[Stiles is sitting on his bed in front of a laptop with the world's grumpiest-looking Husky lying on the bed next to him, contentedly chewing on a stuffed bunny toy. The edge of a murderboard on the wall he's been putting together to keep track of information about this reality is just visible on the edge of the frame, and the rest of the room visible is, well, teenage boy messy, although the angle he's got the camera at doesn't show much.]

So, uh, I'm Stiles, this is Derek. Say hi, Derek. [The husky raises its head and yawns, which is apparently its version of hello.] So, I heard the next Swear-In's gonna be on the moon, which is simultaneously awesome and terrifying - I also heard that Swear-Ins are kind of a lightning rod for attacks? As cool as having 'he died in space' on my grave would be, it would also be cool to not die. But I haven't declared one way or another, and I'm not sure how long I can fail to decide to register or not.

But, uh - [Segues are for losers, Stiles just swings his laptop around so the screen's visible to the camera. It's open to a Bwitter account called @StilesWatch with an impressive follower count that's apparently dedicated to posting candids of teen heart-throb Stiles, mostly Stiles with dogs from Sunshine Therapy, although there's already one of him with Derek.] Yeah, I don't know what to do with this. I know we're all supposed to be kind of celebrities, but this is a lot. Jesus, I can't even get anyone to go on a date with me back home [HE DID NOT ACTUALLY MEAN TO SAY THAT OUT LOUD] and they're selling t-shirts, which I'm pretty sure is illegal? Definitely no one asked me if I wanted my face on a t-shirt. [Help??]

[Is that a pink man with horns on the screen? That is a pink man with horns on the screen.]

I've noticed the same thing! It's so overwhelming here. Back home people generally don't trust tieflings, and now, suddenly...there are swarms of people who adore me for some reason? I'm not sure how to feel about it.

I'm so confused.

[threeisapattern]

[.....Welp.

No offense to this guy, but Stiles can see why people don't trust Tieflings, if they all look like stereotypical depictions of the devil. Not that he's going to say it, because he may be an asshole sometimes but he's not that much of an asshole.]

You from an Earth or another planet?

[devilishly_handsome]

I'm from Golarion. It's pretty different from this place. In a lot of ways. Like how everyone's human here. I mean, there are a lot of humans back home, too, but it's not all human.

[threeisapattern]

Does that mean it's like - some kind of planetary hub? Or does your universe not do the one planet one dominant species thing?

[devilishly_handsome]

Oh, no. We can't travel to other planets where I'm from. We just have a lot of intelligent species on one planet. We're actually not as advanced as this place is.

That might be illegal? They can probably safely draw fanart and make shirts with it, but just taking a photo of your face miiiight be something you can go 'hey, stop!' about.

[threeisapattern]

I'd probably have to get a lawyer and shit for that, and I'm not exactly loaded.

[by_candlelight]

Yeah, that's fair. You probably couldn't get them to stop selling them without a lawyer, but if you at least want to money to go to people who aren't creepy stalkers, you might be able to publicly be all 'hey at least give the proceeds to charity'. It could make enough social pressure that those who are in it for a profit might feel they have to comply with your wish or have fans mad at them because people get really protective of charity stuff.

[threeisapattern]

Yeah, but then I'd be kind of endorsing them, too.

[S I G H]

I could probably get them to donate to an animal shelter or something. That seems like my brand.

[permavideo]

[amarvel]

Okay, that's creepy. I'm glad I've been avoiding social media and trying to keep my head down.

[threeisapattern]

I mean, I haven't exactly been on a photobombing campaign.

[amarvel]

Well, you've clearly done something to garner attention. Then again I do have the advantage of my abilities to keep myself unseen if I want.

[threeisapattern]

I talk to and walk dogs, which is apparently very interesting.

Text response ☂

[numberthree]

It's probably not.


[ Says the girl who grew up from birth with her face on comics, lunch boxes, posters, shirts, tattoos, everything and anything you could think of, and then like two dozen other things you didn't even want to think of. ]

[threeisapattern]

Yeah, but aside from saying, like, 'hey quit it, that's creepy', I don't know what I can reasonably do about it.

[numberthree]

That might be it.

It doesn't make it better, but you get used to it in some ways eventually.

My brothers and sisters and I had to put up with all of our childhood, and becoming an actress after that did nothing to stem the tide.

[threeisapattern]

What made you and your family so popular?

[the_horror]

First off, it's the MOON. You got to try, even if you leave the moment you swear in, right?

Second, whoa. That's an impressive fan count. Damn, I wonder if I have one of those now or not. That's crazy. I get you, for that back home comment. No one could see me back home, so now it's really overwhelming, huh.

[this coming from a kid who had his face on shirts, lunch boxes, posters, comics, etc e tc...]

[threeisapattern]

You could probably find out. Search your name or something, see if you, too, have a stalker Bwitter.

[Beat.]

And that's fair, okay, possibility of explosive decompression aside, I guess I can't turn that down completely.

[the_horror]

Oh. Man. Okay, I regret that. I have one. I only just got this cat. How'd they get a picture of me with it? [His face scrunches up a bit, then he shakes his head.]

Okay, well, that's a thing. Did you hear people write fanfiction too? That's the one that worries me. And yeah, see? Decompression aside... though that is an important one... it might not be so bad?

[threeisapattern]

Seriously? Fanfiction? [No. Nope! He's not going to try looking it up. That is a Pandora's box that is much better left unopened.]

And no, yeah, I'll probably go. It's not like I don't have a history of going to questionable places.

[bookkeeper]

[ That is definitely the world's grumpiest looking dog ever, wow. ]

So uh... Did you sneak him in through the back? Was I even home when you did this?

video

[threeisapattern]

You weren't here. Don't worry, though, he's cool with the kittens and Vicky.

video

[bookkeeper]

That was my next question. You're clearly on top of things.

[ Still, it's a relief. ]

They climb all over him yet?

video

[threeisapattern]

Only a little. I didn't want to overwhelm either of them, so they mostly just got each others' scents.
