[ 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! ]

I don't really know if I care if they're human or not
they'd be the best kind of people to ask about weaknesses and things
working magic against magic is using a tool against a tool
neither of which I know enough about to be comfortable using
unless you wanna help out?
do you know a lot about magic?
no subject
They have their own reasons for doing things, it's not out of the goodness of their hearts. Trusting one of them to give you good info isn't that different than going in blind.
I hope you're good at fact checking.
[Adam knows it's a huge generalization, that not all non-humans pose as big of a threat as mucking around with powers a person doesn't understand like real, live magic, but some of them are.
He can't imagine a lot of monsters would help out unconditionally with this monster encyclopedia project without throwing in a few lies or loopholes, for that matter. Adam finds that if given the choice, he'd rather cut out the middleman. Find a way to protect himself without taking cues from other creepy crawlies.
That said, he knows exactly nothing about magic.]
Sorry, I never got my letter to Hogwarts. If you need to change a tire or set a sprained ankle, I can do that, but no pulling rabbits out of hats.
no subject
because if you take someone who, where they're from, everyone has abilities or powers or whatever
then they're basically human, or how we see humans
they'd be the best to talk to
plus if they're worried about losing control themselves they wouldn't want to hurt people
you read harry potter
do you seriously want to tell me you think remus lupin wouldn't try to help us out with werewolves?
[ you're talking to the wrong hunter about generalizations, adam. there might be some monsters (peter) who would intentionally lie about this kind of thing, but she doesn't think all of them would.
where he'd rather take the safe route that they're all bad, she'd rather take the route that says all good. or most, in both cases. ]
I'll keep that in mind when I get my first car
or if I can't change the tire myself :p
[ because she totally can. ]
no subject
[So has he, of course, it'd be a little hard not to when Wonderland blows your understanding of the universe out of the water just by existing. But contemplating his existence means little more than how he's going to get through the next day, the next week, the next month, and opening his bruised and bloody soul up to the power of open-mindedness doesn't factor in.]
Being human isn't having special powers, that's how I see it. No offense to Professor Furry, but not wanting to hurt people and ripping them to shreds because you can't control yourself are totally different. I'd rather him whip up a way to make your how-to guide work than mess around with the non-human part.
Don't get me wrong, I get why all hands on deck is supposed to be a good thing and that other worlds are cool, but it was survival of the fittest back home. Planning how to survive puts me to sleep faster than hoping some alien with superpowers doesn't throw me under the bus.
[And that's why it just seems better to take information from people who've actually hunted the things. An angel wouldn't just tell how to de-possess a person from another angel--the ones who thrive by walking all over humans would lose their business if they were that honest.
In the end, it's all about whether a person can prove whether the tips and tricks work. If Allison and her friends want to interview Lupin, and Dracula, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon, they can knock themselves out.]
