let out whatever pops into your mind, kid? the young man seems a bit slow in the head so hook can't resist replying. his tone is no way vicious however. ]

Yeah? Want me to wake you up, mate?

[ lifts up the hook for him to see. ]

( video ) I'm sorry for Isaac also I have heard amazing things about you!

[algidity]

[ Y'know for surviving hunters, werelizards, and alpha werewolves that try to turn him into weresushi, he's doing pretty good. An eyebrow raises when he sees the hook however.

Is this guy serious? Is Isaac suppose to laugh at him -- is this a joke? Who has a freaking hook? Despite the whole unsure about this guy, he's not rude either. Instead he looks amused. ]

No thanks. I think I'll pass. Dude, you must have a lot of scares with that thing.

[video]

[builditstrong]

Wonder that from time t' time, sure. My dreams ain't this detailed, though.

[video]

[algidity]

[ Isaac tilts his head and lets out a soft "hmm." his dreams are, but then again his dreams are usually a lot darker than this. ]

Yeah, this doesn't really seem like a dream I'd have... Maybe coma dreams are like pizza dreams.

[video]

[claimyourself]

[Oh, he has an orange tabby like her boyfriend does. That's what piques her interest more than his question does, but she'll be polite.]

It's possible. Though I think my unconscious mind would probably conjure up people I know from home if that were the case.

[video]

[algidity]

[ Really, the kitten is newly acquired. Parker has already brought out the protective streak in him though. ]

There's no one here from your home?

[driven]

[ oh hi isaac guess who is also out for a walk but that's mostly because lydia definitely ditched her somewhere around the vendors. allison's not even sure anymore. ]

Then you have really weird coma-dreams.

[algidity]

[ Would a certain warrior princess like some company? Isaac can't help but smile when he sees her, it's becoming somewhat of a natural response. ]

Just what I expect a coma dream Allison would say.

[ An arched brow is raised as he notices she's out and about too. ]

[video]

[unregenerate]

[ Guess who is rockin' the brown hair again?

Its this hot witch. She had some free time (read: a lot of free time) and its about damn time, too. Looks like bright eyes has recovered from his interesting arrival to Wonderland, but let's face it, she still has to mess with him. ]

Look at that, you've solved the mystery. I'm sure there's a big prize hidden behind a door somewhere in this place. You should start up a hunt for it.

[ She's sarcastic, but there's less bite to it than normal. She's been a little distracted, keeping to herself mostly and mulling over...things. And stuff. It has her not quite up to par. ]

[video]

[algidity]

[ Aww checkin' up on him Glinda? He recognizes her, and yeah, he's always found brunettes hotter, and she pulls it off well.

He doesn't seem to mind her messing with him however, even if she denies it, she was kinda helpful when he first arrived. She helped keep the fear at bay, which says something, if he knew what she actually was. ]

I'll be sure to get right on that. Coma dreams with witches that change their hair. Huh?

[ He can dig it. ]

Looks good, Glinda.

[ Compliments, girls want compliments, right? Even if they are slightly sarcastic, he knows her name isn't really Glinda now, but he means the compliment. ]

[hypercompetent]

Dude, if you're in a coma right now, I've been here so long I must be braindead. [ Hello Isaac. It's not like Stiles hasn't seen you like everywhere this past week, considering he's been sleeping in the game room instead of in his room because of it. And it's not like he really minds--he loves Scott, and isn't about to screw with his burgeoning romance.

...s. Romances.

His video opens from his room, though, like he's finally able to reclaim the top bunk. ]

video;

[algidity]

[ He almost says that Stiles has always been braindead, but he doesn't. He likes Stiles kind of, and anyway Scott and Allison like Stiles. The sleeping in the game room isn't needed, seeing as he hasn't done anything with Scott other than cuddle. Isaac might sleep on his own bed if Stiles mentions something.

Really dude, he likes you. Kind of. ]

Sounds about right. Maybe we were all in a tragic bus accident.

[video] stuff n thaaaaaaaangs. also WALL OF TEXT GOOD LORD SORRY MAN

[unsleeved]

[Relish the boring, kid, because after enough of the crazy around here you're gonna be begging for a damn break...

A break which Daryl's spending- surprise- in the woods. There's a sizeable pile of wood shavings next to him, a few birds missing more than a few feathers, and small mountain of rejedcted half-finished crossbow bolts next to him, though they're off screen for the moment. The hands that hold Daryl's device up when he kicks it on to respond to the question are covered in small nicks and cuts; he's been a little distracted, though while he doesn't make it a habit of answering to much on the network, his chosen activity isn't quite distracting enough.

He may look a little more tired than usual when his face appears on the screen, and he narrows his eyes briefly at that kitten before offering his two cents:]

Mighta crossed my mind once or twice.

[Because seriously, there are a million and one ways he could have been whacked on his head at home hard enough to knock him out... Hell, he was in the middle (or tail end, really) of getting his ass beat right before he got dumped here and everything. At the time yeah, it might have seemed like the most reasonable explanation.

...It's only because he knows there ain't no way he'd done enough drugs to come up with something this crazy that he'd dismissed the idea entirely.]

[video] SCREAMS NO I LOVE IT. STUFF N THINGS LORI

[algidity]

[ This particular response earns two raised eyebrows and a slow blink. Wow, this guy looks like the sort of mean dude that would drag someone into the woods chop them up and eat them for dinner... Not that Isaac has actually met anyone that does that... As far as he knows... God, he sure hopes not.

When the man's eyes narrow, Isaac finds himself mimicking the look, somewhat unknowingly. One eyebrow lowers while the other stays raised. Yeah, he definitely feels a bit uncomfortable... But regardless, he doesn't pass too much judgement... Everyone used to think he was a weirdo... Especially when he went to school with bruises and broken bones... He'd been called a weirdo and a freak so many times. ]

You too huh?

[ The fact that he's out in the woods makes Isaac curious. Was he a normal hunter? Like not the kind that try to freaking kill werewolves? Isaac's never been for hunting... Or generally hurting anything or anyone in general. After years of abuse from his dad, well, it's kind of off putting to hurt things that cannot defend themselves. ]

Why're you in the woods?

I was going to tag with my other character but this judgment could only come from one person. <3

[itsahotone]

The better question would be to ask if anyone here hasn't thought that.

[You're not thinking anything new here, is what she's saying. God, Isaac, way to be unimpressive.]

AHAHAHA Santana I love their CR Also I'm not dropping our other threads! <3

[algidity]

[ Oh Santana. How are you today?

Isaac grins, not seemingly bothered by her attack, instead amused. ]

I dunno, a couple people thought they were dead, so y'know.

video;

[distract]

Pipe dream, maybe.

[ because yes, the fact that they're all on some kind of hallucinogen and having a group field trip (emphasis on the trip) has not escaped her realm of possibility. she waits a beat, and then: ]

Why do you ask?

video;

[algidity]

This place isn't too bad...

[ It's weird to have Lydia actually noticing he exists, though maybe that's what happens when Scott McCall is your best friend. ]

Just wondering, to be honest. This place gets weirder and weirder the more I see of it.

[ She was nice to him when he first got here though, so he's not going to be mean to her. No reason. ]

video;

[notthesecondworstfighter]

Yes, thank you. I've been considering that exact possibility since I got here.

[Have a space marine appearing on your screen, glad to finally see someone having the same worries he's been dealing with. It's kind of the first semblance of anything sane he's found so far, which actually? Is a nice change. So nice and such a weight off his shoulders in the moment that he relaxes visibly, ultimately just relieved to have found someone who's maybe about as new as he is.]

Everyone I've run into so far is so used to it and accepting of everything, they just go around like being trapped in Wonderland is business as usual. It's really disconcerting.

video;

[algidity]

[ ... Is a robot talking to him?

Isaac's face falls, mouth hanging open with his confusion... But no, the robot is talking and seeming and friendly. And so what if he's a robot, Isaac's a werewolf...

Isaac isn't used to wonderland, that's definitely true. But he's not angry about being here, he's not going to try to leave as long as his friends are here... ]

You, uh, you feel the same way, huh?

[ Nailed not looking like a total gawking crazy weirdo. Totally. ]

What, what's usual business for you?

video

[cheerleader]

I think that all the time. It makes sense that it's all a weird dream.

Only...

[She frowns, resting her chin in the palm of her hand.]

Things here feel too real to just be a dream.

video

[algidity]

Too real? Iunno, I've had some pretty realistic dreams, haven't you?

[ He looks intrigued by her answer. ]

video;

[torchwoodteaboy]

[Meet your friendly neighborhood Welshman, Isaac. Looking prim and proper in one of his freshly pressed suits out of that magical closet of his.]

Honestly, I'm not sure what to make of this place. But I don't think it's a coma dream. [He's pretty sure he's dead, after all. There are people from his future that have even confirmed that theory, much as he would have liked them to confirm otherwise.]

video;

[algidity]

[ Another accent, wow, he sure is hearing a lot of accents here. Isaac tilts his head only slightly before grinning. Accent and someone who actually knows how to dress. ]

Isn't that exactly what a coma dream person might say, don't you think?

[emoteaspoon]

I sort of was in a coma when I got here...

[Isn't that helpful?]

[algidity]

...You were?

[ Squint.... ]

But you woke up...
