irrelevance | ( I N B O X )

Aren't we lucky? [ he's wanted out of Beacon Hills but he's never thought about it in the sense of: oh, if only my parents settled down in some other state. to think, it's all on account of California. he doubts the credibility of that. ]

Hold on. You believe in the people in the mirror too? [ he thought Jackson was pulling his leg, but now he's going to go stand in front of mirrors and wait for something to happen. ] I thought Jackson was trying to pull one over on me.

We're definitely something. [ Ah yes, can you hear the dry sarcasm, because yeah, luck. He can doubt the credibility of it all he wants, just wait until he meets Jennifer - until he meets Kate - the Alpha pack. He hopes for both their sake that it doesn't happen. ]

Yeah? [ Why wouldn't he?... But then - oh Jackson - yeah. He's kind of a dick, that makes sense. ] They're real. Dealt with 'em. Sometimes they can come over here.

I keep thinking it can't get any more unfathomable and then it does. I should really stop thinking that. [ he wonders when he's going to see his first one, or if when he looks in the mirror, he won't be able to tell if one of them is looking back. ] They can cross over? How?

Not... Actually sure. I don't know if they can do it whenever they want and just... don't. Or if it's something the Queen allows. [ He tries not to think about the mirrors, even if he's apparently struck one's fancy. ]

They're generally... not good though. Probably just a good idea to cover your mirror up completely, actually.

It's probably better that we don't know. Maybe it's a two way street, like spirits or ghosts. A door has to want to open, from both sides.

[ WHEN IS A DOOR NOT A DOOR???? ]

Y'know, I think that's one of the things this place doesn't have... Ghosts. I'd feel sorry for any person that got stuck over there with them.

[ A pause. ]

Dude, if you see any ghosts you have to tell me.

[ idk when there's no fucking door on the hinges and people use beads?? ]

Let me get this straight. There are people behind the glass, people from fairy tales, werewolves, probably vampires and I don't even know what to call the rest, but you haven't met any ghosts?

Why?

[ Fair enough............... ]

Don't forget the dragon that use to be here. The Avengers, Captain Kirk, people without eyes, demons, angels and uh, dinosaurs... But I haven't met any ghosts.

Because it might be cool? [ Dude why are you so weird about him being friendly. ]

What color was it? The dragon. [ he specifies because he imagines dinosaurs are all some neutral color. ] The Avengers?

[ where have these people been all of his life. that sounds surprisingly like joy in his voice, for the first time in weeks. ]

What if their only goals are to end the living? Would you still want to meet them?

Black. [ Isaac actually sounds amused - Matt's been rather neutral with him, seeming to only keep the conversations they've had going for the information Isaac provides. This - it's improvement. ] Yeah, The Avengers -- I helped Tony Stark [ Tony freaking Stark. ] set up his workshop. [ And it was fucking awesome. ]

[ Would he still want to meet them? ~~Concerned, Daehler?~~ ] Yeah, even if that's their goal. Someone would have to stop them. [ BESIDES... ] And I know how to stop a ghost. They can't pass over salt. Iron too.

You're so full of shit, Lahey. [ and yet, that's not as vindictive as the words imply. there's a boyish sort of glee replacing lifelessness. ] Stark has drones and billions of dollars. He'd construct a moving guy from scratch before he asked you for help.

Where did you learn that? And how do you know it applies to every ghost?

Not here he doesn't! [ Okay, now this is more like how they used to be. He matches Matt's tone with a bit more of a pout, without even realising it. Sounding more like any of the million times he's bickered with Stiles. ] Ask him, he'll admit it. I can show you where it is.

[ There's not even an ounce of hesitation when he speaks again: ]

It's in this book - well it's kinda like a journal. One of the residents that knows about all this stuff gave it to me. [ There's shuffling before there's the sound of pages being flipped. ] Angels, demons, ghosts, skin walker whatever the hell that is, wendigo... But I don't know if it applies to every ghost...

I bet he could get them from the closet. [ and they'd be better than asking Isaac for help, like seriously, he probably broke something. ] You're going to show me to the top secret workshop of Tony Stark that you hypothetically helped construct? Are you offering that to super villains too?

[ not too bright, are you? ]

Couldn't hurt to try. If we get a spirit infestation.

[ HUFF! Matt he's just going to ignore the fact that you're being a major buzzkill. ] Well, he didn't. He was just remodeling the place, it was just manual labour. [ SO LITTLE FAITH. Pointedly: ] Are you a super villain?

[ It's Tony Stark knowing him he's already got Jarvis up and security running. ]

Demon's have the same weakness supposedly. We have those here. Devils traps stop them too. [ He'd be willing to show Matt how to make 'em if he wasn't being sort of a cow about Tony Stark. ]

I don't know, you tell me. [ his mood just dipped five thousand degrees below freezing. that's a thing, shut up. so enjoy the even colder shoulder, bro. ]

Demons? Next you're going to tell me that there are unicorns in the stables.

I don't think so. [ Hear the lack of hesitation in that answer. Because there was a distinct lack of hesitation.

The hesitation kicks in when unicorns are mentioned... ] I don't actually know if there are or not... It wouldn't surprise me.
