[ when the feed comes up, it catches what sounds like a laugh already in progress, and the bottom half of a face. as it comes into view, someone seems to be righting the camera, before allison eventually turns her attention away from whatever she'd be grinning to off-screen and looks towards the camera. she opens her mouth to talk, but before she can get the words out another voice comes from off the screen. ]

Dude, have you ever seen Monty Python? Killer bunnies with big nasty fangs [ what you can’t see is stiles attempting to make bunny fangs with his teeth, but you can definitely hear his “arrghhrarrgh” in what is clearly a killer bunny noise. ]

[ allison's eyes follow the voice, laughing again. ] You're kidding me, right? You want to put the Easter bunny in this? [ another shake of her head and then she more pointedly looks back to the screen. ] Sorry, someone is-

--Very prepared and always right. [ he at least sounds a little cheeky. it’s a joke. really. sort of. ] And it’s not the Easter bunny!

Yeah okay. Anyway, for those of you we don't know, I'm Allison. Stiles here- [ eyes motioning off the screen and then they're back. ] and I are trying to put together a book. A beastiary, if you know what those are, of as many creatures - supernatural or not - that could potentially show up here.

And that totally includes the people of Wonderland who go bump in the night, I’m just sayin. What’s kosher for my creature of the night may not be kosher for yours.

[ she continues like she didn't hear him. ] If you don't already know, Wonderland likes to throw events at us from the worlds of people here. Sometimes they're fine, sometimes they're not, and-

-And sometimes they end in blood and gore! We haven’t had one of those in a while, I wonder--

Stiles, you can talk later! Let me finish! [ she laughing, though, so it's pretty obvious that stiles' interruptions aren't really bothering her. ] Sometimes they can be really dangerous, and in order to help everyone protect themselves, we figured collecting the information would help. Just to get it out there for people to know if they want to know, and if they don't, that's fine too.

Help a brother out, basically. [ a beat, and stiles pokes into the screen from an awkward angle, all button nose and spotted cheeks before he grins and jerks his head in allison’s direction. ] Or a sister. [ and then disappears from the feed again. ]

[ allison takes her hand back - having shoved stiles out of the frame in the first place - and resets the camera. ] We’ve done this before, so we have a good list started from a few worlds, but if there’s one thing we’ve learned is that even if the lore is in different worlds, a lot of the time the details aren’t the same. For example, take-

--Aaaany form of the supernatural! At all. Anywhere. Oookay, that’s the end of that, no more of that feed. [ #smooth ] Bye!

What? No, Stiles- [ the device is then forcefully plucked from allison’s hands, muffled sounds of a struggle, and then it shuts off. ]


[ ooc both stiles and allison are open for replies! ]

Comments

gimmie people *__*

[itsahotone]

Two things.

First, way to totally jinx us with the blood and gore, and second...that ending was a little rushed. Two stars.

video »

[driven]

Just want to point out that was Stiles on both occasions so...

video!

[hypercompetent]

[ stiles definitely goes "hey!!" out loud in allison's direction before he answers this. rude, allie, rude! ]

Next time I'll summon a freakin' Broadway revue to finish it off, my bad. [ sarcastically. ]

video | so very private

[notrequiredtomakesense]

[Tybalt is studying the camera for a moment before he speaks]

Do either of you know of Blind Michael?

[He doubts it, they're not from his world so Firstborn Fae are probably not a problem for them.]

video | so very private indeed

[driven]

[ allison's eyes narrow curiously. ]

No, I've never head of it. Why?

video and open to both btw

[iguanasolution]

So you're... asking about the beasts and such in our worlds in case they appear here?

video

[hypercompetent]

Exactly. [ you get stiles, i'm so sorry. ] You never know with Wonderland. You got anything that goes bump in the night where you're from?

video.

[driven]

[ you also get allison, so at least that helps? ]

Beasts, people, [ she's adding air quotes with her fingers here. ] "powers at be". If they're dangerous and they could show up here, we'd like to know about them.

[Video]

[luckynumberthree]

If Wonderland suddenly spawns an adorable yet very vicious bunny rabbit, I am holding the pair of you responsible.

[ The feed opens with Simon shaking his finger at them in what would be a very firm scolding if it weren't so obvious he was trying not to laugh. ]

Zombies. You should add zombies to your list.

Unless psychopathic megalomaniacs with a penchant for rocket launchers counts.

[Video]

[driven]

[ that makes allison laugh, out loud and probably a little too carefree, all things considering. ]

Blame Stiles. He's the one who jinxed it!

[ yeah, stiles, she's throwing you under the bus for literally everything. whoops? ]

Psychopathic meglo-what? [ she finally gets out, when the laughing dies. ] Zombies we've- [ the color drains from her face again, but she swallows and shoulders through. ] Zombies we've had. Or at least, zombies from one guy's world. You might want to check out what we've got? And we can add how yours are different.

video (either or both of them is fine!);

[radiopalkiller]

[ Too often Philip only skims through Wonderland's announcements, and if Duty (TM) to the weird magic dimension at large is a thing, then he probably barely scrapes together a passing grade. But Monty Python catches his attention, and bestiary holds it there, before he can close the feed. ]

Are you collecting general information as well, or were you gonna focus just on the confirmed sights from people's worlds?

video;

[driven]

Both.

[ okay, so you know who might be a little too eager over here? this girl. but she gives him something of a sheepish smile anyway. ]

Right now we're trying to get as much information as we can. We were going to sift through it, try and figure out what the key things are. More so if it can show up and hurt anyone, we wanna know how and how to stop it, but all the other info around the lore couldn't hurt.

action to stiles.

[driven]

[ because dai needs fun times okay sue me. ]

Stiles, give that back! [ guess who is now getting up from her chair at their desk, covered in papers and books and everything else, to chase after the thief in question. ]

1/2 ♥

[hypercompetent]

[ sisi is not complaining.

anyway.

stiles hoots victoriously the minute he manages to wrestle the feed away and off because that was like, defcon 5 levels of Werewolf Danger there, but he's not expecting allison to actually chase back after him so he makes a face like this icon-- ]

[hypercompetent]

Oh my godohmygodohmygod! [ and with an extremely manly squawk, stiles stumbles back up to his face and holds it way up out of her way in the only way he can actually maybe keep things away from allison, because allison is ridiculously badass and stiles just kind of noodle arms his way through life. ] Unnecessary roughness! Unnecessary roughness!

[ except he's grinning and laughing so clearly this is not that bad. ]

[Video]

[voiceinthedark]

I love that movie.

I think Simon already mentioned Zombies, but yeah, ravenous hordes of the undead, including some that are mind-controlled. Those ones suck. They can run and climb stairs and jump and stuff.

And psycho-scientists who have managed to make themselves essentially immortal.

Not that I have a grudge or anything.

[Video]

[hypercompetent]

Wait. Zombies that can be mind controlled? Is that like, a person piloting it like a freakin' Gundam from some computer like a million miles away? That sounds awesome. [ a beat. ] I mean, horrible, but, also kind of awesome.

[ stiles............ ] Psycho scientists totally count, too. Basically we're looking for the nitty gritty bs on what they are, how they work, and how to kill them, in case they're nasty. Or protect them, if they're not.

[Video]

[vampdetective]

I could probably help you add a few hundred pages off the top of my head.

[Angel grimaces, sympathetic -- this project is quite an undertaking, though both participants seem to have a good attitude about it.]

Even more if I had access to all the books we have back home, but I'll do what I can. Last thing I want is for some demon slug to pop up here and suck the moisture out of everyone until they crumble to dust.

[He pauses for a beat.]

That happens sometimes.

[Video]

[hypercompetent]

Sick. [ said with all of the gusto of a teenage boy, because that does sound awesome. and horrific, but also awesome. ]

Every little thing helps, man. We figured we'd be at this literally forever, so a hundred pages it is. When you count in all the different places that everyone's from, it's gonna take us a lot of monster counting, but hopefully we can at least get a skeleton of something going. Just in case, you know?

[pottershotter]

[James raises his hand, as if he's being called on in class, though he invites himself to speak instead of waiting.]

Apparently a lot of the beasts in my world are fairly well-known, due to a certain book series, but I wouldn't mind helping out. There's enough people here from my world now that I really wouldn't be surprised if something turned up eventually. It'll be a good thing to have though - it might keep everyone safer.

[After all, he learned the hard and painful way that werewolves are not the same across all worlds.]

Video

[driven]

[ oh hey james. allison thinks for a second, trying to remember what she remembered about the harry potter books back in the day, before she finds herself laughing a little. ]

Yeah, probably a good idea. You wouldn't have your...what, text book with you?

video;

[avoirfaim]

[ A bestiary. Consider Hannibal interested in your plan, kids. ]


I would only be able to contribute as to the myths and legends of a very human world unfortunately, but I am very interested in seeing the finished product.

video;

[driven]

[ crap. ]

We're trying to get it to something we can send out. Like the pamphlet, but larger.

video;

[markedbyfate]

[ Alex would be very interested in reading this list. It helps to be prepared. Also, they're more teenagers and he feels like he needs to look out for them, somehow. ]

You guys got angels on your list?

video;

[driven]

Some, yeah. Though if you have angels we might want to compare notes.

[ she's got something of a guardian angel/friend here in wonderland, but she's not going to assume they're all the same. wonderland has taught her much differently. ]

[halfwinchester]

<sub>[It's been a while since he's seen these two in a video together, but now that he knows they're friends, it's almost a familiar comfort seeing them goofing off with each other.

He remembers the bestiary thing, too. So they're back to working on that?]</sub>

What happened to the first one? The bestiary you started before.

_{[Asking just out of curiosity... like, say, something bad happened to derail the first attempt?]}

text;

[driven]

we're adding to it.
just trying to keep it updated, with how people keep coming and going

[ adam, the fact your first thought is something really bad is probably not healthy. you should look at that. ]

voice »

[algidity]

I showed Allison the journal Ellen gave me, but if you guys wanna borrow it again for this you can.

Can you not do this one in latin.

voice »

[driven]

It's not going to be in latin. [ she says with a laugh. ] And yeah, if we can look at it again? Just to make sure I remembered everything correctly. We want it to be in one place if we can help it.

video.

[rues]

[ most of the broadcast goes in one ear and out the other, but the word beastiary (beastiality? oh, no, definitely beastiary) and creature manage to stick in her head long enough for her to get the gist of what they're trying to accomplish here. and she's definitely had a lot of experience with monsters. ]

Might wanna add the entirety of Greek mythology to that list. [ just sayin. the gods aren't really monsters, but it's easier than trying to list out every single monster she's ever encountered and/or killed. ]

video.

[driven]

[ at first, allison almost starts to laughs. assumes it's a joke. but then she thinks about isaac, about how isaac mentioned a friend named percy. demigod, son of posiedon....... ]

You're kidding.

[resent]

[ stiles' interruption is a blessing. the entire notion makes her feel uneasy, the idea of perhaps writing down the different supernatural creatures within wonderland. even though she doubts these guys will tie names to the species, it's what had burned her family alive. she wishes to remain as hidden as possible within the shadows. ]

[ but she also wants to know who else is here. what else — are there just werewolves? are the other creatures she's only read about and never seen actual living things here? ]

[ as it's allison and stiles, she replies with video. ] My fist may not be kosher with your face. [ joke? appreciate? no. even though cora's smiling a little. ]

I hope names aren't being attached to this list.

video » private

[driven]

No, they're not.

[ she seems to be glaring at stiles, who is somewhere off-screen, when she answers. mostly annoyed at the idea that stiles thought she'd be dumb enough to kind of just give that all away. ]

It's all anonymous, and anything about home has Stiles and me down as the people to ask. You shouldn't have any problems.

[samlicker81]

I don't know how much Sam and Dean have shared, but I'd be more than happy to fill you in on the monsters from our world.

[ in very descriptive detail. the supernatural books are already kind of part beastiary. ]

text » private

[driven]

They've shared a little bit, and we have Ellen's journal, but I could totally run it all by you to make sure we didn't miss anything?

[ nevermind that allison definitely is curious about actually reading the supernatural books. ]
