In case you hadn't noticed, there are very large wolves roaming around outside. Wolves that are supposed to be extinct. They hunt in packs and are extremely dangerous. Unless you're a suicidal bonehead with an incredibly idiotic death wish, I recommend staying inside and in groups. Do not try to fight them. 

[She sighs, rolling her eyes.] Yes, Kobra, that last part was primarily directed at you. [Idiot.]

As for the stone cube, Dr. Banner and I have been examining the star map etched into the sides and come up with a lot of nothing. We know the map does not reflect our solar system or any of our constellations and is therefore not from our galaxy. We also know the writing carved into it is in Old Norse and holds no real meaning. As for the indentations and the tree... I had a theory on that, but the book I was looking for is missing. 

If anyone else has something they'd like to contribute, please contact either Dr. Banner or myself. Thank you.

[ Dean has no idea what book you are taking about, Princess Peach. No idea whatsoever. But still, behind him it looks like he's still in the bar he's adopted as his own and second home with a bored look on his face. ]

It's Old Norse. The tree...thing is Yggdrasil from Old Norse mythology; which seems to be making a comeback. Ancient box. Ancient creatures. I'm just waiting for MJ to come back from the dead and start sprouting off Thriller for everyone to jam out to. Or Betty White, seems ancient enough.

... [Goddammit. As if she didn't hate this guy enough already! That was her theory, but without the book, she couldn't be sure. There had to be some correlation with the tree and the map and the indentations, she just couldn't figure out what it was.]

Stupid Dean.

Really. And since when are you a mythology expert?

[saltline]

[ Dean just happened to nab the one book that would've helped you out there, kitten. He apo--no, he's not sorry. :| ]

It's part of my job description, honey. If you just took the time to get to know me. I'm not just good looks, a winning personality, and sex on legs.

[preytosociety]

You might want to work on the image you're trying to project, because I didn't pick up on a single one of those things. Your over-confidence is a borderline tragedy. So far, you're just a self-obsessed jerk that appears to live at the bar and gets off on arguing with young women.

Not off to a good start.

[saltline]

I'm not arguing with young women. I'm...having heated discussions with an intelligent, kind of annoying, lady. How'd you pick up self-obsessed? I didn't even pick up self-obsessed.

[ A pause. ]

Got the answer before you, kitten. I seem to be off to a better start than most.

[goodluckkobra]

No one wants to fuck you, old man.

[saltline]

Don't hate cos you're jealous, man. It's embarrassing.

[porcelainpride]

Ohhh, we have wolves now. Fantastic.

[preytosociety]

I know, right? Isn't it just?

[She smiles, equal parts enraged and terrified on the inside. Wait a second. That face is nearly as flawless as hers.]

I don't believe we've met. I'm Lydia.

[porcelainpride]

[Though woefully without facial or hair products, Kurt has still managed to retain some of his inherent poise and flaw-free self.]

I've heard of you, via word of mouth, though I haven't had the pleasure of speaking to you. Kurt Hummel, delighted to finally make your acquaintance.

[preytosociety]

Really? [She wasn't expecting notoriety in a place like this-- wait.] ... Whose mouth?

[But she quickly recovers! Another glowing smile.] Likewise.

[porcelainpride]

Kobra's cookie-filled one.

So! [With clearly forced cheeriness.] Do we have some sort of contingency plan for if and when the enormous bloodthirsty wolves decide to make hors d'oeuvres of us?

[gloryisbullshit.livejournal.com]

But wait. Wait wait. Are you saying there's...wolves.

[preytosociety]

[Oh for the love of--]

Yes. That is exactly what I am saying. As proven by the fact that I literally just said it. Wolves. Big ones. Lots. Outside.

Was that more your speed?

[gloryisbullshit.livejournal.com]

But waitwait! Wait, hold on! I don't think I--

Wolves.

Large dogs? Like...wolves?

[preytosociety]

Yes. Wolves. Big teeth, large eyes, all the better to eat you. Are we ready to move on now?

[This topic is making her very uncomfortable.]

[gloryisbullshit.livejournal.com]

Nah, wait, I just gotta be sure!

So.



There are wolves.

[goodluckkobra]

[ private ]

Sorry, Lyds. He just really likes wolves.

[preytosociety]

[Private]

What? Why are you apologizing?

[Oh please no. For the love of all that is good and sane.]

Also? They're not that great.

[goodluckkobra]

Okay one, wolves are cool, especially giant ones.

Two, you seem to have just met my big brother. So... sorry 'bout him. He's harmless. Well, no. 'S a lie. He's really not harmless. Uh... don't make sudden movements and let him sniff your hand before you touch him.

[preytosociety]

Have you ever met one up close? [She's still really touchy about that subject.

... The minor revelation almost cracks her perfect mask of a smile.] Great. There's two of you. As if one wasn't bad enough!

What do you mean by 'not harmless'? Are you planning on letting this not harmless guy in the house? And where the hell are you right now?

[The last question may have been asked through clenched teeth...]

[flatasgodmademe.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a day to stay inside and watch porn on my lap-

[She snaps her fingers.]

On the tele-

[Another snap.]

Really starting to hate this place.

[preytosociety]

You could always find a buddy and re-enact something. Just remember to cover up. You don't know where these people have been.

[Lydia'd be lying if she'd said she hadn't considered it. Lord knows she could use the tension release.]

[flatasgodmademe.livejournal.com]

[Veronica does a double-take.]

Whoa. Okay. Whoa, whoa whoa. Re-enact porn?

When I talked like that, I was really trying to come off as more of a badass than a porn re-enacter.

[preytosociety]

[Lydia just smiles]

Oh. You're one of those girls.

[And this is probably why she doesn't have time to watch movies like Ghostbusters.]
